My total came to $82.67 and that also comes with a $50 gift card. So that breaks down to $16.34 per game and doesn't even count the movie, which might as well be free.
That $50 credit didn't last long, I noticed that the Switch was in stock at target.com, so I applied the $50 towards that. Boo me! My kids are spoiled.

Does Best Buy ever put Gamers Club Unlocked, itself, on sale? Mine just expired, but I don't foresee any purchases until Far Cry 5, so I guess I might wait it out. Plenty of time to wait for a.deal if they ever offer one.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

There have been a couple of random promotions. There was a thing where you could buy a phone at Best Buy and get GCU for free, so people would just buy $15 phones, throw 'em away, and just use the GCU bonus. There was another promotion on Twitch last year where you could donate $25 to some Call of Duty-related charity and get GCU for free; not massive savings, but $5 is better than nothing (plus your money's going to what is presumably a good cause).

I don't remember anything else. I'm not sure if you can subscribe to GCU using gift certificates or reward certificates, but you might be able to get a roundabout discount that way.

I bought a couple of SIM cards for $10 each during that phone promo.

I wouldn't recommend using a reward certificate on GCU since that's a tax-free item (I think) and the Rewards Certificate deduct from the pre-tax price of an item.

Yep, I bought a bunch of those SIM cards too, that was a hell of a deal. Still have a few more years left on my GCU from that.

SW: Battlefront 2 is $39.99 at BB. If you have GCU, it drops it down to $31.99. You also get a free Darth Maul Funko Pop figure. Good price for the game if you've been holding off on it.

GameStop has a deal if you buy a $2.00 GameStop bag, anything that fits in the bag you get 25% off. I got seven bucks off a Pokémon card game for our daughter.

Flash sale on PSN is Battlefront 2 for 40% off. I realize they said they would discount it after Star Wars was released in theaters, but I'm not sure they thought they would have to slash it that far down.

So that's 34.79 for the regular and 46.39 for the deluxe after PS Plus discount (42% off)

If anyone is looking for some cheap stocking stuffers, Five Below has the last gen versions of Guitar Hero Live for $5. Our store had a bunch of the 360 & PS3 versions. I'm guessing other stores should have them as well.

It's a little rough around the edges but a solid horror title.

I played through it on XB1 a couple months ago since it was free with GwG. It's definitely worth checking out for free.

Great deal. Wish I hadn't bought this at launch.
Just a note though : It doesn't include the Flood expansion Awakening The Nightmare -- not even a discount on the $19.99 price, which is pretty shitty of them IMO.

Also, for those who don't check CAG : Heads-up that this week at Target, in-store only, all Video Game Gift cards (i.e. Xbox Live, Xbox store credit, PS Plus, PSN store, Nintendo Eshop, Steam) are Buy 1, Get 1 25% off. That's a 12.5% savings -- about the best deal you will find on PSN or eShop credit all year. I plan to stock up a bit.

You can also stock up via paypal digital gifts on eBay. They've been selling out but coming back in stock. The Nintendo eShop deal is actually better, it's 15% off. The iTunes one is the same but you have to buy a hundred bucks.

PSN: 44 for 50:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Buy-50-Sony...item3d5327ea0f

eShop: 42.50 for 50:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/50-Nintendo...item41d6f0cb9c

itunes: 85 for 100:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/100-App-Sto...item41d6974171

You can still only put about $150 in your PSN account at a time, but you can just save the codes/emails and use them later.

Apologies if I didn't mention this here before.
