Just used $15 in Best Buy certificates and my Gamer Club Unlocked membership to get Just Dance 2015 on Xbox One for $5! It was on sale for $25. Getting GCU was one of the best things I could've done for buying games. I got it for $60 and it has more than paid for itself at this point. Got Halo for $48, and since it was on the deal list they gave me a GC for $10. Plus, the amiibo I just got was $10 as well. Really hate that they're going to be retailer exclusive soon.
It came to mind as I was about to get Smash Wii U at Target yesterday that between the 15% off on eShop cards at Best Buy and the 10% back on digital purchases through the Digital Deluxe program that anyone who is enrolled in the DD program can effectively get 25% off ANY Wii U game right now (until the end of December) if we buy digitally (which is my preferred way to buy for a multiplayer game like Smash anyway.)
I mean, technically it isn't truly 25% because the last 10% is points that need to be applied to future purchases... but I'm always going to be buying eShop games so it's not like they will go to waste.
I usually wait for a much better deal than 25% off but Smashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Doubt I will find much better anytime soon and this way I can get it digitally.
So yeah, I ordered a whole lot of eShop cards from Best Buy and I'm going to wait until those game in then buy Smash digitally.
I just hope I will have room on my drive. Not sure how much room is left...
Yeah, I'm a bit bummed that I forgot about my Newegg pre-order for Smash because Amazon matched Target's deal so I would have saved more money from that. Oh well, too late now. I'll just have to try and be more careful.
Well just remember 10% back in points =/= money off the initial purchase. It's still saving money somewhere but it's something I have to remind myself sometimes.
I got myself $35 in eShop cards, which will go onto my $10 in rewards, so I'll have $45 on the eShop soon. Some of that will go to Secret Santa, but I'm not sure about the rest. I'll probably try to take a hiatus on games, since Smash and Halo are basically my life right now (and always really).
Whoa! Thank you so much for posting that. Just scored a copy of Pokemon Y for Amanda for $16. Picking it up later, assuming they have it. I did in store pickup but KMart is...well, they're KMart.
I never did get Mega Man 5 and 6 on Wii (did 6 even come out?), so part of me wants to complete my collection, but then I'll probably just have to pay for them again down the line so is there a point?
@Jargon I bought 'em. I bought 'em on the Gamecube collection, and I'll probably buy 'em again next generation. As soon as MM 1-4 go on sale again, I'll get them on Wii U too. Yeah, I'm hopeless.
I caved and bought all three games for the Wii U. I hate myself right now. The fact that I earned an extra DDP code I didn't realize I had only lessens my self loathing slightly.
