    Wii Points Cards

    See this thread and try Walmart: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=167768 If that doesn't work, then you could use one of the 10% off coupons for Gamestop - maybe not the best deal, but not bad if you want the card now

    Need help picking the best Sega Genesis, CD and 32x games.

    There's only one game you need: Toejam & Earl (the first one, not the second one). A year or 2 before the Wii and the virtual console were released, I bought a used Sega Genesis just so I could have this game. I think I paid $15 for the console and a pile of crap games, and then I paid $30 on...

    Select Video Games Half Price at Best Buy (very YMMV), incl Halo 3 Legendary

    I agree with most of this - the Watertown BB is pretty sloppy. But I was at this location 2 weekends ago and they had a 50% off clearance table next to the front door. They had Battalion Wars 2 for Wii, COD4 for 360, 360 wireless Halo controllers, Mario Kart Double Dash, and various other...

    Good Component Selector

    I got one at Gamestop for $20. I like that it has component, composite, and s-video inputs so I can hook up older systems, too. I've had no problems - the quality seems fine. Here's what it looks like: http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product_id=801888

    Progressive Scan ?

    To display progressive scan, your Gamecube needs the digital-out port on the back of the console, and you need the Gamecube component cable (the Wii component cable will not work). After you connect with the component cables, it doesn't automatically display in progressive scan - you need to...

    EB/GS Weekly AD 10/26-11/1 - Buy Used GC Sys. get Used GC Game Free

    Thanks OP! I snagged a black GC in great condition, and the GS employee was actually very helpful in finding a unit with digital out! My Wii is in the living room, and this new GC is going in my bedroom. I either already own or don't want the $35+ games, so I took MGS: Twin Snakes (listed at...

    Massachusetts' Cheap Ass Gamers Topic!

    Today I discovered that as a belated grand opening sale, the Medford Gamestop is doing a buy 2 get 1 free used game sale, valid on all used games for all systems. The clerk wasn't sure how long the sale would go for, but thought it would be until the 16th. He said the sale isn't going on at...

    best deal on wii points card?

    I've been looking, but I can't find Wii points cards at any Best Buys. At one, I was there while an employee was restocking the shelves with wiimotes, nunchucks, and classic controllers. Unfortuntely, no points cards. I've used the printable gamepro coupons for other items at BestBuy, and...

    best deal on wii points card?

    OK, so the best deal I can find right now for the Wii 2000 points card is at BestBuy: $20 - $5 printable GamePro coupon = $15 + tax (and I'd get a few RewardZone points, too). It seems like there should be a way to use Google Checkout to get a better deal online, but I can't find one! Most...

    lookingfor a wii

    If you didn't already find one, try Circuit City on Sunday 4/22. I think they will be handing out vouchers one hour prior to the store opening - I'd get there at least 2 hours before opening. For updates, see http://forums.slickdeals.net/forumdisplay.php?sduid=0&f=36 and...

    Looking for cheap Wavebird controllers.

    Wavebirds are getting hard to find anywhere, even at list price. Target, Walmart, and buy.com have good prices, but in my experience are always out of stock. I think the GGC at BestBuy may be your best option if you can't find them used. I've heard that Nintendo stopped producing these...

I went to the EB Games in the Burlington Mall in Massachusetts, if anyone is interested - they didn't even question the coupon.:D I don't know if other locations are still...
