Free after Rebate: Ages of the Empire II from OD

[CocoGdog]

You can get the Microsoft Ages of the Empire II game from Office Depot on sale for $19.99 this week. There is a rebate on Microsoft.com for $20.00 this game until December 31, 2002 (yes 2002!) (printable rebate form; just do a search for the game). If you're smart, there are also some other coupons from Office Depot that might net you this game for better than free (you know 15% off $50.00, etc...).

This game might make an excellent Christmas Gift. Get some of Bill Gate's money and get his software for free LEGALLY...

Great game at a nice price! This will be great for my bro at Xmas.
Thanks!

 

[Sanjoelo]

Cool ! Is this anything like Age of Empires?

 

[Sluggo]

Can anyone get a link to the rebate, MS search and I have a long standing animosity for each other.

 

[CashFlow]

can not find the link to the rebate.

I found this page at the Microsoft site and it says:


<< Unless otherwise noted, you can find a product's mail-in rebate inside the product box once you purchase it. >>



I don't see a printable rebate anywhere so I guess the rebate is supposed to come in the box. Does anyone know for sure if the rebates comes in the copies from OD?

 

[Ransom456]

Be careful. The "Game of the Year" edition of AoE II does not seem to have the rebate.

 

[djoffers]

The rebate is valid whether the box has it or not.

I printed this and sent it in and got the rebate.

 

[igowerf]

Cool. Thanks!

how do I use it as an xmas gift if I have to rip off the box top to get the rebate?

does anyone know if they accept copies?

 

[igowerf]

Good point. I'd just wrap the game with the manual and CD. Who needs the box anyway?

I got one from Staples for same price by doing the price match. The lady there was busying talking to her bf while checking out my item.

 

[carmann]

Argh! I gotta learn to check the board before I go out. I went to OD today and if I had known this I would have picked the game up for my husband. He's addicted to AoE.

 

[jimmyhaha]

I got 15$ off 50 coupon

[0beron]

[Sluggo]

Yeah, Thanks...I needed another totally addiciting game around here. I have just payed it 4 hours straight, going for some more.

 

[Tung]

Use OD free briefcase promotion in some thread here to make it up to $50 - $30(briefcase coupon) - $20(M$MIR), free shipping too.

 

[carmann]

I tried combining the free briefcase with a coupon on a previous order, it didn't work. It would apply 1 offer but not both.

 

[BrintonAA]

Caution: This game is very dangerous, keep away from all school children and working adults. It is incredibly addicting and sucked up over a year of my weekends.... proceed with care when purchasing such an addicting game. lol. Enjoy

 

[wluk]

is the free briefcase offer only good for new customer? i have tried a few times to setup a new account but the briefcase still didn't show up the on the shopping cart?
