Brick & Mortar Deal/Sale of the Year 2009

[Awcrap]

I didn't take advtantage of BB's B2G1 deal, so Best Buy $10 Clearance Sale gets my vote. I walked away happy with that one.

 

[io]

One of those deals was great (Target $10 coupons) while most were merely OK (B2G1, RZ deals - free, yes, but crappy , $10 clearance at BB, and that Walmart thing). But one was head and shoulders better than nearly anything I've seen in my 5 years on CAG - the HWV $4.99 used game sale. I realize the greatness of this was somewhat limited to certain locations/times, but for me it was one of the top deals ever.

None, B&M just suck most of the time.

 

[doughazelwood]

BB $10 clearance.

 

[Chitown021]

I will have to go with the Best Buy clearance.

 

[maxflight]

Target $10 off coupons

 

[DAWG26]

Walmart gift card deals

 

[Boss]

I like that they are linked .

 

[NegativeZero]

I placed my vote but am disappointed by the lack of the TRU Batman AA DAY ONE $30 gift card

 

[Corvin]

No love for all the gift cards TRU gave out this year for pre-orders and day one purchases? That would have gotten my vote.

hollywood video FTW

I think Toys R Us should have been a nominee again this year. I bought like 27 games during their B2G1 sale, which this year also included accessories.

 

[scum1]

The Target 10 dollar off coupon rocked on clearance games

 

[Kandal]

hollywood VIDEO!!! $5 games!! I wish all retailer will follow this step.

Walmart Consoles w/$50 or $100 Gift Cards

 

[Ultra Woody]

Wal-Mart - bought my XBOX 360 Arcade console from them!

 

[arthurfaarter]

Wal Mart - best console deals($50 and $100 gift cards) in the last two years

 

[SuperDuperMan]

Walmart console w/ $50 or $100 gift cards

Just a thought out loud: The Walmart Arcade + $100 gift card should mention the fact that Amazon matched the deal (which I took advantage of). That deal working for anyone with net access made adding another 360 to the household an impulse purchase.


Edit: Of course I just re-read the part where this is a 'brick & mortar' sale. Oh well, I guess WalMart caused the $100 card, so they can keep my vote. Amazon just got my money!

 

[sippycupz]

Walmart console + gift cards, but I didn't participate in any of the said deals.

 

[utstick]

I liked the $10 Target coupon myself. Any game, no restrictions.

 

[Zincdust]

The best deal I personally got this year was the Rock Band PSP bundle at Wal-Mart for $139.

Barring that, I voted for Hollywood Video's $5 games. I got some good ones with that sale!

 

[MaxBiaggi3]

Best Buy gives you money back for buying just about anything they have. That's a win-win.

 

[ImLuhkee]

Walmart Consoles with 100$ gc. I didn't get to take advantage of it but I so wish I could have such an awesome deal.

 

[StarvinLou]

I didn't hit up the sales this year so much, but i did snag all the Lego games for the wife on PS3 when Best Buy did a buy 2 get 1 deal

 

[WatTsu]

Yay Target.

 

[ampatrao]

Walmart killed BB on this.

Hollywood, while i didnt get in on it (none around me) it seemed like you could really build a backlog.

 

[ddotdukes]

The walmart gift card deal was a beast

 

[Blade]

I liked the Walmart $100 GC sale. That's why I finally bought a 360.

 

[super_dawn]

...hwv $5... oh so many games bought I don't even have time to play them all.

i second that....this award is like asking which one of my kids is my favorites?

 

[Pojomofo]

Best Buy B2G1 was great

 

[Killbomb]

Best Buy's B2G1 shouldn't stand out over TRU's version a week earlier. People exploiting a glitch shouldn't earn it deal of the year. Anyway, Hollywood gets my vote.

 

[Jim Beam]

best buy $10 sale was awesome

 

[johnnyrocker360]

walmart deal for sure. that arcade with the $100 gc was such a great deal.

 

[Diad]

Hollywood, the local was actually a nice find.

 

[calmdude95]

Best buy B2G1 free sale was good to me

 

[skkorpp]

Best Buy RZ $10 off and Metroid Trilogy for $20 (60% off) selling at $70 on ebay/amazon now.

 

[akmgmer]

Best Buy reward zone is awesome.

 

[Dahk]

HWV was very good to me this past year

 

[bringerofdeath]
