Battlefield 1942:Secret Weapons of WWII - $14.99 at Bestbuy B&M after $5 coupon

[Smackattack]

Suckbuy is on my way home from work, so I didnt waste any gas (thank god), just time (bad enough). Secret weapons is a borderline buy for me anyway. I love the game, but Desert combat (which i dont much care for) has taken over, its hard to find a decent straight bf game now anyway.

Courtjester, dont you hate that best buy. horrible selection, always out of stuff, NO birds, . BTW, since youre local, check out www.hatlan.com. BTW, its good to know who your competition is at staples etc. Watch out, im on to you now.

Lovely. Sold out online -- backordered until 9/15. I think I'll just go to Compusa and pay $30 for it. This wait is ridiculous, especially since the webpage originally claimed that they would be shipping on 9/9.

birds ? did u say no birds at bestbuy.com ? lol is that slang or do u just want a bird..

Found the yellow/black gift gamer gift cards at the registers at my BB. But I still had to howl and moan like an idiot to get the manager to let me use the $5 off on the SWofWWII game. It still amazes me that they could argue that it wasn't "video game software". Anyway they caved in but "paolo" sure had to work for that 5 bucks tonite.

Just picked this up @ BB using the $5 coupon...got it for $14.99 + tax!! Thanks for the heads up or I would have missed out on this one!!

Look at the register when the card is scanned, at my best buy it say "VG Software..." so even though the cashier had to override to give me the discount, the manager said it was fine. (Something about the gamer card not working properly with a sale item).

Probably depends on the cashier/manager...

I've used the gamer gift twice on PC game software once on a sale item and the other time non-sale item. Both times they had to key it in by hand but had no problems with the cashier questioning it.

You know people, birds that repeat the same thing over and over, like a parrot. At best buy in fullerton, they are "NO birds"
NO you cant use this coupon becuase this isnt a video game
NO you cant use this coupon becuase this is on sale.
NO you cant get a raincheck.
NO you cant pricematch this.
NO, NO, NO

see a trend.

So did anyone in OC get the love on this?

For those like me that ordered online when the estimated shipping date was 9/17, I just got notice that it shipped today. Huzzah.

 

[Winchester]

My store just got them in today. I was the first person to get one so I had no problems at all getting it with the original Gamer's Gift Card. They didnt even have to approve it etc. Nice!!!

I got to see the inventory list and I can verify that this will be $29.99 after this sale!!!

has anyone tried this at the Portland Airport way store? Thanks!

Worked GREAT for me. They had to do manual since it was the old green cards, but worked great. I'm going to have to remember that gift card thing for any games I buy there.

I just got back from a successful score at the Best Buy in Huntsville, AL. Used one of the black-and-yellow Gamer's cards, and the total was around $16.50 after tax. The cashier had to manually add the $5 coupon because it didn't work initially.

E.

Same here. Still have 1 in my wallet because of this.

Edit - BF1942 is $19.99 at compusa if you dont already have it.
