***You DO NOT have to be "UNLOCKED"($15 PAID MEMBERSHIP) to use the coupons & it's NOT tied to your RZ account just buy the mag and use the coupons***

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)
icon8.gif
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)
:joystick: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.
:nottalking: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.

MAGAZINE DETAILS

Mag Prices - $5 single issue, $15 year sub of 10 issues not 12(2 months of coupons overlaps)
$15 also covers BB unlocked bonuses(10% off used + 10% extra trade-in)

SUBSCRIBING - (In-Store vs Online)
In-Store - You get the current months mag for FREE JUST HAVE THEM SCAN IT when you bring the subscription receipt($15) from the gaming pre-order kiosk. Keep this receipt in the event you don't get the next months mag & a gaming rep MAY allow you to use a store copy until you start getting yours in the mail. It's usually 6-8 weeks BEFORE you should start receiving your 1st issue.

Online - You pay the $15 subscription price just as you do in-store but you don't get the free instant copy(EVEN IF YOU GO IN-STORE AFTER DOING IT ONLINE) & it's usually 4-6 weeks BEFORE you should start receiving your 1st issue.

Last years deal was announced early June so about a month from now soit would makes sense that this would be the time that they could announce a new one.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=296567

Obviously, there still needs to be MAJOR improvements in the pre-order process along with better means of getting the $100 RZ in a timely manner. But with no Kmart deals this would once again be the king fall deal for games. The current $10/$20 credit have seen there issues too so I'm sure that'll weigh on people's mind but BB still has time to get their act together. But if you interested or would be if they resolved the pre-order/DLC/credit issuing problems(or other problems that I'm missing) I'd say post here regarding a new deal
http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Reward...100-preorder-promo-this-year/m-p/514188#M6156

or here where not only are 5 for $100 deals mention but 5 for $80 on PSvita titles/3DS's to along with getting the older GC deals that were lost back

the BB stores in Connecticut around me don't sell used games, so I have been SOL lately with these coupons. was hoping dead souls would get a price drop to stack. and this month looks no better.
 
Went to a BB closing store. Last day is today. Used the GCU coupons and picked up NCAA Football 12 for $7.99 and the 8GB 360 USB for $3.99.

Thats cool you got the usb! They were oos before the coupons came out by me. I am happy with the headset though. I finally have a mic! :)
 
If $40 bucks is MSRP on AC:R, I'll probably just wait until the end of the month and see if it comes down for a sale. Wouldn't mind paying the 20 bucks after coupon, but it doesn't hurt to wait.

It's been low as $10 if you did the trade 2 promo. It'll probably hit $20 MSRP soon enough.

I'm stunned that there isnt a Madden trade-in promo somewhere.
 
We may have another mag to look out for in the near future. Walmart of all places has a gamercenter mag(which is free) but doesn't have coupons yet. If they join in with coupon deals along with the TRU mag we could be seeing a change that'll make alot more backlogs full.

I actually grabbed one of those this morning
 
I had a change of address so I didn't get this months issue. So I just went to Best Buy to buy this months issue, and without even asking I get both issues (Red and Yellow cover) for free. If there is one thing better than free shit its free shit without asking for it :)

Oh hell yes. thank you very much. i already played through this when i bought it from walmart at launch for $35 and traded it to amazon for the same price. i plan on re-buying and finishing up any side missions i may have missed.

This game, like brotherhood was fantastic. i never got into ass 2 because i hated going back to my home base for more money, but brotherhood and revelations were fantastic (with the banking system). can't recommend this series (beginning with brotherhood) enough.

If you missed brotherhood, you can still get the ce at best buy for $30 and the da vinci dlc is on sale for $4.89 or $6 on psn this week. alternatively, you can buy the complete digital edition on psn for $14. I don't know why the brotherhood ce is $30 at best buy though, since I bought it last year for $25
 
[quote name='RipD']Why? Sale starts on Sunday.[/QUOTE]

Buy game ($60) + Magazine ($5) = $65 tomorrow.

Go back to best buy on Saturday to...

Return/refund ($60 back), rebuy the game at the sale price ($30) + use the coupon (-$20) = $10

Its just to make sure they don't run out of stock before Saturday.

That happened when they had FFXIII-2 for $15 with the coupon, when I got there on the sale day, there were no PS3 versions left, but I did the smart thing and bought it a few days before.
 
Oh I see now, that's actually a good plan. I thought I was saving you from disappointment, but it seems you have got it all figured out. I've yet to run into stock problems at these El Paso BBs so that hadn't occurred to me :bouncy:

I'm still a CAG in training.

If it isn't too far of drive, I reccomend buying it early. Never know when they might run into stock problems. And if you don't already have the mag, it might be sold out by Saturday. Just a suggestion.

Good luck on your adventure.
 
if i buy this AC:R for 10$ (after coupon) and buy another game for 30$ ..... can i use my Gamer's Unlocked coupon (buy two get 1 free) for a game worth 30$?....
 
Bought this a few weeks back when it was 20. Got one with AC1 on it. Another trip isnt worth it to grab another for $10 unless I can get a classmate to grab me one with my coupon. Another great coupon tho.

Whats the status on the digital coupons? I got the Gamer app on my phone. Would make things alot easier if I could use a coupon online.

I bought my AC:R on 04/03 when it was on sale for $20. Since I'm RZ Silver I have 60 days for returns/price match. It's still sealed so I think I'll go return & rebuy during the sale. Almost didn't buy it the first time. Should have listened to my gut

Just semantics, but MSRP is only $39.99 so it'll cost you even less out of pocket on your initial purchase...

Coupons won't stack on their own. This is prob going to require override, which makes it a YMMV.

60 day PM/return window for Silver members doesn't start until middle of next month. When that kicks in BB credit will be more valuable to me than even AMZ credit for gaming.
