The set includes Starcraft and Broodwars as well as two strategy guides. You can order it online or go to the B&M to get it. $22 instant savings. For those of you who wanted to play the game, you probably already have the game... =) My freaking brother lent out my real copies, so I've been forced to play on burned copies... $8 ain't much so I might as well grab it.

Half Life is also at $8...

I rarely play games but I think I am going to give a visit CompUSA tomorrow and pick them up along with the CDR/W.

This has been posted twice already, but it is an awesome deal!

good luck getting a copy...dont gripe that its all sold out within the first 10 minutes of opening.

especially on HalfLife.

The store near me(industry ca) has only 2 copies of halflife...im getting 1, so only 1 available.

so good LUCK!

good deal on starcraft, after all these years its still my favorite game

 

[1greatguy]

gotta love starcraft + a good price *bump*

wonder when warcraft 3 will be out . . .

 

[aceO07]

woohhoo!! i'm out the door!! thanks!

there are a ton of half-life left at the Monrovia, CA store. There were only 3 Starcraft Battlechests left. Well, 2 now, since I got one. If you buy Half-life, you might as well get Pharoh also since it's also $8. Then you can send in for $25 rebate for buying 2 Sierra games! So, you get 2 games and a profit of $9!

 

[kgatwork]

The rebates states that "Rebate amount may not exceed the retail purchase price of the software title". So you get the games for free.

Yeah, I know it was posted, that's why I posted the link above to the original thread. Anyway, I bought the SC Battlechest for my little cousin at around 30min. before closing and they still had plenty. Guess demand for the games around here isn't as strong as in other places...

Hello

CrapUSA in Kentwood, MI has 10-12 of each on a separate display in the East side of the store.

 

[lamchop9]

rpzero, thanks for the info on the Monrovia store. I think I'll hit that before Industry (which supposedly has one left).

 

[saxman]

awesome deal!

 

[bworrell]

Price match with Best Buy. My final price was $5.79.

 

[DDCSpeed]

can bworrell or anybody tell me how you pricematch it to bb? and how did u get it down to 5.69?

 

[aceO07]

i visited yesterday and found 10+ battlechests. they were labeled 29.99$ so maybe that's why there were so many. woohoo.. great deal! didn't think of price matching it.. hehe. still good

You could try to look for games in Mac
section. In our CompUSA (Naperville, IL) they
put few StarCraft in PC section and additional few
StarCraft in Mac section because both
Win/Mac soft is included into the box

good luck

Hey all, if you price match Half Life: Game of the Year Edition at Best Buy, with CompUSA's ad for $7.99, you can get a $10 mail in rebate (make sure to ask the cashier to print it out for you). Therefore, you'll be paid $2 for buying Half Life.

Just thought some of you might care

Actually oreoafk, you can pricematch this deal because the price was in yesterday's newspaper ad.

 

[oreoafk]

sorry what is B&M ? also i can't pricematch compusa with bestbuy because this is an online deal...

 

[lamchop9]

Good idea with the pricematch. I didn't bother. I got Starcraft, HL, and Phraroh at the CompUSA at Montclair, CA. Many copies of HL, Starcraft left.

There's no HL left at Industry, CA.

oreo, B&M stands brick and mortar, the phyisical store..u could pm w/ bestbuy, since it's in the B&M compusa ad..

 

[oreoafk]
