I'm sort of pissed that I never got the program to begin so I could get that offer. I'd gladly pay $30 for 2 years to not have to find the best deal on games.

I didn't get the email but I was within the expiration time frame to qualify. I had to send Kelly an email over on the BBY forums and she got the email sent to me in a matter of a few days.

Did you have to buy a certain amount of games to be eligible or something?

No, you had to be a current member (or recently expired membership) of the previous Best Buy Gamer Unlocked club, where $15/yr got you a monthly magazine and $20 GCs with select pre-orders at Best Buy.

If anyone got the $10 off email from Best Buy for doing an in-store pickup of an online order over $100, use the code ASAP. It is actually worth $50 off. The cashier called the manager over when it rang up as $50 off and he told her that they're all ringing up as $50 off and to let it go through.

Thanks. I submitted this to Amazon on the off chance that they will match it.

And yesterday I received the coupon in the mail!

$48 plus tax for new games is not bad.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

Not much of a "deal" really but tomorrow is the LAST DAY to get Marvel Vs. Capcom games from PSN so the games and DLC's are 50% off. The rights expired and Capcom was not able to renew with Marvel.

So it's the last chance available to get the Marvel Vs. Capcom Origins (2 games - including the first), Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 (the most famous), and the add-ons (costumes, additional characters in DLC form) for Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Ultimate Edition.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 for the PS3 is now OOP so that is something to get sooner rather than later if you still don't have it. (This includes myself.)

It'll cost $29.95 to get everything needed from PSN before it's all removed tomorrow... a bit less if you have a PS+ account.

WiiU Basic & NintendoLand & Skylanders bundle for $219

If it was the Mario bundle or even just the Deluxe, I'd bite in a heartbeat at that price, but I'm not interested in this bundle. Still, not a bad deal.

Does this mean that prices for my unopened steelbook will soon be ridiculous? Because to be honest, with my backlog, I'm probably never going to get to it, and I could be persuaded to sell it.

Shoot, I own the Steelbook MvC3, but will buy UMvC3 on Demand for 83% off. What will that make it, $5 or so.

Where'd you read the XBL sale on Marvel vs Capom stuff? I can't find anything on Major Nelson.

Oh I was searching the page for "Marvel" and wasn't getting anything. So it doesn't look like Origins is going to be on sale. Guess I'll pick it up from PSN today then.

I have both the steelbook MvC3 and UMvC3 on 360 (FYI, I think the steelbook version has some DLC characters that were not included in UMvC3), so I'm set there.

Anyone know if Borderlands 2 content is included with the GOTY edition? I know it's missing some of the more recent DLC.

Those Spiderman games are the new Risk Factions (or maybe the new GTA IV DLC)
