Thanks, my mag just came yesterday. I now own my first Wii game.

There's a free-to-play version, but it's missing a lot of the maps, apparently.

Taken from SD:

$10 Best Buy Reward Zone Certificate w/ Select Pre-order Video Games

Best Buy is offering a $10 Reward Zone Certificate with pre-order & purchase of video games. You must be a Reward Zone member to get the certicate. Membership is free.

Qualifying Titles:

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag
Watch_Dogs
Splinter Cell Blacklist
Madden NFL 25
Grand Theft Auto V
FIFA 14
NBA 2K14
Batman: Arkham Origins
Call of Duty: Ghosts
South Park: Stick of Truth
Battlefield 4

This is the only deal I know of currently that also includes Xbox One & PS4 games too.

Good to see them carry it into next gen, but I'm not interested in anything on that list.

Looks like they're killing Gamers Club Unlocked, then. Oh well.

It sounds like they are keeping the monthly coupons (which have been shit lately), but might be dropping the $20 Reward Zone Certificates with high profile releases. I don't know why they didn't offer $20 for unlocked and $10 for regular reward zone members. That seems like a missed opportunity for BB.

I can't imagine anyone renewing just for the coupons or digital magazine.

Yeah, I agree. I still have the magazine subscription coming to my house. But once that runs out, you can't renew a physical subscription, it's only digital from there on out. Stupid move on their part. So I'm out too once my subscription expires.

A lot of people will renew for just the coupons. If you get the digital coupons, you can often use them twice (once online and once in store). For $15/year, you will almost always get at least one game for free or $5.

Hopefully the coupons get better as the $10 preorder bonus is terrible.

I'll miss the physical mags though. Good crap reading material

God, I haven't used one of their coupons in like six months. They've gotten totally crappy.

Probably just one Best Buy in Texas, but...

I hope you bought one for that price. If they have them on sale near me I will likely grab one for my daughter as her main Christmas gift.

Is that Wifi or 3G? I paid $200 for the Assassin's Creed bundle with the white Vita Wifi last xmas.

From what I've read, that is the 3G model

I checked one of my local Northern California stores and no luck.

Can the 3G version be used for wi-fi as well?

Yes.

I recently bought one and have only used it via Wi-Fi.

The 3G is just an additional capability if you're willing to shell out a chunk of change every month for service. Mine has it but I doubt I will ever use it.

i'm sure this is a YMMV situation, but, I was in a Fry's Food (Kroger) store and happened by their electronics department. They've got WiiU versions of New Super Mario Bros. and Batman: Arkham City on clearance for $29.99.

Thought that was odd to see an actual Nintendo 1st party game on clearance like that. I see Amazon has NSMB for $44 and change, so that's still almost $15 cheaper.

If you have a blockbuster near you, New Super Mario Bros is $30 and they are running a b1g1 50% off sale right now.

75% off all id titles on steam this weekend for Quakecon. Great deals on some classics:

Doom BFG down to $4.99 again, Heretic & Hexen Collection $2.49, Wolf Pack $3.74 and more

Edit*** Apparently those were just for the first day and it's just 25% now.

^ All their iOS games are on sale for a buck. Not sure which format I'd rather replay them on.

Fry's has Starcraft 2 : Heart of the Swarm expansion on sale at half price ($19.96). I just got it price matched at Wal-Mart. That was my to-buy price.
The CSR asked me if I wanted to spend $3 for a one year replacement warranty. I informed her that online download codes rarely break when handled carefully.
