BB Corp response to getting GoW triple pack for FREE not $9.99
http://www.forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Reward-Zone-Gamer-s-Club/Gamer-Coupons-question/td-p/307388/page/2

FYI:For those not able to find TDU2 in stock...if your a RZ silver member give the sku to a BB personal shopper & let them track down a copy for you IT'S FREE.

****The coupons stack w/SALES PRICES****
****Price Matching DOES NOT STACK w/@gamer coupons****
****Even my VERY VERY generous local BB's will say no 1 or the other****

So when a $60 game like Dungeon Siege goes on sale for $40 stacking the coupon makes the final price $25. I'll update the OP as sales change & the title will reflect the lowest price AFTER COUPON has been taken off.

$10 off Test Drive Unlimited 2($20 after coupon)
$15 off Dungeon Siege III($45 after coupon)
$5 off ANY Stategy guide
$15 off Resistance/Resistance 2 double pack($25 after coupon)
$15 off Xbox live Gold 12 month starter kit($60 after coupon)
$30 off turtle beach headset DX11(On sale for $110, $80 after coupon)
$20 off Gears of War Triple pack when you ALSO pre-order($5) Gears of War III(this stacks with the $100 RZ offer)Total purchase should be $5 + tax after coupon
$10 off Sims 3 Generations[PC]($30 after coupon)

If the X41 is one of the headsets that the coupon works on, that might just be worth it if I can PM another store and still use the coupon.
 
[quote name='Enuf']did you buy it on release & get the $10 gc too? You can do a pm worst case scenario return/rebuy or rebuy w/coupon show the receipt with the $45 price & get the difference back.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, got it with the GC. I hadnt opened it yet so i guess ill try whenever the mag comes out.

Also, ill be sure to check before i buy the magazine

Ok, well I didn't bite on it even with the gc just b/c I can see this game being $35-$40 quick & by if they only credit you back the difference minus the $10 gc value not so good for the $45. Better of returning the game + gc & buy it with the coupon. But if the game goes on sale for $35-$40 then minus the $15 coupon $20-$25 for the game is a great deal.
 
Guess ill just return it then, still have the GC. Only brought it because i had a ton of BB Credit and heard the couch co-op was pretty good.
 
Does it actually say on the coupon the price it will be with coupon (i.e. - $44.99 after coupon) or does it say $15 off? It makes a big difference!!!

$15 off the prices aren't ever listed on the coupons just the amount off.
 
Thanks Enuf. You are da man!!! Great post. I just wish they had something for Infamous 2 or 50% trade in credit boost or something. Maybe next time.
 
[quote name='GoVols']Thanks Enuf. You are da man!!! Great post. I just wish they had something for Infamous 2 or 50% trade in credit boost or something. Maybe next time.[/QUOTE]the used game stuff will ramp up towards sept. they have limited time to adjust on the fly from month to month. I don't think they had any idea how big of a deal is would be once the coupons were allowed to stack but once they see the amount a mags + subs that were sold this month(keep in mind there's only 2.3 million RZ customers) they should see the difference made between on the overstock of the previous months mags. Won't be too long till we see "sponsored" coupons included in the mag tied in with their new RZ paid program that will net much better day 1 savings then just $10 on a $60 game but it'll be easier to justify the larger savings considering people pre-paid to join the program, the companies themselves are paying for space in the mag, the mag is not free & once you have the ability to stack discounts, sales, coupons, RZ points & gamers club most people will see this as the only place to purchase games in the future. One of there reps said point blank BB wants to be "the only place" which was a direct shot at GS & Amazon in response to their names being mentioned. If they can get most people to look at the RZ points as a "true value" they win but I factor in the the pm so I still end up with the same $40 price but all the pre-order stuff & points make the games "value out" @ $30 or less.

Won't be surprised if the gamers grab bag becomes a perm program offer 3-4 times a yr while expanded to more than 5 games too. If they can lock people in to 5-15 games a yr that'll cover most casual gamers & the "hardcore" gamers will just stack the 10+ game offers accordingly.
 
well once again no Ds coupons talk about an outright lie saying there would be at least one handheld coupon per issue.. guess im going to be selling mine or giving them away
 
yeah i got the $5 off dungeon siege 3 coupon in oxm also @ bestbuy. that would be great if it stacked with the $15 off, but it says not to be used with sale prices or other coupons. fingers crossed tho.
im hoping that the price will go down to at least 50 by the time these coupons expire.
 
$15 off Resistance/Resistance 2 double pack off is a pretty nice deal. Anybody who isn't using theirs, please let me know!
 
[quote name='Yanksfan']Damn, nothing of interest for me this month.[/QUOTE]I agree somewhat since I already have TDU2 & only want dungeon Siege III but once sales start to happen things can change very quickly. Would your interest change with on of these scenarios? B/C mine will.
Say Dungeon Siege goes on sale for $40 once you subtract the coupon it's $25, at that price a game people may pass on might become a "give it a shot" during a slow release period.
Resistance double pack could be a great deal if it's on sale for $30 minus the coupon for someone who never played them & has interest in R3.
There's also the potential flips(not for everyone but it will happen).
The GoW3 deal is already $40 off when conbined with the $100 RZ offer but it's too far out to know what the gc deal and/or pre-order will/could be. I'm gonna take the risk b/c I know I can get $70 cash for the games that'll do me no good since I won't have a 360. But I'll have the RZ points/gamers club points.
The turtlebeach coupon all depends on which one it is but $30 off generally indicates a higher priced model.
Overall, what and see approach but Dungeon Siege III is the game I see most people get the best deal from.
 
Well by Double Pack I hope you mean the Triple Pack which retails for $29.99. I’m not aware of a double pack for Gears. So Enuf, if that $20 off coupon is right do you think this would work.

I went to BB yesterday and noticed on the gaming kiosk that they still had deal for pre-order Gears3 and save $5 off the @Gamer subscription.

So if I per order Gears 3, then have them scan the subscription it should ring up $9.99, then have them scan the new issue of the mag. That should ring up free as if you buy a subscription and the current issue, that issue will be free. (I have confirmed this before) Then have then scan the triple pack and then the $20 coupon out of the mag. So my total should be $24.98 for the new issue, subscription, Gears3 pre-order, and Gears Triple Pack. That’s a great deal and it still doesn’t include any extra stuff they may add to the Gears 3 pre-order later.
 
Dungeon Siege III for $45 isn't a bad price this soon after release, but I wasn't thrilled with the demo (pretty dull for a hack/slash). Does is get any more interesting?

I'd prefer all the trilogies coming out to have a $100 SE triple pack at launch that way people late to the party can jump right in.
They may have to do a manual override but your logic seems sound.

If all rung together you're looking at
Gears 3 preorder - $5
1yr @gamer sub - $10
current issue of @gamer mag - $0
Gears triple pack - $10 (after coupon is scanned)

So yeah you're looking at about $25 before tax. I will make sure and confirm this when the mag is on the shelves this Sunday but there's no reason all that shouldn't stack no prob.
 
I will scan the BB $5 OXM coupon for everyone tomorrow. Wish I had a copy of the mag, I have a killer high end scanner at work.
 
Same impression of the demo, wondering that myself.

Any word on how long it takes to get your first issue of @Gamer after subscribing? I know most magazines say 6 - 8 weeks for first issue. We subscribed in store last Tuesday but I didn't think to ask then.

I just beat the game (after about 12 hours). I did enjoy the game, but i'd say its not worth $45.

I liked the choices you could make and story, i thought i would like the simplified leveling system (you mainly get passive abilities), but i really didn't care for it that much. Combat is just okay, nothing spectacular, but not terrible.

I'm mostly interested for the local co-op, there is not much other than music games & shooters (not my thing) that I can play with my other half without buying a second copy and camping out in different rooms.

I'm assuming it does have local co op (same as online?) -- Basically whoever starts the game has the main character, and whoever joins in gets to choose from one of the other characters (three), and will be auto leveled to your current level (i think). The second character in the game will only be saved to the original persons game, so they can't continue on playing with it later on.
 
I picked up the mag for 2 years for $25. I already made that up in the first month buy the games when they went on sale and flipping them (Dragon Age 2, NFS Shift 2 and Ass Creed 3, MJ: Expierence) all for $15 a piece. Totally worth getting.
 
Hey everyone I scanned the $5 off dungeon siege coupon. Anyone that wants it PM me. Its a .PDF file, so for some reason photobucket wont let me upload it. I would be GLAD to email it to anyone here. just PM me, and make sure to send me your email address. I work until 5pm (EST) and I can email it up until that point.

Thanks! If I had the other BB coupon sheet, I would scan that too for everyone, but I dont.
 
[quote name='shurija']I want to try Dungeon Siege 3 so maybe this coupon stacking with a future sale can persuade me.[/QUOTE]

I would definitely recommend trying the demo first if you haven't. From what I gathered (and from others as well), it's a pretty standard dungeon crawl, nothing fancy. The co-op is fairly neutered, considering the second player doesn't keep loot or stats.

Yeah, after doing some research, the co-op aspect of the game is disappointing. I don't mind dungeon crawl but I'm definitely looking to get this for $20 or lower.
 
[quote name='dabamus']FYI, the turtle beach headset is for the best buy exclusive dx11 or whatever it is.[/QUOTE]

Just saw this in store headset is prices at $129.99, think I'm gonna pass this month.
 
Well on a positive note, they WOULD price match the Dungeon Siege 3 deal without any issue. But for some strange reason, the lady at the register had NO idea what she was doing, and in the end was trying to charge me 5$ even after ringing everything up. (Guess she was deducting the Gift Card or something)

Guess ill just try a different store later this week
 
When does the coupon for Dungeon Siege III expire? I'm definitely going to pick this up along with a subscription to @gamer.
 
[quote name='EndersGamer']When does the coupon for Dungeon Siege III expire? I'm definitely going to pick this up along with a subscription to @gamer.[/QUOTE]well, last issues which expire today(7/2) we valid 5/26-7/2 so I'd expect something similar so about a month. Be aware I think there's a b2g1 sale starting soon.

I usually clean up all the non AAA over priced titles by buying the ones I already know are on sale elsewhere to qualify for the b2g1 then pm the $60 down to $40 or less. It takes multiple transactions & the employee scanning them in the "right order so the ones you want to pm don't end up being the free one.
 
Picked up the new issue yesterday. All coupons are valid 6/30/11-08/27/11. And the last 2 coupons on OP are save $10 off The Sims 3: Generations (PC) and $5 off any strategy guide.
 
[quote name='specter316']Does it list which headphones it's good on, acidrain[/QUOTE]

The headphones are TB DX11 ($129.99 retail)
