Before saying DLC isn't always like this, there has only been 1 game where my DLC didn't net me more than $10 and that was Rage. Heck my mech Baird code for Gears 3 sold for $48 by itself.

At least with a coin I could justify them "collecting" gaming memorabilia like Baseball cards. But $20+ for a skin and 15 minutes of gameplay when the game itself costs $60 is ridiculous.

Wow, I suppose I should start caring about the pre-order bonuses which I usually ignore because I have no interest in them. Still haven't got my code from BB for AC3 though. Have to look into that soon.

Anyway, I'll probably get a few of these games from BB and a few from Newegg. The few dollars savings that BB offers over Newegg per game is almost negated by having the game delivered and not having to spend time or gas picking it up.

Best Buy has been offering free shipping as well.

Just be careful.. I was making mad money selling dlc codes on eBay but it is against their copyright rules to sell them. Even if you write it's a physical item and it will be shipped you can still be reported. I was selling dlc for $20-$30 each. I even sold stan lee amazing spiderman dlc for $60, but i got reported twice. Now my eBay standing is "low" for having 2 of the same violation. I'm afraid what will happen if I'm reported a third time so I havent sold any. My warnings will reset after 3 months, which sucks because I have to wait until after the holidays. I have all my dlc for sale on this site now because I don't know where else to sell them.

I have a feeling that dlc sells for so much on eBay because a lot of people get reported for it so there isn't as much competition. Yes there is a lot of dlc on there but that doesn't mean it's allowed.. They just haven't been reported yet. Just go to any dlc listing and report it and it will be gone within 24 hours

Wow, BB stepping up again. Probably gonna preorder GTA V and maybe Bioshock

Crap I am still sitting on the RE6, and Dishonored DLC's bonuses plus the AC3 DLC and Steelbook. I just really hate E-bay and all their dam fees.

omg im gonna be BROOOOKE

Well considering NewEgg $12 off promo, no tax, and free ship pretty much can only be outweighed by a free steel book with preorder and seeing how ordering online doesn't guarantee the steel book... Yeah I rather have it in possession when I do it.

(I have 8% tax so NewEgg does save me some money.)

I'm seriously curious about what the prospects of best buy even being around by 3rd quarter next year. It just feels eerily like a Circuit City remix these days. As silly as it sounds its one of the primary reasons I haven't joined Unlocked at this point. Not sure I'd get a full year of the subscription.

Your subscription would be paid for with the savings you would get with the first issue's coupons. If not that, then by the $20 GCs from preordering any of the games listed in the OP.

Seriously, if you live even remotely close to a Best Buy (to use the coupons) and are an avid gamer, there is no reason not to join GCU.

Reward certs still lower the price of the item (making PMs harder) don't they? Are you guys banking the reward points and just paying the $60 up front on all games? I don't really buy anything at BB other than games, so banking them and not rolling them onto the next game doesn't work. Still, it's $20 credit though, so that's cool.

Could possibly be buying six of those games. GOW Judgment, GOW Ascension, GTA V, Tomb Raider, SC Blacklist and The Last Of Us. Six games and get back $120 works for me.

I love best buy, but i wish they would start posting the points a lot faster. Sucks that you have to wait a full month.

If you're Silver it seems like they post within two weeks or less now.

Wondering why DMC isn't on this list... strange

Yea but the only thing I buy at BB is video games so $2500 is a lot.

This made the decision to get the Premium Bioshock Infinite and Collectors God of War much easier.

This list looks great! Do they have these constantly? I'm definitely going to pre-order Bioshock, Crysis, Riptide, Dead Space, Gears of War, Injustice, The Last of Us, and Splintercell Black List. I might pre-orger GTA V or I might just pre-order all of them.

Check the link again. It brings up the Wii U version of Injustice. If any of the other titles have a Wii U version available when the 360 and PS3 version release, they'll be included as well.

Are they even going to carry GOW Collector's? It's not listed anywhere.
