I read some reviews and it looks like hunter sounds like fun, but even tho theres some framerate issues in the GC balders gate (20$), which one is better?

are you asking if hunter's is better than baldur's gate? if you can get the winter flyer hunter's will only cost you $4.99+ tax so you could possibly just get both

the ps2 or xbox versions of baldur's gate would probably be better

btw eternal darkness is 20$ at gamestop.com as well for you guys having a hard time finding it at Bestbuy
also there is Fireblade = 20$...

Picked up both Hunter and Bloodrayne at EB for 4.99 and 14.99 respectively. Since Bloodrayne is 14.99, will they still honor the $20 mail-in gift voucher? Also, the coupon expires 1/31/03 so I'm wondering whether or not it must be postmarked by today or if the purchase has to be made by that date? Anyways, thanks for another great deal!

BTW, dragon.ca is having a 50% off in-stock items. Most of the good stuff is gone though. Good luck getting into their site!!

does ebgames have a new flyer every month?
only good deals this week is a free starter kit with purchase of gamecube
and compusa has some $5 off any video game software over $39.99... not sure if that applies for console games

 

[AU Tiger]

Good question on the flyers. Maybe someone can answer it for us.

 

[joeSmack]

Just picked up Beach Spikers for 9.99 and Metroid Prime for 39.99 from Best Buy. I called six Best Buys to find Beach Spikers.

 

[radiodog]

picked up Beach Spikers at Best Buy in Pasadena, CA for 9.99 last night. None on shelves but 39(!) in stock. So yes, do ask them to check inventory.

 

[KrayzieKMF]

the bestbuy in san jose must just suck heh

 

[Spikey217]

Dragon.ca is now 50% off.

Edit : Ah, didn't see that Jorman already posted it.

 

[KrayzieKMF]

yea most of the stuff was gone after the whole 30% off sale too

 

[AU Tiger]

Not much going on for the gc as far as sales circulars this week.

CompUSA has $5 off any video game again.
Best Buy is offering a free starter pack with purchase of gamecube (includes a bunch of generic brand stuff).

[mattingly]

Picked up All-Star Baseball 2003 at Blockbuster for $9.99, previously rented.

 

[AU Tiger]

I was at Best Buy yesterday and Star Wars Bounty Hunter had a couple of copies with a Limited Edition (or Special Edition) cover art. Basically a close up of Fett's helmet.

Hey, did anyone buy and actually receive Eternal Darkness (new, might I add) from buyritegames.com? I have a sinking feeling already

I actually did buy Eternal Darkness from them a bit over a month ago... Recieved it in about a week and a half... took a while, but I was in no rush. It was in perfect condition, still shrink wrapped.... had no problems.

 

[gcdzs99]

What's the version of Freestyle in Bestbuy?

 

[Spikey217]

Metroid Prime is back up to $49.99 at BB.

 

[Quixotic]

Hmm, okay. I'm still a bit worried. Someone on ResellerRatings said they received it without the box, used, and none of the other reviews were any better. All of them quoted poor service, which so far is true in my case. Ordered the damn thing and a memory card on January 8th, they charged my credit card on January 9th, and I still have not received it. (Isn't there a law now that says you can only charge the day you ship? Buy.com and other places all bill only after item is shipped.) Not to mention they have ignored my inquiries like many said they would.

starfox adventures is back to $50 at my fry's

No, there is no law that I'm aware of. You just have to look at their policy.

DVDsoon is one place that charges at time of order.

I hope your order works out for you. However, based on all the horror stories I've read, I suggest NEVER EVER buying anything from them again.

Here are a bunch of ebgames deals that I see in their store flyer...

Trade in 3 GC games, get Zelda: Wind Waker for free.

$5 EB Mail-In GC when you purchase 1 game. $10 for 2. $20 for 3. Expires 2/15/03. Only the following games apply...
Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario Sushine, Disney Magic Mirror, Metroid Prime, Super Smash Brothers, Eternal Darkness, NBA Courtside, Wave Race Blue Storm.

That could be possibly very hot, if you can get them to price match after purchase when Nintendo drops the prices for some to $29.99, and possibly pricematch Eternal Darkness to Best Buy? I don't know, just a thought... ask the sales employee/manager first I say...

Not really GC related, but you can get an N64, Dreamcast, or PS for free if you trade in two PS2, GC, or X-Box games. Seems a pretty good deal if you can find some cheap PS2 games that are valid.

I ordered ET from buyritegames.com and it came about a week later with no problem. I would call/email them and find out where it is. If they don't give you a good answer then write a letter to your cc company to dispute the charge.
