Gears of War 3 + 800 Microsoft Points $34.99

fixed link, changed text to add MSP deal

I can't seem to activate it so I don't know if it actually works, but it looks like you can get free 800 Microsoft Points along with the game (or the Epic Edition).

[allen9917]

how do you get the 800 points for free? My total shows 44.99 after adding the regular edition and 800 points to cart.

[TheodorusMajorus]

Ohhh, I just checked it out. If you click for the details on the 800 points offer, it says that the the offer "may not be valid in combination with other offers". Maybe that's why it won't work? I don't know if a sale is considered an "offer". Best bet might be to go try it in store tomorrow.

It looks legit. I can't get it working either. I'm going to get this next month. Thanks OP.

Nice deal if you are willing to sacrifice the opportunity to get it 5 dollars cheaper on bf. Awsome game

[Gosha]

If the 800 points thing works, I wouldn't mind getting this.

[allen9917]

well if we can get that 800 points for free then this is as good as the BF deal.

After looking at the deal more closely I acually agree with you. Hope everyone gets it with their purchase

[sgaldis]

These video game DoTD's are getting hotter this week...I like it! Seriously, those of you considering waiting to get this on BF for $5 less: have you ever been out on BF???

But if we can get the 800 space bucks to stack, that would be smokin.

I just ordered it and got the 800 MS offer to work. My total was $37.70 after tax and free Silver shipping. Ordering it now and guaranteeing that price with the points is as good as trying to get it Black Friday for $5.00 less and possibly no MS points.

I tried it with the 800 points card and it worked. I added both of them to the cart through the deals page here:

try empting your cart and then adding them at the same time on that page. It showed up in cart (i don't know if it shows up on the final checkout, bestbuy won't let me sign in)

I don't see this posted yet. It looks like the BestBuy deal of the day for Wednesday 11/16 is the regular version of Gears of War 3 for $35. Not so great considering it'll be around $30 on Black Friday, but maybe some people would rather buy it now than go out and have to deal with the crowds and all later.

EDIT: Online offer for free 800 MS points is not working. It also looks like it's not available for in-store pickup.

I was able to place an order with the free 800 points. I clicked thru the offer page and added the points on the offer page.

[loomis1975]

Worked for me, great deal.

[Kylearan]

Very, very nice. If I wasn't 13th in line over on Goozex, I'd bite!

[An J0e]

well looks like I'm gunna miss this cause I don't feel like fooling with making a new account. Seems to be working though.

Might be worth it for someone to make a thread with the title saying +800 points, inless a mod feels like editing this one. I gotta get to sleep. Hope it keeps working for everyone.

[fishwaterjohn]

it works (with the 800 points)....thanks much OP....

[Dump1eSti1tskin]

I got mine shipped for $36.99 after tax with the 800 points included.

[TheHelix]

Man what a deal. Too bad I already have it.

[scblueeyedguy]

Booo! on the not available for pick-up. Must be saving store stock for BF which is stupid if you've got willing customers today!

[ChunLiBarbie]

Is this the same thing as Post#9854 in the Target Clearance Thread for $19.98?

[loomis1975]

No.

This is best buy's listing for the LE:

[buckythekat]

wonder if the 800 points can still be gotten for free once the Black Friday deal of $30 kicks in

[ChunLiBarbie]

Oh damnnn!!! Wonder why Target sold the LE for $19.98?!!

Sneaky..they've only got this available for shipping...no in-store pickup. Probably their way of preventing people from picking up in-store tomorrow, trading right back in, and getting 800 free space bucks.

I'll fucking buy in-store, trade in and wait patiently for my return copies I have the credit to do it.

Haha doubt I'll really do it though. Would be getting 800 points for less than a $1 after tax.

[MIX_MASTER_ICE]

If somehow you can finagle this deal in-store and use the buy 2 get 1 free coupon on games 39.99 and under...could be a very profitable flip.

[JaytheGamefan]

Fantastic deal - with my $10 RZ gift certificate, I got the game and the $10 in MS points for $26.

[hmbtnguy]

Thanks OP! Now if only they'd drop Uncharted 3, then I'd have no reason to wake up early for BF :3

[herpderp118]

afaik best buy in-store must pricematch its website prices/promos
