Best Buy - Buy 3 games/apps for $9.99 + FS

[Techx]

This is a copy/paste from another site, cool deal though i put through 2 separate orders for different games and software.. i would hurry though as i'd assume BB will squash this deal soon

B2G1F "Value" Software/Games REALLY B1G2F + Free Shipping @ BestBuy.com YMMV

I'm usually NOT a big fan of "value" software or games, but was looking for an inexpensive gift for someone that likes PopCap puzzle computer games and stumbled upon this...

Now most of these titles (if not all of them) are definitely NOT worth their retail $4.99-$9.99/ea Best Buy price IMO. BUT some are DEFINITELY WORTH $1.67-$3.33/ea (the ones that I think MAY be worth it are BOLDED)! Here's how to get the B1G2F deal:

1) Add 3 of the above titles in your cart. (It's best to add 3 titles of the SAME PRICE for maximum discount! If you add 2 titles, you'll only get B1G1F.)

2) You will notice that your 2 LOWEST PRICED ITEMS are $0.00. You are only charged for the 1 highest priced item.

3) Choose FREE SHIPPING or IN-STORE PICK-UP. (I personally would choose FREE SHIPPING unless you are 100% positive your store carries the titles you want, since most BestBuy stores probably don't carry these titles even though they say they do. My IN-STORE order got cancelled because of this, so I ordered with FREE SHIPPING.)

4) Check out and wait for delivery.

NOTE: The "YMMV" part is that your online order has the risk of getting cancelled... so be prepared to re-order if this happens. Some will go through, others won't.


In the end, I got PopCap Bejeweled Deluxe, Zuma Deluxe, and Chuzzle for $10.76 (including tax, free shipping), which comes out to $2.58/game. MUCH CHEAPER than from www.popcap.com, even with their 50% sale ($19.95/ea regular price, $9.97/ea sale price). W00t!


EDIT: Yes, I know these and some other PopCap games are available for free online play at www.popcap.com, but I can't exactly give THAT as a gift, and these games are priced low enough IMO to buy to keep the recipient entertained on airplanes, in airports, in cars, in trains, and wherever you can't get free unrestricted Internet to go online and play.

EDIT2: I should probably add that if you add any more than 3 titles, your savings ratio will diminish. For maximum savings, only place orders for 3 items at a time. If you want more than 3 titles, place separate orders.

Looks decent, thanks. All 3 of my games were b/o 1-2 weeks, so I expect my order to be cancelled at some point. Worth a shot though.

Shows up as buy 2 get 1 free, not buy 1 get 2 free. Website glitch giving the extra savings? I didn't see anything I wanted anyway, so not too worried.

 

[mrweasel]

supposedly most are in-stock at local stores...just ordered 3, we'll wait for the emails.

$10.49 for 3 games ain't bad...works to B1G2 free though not complaining

i think it depends on which items you have in your cart.. most of them are buy 1 get 2 free but some dont work that way, all 6 that i chose worked with the buy 1 get 2 free

order 1
instant play guitar
zuma deluxe
more brain games

order 2
mavis beacon typing
scrabble
bricks of egypt

pretty much all of it is for my family *cough*chickgames*cough* as for them being backordered, i could care less, im in no rush

 

[Smititty]

I think the glitch is dead. I've tried adding two different trios of games and they showed up B2G1, not B1G2.

it is not dead, just this minute i added instant play guitar, scrabble, and more brain games and they totaled $9.99.. i dont know why it works for some people and not others though but i do know it depends on the combination of items you add to your cart

 

[JediK]

Thanks a bunch! I was able to get:

Chessmaster 9000
XP Championship Mahjongg: Platinum Edition
Zuma Deluxe

All for $9.99
