Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (PS3 or Xbox 360) $5 + Free In-Store Pick-up (expired)

nice Christmas gift...

Picked up the 360 version from Bellevue, WA at 8:45 tonight. It was the last one on the shelf. Still says available on their website though.

19.99 now

Quote from Katman : Nope, $15 BW3 was just on sale for $20. I really liked the single player campaign on BC2, more than BW3 however the online play is much better for BW3 IMHO. I go back and play the BC2 single campaign every once in awhile.

It's not on sale anymore. Live in the now

When I was at Best Buy, they had a ton of these games and the little plastic thing that said the price. It wasn't a sale price, it was the normal price. I can't imagine they turned it back to $20.

Quote from I_see_deals : Oh I am sorry, you had missed the part about Amazon in my 1st post. Guess you were trying to be that "mentally disabled" guy. And who is this "we" , the other voices in your head? Also, I am sorry that I had bought all the copies from the bestbuys in your area, even though I do not plan to pick them up. I will get a refund though after not picking them up. People should not post with their zip code in postings.

haha I have 3 buddies that work there so I grabbed my 3 copies for my nephews. So buy all you want. Loser!

Quote from phoenixlau : In case anybody isn't aware, there is no VIP pass (precursor to the online pass) in this edition (Ultimate Edition has it). You can still play multiplayer without the VIP pass, but you'll only have like 4 maps. The vast majority of the multiplayer maps are locked behind the $10 VIP pass.

Although this version did not come with a VIP code, I contacted EA through online chat, and they sent me a VIP code. They just had to see my purchase receipt.

I don't even seen an online chat option on their site!

I just did this and was able to get a VIP code from EA chat support also.

It took a while, responses were very slow.

The support person's first response was that I should talk with Best Buy about the "missing" code. I explained it was a factory sealed box and never had a code in the box.

I also referred them to this page:
http://www.battlefieldbadcompany2.com/dlc
where it clearly says that VIP maps are free to all "first hand purchasers".

Getting to the chat is a pain. First go here:
https://help.ea.com/
Then under "DON'T SEE YOUR GAME?", enter "bad company", then pick Bad Company 2 from the pop up. Then hit GO.

Then pick CONTACT US from the right side. Select a category (I picked account/registration) and a platform.

Then you can finally pick on the chat option below on the page.

I just picked mine up from Best Buy and they gave me the PS3 Greatest Hits version. Should I take it back and ask for the original version and not the Greatest Hits, or is Greatest Hits the better one of the two? From Best Buy's website when we bought these for $5, I was under the impression that it was the regular version, not the greatest hits. Advice please? Thanks!

How long is the VIP code for the PS3? 16Char?

Mine is 360. It was 16 alpha-numeric characters. PS3 is probably the same, but I don't know for sure.

I read through all 11 pages.
I was there last Friday and almost bought 3 used copies of this, they were $9.99 each but there was a message that if you bought two you got the 3rd of = or lesser value free.

I realize it's now Saturday and my nearest store is closed ...was this deal ever advertised and as everyone seems to be reporting the price has continued IN STORE, so does anyone know if it is likely to continue tomorrow?

Quote from KydDynoMyte : I just got a 360 last week for a media extender and couldn't pass this up. Picked it up after work. They had a plain bfbc2 on the shelf, was happy they had a limited edition held for my pickup. Says bonus 6 multiplayer unlocks. Also says single-use code expires April 1, 2011.

Just picked up mine. PS3 ultimate edition. Has VIP code in the box along with code for Onslaught Mode and Battlefield 1943. The card indicates that both codes expire Aug 31, 2011. I say what the hell. Just enter the code as is anyways. What can I loss? It shows VIP code is valid with 7 map packs available for me to use. The other code works too. I'm downloading Battlefied 1943 and Onslaught Mode now. For those who are lucky enough have the codes in box, don't be scared away by the expiration date, enter them anyways even if the card says they are expired. Good luck!
