Grab LA Noire at Kmart this week, get $20 credit and a free game

by David Hinkle on May 17th 2011 6:00PM

Most of you early adopters have likely already secured your copy of LA Noire, but if you've been holding back, Kmart's deal might just bring you down off the fence. From today through Saturday, May 21, any purchase of LA Noire will secure you a $20 credit good towards a future gaming purchase, good through July 2, the Kmart blog has announced.

If you head in-store, you also earn a free game (no accessories or points cards), valued at $19.99 or under. A nice little list is available over on CAG, showing off a wide variety of games to choose from including Alpha Protocol, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Mirror's Edge, No More Heroes and a lot more.

There is a catch: you need to be a Shop Your Way Reward member and head in-store in order to get the deal. But, honestly, it's not much of one since signing up is free and you don't need to be a detective to know people always want more for less.

[Thanks, Eric]

This just makes me even more sore that Amazon's stupid "release day shipping" completely failed me. That's nice Amazon, the $5 compensation will really let me get over not playing the game for at least 2 f*cking days...

@Gaddes First World Problems...

@Gaddes Did your copy ship from Phoenix, AZ via UPS too? I contacted Amazon about the delay and they actually gave me a $10 credit. Yeah I want the game today, but the extra $10 helps the wait.

@(Unverified) $10?? Those cheapskates gave me 5... wait, when you ordered the game originally, did you also get $10 taken off at checkout? I had gotten a weird promo applied to mine, and it wasn't the $15 one they mentioned later.

@MarkHawk

yes... because no one can complain about getting screwed over if their life isn't complete hell...

@Gaddes
boohoo, didn't you already get an additional $10 credit for pre-ordering?
No one beats Amazon.

@mywhitenoise I DID get the $10 pre-order bonus, I was asking if the other guy had as well. -__-

@MarkHawk

We're on a gaming blog. Want serious discussion over wordly problems? Go somewhere else.

@Gaddes you get promo credits after a title ships, not when you buy it. the $10 promo was from something else you preordered before.

@(Unverified)
That's weird I always get my games same day from Amazon... Then again I do live in Phoenix AZ

Do they not call these Blue Light Specials anymore?

@FriedConsole

That had to stop that because all the Meth Head customers thought that it was the cops and it caused a stampede. True story, don't bother googling it.

I did this today, got L.A. Noire + Alan Wake free + 20 gaming coupon towards a future game! Love Kmart!

@The 7th Number

What? Alan Wake was 29.99 at my Kmart. I so would have gotten that instead of Lost Planet 2.

@rxbrandnew87 Mine said 29.99 too but i asked the cashier to price check it and it rang up 19.99!

@The 7th Number

yea always ask for price checks at K-Mart. my local one almost never updates sale signs, which really isn't a bad thing because the casual shoppers usually aren't attracted to the deals by the lower price which means i get typically get my pick of the lot come deal time.

Yeah, heard about this deal a few days ago and signed up for that thing. Going sometime this week to pick this up, can't wait to play it and get a free game on top of it.

Anyone know if we need to have reward points to use the deal?

@SpaceFox all you need is to be register at kmart..if you are just give your name a phone number(maybe)at the cashier and you're good to go

@Daniele

You need to be a Shop Your Way Rewards (SYWR) member. You can sign up for this in-store or online. Regardless, do this BEFORE completing your transaction!

I'm not sure if I should get it but then again I said that of Red Dead Redemption and loved it.

@Mustang Fanboy

i did the same thing. got RDR a couple months ago on Amazon and loved the hell out of it. i'm not going to make the same mistake and miss out on another R* game for so long.

Damn you America with your insane discounts!

Alpha Protocol isn't even worth 19.99, sorry.

Oh and everyone else has until "Rapture Weekend" to snag this deal!

A co-worker and I went to Kmart today, to snag this deal. I got Lost Planet 2, and he got Rock Band 3. Not a bad deal. Now I just need to figure out what to purchase with my twenty dollars in game credit.

By the way, every Kmart that I have been too, is extremely ghetto looking. I live in Mass. and the one in Hyannis and Milford, both are very ghetto looking.

@rxbrandnew87 the ones that i've been to are the same..

@rxbrandnew87

yep, all kmarts are like that, even clean ones look trashy because of low lighting and the store set up.

@rxbrandnew87 yeah same here, I live in the Bay Area (SF) and these only like 2 Kmarts and they are in the ghetto

I just did it and its like getting LA Noire for $20. The free coupon is going towards Alice or inFamous 2 or Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition or anything coming up... This is pure consumer competition MADNESS!!!

Keep in mind the $20 coupon has a expiration date. You have to use it withing 2 months.

@Adaran

ooops! Typo....within :)

Hey all, please be aware that this offer is IN-STORE ONLY! AND YES, THAT INCLUDES THE $20 COUPON!

If, like me, you're nowhere near a Kmart, Best Buy has an online-only offer for a $15 gift card. And yes, that purchase is available for store pick-up.

Bestbuy... Preordered... Picked up last night at 12:01 got free dlc and extra dlc in the case plus a character outfit..also snagged free copy of bestbuys gamer magazine with alot of nice coupons and they even offered me a drink ...choice of coke, diet coke or water..lol oh the hospitality

@xshadow

Damn did you get a mani-pedi during the wait at check out too?

@xshadow
Did they line up the female workers in front of you and ask you to pick one?

@Manifest37
That wouldn't be so bad, all the Best Buys in the mid-TN area seem to make a point of almost exclusively hiring women that are easy on the eyes.

That's about the only positive thing I can say about Best Buy - though it could of course be construed as something sexist and discriminatory, so maybe not :p

I don't even know if we have a Kmart in my city.

@Faceless Troll

did you check the down-trotted areas?

@Faceless Troll These deals are great, and I love that Kmart is being aggressive about being competitive, but it's somewhat cancelled by the fact that large parts of the South Bay in CA, there's no longer a Kmart nearby unless you want to go drive out to Redwood City or San Mateo. I sometimes go just b/c it's 10 min by freeway from work, but even then, when it comes to using credits up, it feels like a hassle at times.

I'll wait for Amazon.com to match this next week.

@(Unverified) This. Amazon is bound to respond in kind in a day or two.

@(Unverified)

Video game specific lightning deals are tomorrow. Wouldn't be surprised if LA Noire makes the list.

@GewurztraminerX

really? good tip. i was planning on hitting up this deal on Thurday or Friday so i'll be sure to take a look at the lightning deals tomorrow. i don't know though, it's going to be tough to beat L.A. Noire plus $40 worth of free games. and i've already put together a pretty substantial list of $19.99 games i could go for.

Even Kmart can beat Gamestop's pricing and deals... why does anyone shop at GS anymore? I switched about a year ago, trading in and buy to amazon and will never look back.

@Usr666

A local Play N Trade near me was infinitely better than Game Stop and always had good deals and prices.

Sadly, I'm guessing that's partly why they had to close last month.

@Usr666

i feel like GS is mainly for young kids and parents or generally people not 'in the know'. i can always find better deals online than in GS and their employees are usually dicks. last thing i bought at GS was the PS Move Sharpshooter and that's only because i wanted to preorder it to make sure i got one.

i'll stick with my amazon L.A. Noire since the few times i go to kmart, i'm like the only customer there, and the selection is pretty poor if you dont like wii shovelware,

Cheap Ass Gamer is such an amazing site.

Why doesn't the UK get deals like this ever?

NEVER PRE-ORDER

I picked this game up for $20 including first day shipping from Amazon (stacking up of pre-order credits). AND I get an extra $15 one for pre-ordering L.A. Noire from them. So effectively, I've gotten this game for $5, that's unbeatable.

Waiting on the inevitable $20 price cut on Amazon next week, will also make the obnoxious pre-order "DLC" easier to swallow down the line.
