In late December, a mysterious game showed up on retailer websites with a new Gears titles titled Gears of War Ultimate. Details were scarce on the title at the time, but Microsoft and Epic have unveiled the title with an official announcement and released the official box art and screens for the compilation.
XMNR: The game deals from local retailers for the week of August 21, 2011 sees a couple of hot deals on Deus Ex: Human Revolution which comes out this week alongside some good deals on Playstation 3 games to go along with this past week's price drop.
Not only is Kmart offering a free copy of Resistance 2 with the purchase of any PS3 bundle, it is also has inFamous 2, Motorstorm Apocalypse and SOCOM 4 on sale for $39.99. Picking up SOCOM 4 will also get gamers 50% off the Move Sharpshooter accessory.
Are Sony having supply issues because you see next to no deals on them these days, or are they just selling well without the deals? I don't keep track of sales was just wondering.
XMNR: Everyone should know that the Nintendo 3DS price has dropped to $169.99 by now but there are plenty more deals to be had at local retailers for the week of August 14, including deals on new releases like El Shaddai and No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise from Best Buy and Fry's. Stores have also begun to aggressively clear shelf space with closeout deals on Guitar Hero, DJ Hero and Tony Hawk bundles. How does a full band bundle for $39.99 grab you?
Kinect games are starting to get discounted more deeply as games like Kinectimals hit the $19.99 mark while even Nintendo Select games such as Mario Super Sluggers can be nabbed for $14.99 now. And, to get you ready for Gears of War 3, Fry's has the Gears of War Triple Pack for $19.96. Just in time for the XP weekends that Epic will run for Gears of War 2 every weekend until the next one launches in September.
GNX - Gears of War 3 is only a few short months away, and what better way to prepare for the Locust Horde than by picking up the Gears of War Triple Pack for free. Included in the Triple Pack is both the original Gears of War and Gears of War 2, as well as the All Fronts DLC pack for Gears 2, which features all 19 multiplayer maps.
Sounds great, but how do you get it for free? Just walk (or probably drive) down to your local Best Buy armed with the knowledge I'm about to impart on you.
"Just pick up a copy of the magazine while you're at Best Buy and, while I would never tell you to rip the coupon out while no one is looking, there is that option."
Lol, can't argue with free.
"You see, Best Buy is currently selling the Gears of War Triple Pack for $19.99. Additionally, there's a coupon in the July/August issue of Best Buy magazine @Gamer that offers a $20 discount on the Triple Pack if you pre-order Gears 3 at the same time. As an expert in maths, I can assure you that 20 minus 20 is in fact zero, and zero dollars is the same as free."
except that 19.99 plus tax (depending on where you are) would equal about an extra 2.00, so the math would be 21.99 - 20.00 = 1.99 and 1.99 =/= free, but thats just for the anally retentive
I have used coupons at Best Buy before, and the tax is only calculated on the final price.
oh, well i havent used coupons (or very rarely use them) so im not sure if they calculate the price then you give the coupon or you give coupon then they calculate it...but since you say you have used coupons there before, ill have to take your word for it
I have. I actually picked up $97 worth of stuff and used a $95 coupon, and all I had to pay was the $2 and change. With tax on nearly $100, it would have been another $6 if they taxed before the coupon, but it was still less than $3 total.
That seems confusing, but it makes sense, haha!
I think it's different depending on whether it's a coupon or a gift certificate. Gift certificates are just like cash and don't actually reduce the price so you still pay the tax.
@cookigaki - i think thats where i got confused, i was thinking giftcard (which i use a lot more often than coupons) where you use it after the final price is given
but in this case, its apparently a coupon, so twizlex' point remains valid
