PixyJunket 12-31-02 01:35 PM

-eek-

Is this.. real? I hope so.

(edit: I thought it said $15 off.. I'm really not dumb enough to fall for this, honest!! shut up, you're not helping)

mrpayroll 12-31-02 01:45 PM

Could this be an incredible Photoshop fake?

Well, I printed 5 of these and am going to Target at lunch and give it a try.

Let us know how you make out. Somethig doesn't seem right here.

Whoever started this rumour and made that coupon is a real jerk. I mean come on any game for $15.00? Please, threy might as well just give them away.

Gizmo 12-31-02 01:59 PM

Fifa is a bit smaller then the other Xbox games. This IS a scam.

Gizmo 12-31-02 02:00 PM

BTW, The guy that 'found' this coupon is the SAME guy who started the rumor. I will be contacting Geoff to have him banned.

EDIT: Reported to Mods.

joltaddict 12-31-02 02:00 PM

I printed one out. Just in case. ;)

RichardW 12-31-02 02:03 PM

The wording is strange, too.

"$15 Each Any Video Games for Xbox"

I mean it was too good to be true when it was just printed word. Now it's a poorly worded, crappy photoshopped coupon too?

bahahahahahaahahahahaahahahahaha

RVP 12-31-02 02:05 PM

Maybe it was worded "$15 OFF any video game for Xbox" before someone changed it.

darkside 12-31-02 02:06 PM

Kee Kee, the legend of Johnny continues.

That coupon is suck.

PixyJunket 12-31-02 02:08 PM

Oops. I thought it said $15 OFF.

My bad. Bye bye "Devil is GooD".

Jtnguyen12 12-31-02 02:32 PM

can you tell me where you found this coupon?

Jeremy517 12-31-02 02:41 PM

The url on the coupon is www.getintothegame.com. From their site:

http://www.getintothegame.com/promos.asp

Nothing listed there though.

Also, every picture on that site is a GIF, but this is a JPG.

mrpayroll 12-31-02 03:06 PM

OK, no go. I went to Target (Burbank, CA) at lunch and first, after arguing with the sales lady that the coupon was not for just the 4 pictured games, because it says '$15 each - any video game for XBox', then she said she would have to get her manager's approval because of the big markdown.

So after another 5 minutes of waiting she came back and said they could not accept this Internet coupon, because all of their valid coupons would have official printing on the back. Well that made sense to me, since I was skeptical of this anyways.

But I told her, if I found out that other Targets were accepting these coupons (from feedback here at DVDTalk), that I was going to come back with the feedback printed and demand, no insist, no even better, hold my breath until I got my XBox game for $15.

She said okay. Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

well, props for trying mrpayroll, but I'm pretty sure this is someone having some fun at everyone else's expense.

Ralph Wiggum 12-31-02 03:17 PM

Print out this post and take to it to any store:

All teh free Xboxen games you want!!1!!

Valid 4eva!!!1!!

Deftones 12-31-02 03:23 PM

Just to take this a step further, I investigated the UPC using www.upcdatabase.com

Here's what it came up for the 1st UPC code:

Manufacturer (unknown) (085239)
Coupon Info Family Group: Unknown
Value: $5.00

Apparently this UPC has been used for like 5 different items from different companies. If you input it for yourself on the site, click on the number link next to unknown. I find it really hard to believe Target wouldn't create their own UPC for this.

Why can't Target just scan the coupon UPC to see if it's even valid. If it's a fake, then the register won't even acknowledge it. The coupon would have to be in Target's computer system before it gets accepted. Plus, this will tell you if it's actually a "$15 off" or "$15 each coupon".
