was planning on getting Star Wars and Fable 3 next week from Amazon. Now I might cancel my preorders.

@ColeM
I considered canceling my Amazon, too, but I save more there even though B2G1 sounds like a great deal.
For me, going with Best Buy would cost me an average of $43.89 per game (2 x 59.99 plus tax, divided by 3). With Amazon's $20 credit on the games I want, I pay 39.99 per game, no tax, free release day shipping with Prime (Prime membership is free for me). So I save $3.90 per game x 3 games = $11.70 total savings going with Amazon. Not really a big deal, but still....

@ColeM - I was thinking more along the lines of Force Unleashed 2, Castlevania and Rock Band 3.
I scored Fable 2 thanks to the "glitch" on xbox.com where it was free. Didn't like Fable, I'm getting into Fable 2 (just got to Wraithmarsh), but playing it just doesn't seem like a sell for me on Fable 3. If they follow the same strategy down the road - release it on XBLM in chapters, with the first free - then I'll be more inclined to get it.
Or cheap. Cheap is always good.

I'm more looking forward to Rock Band 3 than anything.

Be a better deal if they threw in that sweet looking Fable controller.

@Brando Calrissian I'm sorry could you repeat what you said? I was to busy puking when I saw the Fable 3 controller.

Gotta love how these things are always on "select" titles.

@smoothy Last time I heard of such a BestBuy deal you could get any title of the same value as the 2 you paid for.

@ccc
You could do the Kmart special they have this week and get Vanquish and Enslaved for $30 off(on Enslaved only though).

It's unfortunate that Enslaved and Vanquish aren't listed...pair those two with Castlevania, OH YEAH.

Only two games in there I want, and I rather not pay $120 for both.

So get a 3rd and return it to walmart with no receipt for a gift card.

I guess technically you could return all 3 if you wanted to but that'd look fishy.

@ArchiGamer Yeah you can get Vanquish and Enslaved at Kmart this week for $90, and you also get a $20 gaming coupon which you could use next week towards Castlevania if you wanted, bringing the grand total for those 3 games to $130. $10 more than B2G1 at Best Buy, but at least then you'd get the games you wanted.

I wish best but would do this deal again but include preorder like it did last year. That was such an awesome deal sinc it was online.
Same with toys r us, most of the time these deals never work well enough since I own are am already getting the game they have listed.

Do you have to go to the midnight release to get these offers? Or can you go just during the day. Stupid question I know..
Posted: Oct 21st 2010 1:32AM Twist said
Nice deal but sadly they only list two games that I would be interested in owning. Wonder if I could do like I did last year when they had this deal and get one game I don't care about and then later exchange it unopened for a different game.
Posted: Oct 21st 2010 2:58AM Schlecht said
DUDE, YYYEEEESSSSS. Perfect because I was going to get SvR 11, Rock Band, and Force Unleashed.

Not a bad deal at all, might have to look into it.
Just this past week I got two psp games and screen protectors for less than $25 at my local Toys R Us :)
