[Mop it up]

Looks like Amazon has Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story back in stock after a while. Since Wal*Mart still has the game listed for $14.96 but has none in stock, we should all report Wal*Mart's price to Amazon using the "Tell us about a lower price" feedback option.

Toys R Us' Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal started today.  This works on games, accessories, etc.

If you're insane like me, now's a great time to get all your Skylanders stuff.  What would have ran $295.21 ended up costing $184.38 (after selling my "third" game for $40).  Saving $110.83 is always nice.  (PS: also signed up for the TRU credit card, which gave me an extra 10% off...)  Also fun - once you spend $100 on Skylanders stuff, they're supposed to send you a certificate via e-mail for a free character.  I don't know if I'll get two, since I spent $200+ on everything or not.

Kmart has a few deals going this week:

For the WII it has an $15 store credit with the purchase of Kirby's New Dreamland.
It also had Ghost Trick (DS) for $15 that you might want to check out.

[Ymeegod]

Walmart has get 2 for $30 on selected 3DS titles:
Super Monkey Ball
Rabbits in Time
Ghost Recon Shadow Wa
Super Street Fighter 4
Asphalt 3D
And a couple of more like Petz but who wants those.

They also have an 2 for $20 DS games:

There its a glitch in Targets system right now.
Buy 1 Get 1 Free. In store only YMMV

also Amazon is having a B2G1 sale right now.

I suggest you check out Target first.

[leahsdad]

So that's why Amazon's going crazy with its 3DS games.  Cheapest I have ever seen these games:

Ghost Recon Shadow Wars - $15
Sims 3 - $19
Splinter Cell 3D - $20
Bust a Move - $20
SSF 4 - $19
Asphalt 3D - $19
Rabbits in Time - $19
Monkey Ball - $18

And a few more I think.   All launch games, of course, so not the best selection.  But if you like fighting games, SSF 4 is awesome and necessary, and Shadow Wars is pretty awesome and addictive, so much like X-Com, but I can talk for hours about comparing Shadow Wars and Xcom.

Kmart's SYW is giving gaming coupons for $15 on Mario Land 3D and $35 on the 3DS system itself starting next week Nov 13-19th.  Shop Your Way is easy enough to sign up for and it's free--you can do it online and takes about 5 minutes--coupons will print out when you purchase the game though you have to double check to make sure the teller inputs your SYW ID.

Coupons for these games are valid until DEC 31 so it'll work for Zelda as well.

[Ymeegod]

BTW:  Zelda's Skyward Sword has an $20 gaming coupon at it as well the following week 20th-27. 

I really don't care for my local KM but it's been kicking ass all year with the best deals--not sure if Amazon will match but they usually do.

[Ymeegod]

Kmart has an $20 gaming coupon for Zelda's Skyward Sword during launch week Nov 20-27th.  It applies to the collectors edition as well though supplies is limited.

You have to sign up for SYW (Shop your Way) and you can do it online at Kmart's online site.

 

[NWR_insanolord]

I really hope Amazon matches. I have both 3D Land and Zelda preordered there, and I did it early enough that I snagged a Collector's Edition Zelda, so I'm not giving up that preorder. If they match both that will almost completely pay for Mario Kart, which I also have preordered there.

[BlackNMild2k1]

You think Amazon will match that?

Yeah, that Wiimote edition sold out fast, didn't it?  I'm glad I got it too.   

But I checked out Kmart, and it looks like the coupon is for a future purchase...so If I use my SYW when I buy 3D land, the coupon will be for a future visit, and I can't use it on 3D land.  If I bought a lot of games at Kmart, that wouldn't be a problem.  But I don't.  I buy almost all my games these days from Amazon, because that's always cheaper--  I don't pay sales tax (CA).  I'd never use that coupon.

Though, if you lived in a state where Amazon charged sales tax, then this Kmart coupon might be more appealing.

[Ceric]

Unfortunately all of the savings I got from no sales tax is countered by having to get 2 or 1 day shipping to have the game to me before Thanksgiving.  I still feel that if I pay for 1 day shipping I should be able to get it on Sunday but no its Tuesday...

I wonder if I can snag a boxed set on Sunday if I could cancel my Amazon Pre-Order before they ship it...

[MegaByte]

Just noticed Kmart is running a $50 coupon with $110 game software purchase (ends Sat). I guess we know where my holiday Nintendo games are coming from.


Edit: Not from them. They don't have much in stock that I want to buy.


Edit2: Second fail regarding the $15 credit for Super Mario 3D Land. The store hadn't gotten it in and didn't know when they might get it, as their shipment days are kept secret apparently due to security concerns.

Did you try Prime?  They give you like 1 month free, and you can cancel after that month.   That way, you can get 2 day shipping for free.

You can get a Prime student account if you're in school and you have a .edu email address to register with.  And if you're a parent and buy a lot of baby stuff from Amazon (which you should, since it is often the cheapest price around), then you can get a free  "Amazon Mom" Prime account, which is hilarious since our household's Amazon account is in my name.

I did the trial a while back so I'm elegible for it.  I was suppose to be able to keep my .edu account from my school as a graduate but they messed that up.  Though I might be able to do the Mom one its all in what they consider kids goods.

[TJ Spyke]

The free student Amazon Prime membership is only for 6 months, though that is better than nothing.

[NWR_insanolord]

Once the free period ends if you have Amazon Student set up you can get Prime for half price, $40. Totally worth it if you buy from them regularly.

To qualify as an "Amazon Mom"  you sign up for an account, which gives you like one or 2 months free (I can't remember).  Then, with every time you buy a qualifying product, it extends your free Amazon Mom Prime membership, depending on the dollar amount.  The more you spend in baby stuff at Amazon, the longer your free Prime membership goes, though it maxes out at maybe 9 months?  Or a year?

Amazon Mom products are specifically baby stuff (not kids stuff).  And it must be products sold by Amazon, not an Amazon affiliated merchant.  It seems to be that anything for kids under the age of 2 tends to qualify, things like pacifiers, wipes, diapers, diaper rash creams, infant toys, mobiles, etc..  If you don't have a baby, then you will never purchase enough to qualify, so uncles and aunts need not apply.  I think Amazon did this because Diapers.com started to move in and undercut them with free 2 day shipping and the lowest prices around, especially on diapers (duh).

There's smart, and then there's Kmart smart.

[MegaByte]

It didn't instill any more confidence that the guy hadn't even heard of the game.

[UncleBob]

Megabyte - are you a member of CheapAssGamer.com's forums?

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=304247

Send a PM to SHC-Gamer - apparently works at K-mart's HQ in their gaming department.  Has done CAGs a great job in securing their advertised deals and such.  I really wish I had a Kmart somewhere near me.

Any Canadians here?


The midnight madness sale coming up at Toys R Us on Friday night is supposed to have 3DS consoles for $130 starting at 10pm. Limit of 2 per family and looks like you need to be in-store, probably standing in line. That really is a killer price if you are at all interested.


If you grab one, don't forget to connect to the internet and download your free copy of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition.

[Kwolf]

One of Amazons deals today is some discounted 3DS games. Asphalt 3D, Bust-a-Move Universe and Super Monkey ball 3D are all 9.99, if anyone is looking to get any of these titles.  Believe this is a one day deal.

Figured I should throw this link in too.    Buy one, get one 40% off select DS and 3DS titles at Amazon.  Not sure how long this deal lasts.
