Pounce on these Final Fantasy XIII deals at Target and Amazon

by Ben Gilbert on Mar 6th 2010 5:30PM

After you heard what we had to say about Final Fantasy XIII, you may very well now be itching to finally get your own hands all over the thirteenth entry in the FF series from Square Enix. Lucky for you, dearest reader, we've got news of a couple ways to save some dough on your purchase this week.

Target is offering a $10 gift card with purchase of either the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 version, while Amazon is offering a $10 pre-order incentive credit towards future video game purchases for both versions as well (oh, and also, the game costs $56.99 instead of $59.99, which is kinda nice). Sure, neither offers a free rideable chocobo or anything wonderful like that, but that $10 at Target could potentially buy pizza bagels. And did you know that when pizza's on a bagel, you can apparently eat pizza at any time? Madness!

LOL, the picture made ma laugh.

You mom reads Joystiq?

Why would she?

REALLY saaking really?

lmao, I see now.

*me

haha.

@ acosta how do you know saaking is a mom

@ Warlord

she's his mom, most people know their mom is a mom :)

Those pizza bagels have lots of grease, Lightning.

Eating a bagel while eating pizza while eating a bagel while eating pizza!?!?!
THIS IS MADNESS!

I know what you're trying to do, and no, I'm not going there.

Madness? THIS IS, introducing new Super Target, now buy your groceries and video games in one convenient center with Target's unbeatable prices!

yeah, target should drop the "unbeatable prices" since there is usually a wal-mart within 10 miles of each one.

It's worth the extra cost to shop at Target.

The stores are cleaner, and there's usually a higher class of people that shop there, as opposed to Wal-Mart.

You've just got to keep an eye on Target's clearance bins. They do run fairly good sales too-I picked up Force Unleashed about a month after launch for 39.

SPARTAAAA!!!!

@biggen

That's not Target's slogan. It's expect more, pay less. And yes, it's like Dr. Blight says. Target's Clearance is actually clearance unlike Walmart's "clearance"

Toys R' Us also has a special where you get a $13 gift card for purchasing Final Fantasy XIII.

Have to be a Rewards R' Us member.

cool. now i can get a pizza bagel AND a can of soda

I would question the pizza beagals you found in Toys R Us.

Tasty.

its still 60 at amazon

Picking up Bad Company 2 on amazon they handed me a promotional credit email. Giving me 20 dollars off my next purchased game from them that was entitled to take it. Low and behold FF13 was on the list so i picked it up for a mere 39 bucks.

Shop Smart, Shop S-Mart

It hasn't been 56.99 @ Amazon for over a month I thought.

It is $60 dollars @ Amazon, however, if you get the "release date shipping", it's only about $5 extra. That's pretty much around what you would be paying in tax if you went to your local store.

I can confirm this because I just pre-ordered it myself. I am in the US, but, i'm not sure if the "release date shipping" varies by state. Just don't do overnight shipping, and save yourself some money if you want it right away.

Now I can buy some of those brushed silver frames at target, and a game. Or two of the Target brand pizzas, and some coke. The possibilities are endless. Plus in my town very few people use Target so I don't have to worry about it being a pain to get the game.

Oh good. The pizza bagels should help the apparent suck that is the first 15 hours of FFXIII.

;)

Captain planet, your powers are limited to that of the planet.
That does not include seeing into the future, so you don't really know what the first 15 hours are gonna be like.

Captain Planet downvoted, I never thought I'd see the day...

Now we know he is human.

Cap has been down voted?!?

Are you people MAD?!?!

I think Ma-Ti was missing or forgot to add his heart.

It's ok Captain Planet i believe you :)

Fool don't dis the mullet.

You liable to get pimp slapped for that

LOOKS LIKE CAPTAIN PLANET HAS TO CHOKE SOME BITCHES TONIGHT

Yep... definitely missing the heart part...

So your saying that I can eat pizza in the morning, pizza in the evening, AND pizza at suppertime??

Its mind blowing. Isn't it?

When pizza's on a bagel, you can eat pizza anytime.

i preordered final fantasy 13 at walmart and got a $10 gift card,not sure if joystiq knows this but that is going on

can i do this so that i can still get it at midnight? aka, pre-order, then pick-up at a 24 hour walmart at midnight?

it seems this is only for online you cant do a pickup at store

Target gift cards, too many unused ones. Maybe they'll work together to make a captain planet gift card for FF.

Careful, you don't to get sued now, son.

*want

Generic gift cards, got too many of em. Perhaps they will work together to make a super hero that pertains to the combination of different aspects of nature gift card for a Japanese developed video game.

PIZZAAAAAA
In the morning
Pizza in the evening
Pizza at supper ti-i-ime

When pizza's on a bagel
You can have pizza anytime!

(whoever wrote that jingle was a regular poet laureate...)

Or wait till it becomes greatest hits. Why waste $60 for a single-player game that will be in plentiful supply?

Some of us want to play it within a one year period of it being out.

also if is doesnt have good release day sales it wont become a greatest hit.

You mean, you can wait to buy games? But then, what will you talk about with all the cool kids at school?

(Btw, you have some vicious history of trolling. You should take out your frustrations on small animals instead of the internet.)

pika is right though, I don't know why he got down-voted. You don't even have to wait till it hits greatest hits, I guarantee this game will be on sale for $40 if not cheaper at some point in the next three months. If you don't mind waiting a few months to buy a game, you can save a ton of money and that's why I have a backlog of 15-20 PS3 games.
