Got Madden 08' and Mario Strikers Charged for 76.63 using the 20% coupon.

Not too happy considering they didn't have BioShock, Persona 3, or Luminous Arc.

Will probably turn around and eBay both of those for a 15-20 profit.

Ok I'm thinking about canceling my preorder of the Bioshock Limited Edition at GS and taking that exact money and getting PS3 - Madden 08 and Bioshock 360 for the same price.

PS3 Madden is 30fps, might as well get the 360 version if you're gonna do that.

If someone were to put up a sealed copy of Bioshock on ebay now, around how much would they make?

Got the same deal as JP (he has better tax rate though, 83.05 OTD) in Boardman OH. Bioshock and Madden with the 20% off coupon. Now if I only would have pre-ordered Madden this past Saturday when I was there........doh! :wall:

Big shout to CAG and the OP for helping to save a few bucks.

Eh F it. I'm going for the 360 Bioshock-Madden 08 combo. I'm only 16 though so he'll probably ask for my ID. I want to pick it up after work first I'll beg. Then idk.

Okay, I'm not sure if this message has gotten through to anybody yet, but...

It doesn't matter which version of Madden you buy in-store! You can buy the DS version for $30 and pick up ANY game for half-off. This includes Guitar Hero 2.

Maybe I'm missing something, but that's the glitch we were looking for earlier.

2 Questions:

1. For GH2, you can get the whole bundle off? or just the game?

2. For those of you who have bioshock, WITHOUT SPOILING ANYTHING, how different was the demo from the beginning of the real game?

Can someone confirm.

Oh well...it's too bad this had to come when I had a ton of crap to take care of. At least I saved $24 ordering them both online. Maybe I'll make my way out to the Jantzen Beach, OR TRU tomorrow afternoon to see if they have anything worthwhile.

Holy crap -- I got mine at the same exact store!! Lol..

Maybe you were the dude right in front of me, haha.. The lady was like "That guy right in front of you bought one! I've never seen two people come up and ask for the same game at the same time!" Lol..

Madden DS is hard to resell.

It hardly gets 20+ bucks on eBay. You can't break even.

On the other hand, I made a few dollars profit selling the 360 version on eBay after using the 20% coupon.

No one needs to confirm anything, people have already reported getting GHII for half price earlier. It should have been obvious. I called Jimmiemac to let you all know, but it fell on deaf ears...

I just got word that if you were to buy, say Madden 08 on the DS for 30 bucks, it will still work toward the 50% off, on say, Guitar Hero II.

I just got it all for the ps3, because I think I can get the same price back for them.

It's not difficult at all to return the copy of Madden.
