Yea they announce it today at the gamecon, sucks because I bought a new ps3 on July 23 but the store I bought it only match price for 14day after it was bought

[Correction]

Call your CC company, see if they do price matching.

Alternatively, you can buy the cheaper one and return it at the store you bought from on Jul 23 for full price.

Bought it cash and it was at a military base, I think the return policy is different from big chains like Walmart or Kmart.

[Correction]

Why wouldn't they take it back if it's never been opened?

[izembo]

depends on return policy, some small time places around here only allow 3 days even on new unopened

Could be tracked by serial numbers as well.

I didn't see anything posted about this but I bought Deus Ex at Kmart today and got one of those $20 gaming coupons with it.

[Kyo]

Yeah Kmart has the best deal on it currently.

[Salodin]

What is this 20$ gaming coupon? Is it just a coupon off any other game at Kmart?

[Atreides]

Anyone planning on buying anything from PlayAsia? I have a 5 off 50 coupon code that expires on 10/7 if anyone wants it... first come first serve


edit: gone

yeah, it's exactly that, but if you keep up with the promotions at kmart's gamer blog thing or their thread at cheapassgamer, you'll be able to rotate those coupons for big titles and constantly get new coupons as you're using old ones. My only confusion is I thought they were using the Shop-Your-Way-Rewards points now, in which you don't get shit unless you're signed up for it ahead of time.

Yeah they pretty much give rolling rewards on all new games the week they come out. Sometimes it is a coupon, sometimes it is SYWR points. Either way you can use them towards your next electronics dept purchase. Usually that can be games, controllers, accessories, etc.

You do have to be a SYWR member to get and use the coupons, that's how they track them, so no one can abuse them. They work just like gift cards but you have to use them on gaming purchases like Caiyou and Hiryo said. Since last may they have had the best deals on console games around. Also its for instore purchases only.

Is there any restriction on which game(s) you can purchase with the $20 coupon?

Walmart will be selling the Kinect 4GB 360 Bundle for $249 during the week of August 28th. Pic was leaked yesterday, Microsoft confirmed.

“Walmart made an independent decision to implement this temporary price cut. We’ve made no announcements about price drops, and do not discuss our pricing plans in advance. Xbox is the number-one selling console in the U.S. for 13 of the past 14 months, and is showing record growth. With an incredible line-up of games and entertainment, we’re expecting the biggest year in Xbox history as the best-selling console worldwide.”

No, those coupons can be used on anything video game related.

[Kazen]

Yeah the coupons are pretty awesome, I especially love it when you use a $25 coupon on a new release and it prints up another $20+ coupon.

[Anoat]

GameStop is doing a Buy 2 Get 2 Free promo on used PS2 titles until 9/11. Yeah, PS2 only.

[Caiyuo]

Some deals I came across for XBL Gold, naturally the day after I buy a 12-month card:

For currently non-gold members, there should be a 2 months for $2 deal upon logging in somewhere in the menus or spotlight (ends today)

Also this is less dependable but people are reporting that when calling, MS has currently reduced annual subscriptions to $39. Can't confirm this!
