Question to those who say it's still 29.99 at their Targets... are you basing that on the sticker price or what it's ringing up?
I went to a Target in Wichita today and the sign still said 29.99, but I was there for the 17.99 deal so I asked them to scan and price check. he looked at me like I was a jackass just trying to make him work harder, and even pointed to the sticker price, but I insisted he scan it. It rang up at 17.99 and I snagged one.
So, it may just be that the effective price hasn't been posted in your stores.
By the way, thanks for posting this deal. I was looking for a deal on this game hardcore last week and the best I found was the 19.99 outpost.com deal + shipping. This was much better, and a great addition to my library. It's one of the greatest stories ever told in a video game.
