Saw this was posted as a rumor earlier this week over at cag. I checked this morning and both games are listed on Best Buy's site for $29.99. Supposedly, the price is good today through Saturday. Happy holidays.

Thanks Max! I picked my copy up this morning of Viva Pinata.

how do you get a gamer gift card at Best Buy?

TimeandTide

Thanks for the tip! Will definitely pick up 2K7 this afternoon.

CaptStormy

Gamer gift card is just that. A gift card with gamer on the front. Only problem is that this time of year they come in short supply. Just keep your eyes pealed for the blue CD case with gamer on the front. The $5 coupon is on the back.

interesting...


do you know where they usually stock those GGC?

Michael Corvin

My Best Buy always has them. Around November they got rid of them and put out all of the holiday gift cards. They put all the old ones behind the Customer Service desk. So check out there if you don't see them elsewhere.

Just bought 4 of them last week.

KurrptSenate

thanks a lot. I'll check on my break

Sometimes I buy them, sometimes I just rip them open and use them on the spot. I am waiting for the day they tackle me as I'm walking out the door for ripping open a gift card without putting money on it.

Great price on Viva. It's easily one of the better games to be released this year for the 360. And I've played almost all of them.

As I posted on CAG, I'm thinking about getting this game. I'm not sure I'll like it though and don't want to spend hours micromanaging resources. Is it a fun game if you just want to mess around for a couple of hours at a time?

And abut the GCC, I haven't seen any in a month, but when I do see them, I pick up about 5 or 6 and put $1 on each. BB keeps inventory on them (or so I'm told), so it's not fair to just grab them off the rack. The cashiers never mind me buying on and then immediately using it.

Also - Rainbow 6: Vegas and Marvel Ultimate Alliance are on sale for $44.99

R6:V has free shipping online if your local store is out of stock

How long do you have to pricematch at Best Buy? I bought Viva Pinata just before Thanksgiving...wouldn't mind getting $20 back.

Daryl

Not sure. At worst, if you bought the game within 30 days and still have the receipt, buy it again for the sale price and then return that unopened copy with your old receipt later in the day.

Michael Corvin

I didn't think about that. I wonder if I still have my receipt lying around.

aerobson

If you bought your copy after Thanksgiving (I can't remember the release date) they'll honor a return through the first week of January. That is their standard Christmas return policy. So, even if it was out of the 30 days, but still during the holidays, you're covered.

argh923

Two questions regarding the Christmas policy:

#1.) Does it have to be unopened if I'm doing it to get the price difference back?

#2.) Do you have to have a receipt? (I'm guessing yes, but not sure if I saved it or not)

Daryl

you might be talking two different things. Their return policy (where you'd need an unopened copy and your receipt) is good through the first week of January if you bought after Thanksgiving. Their price-matching policy (you'd need only your receipt) is probably still something like 14-days.

PopcornTreeCt

Ordered both.

Michael Corvin

BUT like daryl said. If you are outside the pricematch window, just buy a new copy on sale and return that copy with the old receipt.

TimeandTide

I bought Pinata for $49 at CC last weekend. How should I go about getting a price adjustment? Should I return Pinata to CC and then re-buy at CC with pricematch? Will CC just give me the diff. if I show them the printout of Pinata from BB's site?

Quake1028

They should just match it with proof of BB's price.

mrglass

Picked up College Hoops this afternoon...glad I didn't buy it when I was in Best Buy yesterday!
