On the CompUSA page it shows the instant rebate being valid through 9/20.

Would it be just better to wait for the bundle that comes with the expansion too?
I don't think so. road to rome is only 20 normally, so 20 + 20 is less than the deluxe version anyway. i bought road to rome, and it was 2 weeks before i even was in a game that used one of the maps from it. i think i have played on the rtr maps less than 10 times total.

No scans needed, is starting today, sale is today. Looks like they have Battlefield 1942 for $20, and Secret Weaps for $20. Dang good price for 1942, its been out over a year and still pretty impossible to find it for less than $40 or $50. EA likes to keep prices way too high.
BTW this price is INSTANT sale, NO REBATES!!
For those who say that this is to clear stock for deluxe, I dont think thats the case. My compusa had a huge amount of these boxes (probably 30 at least). I think its just to advertise that they have Secret Weaps expansion and the game all at $20 each.
Also even though the web site at compusa says sold out, type in your zipcode to check local store. I'm thinking they want people to get it at thier local B&M, and not go order it online.
As for waiting for the bundle deluxe edition, its going to be MORE than $40, and it will only include Road to Rome not secret weaps. So no, cheaper to get 1942 for $20 and find RTR for $20 as well somewhere.

They need to make a GotY edition of BF1942 and lock it at this price point. For 19.99 I might pick up another copy just for the license. Plus with a GotY edition you could score it @ BB with the 5 off coupon for 14.99. Desert Combat is a FREE expansion pack, as I view it 🙂 Who needs the others?

hmm 15 out the door very tempting.. so i get it at bestbuy and then show them the ad?
I bought BF1942 the day it came out as well as RTR. I've had plenty of problems since then none of which were insurmountable until now. I simply cannot play it. It asks for a CD that is should see but doesn't. It appears to be a problem with XP, Nforce2 boards and the patches 1.4 and 1.5. It's great having spent so much money for a game that right now I can't even play.
I used a CD crack to get it going for version 1.4 but unless there are now some floating around out there for 1.5 also (last time I checked there weren't) I'm stuck playing the SW demo to get my BF fix in.
Don't get me wrong I think this is the most fun computer game ever made and is truly digital crack. I've wasted many hours and sleepless nights playing. Rather frustrating to shell out my money for a game that the maker won't fix all of the problems with. I've seen others with the same issue on other forums so I know I am not an isolated case.
Unless I can get my issues worked it it certainly makes little sense to go pick up the SW expansion when I can't play it! Too bad because it's great fun in the demo.

Aaargh! I've been waiting to find a decent price on this and now it's out of stock. That's what I get for not checking the boards all weekend. Unfortunately the nearest CompUSA is over 90 miles away so BB won't pm. I hope they get more in before the sale ends. For those that bought online, how much was shipping?
