Not sure if this matters to you kids, but I read those Beatles Rock Band bundles come with Generation 1 peripherals. Most reviews on the site are pretty pissed about it, they assumed since it's a new RB title it should come with newer RB instruments. #weekendcoupons
@Adhominem: Right there with you. I haven't finished Batman, haven't even touched Brutal Legend, barely begun Uncharted 2, just got Demon Tits ... all my time has gone into Borderlands. #weekendcoupons
I just have to say: Gamestop's trade in value is HORRIBLE compared to FYE. I traded in NBA 2k10 for PS3 and ODST and got $63.50 in store credit. Yes, the same two games that would get you $40 via the Gamestop deal. You also get 10% off ALL ITEMS (exluding game systems) in the store with their club card ($20/year). As in not just used games, you get 10% off new games, too. (When the deal first came out, you actually got 10% off systems as well, but they have since wised up.)
No, I don't work for FYE and, no, I'm not a paid shill. It's just such a better deal, I can't stand Gamestop anymore #weekendcoupons
@Strangelove: Edge card is $15 a year, with a free subscription to Game Informer, which otherwise would cost $15 a year. So if you're getting the mag, the card is basically free.
And every month or two, you can get an extra $5 per game you trade in. I traded in 3 semi-old games and got $45 towards Rock Band 2 on its release date, and CD Tradepost was only gonna give me $28 for all of them.
@Strangelove: Yep, Game Informer puts most of it's content on their website (which isn't that great). The cover stories are nice though. #weekendcoupons
@Strangelove: Just to verify, there are MANY combinations on that list that will give you more than $40, invalidating the deal. I work at GameStop and it happens all the time. If you traded in 2K10 and ODST you'd probably get around 50 dollars.
@staySICK: Columbia, Missouri. There's like 26 stores now.
I managed one until I got insurance and my wife got pregnant, I was fired the next day. They didn't wanna pay for her insurance. Made me wanna strangle their vice prez (he's the one who did the firing).
Then my next job paid double what CDT did, so I guess it worked out. I'm still suing them for refusing to even give me a service letter (my kids lost state insurance because CDT refused to send a letter stating when and why I was fired). #weekendcoupons
@senselocke: ouch, that sucks. Is their vice- prez from here? Cause I've met the guy that started up the stores here and that kind of behavior I wouldn't surprise me coming from him.
I hope things work out and you get coverage for you kids again. #weekendcoupons
WOOHOO!!!!!
I bought a 360 and used the Giftcard to buy another 360, and then used the Giftcard to buy another one.
THREE Xbox 360s for $300!!!!
Selling them on ebay as we speak. Looks like their gonna go for about $175 each. #weekendcoupons
$220 for the first one.
$120 for the second.
$120 for the third.
A grand total of "3 360's for $460".
At$175 for each of them, you'll be getting $525 for all three.
Subtracting out the $460 you paid, and you're looking at a $65 profit.
So, roughly the cost of one video game, assuming everything goes perfectly.
Doesn't really seem to be worth all the effort to me. #weekendcoupons
@Ad-hominem: Crazy?
$200 for the first one.
$100 for the second
$100 for the third.
-$100 gift card left over(I sold at gate to someone for full price)
= $300, unless you can't do simple math.
Then I sell them for $525. Minus the $300 which I used to buy.
= $225 profit. #weekendcoupons
The Wallace and Gromit deal is still on until Monday. The whole third episode of the W&G TellTale Games series is free [www.telltalegames.com]
You just have to make an account with them to get it. The whole series is also discounted until Monday. #weekendcoupons
@dreaming neon black: I jumped on this deal and thought I got it, but the price I got ended in .99 (not the .98 GB price). I ended up just canceling the order :( #weekendcoupons
@Outkastprince: It's not worth it. Last year, Amazon price matched every one of the major retailers and I expect them to do it again. At best, Wal-mart might have some items worth going out for, but in that case you could go stand in line, do all your shoppping on Amazon and then walk in the store, get your one wanted item and then leave. Ha!
After last year, anything I buy will be from Amazon. #weekendcoupons
@Outkastprince: Black Friday is too insane to do any actual shopping. Last time I went to the mall on Black Friday it was so chaotic I wound up pregnant.
Also, Fred Meyer or Kroger, as it's called in some areas of the country, is having a huge sale in their electronics department. 20 percent off all gaming accessories, 30 dollars off anything in department on purchases over 150 bucks, and a few other discounts I'm forgetting. #weekendcoupons
@ReynaldoRiv: i know this is legal and everything, but doesn't everyone on the interwebs know how to get tv shows in "other ways"?
viz media even gives you naruto for free, LEGALLY days after its broadcast in japan. its subbed, though, so if you can't read, then i guess you're screwed... but anyways, silly PSN needs to up its game.
partner with Hulu or something. the whole tv/movie side of the PSN sorta confuses me. anyone actually use it frequently? #weekendcoupons
@Noodle-Works: Some ppl don't want to be bothered with finding it. and if they find them, they may not want to convert it if it's not in the right format.
Also some like it legit. Whatever floats your boat, I'm just pointing out the deals. I was happy for it , I'm sure others will be too.
These deals can contribute to other things. If they see something like an explosion of pent-up demand they may come up with some sort of ad supported free version a la Hulu. THAT would be killer and Sony, being an entertainment juggernaut, is in the perfect position to offer that. #weekendcoupons
If anyone misses the TF2 sale that ends in 45 minutes, send me a PM. I have an extra copy and if you come join the steam community, you can have it. #weekendcoupons
@Beeezy: There have been so many Buy 2- Get 1 Free deals lately. It's kind of strange how Target limited this one to Wii games while the others worked across all consoles. #weekendcoupons

So, not as bad as you make it seem. #weekendcoupons

The CDs are overpriced, and any non new-release DVD or Blu-Ray is generally too expensive, but the games are totally worth it. #weekendcoupons
11/07/09
Yeah, but Game Informer pretty much sucks and you can get the same information available online daily and for free.
Look, would you rather get $40 or $63 for two games? They pay more for trade-ins across the board. #weekendcoupons
11/07/09
Oh, also, you don't need to be a club member to get the better trade-in prices. Just the 10% across-the-board discount. #weekendcoupons

Not as good as 63, but better than 40. #weekendcoupons
