Not sure if I am reading the site correctly, but is this online only?

It's in their store ad page 15 and I don't see anything there about online only.

Check the summary. ;)

I picked up Borderlands, Fallout 3: Game of the Year, and Batman: Arkham Asylum in store.

There was something above this offer that mentioned "online only" deals, and I didn't have the circular for BB this week. Thanks for clarifying though!

Yeah, I saw that too. The OP had mentioned in-store, so I looked at the circular.

As a public service announcement for those who were unaware, the Best Buy circular is available for viewing on their site. Click on"Weekly Ad" at the top of the home page.

Yeah, I used this Saturday to pick up Batman, Uncharted 2, & Demons Souls. Thinking about going back and getting GTA4, Saints Row 2, and Uncharted 1.

This seems like the better deal, as with BB you're forced to purchase 2 games at the full $59.99 price to get something free, thats $120 for 3 games.....

versues

Amazon prices + over $80 gets you $40... same games I want comes out to $84 vs their $120

Nevermind, Amazon's deal expired on the 31st

I think with BB it's just the two highest priced items cost, and the cheapest one is free. So you could get three $40 games for $80, for instance.

I bought three Wii Sports Resort double MotionPlus packs, picked them up locally, and sold two of them on ebay with only one MP each. Purchase cost: $130 with tax, minus approx $40 profit each for the sales, means I paid $50 for the game and four MPs (value: $80 plus tax). Not bad, if I do say so myself. If there were more games I wanted, or I was a real ebay fanatic, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Amazon's deal might have been better since their prices are lower than BB by about 10%-20% across the board; on the other hand the selection is limited whereas BB offers it for all their games, which is to say pretty much all the games out there right now.

Also worth noting: Target B&M here in NYC (and elsewhere?) is offering a similar 2-for-3 deal, but there are lame limitations. I forget the specifics as I was in a rush but I think there's a price range specified - either a minimum purchase price for the paid-for games, or a maximum price for the third (free) game. Someone else will have to confirm.
