Picked up GOW3 (was the free game), Brotherhood, and Killzone 3.

Imma attempt to buy Black Ops on both consoles and GOW Origins Collection in-stores. and see if I can use three coupons from BB's magazine.

>_>
 
@Gamer coupons won't stack with B2G1.

If you're buying to flip back to a store, you should look into 3DS games over the origin collection. Zelda, OoT, Mario Land 3D, Kart 7 pull in a few bucks more.
 
[quote name='earvcunanan']Got it to work.

Got Killzone 3, Dragon Age II (360), and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (360) with 10% off. Thanks OP.[/QUOTE]

nice - what was the total?

Damnit, those coupons are going to bug the shit out of me. D=

I actually wanted Origins personally.
Eventually going to play through GOW HD Collection, GOW3 and Origins.

Eventually...
 
[quote name='Vigilante']I wasn't interested in this at first, but after looking up the trade-in values...

I placed an in-store pickup order for MvC3 :)ps3:), AC:B :)360:), and KZ3, all at the same BBY (and paid entirely with a BBY GC)! If their values hold up, you can turn $19 into $45.40 (w/ GCU)! :D

Hopefully they'll be ready by the time I can swing by this afternoon. ;)[/QUOTE]

Except, the 1 in that photo is the Collector's Edition.
 
I ordered Killzone 3, God of War 3, and Marvel vs Capcom 3 for $17.96!
B2G1, and 10% stacked for me. Going to play all 3 of them for a week or so and then trade them back into BB for 60% bonus if the promo is truly until 6/2/2012.

Mario Land 3D is sold out online. Or does this deal work in store too?
 
Anyone have suggestions on good pre-owned games to pick up that's decently priced (none that have cheaper new sale prices lately)
Not for flip wise but gaming wise.

I probably won't get to it soon which Diablo 3 coming out but I like having a wide variety of games.

Last time I tried to get CS to stack the 10% GCU discount on my B2G1 free order they told me they couldn't. :(
Ugh, I need to call CS so BB can link my RZ account to my BB account.

First hint of a deal was in-store signage ;-)

You could pick your 3 games online right now. Select pick up in store option, or mix and match to have some shipped to home if your store does not have all 3 games. The B2G1 offer will still apply.:)
 
[quote name='ChunLiBarbie']Except, the 1 in that photo is the Collector's Edition.[/QUOTE]Not if you search the database at bestbuytradein.com (which isn't working as of this post)--when I searched "brotherhood", I got the standard editions (and only them--no collector's editions appeared) with the 360 version giving $10 in credit.

You could use the same argument if you were to search for Gears of War 3; there's only one result, but the cover image is that of the collector's/epic/not-standard edition.

EDIT: It works now--here's the page for AC:B :)360:).
 
Thanks OP made an order for KZ3 and ACB for 360 and PS3 with store pickup. GCU discount applied as well so good luck to others who are having troubles ordering online. Was 19.xx after tax.
 
[quote name='whitereflection']God of War 3 and Killzone 3 are sold out on their site. That was quick.[/QUOTE]

for shipping? cause yeah.
Still can do pick-ups though
 
Wow, I'm such a little shit.
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood for both consoles, plus MvsC, and Disney Universe (for 7.99)
cause I needed my order to be over $25.

Applied promo code I got from Prototype 2 Steelbooks mishap and now I only pay 3.20..which I paid with GC anyways.
 
I can't recall, but do they email 'your order is ready for pick up' before the store opens? Wondering if I'll get a message within the next 30 minutes.
 
[quote name='fmwross2']The conversation I'm having with myself:
"I want to grab cheap games, but I know I won't play them... and I have spent/will spend way too much on Blu-Rays during their U&S promo."
"But you need them. Maybe you can flip one of them making two of them super cheap?"
"The only one isn't available at my store to get in time for Gamestop's 50% bump."
"What about Amazon?"
"I don't know what kind of condition I'm going to get them in."
"But you can use PayPal... and you have a balance."
"PayPal, you say...?"

So I grabbed God of War III, MvC3, and Brotherhood all for PS3 (and Disney Universe in the same order).[/QUOTE]

lol. i admire you honesty. and sadly i have had that conversation with myself entirely too many times.

You won't. No one's in the store to pull the items and put them in the cage. They'll probably do it in the hour before they open while getting the store ready for the day.
 
[quote name='ChunLiBarbie']I can't recall, but do they email 'your order is ready for pick up' before the store opens? Wondering if I'll get a message within the next 30 minutes.[/QUOTE]

I think you have to wait until the employee sets your order aside for you and inputs it into the computer before you get the email.
 
[quote name='ChunLiBarbie']I can't recall, but do they email 'your order is ready for pick up' before the store opens? Wondering if I'll get a message within the next 30 minutes.[/QUOTE]

You'll get it when the morning crew gathers overnight orders. You'll get it before opening.
 
Ah. Ok. Thanks ya'll! As many times as I was there for those insane $4.99 deals last Winter, I should've known the answer!
 
How long does it usually take to do a store pickup transaction? Trying to figure out if I should pop in before work, or if I need to section off a larger timeframe to deal with employees not being able to find my stuff.

Great price on Brotherhood, Killzone 3, and God of War 3.

[/QUOTE]It takes as long as an employee to physically go get your game, set it aside and complete the order on their end
 
Thank you OP I was able to pick up ACB for both ps3 and 360 plus a disney universe and then ace combat 6. I just bought AC6 last week for $17 so I will be able to return it and get my $17 back. Total out of pocket is a little over $7 for 4 games after using a $10 RZC
 
I was planning on buying 3 copies of killzone and the register kept showing the regular price of $24.99 instead of the sale price of $9.99, but the buy 2 get 1 free was applying. Has anyone experienced something like this before?
 
I've been waiting for AC:Brotherhood to reach this price, but I just can't pull the trigger right now, since it's been out for so long. Other deals are pretty decent though, glad to see Best Buy with more deals again.

Did you show the cashier the sale price online?

So you waited for a game to reach a certain price and when it reached it, you now don't want to buy it because the game reached a certain age?

....okay....
 
[quote name='Namerson']Did you show the cashier the sale price online?[/QUOTE]

I actually did, he then proceeded to call his manager which said I could only chose between getting them for $9.99 or the buy 2 get 1 free, but I could not get both since it was considered to be double dipping.

Stop hoarding them. LOL
 
[quote name='cheapbrokegamer']Stop hoarding them. LOL[/QUOTE]

But But there's a TIV of $12! And that doesn't even count the kind of money I'll make with the 60% bonus!

But you will kill a kitten in the process. LOL, I want to do it too, but you should know you can get banned if you trade too many. I think it is over 3. And last time I tried two of the same games, they said they can only take one of the same title. May vary

Sorry I forgot to put the /s for sarcasm.

They were not for flips. I wanted a personal copy since I traded mine a long time ago when I got the helghast edition and the other 2 were for my friends since we were planning on playing online.

You buy them games/get them deals? Wow. Need another friend?

Friends don't let friends buy games at full price.
 
[quote name='ijustw1n']You buy them games/get them deals? Wow. Need another friend?[/QUOTE]

I let them know about the deals and pick the games up for them when they can't make it. plus its a lot cheaper to buy all 3 together and then just split the cost evenly since all 3 of us wanted the game.

Can I be your best friend? All my friends are brokeasses or cheapasses

Haha, I didn't pay attention who posted. I actually thought it was the same person. :applause:
 
[quote name='ijustw1n']Your gas cost/time must be infinite. If I had a friend who would do that, I think I'd use them regularly.[/QUOTE]

You must be one of those people who does not have anything better to do than to start a conflict over the internet. I am not gonna argue with you since you do not know the situation or know anything about my friendship. The whole reason why I posted my comment is to let people know there might be a problem when buying some of the sale prices in store along with the current preowned promotion since BB is known to have weird glitches on their system.
 
I've never ordered pre-owned games from BB before. I know DLC codes are probably not included but what about manual and overall quality of the discs?
