So, still 1 free, but spread over all 3 titles.

Re-buy and return the new, unopened games on old receipt.

I think this works the same way when you use Reward Zone $. If you look at your receipt the next time you use RZ$ and buy multiple items, it divides the RZ$ by how many items you purchased and subtracts that amount from each item (RZ$ used, bought 2 items, it will subtract $5 from each item), hence giving you the price you "paid" for each item.

I think that is exactly how it will work. Each game will ring up as $40 and if you go to return or exchange one, you will only have $40 in credit.
I bought a cordless phone a couple of weeks ago and had a 12% off coupon. The following week the same phone was on sale and I went to get a PM. They only refunded me the difference between the new sale price and the price I actually paid for the item (orig price - 12% off). I tried to argue that I should get the orig price minus the new sale price (since a coupon was not a sale price) but their system would not even allow it.

I noticed that when I did the snowwhite steelbook preorder I used a RZ certificate and it did show that I paid a lower price. I was worried since they do their preorders as a return and buy that they wouldn't apply the full preorder price but it actually did.

Thanks OP! I preordered Borderlands and Dragon's Age on Spun.com using their 25% off coupon. My order for Borderlands still hasn't shipped and now it is backordered. I will never buy from spun.com again. I have to freaking email them to cancel the order.
I can get Ratchet, Borderlands, and Brutal Legend with this deal.

I have Brutal Legend, Fallout 3: GOTY, and Borderlands right now that I only paid $100 for. I can't think of anything else I need at BB, but I may go check out their clearance racks on Sunday and see what's going on.

I sure could use 12,000 XBL points for $100 and RZ points on top of that.

After going over to my shelf and noticing the rather thick layer of dust that has accumulated on my Smackdown! Vs. RAW 2009 video game, I've decided that it might not be a great idea to drop $60 on the next installment.
What would you guys, in your infinite wisdom, recommend for my third game?
For reference, I've played the Uncharted demo and enjoyed it, so I'll be grabbing Uncharted 2 along with Batman: Arkham Asylum which I've wanted for a long time. I'm a big third person shooter, RPG fan (Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear Solid) and I'm especially interested if the game has online multi-player. Not so much into the war genre, but I'm open to it if there is one you really recommend. Note: I can't play first person shooters, because I get a weird motion type sickness from the display.
I'm a newbie to this generation of gaming, so feel free to suggest any title because it's likely that I haven't played it.

Two games I recommend (along with Batman and Uncharted 2 that you're already planning on getting ... both good choices):
inFamous was a lot of fun ... that's a good third-person game.
Valkyrie Chronicles is great ... it combines turn-based strategy with third-person aiming (with first-person view for snipers, but that shouldn't make you motion sick).
There are demos for both on PSN.

I just did the TRU deal (MUA2, BL, Madden10) and have added 3 more to my growing back log but thinking of getting in on this one for some $49.99 games.
XBOX
Wolverine, Prototype, Overlord 2
Thoughts on those?

I'm a big fan of Overlord and 2 was a bit of a disappointment. I'm not saying it's not worth 67% of $50, but if there's anything else you have your eye on, you might look that way instead.

I also forgot about Gears of War 2 GOTY. May get that one since I sold my copy months ago.

The graphics are comparable. Maybe a little better in the 2nd. Gameplay took a step back. It was harder to control the minions in the 2nd at first. You get used to it though. Story was good, very over-the-top and funny at times.

Have been looking at uncharted this past week... Have both 360 and ps3, any differences with batman? Was thinking I was just going to stick with gears 2 and my backlogged games I have til MW2 but this is tempting with the RZ gamers club. Already just picked up Fallout 3 GOTY this past week with a price match of target for 39.99..

Thanks again for the two suggestions, I really enjoyed inFAMOUS (moreso than Valkyria Chronicles) so I'll probably add this to my order on Sunday. One question though, I read online that it is open-world, but in the demo it keeps restarting the level when I explore the city. Is this just the limitations of the demo, or is the actual game like this too?
Vryce, I already have LittleBigPlanet, but that would have been a great suggestion if I didn't.
pinata242, I checked some reviews and videos, and Overlord doesn't look like my type of game. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

How about Red Faction: Guerilla? A fun 3rd person action game with a very competent multiplayer component as well.

More recommendations please, for either PS3 or Xbox 360.
I have most of the latest releases. Tekken 6 is preordered from Amazon. I'm skipping Madden this year. Already have FIFA 10 and I'm not interested in any other sports game. Uncharted 2, Batman AA, Beatles, GH5, Halo ODST, inFamous, Ghostbusters, Wolverine already have them, just mentioning some new releases and previous recommendations.
Right now I can only think on Borderlands and maybe Brutal Legend.
