The Black Friday exclusion was in the email Best Buy sent out last week altering GCU. In fact I think it was the only change made, or at least the only one anyone noticed.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

Is it ok to change terms of service during the period of service for something you already paid for? This isn't like online gaming where we agree to terms and they can change them. We agreed to pay a set amount of money to receive specific benefits over a previously stated amount of time.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

Odds are the fine print says something like 'Plan benefits subject to change at any time.' I'd bet the consumer's only remedy, if any, is potentially a prorated refund on the membership cost.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

According to the terms of service you agreed to, yes:
Most terms of service include such a clause. I think the only time you have any recourse is if you're in a contract with an early termination fee, like a cell phone plan. In that case, if they substantially change terms, you may have the right to terminate without paying the ETF. However, if you stay you're essentially accepting the new terms.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

I'm ok with the new terms. Now, if they try to change the percentage of the discount then that will be another story entirely. I also don't like those blanket clauses they throw in there to allow then to change things as they see fit.

Up to 3 at that price too. Nice!

Too bad you can't stack three years of Xbox Live if you currently have any time left on your current subscription.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

Yeah, did they do something with the stacking subscriptions on XBL? Mine doesn't run out until April 2017, but it wouldn't even let me add a free month.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

Is that so? I'm good until May 2017 currently. How low do you have to be to re-up?

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

The code I bought from NewEgg took me to 11/27/2018 without any issues.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

Hmm, weird. It wouldn't let me do it the other day. Do you have a credit card linked to your account?

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

Yup.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

Could someone tell me why GTA V is still so expensive for the digital code (XB1) almost 2 years after release?

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

It remains a popular game, and plenty of people are willing to pay that much, so there's not a whole lot of incentive for a price drop. Physical copies can be had a lot cheaper.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

That newegg code seems to be expired already. Didn't work for me.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

ah, ok, that makes sense.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

Digital codes rarely drop in price, especially when you're buying a digital download from a retailer. You'll have better luck with a physical copy or waiting for a sale on XBL.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

It's a neat sale format. Some fun little things to get you checking back daily.

They have a bundle sale on all the old D&D Goldbox era games: 22 games for $22. Buying that and doing a couple check-ins, and I earned the three bonus games for the sale already, including the Dreamfall season pass.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

That's weird since it showed up on SlickDeals again today and in a Facebook ad that I saw.

PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of The Phantom Pain selling for $19.99 at Gamestop.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

I didn't see it mentioned here (found on CAG), but Toys R Us has Fallout 4 (XB1/PS4) on sale for $19.99 and Elder Scrolls Online for $9.99. At the beginning of the week they were tagged on the shelf, but TRU has since taken down the signage. They ring up at $39.99, and $29.99 but will drop to the advertised price when the cashier totals the transaction.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 

I got Fallout 4 at $30 a few weeks ago at Target.....$20 is outright stealing. A heck of a game with more stuff to see and do you'll ever have time for....
