RCL66: Did you actually do this at Best Buy? The coupon states something like "Not applicable with other offers, blah, blah" If Best Buy isn't allowing price matching with the Buy 3, Save $20, I can't imagine they would stack the coupon. Some Best Buys may be more lenient than others, I suppose.

Yep, I just did it this morning. I got Mario Advance, Namco Classics and Castlevania for $10 cheaper then JUST Castlevania and Namco would cost me at EB or Funcoland.
Pretty amazing.
I saw that part about "not valid with other offers" but that doesn't seem to apply that often. Several times I have used the 10% coupon they send in the mail on sale items.
The cashier I had knew what he was doing and it took a bit of effort on his part, but it worked!

I'm not sure why they aren't advertising it, but K-Mart has Castlevania for $34.99 (my wife picked it up this morning, along with Tony Hawk for $34.99).
If you don't have a Best Buy nearby and are interested in those 2 games, K-Mart ends up being the same price. $10 more at Best Buy ($39.99 each) minus the $10 off = K-Mart's price.
On the other hand, they didn't have the GBA yet. Had to get that at Target (which is fine, considering the free headphones).

Used the Nintendo Power $5 off coupon at Best Buy
and they applied the $20 off 3 games as well.
Final Price:
Rayman Advance $28.33
Earthworm Jim $28.33
Namco Museum $18.33
Then I went back and purchased 3 accessories and got the $15 off, unfortunately only had the only coupon. Accessories were going fast so I didn't want to wait.
Then I went to the local K-Mart and picked
up Super Mario for $23.99
and an Arctic GBA for $89.99
and they applied the $20 off 3 games as well.

Went to Meijer's this morning - picked up a Nintendo Power to get the coupon (thanks for the tip, RCL66). Got to Best Buy at 9:55, line was already 12-15 deep outside (they were handing out tickets). Got my GBA, 3 games (Tony Hawk, Castlevania, Dodgeball), some accessories, and they did count the $15 coupon (no questions asked) and the $20 off of three games.

Went to Best Buy yesterday. They honored the K-Mart pricematch, $20 off 3 games and $5 per game coupon from the magazine. I got F-Zero, Tony Hawk and Rayman for $59.96 ! I even asked before doing it to see if it was possible to combine all 3 and the manager said no problem. The computer did not allow the pricematch, coupon and $20 off, it kept changing the price back to just $20 off only, so customer service had to override. Could be worth a shot for anyone who wants to try

Funcoland however, seems to have jacked their prices up since gamestop.com took them over unfortunately.

Yeah Funcoland used to be decent, now they are borderline criminals with their prices. Their inventory is horrid, their customer service blows... Their demo area sucks (used to be good).

haha. I was 13 way back when and I went in there to try games out once in awhile (not much now since what they did)..anyway, I was playing a game for about 5 minutes and one of the employees comes up to me and says dude, we're not your babysitter. Ohhh man. I went off, but I walked out. I bought from them farely often too back then...
Oh well.
