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" below in the links in the BLUE section 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.

Beware that if you want to play Resistance 3 online, it does have a $10 online pass so factor that in while looking at the pre-owned price. In my opinion, this was the most broken online shooter I have ever played. After a player gains some killstreaks, they are able to get this shield that makes them invulnerable. The only way to kill them is to shoot them in the back before they notice you. I'm all for rewarding players for performing good, but having the equivalent of a World of Warcraft Paladin shield in a FPS is just stupid.

I hope The Darkness 2 ends up being $20 or less after combining the coupon with a sale, otherwise I can wait. Thanks for the post, OP.

[ayob]

wow. looks like ill finally be picking up sin and punishment 2

if your store carried tons of USED games the 10 off 30 is nice i think the last 3 months then had either a 10 off 30 or 10 off 20 coupon... Pays for the mag right there...

wasnt metroid m 4.99 at xmas same with DIVER and Pilot wings .

[sainrub]

I hope The Darkness 2 or Dead Souls ends up being $20 or less after combining the coupon with a sale

Yup.

[Denebswift]

Didn't they just make R3 multiplayer a free standalone product? Or was that Killzone 3?
Also, how is Other M $30? It was a $5 clearance online game for months.
Overall I think this is a pretty poor month compared to recent coupons.

Homefront reviewed really poorly, and yakuza is a pretty niche market.

May grab R3 though - never played any of them.

[doodmandood]

Wish every month's magazine was like last months.

Sooo many good cheap games.

Could be wrong.....but I'm pretty sure Yakuza is not available for the 360.

[FatherChesz]

Dead Souls is definitely PS3 only.

[mightymek]

If I don't get it on trade or something before, I think I might use the $10 off coupon to pick up Metal Gear Solid HD to play over my summer break between semesters (now if only work would give me a summer break, too!)

[Enuf]

it is I just copied +pasted the info & linked the correct stuff. It will be some time until the OP is fully updated since alot of games aren't fully in the system so I gotta get a mod from BB to give me the sku's that way I can post them for all.

[FadeToOne]

Man, after last month I was hoping for better... I think we all were.

I only noticed because I would've jumped for joy if it was haha.

[Dwarfman]

This. Although if Yakuza gets a sale or a price drop during the coupon period I will most likely give it a shot. If Homefront will end up being <$2 I can't help but throw it in my backlog.

[INCyr]

Damn, nothing for me this month.

[CheapAssHustla]

Lol, right. That would be nice. How would you pay for your cheap games?

[DerClaw]

wow homefront for almost nothing

I paid 38 cents for it at microcenter with the 15/15 coupon a couple weeks ago and even that seemed a little much

I actually really enjoyed Homefront. It doesn't play as well as a call of duty, but the atmosphere and intro were pretty shocking, which set up the game well. Its short, the characters are forgettable, and the story kind of goes down hill as the game goes on. But the depressive and war-torn setting was very well done. I'd highly recommend it at $10 if you like shooters.

[JP73]

I'm in the clear, absolutely nothing for me.

[AukeySeven]

Best line in homefront was after you set a bunch of Koreans on fire... "I thought I smelled Korean BBQ"

Great game, short and sweet.

[shadowkast]

Exactly my thoughts. The whole story is about trying to get a gas truck. Then the last level you have to blow up gas trucks that block the way of your has truck?!?!

[rey6eric]

If Darkness II goes on sale for $30 like FF 13-2, I'd gladly pay $20 for it. Unfortunately that's the only coupon that interests me.

[Dark Rider]

So wait?
Homefront would come out to about $1.19 before tax? That's a pretty good deal. I will definitely pick up one.

Homefront
$17.99
-10% ($1.79)
$16.19
-$15 off coupon
$1.19

[Stryffe2004]

I also enjoyed Homefront. Not sure why it was bashed so m uch. I didn't run though it, so it didn't feel short. The multiplayer is a lot of fun as well. Not sure if there is still a community.

Yakuza: Dead Souls has been $44.99 on Amazon for a while, so check there before grabbing it from Best Buy.

[advanced]

Looks like I won't be jumping on anything unless they get sales to stack with. Even then, its mostly for flips, so I'll probably not do it at all.

[groundskeeper]

Keeping an eye on Dead Souls and Darkness II for me if they have a sale. Otherwise both these games are still cheaper at Amazon.

The OP says $15 Homefront, not $15 off Homefront.

[The_cheapest_Daddy]

I'll probably pick up Darkness II, if there's a sale drop.

[DerClaw]

I don't know why we can't just get scans of the front of the coupons so we don't have to mess with translation of the coupons (since the barcode is on the back, I don't see what that would hurt) -- then we can see what it says -- especially for that Other M/Sin & Punishment one (I'd like to see if it is like that HP one from a couple months ago where you are supposed to buy both).
