It's weird no add's have been released for next week. I wonder is this is the best deal for MW3 or not

there is a $5 giftcard offer that stacks with the 5 for $100 deal for the midnight release if your local BB is participating in it.

Faningtastic. I have Skyrim, SR3 and Zelda preordered at BB and I am going to get 10% off for each .

don't forget to try & get the $10 target giftcard pm for Skyrim it's better than the 10% off but YMMV.

In MD we have a 6% sales tax so this will end up costing me $58.29--not quite as good as Amazon's deal which is $56.99 (I have Prime shipping so no charge there), but by getting it at BB I'll still be able to check next door to see if they have any hardened editions at Gamestop first. If they don't then I'll go across the parking lot to BB and get this one.

Ok, how would those work if I wanted to print one out?

if you have a smartphone don't even bother just text "RZ", "PREMIER" or "SILVER" to 332211 & get this plus all the other coupon code sent direct monthly. If you print a coupon out they're not barcode specific so you can use them over & over again.

I'm also in MD and also being an Amazon prime member myself, I generally tend to favor amazon over Best Buy when it comes to game purchases. HOWEVER...... In the particular case of MW3, I have to go with BBY on this one because of the piles of cash they decided to throw my way if I preordered from them. I literally took about 8 games I had lying around the house (most of them 1 year old games), walked into BBY, and they offered me for each of those games trade in values ranging from $13 to sometimes even $18 for some games (Black ops was one of these games). After the preorder bonus (50% extra) plus a generous 10% extra for being a G@MER unlocked member, which comes to a total 60% extra for each game, I ended up receiving from $20 to $28 in credit for EACH game. I put $5 down towards my MW3 preorder and walked out with a $200 gift card. That's INSANE. If I were you, I would definitely jump on this badwagon because things as good as this, don't last forever. However, I you have absolutely no games to trade, by all means you can save $1.30 by going the amazon route and without having to bother with any coupons. (Those $1.30 in savings negate your chance of a midnight release pickup thou) And I know some of you would think "What's to stop me from walking out with all the gaming credit and cancelling the preorder later?". All I have to say is, don't do that. Try to pick up your preorders if possible. You get to pick your game at midnight, the employees are going to like you for boosting their preorder numbers and they'll welcome you with open arms the next time you want to get a good deal on trades or future preorders.

Same thing happened to me yesterday, cancelled my Gamestop preorder because of it. Thanks OP for the coupons, printed 1, got them sent to my phone and received a few in the mail the other day.

Yea the BB trade in value has been amazing towards pre orders, so good I got rid of almost every game i previously owned lol.

Yeah I hope this coupon works. Save $6 with the coupon plus I have a $5 RZ cert, plus I traded in 3 old games with the preorder bonus for $47 in credit so that nearly covers the whole price of MW3 right there. Thanks OP.

Isn't it a bit unreal to go there and dump a bunch of crap you're not even playing and walk out the door with a gift card you know has enough balance to buy a tablet? LOL

And THAT'S how a true CAG purchases the most coveted game of the year. Without even opening his wallet. LOL. Good for you my friend, good for you.

Fun story on the side: Being the usual "go-to guy" for electronic purchases for all my friends and family embers (as I'm sure most of you are), my wife's best friend ask me to help her pick a TV at Best Buy back in August. (I've purchased all 4 flat screens in my house from amazon warehouse deals because the price difference is SUBSTANTIAL to say the least, but she wouldn't hear of it. She's the type of old school customer who likes to pay for something and take it home immediately. It's amazing how many retailers nowadays survive just on the pet peeves of that demographic alone)

Anyway, I went with her, helped her get the best LCD TV within her budget along with a Blu-ray player they had on sale, and when she was paying at the register, the guy asks her for her Reward Zone membership, and she says: "Don't have one, not interested, just tell me how much so I can pay and be on my way". And just when the guy was about to type "No reward zone". My wife says to me: "Enter yours, don't let the purchase points go to waste". Long story short, I already have the reward zone certificates printed, ready to pick up a free copy of MW3 on Monday night courtesy of my wife's BFF and her reluctance to give her money to those mysterious amazon fairies on the other side of her computer screen .

How much did she dump on a TV & Blu Ray to give you $60 in RZ certs? Even if you have the Silver 25% bonus, she would have had to have spent almost $2500 to net you that many points!

The TV alone was over 2K. The blu ray player was on sale for $89. That plus some "small change" points I already had on my account, netted me me a $50 certificate. I also have a $10 BB gift card a fellow CAG sent me in exchange for a $10 Kmart gift card I received in the mail as an "apology" on their part for not being able to purchase MW3 during a price mistake a couple of weeks ago.

I am getting the mw3 console and skyrim this week. If I use the $500 get a $50 gift card coupon will it mess with my buy 5 games get $100? I was thinking of waiting till friday and get console, skyrim and Live card and that would be over $500. Anyone know? Thanks

If I were you, I would play it safe and get this deal from Target instead: You get The MW3 Console for 400, + a $50 target Gift card, then use the gift card to buy your Live card and you would probably have money left in the gift card in the end (I don't know exactly what kind of live card you want to buy or how much it is, I assume is a 1 year XBOX Live gold card? If it is, also have in mind target is allowing people who buy MW3 to also buy 1 year Xbox live cards for $39.99. You could always request to speak to a manager and tell him technically you did buy MW3. The $400 edition that comes with a console. LOL Chances are, they will let you buy the 1 year Live card for $39.99 as well). Then go to Best Buy and fulfill your Skyrim pre-order so you can get your 5/100 promotion. You end up Spending $460 + tax out of pocket, ($400 at target and $60 at Best buy and end up with everything you want Plus probably some left over credit in the target Gift card. Now here's a piece of useful info for you: target is giving a $10 Gift card with Skyrim. you could try to get BBY to price match this when picking up your preorder, or you could always buy Skyrim at target with the $50 gift card they're gonna give you for buying the console and get your Live card at ebay or amazon which is always cheaper. then there's the thing of your 5/100 promo. You would have to make that choice. Maybe there's a different game at BBY you could use instead of skyrim to get the promo? Anyway, here's more info on the target deal. It seems it was made just for you . One more thing Look closely at the picture. It's really vague the meaning of the bundle but it would appear they're also giving an elite subscription card with the console? Maybe not. Like I said, the picture is really vague:

And here's the flyer where they tell you about the 12 month live card for people who purchase MW3:

That is all good but I need MW3 and Skyrim to complete my 5 games. I can get a 12 month gold card for $35 at best buy when I buy my console I am hearing. I have $75 in best buy rewards I am using twords the purchase also. If I buy the console and gold card and pick up a few dvds to make my purchase over $500 I will get the $50 gift card. Then I can use it to buy Skyrim and have all the normal rewards points plus the $100 in the future. I am using my best buy card also so I will be getting double points too. I thank you for your suggestion and help.

Thanks will be using this.

Pretty decent deal, but I am really optimistic about there being another B2G1 before Christmas.

do i need to be a reward member to use this coupon?
