Buy A PS2, XBox, or GC + 2 Games & 1 Accessory, Get A $50 Rebate @ GameStop B&M

[coreynyc]

Game Stop B&M (aka Babbage's, Software etc., or Funcoland) has a great deal on video game consoles.

If you buy:

1 PS2, Xbox, or Gamecube system
2 new games ($49.99 & above)
1 accessory ($19.99 & above)

You get a $50 mail in rebate (basically, you get 1 game free).

Since you're gonna probably buy at least 1 game & 1 accessory with your new system, this is a pretty nice deal. If you buy the new "Sega" XBox bundle (with the 2 games and the smaller/better S Controller), it?s a particularly good deal.

Sorry but, I don't know the deal's expiration date.

is this deal good with the sega bundle? i called 2 gamestop in SD area, both never heard about the $50 rebate

I read about this deal on FW and went to the Gamestop across the street from my office to confirm.

I saw the sign with my own 2 eyes and like I said earlier:

If you buy the new "Sega" XBox bundle (with the 2 games and the smaller/better S Controller), it?s a particularly good deal.

Just picked up an X Box at Game Stop:
199.99 for the X Box w/ the 2 sega games and one S conroller
49.99 Halo
49.99 Madden 2003
29.99 S controller
29.99 DVD Remote Play

I'll get 30.00 back on the DVD Remote Play
also, I'll get 50.00 back on the console package

It was the store in Brockton, MA

XR... you got mail... and thank you...

Ok, here's what I'm gonna do:

Sega XBox bundle 200
Game 1 50
Game 2 50
DVD Kit 30
GameStop rebate -50
DVD Kit rebate -30
(sell JSRF game
for $30?) -30
____

Final price $220 for XBox with controller, 3 good games and DVD kit


The JSRF game just doesn't look appealing to me at all.

This should work, right?

I don't think that it's gonna work because Jet Set Radio future and Sega GT 2002 is in one DVD

This is an awesome deal, I just got in on it at Babbages. Here's the full text of the rebate flyer:

You pay only $149.99 for this new XBOX system bundle when you buy these...

NEW XBOX game of your choice valued at $49.99 or more +
NEW XBOX game of your choice valued at $49.99 or more +
NEW XBOX accessory of your choice valued at $19.99 or more

After you mail this... (rebate form)

Customer must purchase a (NEW) XBOX System Bundle, 2 (NEW) additional XBOX games and 1 (NEW) additional accessory at any of the participating stores presented on this coupon between October 15-November 15, 2002. Games that are packed with the system bundle are not considered additional purchases. All incomplete forms will be discarded. One rebate check per system per address. No dealers please. A $50.00 rebate check will be sent. GameStop is not responsible for lost or stolen mail and/or rebate check. Cannot be combined with any other offer. Allow 4-6 weeks for delivery of rebate check. Completed request must be postmarked by 11/30/02.

This could get even better if the accessory can be the DVD kit that's free after rebate. I didn't test that theory since I needed the high definition pack anyway. I picked up Halo and Buffy as my two games.

Have you guys made sure the the DVD kit rebate is good with the new bundle. This rebate applies to a certain item number/ sku... it may not be good with this bundle.

 

[digital021]

Can anyone confirm that DVD rebate works for the Xbox bundle? Also does anyone know if you can replace a game with the Xbox live package, since it does come with a game That would make this deal smoking hot

Best Buy has pretty much the same thing except it's only a $30 rebate. And, AFAIK it's only for Gamecube stuff. Didn't look in the PS2/Xbox section.

- Gamecube Hardware (I believe that means the console)
- 2 games over $29.99
- 1 gamecube controller
- 1 gamecube memory card

The $30 mail in rebate will be printed off at the counter. I asked a sales person and he said it was if you buy 2 games over $29.99. I hardly think that's the case though.

No linky or scan of the rebate form?

 

[BruinBill]

I finally found a GS that honor the promotion in Chula Vista, CA...

the DVD rebate will NOT work, specific UPC # from MS... when I called GS, one of the sales say it will apply, but when I arrived, it seems to me they didnt know about the UPC. I didnt take the gamble and got an extra controller instead.

anyone who wants the rebate scan or will host for everybody, please email or PM me.

I'm a Counter Strike maniac, didnt like Halo though... my 2 cents...

 

[XRdirtHead]

Here is a pic of the rebate form with the Sega XBOX clearly shown on the form. I'm not 100% sure that the DVD rebate will work but the manager at the store said it would. He read an e mail to me that seemed to state that it would.LINK

 

[BruinBill]

btw, why is everyone getting the S controller ? I like the regular better and I dont have big hands...

for one of my S controllers, the buttons are not so responsive, anyone else with that problem ? mine was Made In China, the other one which seems to be better was Made In Malaysia.... more 2 cents

 

[XRdirtHead]

I can't play with mine until Christmas. OH WAIT, It's really not mine, it's for my son for Christmas. The older he gets the more I look forward to Christmas morning!

 

[BruinBill]

lol... wish i have excuses to get extra games and accessories... oh well, gift to myself... must overlook guilt....

ignorance is a gift.... =)

yummmm...
