How to get game coupons out of magazines?
Just looking at the new OXM magazine, there's a rent one, get one free coupon. I just don't like chopping up my magazines, though I guess photocopies are generally illegal.
How do you get around this, or do you just hack the mag?

hack the magazine for me. chances are the page will have nothing of info or useful info.
besides, what do you do with magazines after a while? they just sit there. rather get the five bucks off (though, I just spent 5 bucks on the magazine.. hmmm real smart...)

I usually fold the page in half where I'm able to start cutting the middle of the coupon. You don't completely butcher the page other than the actual coupon and what's on the page behind it.

If the opposite page has something I think might be of use down the road, I make a copy of that page and leave the copy in the mag, then cut the coupon. But I've only done that once or twice.

With the Best Buy ones, I've always just had the clerk scan the coupon and write VOID on it... leaving the coupon in the magazine. A couple of clerks have given me a problem. I just ask for the manager then, saying they've done it before, and they say ok. I usually go to the Northgate, Seattle, WA store.
I'm not sure what Blockbuster's policy is on this.
Good luck.
