Called Staples around 7:15 AM EST on 7/14 and for a second I thought my luck had run out. Due to high demand, the game is not available... for next day shipping, so they'll have to ship it from further away, which means 2 day delivery. Got it for $26.38 shipped (to NJ). The CSR noted that this is a very popular game, not sure if she was referring to the last week and a half or to the last 24 hours. Thanks rubenswm!

called in the price matching thing work, but the coupon is not in the database. I called the staples 1800 number, did you all call the staples store? Is that coupon actually for all stores or just the one in New jersey?

That coupon is for the New Jersey area ONLY. Some people may have got around this at first, but now that so many people are ordering them there starting to catch on wont except the $15.00 off $30.00 coupon code unless you live in the NJ area.

Just got off the phone. Everything worked out perfectly (my third time trying). The sales rep didn't mention anything about New Jersey. I told him gogamer.com (I don't think he had ever heard of it!) and he put me on hold while he researched it. Then he said it was alright and he took my coupon as well. The total came out to $25 and some change. Keep trying!

Can we just pricematch the game to the B&M stores? I'll be happy taking it for 35 bucks without the hassle if I can just get the game now....

I got lucky, they gave it to me. I'm not too sure if they are doing this a friend of mine ordered a switch from them this morning with that same code and it worked just fine.

BTW it is possible they simply placed your order on hold and didn't tell you. They've been instructed to do that until Monday.

Yeah, In fact that may be a much better choice.

I just talked to a csr and he told me that I couldn't use the coupon, since I live in CA. I guess they are aware of it now. He also told me that all orders are on hold until the corporate company allows the shipment on monday.

Good luck to those people who got it in.

Hey try and get Trish or Trisha, I forgot which one it is. Well anyways she didn't mind doing the pricematch and she even said she thinks she shouldn't really even be
doing it but she didn't care [DISGRUNTAL EMPLOYEE OF STAPLES PROLLY]. Well none the less she sold it to me for 29.99. The funny thing is that I live in colorado and theres only 1 staples here and its about 2 hours away from where I live. I feel sorry for that staples dude that has to come all the way outhere to deliver it.

Okay just got a call from them. It didn't work b/c gogamer.com is not a valid internet site (why???) and the coupon is instore only. I though gogamer was completely valid and I thought the coupon was by telephone only. So they asked if I would buy it for $60 and I said no. Staples sucks, I'm just gonna go into one of their stores and do a pm.

Scored 3 !!!

Went to my local staples in Portland today morning, they just re-instocking WC3, not even on shelf yet. PM to www.nothingbutsoftware.com for $34.75, so I buy 3 of them and something else to $150. used $30 off coupon, so my final price for each WC3 copy will be:

34.75x3=104.25 - $30= 74.25/3 = $24.75 EACH

still great deal for me, but could be lower if the manager let me PM with 110%. He won't do that for me, well why keep argue for 10% when I got 3 WC3 hot deals.

Good luck to you all at B&M. :):D

i couldn't price match to gogamer.com because staples said it wasn't in stock. so i pricematched to nothingbutsoftware.com $46 (their shipped price). 110% pricematch and the price was down to ~$41. -$15 from phone order coupon and the final price (minus tax and shipping) $29.
