bestbuy.com does list it, but it's kinda buried.

So unless they do it the week before Black Friday, it's probably not happening this year.
Isn't the Best Buy B2G1F expected to be in early December?

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

Only titles in the Best Buy buy 1, get 1 40% off:

:xb1: ps4: Dishonored 2
:xb1: ps4: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
:xb1: ps4: Battlefield 1
:xb1: ps4: The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Special Edition
:xb1: ps4: NHL 17
:xb1: Gears of War 4
:xb1: Forza Horizon 3
ps4: Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration


Also, supposedly, you can cancel two games and get the game you want for 33% off as apart of the Target buy 2, get 1 free deal.

I started updating the Wiki with Black Friday deals, so if anyone wants to add anything, feel free.

Apart = Separate from
A part = Included with

Not quite sure which of those two antonyms you mean.

And yes, Target allows you to return part of your purchase and the discount is prorated to the other items, while Best Buy includes the discount as a package -- requiring to return all three items together.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

Thank you for that update.

Disappointing Best Buy promo.

Hmmm... now I'm wondering if I wait until next week to pick up my preorder of CoD (as I was planning to do anyway -- waiting for some early reviews to trickle out before committing to the purchase), could I also get Skyrim for 40% off (or even more with GCU)? I know it would probably require a Manager's override, but I suppose it's worth trying.

So is it best to use the game you don't want as the free game? Or should it be for one of the two purchased games?

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

Basically at Target, it's buy three games, get 33% off each item purchased. You can return one, two or three of them for the appropriate credit.

This time at Best Buy it's buy 1 item, get 40% off the other. I think you'd have to return them together if you had to return one. Not sure how it would work otherwise. Also not sure exactly how GCU stacks with this deal (but it should stack).

If you do the b2g1 online for Target, you can also cancel the items you don't want right after ordering. This way you don't have to return anything.

If I sign up for the GCU, will the B2G1 stack on top of the GCU discount?

I'm tempted by Target's B2G1, but if I can start at a discount and go from there, I would rather wait.

Good idea. Maybe I'll buy Infinite/Modern Warfare for $54.

The discount did sack the last two years. Not sure if they're doing the deal again or not. This is the first year that GCU won't stack with BF promotions though.

Bf pricing won't stack? Where did you see that?

Benefit does not combine with promotions advertised in Best Buy's Thanksgiving Day physical ad or expanded digital ad.

They announced GCU wasn't going to work on Black Friday like six months ago.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

I don't think they "announced it", they updated their terms and conditions (which matty linked to) and people noticed it.

No they sent out an email saying they changed terms and conditions and it was buried in there, so they didn't exactly do it on the sly and it was enough warning so that people scoured the document and found out fairly quickly.
