*LIVE Best Buy Gamer Mag Sept Coupons: Battlefield 3 (PS3) $10 AC, Prototype 2 (360/PS3) $20 AC, Mass Effect 3 (360/PS3) $10 AC

Does someone have a scan of the front and back page of ad?

Quote from paayter : whoah your lucky, i dont know if i can do that, im getting kinda worried too cuz i remember i usually get my issue pretty early in the month, but i havent received mine yet, hopefully i get it today after work. i think it might have been because of the labor day delay, ill see. especially with all the bf3s going out of stock and the prototype 2 blackwatch collectors edition and me 3 collectors edition which i was able to find buti feel like now i wont get em cuz of the delay, damn. why dont you juss go buy the magazine?

if the person is scared to do that tell themthey dont need to rip the coupons out of the magazine, they just need to scan em. One of the dudes at my store was scared to do it ( he thought the codes were all unique) so he called a manager over and he said "just check that hes the gamers club unlocked and scan it." Tell em you forgot your magazine at home or something, then they feel like they are helping you and not scamming the store. I went today and there were no battlefields, witcher 2s or something else. There were tons of ME3, only 1 CE of it though. I almost bought it but decided to wait cause I still never even played the second. I probably shoulda got it and have it price adjusted later if it goes on sale.

good luck

Quote from ace198 : Can you use a coupon for the same game twice on your Unlocked account?

I have done it but it is frowned upon. The gaming community will hate you, your mom and dad will hate you, your grandparents will hate you, your mother's, sister's dog will hate you. your friends will hate you and basically you might get yelled at if you brag about scoring 79000000 copies of battlefield 3 and 122312 copies of mass effect and 1 copy of the witcher 2 and flipping em into a house and luxury yacht and a nexus 7 (what i flipped over the summer for). Basically if you can live with that then it is possible...sometimes. It probably also depends on the person working. I had one person say no and another say yes. (Just dont be a scrub and wipeout the entire store collection to trade in.)We all found out last month that some of these games wont come back in stock once they are gone.(kingdoms of amalur) And it has to be different transactions, 1 per system per coupon, so one coupon is 2 games (3 if there are pc version included). . If you want to buy 2 copies on the same system you must do two transactions as well. They will probably ask why you want to copies of it also.

Quote from tightfist : MSRP on Witcher 2 for XBox 360 is $40 (check any reputable dealer if you don't believe me). Best Buy has a $30 coupon to bring it down to $10. Does that count as a sale to you? (It does to me).

Where is the $30 coupon on Witcher 2? I don't see a coupon for Witcher 2 shown in the picture in the OP or any of its text.

If you log on to best buy's reward zone site and go to gamer's club benefits I think, you can claim the offer and print it out to bring to the store.

Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately the coupon is for Unlocked members only who pay the $14.99 per year which I don't do. I thought the coupon was for everyone. I don't even know what the game is, but if I could get it for $10 I'd at least read the reviews and watch the gameplay videos. No point in doing it now.

you should have gotten the me3, totally worth it imo. but yeah to be honest, i feel uncomfortable doing that, i mean its worth a shot. im afraid ill get the whole speech about...oh are you just doing this so u can use ur coupons at home bs. and plus i dont wanna drive out if its not a sure thing, i hate ymmv deals, i usually only hit the for sure deals. but yeah ill definitely keep that in mind if i dont get my issue.

There's picture of the front in the first post for reference. There are no scans of each side because it says "no copies" on each coupon. Stop being a cheap ass and spend the $5 on the magazine, or get a subscription and each month's magazine comes to only $1.36.

I was able to see it and print it on my account, and I'm not an Unlocked member yet, just a regular free Gamers Club member.

Maybe you have a Reward Zone account but haven't signed up for the Gamers Club yet?

This is not true, I'm not an unlocked member and I was able to print my coupon. Just find the other thread regarding this deal and follow that link. The game is actually pretty good. I hate rpg's (couldn't play more than an hour of Fallout 3, Skyrim, etc), but this one I actually enjoy.

The coupon is available for all members. For $10, this isn't a bad deal.

Quote from nappyloxs : What's the best way to get the coupon if I'm not a member?

Spend the $5 1-10 X's a year for magazines you want, or simply join instore for $15 get all 10 magazines plus the 10% base price trade in on games & 10% off Pre-owned games price. $1.50 a magazine is nothing to help convince BB that there gaming program is good for them as well as us. If too many people keep trying to skimp on paying the $1.50 it puts the golden goose on the chopping block.

Like many have pointed out, if you are starting to get into games, or even if you do it just a few times a year paying the $15 ($1.50 an issue) usually pays for itself many many many many many times over. I was fully paid back with the first issue they gave me instore, when I signed up & paid.
Those coupons sometimes vary, last month they offered the coupons to the Free Gamers Club members but the discount was $10 less per game than it was for the Unlocked members (rightly so I think there should be a bigger discount for Unlocked members since the price to join is so small). I didn't look this time to see if they had similar language/price differential on this one but from the sound of what the other Free Gamers club members have said it is the same price.
Back to the joining unlocked: Say you joined unlocked and got the current magazine. If you found say one pre-owned game for $29.99 that you liked in store & used the $10 off $29.99 pre-owned game coupon or found a pre-owned online and had it shipped to the store (cancelled it at the service counter & then immediately re-bought it using the $10 coupon) that's already 2/3 payback on the whole year's $15 cost. Plus I forgot you'd get 10% off that pre-owned game as well bc you are unlocked (another $2.90 off) now you'd be just $2.10 from full payback.

Quote from MaicoWin : Damn Witcher 2 went on sale today for $10 after coupon. Chances are good that Mass Effect 3 and Lollipop Chainsaw might have a big sale drop after coupon too.

I played the waiting game last month but wasn't so successful with that strategy.
Note to self: If you are going to buy ME3 & L.C. do it now and watch/hope for a price reduction in the next 30 days...

Quote from jbonez21 : To anyone thinking of buying Prototype 2: beware I played this past weekend for around 10 hours and got to 81% complete and encountered the game breaking mission waypoint glitch. There is no way for me to continue the game without restarting from the very beginning, which I"m not willing to do. I would not have bought/played this game had I known it had this problem. /// You should keep multiple save files going so that if you glitch you have a clean and recent save to fall back on.

OK, it's hard to get the full meaning of what people are trying to say sometimes. So you had to restart over from the beginning because you didn't make multiple saves, but that had you done that you would have been fine by just starting from one of the other previous saves and continuing, Gotcha.

I would hold off on Mass Effect 3 and Lollipop Chainsaw. They will drop in price further. Just take a look at Mass Effect 1 and 2, those have been on sale for $10 before. I'm sure this one will go down that low as well. If you don't have any other games to play or a backlog, then yea, $20 is a good deal, go ahead and get it now. But the game and DLC will go on sale eventually just like with its predecessors. Lollipop Chainsaw is too short a game to spend any more than $15. Black Friday is just around the corner.
