Target coupon is ROCK!!!
Somehow the computer rejected the coupon when you purchase 1600 points card. I end up got 6 cards for $28. 3 Free Xbox Arcade Games (Texas Hold"em, Worms, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3). The Bigs and Cars for $5.XX after taxes.

Could someone repost the coupon please? Also, how are you getting free arcade games and the other stuff? Specially interested in the Hello Kitty coupon. Decker were there a lot of cards left when you went?

As the others said, DRM. It's not just tied to your live account or hard drive, it's also tied to the specific console. Compare the serial number on the console you have now versus your old one.

That website has "ass" in the url, and therefore is immoral and socially irresponsible!

You won't be getting free $10 arcade games with a $5 off $25 coupon. To be honest, I don't have a link handy to that one because I'm morally bankrupt enough to use the awesome one.

The Hello Kitty one is on the top of page 3 of the XBLA thread.

CAG's link is down also. How do you get the free arcade games? Can anyone hook me up with the $10 off coupon?

I have the scan of the actual page w/ the barcode that I can email to you. It only mentions expiration though, not even what the coupon is for. Don't know if you need anything else.

Use the $10 off coupon on one of Target's pre-paid $10 XBLA game cards.

Seriously, what's wrong with going back 2 pages in this thread for the full $10 one with the Xbox 360 header that doesn't require any explanation to the cashiers?

Why are you making this harder than it needs to be? Go to post 351 (top of page 15 in 25-post-per-page view), right-click, view image, print. Done and done.

That's the one I used. I does require a manager override but most people have not had too much trouble getting that done.

The biggest problem now seems to be finding stores that actually have any cards in stock.

I picked 4 of them up in Wilsonville the other day, and they had about 5 left. I Didn't bother with the coupon though - I was happy to get them for $15 as I normally just recharge my points on the console for full price.

Local Burbank store had a ton of them... it helps that they no longer come in those cumbersome plastic cases, but instead are just cards that need to be activated at the register (to prevent theft). Of course, that store won't take either coupon, so maybe that's another reason.

Well I finally got the coupon at CAG but it was no go at my store. The Vegas Cheyenne/Tenaya store always denies everything. Used the $5 off $25 and I'm happy at $6.73 a game after taxes. Bought 8 for $106 or so, since other than Halo and Viva Pinata (which I play neither) and GHIII, all my 360 gaming is through XBLA. This should hold me until the next sale. I spend a lot more time on each XBLA game than I do on a full-fledged 360 game.

A lady manager was looking at me dirty because I used 4 coupons and I pointed out to her that if she did 2 cards at a time, that was 1 coupon per transaction. The clearance games on that store always suck.

I'm going to hold off using them for a week or so because maybe I'll snag some on eBay for $10 from the people who got them for $5. Still comes cheaper than the $13.46 each I paid for them.

The managers at my store won't override -anything- and look for any way to not honor coupons. I had one person in video games who shot me down on a coupon a few months ago actually call the manager in the regular registers to make sure I didn't try again with her and 'get away with it.'

Seriously, did you miss the first time I replied to you that the link is now broken? Why are you making this harder than it needs to be?
