I noticed this as well, but CDkeys (I think that's the name) is selling XBL 12 month subs for like $32 and you get 5% off if you like them on Facebook.

 

[Tizoc]

Can't access site from work but does this apply to digital codes as well?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Meh, when is Target or BB gonna bother with b1g1 25% off again? It's been like a year.

Yes I would strongly recommend not buying a year of XBL at $54 as you can regularly get it for $35

This thread is intended more for those who buy digital and would like to save 10% off everything they buy that way

I don't believe Best Buy sells anything but physical cards for this sort of thing?

 

[adamantypants]

Yeah last time I bought cards off of Best Buy, they were physical. I always use these sales to stock up my steam wallet.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Last few times I've been to Best Buy, they have had packs of three XBL $15 gift cards and one bonus $5 gift card together priced at $45 (the net value of the gift cards being $50). This is basically the same deal.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Don't bother with Xbox monies, you can buy a box of Golden Crisp and get $10 off a purchase $25 or more instead on the Microsoft store. Email deliveries too.

 

[jmdajr]

Fuck could have used the psn sale.

 

[Exile20]

Damn, BB what happened to you 20% off eshop card sales?

free money is free money I guess.

 

[CoachKevin]

Codename Steam worth $16 with the updates for speed?

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Can I buy I store? Actually going to Best Buy in an hour or two.

 

[Exile20]

Limited quantities at the 4-hour sale price. While supplies last. Online only.

 

[FlashFlooder]

You can buy these online and choose in-store pickup

 

[Toki767]

Meh, when is Target or BB gonna bother with b1g1 25% off again? It's been like a year.

Probably never again. The last time Target had a sale, it was B1G1 10% off. I think they learned.

 

[Briarios]

Ordered a PSN card ... Hopefully, they send out the Play discount code soon, so I can stack the discounts.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Is the extra 2.5% off really that big of a deal?

 

[wild wild rice]

Codename Steam worth $16 with the updates for speed?

Absolutely.

 

[bumpkin]

Codename Steam worth $16 with the updates for speed?

The reviews seem to be all over the place. Some praise it for being imaginative and having funny dialog, others crap on it because its RPG elements are light (compared to its maker's pedigree, Fire Emblem) and that the combat can be dull. I tried the demo from the eShop way back and wasn't strongly in one camp or the other. It's very tempting at that price tag though.

I have been needing to buy some eShop credit, so there's at least one thing in this sale I can go for!

 

[lt519]

Stack with American Express 25 off 250 deal if you have it but beware they usually do at least 15% on Black Friday for eShop cards.

 

[GobFather]

For Ps Plus. Does it get cheaper around Black Friday or is this a good enough price to stock up on? Thanks in advance

 

[TheSlySoul]

Could not resist Codename S.T.E.A.M. for $16, so grabbed that and a points card.

 

[HawksWinStanley]

We'll probably see $40 around BF. I don't think it's ever gone lower than that since the $30 sale they had when the PS4 launched.

?? What's this 25 off $250 business.

 

[MauroNL]

Damn, no email delivery. Still looking for some deal on US$ Xbox Live money, but I'm not from the US so most deals aren't accessible for me. Ah well.

 

[Bad_Boy]

Is this online only? Im about to go to best buy to pick up mgs5, mind as well get a psn card.

 

[Oozer3993]

Is this online only? Im about to go to best buy to pick up mgs5, mind as well get a psn card.

Yes, it's online only. And I'm in the same boat. Picking up MGSV after work and my PS+ runs out in two weeks. Great timing on the sale for me. Serendipity, that. I ordered a 12 month code for pickup.

 

[border]

Meh, when is Target or BB gonna bother with b1g1 25% off again? It's been like a year.

B1G1 25% off is effectively only a 12.5% discount. I don't think it's work waiting around for an extra couple of points.

 

[Cruxist]

Well, I saved $4 on my brothers birthday present! Got him Xbox cards for the Destiny expansion.

 

[Chris R]

Nice, nabbed $100 in steambucks to fuel my dotohat addiction

 

[Marty Chinn]

It always amazes me how people get caught up with the the percentage off, especially if the word free is involved, without distributing the discount evenly to see what the real discount is.

 

[gar3]

$100 Steam
$25 Xbox Currency
$20 PSN

Was debating about two $10 eShop cards for two of my four children but at only a $1 savings each, meh.
Thanks for the head's up, OP!

 

[KevinG]

Need that year of PS+ a bit cheaper.

 

[KevinG]

For Ps Plus. Does it get cheaper around Black Friday or is this a good enough price to stock up on? Thanks in advance

I stocked up for a couple years on Black Friday a few years ago. $30 for a year. Waiting on a deal similar.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

How long does it take to redeem said coupon?

Get a specially marked boxed of Golden Crisp, open it, use the code at checkout on the Microsoft store. It's immediate.

B1G1 25% off is effectively only a 12.5% discount. I don't think it's work waiting around for an extra couple of points.

I always buy cards at $20 or more and I buy two at a time for eShop and Steam. I don't use them right away so the more savings (even if tiny) the better.

 

[jacobeid]

dammit. I would buy a $20 card for Firewatch (assuming that it's a $20 title.....) but I don't have my gift card on me at work

 

[n00bsauce87]

Cool deal, but I think I can get better than 10% for my PSN stuff on Black Friday

 

[3rdamention]

Meh, when is Target or BB gonna bother with b1g1 25% off again? It's been like a year.

Lol, you would rather have B1G1 25% when you get 20% off all gaming with GCU?


B1G1 is 12.5% each item. GCU is 20% off of each item.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

B1G1 is 12.5% each item. GCU is 20% off of each item.

GCU doesn't apply to gift cards or controllers or sustems though, right? If I'm buying gift cards they're for digital anyway.

 

[Marty Chinn]

I always buy cards at $20 or more and I buy two at a time for eShop and Steam. I don't use them right away so the more savings (even if tiny) the better.

It seems so little to hold out for or worry about when it's only 50 cents. 2.5% is minuscule in savings.

 

[Noobcraft]

I got 2 $50 Xbox gift cards for $90. Going towards Forza 6.

 

[nicoga3000]

Just a reminder bump.

Had $15 in BB credit, so I got $100 of PSN money for $75. Thanks for the post OP.

 

[AP90]

Thanks! Just bought $75 worth. Had $20 in gift/reward points. So total cost was $47.50

Edit: Mine is going towards QB and RotTR =D

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

Going to pick up at the nearest store an eShop $30 pack for $17 due to the sale and rewards certificates. Thanks OP!

 

[Blackstarhat]

arrant those keys pirated.

 

[Darryl M R]

Do you have to pay taxes on PSN cards? I might order a $50 card and have it be sent to me.

You're all very welcome

Sale ends in 20 minutes I believe

No you shouldn't be charged tax on it

 

[kms_md]

Had $45 in RZ so picked up $100 in steam for $45. Thanks OP.

 

[Art Vandilay]

arrant those keys pirated.

I've read mostly positive things regarding the site, but I've seen some people complain about keys not working and customer support taking a while to respond. I'd advise some independent research before pulling the trigger on a purchase. However, it seems to be legit.

 

[Darryl M R]

Does this stack with other coupons?
