No
Coupons DO NO STACK with PRICE MATCHES, "PACKAGE" deals (buy 2 get 1, etc), other coupons on the same title or other promotions (monthly 10% off, etc)

After I called around, I found out that they didn't get them in at any of my local stores. I ended up ordering RT from Amazon because I didn't want to wait and then have it turn into another Infinite Space. $30 is cheap enough for me (I still haven't heard if that's MSRP, or if it's just cheaper at GS and Amz).

Now I just wait to see if Theatrhythm makes it in on time so I can figure out what to put with it for the b2g1 sale.

I think best buy maybe isnt going to carry rhythm thief at all in store. Putting in random zip codes I was unable to find a single store that had it.

I was able to get theatrythm in store though and have played it a little- I really like it. The best handheld rhythm game ive played since elite beat.

They have it in at my store on the shelves right now

Any word on the success of returning and exchanging a zero value game?

Does it show up as "In Stock" if you check the game's inventory online for your store?

As for Rhythm Thief, I noticed on the game's page under the Features section, it says "From our expanded online assortment; not available in all Best Buy stores", which seems pretty weird. Maybe that explains the lack of availability.

I've done this in the past with no issue. Just gotta be equal value

Huh, didn't even notice that. I'd noticed before that it seemed like the 3DS gets very few titles in-store around here. They shipped out things like Mario Tennis and Kid Icarus, but when it came to other games they simply never got them in at any store. Theatrhythm, Rhythm Thief, Shifting World, Tales of the Abyss, and other games just simply never got shipped here. I used to think that there was maybe a group of six of us that actually owned a 3DS in the city.

It reminds me of what one of the video game managers told me one time about their trade-ins. It annoyed her that they based the games each store got on trends for what type of game was bought the most at that particular store. As such, the collection stagnates because they keep getting in copies of Madden 08, or other games that nobody wants to buy that just sit and clog up the used game shelves.

Had to take advantage of the Best Buy and Toys R Us deals.

Ended up going with Uncharted 3 CE, Smash Bros., and Touch My Katamari at Best Buy.

My only worry is that the receipt doesn't show the true value of the game, just that I was charged nothing for it. I can see them making a big deal out of this even though I can just take them to their racks to show them how much it actually costs.

Either way, I'll try it a little later today or tomorrow and see what happens. Rather get a no than not know.

are you talking about rhythm thief or final fantasy theatrhythm

I have a similar value game I want to exchange but it has a RZ Cert attached to it making it $2.50 less. Will that screw it all up? Thanks!

I did that once and if I remember right the points got refunded to my account then I had to pay the difference. So it doesn't really screw anything up, you just have to pay the $2.50 or whatever it is.

Cool, good to know thanks!

yup, exactly my experience as well

I went in on the b2g1. Went with Theatrhythm, Just Dance GH (free), and NCAA Football 13.

so anyone find Pokemon Conquest at TRU yet? i notice that the website says it can be shipped and picked up from store (no stores has it in stock around me or yet)... im hoping they are restocking it this week soon.
