1. go to gaming dept
2. Tell them you haven't gotten this month's mag yet.
3. ask them if you can just use their coupon
4. tell them they can verify that you are unlocked by looking it up in the system

99% of them will let you.

That's exactly what I did. I figure it's good for the @Gamers Unlocked program if they see the coupons getting used and I make a small profit + RZ points on the side.

Hell of a deal, I bit.

Thanks

question will the dragon age coupon work on the used game, none of the stores have the PS3 version of new.

I never got that to work during the mass effect 2 debacle of 2012.

No, but you can go to customer service and ask them to place an OMS order for the game, so you can use your coupon. They should charge you $5 plus tax and either have it shipped to the store or your house for free.

You may want to find the sku for the game you want ahead of time, since it doesn't show on the website anymore.


EDIT: I have done this for several games that were OOS.

Based upon my experience it is 50-50 as to whether or not you will have issues with R3. I have played the game on both of my playstations and had a major headache with one while the other was fine. The issue mainly comes from installing and uninstalling the game.

I am not sure if they fixed this problem but at one point you had to make sure you installed the game before downloading any patches. Otherwise you ran the risk of a corrupted install. For some reason the patches interfered with R3 correctly installing trophy data which in turn corrupted the data on the HDD. (see the bottom of this thread: http://community.us.playstation.com/...art=0&tstart=0)

I also had an issue uninstalling the game. The uninstall process took well over an hour and even after it was finished I was left with corrupted data on my drive. I had to boot my PS3 to safe mode, repair the HDD, and then uninstall the data (which still took 40 minutes) to recover the space on my PS3. The old PS3 that my son uses had no problems at all installing, running, or uninstalling the game. That said, IMHO the hardware has nothing to do with the stability of the game. You either get lucky and get a clean install or get a bad install and then have to go through a few other steps.

I would still say it is worth playing the came for $10 just be prepared that you PS3 may need some TLC when you are done.

the PS3 section at my main best buy is a joke compared to 360 section. There are almost no older PS3 games compared to the 360. but I will try this OMS Order thing. thanks

That's like saying "It's still worth ing a $5 whore, just be prepared for hepatitis."

Edit: I just noticed your typo, which makes it even funnier.

Buying used is never a good choice.

Worked for me, and I got the June issue for free. (I just signed up at the end of May so I was not going to get this issue)

also, bring the original receipt from March if there's was an overlap of mags like May/June you probably could get both but it's too late for that now. And let the gaming rep know your coming back for next months too build a rapport with the rep it'll come in handy for the future.

is this deal still good?

Yup, just picked it up yesterday. $10.86 after tax.

Played the game a little. Got through chapter 4 of 20 I think. The only thing this game has going for it is the price IMO. I can name 15 better FPS without even trying. I think I'll get about 9 bucks back at BBY and take the loss. Life is too short for bad games.
