Yes, and I got the confirmation email. Also, for what it's worth, just received my Rayman 3 order that I placed through buyritegames.com. I ordered on 6/24 (when they charged my cc), got an email confirmation on 6/26, and it arrived yesterday, 7/11. They never responded to my two order questions I submitted on the web but the game was shrinkwrapped and all appears in order. They still have it for $19.99 + S&H if anyone wants to take their chances.

Has anyone ever preordered something from Best Buy and had them "adjust" the price when it actually shipped? I know this has happened at Amazon, and I wonder if something similar will happen with BB. The release date is still over two months away so they have plenty of time to catch this if it's an error.

If they ever "adjust" the price, they need to email you and tell you before you are charged. Else, they will refund you the money.

Found a site GamePulse.net and bought Super Monkey Ball 2 for $28 and Skies of Arcadia for $45. No tax for me and a little shipping cost. Got the games 2 days later. Looks like their prices are pretty good.
Time Splitters 2 is $17 also. Might have to buy that one now.

2 free games or a Gameboy Player and 1 Game free when you buy a GC...

Zelda, Mario Party, Star Fox, Metroid

OR

Gameboy Player


and then you get to choose out of the following...

WaveRace, NFL 2k3, Driver, Bloodrayne

I got in on this, except I had to buy a $4.99 3rd Party Memory Card. If you buy an additional game ($29.99 or highter) and accessory ($19.99 or highter), there's an additional $30 EB gift voucher. I wasn't planning on getting it, but the EB close to work one last Platinum GC, so I couldn't resist.

Netgeek above reminded me; saw Rayman 2 for $20 at CompUSA.

Timesplitters marked down to $15 at KB Toys, too.

Frogger Beyond 9.95 at Toys R Us B&M.

Yep, 'temp price' reduction... finally marked down in Florida!!

zekester and TebunkerTheNextGeneration over at the Gonegold.com forum posted that KBToys stores have some good buys on Gamecube games, most notably, to me,

NASCAR-Dirt to Daytona for $14.99 !

This is a highly rated racing game for the Cube, first time I've seen a deal on it.

I would like to update something I said before, and its impossible for me where that is in this post now.
I was looking to buy Wind Waker in May, but still was wanting to find the OOT bonus disk. Well bestbuy.com had a promo where up until the end of the year they will give you OOT via MIR.

My rebate came today. It was an apology for their supply shortage and a check for $20.

Oh well, i guess i can resort to egay.

A lot of used games stores in my area (ebgames, funcoland) have had copies of the OoT for GC on their shelves for a couple of months now. Usually 14.99 to 19.99.

Before you check ebay and pay 60 bucks for it, you might wanna check out stores a couple times every week for a few weeks to see if anything turns up.

The GB Player links are LONG outdated. The price had jumped to retail MSRP before it was even released :rolleyes;

Anyway, Wal-Mart reduced the Gamecube Broadband Adapter (Clearance)

$30 even before tax. That's about $5 off. Can someone confirm this at other Walmarts? Until then, YMMV.

 

[AU Tiger]

New Additions portion of the list has been updated with deals posted in the past month. Lots of work left in updating the rest of the list.

 

[CZroe]

:Q

Looks like the Broadband Adapter has been seen as low as $10! See the other thread... Looks like all Walmarts do set their own clearance price so YMMV but it does seem to be a nation-wide clearance

 

[SOSTrooper]

w00t an update! Thanks Tiger :beer::beer:

Resident Evil 0 for Gamecube is now only $19.99 at EB Games B&M. There's also a mail in coupon for a $20 gift voucher at EB stores right now. It's a blue paper that says "Save $20" on the top. It should be on the counter, but if it's not, ask an EB employee for one.

The coupon for the mail-in voucher must be postmarked by 8/31/03. I don't know how long EB will have Resident Evil 0 at $19.99 because the preowned version is selling for $26.99. Also, you don't have to cut out the UPC bar code from the package (unlike the similar deal that was on ebgames.com last month).

Voucher for Resident Evil 0 only?

 

[DriftChamp]

Nope, the voucher has Resident Evil 0, Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets (GBA or Gamecube), Bomberman Generation, Mario Sunshine, Disney's Magical Mirror, and Eternal Darkness on it.

Seen at Peachtree City, GA Walmart Supercenter:

Indigo Gamecube with Gameboy Player, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Master Quest Bonus Disc and Gamecube Previews Disc all in the same box (Extended package similar to the Walmart-exclusive box with the extra controller).

Instead of getting a Gameboy Player OR a game for free, this is like getting a Gameboy Player AND a game! (Yeah, I know, the Zelda preview isn't exactly an original *GAMECUBE* game...)

Neither of those show off real Gamecube software, so I guess it's a good thing the Preview Disc is included also

The included discs were shown as a sticker on the lower left similar to the Mario Sunshine bundle so there may also be a package that doesn't include these (Though you can get the GBP free with any GCN so why package it in otherwise?)

 

[PlatypusStan]

Has anyone seen any deals for ikaruga?

It's pretty much $39.99 everywhere, and I doubt it'll come down. Most stores in my area are sold out, so if you're interested you should probably pick one up before they start selling for twice what their worth on eBay. It seems to be a trend with shooters... I wait for the deals that never show up, then the games sell out and I can't find them anywhere. I'm still looking for Mars Matrix and Giga Wing 2 for my Dreamcast.

Reign of Fire $14.99 at BestBuy.com - free shipping

Minority Report $9.99 at Bestbuy.com - free shipping

MLB Slugfest 2003 $14.99 at Bestbuy.com - free shipping

Spiderman the Movie (Game) $19.99 at BestBuy.com - free shipping

Star Wars: The Clone Wars $19.99 at Bestbuy.com - free shipping

There's a couple other games $19.99 and lower but I'm too lazy to link them. As far as I know, Bestbuy B&M and Bestbuy.com are separate entities and will not pricematch each other. I don't know about paying taxes for Bestbuy.com.
