GTA V for me!

[KrayzieKMF]

Wow, Best Buy isn't messing around. Hopefully this gets some competition going.

[iRandom]

GTA V for me!

likewise

[litepink]

Wow, thought we'd have to wait until Summer/Holiday 2013 for the next promos. In for GTA V and possibly more.

[Saix_XIII]

In for The Last of Us and Dead Space 3. I have God of War Ascension, MGS Revegenance, and BioShock Infinite pre-ordered and paid off with amazon credit, but if I didn't I would get them from Best Buy.

We have known about this for a few days already but I was waiting for someone at corporate to confirm its true. More info will come later since they want to focus on marketing the current 2012 promo.

[HarajukuJynx]

Sign me up for Grand Theft Auto V and The Last of Us.

[SleepDebt]

Last of Us for me. I'm preordering GTAV for the pc.

[Dark Lord Greg]

GTA V and Gear of War Judgement for me

[chicagocubsfan]

Ehh. Already have most w/ the $48 deal at Newegg which I see as a better deal. Have MGS for $45 @ Newegg and I'm getting the GOW CE from Amazon. Might get GTA 5 though.

[247]

can't wait for gta v.

[mightymek]

Awesome! I was planning on using my last two RZ coupons from this current deal (from COD and Far Cry) to get Splinter Cell Blacklist anyway...now this new deal just makes me even happier.

[j.t]

Is this confirm? If yes, in for at least 6. With the 60 day price match window and the fact that I got still got BB credit.

[MoCiWe]

Well I'm getting a lot of games at Best Buy next year lol

[Metal Militia]

In for Gears of War, GTA:V, and Metal Gear.

[PhilsUtley26]

http://www.bestbuy.c...=1312731&loc=01

[HakurenKyo06]

Getting everyone of those except South Park.

[nightmare452]

In for Splinter Cell for sure. Most likely would get Tomb Raider, Dead Space 3 and MGS. Have very little interest on GTAV honestly, been hating open world crime games the last years or so.

[doubledown]

Bioshock, Last of Us, GTA V....also, Dead Island Riptide is on their website. I think I want that also.

[Sharkey1337]

Hell yeah! Dead Space 3 and GTA5 right off the bat, might have to pick up South Park on release with the $20 being thrown in. Might have to get Metal Gear Rising and Tomb Raider as well. LOVING BEST BUY!

[htz]

Bioshock, Last of Us, GTA V....also, Dead Island Riptide is on their website. I think I want that also.

Yeah I missed dead island riptide earlier, thanks. I can't edit the poll though.

Also if you pre-order GTA V right now in-store, you will get a FREE Poster.

[StryderOmega]

I am totally in for Gears of War Judgement and Deadspace 3 (Prolly wait for collector's announcement however.)

[Gamer4life88]

I'm planning on getting 8 games off that list but that most likely will change lol Damn I love Best Buy. Oh, and nice job on the OP htz.

[cancerman1120]

Ehh. Already have most w/ the $48 deal at Newegg which I see as a better deal. Have MGS for $45 @ Newegg and I'm getting the GOW CE from Amazon. Might get GTA 5 though.

I would like to see your math on that. I can guarantee it is not a better deal...especially the more games you buy.

[Jimmienoman]

This amazes me....

Hmm would I rather have a game for $48 flat

OR

Would I rather pay $60, effectively get a $20 GC. Then have 30 days to PM it to any other B&M store around in which most games AT least hit $50 and many hit $40.

So basically choosing

A) the game for $48

B) the game for $50 max and a $20 GC

How in the world is A better?

Just thought of 1 way it could be better. If you live in boonesville with no store within 25 miles of you then you are right, newegg could be better if you aren't going to purchase anything from BBY again.

The problem is not all games hit $50. IE NBA 2K13.

[Gamer4life88]

You gotta factor in tax as well for some. Newegg is tax free for a lot of peeps.

[cancerman1120]

The problem is not all games hit $50. IE NBA 2K13.

Even so it is not a better deal. Now that it takes 2 weeks to get your Cert you can use them on games. Here is an example buying 6 games with no price match.

Game 1 $60 + tax (for me (5%) that makes them $63). $20 Cert
Game 2 $40 + tax ($42) + $20 Cert
Game 3 $40 + tax ($42) + $20 Cert
Game 4 $63 + tax ($63) + $20 Cert
Game 5 $63 + tax ($63) + $20 Cert
Game 6 $5 + tax ($5.25) + $25 in certs left

=$278 + $25 Cert

Vs

6 games x $48 = 288

Now every game you get to PM makes it even cheaper. ACIII already gets a $10 PM this week. It is not blowing it out of the water but it is a better deal and can only get better. The NewEgg deal is set in stone.

[panda911]

Good on BBY for continuing their incredible promo. And this is only for the first 5 months of games. Potentially another set of games can be done for the fall, including the next gen games
