I still prefer the Target bundle due to the 5% off from the red card. Too bad target doesn't have a 1 hour guarantee.

Hell, I own and have played through the standard version and I still may get that just for the DLC.

Yeah, $8 for all the DLC would be a solid deal by itself. Both the story packs are well worth that price.

How long does the cell SIM-kit/GCU deal last at Best Buy? Or is it already over?

Is that Wii U deal limited at Best Buy? It's a very good deal, but I might get some other games.

Well if anybody wants the Xbox One version of arguably the finest, most glitch-free version of Assassin's Creed yet, GameDealDaily has the Download version of Unity for $39 still.

2 questions regarding my best buy points. All my phurcases are still " pending". When do they actually post?
Also, how long does it take for the pre order bonus to show up? I picked up my eligible game and nothing so far.

I don't know the exact time period but it does take a week or two for the points and bonus points to be added. I think it happens after the return period is over.

It's no amazing deal, but since it looks like there won't be any BF deals on game currency cards, I thought I should mention that Target is once again having their "Buy One, Save 25% on One" deal on all gaming cards this week. This seems to be the only way to save money on PSN or WiiU currency. Basically, if you buy two $20 cards, you'd get $40 in credit for $35 spent. You can save another 5% with the Red Card if you have one.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

This isn't a deal or anything, but I didn't know where else to post this.

People have been scamming Walmart getting PS4's for $90.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/102197050?__s...doc=102197050#.

Customers have misused Wal-Mart's price-match promotion to obtain $400 PlayStation 4 consoles for less than a quarter of the retail price using third-party sellers on Amazon.

The company announced on Nov. 13 that it would price-match select online retailers, including Amazon.com. However, any Amazon member with a registered selling account can create authentic–looking pages and list items "for sale" online. Consumers need only take a screen capture of the page and show it to a cashier at checkout in order to request the price match.

Wal-Mart's online price match policy states, "We're committed to providing low prices every day, on everything. So if you find a current lower online price from an online retailer on an identical, in-stock product, tell us and we'll match it."

Few employees appear to have verified the legitimacy of these online deals as many customers were able to purchase gaming systems for $90.

The scam seems to have been initiated after Sears accidentally listed several Nintendo consoles on its site for $60, according to Consumerist, a consumer advocacy site.

Members of Twitter and Reddit communities have posted pictures of receipts documenting that Wal-Mart had accepted these fake Amazon listings.

It would be nice to see Walmart use those receipts to identify those people and at least put them on their no trespass list. I don't see how this isn't some type of wire fraud.

It's tough to do, as it stands they probably lost a couple thousand dollars. Conversely, there is nothing legally binding about other advertisements, the store is supposed to verify the deal is real before allowing it -- like when they used to call the other store to verify. They're scum bags and this is theft, but it'd never hold up.

Is there a latin phrase for "Let the Seller Beware"?

^This. Walmart needs to train its employees better on its price matching policy. The Best Buy stores in my area will call the other store to verify price and inventory.

My Best Buy always verifies price matches with Amazon as being shipped and sold by Amazon as well as in stock.
