Got a card and the coupon printed out on the first receipt. Had to do a lot of negotiating with the employee and the manager and show them the print out from their internal memo from a few days ago. Now I have Knack, Killzone, and Ghosts. Gonna switch out potentially Ghosts and Knack for something else down the road. Total was like $87. 2 other people walked in trying to get the same deal while I was there. They aren't going to have any stock of games when the console actually comes out on Friday lol

 

[robotzombie]

Yeah so I got killzone, knack, and call of duty, gonna Exchange for assassins creed and probably a non ps4 game on Tuesday and just keep killzone.

Problem though, was that I did the friggin 30% trick (two separate ring ups, front registers) and didn't get a coupon. So I got my games for 120 and I'm not really happy about the deal at the moment, might just return everything on Tuesday

 

[Megatron]

Best buy price matched it for me. Lol. Fuck you target.

Should get $25 back with reward zone. Wish I had the gamer unlocked too would have gotten each even cheaper lol
Just going to keep nba2k14 for bro. Or go back to trade it in for need for speed

Hmmm, I wonder if we show people at other bestbuysbyournreceipt if they'd cave and match it?

 

[dallow_bg]

how does that work??

Straight up fraud right there.

 

[kgrock618]

wait where can I find this 30% off coupon?

Based on every experience I've ever had with Best Buy, the GCU discount would not work with a manual price match.
Then they would tell you it's one or the other.
Unless they manually adjusted the last game, instead of $20 off each like on your receipt.

 

[The Outsider]

Not to be creepy, but where do you live? Just want to check out your zip code radius and see what they say about Battlefield. I'd love to price match to Best Buy and pick these up today and be all ready for Friday.

[tookhster]

Went to Target and they only had Ghosts. Asked the guy there and he didn't even know the PS4 was coming out and had no idea when the games were coming in, even though it showed they had games like Killzone and Knack in stock.

Then I went to Best Buy, who are usually cool with price matches and shady stuff, and asked someone at the video game center if they were selling any PS4 games. They gave me a weird look and said, "Basically if you preordered them, you can get them." -_-

Makes no sense at all since I've seen plenty of people buy PS4 games from there over the past few days.

This whole Target situation has been the biggest YMMV thing I've ever seen.

 

[Aesthet1c]

You didn't try at the electronics counter did you? Coupon only prints at the front registers.

Dumb question but did you use a credit card to pay for the pre-order cards?

No I made sure to try at the front register and I used my debit card.

 

[spatenfloot]

Hmmm, I wonder if we show people at other bestbuysbyournreceipt if they'd cave and match it?

No, it is against Best Buy policy. If they weren't going to do it already, showing them what another store did won't matter.

 

[PAULINK]

wait where can I find this 30% off coupon?

It's a coupon that prints out after buying a video game related product ONLY ON THE FRONT REGISTERS. People trigger it by ringing up several $1 pre-order cards on seperate transactions. Looking to try my luck with it today.

 

[Boss Man]

I'd like to get Killzone and Battlefield this way but I don't think there's a third retail game that I really want...

 

[Fatal Futanari]

Target only had Killzone, Knack, and Ghosts on the floor. Knack was sold out when I got there (about three hours after opening).

Went over to Best Buy instead and they price matched no problem. Nabbed Killzone, Knack, and Battlefield.

They also had Assassin's Creed and all the sports games out already. Guy working there said Injustice is still street dated for Tuesday and they haven't received any copies of Need for Speed.

noooo! >.<

Snagged Knack, Ghosts, and Killzone at Target today. The guy had to go look for them in the back. They did not have ACIV or Battlefield. Only the three I bought and Just Dance.

I am going to try to get BF4 and AC4 at Best Buy when they open up (west coast here). I dont know what will be my third game (wanted Injustice)

 

[PBY]

Help-

If I were to go to a BB, how would I go about price matching?

Show them a flyer from Target?

[spatenfloot]

I don't know why so many people think they can buy BF4. It doesn't release until Tuesday for the PS4.

 

[SeanTSC]

Anyone manage to get Walmart to match this?

 

[Trigonx]

It seems like it is closer to one in four transactions to get that 30% off coupon, from the CAG thread.

Haha, I know your pain. I'm hoping to nab Injustice, Need for Speed, and Assassin's Creed on Tuesday at either Target or Best Buy.

 

[HammerOfThor]

Man, my target doesn't have any PS4 games until the dates in the ad and refuse to sell anything until those dates

 

[Shrewder]

All the work and info is appreciated, guys. I guess I'll wait until Tuesday to check the status of my local Target stores.

I don't understand. I have to buy $1 gift cards? How many? I buy several of these at the front register and then I get a coupon, I go back to the video game section and use it on the 3 games?

 

[The Outsider]

Anyone manage to get Walmart to match this?

They said no when I called. Didn't actually check in store though.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Target won't be sticking injustice :/

 

[hoserx]

Just went to my local target. Dude was not about to sell me Killzone no matter what memo I showed him. Haha oh well. I did manage to get the 30% coupon. I'll go back to a different target on Tuesday. and see how that works out for me.

 

[PrimeRib_]

Snagged Killzone, Knack and Ghosts @ Target, with AC4 already (BB online, picked up at store yesterday) - guess I'll head back on Tuesday for FIFA, BF4 and NFS. Strange that BB has BF4 out on shelves but Target does not ...

Nope, I can confirm it works at the Electronics counter too. Mine printed out picking up my Pokemon X preorder.

they manually adjusted the price of each game. does that work still? i'll find out in a few days.

 

[malfcn]

Talked to someone at Target and they said grab whatever you want more and exchange later this week while deal is active. Sounds like exchanging forXbox games is probably a ymyummy.

 

[The Outsider]

Well, good to know. Best Buy had way more stock of games than my Target did, anyhow.

 

[Poker Face]

I'll probably just do this, worst comes to worst I return the games and get my money back.

 

[Shadownet]

I just got back from my Target in VA.

I got CoD:Ghosts, Knack and NBA.

I'm going to return NBA for AC4 later on Tuesday.

The manager there was so nice, she personally went back to the storage and got me all the PS4 games.

They only have CoD, Knack, NBA, Madden, Killzone, Battlefield 4 and another game which I can't remember.


I love my Target. Got the B2G1 Free.

 

[Milennia]

So is there any proof i can show them for the 30% off coupon? just so that they don't think I'm crazy ringing up multiple pre order cards lol.

 

[Fatal Futanari]

Haha, I know your pain. I'm hoping to nab Injustice, Need for Speed, and Assassin's Creed on Tuesday at either Target or Best Buy.

Hopefully mine will have NFS. Maybe they will let me get away with Injustice since it says 11/8/13 on their website.

They said AC4 and BF4 were both still street dated for Tuesday at my Target.

Evidently my Best Buy got a different memo or they just don't give a fuck because they had both out on the floor.

 

[hoserx]

I confused the hell out of two cashiers getting my coupons..... I just said TRUST ME, KEEP RINGING THESE OUT. hahaha.

 

[The Outsider]

Well under "We do not match the price in the following types of competitor ads: " it has:


Maybe that's why they declined it? Silly though, but I am guessing that's why.

Didn't someone a few pages back say their Target had NFS out? I haven't seen any other mentions.

Best Buy has ACIV, BF4, and Injustice listed as 11/08/13 on their website.

Mine didn't have it. They didn't even have ACIV or BF4. They guy went looking around in the back for awhile too.

 

[PAULINK]

Two questions.

1. Can you preorder games at Target?
2. What does "ONLY ON THE FRONT REGISTERS" mean?

1. Dunno, I never have, heard the pre-order system is a joke. They have cards though.
2. The reason why people say this is because some target's don't have a coupon printer in the electronics section, but according to a poster here, he got the coupon at the counter. To be safe though i'd go to the front registers though.

I don't understand. I have to buy $1 gift cards? How many? I buy several of these at the front register and then I get a coupon, I go back to the video game section and use it on the 3 games?

You don't have to get $1 pre-order cards, you can buy anything else related to gaming. That's just the cheapest way (unless you find a COD coozie, those ring up for 1 cent).

 

[Washed_Out]

Is it possible to exchange a ps4 game for the xbox one version of that same game in 2 weeks or is that highly unlikely?

 

[BigDug13]

Friday for all non-CoD games at my nearest target but the electronics dept guy knew his stuff and he will be personally coming in Friday to setup the PS4 displays and will street date all non-CoD PS4 games then. My worry is he says he has like 8 total copies of Killzone.

 

[Jarsonot]

Target wouldn't sell me anything besides COD, spoke to a manager, showed them this thread (haha), no dice.

Drove two blocks to Best Buy. They price-matched for me and I picked up Killzone, Battlefield, and Knack.

Thanks Best Buy. Target's really missing out on this stuff.

 

[Fatal Futanari]

You might be able to get away with that. YMMV though.

How many of the cards do I have to buy? And are they specifically video games or preorder cards I have to use?

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Hey grab any game that's worth something and sell it.

 

[Milennia]

Didn't someone a few pages back say their Target had NFS out? I haven't seen any other mentions.

Nope, they said they could sell it, but they don't have it in stock.

Don't think there are any reports of anyone seeing it anywhere, not even just target.

 

[Dead Prince]

i know my best buy will let me. asked the guy. as long as you don't break the seal off of the case.

Strange, my Best Buy had pretty much all of their stock on the floor except for Injustice specifically. Guy I talked to implied they had it in the back but wasn't allowed to sell it because of the street date.

 

[dezzy8]

I just got NBA 2K14, COD Ghosts, KZ SF from my target in Greenville, NC. They had them right there on the shelves. They also said that the rest of the games come in on Tuesday.
