My comment was referencing Amazon, which has no b&m presence

I was really hoping for a deal on Sleeping Dogs! Guess we still have the $10 off promo.

PC versions are not and have never been included in the offer. The preorder card has no mention of the $20 offer, so it is not included.

I was able to pricematch a blender (ok, a Margaritaville frozen conconction maker ) with a printout from amazon.com (and later brought a receipt from target where I purchased the same product on clearance for 70% off and got another pricematch). Of course YMMV depending on what manager is working that day

I asked the guy in the local store about darksiders 2 weeks ago, and he said he was going to suggest it.

Since its also being released for the WiiU, and we'll be picking that up for our existing wii games and accessories, waiting to see what new goodies the put in the wii U release, it might be a good coincedence.

Depends of course how much they want to sell the wii U for.

Why would you need 2 Margaritaville frozen concoction makers?

wtf I uploaded an pic showing a big official sign specifically stating Best Buy now matches Amazon.com in my post(when I said this was in a texas store, that's what I was referring to). Was it deleted by a mod? Well, I'm at work now on my laptop and that image was on my desktop so I guess I'll try it tonight when I get home.

Ok here it is...

Gonna have to pre order borderlands 2 and nba. Especially since I bought some Take Two shares recently.

after the pm, returned the one to target since I used cash for it and trade-in credit at bb

Everything posted in the other thread was people price matching Amazon in the US in store. Canada has been doing it alot longer I guess(I have no idea-maybe it was that division's idea), but I was just talking about the pilot program that started a few weeks ago and that was US. Note that this is only in store and not online:BB.com still doesn't price match Amazon and that was never reported by anyone

bump couldn't find the thread.

Maybe we should add a list of preorder bonuses for each game, so people will know what they should receive via email or instore.

Or we could just add the link for the Pre-order Bonuses thread--every game other than FIFA Soccer '13, NBA 2K13, Black Ops II, and Halo 4 is listed in there: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=297423

Shame the Gamestop pre-order bonus for Sleeping Dogs wasnt switched with Best Buy's. Would have been perfect for me. Oh well.

Nice thread, but it is missing the physical bonuses like the AC3 Steelbook.

Just last weekend I ordered 13 to 15 games from newegg which had a 10 coupon. All the games I purchased averaged 49.99 no taxes free shipping. I think I will take the up front savings.

Maybe this link is better:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Entertai...at219000050042

I think it has all the bonuses.

Was hoping they'd toss Guild Wars 2 into their $20 preorder promo since even the $10 in-store pickup doesn't qualify with PC games. Guess it's Amazon with their $5 credit.

My local BB price matches Amazon as well - they're actually listed as one of the options for the CSR to pick when doing an adjustment.
