What are the dates on that guide? I haven't been in the store since Friday.

That explains it. The bundles on that might be floating until Black Friday.
360 seasonal bundles are $300 MSRP, available constantly throughout the holidays for $250 on "sale," and available pretty regularly for $250 with a $50 retailer gift card. Straight $200 is the BF price. So you got a flier with the de facto retail price listed, and on Black Friday it'll be cheaper as a one day deal.
Totally normal.

i miss funcoland before i learned of flipping and i played games moreSeriously, the bundled games come in sleeves? That'sing terrible. What is this, Funcoland?
Unless they offer it at that price themselves, the only place that PM's on Black Friday is Walmart.
Killzone will be the first thing you mentioned that will sell out at local stores due to low supply. That might be something you have to order online.
Pretty much my plan, too. Gonna need something to screw around with on my PS4, PS+ and FF14 could provide that.just gonna buy PS3 version of Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn for $20 so I will get the PS4 version for free
will also pick up Tales of Xillia for $20 and 2 PS+ cards

No, it's worse. I'll take paper sleeves over
ing cardboard any day.I don't care what the fatheaded cheapskates in Hollywood say, aside from wrapping your discs in sandpaper there is nothing worse to store them in than cardboard, and blu-rays are FAR from scratch-proof. They'd be better off just buying some notebook paper and wrapping the discs in that.
It's gotten to the point where I flat out refuse to buy ANYTHING where the discs are shoved in cardboard, irregardless of price. It's more an issue with movies than games, but I'm sick of being asked to pay obscene amounts of money for collections where they can't even be bothered to spend the extra $0.10 a unit to properly encase discs in plastic. Many times I've purchased blu ray collections that, straight out of the packaging, are scratched beyond functionality. Examples include the Die Hard collection, Aliens Quadrilogy, and the Indiana Jones Collection (Indiana Jones was a
ing nightmare unlike any I've had before, I had to return the ing shit 3! times before I finally got a set where the original 3 films worked, and STILL ended up with a scratched up Crystal Skulls + Bonus features disc!)So yeah... the moral of this rant is that, if these games are really just being shoved into cardboard, don't count on them functioning, it's a gamble at best. Maybe with only 1 or 2 discs vs the 6 or so each of my collections had the odds of all discs working will be more in your favor, but then again consoles are much harder to return and this is a rather pricey bundle that I still wouldn't risk it unless you are completely confident you can get a return. And if you do buys these anyways, for the love of god, spend the extra $10 to buy a small pack of blu-ray cases to keep them in. Even if they come out the cardboard in working condition the 1st time, the second the tiniest speck of dust or dirt gets into that sleeve you can kiss the disc goodbye.

No offense, but why bother waiting?
I've forgotten about this only because TRU and Josh has cranked or some good deals the past 2 weeks. And if you wanted any of their preorder deals, then you probably did better than a straight up B2G1.
But then again I'm also assuming nothing went wrong with any of the TRU transactions... Just my thought on waiting around for someone to come through with that deal.

Isn't it usually only 7 days from purchase? This one is in effect until the end of the year.

In the PlayStation deals thread, Breakfuss mentioned that the AmazonDeals person said Amazon will be matching the $30 PS+.

I was able to find a ToX LE the other day and with the extended holiday return period would I be able to return and rebuy on Black Friday?

So I went in to cancel my BF4 pre-order and the employee there did his darnedest to try and convince me that all the sales in the entire Black Friday have been canceled.

Don't blame him. Blame GS corporate for all the pressure they put on workers about upsell numbers.So I went in to cancel my BF4 pre-order and the employee there did his darnedest to try and convince me that all the sales in the entire Black Friday have been canceled.

I understand that corporate pushes ridiculous quotas on their employees and it does suck for employees but to straight-up tell a BS lie to your customers is even worse than corporate demanding absurd sales numbers. Imagine if I was a stereotypical "less knowledgeable" customer and come Black Friday I found out that this employee lied to me. You'd best believe I would do everything in my power to make sure this guy was fired. His lie bought him one more point to his quota but corporate now has an excuse to fire him.
Now keep in my mind I know better and don't blame them but the fact remains that this lie should have never been made. Something like "those sales are subject to change" would have been much more appropriate.

Exactly. A good salesperson doesn't have to manufacture lies to sell something. He could've tried selling the guy on something else or recommending another game instead of doing that. Just because he has pressure and quotas doesn't mean he gets to lie. I don't understand why people are letting this guy off so easy. It's a damn shame that sales people do this sort of thing. It just shows you have to be a savvy consumer, otherwise you're going to get ripped off left and right. Stay informed and don't trust these morons.

I remember when an employee at Gamestop wouldn't stop bugging me about pre-ordering "GTA V" despite the fact that I told him that I pre-ordered it at Best Buy already. He then went on about how he worked at Best Buy and they don't hold pre-orders there and how he felt "bad for me" because I was going to miss out on the game. Kind of a stupid lie considering they hold pre-orders longer than Gamestop and had an excellent pre-order deal to boot in comparison.
I do wonder if some managers try to tell their employees to engage in this type of behavior, because some stores are more persistant and lie more than others.

This is definitely true in some stores. I can't speak for gamestop specifically, but when I worked in retail we definitely had managers who encouraged us to lie to customers about their options and what we had in stock.

Give him a bad survey, the problem will get fixed.So I went in to cancel my BF4 pre-order and the employee there did his darnedest to try and convince me that all the sales in the entire Black Friday have been canceled.
It is now! Can't link it since it won't allow me but it's in Nintendo's YouTube page. Comes out November 22 and no mention of it being GameStop exclusive.

I know but there was some rumors that it might of been, as well as some posters here worried about it too. In any case this is good news since I'd rather pre-order it from Best Buy or if there's any luck with the recent ordeal with Amazon selling 3DS' again from there instead.

Going by every other year that the DS/3DS had a LE holiday bundle, they'll have it. Along with Toysrus, Wal-Mart, and, obviously, GameStop.
I would be careful of ordering from Target.com; they are about as bad as the come at fulfilling LE items
