I heard some stores, especially in CA are selling out. If you want to try the coupon, but want to make sure you get them either way, order them in advance at stores that have em. Then go in and worst case you just need to return and rebuy. That way you're guaranteed they're there for you when you go there.

Just got in on this deal. Bought WoW and a 60 day game card for $23.50 shipped after using $23 in BB bucks.

So it should be 90 days of WoW for $23.50... not bad :)

I've been wanting to try this out for a while, now I will get to.

I picked up 10 cards at B&M for a total of $210.09 out the door. That's $10.50/mo. My wife and I will be saving $7/mo for 10 months (both on quarterly rebill @ $14/mo).

I'm still hella surprised anybody would ever actually try to grab anything out of anyone else's hands though...that's just really really ridiculous...I mean I've been at lots of Black Friday events and nothing like that has ever happened.

Speaking of asian people and deal-hunting, one time I had just gotten out of best buy on black friday, and had picked up a copy of the simpsons season 1, right before seeing this group of Chinese teenagers grab the whole box of them. I wasn't pissed since I had my copy, but at any rate I kept thinking about it for the rest of the morning (since there was a whole huge box of like 20). I think they also took some other DVDs I had been thinking about going back to get.

So later on I was in front of OfficeMax, waiting in line, and I was like "I can't believe those goddamn asians took all those DVDs!". And the asian people behind me (not the same asian people, just other asian people) turned around to glare at me or yell or something (I could tell they were all ready to glare hardcore) and then they realized I was asian, lol. So nothing really came of it other than that I got to see them all ready to glare me to death and then realize I didn't mean it in a racist way-I just meant "those goddamn asians" as in that group of asian people who had jacked the DVDs. They were little kids anyways (like 17) so it's not like I was actually serious about it-just ranting to my friends while freezing my butt off in the cold.

Anyways, do you think gold farmers really hit up Best Buy and then send the codes out to China?!

Uhh you could have just bought more than one gift card then just used them in separate orders...the cashiers usually don't care I don't think.

1. Wow, that was the killer. Wonder what would have happened if you weren't Asian...guess we can't really stop prejudice or racism. :|

V for Vendetta! V for Vietnamese!

2. Yes, I do think gold farmers hit up ANY store that sells WoW time cards for cheap. I wouldn't think they would send it to China (I mean, who are you going to give it to in China?). :p

1) I would probably have been yelled at, lol. I think they thoguht I was a white guy because they probably just saw my friend who was with me (hmm not to fuel stereotypes but he's jewish) and kinda assumed I was white too or something.

2) Wait, are you saying that there are Gold Farmers who live in the USA? I don't think you'd make nearly enough money to justify it-so that's why I think the guy was just gonna scratch off the cards and e-mail the codes over to someone who runs a farming operation in China, because they can't really buy the cards over there for US servers.

Holy crap! There are farming OPERATIONS in China?!?! May God have mercy on us all... Wow, perhaps I underestimated the power of China...I take back my statement.

BB in Tustin,CA was soldout... I mean.. you nerds i would never pay to play a computer game i bought. MMORPG's are for chumps...


I asked about stock, the guy gave me a depressed (not this again) look, so i'm guessing it's happened lots to him today.

so I went but they were mysteriously out of the gamer gift cards (had every other type of gift card possible...even some Xbox only one).
Ended up caving and buying 2 at 19.99 anyways. Oh well

That was a computer glitch you experienced... that's not really owning BB, unless you knew in advance and had someone who you had to convince to allow it at that price.

Thanks OP for posting. Awesome deal. Got some myself for pickup.

Get off your high horse.

Best Buy has screwed enough people over that nobody should take any offense it. See: http://www.bestbuysux.org if you don't agree. Granted, it's impolite to rag on employees, but perhaps you should look to your own spelling and grammar before you knock anyone else.

I think you want: jeez, not 'geese'.

</rant>
Anyway, props OP, nabbed a couple for myself; I'm tired of paying 16$ / month !

Glad we can always take advantage of that Games Gift Card and its coupon!
