When's the last time you've seen Bully disc version for that price? Many of those PC downloads are also around the same as sale prices on Steam/Origin. Getting a free game with a full MSRP purchase of Far Cry 3 is also not the worst thing in the world. 20% off TB headsets also a good deal.

Just wanted to post some other GS deals for those w/GameStop credit.

Does the 320 GB Ps3 offer works with bundles? I checked inventory and one of the stores shows uncharted 3 Ps3 bundle is available, would be cool to get this bundle plus the other 3 games for $270

I'm not hating on you for posting these deals, first and foremost, if that's what it seems like. Maybe I haven't seen Bully for that price, but isn't it regularly just $24.99? Witcher 2 may not be on sale for cheaper now, but it's been as low as $10 at Best Buy.

Brand new copies of The Witcher 2 EE have been $10 several times in the past (Best Buy RZ offer, MS Store Black Friday ninja sale, GameStop BF sale).

Sorry yeah that's what it seemed like after I just typed all of that out, no problem. :)

Bully is normally $29.99 used so that's a $10 drop. Yeah Witcher 2 was $10 at BB w/Gamer magazine coupon but if you remember that thread most stores sold out with a day or 2 of that magazine coupon going live and the BB Magazine thread was full of complaints. Also I wasn't awake on late Friday night/early Saturday morning after working a full day on Black Friday so I didn't get any of those $10 Microsoft store online deals and lots of other people missed them also.

No the console bundle deals are used systems bundled with older used games. I'll update the post for clarification.
 
thanks but holy wall of text Batman. at least it's hard to read via mobile. maybe add some bullets, just a thought. sorry to nitpick

Just change the word GameStop with amazon and you would not see any complaints. A majority of retail deals can be had cheaper online since they incur lower costs than retail stores.

Witcher is 29.99 new at bb. Not cheaper but just fyi.
 
[quote name='MetalSlugger']I find it hilarious that they're having a weekend "spend your tax return" sale weeks before anyone will get their refund.[/QUOTE]

I was just thinking that. Usually don't get my refund till sometime in early March at best.

Would get less complaints but if you add Gold box then would get x100 times the complaints before the sale even starts.
 
[quote name='MetalSlugger']I find it hilarious that they're having a weekend "spend your tax return" sale weeks before anyone will get their refund.[/QUOTE]

Most people who are broke and stupid spend their tax returns before they get it. Go to a cash advance or payday loan store and see how busy they are.
Btw I that Jackson Hewitt commercial.
 
Sleeping Dogs on PC has been much cheaper in various sales, typically $10-$15, while also going for less than $5 on a Steam pricing error. It's $20 on Steam right now for the Square Enix weekend sale, with the chance of being lower as a daily in that sale this evening.

The D&D Ultimate Collection is an awesome price for what's in it.

Edit: $39.99 is actually the new msrp on Sleeping Dogs PC.

This. The people that are getting their refunds already are typically the people that don't pay any taxes anyway and are eager to spend more money they didn't earn.
 
I haven't even receive my W2 yet. Nothing I really want at the moment. There needs to be more Vita game sales.

Are you saying Gamestop thinks its customers are broke and/or stupid?
 
Might pick up Bully, still can't seem to find my PS2 version of the game and have had a hankering to revisit one of the best games I've ever played.
 
I absolutely hate my local Gamestop. The same guy is always working there and is the kind of douche that is always trying to make wise ass comments and jokes like he's so awesome and better than anyone in his presence.

All the complaints quickly go away once amazon pricematches "xyz retail store" and the love is restored within seconds. Amazon gets forgiven eventually, GameStop does not.

Waiting for the inevitable "post erasing" from the mods because i talked about GameStop and amazon in the same post.

He must work 90 hours a week.

Sounds like several posters on CAG....
 
Bully: scholarship edition for the xbox 360 is currently 14.99 pre-owned at best buy. I just hate buying used games from GameStop or best buy for that matter since condition is such a crapshoot, but I have had far worse luck with GameStop.
 
In for Bully for $5 via the $15 off pre-owned "Steal of the Week" coupon. Whoever has points to redeem can get that and any titles they are interested in on this sale for cheap.
 
Nobody can even file their return yet. The earliest date you can file a return has been pushed back to January 30th this year.

However, if you do direct deposit, you get your refund relatively quickly compared to getting a check.

I bought Bully for $10 on Xbox Live a few weeks ago.

[quote name='Monsta Mack']I was just thinking that. Usually don't get my refund till sometime in early March at best.[/QUOTE]
If you file your return on January 30th, the day you receive your refund if you are owed one is between February 6th and February 20th.
 
[quote name='MetalSlugger']I find it hilarious that they're having a weekend "spend your tax return" sale weeks before anyone will get their refund.[/QUOTE]
I thought the IRS doesn't even start processing refunds until the 30th or the 31st.
 
theres no pick up in store/search availability option for bully on 360, guess i'll have to stop into my local store and see if they can track down a copy for me
 
guys dont forget that the birthday coupon code posted by that user is good till late febuary. that 20% off plus the 10% pur discount should help make these used prices to more of your liking :)
 
Used PS Vita and 8 GB memory card for $189.99 in store, good deal? I just recent starting looking for ps vita to buy to play some games i want to play...
 
[quote name='hostyl1']Sounds like several posters on CAG....[/QUOTE]

LOL I know... I bought 2 original 360 systems with no cables for $15 at the flea market and asked what all was needed to trade in the system and after telling me goes "how else are you gonna play any games right?".

I fucking hate when retail treats customers like they are all morons is all.
 
Can I use the 20% off coupon when buying two Wii games and getting both deals? So 20% off one of the games plus the B1G1 50% off?

me and my wife earned our money we claim are student loans and everything and both work full-time and we own a home

yeah we have not even got our w2 yet dumb sale timing . and when we get our refund bank is where its going with last years refund
 
Just as a heads up, for the 320gb PS3 bundle, most of them are brand new PS3's that are repackaged as Used.

I know this because I work at GS and have sold a couple of them, came to the back room one day to find a stack of these. My theory is that they are part of the 320gb Slims, that were discontinued as soon as the new superslim came out. They have original bags and even instruction manual, so its a very good deal.

Does anyone know if its the Future Soldier that you get? I might jump on this if it is but if its Advanced Warfighter, then no thanks.

I looked on the gamestop website and did not see any details about this deal.

OK, I answered my own question, it is indeed Future Soldier. Very tempting. Thanks for the heads up.

It's also been 10$ new at GS. 24.99 used is so far from a good deal, i dont even know what to say to that other guy.

If you want the PS2 version in 480 i/p and no trophies it can be downloaded for $10 on PSN.

Wow I didn't know it was that cheap at BB, but all the BB in STL have very small used game sections. My GS I shop at just had 10 copies sent to them, most they've ever had at once.

[quote name='Spokker']I bought Bully for $10 on Xbox Live a few weeks ago.[/QUOTE]

I was talking about disc versions, not download. I got it for $10 then also.

I'll update the OP to clarify about it being Future Soldier. If you click on one of the deal links on gamestop.com, it goes to this ad, that's how I had the list to type up.

I also removed the Sleeping Dogs PC download as I didn't realize that was its new MSRP. Sorry I don't know how to make a bulleted list.
