Did anyone else pass on the kits so that children could get them? Not trying to judge but I would think a ki would enjoy them a lot more than many of us here.

Unfortunately I couldn't get to the store when it opened, so I got there about an hour later, and they were out of accessories. I did get Ghost Trick for $15 though.

you should be fine as long as you preordered it. sounds like slidecage had a localized incident of cashier stupidity.

Ghost trick is 15 bucks at TRU?

I got White and my friend went in also to get Black and we both got the kits. Would anyone have bought it for $11.99??

yep I got my email containing my $5 digital coupon. More or less a code you enter online that gives you $5 off the purchase.

yeap....i did call in to see if you got a gift card for making you wait ( in the past the items HAd TO Be there when you picked them up) my items were not even pulled yet... They said they were going to forward it to another office but doubt iget anything.. had to wait almost 10mins to get my game

Got Pokemon Black today. Worked out nicely because I needed a new CD rack to hold my CD's and best buy had one cheap as well.

Target has random items in their clearance section I purchased:
mel b (ps3) $9.98
star wars the force unleashed 2: the collector's edition (ps3) $55.98

Picked up Pokemon White today and got my $5 GC. Hope the points show up soon so I can verify that I got both :P

Went and grabbed pokemon white (with kit) and kingdom hearts recoded. Saw a sign for 75% off all guides if buying with the game it's for so I grabbed the pokemon collectors guide (retail $30) and they manually adjusted it. So everything all together cost me $65 after taxes

What are the chances Best Buy will PM Kmart's deal of a free copy of MLB 11 with purchase of a PS3 to go along with their own deal of a $50 gc with a PS3?

I went with Black and... Platinum :x

Picked up Pokemon Black with a gift card. The Toys R Us near me didn't have another DS game that I wanted, and they were out of those little stylus packs. I went to Best Buy to pick up some seasons of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and picked up Pokemon too. It seems a bit much that they have gift cards in those CD cases now.

This. Im usually a fan of swag, but there were so many little kids behind me, I felt they would actually use the kits and it would make their day. I was just happy to get both my games at B1G1 50%.

Certainly would have in a 'last kits, kids behind me' situation, but 4 of the 5 customers that morning were guys my age. No sympathy there.

YMMV but chances are better if the deal is in the physical ad and not just on the blog.

It was if you took advantage of the B1G1 50% off DS games deal.
