GTA: San Andreas $29.99 after mail in rebate & free shipping @ fye.com

I have $50+ store credit +$10 off coupon on my last reciept and now a $20 MIR?! That's worth mutilating the case for. It's not like you'll ever have trouble getting another case cheap in a few years anyway.

No Need to Cut off the UPC to get $20 Rebate

When you Unseal the shrink wrap makesure slowly Pull off the "White sticker w/ name & UPC" on top of the game case then place it on mail in Rebate form.

I got all my rebate that way :)

Also, I did on Disney buy 3 get 1 free and most of DVD's rebate that way too ;)
 
[quote name='Strider Turbulence']Cool. That's worth trying at least. Wish I would have known this before cutting up my Star Wars Trilogy box on Friday.[/quote]

Damn!

I asked them when I bought my Star Wars Trilogy set if I'd have to butcher the box, and they said I should just be able to send in the UPC from the plastic wrap, which I did, and it works fine.

My SWT did not have a UPC on the plastic wrap. Some stores do not have them.
 
Hmm i have this game preordered from outpost.com for $35 w freeshipping, but I have a crapload of fye credit and after tax the price would be about equal. I have a delimma, if anyone gets anyword on wether this will be instore pm me
 
Good deal, but just a warning, my rebates for Fight Night 2004, MLB Baseball 2004, and the Simpons Series purchased from a Fye affialiate have been processing for 3 months now. You will get the money eventually, hopefully but who knows when. So if you need the money then dont buy this.
 
I JUST got my $30 rebate on MVP Baseball yesterday; my $10 rebate on Simpsons Season 4 came about 2 weeks ago. FYE gives themselves 3 months to get the check in the mail - expect to wait the full 3 months.

On the plus side, they did respond quickly (and accurately) to my follow-up questions over email.
 
Nice! I'd be paying $50 anyways for it, so I'll take $20 back 3 months later! I'll order this later tonight.

Also, what's the free shipping? How many days?

I've gotten about 10 rebates from FYE without cutting boxes on various movies/games. For one of them, a GBA SP, they actually initially denied me but I called the rebate center and told them a FYE clerk said it was ok to use the sticker/upc. They validated the rebate then and I got it. Cutting out is blasphemy!
 
[quote name='Squirms']Too bad you have to send in the original UPC to get the rebate.[/quote]

if anyone wants to purchace a upc code off me for $20 please PM me.

exactly, its just a game
 
Whoa I just noticed on the rebate sheet it has two boxes to check off. One for GTA Combo Pack and the other for GTA SA.

Does this mean that you have to buy both to get the rebate?

Afterall it's titled $20 Grand Theft Auto Rebate * With the purchase of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.

no
 
I think I had my fill of GTA when GTA III came out on the PS2. I tried to play Vice City and I found it to be boring. I really have no desire to play San Andreas. Am I the only one that has had my fill of GTA. With Halo on the horizon, this seems like a waste of money to me.

I will give GTA III its props that it was a revolutionary title, but that was several years ago. Been there / Done that

I kinda agree . . . I loved GTA III . . . it totally blew me away.

I was basically disappointed by Vice City but still enjoyed the wide open city environments . . . controlling the big army helicopter was great.

When San Andreas came into focus I had no interest . . . LA and Hip hop . . . but I've kinda warmed up to it since . . .

To me these are less games and more entertainment experiences . . . the soundtrack and humor . . . kinda like watching an interactive movie with game play elements.
 
[quote name='alfonsosoriano']Well if it isn't up on the site, I'm not going to risk it.[/quote]

the form is valid so long as its ordered by nov 7th

You know that the insert comes out right, so technically you don't cut the case...unless you like that look.
 
ill trade off with anyone on this site. my perfect gta:sa insert for $10 and your cut upc one...

comeooooon you know its a deal XoD
 
I hate rebates. How many times have you sent in a rebate and never receive the check. I bet you it more than 50%. Why can't they just give you the discount right away. They lie and say they never received your rebate information. I highly believe that. I will never do rebates again. There too much of a hassle

every rebate ive ever done ive gotten. but keep up with the false generalizations
 
Seconded as above - I've never done a rebate deal that I didn't get my check back on as promised. Ever.
 
Is this deal good in-store? The rebate form online says you need an "fye.com order confirmation and packing slip" but I'm wondering if they have a separate rebate form for in-store. If so, I will cancel my internet order and get it in-store so I don't have to wait for the game to be shipped. Who knows how long their free shipping will take. I can't wait for this game!
 
Of the 6 mail in rebates I sent in for Comp USA deals in the last 3 years, I got back 4. That's a 1/3 failure rate. Definitely enough for me to not count on them anymore. I'll still buy stuff with a mail-in rebate, but only if I'm willing to buy it at the price before rebates. If I get the money back, it's just a bonus.

Uhh has anyone had their GTA shipped yet? Its been like a week already... Also I just noticed that it says "Valid rebate period from 10/24/04-11/07/04. I bought it on 10/20/04 so does that mean i'm not eligible? And why is it that it says "9/01/03-11/07/04" I smell gip. I think i'm going to cancel it
