Quick I only have till Sunday to get bestbuy.com.to price match battlefield bad company I don't livr near a GS so.I can't obtain an instore. HELP!!!!! fellow CAGERZ I need you now!!!!
 
If I went and bought the 4GB Kinect system today, could I go back on Sunday with just the receipt and get the free ME 3?
 
[quote name='MidnightMetal']Darkness II did not permanently drop to $40, It just happens to be on sale this week. Keep in mind, to hopefully address some confusion, is that ALL launch copies of Darkness II and most EA games are LE.[/QUOTE]

OK, now I'm confused. Just to clarify, Darkness II LE is the same as regular edition (same UPCs), but with DLC. Sorta like a limited release (i.e. Crysis 2 LE) and then vanilla copies? Correct?

Correct.
 
Last year I was given a Premiere Silver membership out of nowhere, so I used it, didn't change my spending habits any meaning there was no way I'd qualify to renew it and I'd just let it lapse. Well today I get an e-mail congratulating me on achieving Silver again (even though I was probably short by $2000 in spending). Anyone know what's going on? Is it a glitch or are they desperate for shoppers?
 
The Limited Edition of The Darkness 2 has a black background on the cover and includes more than just DLC. It also includes a two sided poster with artwork on both sides and a code for downloadable versions of the Darkness Origins 1 and 2 digital comics from Comixology. Anyway I just found out my parents are going out of town to Mankato which has all the major retailers. I need some advice on what I need to get Best Buy to price match Gamestop on Bad Company for next weeks B2G1 sale. GS has it for 7.99 and I want Best Buy to charge the same.

Did you mean $49.99 on Pokepark 2 and MP9? If they are $19 that would be an incredible deal.

They don't pm used games at all & getting a pm + b2g1 will require override & once they see used there's just to many red flags for refusal. Even my generous BB's won't do it & I get alot of YMMV stuff.

Can anyone verify or deny this being possible?
 
[quote name='Xerxes']Can anyone verify or deny this being possible?[/QUOTE]of course it is but they may require a return/rebuy so bring the console back(worse case scenario). They can't stop your from returning it but not sure what happens if it's opened.
 
Man, couldn't even do $2 off/~10% off on Nintendo Selects? Guess about 5% off is better than nothing. Starting to feel bad for Target, every time I read the thread titles for their weekly ads. lol

if it's a return/rebuy then it shouldn't matter if it's open. but i doubt they'll even require him to bring back the system in the first place anyways.

you can just do the whole purchase again and return the new unopened one using the the old receipt if the store folk start getting rowdy, but usually these things should go off without a hitch
 
[quote name='exaznkid']you can just do the whole purchase again and return the new unopened one using the the old receipt if the store folk start getting rowdy, but usually these things should go off without a hitch[/QUOTE]

Wouldn't the serial # be listed on the receipt? It seems like standard practice these days so that people cannot switch out the console and return an old/defective one for "free"....or worse.
 
Well I didn't want to bring it back so I could give the controller to gamestop with my old xbox.

But nevermind it all. I see everything ends and begins on the 11th. So, I'll just buy it Sunday with "free" Mass Effect 3 and turn around and take my old 360 with the new controller to Gamestop for the $140.

Good guys win, roll credits.
 
Does anyone know if the 10% off used games that you get with Gamer Zone Unlocked stack with the B2G1 free? I know that the coupon won't stack but wondering if at least the 10% does. Thanks :)
 
I like when you post weekly ads because you always put a little editorial in the title. Let's you know what to expect when click on the thread!
 
Thanks for the advice. I may try it anyway though. I managed to get a preorder keychain for Game of Thrones that was still in stock and had them ship the movie to my house because the version I wanted was no longer in their stock. They also are allowing me to return my Clash of the Titans 3D to get the one with the DVD, digital copy and lenticular slip cover. It seems that Best Buy's and Gamestop's prices are usually the same so maybe no one brought it to their attention that it needs a price drop.

I was randomly given Premier Silver status last year, too. It was suppose to end last month, but apparently my status was extended into next year according to my Reward Zone page. I never received an email about reaching Silver again, though.

It stacked in store for my last time that had this sale. It didn't work for me online. Not sure how it worked for others.
 
I just got an email today about Silver it too. Not only that but when I emailed them about my ME 3 credit the guy did the whole "let me take the time to tell you about your RZ Silver" spiel.

Got that $20 credit to spend too, trying to decide if I should just get one game for essentially free, or if I should wait for the B2G1 sale...

Would you care to elaborate on the Best Buy glitch for those who aren't in the know?

Also, I'd like some recommendations on games to pick up with the sale. I'm looking mainly at PS3 and 360 games, though I'd prefer 360 games. I don't want any shooters, preferably RPGs. I'm also looking for games not available on the PC. One game I'm planning on getting already is Tales of Vesperia. About 20-25 dollars per game is my max.

Edit: I should probably go ahead and say that I already own the Metal Gear Collection, all the Uncharted games, Bayonetta, Alan Wake, and Brutal Legends.

May be YMMV. It may ring up at the register, and if it doesn't, simply show the picture of Mario on the cover and they may override it.
