Great deal for you guys. I got this from Slickdeals and I've already placed my order so I can confirm it works.

Best Buy is selling $10 Sims 3 Cash Cards for $5. These cards are not only good for Sims related items, but everything on their site (PS3, XBox360, Wii). So you pay $30 for 6 cards and redeem them for $60 on EA.com. That's a $60 game for $30.

The icing on the cake...expedited (1-2 days) shipping is also free! And I paid no tax, but that's YMMV.

My first order:
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10: $59.95 - $60 = 0 w/free expedited shipping! (and I still have $.05 left in credit lol)

Now I just have to decide what to use the other 6 on.

Get up to Best Buy before these card sell out. Oh and there is no tax on the cards at Best Buy. I paid $60 even for 12 cards. Don't forget to use your Reward Zone card either as these are good towards the gamers bonus points.

Here's what you're looking for

They had a table set up right when you walk in at my local store with some cards next to the game. There were also a few back in the PC game section on the rack next to The Sims.

Nobody here likes games 1/2 off?

Decker

You're an impatient little one, aren't you?

Thanks. That sounds like a great deal and I will stop by BB soon to pick up $30 worth. Maybe more. Is Mass Effect 2 available for preorder?

Supermallet

Heck, I might use this to buy the Sims 3. Sweet. Thanks!

dino88

LOL...No, I just don't think patience is going to help anyone with this deal. These cards are going quick and they're only $5 for a few more days or until the store sells out (which is likely).

I didn't see Mass Effect on there, but I was looking for PS3 games. Check the site: www.ea.com
If not you could just save the credit until it is available.

No

6 Electronic Arts - The Sims $10 Cash Card units are not available at the store you have selected. Please return to your cart to reduce the quantity, select a different store or remove this product.

Too late. Probably under 6 available.

I managed to pick up enough to get the Sims 3. Thanks for the heads up

nodeerforamonth

Speaking of which... how come there's no Sims 3 thread on here? Isn't the series one of the biggest games of all time?

Decker

I ended up with the 11 in my local store. My plan was to use the first round on Rock Band Unplugged, but I see it's not listed. Now I don't know what I'm going to do. At least I know I'll end up with a deal regardless.

Thanks again dino88.

Daryl

good lookin' out. Just placed an order. We'll see if they fullfil it tomorrow.

Daryl

It is for the 360 at least. I clicked on 360, then clicked on "ratings pending" on the left which gave me a nice list of upcoming games that are coming out a little further out.

Supermallet

Can't do in-store pickup at any of the stores near me. Oh well.

"The Sims $10 Cash Card has a quantity limit of 3 per order." Not sure if it's worth putting in an order, and driving 15 miles to be able to buy a $60 game for $45. I guess I could try putting in 2 separate orders.

Deftones

no dice around any of the stores near me.

Daryl

Did they add that? There was no limit last night. I ordered 12 from mine and they were able to fulfill 10 of them.

dick_grayson

yeah, I think they did.

dino88

I bought 12 yesterday, just enough for 2 games. The employee back in the game area asked me what kind of stuff I buy with those. I could tell by the way he asked that he thought the idea of buying in-game Sims merchandise is ridiculous (which I agree). So I told him that I love couches and if I'm lucky I'll be able to buy a boat that I can admire. He had a confused look on his face. I told him that I don't know how to swim.

I ended up buying Tiger Woods 10 and Skate 2 for the PS3. Now just wondering if I should stock up on some more credit. I left about 20 on the shelf, but that was mid-day yesterday, so they're probably gone now.

FusionX

I grabbed enough to get Trivial Pursuit and The Saboteur. Not a great selection though.

murray731

Going today after work to try and pick up some of these. I'd love to get enough to cover preorders for Saboteur and Brutal Legend, but if not, no biggie.

nickdawgy

Yeah, they definitely did that because some people were buying 20 or more to save for future EA games.

Decker

I ordered Sims 3, but it turns out I need to pay tax in NV. Boooooo! Still, it's a good deal. I'll order another game or two while shipping is still free.

dick_grayson

I stopped by on my way home. They let me do a raincheck for 9. It says they'll mail me a letter when they're in stock. Mail a letter? what year is this?

I'll be getting Tiger Woods 2010 and, probably Fight Night 4, although we'll see.
