Bingo. of course if I had a ps4 I would just get that version lol.

speaking of ps4, when I was inside of Gamestop the other day I saw that they had a layaway program for ps4. $25 down and you have until December 19 to pay it off.

really thinking about doing this.

If you have the credit, get a Best Buy CC and get it. 12 month no interest financing and you actually get to take the system home with you day one.

Yeah, to me that is the way to go if you don't want to shell out $400-plus right away.

Re: Official Gaming Deals Thread

My feeling is that if you can't afford $400 right away then you probably shouldn't be buying it.

Some people don't like dropping $400 at once. I could do it if I wanted to, but why should I when I can make non-interest payments for 12 months, allowing me to continue to build my savings while not taking a big hit at once?

Everyone has their own budget. I have that mentality for larger purchases, like a new refrigerator, tv, etc. I don't consider a $400 console a large purchase. Not to mention a console isn't a necessity like a stove, fridge, etc. This mentality is more so for the layaway thing. I don't have as much as an issue with using a BB cc with 0% financing. If you have to put a console on layaway you probably shouldn't be buying it.
As for me, consoles, or in my most recent case, a new surround sound system from BB, I used my BB cc but I'll gladly take the extra rewards points over the financing. I just got a $45 cert a few days ago from that surround sound purchase.

Re: Official Gaming Deals Thread

Some people put things in layaway because it's not a necessity right now, but they may like it in the future. People put gifts on layaway all the time because they don't need said product right now, so it makes a lot more sense to pay a little here and a little there until they need it. $400 is absolutely a large purchase. Not everyone makes $20 an hour.

Re: Official Gaming Deals Thread

Does it really matter what way a person makes a purchase? To each their own.

Re: Official Gaming Deals Thread

Tell your friend to go to a post office and ask them for "Change Of Address Movers Packet". Inside of that envelope will be coupons and 1 will be a 10% off of a single item at BestBuy.

Make sure Systems are included on that. I know they've been known to leave Video Game Systems off of the eligibility list.

I used one when I bought mine. No problems.

Exactly. Smh anyway........

thanks BigBob, but I wouldn't get approved which is why I was thinking of doing it this way. If that was the case I would have been had one :-).

Re: Official Gaming Deals Thread

Does anybody know if BestBuy price matches on pre-orders? My google-fu is weak on this one.

Seen this at slickdeals:


Purchase Target $1 Preorder Card and get $20 off Call of Duty Ghosts: As low as $1.99 YMMV

<!-- google_ad_section_start --> Currently, If you purchase a $1 preorder card for COD: Advanced Warfare, you will get a $20 Discount on Call of Duty Ghosts from Target (In Store).

Target.com is currently cheaper than Target In-Store. First, price match Call of Duty Ghosts with Target.Com.

Current Prices are:

Call Of Duty Ghosts PS4 $33.49
Call Of Duty Ghosts PS3 $22.49
Call Of Duty Ghosts XBox 360 $20.99
Call Of Duty Ghosts XBox One $23.49

Then add the $1 Pre-Order Card for $20 Off. With the $1 Pre-Order, this will bring the cost to:

PS4 Version - $14.49
PS3 Version - $3.49
360 Version - $1.99
XBox One Version - $4.49

Definitely YMMV, but its been reported working since the computer allows it (but the employee needs to "approve" it).

You can even extend the deal even further by trading in Ghosts at Best Buy with their 50% trade in bonus. For example, purchase XBox One vesrion for $4.49 and get $33.00 at Best Buy ($22.00 + 50% Trade In Bonus) referenced in this Slickdeals thread
