[stewie75]

well, the joke's on Gamestop, cuz I'll just buy all 32.

 

[chuckywang]

1 in 32? You think the Lions have just a good a chance to win the Super Bowl as the Patriots?

 

[Jauron]

lol that has got to be the worst contest ever.

When I use to work at Best Buy those PS2/NFL controllers would never sell. This is a good way to help push those items.

 

[DrumsVocalsKeys]

Wow. This. Is. Terrible.

 

[blissskr]

Not if you live in New England lol just kidding this deal blows.

 

[bvharris]

As a Patriots fan this might be tempting if I had any interest in this piece of garbage. So I'm speculating $15 on the chance that this worthless piece of junk might end up costing me $5 instead? Win.

No, a good way to push these controllers would to be either make them better than 1st party controllers (not happening) or lower the price, not provide conditional savings.

 

[jumpercable]

It's not a 1 in 32 chance, everyone knows that the Texans are going to win the superbowl

duh.

 

[Evuldave]

Think about it from the point of view of someone who likes one of the teams. They buy a faceplate they may have bought anyway, and if their teams wins they get $10. Seems reasonable.

I lol'd. :lol:

 

[AA_Punk]

I've got my money on the Lions!

 

[no_exit]

With all the new used game competition from Amazom, Gaelle, Best Buy and Wal-Mart, one would think that GameStop would be a little more aggressive in trying to secure it's place as the #1 used game retialed.

I realize they can't have great offers every day but this one is just another step in the wrong direction.

LOLERCAUST! thx for the friday funny

 

[kart007k]

what is wrong with them?

 

[hypertails02]

Only $10 off? That's it? We would have to wait a half of a year for a 1/32 chance to get $10 off?

Holy Batman!

And you have to pay $14.99+(tax/shipping/whatever applies) for the chance to begin with.
