Just called my local Target, Stockyards Toronto, and MK 8 wasn't on sale. Only Toys and cloths. Someone care to confirm or find a loophole?

A few posts above mentioned that MK8 is not part of the deal.

Was at Centerpoint at 8:05.

Windwaker - Yes. $25
NSMBU - Yes. $25
MK8 - NOPE
Pro Controller - OOS

In fact, it looks like all the labels from last week (actually less) were applied back. And of course the stock didn't get added back.

Do you remember seeing any XBone stock on sale?

Hmm. Someone on Red Flag had a list of games on sale there.

Didn't mention Mario Kart though. They did have GT6 for $30. I might head there to grab that.

Definitely a YMMV, both for stock and game that is discounted. I've never seen Tales of the Abyss at any of the 4 Targets here (Centerpoint, Hillcrest, Aurora, Newmarket) But yes, this is identical to the list that was last week.

Wii Remotes are $20, and Nunchuck and Pedometer are 10

The Wii U Party, if you do see it, is a steal, because it's the remote bundle with the game.

Hopefully I can find it at a Target north shore of Montreal (anyone? ;) and use the extra 5$ coupon on it.

I bought Ryse at 20$ earlier this week and DR3 is the next one I want. I know BB had a 3 for 99$ sale but I didn't care about a 3rd game.

Question: I want to order a screen protector from best buy but avoid shipping. If I add something like Trine 2 Directors Cut (Wii U) to my order can I cancel it once I receive the screen protector or will they bill me for the shipping if I try to do so?


The Wii U Party, if you do see it, is a steal, because it's the remote bundle with the game.

check staples for the wii u party. they can be found for $10 with wii mote.
 
Yup and just wait for those items to be shipped from Bestbuy, Futureshop and of course Amazon. I think I might not visit the thread during those dates lol

FS/BB probably everyone orderer from them in the past and they know what to expect. However, Amazon is a whole new story. Some people have no idea how late they can ship, lol.

Hi guys. I preordered 9 games from Best Buy and saw that awesome deal with the Reward Zone. I didn't have a reward zone membership going, so I registered afterward. Will I still get the points if I registered for Reward Zone after I preordered all the games?

Also, how does the Reward Zone work? Do I have to link my BestBuy account to my Reward Zone account? I'm not sure I fully understand lol.

Is your rewards zone membership ID listed on your preorders?

I think you need to have had it ahead of time.

You might be able to edit your number into your orders. Also, did you remember to sign up for Gamers Club to get double points on games?

No :( Do you think I could write to BestBuy CS? It's 180$ after all.

Hmmm. How can I edit my orders? And yes I signed up for Gamers Club!

Geez, I just did the tally for games releasing in 2014 alone, and I preordered about $400 worth. That's way more than I was expecting. This is gonna be rough. And the crazy part is they are almost entirely Wii U and 3DS games... the only exception is Freedom Wars...

I can't even imagine how bad it'd be if I were getting XB1 and/or PS4 stuff too.

Code:
August: Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright ($31.49)
September: Hyrule Warriors ($45.49), Theatrhythm Curtain Call ($31.49)
October: Smash Bros 3DS ($26.77), Fantasy Life ($27.99), Bayonetta 2 ($38.67)
November: Pokemon Alpha Sapphire ($26.77)
Fall 2014: Persona Q ($34.99)
Holiday 2014: Captain Toad (temp $41.81), Smash Bros Wii U ($38.67)
TBA 2014: Freedom Wars ($20.90), Story of Seasons ($31.49)

Yes, but you should be able to register your orders after the fact on the Reward Zone site in the worst case (you need your invoice number, which you should have on the order status page or in emails). But since Best Buy doesn't even record RZ points until they ship out, you might be able to edit the orders (or your account) with an RZ account number anyways.

Keep the Reward Zone site in mind, though, since even people who attached their account properly have had problems with points awarding properly. You might have to use it regardless!

You should had just ordered the games that you want and use their live chat if you have any games that you want to add. Thats what I did with my amazon order but too bad they can't add (or they just dont want to) any items to my 30% off order.

Final Total: 1075.63
Average at $41.37 per game.
Decided to crunch some numbers too.
If I had bought all my E3 games at regular price I would have spent almost exactly $1000 ($999.90) including tax. Instead I'm spending $665.65, which is a savings of 334.25 (33.4%). Average game is $42.08.

Not too shabby!

Login to check your order status, click on the order number, and look to the lower right and see if it gives you the option to enter a reward zone number for the order.

If that doesn't work, you probably could just e-mail their customer service with your reward zone number and order numbers to ask if they can add it for you.

I've been looking for the following games, anyone could tell me if they're part of the Target deal? Bonus points if in the Montreal area.

They are:

Fire Emblem Awakening
Kirby Triple Deluxe
Mario Tennis Open

You can add in your purchases once you have the receipt (so when they ship) in the RewardZone site. I imagine that works for pre-orders too.

Yeah, seems like I'm saving over 600 calculating things with tax. (based on MSRP)

I was taking the subway in Toronto recently and I saw a guy with a Monster Hunter 4 shirt playing a Vita, it was like seeing a unicorn.

I emailed Amazon about applying additional discount to the order I placed before the "fixed" everything but they wont do it. I was looking at my order and I had a question, how will they price/charge the items when each of them individually ship? Before the promotions are applied each game is pretty expensive.
 
6 games from Amazon:

Witcher 3
Pokemon OR
Pokemon AS
Dragon Age
Smash Wii U
Smash 3DS ($51 for some reason)

Was going to get Zelda and Starfox from BB but ran into the expiry date thing and I figure I could just pre-order them next year.
