Actually, the last two TRU Buy 2, Get 1 Free sales were:
10/10/10 - 10/16/10
10/16/11 - 10/22/11
So I'd guess it'll start a week from next Sunday.

Those of you with multiple pre-orders at the Microsoft Store might want to double check. Seems as though some of the pre-orders have disappeared for some people, despite having email confirmations.

Hurry on this one : At Amazon, use code SQRLUVIO for $2 off any digital gaming purchase. Works on PSN $20 and $50 codes.
I think it'll be pulled when their current Digital Download Square Enix deal goes back up.

If you have a 360 it seems to be better spent on the 400 points for $3 after coupon.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
If it is multiple use, than yes. Otherwise, PSN points go on sale much less frequently than MS points. Heck, you can get 1600 points every day for around $18. Also, that appears to be dead now.

Great point. Yes, it was single use. I had to laugh at the folks on CAG who posted "I wish Amazon still had $10 codes", because unless you're extremely cash-strapped, what difference does it make? You'd still be saving $2 and you'll use the funds in your wallet eventually. You'd save a greater percentage with a smaller purchase, but in the end it really makes no difference since it's single-use. I went for a $50 code and just need to spend it all before the end of the month to get that $20 rebate.

I hesitated during the previous code, but jumped on Pikmin, Skylanders: Giants and Tomb Raider just now.
Thanks for the heads up Rich.

As I posted in the Store Forum:
Target B&M Stores to Price Match Online Retailers – Videogames, Black Friday Included
Starting Nov 1 thru Dec 16
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/tar...ing-2012-10-16
What this means:
- Target brick & mortar stores will begin to price match Amazon.com, Walmart.com, BestBuy.com, Toysrus.com, and Babiesrus.com for a limited time – November 1st to December 16th
- For the first time ever, you can price match from Target.com too (Nov 1 to Dec 24). You can also adjust a in-store price if something goes on sale at Target,com at a later date.
- Amazon.com price matching doesn’t apply to third party sellers, naturally.
- Use can still use your REDcard to save an additional 5% on your purchase
- Videogames are included. In fact, any item is included.
- As stated in the WSJ article above, Black Friday weekend and CyberMonday prices can be matched too.
- Wi-fi will roll out in stores for customers to scan QR codes and whatnot, but will also benefit those looking up competitor pricing and wish to price match.
- You can use your smartphone to show competitor pricing.
Target B&M Stores to Price Match Online Retailers – Videogames, Black Friday Included
Starting Nov 1 thru Dec 16
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/tar...ing-2012-10-16
Target Corp. became the latest big-box chain to offer to match the online prices of some rival retailers in what is shaping up to be a fiercely competitive holiday shopping season.
Like Best Buy Co., which last week announced similar plans, Target is seeking to combat "showrooming" by shoppers who check out products in its stores but buy them on competitors' websites, often at lower prices.
Target said Tuesday that its strategy for the holiday season includes being "intensely competitive'' on price, while also showcasing exclusive merchandise, such as a limited-edition designer collection it is creating with Neiman Marcus Group Inc.
The Minneapolis-based retailer said it would match prices from Amazon.com Inc.,Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s Walmart.com, BestBuy.com, Toysrus.com and Babiesrus.com between Nov. 1 and Dec. 16.
Best Buy's online matching program started already, but excludes Thanksgiving weekend and CyberMonday. It also includes matching the prices of a larger number of retailers.
Target Chief Executive Gregg Steinhafel said Tuesday that he wasn't concerned that price-matching would dent the company's profit margins. "We're already rock solid in price," Mr. Steinhafel said. "But if periodically some competitor has a lower price, this gives our guests the ability to know 'I can do all of my one-stop shopping in Target.' "
Last year, Target eschewed battling competitors on price to preserve its profits, but the retailer missed its sales projections for the fourth quarter. Another contributor to the miss was its troubled website, which crashed several times last fall, leading to declining Internet sales during the holiday.
This year, Target said, it has increased its online capabilities, tripling the orders per hour the site can handle, and has been testing the site in anticipation of higher traffic during the launch of the Target/Neiman Marcus collection on Dec. 1.
Last January, Mr. Steinhafel, in a widely publicized letter, asked suppliers to help Target stem the showrooming trend. Among other things, he asked vendors to produce more exclusive merchandise that would make it harder to compare items to similar things in other stores.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
Best Buy is doing something similar. If it's just a match, I see no point in not using Amazon. No tax, free delivery, stay in bed, etc, etc, etc...
Target needs Wifi in their stores for this. Being concrete buildings, I can never get any signal in there, especially if I go all the way back to the electronics department.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
I hope they let the cashiers price match or there will be a long line at customer service.
BB's price match however doesn't include everything. They haven't been very specific on what they won't price match. IE they don't specifically say they will price match video games but people have had success. They also said that they won't price match accessories so I am wondering if all console accessories are out.

Many states do have taxes for Amazon now, but it's still more convenient than going to a store and trying to price match, especially if you have prime.

Its great that they are doing that, but like most here I'm sticking with Amazon. Having some of the highest sales tax and the highest gas prices in the country make them the most appealing.
