I got $75 in visa gift cards so i figured i'd get cod4 for $37 from target.

so i go there and see the ps3 one for $37 and i go around to the 360 games and it's not marked down. so i'm lik hmm and ask the employee. he says only the ps3 one is on sale.

so i go look at the ad at the front of the store and it shows a pic of the 360 box art, but next to it it says "PS3 and PC only" so i just left and drove to best buy since it was $37.99 there.

so i go there, and its not marked on sale in the shelf. so i grab the circular and dont see it in there. so i then ask an employee if it's still on sale and he said no it ended on the 24th.

so yea i got owned while trying to get this game on this busy ass day.

i looked online at target.com and the weekly ad for my area clearly says its $37 for 360. so i'm going to go there later again and hopefully tell them the deal and show em the pic in the ad in store that shows the 360 one there. hell it may even ring up for $37 once its scanned.

EDIT

ok i got it.

turns out the worker there was clueless, and i was somewhat too.

when i got there i noticed a sale tag on the bottom corner of the wall of games but it had no games behind it. i looked down there and sure enough it was for cod4.

thing is, they had 2 slots of cod4 in stock at the top of the wall of games, and it says $59.99 there, but they had another slot apparently at the bottom of the wall of games but it was sold out. i figured all the cod4's would be next to eachother but they werent.

and the worker telling me that the 360 one wasnt on sale didn't help either.

so i just snagged it up fro $37.

The 360 version is the picture in the ad. :confused:

It says PC & PS3 on the side because they are not in the picture.

Some people are just idiots.

The target close to me had COD4/360 on sale for 37 but was OOS. Took the ad to walmart and got it there.

ACQUIRED.
