The fine print on the coupons specifically say "Markdowns taken from sale prices" in two separate spots. Just tell them to read that part out loud. Don't forget to burn them on the survey with 1's, that's inexcusable.

Those are the magic words I needed to know. THANK YOU!

So Target has the price cut on remember me was wondering if the coupon would work with it. 9.90 out the door is my price point

Hate to break it to you, but it won't work. Coupon will send it right back to reg. price. You'll need an manager override.

Picked this up a while back; my BBY had a 50% off rack and it was $29.99. It's a solid game and I was pleasantly surprised. A nice unique title that tries to do something a little different.

 
OK, I'm dumb and everyone can call me so after it's pointed out to me how simple this is but I cannot figure out how to access the magazine or coupons on the PC.  I go to the site and it tells me to go to my RZ account but I can't find anywhere on there to access it from.

I usually get an email each month, the email has your code inside it, you goto the magazine site and enter that code.

Hrrm, haven't gotten one of those yet and following the customer service link in the one e-mail I did get says it's going to start on 10/01. Nice old fashioned print ideas when digital is the only option.

Well if anyone has an unused coupon or code for the N11 headset and/or Transformers Prime they wouldn't mind sharing with me I would be very appreciative.

 
Yeah I haven't gotten one of those emails either. I would like a Transformers Prime coupon for Wii U if anyone isn't using it. I actually plan on playing it also, not flipping it.

Yeah, I suddenly decided I'm buying the Windwaker bundle and want to capitalize on some of these sales.

Yeah, I figured I could use it with my Wii U whenever I decide to get one so I can play my free copy of Tank Tank Tank!

I'd love to share my impressions, but unfortunately my visit to the store did not end well.

Which means it's time for another... Horrifying Retail Tale!

So, at the store, cust. service managed to PM Newegg for a copy of Colonial Marines which I then traded in (though it took about a century and a half because they put in my address wrong). Feeling pretty good getting my $25 credit, got a headset and my coupon, heading to checkout expecting a pain-free purchase (as the worst is over) and then out the door after being in the store so long.

The kid at the register scans the item, I tell him I have a coupon for $20 off. He scans it, looks at the screen, and then studies every single word on the back of my coupon.

Tells me that the coupon says it cannot be combined with other coupons or offers.

I tell him that coupons are supposed to stack with sales prices according to their policy, because I pay $15/year for the subscription, and that I have done this multiple times in the past without incident.

The kid just stares at me and gives me a "I don't care" look. Usually, at this point, an employee will go get their manager, because they still wanna make the sale/be helpful, but this kid did jack-shit but stand there. So, I'm forced to be an asshole and ask him to see his manager/talk to someone higher-up (because it's obvious to me the kid has no fucking clue). He quickly brings over a lady in the vicinity who scrutinizes the screen and the coupon, lost in thought for a while.

Ultimately, she concurs with the cashier with that same line of "cannot be combined with other offers". I'm trying my hardest not to be frustrated, thinking the computer's just being a pain in the ass until out of the corner of my eye, I see that it does in fact ring up as $9.99. Meaning that the computer okay'd it, but this manager (who was rather nasty) was denying it at her discretion. I ask her about this, and she admits it's not a computer denial, but doesn't say it's her personal decision, and proceeds to walk away. Of course the guy who PM'd Colonial Marines for me is next to her the whole time. The same guy who actually went to talk to Newegg Support because he thought that the $9.99 item on the website was a strategy guide and not the game.

Absolutely embarrassed. Does anyone have any solutions so I can avoid this next time?

Happened with me once.

This is what you do: Call Corporate, tell them you want to file a complaint against a manager. You should get a gift card out of it. Make sure to look at the manager and employee's name tags, and get the store number online.

 
Not like I need another headphones/set, but have any of you tried those N11's, yet? Hesitant to waste the $5 credit I could get them for. Dirt cheap, yes, but not if there as super-low as YouTube and Best Buy's site says.

To add to this, I am unsure if they still do physical coupons but when I got them the back clearly stated it worked on sale prices. I just checked the digital coupons and the very first thing the coupon states is *Markdown taken from sale prices*. So their reason for denial is clearly in violation of the coupon terms themselves.

 
So I can price match and use the coupon? If so I am going to best buy, price matching the xp400 to 165 from b&h and then getting 40 off, so 125 for 210 headsets are nice

can the N11's be that bad for 10 bucks? I have never purchased a gaming headset so my expectations are relatively low I suppose.

They're not all that bad, just a bit low. I think that's a game pad limitation though. I've used them for a couple of hours now, and they're not the most comfortable headphones I've used, but for $10 it works. You might be better off spending $50 on the Tritton Kunai though.

I was so surprised at the experience (as I've never had problems stacking coupons with sales, probably because the cashiers generally don't give a shit except for this asshole) so it really didn't cross my mind at the time. By the end of it though, I was so humiliated that I felt like they were going to shove me out of the store if I pressed further. In addition, this is my local BBY that I go to rather often, and as the staff isn't all that big, I didn't think causing a stink would be worth the future grief I'd endure. The customer service dept. had just finished being pretty nice to me about PMing and immediately trading said game in, as well. If this shit happens again though, you can bet that I will.

Yeah, phoenixlau had told me that on the previous page. Those are apparently the magic words that I was unaware of because I never had a reason to use them before. I mean hell, I got Tank Tank Tank! for free without the cashier batting an eye!

Depends what you use them for. I'm gonna agree with kitsunisan and say the low sound is probably due to the Gamepad, so factor that out of the equation if you're using them for the Wii U. I'm personally going to get them for the 3DSXL (since the internal speakers are shit), and will post my impressions on how they work for the handheld as promised (since pretty much every review focuses on how it works for Wii U). If you ARE getting them for the Wii U, I've heard the mic quality is definitely good, at least.

I'm confused... are you guys who are getting the N11 for the 3DS XL doing it just for the mic?
Click to expand...
No, getting it for everything but the mic (since a mic is built-in to the 3DS), but I plan on testing the mic/headphones and posting the results here. The headphones are more important because the XLs internal speakers suck, and no review of the headset online mentions how well it operates with a 3DS as opposed to a Wii U.

So, I just realized that I haven't gotten an email with my @gamer magazine for the last few months. Are you able to access the coupons through the app? Or do you need that email? What about instore?

I'm sure part of my issue is hotmail deleting my email, but this whole system seems a bit stupid. Shouldn't they be able to tell at the pos that I paid for this service? Bleh BB.

I'm also interested in getting the N11 for my handheld, so any feedback is much appreciated. This will be my first Turtle Beach product.

Grabbed one for mine, haven't had a chance to try it yet though. Figure I've got 45 days to return if they suck and I can handle $10 not in my account for a while if that ends up being the case.

 
I picked up the n11s.  I don't know why all the reviews I saw were so negative, again I don't have experience with high end gaming headsets so these may be awful compared to those but I think they sound good for what they are.  Sounds even better considering they are $10, especially comparing to like a skullcandy inkd set for $15.  And I have a splitter cable so now I have a comfortable PC headset as well.  So for those on the fence like I was I think they are definitely worth 10 as long as your not expecting a high end turtle beach head set.  I don't know about $50, plastic does seem a little flimsy, but mic is good quality and the sound is good too.  The treble and mids are sharp but the bass is weak compared to the higher end.  I tried it briefly with 3ds and just the sound that plays when you are on the home screen and press on animal crossing, it seemed like the sounds came from all different directions which was awesome and sounded very crisp.  And as far as it being low volume, I don't like blowing out my head phones because I want to be able to hear when I have grandchildren as I am only 24 now.  Anyways hope this helps.

 
If anyone has an extra N11 headset I would appreciate it if I can get it because I threw out the magazine before realizing it was in there. I could compensate with Club Nintendo Codes if necessary.

Thanks, I might look into getting these for $10 since I don't have any headphones for my 3DS.

Thanks for beating me to it and doing a better job on top of that. :) My impressions will probably echo this, going to pick the headset up this afternoon. Glad to see there's a bunch of people in the same boat as me (wanting something good to replace the internal speakers).

 
Thanks for the review. Just picked up the n11s. What kind of splitter do I need to use this as a gaming headset on PC?
 
For those of us that just upgraded to Gamers Club Unlocked this month, when should we expect to get coupons? Not the welcome package, but the ones that come every month.

 
Anyone want a N11 coupon, PM me. All this talk was tempting me but I really don't need a 6th headset just cause it's cheap.

EDIT: Gone

I don't know about the digital mag but they already shipped my last physical...should receive it next week.

When I was calling about the welcome coupon fiasco earlier this week the @gamer prerecorded greeting said that it may take up to 3 weeks for your renewal to be completely processed, so I'd say at the end of the month or next month at the latest. I'm sure that you could call them up and get an email issue sent if it's getting near the end of the month and you still haven't got yours.

As far as when the coupon emails come each month: no idea.

 
Hey, If anyone is willing to part with their Transformers Prime WiiU cupons, I will glady accepct them via PM . MY son would love this game and my subscription lapsed last month. No real way to renew "easily" and get these coupons before they expire. :(

 
Grabbed my N11 tonight, smooth as butter.  $50-20 sale-20 coupon-5 RZ cert-5 preorder cancel+tax = $0.35 total out the door.  I had a total Big Lebowski moment though...there was only a quarter and two pennies in my pocket so I had to use my fucking debit card for thirty-five cents.  At least I wasn't in my bath robe.

My BB still has a gaming counter but it seems like all of the good employees left/don't care anymore...it took two managers and three Geek Squad specialists almost twenty minutes to figure out that there is a specific way to cancel game preorders (F2 F2 "Cancel Preorder" apparently).  Total clusterfuck for a $5 refund but whatever.

If you go to the customer service link in the @gamer email you got/will get it will tell you. I signed up at the start of the month and it says mine's going to start 10/1.
