Looks like a pretty dull week. Might be able to get something good with the B2G1. D2 Collector's Edition sounds like a good price, don't really know.
 
It's a shame they're releasing it the same month every other game ever is being released.

I would have gotten it if it was released back in October.
 
The pre-owned section at my local BB is looking quite sad. Aside from being cleaned out by the recent @gamer $10 off coupon (on $19.99+ games) and the previous month's $20 off coupon (Crysis 2 for $2.50 anyone?), most of the price labels are not updated, so trying to figure out the B2G1 is gonna be a PITA.
 
Anybody know why Best Buy has the release date for Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations as 3/27? It is supposed to be 3/13. I have it preordered and will cancel if they don't have it on it's release date.
 
Thanks MidnightMetal for such an early preview of next week's AD. I guess there are no trade in promotions for next week either.

Nothing that is listed in the ad as far as Trade-In Bonuses.
My good guessimate is
Standard: Trade in 2, Get 25% Extra
Trade in 3, Get 30% Extra

Promotional: 40% Extra with ANY or Specific Pre-order/Purchase

(Keep in mind that is PURE GUESS on my part)

That is, unless the usual B2G1 glitch occurs, then the last game is the free one regardless of price.

Wait and see!
If that happens, then 1)Brutal Legend + 2)Brutal Legend + 3)SFxTekken or Mass Effect 3 or...?:applause:
(yeah i know, SFxT or ME3 won't be available used so soon :T)
 
Surprised no one mentioned the Darkness is down to $40 for the SE.

Guess we'll see it at $20 soon enough. Fun game.
 
The fark with these GOTYs.....lol

NBA2k12 GOTY, get the fark out... can these companies please stop doing this to milk money out of their consumers
 
Thank you op. Do you have the actual ad now? I was hoping to see the movie (bluray) deals for the week. The usual places have no info as of yet.
 
Was hoping for two things to happen that week.....

1- A $10GC for purchasing Mario Party 9
2- Maybe a "Free" or xx% discount soundtrack when purchasing Silent Hill: Downpour
 
[quote name='coolz481']Hmmm...I may pick up a Wii since Xenoblade comes out on the 6th of April. $20 GC isn't terrible.[/QUOTE]
Awesome choice! just remember that you're not getting Xenoblade at bestbuy.

I'm shocked this took 16 posts for someone to finally mention this.

Do they really expect us to buy a GotY edition of a sports series that's released yearly? What's the point of this when the game is going to become obsolete once the next installment is out in seven months (the last four NBA 2K games were released in October)? :roll:
 
[quote name='Enuf']Release date updated

Silent Hill Collection 3/20 & they annouced that Downpour will release 2 3/13 & Book of Memories on 3/27. So pretty much March is Silent Hill Month.
http://games.ign.com/articles/121/1219818p1.html[/QUOTE]

[quote name='Scorch']I'm so confused. I thought Silent Hill: Downpour was months away.[/QUOTE]^^^^

[quote name='RealDeals']Looks like a pretty dull week. Might be able to get something good with the B2G1. D2 Collector's Edition sounds like a good price, don't really know.[/QUOTE]LE not CE I think it just has DLC no extra packaging.

[quote name='Sonne']Surprised no one mentioned the Darkness is down to $40 for the SE.

Guess we'll see it at $20 soon enough. Fun game.[/QUOTE]It release in a crowded month vs alot of top titles should've waited till the late summer swoon & sneak a top week seller there for buzz. But it'll probably hold it's price don't think $20 w/o coupon till the time when it should've released

[quote name='Havok83']Was hoping for Twisted Metal to be on sale so I could PM. Oh well maybe the following week[/QUOTE]Gonna hold it's price for some time it's a Sony exclusive & demand is high for it. $50 sale at best.

[quote name='mrclutch']I hope one of my stores kind of stock up on used before the B2G1 because you know online is a coin flip.[/QUOTE]we should be able to get the coupons to work online shortly post(& kudo it) here to speed up the process hopefully we could have it active by late summer:pray:

Wow, I've been waiting for a B2G1 sale since the K-Mart offers ended and have a list of over 10 PS3 titles I'm just waiting to pick up, so I was so excited to see B2G1 in the title...and then my heart sunk when I read it was only on used games.

I really hope this isn't going to become BestBuy's MO now. Before the K-Mart deals came around, BestBuy was my go-to place for games because I knew I could usually walk into the store and find the game I was looking for new on the shelf whereas GameStop would typically offer it used or gutted. Why BestBuy is trying to out-GameStop GameStop, I'll never know. I never buy used games, so I guess at this point my only hope lies in places like Toys R Us and..grr...Target.

it 30% if u trade 3 or more in when i trade my games in they gave me 25% even thought i had 9
 
My Best Buy has stocked up on used games recently, so hopefully I can make some use of the B2G1. Best Buy used games seems so random though. Some stores have so many copies of one game while other stores will have none.

I'm still waiting for a B2G1 on new games like they had last year >.>

It will be 10$ next week
 
[quote name='starmask2k3']How is Darkness II Limited Edition. Ready 39.99[/QUOTE]

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.

Darkness II is published by 2k.
 
Do you know if the free copy of Mass Effect 3 would work with the White 4GB Kinect bundle? It's also $299, but includes another game, so I'm not sure if it's a seperate version.

Anyone know how to get Best Buy to price match on battlefield bad company? GS just dropped it to 7.99 during their last B2G1 and BB has it for 9.99 I want to get it as part of B2G1.
