The gamer's gift cards at the three BB's near me look NOTHING like you described. They are in a jewel case with a black/silver insert. The card itself is yellow with a picture of a pair of hands holding a gamepad. Coupon printed on the back of the insert, card tackied to the front of the insert.Originally posted by: AU Tiger

so you can use one coupon for double dash
one coupon for the wavebird (use the PM instead if you don't minding working for the extra $0.50, since it's 110% the difference)
one coupon for the memory card
I guess you could try PM'ing and using the coupon.
you still pay full frice for pre-orders, minus the deposit.
and what is this instant gift card you mentioned?
the zelda bonus disk is not going to be for sale through retail channels.
How does the $5 Gamer's Gift Card at Best Buy work again? I remember it being mentioned in this thread before, but there are just too many posts to go through. Thanks.
Among the many giftcards that Best Buy offers in their stores is a card that comes in a jewel case and is green in color. The ones in my store have an image of a basketball video game on the cards. Look on the back of the jewel case and you should see a $5 off coupon towards games and accessories.
You can either purchase the gift cards and come back later to use the coupon and giftcard to buy your game or tell the clerk that you have two items you would like to ringup on separate transactions. 1st transaction, buy giftcard. 2nd transaction, use giftcard and coupon towards purchase of game.

Here's how my transaction went today
1st transaction:
Purchase 5 gamers gift card things ($5 each, $25 total)
2nd transaction
3 black game controllers ($24.95 * 3 - $30 with the gamers gift cards/gift certificate)
Mario Kart Double Dash ($49.95 - $10 with gamers gift card/gift certificate)
251 Memory Card ($19.95 - $10 with gamers gift card/gift certificate)
yeah what he said. I had 5 coupons for the $5 off 19.95, and I had the 5 gift cards with $5 on each from transaction one.Originally posted by: SevereTireDamage
It's actually -$50, I can explain. The idea is, he put $5 on 5 different gift cards. That is added to the $5 discount from the coupon. Hence, he uses each "gift card + coupon" combo to take off -$10 per use.

I was going to point that out! BTW, the Douglassville, GA store said I had to put $20 on each card (Green, '03). Fayetteville, GA said there was no minimum amount (Black/Silver, '04).
They may have misinterpreted the requirements for using the coupon (Which I had no intention of using during that visit). I didn't think of that then, so I didn't ask.
Man, I can hardly wait to play the ol' classics. Now if I can just remember how that stinkin' final dungeon maze in Zelda 2 goes and I'll be set (again!).Congratulations!

Bestbuy in portland area does NOT have gamer gift cards, i never even did it before but now they have like 40 different xmas cards now. Was going to snag the coupon and give the gc as a present but suck!
Also CircuitCity does NOT have the mario kart demo disk! I held out and got burned cause i have a stupid 10$ giftcard there.
Just thought I'd let you know.
15% off coupon brings it down to $29.74. Expires Nov. 26: KB111703NL
I got that too! Never played Zelda 2, but I remember the final dungeon in Zelda 1 being a pain.Originally posted by: keitaro
w00t, got an email in my inbox!

I dunno, that's probably the registration offer that expires. Nintendo Power has an offer for just about every Player's Guide ever offered. The offers are usually included in the game (Free guide) or in the back of the NP Player's Guide (Free game promo item). You could call up and ask for every subscription bonus they've ever offered which they still have available and you could pick any one. They simply don't expire because the games and guides are still out there.

if you go to the nintendo store and choose to register for a year of nintend power it'll show you every possible item you can pick for a bonus.. i don't think they'll leave the zelda bonus on their since its supposed to be "limited"
