Any deals on Tiger Woods '04? Preferably PS2.
Any deals on Tiger Woods '04 for PS2? I just played the demo, and after creating the most perfect replica of myself, I'm hooked. And when I say perfect, I mean it. This leaves Smackdown's creation mode in the DUST! I paused the dang thing to show someone else my created me, but the demo cut off the game and started playing a video before I got back. ARGH!
Now I really regret not taking advantage of the BestBuy.com $20 preorder mistake for the GameCube version. "Just another mediocre EA golf game with minimal updates," I thought to myself. Wrong, wrong, wrong!
Since the GC controller isn't quite as nice as the Dual Shock and the game comes on two discs for that system, I'd much rather have the PS2 version. Any deals, coupons, coupon codes, etc. anywhere? I gotta have this!

Ehhh, I can also get it for $45 at DDD, so the way I see it, these are my two options thus far:
1) Waste gas by driving to Best Buy, hope they'll let me get away with only putting one cent on the card, then using the $5 off coupon. I've never tried the BB coupon trick before, so it might be more hassle than it's worth.
Or I could...
2) Order it from DDD and wait a week and a 1/2.
Neither option seems too appealing to me right now. If the price was better at either BB or DDD, I'd take the plunge and accept the inconvenience, but $45 isn't much of a bargain.
Any other better deals out there?
P.S. How long does it usually take before sports games go down in price? I'm generally not much of a sports game fan, so I've never really paid attention before.

This game is amazing. I'm happy with the Cube version. The best $20 I've spent.
The detail they have put into creating golfers, the equipment, endorsment deals, and the great 10 year career mode is well worth the $20 I spent to upgrade. I kept 2003, but I doubt I will ever play it.
The $5 off at Best Buy coupon is the only deal I've seen for this game lately. Its worth $45 though.

BTW Target is advertising exclusive bonus holes in their version only, though I don't know if it's worth the extra $5 (ie no coupon) just for that.

DDD charges shipping, unless you get a free shipping deal, or as you said you can drive to BB which would use gas.
As for BB, why try and get away with putting 1 cent on the card? Just put at least $1 and you should be fine. You'll be spending it anyway.
Popular sports games stay expensive for awhile, it seems. Madden was released in August, and it's still $49. WSB 2k3 was released in March I believe and it still sells for $49 as well.

Or better yet, just buy 10 giftcards, putting $1 or so on each, then use them all when you buy the game, leaving you 9 coupons for future use at BB or CC.

About the extra levels from Target, the code is "sherwood target" so that saves the trouble of trying to decide to get it from there or not.

You mean they included extra holes for all games going to Target only? that seems strange don't it?

The same thing happened with Mario Golf.
One additional note that I forgot to mention before: the PC version of this game retails at $39.99, $10 cheaper than the console versions.
