Re: Official Gaming Deals Thread

Looks like the $39.99 plus card might not have been such a great deal. They sent a tracking number the next day that never moved. Eventually they emailed saying the tracking number was sent in error and the card would ship sometime in the next week. So I emailed them asking for some more concrete details and they said they could email the code instead. Great, that should cut days off this process, right? They tell me they will email me the code sometime NEXT week. It feels like they are just stalling for time. I'm guessing they hoped the cards would be on sale again black Friday for $29.99 and when it wasn't they realized they screwed themselves and are now delaying hoping people will just request a refund rather than demanding one through ebay and singing their account.

Re: Official Gaming Deals Thread

I'm not, my last response was why it would take an extra week to email me a code

Re: Official Gaming Deals Thread

But in reality why would it take an extra week to just send it in the regular mail? I have bought plenty of different things from eBay and I have never had one thing take longer then 3 business days to ship. There is a problem all together with that. And I totally agree if they can just email the code it is absolutely ridiculous that they can't send it right away. Especially if they have already been in contact with you through message or email.

Wolfenstein The New Order PlayStation 4 is $24.99 on Amazon right now.


I had Best Buy match it. I also removed it from my B2G1 free deal and put another game in its place.

Someone has to package, address, and stamp something....if they have tons of orders there could be delays....

That's what you get when you go with smaller type companies or whatever.

It was going to take an extra week to email the code. They got back to me and said that was a typo, that an emailed code would be here this week. That's acceptable. I will say they've been communicating, I guess we will see if I get something this week, if not I will get a refund through ebay/PayPal. As long as I get a code, I'm ok, it's ridiculous that it took two weeks, but at least they delivered.

I am sooo tempted to get Wolfenstein but I think I've reached my limit on unplayed games so far. Since Black Friday I bought, NBA 2k15, The evil within,Dragon Age 3, Little big planet3, Farcry 4, Metro Redux and assassins creed unity all for PS4 , Plus have Batman, evolve and The Order 1886 pre ordered. I think I'm in over my head! lol!

Re: Official Gaming Deals Thread

Just took advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free offer from bestbuy. Picked up GTA 5 (PS4) , LBP 3 , and Dragon Age III. With my GCU membership with tax, total came out to $104 . Since I already had GTA 5 myself (digital) I bought GTA 5 and LBP 3 for my son for Xmas. Dragon Age III was just an added bonus.

Yeah same here except I bought them all and now ADD struck as far as Dragon Age. Played non stop for a while but now ready to move on.
I got DA,FC4,GTAV, NBA2K15, LBP, TOAD, MK8 and SMB3D...
Now I just stare at the boxes deciding what I want to play... then fire up Netflix.
Actually I've played LBP the most in recent days. Just a relaxing fun game..
Knew it was going to happen but didn't want to pass on the deals.

As I look at my pile of unopened games, I know this is it for me for a while. I am more than over my head with new games right now. I will have plenty to do over Christmas break lol.

Man, sounds exactly like me, Sky. Way too many games and systems (just bought a BC Wii so now I've added GameCube and Wii games I to the mix, on top of PS3, PS2, Vita, 360, 3DS/DS and GBA games) and I have a hard time deciding, so I'll usually just watch WWE Network or Netflix. When I do play, it's usually MLB The Show, so I really question why I buy all of these other games.

But, when I see a game for sale that I have a slight interest in, I can't seem to pass it up.

I need more time to play these games and I need to play and finish a game before buying another one.

Re: Official Gaming Deals Thread

Does anyone know how long the GTA V and Last of us PS4 bundle would still be available?

Re: Official Gaming Deals Thread

I posted this in the PlayStation 4 thread, but shoot let's do it here too...

I have a thought to take advantage of the Best Buy B2G1F promotion, but I have a question:

I got GTA V twenty-ish days ago, meaning I'm obviously still in the clear to return my original purchase. Obviously it's opened, so if I get a new copy with COD: AW and LBP 3, I can return the unopened copy with my original receipt. Nothing new there. Though I also received a 500 points ($10) pre-order bonus with this game as well, so in the end I'll have gotten my two new games for about $40 total (all things considered, since I already "own" GTA V in my head).

The only thing I'm questioning is if I return this copy, do I lose my 500 pre-order points? Curious about this one, since the points have already been issued to me, and I figure just cashing in the points will bring me in the red for points if I make this return. Curious as to who knows about this. I'd rather feel like I paid $40 instead of $50, and if it's $50 I might consider getting another game instead of re-issuing GTA V, maybe like NBA 2K15.

Gracias for anyone who can help!
