Wii, DS, PS3, XBOX360 Assorted Titles 5$ off at Costco from 10/13-11/6

Item # - 113747, 283249, 568444, 569197

As I have learned, the titles that Costco carries vary wildly from store to store.

An item number is not relegated to only one title but many. Item numbers generally depict what system the game is for and the price.

In the past, I know I have been able to pick up greatest hits titles for PS3 and 360 around 13$ with this sale. They are generally priced a dollar or two off of MSRP and then the 5$ on top.

Two of the titles shown in the picture are Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time, Captain America. I will try and run by there after work today and get a better idea of worth while buys.



I know it is not the best deal in the world but I felt it was worth noting.

This coincides with and should be combined in the other recent Costco thread. Essentially, Costco has $14.99 and $24.99 holiday bin games this year that aren't the usual shovelware. For example, some CAGs have found Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid Other M for the Wii. This would make them $10 each which would be amazing.

hmm a bit confused is there a coupon or something you use? I bought a few 14.99 games last week, and sly collection for 24.99.. would i get 5 more bucks off it i returned and rebought them?

If they are sealed, I would check the white stickers on the front of the game cases to see if the product numbers match.

Costco seems really good with returns. Every time I've returned something, it's been a breeze (knocks on wood). I bet "price adjustments" or "return/rebuys" are probably easy at Costco generally as well. I'd give it a try for $15 or $15 Costco giftcard.

ya theyre sealed i havent opened any. Ill have to check what i got exactly and check it out. WHat number am i trying to match to the ones in the OP exactly?

I've been to two costco stores recently, and the gaming section in each has been wiped out to one small area with few titles.

Worked for me many years ago on a Sonic DS game. Just show them your receipt with the matching item # listed in OP and they should give you back $5 during the coupon period.

Only if you want someone to hand you fifteen dollars.

Worked for me on Halo:ODST. I bought it for 53, it dropped to 25 a few weeks later. They gave me a Costco cash card for the difference. Zero questions asked.

It isn't a blanket coupon on any game costco sells, but rather a coupon on a specific costco SKU(s), which has various games on associated with it. If the item you bought is has the same SKU number as the coupon, you can get an adjustment at customer service. If it doesn't, then you won't get anything. The SKU number on games is usually just under the price on the price tag and it is also on the receipt.

I can't say what the number is because I've already tossed out that coupon mailer, but someone else might be able to chime in with it.

There is no coupon for the deal. It's one of those 'no coupon required' deals that are featured in the last few pages of the coupon circular.

this is an xlent deal if you choose titles wisely

283249 = discounted wii titles (KEY, other m; shovelware like racquet sports)

anyone have any idea of the discounted PS3 titles? too bad no PSP titles on sale.

Probably in preperation for this sale. They will have new stock for this sale

Coupons generally aren't required anyways, since the cashier generally has the code and scans it in automatically.

Usually, the main difference with the instant rebates usually is on how much tax is charged.

Ok I stopped by my local Costco on the way home, and they have the games that are going to be on sale in stock. I'll post from memory what I saw that this group would potentially be interested in.

Base price is $14.99 for DS/Wii games and $24.99 for 360/PS3 games.

DS:
Rune Factory
Ivy The Kiwi
Lego Batman
Dragon's Lair
SW: Republic Heroes

Wii:
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Metroid Other M
Tournament Of Champions
Firefighter

360/PS3 games:
Captain America
Thor
Mayhem
SW: Force Unleashed II

PS3 Only:
Uncharted 2
Sly Cooper Collection
Just Cause 2
Da Blob 2
Ratchet And Clank: A Crack In Time

360 Only:
Test Drive Unlimited 2

May not be all of the games, but it is what I could see in my brief browsing of the shelves. I was kinda hoping for DKCR, but I didn't see it.

Looks like Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be eligible. It's item # is 113747.

Which Rune Factory 1 or 2 DS is on sale?

Anyway all the games i bought match. I got
spectrobes origins
counter force
kirbys epic yarn
rune factory
just cause 2
valhalla knights
dragons lair

I may go back and get another copy of rune factory or something at this price

Just to be clear, i can just go back on the 13th with these and get the money difference right? What do i do, just go to customer service and mention that these are on sale for $5 off? what do i have to site for them?

It was one.

you know im looking at those price stickers costco uses.. these are on there really good. I was considering grabbing an extra copy of rune factory and maybe kirby's to keep sealed, but not if this sticker cant be removed. Anyone know a way to get this off without ripping the plastic? Its got some kinda super adhesive on it or something

Just go in, say that you had bought these games for $14.99 but had noticed that the price dropped after you bought them and would like to get the difference if possible.

I've done this only once before. I had bought an office desk for $100, but just a week after buying it the price had dropped down to $60. I ended up getting the difference, no questions asked. No hassle whatsoever.
