Just for the fun of it, I'd like like to point something out to those that were crying foul that yesterday they didn't get their penny difference back. The coupons state "no cash back."

Just came back from the BBY near UCF and had to have the manager override the price. The game came up as 24.99, but the sticker was showing 19.99. The manager had to bring me to customer service to credit me 5.00 because the system didn't let them override the price at the register. In the end, I payed 1.29 (FL sales tax). BTW: I bought the last PS3 version from that store. Happy hunting!

I know this has been said before, even in this very thread possibly, but I believe it bears repeating.
You guys, this game is HORRIBLE. Horrible.
Ranks up there with some of mankind's most awful crimes.

I'm gonna go return it tomorrow. Give them back a penny.

lol i went to my BB today and they had the price on the shelf for deadliest warrior but no copies. the price was 19.99. The SA went to the back and grabbed a copy and it rang up as $24.99. i pointed out that it was $19.99 on the shelf but the SA and the manager insisted that it was for a "different version" of the same game series (like halo 2 and halo 3). lame excuse -__- but for $5, I'm not gonna nag about it I guess.

Have you actually played this game with a friend? Not just single player? I admit, the single player is not good, but playing with friends is a lot of fun imo.

Got my copy, paid $5.xx (even though I have 2 BB Gift Cards I forgot to use, I'm a moron). Didn't see a tag for it at $19.99, and had no problem paying for it.

Manager hooked me up this evening. Didn't even really ask, they just offered it to me since it was 'the last game they had'. Game rang up $25. The supervisor showed him the $19.99 tag and the manager honored it. Except how it was done was new to me...

Instead of manually discounting the game down, they 'made up' a gift card for $5.29 and just 'sold' it to me.

Wow...all this for a crap, bunk game. I saw this thread yesterday around noon or something. I could have gotten the game free. I just didnt want to waste my time with a game I will never, ever play. Even "free" has a price - such as the time wasted driving to the store, and then the time wasted haggling with the cashier/manager to get them to accept the coupon and get the deal, and then the time wasted actually playing the game (the most agonizing part IMHO). Not to mention you have to pay $5 for the mag. All for a POS game I will never play... No thanks. This game should be free anyway, thats the only way they will get people to play it. Ugh.

Most of us have the subscription due to being in the Gamer's Club Unlocked, so at most it's $1.50 an issue(10 issue sub). But my subscription/membership already paid for itself quite a few times over from all of the trades I was doing. So the magazine subscription is like a bonus for me.

I went to the West Paterson Best Buy last night after seeing the OP and thought I'd give it a try. I'm not sure if this is usually the case or not, but the only Gamer magazines they had on the rack were from March & April of 2011. Yes, 2011. When I asked if they had any of the June 2012 issues, the salesman pulled one out from the side of the register he was at said "you mean this one?" but didn't hand it over right away. I actually had to tell him "I want to buy it". Anyway I took out the coupon (I bought the magazine too), grabbed the game and proceeded to the register. It took a couple of minutes for the cashier and the manager to figure out how to make the coupon work, but they changed the price of the game to $20.00 from $19.99 and I was done. Thanks OP!

A friend and I had a good laugh playing this game as the ninja and watching the episode about the ninja (and calling bullshit whenever they said anything bad about the ninja). The dismemberment and gore was pretty funny, I really enjoyed my time with this game (before I traded into gamestop). Well worth $0.

good question. maybe we all gave the publishers the false impression that this game needs a sequel? deadliest warrior 2 anyone??? they are probably looking at yesterday and todays sales and wonder WTF???

Picked it up for $0, played it for 30 min. Couldn't figure out why I had to launch the game from the favorites menu, beat the arcade mode, gave it to my nephew as a "gift".

Rings up 24.99 yesturday at my BB, damn you BB.

Of course the price increases before I can PM it at Best Buy. Figures.

one-hit kills are hilarious!

this free game is better than free x-blades.

so wats the list of free games bestbuy has given away so far

I think the most entertaining thing about this thread is the stories of what kind of BS the worker/managers will spew at you just to avoid giving you a free game.

$5 still isn't bad, if I got it I would've put it on goozex.com right away (no lie). The gameplay looks down right generic and sloppy
