Hey Guys,
I walked into Best Buy today to buy some things and they had written on a computer paper next to the PS3's that you can choose to either get an extra controller, Heavenly Sword, or Lair free with purchase of the 60 GB model! I almost picked one up. Plus, if you are a reward zone member (free to join) you get $10 back in reward zone points ($500, every $250 you spend you get $5 reward zone certificate).
Good Luck and Happy Shopping!

It's actually company-wide. It was in today's Retail Insider for BBY employees, and has it's own Promo code. Since the 80 GB is going to $500, and the new 40 GB will be out soon for $399, they're looking to offload some of the exsisting 60 GB, cause why buy a 60GB when the 80GB is the same price? There will be no price cut for the 60, so the incentive of conroller, Lair, or Hevenly Sword makes sense.

Ugh...I'd really consider it for Motorstorm, Warhawk, or a choice of something decent, but Heavenly Sword is a rental, Lair sucks, and I would rather wait and buy a Dual Shock 3. Oh well...
BTW, I know I can get the 80GB bundle with Motorstorm for the same price but I'd prefer full BC if possible.

Holy shit. What's BB's policy on you getting these deals and price drop refunds after a certain period of time since you bought it? Is it only a month?
20 days for price drops/changes... not positive about the free stuff part.
But I think they should offer TWO of the free items instead of just one. I mean if I can buy the 80gb for the same price and get MS for free whats the deal on getting one game or a DS for free? Now 2 gmaes... or one game and one DS *that* would be a great deal.

Wait, is this taking place right now!!??
If it is, I need to go pick one up. 5 free Blue Ray movies, 1 free game, and a free controller has finally convinced me.
Where is everybody getting this free game AND controller? They posted this deal on PS3fanboy (gave CAG credit) and said the same thing about the controller and game.

Guys, this is real. I just did an exchange on my PS3 I bought a month ago and got Lair out of the deal.
GTZ_NSR, they didn't hear of it either at, but they checked the Retail Insider for today (as mentioned earlier in the thread), and saw it in there. Once they saw that, they gave me the deal.

Worked in Trotwood, Ohio. Sales associate didn't know about the deal and upon telling him where it was listed, got what seemed like very suspicious about how we knew, asked if we worked at one, seemed(/pretended?) to not know what Retail Insider was, etc. Said he'd go check, but he hadn't heard about it.
After checking, he walked back and was suddenly quite nicer-- he'd checked and found what we were talking about and was printing out the papers to hang up for it as we spoke. I guess he though we were trying to pull something? :P
We were quite tempted by the wal-mart deal but weren't about to pay $15 for shipping just so we could get motostorm instead (the only game we have interest in at the moment), rather we chose to pick up a copy used at EB.
We'd been planning on picking one up soon anyway, just because we don't want to mess around with missing out on EE, so the second controller just sweetened the deal enough for us to go for it. Plus $10 in BB vouchers.

Confirmed at BB Westwood, CA. At first the CSR had no clue what I was talking about (in fact she insisted there was no pricedrop on the 80gb) but I was insistent and she checked the Insider-- it's on the front page-- new price for 80GB PS3 and new bundle for 60GB PS3. She misread it to be HS, Lair, AND a controller but it does ring up as your choice of ONE: Wireless controller, Heavenly Sword, OR Lair.
There is a promotion code and everything in the Insider but it is ringing up at the registers once they total it up as a package deal.

It is very clearly written in the Insider it's controller OR one game (choices being Heavenly Sword or Lair). Not controller+game. I would assume the deal will probably appear online in a day or two... just not many of the reps have read the insider so skimming it they might be misunderstanding.
(it's written as blah blah "when purchasing the system, they have the choice of one of the following:
* Extra SixAxis Wireless controller
* Heavenly Sword
* Lair"
-- so a rep may skim over "choice of one" and just see the list and assume it's all. It also includes a link to a promo flyer to print and display but I didn't see that.)
