Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
I thought about it, but with tax, it's about the same deal. Plus this gets me games that come out long after October, I don't have to buy them in threes, get them on or nearly on their release date, and I can pick and choose which games I actually want as the time goes on with easily cancel-able single pre-orders.
On top of all that, there's always the chance that TRU might not do that promo this year. I expect that they will, but there's no guarantees in retail.

Is the 'unlocked' something you pay to be a part of, or is it just a new name for the Gamer's Club I attached to my Reward Zone a few years back?

Unlocked is BBY's version of Gamestops powerup program. 15 a year for a magazine and pretty much the same benefits of powerup (10% more trade in, etc)

34.95 for a year up on ebay from buy.com again xbox gold
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Xbox-360...06%26rk%3D1%26
just a reminder for those on the family plan...you can add these cards to a person not currently on the family plan and then add that person to the plan and get credit for that time. I bought 2 years for 69 bucks...if I add that to one of my kids and then add them to my plan I get 1 year of family for 69 (1 month for every 2 months on a normal gold plan)
I have 3 kids...so all 4 spots are taken on my family plan, so that runs me only 17 bucks a year for each gold. If you are already using 4 spots...after you get the cards, drop one of the members, add the 1 or 2 years you bought...and after a week add them back to your family plan to still get the benefit.

Best Buy has Witcher 2 (360) for $9.99 after using the $30 coupon that you can find under your rewards zone member coupons. You can be a free member and still get it.
They also have a Max Payne 3 coupon for $20 off (or $30 if you are an unlocked member)

You can always order it for in-store pick-up, then cancel the order once in-store and re-buy with the coupon. I do that a lot with scarce items.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
Yea, what Decker said. I just ordered it like normal for in-store pickup, then will use the coupon when I get there. The "not redeemable at bestbuy.com" just means you can't use the coupon online.

I picked up Sleeping Dogs and NCAA Football 13 for $60 at Toys R Us. They only had a select amount of titles for this promo.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
I did pretty much the same thing -- I picked up the same two games, but price matched them at Walmart (allowing me the Walmart exclusive DLC for Sleeping Dogs, plus not having to worry about limited game inventory). Then I went to Best Buy and sold them the copy of NCAA 13 for a $38 gift card in trade-in value (after removing the unused Online Pass that has some value on eBay).

Walmart Exclusive: Deep Undercover Pack. Gear up for your dangerous undercover mission with this exclusive set of stylish suit and car, topped with a CB radio for your safehouse.
Spoiler:
instead of just putting a sticker over the outer shrink-wrap is totally beyond me.
