Man, me and my friend saw SSBM for 20 bucks at Game Stop, which is a good deal in its own right already, but of course my friend only had $18. So we decided, hey!, mabey if we put the SSBM cover in a game case that has a $15 tag on it, we can pay less! Of course it didn't work, and the Game Stop guy thought my friend was a nut (Which is why I decided to stand outside the store until he bought it). Luckily I had enough change in my pocket and he had some too, so he got the game. The things people do for SSBM.....It was a new copy too on the self......

Heh, my friend got a fifteen dollar CD for twenty five cents by taking a sticker from the 25 cent rack and sticking it on. Too bad for you. . .

I think this is less an "amazing deal" and more like theft.

Im just amazed the clerk was dumb enough to fall for that.

Apathy will do that to people. Make them 'dumb' that is...

Depending on where you are and how well you know the clerks you can talk the price down a bit. Its a good idea to get real chummy with them, and if the game is old(this works best for gamecube) you can pull the no one's going to buy this give it to me for less. Sometimes it works.

Capcom USA's online store is doing their FREE SHIPPING deal again. FREE SHIPPING on orders over $40.00 (pre-tax total). As usual, they ship via UPS ground and they generally send out pre-orders several days AHEAD of retail stores (INDEED, long before you'd even get a 1-day shipped game from EB or GameStop!). Imagine getting Resident Evil 4 a week ahead of the street date (i'm not promising anything tho. I did receive Viewtiful Joe and others a week ahead of stores last year). And as usual Capcom includes a free gift on pre-orders, usually t-shirts, but I like the t-shirts and I wear them often. See the game pages for details.

Resident Evil 4 and Viewtiful Joe 2 are available for pre-order now (I just pre-ordered both). Capcom doesn't charge extra for separately shipped items (like for games with different release dates), and they are like, so cool.

This could have been posted already, but I just wanted to give a heads up on next week's ad at Circuit City. Donkey Konga will have a 10 dollar gift card given instantly with purchase. The ad says it will be in stores wednesday, but I'm guessing it should come in UPS on tuesday...

"Come in UPS"? You mean to the store? When they got the NESPs early they wouldn't put them out, so don't count on that.

Oh, absolutely. He didn't expect it to work, actually, but he is not one that minds taking from others.

Renny - Ebgames,EBX,gamestop,babbages and other game stores (especially game stores in malls) usually get their shipments via UPS and Fed Ex.

Renny · « **Reply #561 on:** September 25, 2004, 07:53:15 PM »

Would I be obsessive for defending myself over an irrelevant miscommunication like this? I think so.

Best Buy has Pokemon Fire Red on sale for $24.99.

Yeah, we get new releases via UPS, and my store usually puts them out. If it isn't out, just ask someone... As predicted I picked my copy of donkey konga up at my store on tuesday morning.... Circuit City has been getting a lot better at getting big titles on release. They are already fully geared of for GTA:SA and Halo 2... I just hope they do something with the DS and MP2:E... Maybe another T-Shirt =P

Renny · « **Reply #564 on:** September 30, 2004, 02:12:02 PM »

I did ask. It was on sale later that week, though. I guess that's why they wouldn't put it out early. I just went and bought it at Best Buy at full price. Showed them.

It's not an amazing deal if the deal doesn't exist.
Otherwise, we have AMAZING PRICES.
