Coupons valid 3/4 - 4/7

SPEC OPS: The Line is on the cover of THIS MONTHS MAG

***You DO NOT have to be "UNLOCKED"(PAID MEMBERSHIP) to use the coupons & it's NOT tied to your RZ account just buy the mag and use the coupons***

***DETAILS REGARDING THE PROCESS/PRICES OF BEING UNLOCKED(GCU), GAMERS CLUB(FREE/PAID) & @GAMER MAG CAN BE FOUND BELOW****

Coupons DO STACK with SALE prices(no override should be needed since they now state "valid on sale prices")
Coupons DO STACK with the 10% discount on USED games for GCU($15 PAID MEMBERSHIP)
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)
Coupons DO NOT WORK with ONLINE ORDERING yet BUT if enough people "KUDO" in the link provided below BestBuy will change the coupons accordingly like they did with coupons stacking with sale prices.
[-(BestBuy allowing a single coupon to be used on 2 copies of the same game is COMPLETELY YMMV but per the wording on the coupon 1 per game.

Sound Off below BestBuy wants to know(be sure to "kudo" it to make it count)

MAGAZINE DETAILS

SUBSCRIBING - (In-Store vs Online)
In-Store - You get the current months mag for FREE JUST HAVE THEM SCAN IT when you bring the subscription receipt($15) from the gaming pre-order kiosk. Keep this receipt in the event you don't get the next months mag & a gaming rep MAY allow you to use a store copy until you start getting yours in the mail. It's usually 6-8 weeks BEFORE you should start receiving your 1st issue.

Online - You pay the $15 subscription price just as you do in-store but you don't get the free instant copy(EVEN IF YOU GO IN-STORE AFTER DOING IT ONLINE) & it's usually 4-6 weeks BEFORE you should start receiving your 1st issue.

Mag Prices - $5 single issue, $15 year sub of 10 issues not 12(2 months of coupons overlaps)
$15 also covers BB unlocked bonuses(10% off used + 10% extra trade-in)

Pretty good IMO. Definitely picking up ME2 again and Bulletstorm. Plus my store has a used copy of Endless Ocean for $19.99 I've been eyeing. This seals the deal!

[Kyden139]

Maybe its because it was the limited edition, but I was just at BB today and Bulletstorm was $30 new. So wouldn't that make it $15 after coupon? Or is the coupon off of used?

[JaylisJayP]

Wonder if i can find a used copy of lego pirates.

[blazenumb1]

Awesome, thanks.

Pretty sure all copies will be limited edition. Ive never actually seen a vanilla copy anywhere.

But I dont see a listing for a new copy on BB's site.

Might give my coupon to a buddy since I got this for $8 during the DoTD last year. Need someone to co-op this with!

[Enuf]

what did it scan up as? The new copies aren't even showing up on their site & the used ones are $17.99 which usually indicates that the new copies are $19.99. I'll update the OP until we get comfirmation either way though.

[megma42]

Dang, already own RAGE, Arkham City, and Bulletstorm. Looks like I'll be digging in the pre-owned bin.

i saw bulletstorm at bb today for 29.99- epic ed.

[Psychonik]

This is goddamn confusing. So how do I get these deals? I have to go in-store???

[naf]

Glad ive been putting off ME2. All over it

[FlamedLiquid]

may get Rage at that price. And already have Mass Effect 2 on 360...but a ps3 copy for $5 is tempting.

[FlamedLiquid]

you need the coupons, which are in the Gamer magazine. and yes, they can only be used in store.

Sorry, I didn't get it scanned since I wasn't going to buy it today anyways. Both PS3 and Xbox shelf tags showed $29.99. And the website shows used PS3 as $19.99.

[Camre]

Think my store has some Rage Anarchy Editions left, probably need to pick it up. Was it the PS3 version that was horrible or did it get patched yet or what?

[INCyr]

Fantastic price on ME2, and i had planned on buying it this month anyway. Now i just hope my magazine shows up on time - I've heard a lot of people seem to have problems with that...

[JP73]

Dude, this month is awesome after a weak last two issues. I will definitely get it when it comes out. 5 bucks for ME2 is tough to beat. And I've often seen Arkham City for 39.99, so that could potentially be 20 bucks. And Rage has been 20 bucks several times, so that could be 5 bucks as well. Awesome issue. When does it hit the store?

[slidecage]

anyone want to trade coupons I have no use for all of mine besides the 10 off 20 used

mass effect 2 if the ps3 price holds buy at best buy for 5 trade to amazon for 9 almost double flip

[Enuf]

if your a RZ unlocked member you get the @gamer mag with the coupons in the mail(hopefully) otherwise look in the OP under "Magazine details" for how to get & how much.

Sorry, I didn't get it scanned since I wasn't going to buy it today anyways. Both PS3 and Xbox shelf tags showed $29.99. And the website shows used PS3 as $19.99.

well if you get the PS3 copy used just used the $10 off coupon to score it for $10.

[Tdog987]

Is the magazine available in store?

[TheShepherdSauce]

Hm, already have ME2 for xbox. Is there anything extra in the PS3 version that might be worth picking it up (other that collectors purposes)?

[Enuf]

Is the magazine available in store?

yes, they are found in stores in the gaming area but not all stores are smooth with putting the correct months out on time so ask if you don't see them. Remember it's the March issue so they may not put them out right now.

most of the DLC is already on the disk "includes +6 Hrs of bonus missions"

I've actually seen non-limited editions of Bulletstorm at the Sony Store (only noticed because they had both for the same price).

I think I'm in for Rage.

[IAmTheCheapestGamer]

FYI: You may want to add that the Mass Effect 2 Cerberus Network code voucher 'expired' on January 1st of this year. However, I tested it as of the 13th of this month and it was still working then.

When would you advise I start checking? And when does the mag usually get to people's houses?

[Enuf]

well there's several things to consider...
1-If you just want to pay $5 for a single mag you should start looking Mon-Weds next week.
2-Their "speed" at getting new issues out isn't the best this a major problem with the subs for some.
2A-I would highly suggest getting the $15 sub since you get this months on the spot & the next one should get to you by April. The $15 should be factored into the current deals but generally you can make the $15 back in 1-2 issues & this is the type of issue that will pay off like that. The perks of being "Unlocked" continue to increase & at this point the main advantages that GS has on BB is the # of used titles they have & their pre-order/reserve system.

I've been a @gamer subscriber since launch & have made $ on the game I've purchased more than 10x the $15 that I spent. Plus since I was an early adopter I got a 2nd yr(2012) free. Sell unwanted coupons for $2-$3 during months where you don't have any interest & the $15 never becomes an issue anyway.
Hope that helps bottom line get the sub

Awesome. Thanks

[SpartenOmega117]

yay i can finally take advantage of these deals. Do you guys think the $15 ff13-2 coupon can work on the limited edition. for example pm gamestop for $60 offer then use the coupon to get the limited edition for $45

edit: read op so disregard what i said earlier. ill try to pick up mass effect 2 for $5

[Psychonik]

I'd get enough deals out of this alone to pay for the 14.99 sub! only problem is I don't live near a bestbuy:(

[shurija]

Looking out for Final Fantasy 13-2. Surprised there's a coupon for it.
