Target: Buy 2 Get 1 Free on all Video Games (11/8-11/14)

I just beat both of those two.
Well worth it in general, I'm pleased with my purchases. Next is Divinity Original Sin/Battlefront and Trails in the Sky SC on my plate.

Pre order some games give you $10 on top of it. It comes out to $38

Everyone should take advantage of this for the following reasons:
1) You get 33% off each game if you maximize the deal by buying three games of the same price. 38% if you use a Target Red Card.
2) There's no reason to not buy three games of the same price even if you don't want the game. Target's B2G1 deal prorates the discount across each game and you an return games you don't want. So you could in theory buy three games, return two and effectively get one game for 33% off
3) Target's return policy window on these will overlap with Black Friday. So if anything you want goes on sale by Black Friday, just buy it then and return the unopened game back to Target to get the better price.
4) All of this locks in you to guarantee you the discount, gives you the flexibility to get better pricing on Black Friday, and to buy exactly what you want and return what you don't.
There's no reason to not do Target's B2G1 free and hold out for Black Friday. You can do both and maximize your savings.

How strict were they about buying stuff and then returning it later for a different game last year? I'd like to pick up Splatoon and Hyrule Warriors, but I don't really have a third WiiU game I want. I do want Xenoblade X in a few weeks though.
Edit: I guess I'll just buy three games and return one. I feel kind of scummy doing it though. It's not the point of these deals and makes them less likely to happen in the future, if people abuse them. Returning something to get a newer game I guess isn't much better.

They won't let you.

They got the boot from Canada specifically because they probably wouldn't bring this here in the first place anyway lol.

Wish Target was still present in Canada. :/

It's entirely possible Best Buy could react to this with a similar offer. Though that may not go into effect until after FO4 launches.

You could get all five. There's no reason you have to get 3 or 6. You can get 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 games with the deal.

Right on time, fallout, syndicate and zestiria are mine!
Funny I was just at my nearest Target last night shopping for stuff and in the games session. I'll be scooping up Nintendo games as always. Got my eye on Chibi Robo: Zip Lash, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, and one other 3DS game. I always look forward to these sales.
If I had a current gen console, I would have gone for Dragon QuestHeroes, Tales of Zesteria, and Nathan Drake Collection.

That would be madness if you could get 20% off and B2G1

You can. Best Buy sales always stack with GCU.

Finally, been waiting for this deal to come around!
Will get Fallout 4, RotTR and still deciding btwn the taken king or blops 3.
These will probably be it for me for the rest of the year

does this count for online too?

I expect Best Buy to follow suit. We always get these 2 for 1 deals with the Holidays coming up.

Target's online selection of games that qualify is sometimes smaller than what's available in store. There's no guarantee it'll work on every game online where as it will work on every game in store.
They usually do one every year, but the last two years this sale has been coming later than usual across all stores. No guarantee they will but highly likely. Toys R Us also has a sale. Given how close it is to Black Friday though and we still haven't heard of a sale, it's possible they might not.
I can't wait for the Best Buy 2 for 1 with the GCU and my reward points.

If Infamous and The Order are both $20, can I get them and then get Uncharted collection for free?
No, they'll only give you the game with the lowest value free.
Ditto.

Ah man, I knew it was too good to be true.
They typically do carry major pc releases. I would guess so.

Never think of these deals as getting a game free. Always think of them of getting a discount from 0 to 33% off of each game.
They used to have yearly Buy 2 Get 1 Free sales too, but they stopped after GCU.

Perfect timing for this:
Fallout 4, Black Ops 3, and Tomb Raider

Aw yiss
shame it ends right before Battlefront launches
I was listening to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVD9j36Ke94
When i opened the thread and saw your GIF... it was SO good!
They've done it before. It's awesome getting 3 $60 games for $90. Though it hasn't been a while
Yeah that'd be fine with me, I'd be using this to get games I skipped earlier in the year so I don't really have to wait for a specific game to make the sale worth it

This is not true. They had one last year. In fact it's how I got Halo 5 for $22.

Black Ops/Halo 5, Fallout 4, and Syndicate?

I can't imagine Best Buy doing this, with GCU that would be a 46.67 discount per game.
On Nintendo games you literally buy games and trade them back into Best Buy for a profit, a very good one during their increased trade offers.

What? Don't you mean $28 discount per game?
