[quote name='spideymike']There's a ticket in the King Kong game? Sweet! I bought the game for myself for Christmas, but I'll have to crack it open and use the ticket since I'm going to see Kong for a 2nd time on Friday. Awesome movie.[/QUOTE]
There is a movie ticket in King Kong for xbox or ps2 and I believe it expires Jan 15th? (2006 of course if that's not a given)

Last night I went into a Target to check for clearence games, and I saw a sign for a "Gameboy Bundle" for 69.82. It said prices were valid 12/18-12/24, and from the sound of it it came with the system and at least a game, if not more. It also said "new brighter screen" so it must be the pearl/graphite SPs. There was nothing physically in the glass case, so I couldn't tell what it was. Looking at the ads on this site, I don't see it mentioned either.

I don't get ads so I couldn't look it up in the paper. :/

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Would be nice to pick up a graphite DS and a game and then try to sell the game or something....

That sounds like the exclusive bundle they sold on BF... pearl blue (which I actually like more than I expected) with Super Mario Advance 2. Similar price, though I don't remember exactly.

 

[Strell]

I would have investigated more but it was 10:15 at night, I was in the middle of a 6 hour drive home that didn't end until 2:30, and I'd been up since 8 that morning doing preliminary holiday stuff. And I'd already bugged the clerk about some PSP games so I didn't feel like being a pest again.

I'll check the local Target here and see what the deal is.

 

[Sway]

Anybody able to find the Mario Kart DS bundle at TRU? I went to one and called 2 more, all sold out. They all said it was a limited edition bundle and they don't know if they're gonna get any more in.

They all said it was a limited edition bundle and they don't know if they're gonna get any more in.[/QUOTE]All of the TRUs in Dallas were sold out by noon today. But! I took the ad to Best Buy and pricematched it. So for $149.99+tax I got the bundle ($150) + Ultimate Spiderman ($40) + PSP Pro Gamer's Kit ($30) (they were out of the DS one) + a Best Buy gift card ($10). I guess that gift card is Best Buy's own promotion. Great deal though!

Yeah, idiot that I am never really looked at the box of the game where it states "Includes free movie ticket to King Kong."

 

[Mattte]

[quote name='anonymouswhoami']Pikmin 2/Metroid 2/F-Zero and some other title I can't remember. Not only that but an extra third party controller is included, so for $99 bucks, you get a GC with 2 games (Mario Party 7 being one of them), and 2 extra controllers (one being a first party controller). Great deal![/QUOTE]


The other one was Wario Ware GC.

"Price-matched" the deal at BB, but they only would give me a $15 value because TRU was out of something (systems too..). So I bought Super Mario Strikers for myself and got a $10 gift card.

Very good Best Buy experience


Also, there was the little divider things that have the name of the game and price on them, and I could've sworn I saw a one in the Gamecube section that said "Tony Hawk's American Wasteland $34.99" they had one with the regular price though so I don't know, didn't really think much of it.

 

[daberk]

Does anybody have a scan of the TRU flyer showing the DS bundle? The ad on their website isn't conducive to printing. I need to run over to circuit city after work for a pm.

 

[videogames10]

Thunderscope, the time you put forth in providing us with this thread is greatly appreciated, but I wonder if you could be kind enough to also include PC games? There are a lot of us who are looking for sale priced PC games in addition to those for the consoles. Thanks.

 

[asianxcore]

hmm..today is the last day for the free PSP Starter Kit when you get a PSP game. might have to jump on that. my TRU is almost cleaned out of any good PSP title though

 

[WTFer]

are the 3 for $30 deal at circuit city include cross platform games??
like getting two cub games & a 3rd free xbox game???

I second that!

 

[roachie17]

Is NFS:Most Wanted worth it for $34 (the price at Target)?

 

[DRV]

[quote name='roachie17']Is NFS:Most Wanted worth it for $34 (the price at Target)?[/QUOTE]

It depends. If you've played NFS Underground or Underground 2 to death, then Most Wanted will be a bit more of the same thing. If that's good enough for you, then by all means, go for it.

I got every EA game at half price since a friend of mine worked at the EA complex before getting laid off last week, so the value of price didn't really matter much to me.

But again, if you haven't played any of the previous two NFS games, Most Wanted should be worth every penny... especially at $34.
