Coupons DO STACK with the 10% discount on USED games for GCU($15 PAID MEMBERSHIP)

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" in the link provided below 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.

The Oct. mag cost $5 for a single issue or it's free with $15 Gamers club Unlocked(GCU) subscription. Mag has to been scanned in the same transaction with the subscription barcode from the GCU subscription booklet(found in-store behind the trade in counter) or printout from gaming kiosk.

[quote name='KryllFood']You can almost be guaranteed that they will definitely drop it to 20 towards the middle / end of the month. I'd also put a hefty bet that they'll drop Sleeping Dogs back to 39.99 or possibly even 29.99 so the 15 off makes it 15 or 25.

I'd pick it up immediately if it dropped to $15 AC. I kind of wonder if they are easing off on crazy coupon deals for the next three months due to the rush for Black Friday and holiday shopping when normal people don't care about prices and just throw money at anything.[/QUOTE]

People need to quit guaranteeing price drops because they almost never happen.

Actually this makes a good amount of sense. Think about, Riptide is coming out soon if im correct. Why else would they make a coupon for the first game? To get rid of copies they currently have so all the focus is on dead island 1.5.

It has already dropped once to $20 before this coupon so I doubt it will go any lower.

Yes I know it went down to $20 last month, and it will happen again.

Since you can predict the future, can you tell me the next 20 years worth of Superbowl winners?
 
I went in today to trade in a few games and got to talking with the Gamer Specialist regarding my not being GCU even though I should be.

Over the course of the conversation we got to talking about how there is "technically" two issues for this month.

-COD exclusive that says Fall 2012
-Assassin's Creed III that says October 2012

He said they got the COD issue in this past Sunday and are going to be putting out the AC3 issue this coming Sunday.

He asked if I had received an issue yet for this month and I told him no and I thought it would have arrived by now. He told me to take the COD issue today and if no AC3 issue arrives by next week to come in and he will give me that issue as well because they've been having a lot of complaints regarding the subscription issues from new/old subscribers.

Good experience....and I hope my mag shows up because I want that used game coupon.

2 wins for the texans, 6 for the eagles, 3 for the pats, 1 for falcons, 1 for dolphins, 2 for the ravens, 3 for the packers, and 2 surprisingly for the raiders. There you go :D

Holy shit, the Cowboys are going to go winless for another 20 years. Thats a 36 year drought... FML

they get close in 2018 but lose to the packers in the nfc championship game.
 
[quote name='roundhouse']6 superbowls for the eagles, that's funny right there.[/QUOTE]
To me the funniest thing is that people actually follow sports so damned close and pay so much money to watch overpaid jocks catch, dribble, shoot or hit a fuckin' ball.:roll:

But if it's what people enjoy, then so be it, but I'm glad we switched to the $50 a month Comcast lineup which has ZERO sports channels anymore. Of course, they also nuked FX(Archer) and SyFy(or however it's spelled now). Not that I watch that much tv anymore anyway.
[quote name='jmbreci']Anyone even get the magazine yet?[/QUOTE]
No. Then again, my GCU was due for renewal as of today and I only renewed on Monday. So chances are I've got another 7-8 weeks before I start getting my mags again since I waited so long to renew.:whistle2:#

They have plenty of Dead Island GOTYs, as well as those pre-order steelbooks for Riptide. Wouldn't shock me at all to drop to $10 after coupon by the end of the month.
 
[quote name='JP73']Anybody get their mag yet? i usually have mine by now, but nothing yet[/QUOTE]
Don't have mine yet either. I just renewed my sub in September, I'm curious to know if it will just contine on or if it'll be a 6-8 week wait like it is with new subscribers.

That's weird, my Best Buy had Dead Island for 19.99 yesterday. Is it cheaper in store or something? Looks like I'll be getting it for $10 Sunday.

I'll be all over Sleeping Dogs if I can get it for under $30. I'd say there is a very real possibility of that happening.

Especially if you get it on PC, it 20 something on Amazon :)
 
Where do they get mailed from? Maybe it's a geographical thing. Maybe I get min tomorrow. Usually I get it the Monday or Tuesday before the new coupons start.
 
[quote name='ooga']GOTY? Could be vanilla.[/QUOTE]

Nope, definitely GOTY. Then again, the tab could have been for vanilla but the only version they had for sale was the GOTY edition, I didn't think to check at the time. I'll find out for sure Sunday, I'll post if it is for the GOTY.
 
I renewed in Sep. I haven't received my issue yet, but niether has my husband. They normally come in together, so I will update when his gets here if there is a delay with the renewals.
 
Have to say these are some very disappointing coupons. The $20 pre-order promotion is the last worthwhile one left of gamer unlocked. I would have loved the $15 off PSN+ but of course they moved the few worthwhile coupons into a new magazine (not included). It is funny since no one even reads the magazine, you basically pay for coupons and the RZGU benefits, so $10 for a magazine that just has a couple coupons in it is crazy.
 
Haven't gotten the new mag in the mail, but I did get something better. Went to renew my unlocked that expires in the middle of the month, and the guy gave me both the new magazine and the special COD issue. The normal one scanned as past of the unlocked subscription and he manually discounted the COD to 0.

Actually I do read the magazine, albeit maybe only once, but still I DO read it.

As for the other coupons in the COD magazine, there isn't anything in that that would really interest me, since PS+ would have to be discounted MORE than just $15 off to make it worthwhile for me.
 
I fin it funny how their review states how the angry birds game is not even nearly worth it for the price, which goes against what they are trying to get at on the coupon for it lol! I would buy it for no more than $10. They should have just made it an arcade game :p

Wasn't there a time few sellers was selling them for cheap on eBay after E3? I wasn't interested so I forgot the price, was it more than $15 off?

I'm not gonna try and justify the $40 price tag, but it is nice being able to enjoy the games as a family on the big screen. We have enjoyed the purchase at $40 but I am a CAG so I will be adjusting the price when I get the coupon.

It was $20 off. It was right after E3 and he had about 200, so everyone speculated he took them from E3. That the one?

But that's spending cash on eBay and spending cash on someone who likely got the mf'ers free from E3 by grabbing handfuls of them. No thanks. :booty:
 
My magazine arrived today.

I was looking forward to this issue for the coupons alone.

That $10 off used $29.99 will be used for sure.

Might even pick up an additional mag for an extra coupon.

I saw this in the store today and could have sworn it had a shelf tag of $29.99, or $20 with the upcoming coupon.

edit: Nevermind, I was thinking of the Journey Collection.

What do you plan on using that $10 off for? I still have mine from last months coupons... Or were you trying to be sarcastic?

I could easily use the same coupon at GameStop because the turn around time from a person selling a game and it showing up on the shelves is minimal. And yes, while this system has some flaws (qa resting on the consumer for 1), one benefit is that newer titles show up "pre-owned" faster at GS than BB.

All month I watched BB website to see if a Madden 13 or Darksiders or other $29&up was available but nope. I'd just assume rather see a $5 off $20. Best Buy just doesn't have the used inventory yet.

Side note, still didn't receive this months magazine yet.
 
Quick question, I just recently subscribed to @Gamer so I don't know how it works. Lets say for example Sleeping Dogs has a $15 off coupon for the month, how often does say Sleeping Dogs go on sale during the month it has a coupon?

Or are the games with coupons usually about the same price during that month?

In all honesty I intended to use it to buy WWE'12 with it but the price has dropped to $24.99 now.

Nascar 2011 is $34.99 so might grab that with it.

I really wished I had noticed that coupon was in Septembers issue....I was in the store the other day trading in stuff to get store credit and prices hadnt adjusted yet then.

Dammit.
 
Just received mine in the mail today as well. Now it's a waiting game for some sale prices on Sleeping Dogs and Dead Island GOTY.

In my experience most of the games with coupons go on sale at some point, but I don't think anyone knows when they'll be on sale, so it's worth waiting.

Same here. Normally get it the week prior. Hopefully it wasn't because I renewed. I renewed prior to it expiring.

Yep, that's the one. Just wanted to get a general feel of the "discounted" price of PS+. I too won't never give these people the satisfaction.
