is it 20 off of ncaa because this is what it says

:ionno:

Ryne has a habit of deducting the credits from the purchase even though you shouldn't because they are always for future purchases.

 

[JayDizzle]

You're getting the $20 credit after your purchase.

I have the tendency to always associate credit with future purchase, as if given (I don't put "future purchase").

Target will also be offering $20 credit on the actual purchase (not future purchase), if you trade in NCAA 11 toward the purchase of NCAA 12. I'm guessing that Target requires you have disc, manual, and box in order to trade in.

I think I'm going to head into Best Buy after work and pre-order 5 games (NCAA, Gears, Batman, Battlefield, Uncharted 3) to get the $100 card...kind of have to do it this weekend if I'm going to since NCAA comes out Tuesday.

FYI you need to be a rewards zone gamerzone member....check the reward zone website. You DO NOT get a gift card but you will get 5000 in reward zone bank when the last game is purchased....

Sooo, in essence thats gonna be 500 bucks or am I dumb?

dumb....lol

59.99*5 = $299.95 +tax

Temp charge on your card for a few days.....they don't charge you until you pick each game up. I did "in store pick up" for each game.

Remember also if you are a silver member and if they drop the price with in 45 days you get that money back!

We you pick up the last game you will get 5000 points deposited in your RWZ bank.

That's one of the most important points. Many times Best Buy will have a sale on a new game just a few weeks after release, so getting refunded will be even better.

Some people on CAG pointed out thought that Amazon will probably offer $20 certificates for most, if not all the game anyway. So that is something to keep in mind. They are already doing it for NCAA.

well they usually wait 30 days to drop the price which eliminates all the people that bought it on release date and aren't silver members. They did that with LA Noire. The CSR told me no but when I said I was a silver member she apologized and gave me the credit.

Also since I order online I can do it all from the phone....no need to go anywhere.

I actually didn't know you could do it online because it wasn't advertised anywhere on their site, but now I see it's just an automatic thing.

I got the standard version on PS3 for $10 a while ago. The Steam deal is good for me because it's only about 30¢ more than the D2D deal, and it keeps my PC game library a little more organized.

BL is a fun game. I did hate the RTS shit though.

I was actually in a BB earlier and the fat fuck in the games section could not have been more worthless. I asked himn where the check off sheets were for the pre-order deal and he looked at me like I had three heads. Then I explained it to him and he said "Oh, I remember those. I don't know what happened to them." I asked if he could maybe find them because I wasn't sure which games I wanted to pre-order and he responded with "Well, it's pretty much all the big games coming out." Thanks shit dick.

I actually had Alpha Protocol and Fallout:NV in my hand and was thinking about buying them for $15 and $10 respectively. AP showed $20 but I know it's supposed to be $15. I asked the same jack wagon to price check it and he said it was still showing $20. I didn't feel like dealing with customer service so I left.
