Slick but too much work for me. It's a hassle to get those nubs to price match anything at BB let alone apply a coupon right after that. :frown:
True true...

unless you've already sweet-talked a cute CSR from BB into such a deal before.
Second time around, the whole process is MUCH easier. 😀
 
I was able to PM @ CC. However, I think they make their PM policy painful on purpose ... it took me 30 minutes to checkout!

Had to convince them it was new, not prev. viewed title.
Had to bring printout of local stores so they would call one. (no phonebook)
Had to remind them of their 110% PM policy.
goofball CSR actually helped another customer in the middle of our transaction
... FINALLY, I'm standing there just watching him do some other stuff, asked him wtf? CSR: "Oh, I'm waiting for the register to reboot" 😕

Anyhow, got it for $18 inc tax!
 
got Mech Assault, Metroid Prime, and Madden 2k3 for $50 out the door. The guy was nice enough to give me his 20% employee discount 🙂
 
This is no good in Huntsville, AL area... 🙁

The only place that actually sells the games is near me, but they ring up 49.99.... sonofa....

🙁
 
Sweet. As much as I hate Blockbuster I don't mind getting a good deal from them. I want MechAssault.

Mechwarriors II back in the day was dope. I remember staying up til like 4am playing w/ guys on my dorm floor.
 
In case you're wondering, this deal is still on (at least in Seattle). On my way in to Best Buy, I gave Blockbuster a call to check on price. They said it was $19.99. Then, I pricematched at Best Buy for a pre-tax price of $16.99! Thanks Lee3Dee! Now I've got something to play on XBOX live besides Whacked.
 
I've called around Roanoke Virginia and most places don't even sell many new xbox games. If anyone would be willing to pick me up a copy of Mech Assault I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I picked up MGS2, MP, and Mechassault for $19.99 each. The deal is still alive in the NW suburbs of Chicago.
I think Max Payne is a platinum hits title (ie: $20 everywhere), if that's MGS2:Substance, $20 is pretty good (I think it's $30 at BB)

I meant to say that I picked up Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, Metroid Prime, and Mechassault for $20 each. I wasn't talking about Max Payne. I actually bought that for PC a LONG time ago.
