What? I'm just being brutally honest. I couldn't stand any of those games and I really couldn't stand Fallout 3 due to the text based yippity yap. I always was choosing the 'bad' thing to say just to piss off the other characters.:D

Of course, it was also that I couldn't see 90% of the game enviro on my SDtv I had at the time I had the original.:roll:
 
[quote name='autopiloton']"Rest of the world likes"? People can have opinions, you know.[/QUOTE]

Yes. And the opinion of the rest of the world is that his opinion is incorrect. LOL

If he'd said he never liked Star Wars, that's one thing. But saying there were never any good SW stories is moronic. 3 bad prequels and a few other duds don't completely negate the first 3 groundbreaking films and the dozens (if not hundreds) of other great stories told via novels and other media (cartoons, etc).

It'd be the same thing if he said chocolate was "garbage" just because he personally doesn't like the taste. ;)

[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']Honestly, I couldn't stand KOTOR, Jade Empire or Beyond Good & Evil and people rave about those three games. Same deal with Dragon Age: Origins.[/QUOTE]

Same deal as above. I personally dislike FPS games. So I don't enjoy a lot of the "huge" games each year, like MW2. You can't tell me I'm wrong if I say, "I don't like playing MW2." But you could take exception if I said, "MW2 is a horrible game with no value." See the difference?

There's nothing wrong with disliking something that's popular. I just hate it when people dislike something because it's popular.

[quote name='prateeko']So at my BB they had a sign saying save $10 (gamers club) on a few titles including Infamous and White Knight Chronicles.

That brings Infamous down to $20. Same as the B2G1 deals...[/QUOTE]

They might have the signs up, though that ended on the 4/4. Granted also the coupons can't really be pulled up on RZGC site, so you might be S.O.L.

Unless IF you already have one of the old coupons and IF the sign doesn't have a valid date you COULD get inFamous for $20. YMMV of course.

[quote name='ksk']I am premier silver of bestbuy reward,
if i buy final fantasy xiii ps3 for 59.99

can anyone tell me the lowest price i can get from cashback and 150 points offer?
$52?[/QUOTE]

In the end your Premier Silver + Gamer Zone rewards add up to 9.17% of $59.99 which is $5.50. The 150 bonus points are equal to $3, so the total rewards = $8.50, meaning you are paying $51.49 + tax, in the long run.

[quote name='Zippon']LOL. It's fun to hate what the rest of the world likes!

Makes you cool! :cool:

Now tell us how unfunny and unoriginal Seinfeld was....[/QUOTE]

Actually Seinfeld is good. I wouldn't buy it, but it's worth Netflixing. The first episode I ever saw was the final episode, and I was like WTF????? But after watching some syndicated episodes now I get it. The Soup Nazi and the one where George is a hand model were great.

And just because George Lucas can't come up with an original idea to save his life doesn't mean that the writing, production, sfx, etc. is bad. The original trilogy is reasonably good overall, mainly because it glosses over many of the insignificant details that cause problems in the later products. But Episode 1 absolutely ruined the entire franchise. The acting was horrific. The virgin birth thing was equally as offensive as the religion he stole the idea from. The idea of midichlorians basically turns the wielding of the force into an infection, which if they can make perfect clones then surely they could artificially manipulate midichlorians and give everyone force powers that wanted them, not to mention augment their numbers to make your influence over the force stronger... I could go on for pages, but there are large segments of the SW universe that are broken and the more side stories Lucas writes, the more holes appear.

I've played it on my SDTV and I don't think that's a problem with the game being in SD. You probably just needed to turn the brightness up, haha.
 
I hope mass effect 2 is on sale for at least $49.99 when the $20 coupon goes into effect on the 19th of April. That way i can also use my $10 reward zone award so i can get $30 dollars of for ME2 and buy it for 20 bucks...

Anyone hoping for this?

I know i wont be playing it right away, as i haven't even played the 1st mass effect, and I know it wont go below $20 bucks for awhile.

Not sure how you figure that, but the real credit breakdown is as follows:

75 RZ points for buying the game (Silver members earn 1.25 points per dollar spent)
150 bonus RZ points
$60 worth of credit toward the $150 you need for an additional 500 RZ points from Gamer Zone.

Overall, you get 225 points which is 25 points or $25 short of a $5 certificate. Essentially, if you spend another $90 on games, you will get $15 in certificates back down the road. Long term, it is close to ten percent back as a result of the bonus points promo, but as of now, you are still paying $60 plus tax for the game.

Yes, I never said you were getting cash back on the purchase. The question I was answering is what the final result would be after all rewards come back in down the line.

Gaming purchases for Premier Silver members are worth exactly 9.166666667% of the purchase price once you add everything together. It's really quite basic math: For every $200 you spend, a Premier Silver member earns 250 pts which equals $5, which is exactly 2.5%. For gaming purchases, every $150 earns $10 back, which is exactly 6.666666667%. Add these together, and the complete total amount of rewards that a Premier Silver member receives on gaming purchases is exactly 9.17% of the purchase price.

Yes, you have to cash in these rewards later on down the road, and yes, you have to cash them in in increments of $5, but that does not change the fact that as you continue to make gaming purchases, you will continue to get -- in the end -- exactly 9.17% rebate back on every single one of those purchases.

Thus, using the numbers from your post, $5 = 250 pts, and 225/250 pts = $4.50. 150 gamer pts = $10, and 60/150 pts = $4.00. $4.50 + $4.00 = $8.50. And guess what, that's the exact same number as if you take $59.99 x 9.17% = $5.50 and add $3 for the fractional value of the 150 bonus points offer.

I agree with you up to the point that you are telling the guy he is only paying $52 plus tax for the game. That's just not accurate. He is paying $60 with the possibility that if he spends another $25, he will get $5 towards another purchase. He then needs to spend another $90 to get an additional $10 towards another purchase. If you buy every single game at Best Buy in a given year, I would agree with you that you can think of it as getting 9% or so back at some point, but it's not cash back, it's credit toward further purchases, so his game is still $60, it's just some game down the road that is $5 off and then $10 off and so on.

Another way of looking at this: Without RZ, I take $60 out of my wallet and walk away with a game. With RZ, I take $60 out of my wallet and walk away with a game and $8.50 in store credit. Yes, I can't spend that $8.50 until the next time I buy something, and only in designated increments, but it is store credit nonetheless. Even if they returned it to me as cash, I still wouldn't be spending it until some future purchase. Or if I placed that money in my piggy bank and refused to spend it until it was full. Now let's say they were to put that $8.50 directly into my bank account instead. My bank's ATM only allows me to withdraw in $10 increments, but that doesn't change the fact that I still have $8.50 in my account waiting to be spent in the future that I wouldn't have had otherwise. So, my buying power has been increased in either case by that much, regardless of whether the "change" is in the form of cash going back into my wallet, store credit, placed into my piggy bank, or cash into my bank account. Just because I physically removed $60 from my wallet does not mean that I "spent" $60. Some of it was simply transferred value into a different form of cash value.

BTW, this brings up another point: Anyone who buys games at Best Buy should never use their reward certificates on gaming purchases, because you do not earn either standard points OR gaming bonus points on the portion that is discounted. If you truly want to get the most out of your BB Rewards, you should always use RZ certs on non-gaming purchases and ring up games separately. I save mine for DVD box set sales or my weekly iTunes gift card purchase (I buy iTunes GCs because not only do I get reward points equal to a 2.5% discount, I also avoid paying sales tax which is equal to an extra 7%, saving me a total of 8.88% on all my iTunes purchases compared to just letting them charge my credit card at the time of purchase) :)

Sort of off topic (but it eventually goes on topic--sort of), but I managed to use $350 dollars in RZ certificates last Saturday to pick up an iPad...didn't even reserve it, walked in @ 10:30 or so and they still had some left...printed the certificates in store and picked up a 64gb.

If you're going to talk about RZ savings, especially if you live in a place with 10.25% sales tax like Chicago, you have to take into account the tax savings. When they take RZ certificates off the price they also base the final price on the discounted price. This means that you don't end up paying tax on the discounted part of the price...so with $350 in certificates, I managed to get an ADDITIONAL 38 dollars in savings since they didn't charge me tax on that $350....oh, and I got an iPad...so that was nice.
 
Thanks, didn't realize the tax-savings part about the RZ certs. But I only have a $15 RZ cert to redemm, and will probably use it on a video game. Some savings is better than no savings, I guess,
 
[quote name='GeorgeCostanza']Worst quote ever?[/QUOTE]

idk, of the four main characters Elaine was never funny, Jerry Seinfeld i find annoying (to some up jerry sienfeld i would have to use the joke "so whats the deal with airplane food" in his annoying over use of inflection talk), Kramer had some funny moments when talking to normal people and Newman but was generally sub-par.

All that said George Costanza was the only reason i watch almost every episode. His character was the funniest, Jason Alexander was the onlyone who didn't seem like they were acting, had funniest situations, and created the most tension in those classic (making a big deal out of something minuet) moments from Seinfeld. So thank you George Costanza.

Edit: ohhh and to the guy who didn't like Kotor and beyond good and evil. if you judge them on the qualities that they are considered great for, kotor for the expansive environment and funny dialogue, and Beyond good and Evil (one of my favorites) for being one of the most flushed out worlds in a game, and the great stealth incorporation make them great. It's like if you don't like prog rock, you wont like the band yes, but if you judge yes on the standard of prog rock they are amazing. you don't have to like them, but being able to understand while others like them is good.

i hope you enjoy Curb Your Enthus. then, since the character of George Castanza was based entirely off of Larry David and his interactions with Jerry. The reunion episode in last season was pretty good where they got all the characters together definitely interesting perspective of making shows too)...

It's possible we are saying the same thing in different ways, but I suspect you have bought into the myth that retailers want you to buy into about the value of store loyalty programs. My point is that the guy who asked is not getting the game for $52. He's getting it for $60 plus tax and at some point in the future when he spends a lot more money, he will get $15 in store credit which has no ability to be turned into anything else and cannot even be cashed in, but must be used as part of another purchase. If the only place you buy games at is Best Buy and you always spend several hundred dollars a year on games there, I suppose you can think of it as a "discount" on future purchases. Best Buy certs are not, however, a cash equivalent since they expire and even the underlying points expire and they can't be exchanged for anything but Best Buy merchandise which may or may not be cheaper than other retailers depending on the item you are buying.

He is a Premier Silver member, so obviously he spends a lot of money at BB. The very definition of any Rewards program automatically necessitates at least two purchases; even if you spend $10,000 at once, you're still going to have to make a second purchase in the future to which you can apply the value that is stored in your account. He already knows the limitations going in; what he wanted to know was the exact amount of the stored value he'd be earning based on this purchase, and that is the question I answered.

[quote name='J7.']Do you get regular gamer zone points when you buy something that gives you 500 gamer zone bonus points?[/QUOTE]

The 500 bonus points offers = $10 value, in other words, they are regular points, not "gamer" points. It sure would be nice to get 500 gamer points, that'd be over $30 worth :bouncy: but of course that's why they're not.
 
[quote name='J7.']Do you get regular gamer zone points when you buy something that gives you 500 gamer zone bonus points?[/QUOTE]

Yes, unfortunately, there is no such thing as Gamer Zone points. When you earn credit in Gamer Zone, all it tracks is the amount of money spent out of $150. When you hit $150, you get 500 RZ points which get put in your account 35+ days after the purchase.
 
I should've worded my question better. I bought an item that gave me 500 bonus points. It gave me those and it looks like it's going to give me regular RZ points for the purchase. But on the Gamer Zone part of the site it is not giving me anything for the purchase, meaning it did not add the money spent out of $150 to my tally. I had $101 in my Gamer Zone tally before the purchase and it's still at $101. So when you get bonus points do they not add the money you spent to your gamer zone tally?

It just takes a few extra days for the dollar credit to show up in the Gamer Zone tally after the purchase shows up as pending on your Reward Zone account. You should get the RZ points, as well as the dollar credits for Gamer Zone on any purchase other than ones made entirely with gift cards or RZ certs.
 
Just to tack on, I just dont get Seinfeld, or the people who love it. Most of the time when the laff track goes off, I'm sitting there with my head cocked to the side saying "Huh?" That being said, I can think of at least one really funny moment: "I WAS IN THE POOL!"

Yet another reason I dont live in Chicago anymore. But seriously, is there a Best Buy within the city limits? I think there's one near Ford City, but it's West of Cicero Ave. which I would think puts it in Cicero not Chicago. I know nothing of the North/West sides.
 
So i just saw that Splinter Cell Conviction gives you 500 points ($10). Do i get that plus do they add Splinter Cell towards my money used on the gamer stuff. Because i need to spend like $58 more to get $10 back.

Im pretty sure the Best Buy at Ford City does not tax the 10.25, i think its like 9 something.

That they do. But when you say you disliked a good portion of the games people rave about(I also couldn't stand Fallout 3:booty:), you get all of these incredulous responses that come across as 'how DARE you not like what I and (apparently) a good portion of other gamers liked!!!!!'.

It's like the console 'war' fanboys. If you speak ill of the system you own(like I do on the PS3 and how every firmware is forced on me and I'm blocked from PSN if I don't download it), you must be a 'zomg M$ fanboy'.

It's hilarious. It's stupid. It's what I've become used to seeing every time I have a differing opinion than 'everyone else'.

And the truth is that I only tried the games people rave about to see what the big deal was about. The games were well done, but the gamePLAY was what I hated. Well that and the lack of voiceovers for some of the ones people rave about. As far as the PS3 hate goes, if the 360 were better manufactured and wasn't prone to RROD/errors of all sorts, I would own one of those instead since 90% of the games I've played have been multiplatform.
 
hmmm, with ME2 getting $20 off, and me ahving a $15 RZ certificate to use...might be a good time to rebuy the game so i can get in on the new DLC and complete my Insanity run...& to KEEP this time ;)

UNLESS....i get tempted and buy SC: Conviction :/
 
[quote name='bojay1997']It just takes a few extra days for the dollar credit to show up in the Gamer Zone tally after the purchase shows up as pending on your Reward Zone account. You should get the RZ points, as well as the dollar credits for Gamer Zone on any purchase other than ones made entirely with gift cards or RZ certs.[/QUOTE]

I made the purchase almost a month ago. It shows the purchase pts pending and the 500 pts pending on the main page, but the gamer zone page still has my old tally.
