For UT2K4 you might want to update your post:
EBGames has a $20 rebate (in store credit).
Upgraders from UT2k3 get an extra $10 mfr rebate.

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

any restrictions on that rebate? (purchase date? buy online or B&M?) I'm at work, and their site is blocked.

 

[papaschtroumpf]

Works online for sure, must be purchased by April 5. There supposedly is a similar rebate instore but I can't find it, I ordered mine online.

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

Is there a beginning date?

Internet? B&M? Date?

 

[ViciouS]

$20 voucher is for the Non Headset non DVD SE Unreal... There are 2 different versions out everyone is getting mixed up.

In the Best Buy flyer this week, the label shows $29.99 for either the regular or DVD edition of UT2K4. If you can use the gamer's gift card coupon for $5 off $19.99+, $24.99+tax out the door for the DVD edition seems like a really nice deal. And if you got the $5 off $25 Gift Card deal from a week or two back, $19.99+tax on $24.99 is even better!

here's the deal I'm planning ....
I bought 2 $15 gift cards in a deal while back for $10 each. I'm going to buy a $30 gamer gift card with those two GCs for $25, get $5 back. Then purchasing the game with the $30 gamer gift card.

My cost? $20, and I get $5 back in either cash or another gift card.

 

[dabuddha]

hmmm I can't decide which to get. Battlefield vietnam or ut2k4

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

both.

 

[mrchan]

what video card am i going to need to play unreal2k4 smoothly? will a GF4 ti 4200 do it?

 

[memepost]

A geforce 4200 worked adequately on the UT2004 demo on default settings, but I just upgraded to a Ati 9800 pro and can tell you that it improved my framerates, especially in Onslaught during heavy firefights.

 

[mrchan]

thanks for the info. if you're looking to get rid of your 4200, send me a PM

 

[Diabolus]

Best Buy has BF Vietnam for $34.99 instore and online, so that makes it semi-hot. I will pick it up to avoid the hassle of waiting another day
