UT2003 $17.97+tax PM and YMMV

[papaschtroumpf]

My local Toy 'R Us (Westminster CO) has UT 2003 for $19.98.
My local CC has it for $39.99 (price tag says $44.99 but rang at $39.99)

Ask CC to PM Toy R US, becasue of their 100% pricematch guarantee, final price is $17.97 + tax.

The Toy 'R Us price was not advertized, so I brought the Toys R Us phone number with me and the CC rep did call.

Price on the Tpy R US shelf was a different color (red or orange, I can't remember) so it may be a local clearance, which is why this is YMMV.
Please post if your local Toys R Us carries UT2003 for that price to.

If you have (or know someone who has) a phat pr0n pipe to download the Bonus Maps and Bonus Packs, then this is a very good deal. The game itself was a yawn, but with the extra game modes and maps of the Bonus Pack, it's gotten really fun online.

Great price! Maybe I should pick up another copy for LAN gaming ... .

Good deal. But why pricematch at CC? Why not just buy it at Toys R Us?
Or am I missing something?

Well, I think the original poster (OP) meant to say that CC has a 110% pm guarantee. So, you'd save a few bucks, I think.

Actually, find the store with the highest price and then PM it. The higher the price the more $ you save. I know there are other retailers that offer 110% price guarantee.

 

[papaschtroumpf]

Yeah, basically the pricematch saves a few bucks, since I thought that CC had it for $44.99 as labelled, I would have saved..... $2.50!
Honestly, the main reason I did the pricematch was that CC is on my way back from work, whereas as Toys 'R US is 15 miles away and I wasn't sure I wanted the game yet when I first saw it there, so I hadn't grabbed it.
I thought you guys would just appreciate the PM, which makes it the best price to date as far as I know.

this IS for PC right, i'm looking on toysrus.com (amazon) and they only sell stuff for consoles there... just wanted to make sure.

 

[Ph34rful]

So all I need is Toys R Us's phone number for the CC person to call and verify?

 

[papaschtroumpf]

Yes it is for PC.
No I couldn't find it on their web site (although they have unreal II) but it was on the shelf in the store.
Yes all you have to do is have the CC rep call Toy R US.
The only reason I added YMMV to the original post is because I didn't know if the $20 price was a national thing. I still don't know if it is but others have been reporting it too.

in summary here's what you do:
1) get the phone number for your local Toys R US (if you live in a big city there may be more than one)
2) call them and see if they carry UT2003 for PC and ask what price it is (mine was $19.98)
3) Purchase the product at CC
4) go straight to the customer service desk and ask for their 110% primatch with Toys R US, provide the Toys R US phone number you call if they want to check on the price.

Note that you may be able to do steps 3 & 4 at once, i.e. don't pre-purchase but ask for the pricematch at the time you buy. I believe CC's policy for 110% still applies, but this is a habit I got into because of Best Buy: my BB store won't do the 110% pricematch if you haven't previously purchased the item.

 

[Ph34rful]

Hrm. I just called my Toys R Us... And dude said the price was $29.98...
Either this isn't national. Or dude just looked at the sticker and didn't ring it up...

 

[Ph34rful]

Sweet. I just called Toys R Us again... (a different one this time)
And made sure they checked what it rang up as... $19.99!
I am off to CC.

 

[Winchester]

anyone have the SKU #

 

[Mallow]

I think you can get HL for around this price at many places now too!

 

[Fam]

just called the toys r us in mechanicsburg, pa and they have them for $19.98 too. me and a couple of coworkers are going to pick up copies when we go to lunch.

 

[Ph34rful]

I'm back... Worked perfect. Even though it took the CC person forever to figure everything out...
Came out right under $20. (I had a gift card for $20 so it worked out perfect!) Thanks for this great deal!

 

[Fam]

we just got back and got mine for $17.99 at cc. it took him a while in the back so i figured he wouldn't match it because two friends had bought the last two in stock at toysrus. good luck for me and my friend his manager okayed the pm even though toysrus is outta stock.

i gotta give props to papaschtroumpf because i almost bought this a couple of weeks ago for $35 instead i only paid $19.07 after tax. oh yeah you were right about the tags at toysrus because the orange one on the box says "new low price" of $29.98 but the green tag on the shelf says $19.98.

 

[Aztech]

Picked it up for $19.99 at Toys R Us. On the shelf it said $29.99. I was so tired of the two demo levels. Thanx!

 

[pspada]

I was going to go get this puppy today, but instead blew $835 on a root canal. I'll give this a shot tomorrow and report back.

 

[duuuma]

confirmed in Austin and Houston. $19.99 -- thanks!!!

 

[pspada]

I attempted the PM at Fry's - they called the local Toys R Us, who told them they did not stock it!

 

[Growltiger]

Thanks for the post Papaschtoumpf (what a name!)! I just got back from Toys R Us in Memphis on my way home. They had 1 copy left and it is mine. I didn't feel it was worth the time to PM to some other place.
