I saw the anniversary book in Best Buy today and unless I'm blind there were no coupons in it. It's basically a big ad for IGN and various video games. Very disappointing.

that sucks then. I was hoping for at least a $5 off coupon.

Honestly, a $5 coupon wouldn't be that useful since there are already gamer gift cards that have the same coupon and they are around indefinitely. In fact, I used two today. $10 off would have been nice.

Well I know there are GGC (I have used over 20 in the last 4 months) but at least some coupon would of been helpful, rather than none.

 

[mcgavin27]

I picked up far cry today with a pm at BB.

 

[josekortez]

I went to TRU this morning and found nothing. I picked the good green tag stuff clean at that location.

I think I'm my own worst enemy.

 

[Sway]

I must be blind but I didn't find any coupons at all in the PS2 Anniversary guide.

 

[kirkblitz]

This is a very disapointing weekened, Civ 4 is gonna be full priced (no frys here).
Why in the world couldnt target put it at 42 like fear was . Outpost has fear and quake for 37 so i guess it might even out

I didn't see anything either so seems it means nothing.

Anyone know what coupons are in this? I didn't get out to BB today.

 

[kirkblitz]

my guess is they are ps2 coupons. The ad for the book in the weekly ad has a PS2 with spiderman on it.

booklet cover says that there are coupons inside, but there aren't any. i checked twice.

 

[gtguru]

Are these online too? Or just B&M?

 

[takingchase]

does anyone know if I could do a PM at best buy for targets price on farcry and then use the $5 GGC?

YMMV, but don't count on being able to combine offers (pm and ggc).

I brought the Target ad with Farcry for 28.88 to Circuit City to price match. The clerk acted as if I were a criminal, checking over the ad to see if it was real, as if I had printed the ad myself. He called the manager, whispering into the phone "That's the price it says in the ad! It's Target!" That part was fun. The manager O.K.'d the price match, and the clerk rang it up, but it didn't have 10% off the Target price. He said the 10% only applied if I had purchased the game and then found the ad. I told him I didn't think that was Circuit City's policy, but he said the manager would have known. I took him over to the manager, who said "Whoops, I forgot to take the 10% off." Then the clerk claimed to have known about the 10% all along.

Anyway, I got the 10% off, and anybody in the Appleton, WI area should price match at Circuit City so the store loses as much money as possible.

 

[botticus]

Does anyone have any experience with the Mad Catz beat pad? Debating if it's worth $20 (or if I'm lucky and can buy Mario Mix, return it, and keep the $10 off the pad), or if I should just look for it cheaper elsewhere. Its just kinda dumb to only have one pad for the game so we have to take turns playing it. Dueling dancing is required!

Holy crap, I am moving up there soon I think.

Maybe I should re-think my plan based on this, since everything is so easy to PM here.

 

[menikmati]

For the $10 gift cards at Circuit City, is it YMMV? Where does it state that you get a $10 CC gift card when you purchase certain games? What if I don't receive one upon checkout? I plan on buying BF2: MC at CC just for the $10 gift card bonus.

Question: I can not for the life of me figure out what YMMV means. Can anyone help me out please?

 

[The Successful Dropout]

your mileage may vary....as in it may not be going on at every location...it might depend on what store, their policy and/or what cashier/employee you deal with

Just returned from my CC and they told me they havent even got civ4 yet. I think they are just trying to screw me out of my 10gc

 

[buster90]

I looked online and every single game for every system is currently unavaliable looks like the deal is DEAD online.

Circuit City had a delay in the shipping of some of their new games.

When I went yesterday, the day it said it would be there in the ad, they told me that there was a shipping delay and to come tommorrow (Friday) after noon.

I went today, everything else was out EXCEPT Civ 4, had to ask and they had to get it out of the back for me because it hadn't been processed yet. Mind you, this was at 5 pm, as well.

I would try again tommorrow, and if they still you it's not there, pull a manager over.
