At Target, you get a $20 gift card if you buy 3 games on launch day.
Now, if you never shop at Target (your loss), then it's probably not a deal. BUT if you do lots of shopping at Target, then it's basically like getting 1 game at full price and getting the next two at 20% off (assuming they're all $50 games). That seems like a decent deal to me. Oh, and plus, the gift card they advertised this deal with was the snazzy white one which lights up blue LEDs around the edge if you push the "power" button on it. Nice.
Since I'm starting the thread, I'm going to suggest some ways to keep it organized. Just post deals or comments about said deals, and avoid idle chitchat tangents. How 'bout we also list the deal part in bold so it's easier to pick out too. What do you say? EASY PERUSING ENABLED.
EDIT: Forgot my source: there're these little Wii brochures you can pick up in the gaming aisle that advertise this deal. I can post pics if anyone wants.

If you go to Target on launch day and buy the system + 3 games, you qualify for the $20. Also, if you don't already, sign up for their Target credit card. Then you'll save another 10% off your purchase.
So roughly, you'll save about $65. Which is essentially another new game, a Wii-mote set, some accessories, etc.
Someone has also mentioned that it might be in your best interests to get the extended warranty plan. Target's plan for 200-500 dollar merchandise for 3 years is $30 I believe. I know this is Nintendo we're talking about, but it might be worthwhile given all the new tech that is running under the hood.
Also, the gift card is godly. I'm going to have the clerk scan it and give it back to me immediately. That thing is awesome (I went and got one already for the fun of it).

On Sunday, I can hit Walmart at Midnight (we have two in town) then Best Buy Sunday morning (we have two in town) or Target (we have two) or Circuit City (one) or even Toys R Us (we have one)
I find it hard to believe all of those will completely sellout...and yet I am afraid I will miss out.

$20 off any purchase of $50 from buy.com when you purcahse using google Checkout
for those that don't get it, that would be Wii games for $30 or so +shipping
edit: added from my below
I guess I should add that you may have to add some small insignificant item to bump your purchase over $50 to get your discount. But I would hurry cause most of the filler items are dissapearing quickly.
p.s. try comic books or pencils/pens, but remember to put the shipping to as cheap as possible to enjoy our discount.

Umm... $49.99 < $50. So you only get $10 off. (with the $10 of $30 or more)

Awesome deal on this thing and yes, it does work perfectly fine with most VC games (Personally, I've tested it with Zelda and Bonk's Adventure - and the D-Pad does work with it). Get these while you can if you want them, this'll probably be the last time you see 'em for sale new.

Everything seems to be up to $10 off, and media mail shipping is always free.
Post by: IceCold on December 23, 2006, 05:40:24 PM
I'll list the relevant ones on a store-by store basis. All prices in Canadian dollars, of course..
Superstore:
I love Superstore, and it has outdone itself this time.
- All original DSes - only $89.98!! That's mind-blowing. I'm so tempted to buy yet another one for my family.
- GameCube PLUS Super Smash Bros Melee - $89.98. I saw it for that price over a year ago somewhere, but this is with SSBM. Can't go wrong (retail for that bundle is $160)..
- All value video games $9.98 - they're usually $19. I'm going to pick up a couple of obscure or old titles that I missed.
- SD Cards - Sandisk 512MB: $9.98, Kingston 1GB $19.98
Future Shop:
- DS Lites - $129.99 (regularly $150)
- Intec Universal Racing Wheel - $19.99 (regularly $50)
- SD Cards - Kingston 2GB: $29.99
Zellers:
- ALL Wii games - 15% OFF
- DS Lite PLUS WiFi Connector - $164.94 (save $20)
- 50% off ALL games under $30 (wow)
WalMart:
- Players Choice games - $18.63 (save $10)
- GameCube console - $77.93
Best Buy:
- 2 1GB PNY SD Cards - $29.99 (save $70)
- DS Lite - $129.99
So in conclusion, everyone who hasn't bought a DS, PICK ONE UP ON THE 26th!!
.....
Also, I was extremely surprised to see the low prices of the Xbox 360. I guess it didn't sell well here during the holiday season, but Microsoft is going all out for Boxing Day. I read once that the Xbox doesn't do as well in Canada, so that may be the reason. But I digress.
In at least 3 places (FS, BB and Walmart I believe) the premium bundle PLUS Ghost Recon PLUS Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged is only around $400 CDN. That's unbelievable, especially when you consider that the console itself without the games is usually $500 CDN.
Finally, we all know the PSP's sales situation, so a discount was inevitable. Future Shop has the console plus a case for $180 ($70 saving) and Best Buy has it for the same price but no case. That's actually a pretty reasonable price if I was looking for a PSP. Or an Xbox 360 for that matter. But I'm not..
Post by: Khushrenada on December 23, 2006, 06:03:38 PM
On a different note, I've read differently. From what I've been told the Xbox deos really well up here. I don't know about the 360 but the orginal seemed to do pretty good. In fact, from 5 friends of mine, 4 have an Xbox. One has a playstation. One also has a Gamecube with the Xbox. It's always seemed pretty popular to me.

Canadian Top 10 Best-Selling Games for February, 2007
1. Wii Play with Wii Remote--Wii
2. Crackdown--Xbox 360
3. Diddy Kong Racing--Nintendo DS
4. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess--Wii
5. New Super Mario Bros.--DS
6. Lost Planet: Extreme Condition--Xbox 360
7. WarioWare: Smooth Moves--Wii
8. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess--GameCube
9. Gears of War--Xbox 360
10. Guitar Hero 2 bundle--PlayStation 2
The PS3 sold only slightly over 6,000 units here, and the 360 about 12,000 systems. The Wii was at nearly 30,000, and it's sold out everywhere.

The whole thing sadly... What they meant was "Zelda: TP for $40." Both GCN and Wii versions were $40 each.
Oh, by the way, Super Store has a lot of games (all systems) marked down to $20, and other price drops. The only Wii game I saw was DBZ Budokai-whatsit 2 for $20. It might be worth checking out!

I want the game, even though I've never played it, but I hate paying full price for games other than the ones I know I will get my moneys worth from(ie. Zelda & Mario).

This email is to notify you of a change in the release date of your pre-ordered item. This change is a result of a manufacturer decision and not Circuit
City?s, but we will keep you informed of any further date changes we receive. You will not be charged for this item until it is shipped to you.
Original Release Date: 06/01/2007
New Release Date: 05/27/2007
Product Desired: Mario Party 8 (Wii)
So there is the posibility that they no longer offer it online to control stock and ensure store availability, and they were late to fix the date. The store ad claims that you get a $20 gift card if they don't have the game Wednesday after 2pm (Just for Wednesday and I think you commit to buying the game when they do get it in)
Edit: It's $40 in store too, although the buy 2 and get $20 seems to be online only...

As he went to scan it in I suggested $14.99 as a fair price that I was willing to pay, he shrugged again. Just as he was about to announce the price I said "Don't tell me it's something like $20 or so" and he said "$29.99, you get get this or Resident Wiivil and pay the same". I was shocked, as that is some serious price gouging. THey probably bought it back for $5 and reselling it at $15.00 would be fair, but $30!!!! you've got to be joking. I'd rather pay an extra $20 and get the controller too, so thats what I did. (I had a $25.00 gift card and thats the only reason I went in there.)

No, assuming everything I post is an online deal only, unless otherwise noted. They're typically posted under "daily deals" sections and the prices jump up and down daily.
"how gamestop violated me with a sandpaper condom" is something to save for a different thread.

If you go here and scroll down to the end, you'll find a Zellers coupon. Apparently, you save $10 off any $50 purchase.
So.. pick up something for $10 or more in addition to WiiPlay and you can use that coupon. After it's all said and done, you'll have saved $30 off $70 + purchases - pretty amazing.

Why pay: $44.99?
Our Price:
$43.99
You Save: $1.00
For Canadians:
Preorder Super Mario Galaxy at Amazon, then buy something else worth over $0.01 (the cheapest one is a kids book like this). Then, use the $10 off $50 coupon code MAPOCTNCSAVE. For Alberta, the total including taxes (and free shipping) for Galaxy and the book is $43.71 CDN.
You could use this deal to buy an extra game or accessory for Wii instead of that book. If you buy Mario plus a nunchuck, it comes out to $68.88 total.

I encourage anyone who has a good friend that wants a Wii Game to do this.
Friend 1: Buys SMG and gets gift card
You: Buy SMG and get gift card
Toys R Us: Buy 2 get 1 free deal
Friend buys one game and uses card = 1 game 25 dollars
You buy one game and use your card = 1 game 25 dollars
Then you both get a game for free you can play together = 1 game for free
So in Reality if you and your friend(s) share games, you guys are getting 3 games for 50 bucks. . . . not too shabby

It might just have an expiration date and probably doesn't let you use it on Mario Galaxy.
My wife just got home from shopping about 15 minutes ago. She picked up SMG for me and I am looking at the card as we speak. I don't see any restrictions on video game hardware or diapers. The card doesn't expire either, but after 24 months of non-use they are able to start deducting a maintenance fee of $2 a month in all but a few select states.

Also you can do the B2G1 Free deal online, and you can also purchase pre-orders during this deal.
People are ordering Geometry Wars and SSBB as I type this right now.

-$25 from SMG Gift Card

+ $10 Giftcard (expires 12/31/2007) to use for SSBB Preorder that I have to place before the year is over.
TRU is making me spend monies on games I don't really have the time to play.

Bah, I don't trust them.
Bah, not only that, they seem to be over charging sales tax (wtf?) It's bad enough that it's 7.75%, but how do they figure $8.21 on a $99.98 purchase?

They are charging you sales tax on the shipping as well. Most online retailers do it to increase revenue.

2. Does this mean I can use the deal on games that haven't even come out yet?
I'd normally do this in the store but I really want Trauma Center which doesn't come out until tomorrow which is the end of the deal. . .This sounds good all on paper but I know they wont stock the shelves with the game until Wed. I rather just preorder the darn game online with the deal if they will count it.

But no risk, no reward.

I also saw Assassin's Creed for the Xbox360 on there. I'm not sure what would happen with that one either - even though it's currently listed as "eligible".
Darkheart, I have the word of two employees that I'll be able to do and even exchange for Trauma Center later this week, so I bought a filler game and plan to exchange it (unopened obviously) later.

Unless someone ordered 6+ copies of brawl, I'd argue that they should honor it.
It's also sweet how 50%+ games listed as eligible are "Temp not available" to purchase online. Sweet.
We'll see what happens.
I blame resellers for all of this, and small time ebayers (word?)

Unfortunately, it sold out within minutes of them putting it up. But FIFA 08 is up there for $35 if you're interested.

Dell, the idiots that they are, offered preorders of Smash Bros Brawl at $35 CDN with free shipping at 7am tomorrow, just like Galaxy yesterday. It obviously sold out, but they must have had thousands of units, since it lasted for a few hours.
Argh.. I knew I should have woken up early today and checked.

Hmmmm...
A little flimsy. Maybe this board won't last that long over extended use... we'll see. TEN BUCKS!
