Picked up yesterday:
Madden 25 for PS4 for $10 (PM to amazon) plan to do the BB Madden 15 trade
Lego Movie game for PS4 for $16 (PM to amazon or BB)
Wii Fit U for $23 (PM to amazon)
I assume you had no issues at Target with a PM and the preorder deal? Some people on CAG say Target doesn't allow both this time. Also, Madden25 is $29.99 in the Target store and the preorder deal will still work. I'm going to try it later today.

I did the Target deal today and price matched Amazon on Thief for PS4. They even gave me the steelbook copy. Hopefully it's worth $15.

I didn't even know they made steelbooks for video games.

Yep, most of the time it's included in collectors editions. But every once in a while, Target gets an exclusive one. I think it might be a Square Enix thing. Last year they had Tomb Raider and this year they had FF Lightning Returns and Thief.

The main story was decent. Some pretty tricky parts. The side missions were repetitive and dull.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

I didn't try to PM Madden 25 (PS4) at Target. The in-store Target price is $29.99. I bought it with a preorder card for $1 and it knocked $15 off the total. I then traded it in to BB for $25 plus a $10 coupon good towards Madden 15 (PS4). There is also a preorder $10 RZ coupon as well. Net "true" price for Madden15 was $16.

$(15.99) Madden25
+27.50 tradein BB (with GC bonus)
+10 bonus towards Madden15
(47.99) Madden15 (with GC bonus)
+10 preorder bonus
=$(16.48) Madden15 truecost

Any other PM deals besides Thief and the two Lego games?

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

I thought Target had a $39.99 minimum on the deal?

They do but it still works on Madden25. The system must still see the normal price.

A couple other potential Target deals with the preorder cards by pricematching Amazon: Wolfenstein is $39.99 (so $24.99) and Trials Fusion is $35.35 (so $20.35)

I went ahead and did this too. I'm not too big a Madden fan, but for that price (well, that plus like five bucks in tax), it's kind of hard to pass up -- you didn't mention it but a Best buy pre-order nets $15 Ultimate Madden bonus as well as the $10 GC from the back end as well. I went with the XO version so I can start with the 5 day preview with EA Access next week and just continue my progress once the game comes out. If I don't enjoy it, I'll keep the best Buy $27.50 card and I'm still up $11. When it eventually comes to The Vault, I'll sell this version for whatever pittance it's fetching at the time and I still probably come out okay.

It's not great, but certainly not awful. If you enjoy RPGs, it's definitely worth $2.99.

I want to get this for PC, but think I can wait for it to drop under $20.

Is Titanfall worth it for $20? I assume it has 360 gamepad support.
