Best Buy is offering a buy one, get one half-off deal but, unlike the deal two months ago, this one appears to be on all Xbox 360 and PS3 games. Before you get clever, thinking you'll get the holiday titles on the cheap, the sale excludes pre-orders and pre-owned games.
A minor consolation: those who haven't picked up Duke Nukem Forever can fulfill their irrepressible, morbid curiosity by getting the game for $20.

I know they're doing this deal where you buy five or six new AAA releases and you get a $100 gift card. They give you a checklist when you preorder/buy one. How are you supposed to prove you bought them all (and all from them)?

I always buy two random $60 and then exchange them later as the newer games come out.

Can't always trust Best Buy when they butchered their deals with Portal 2 upon release. Maybe it's just my local outlet.

Best Buy claimed a few weeks before Portal 2's release that they would knock off 15 dollars(I'm pretty sure) off the regular 60. Word got out on the 'Stiq, I exclaimed happily, told my friends, we all cried in joy. And then I look on the website, abd strangely it says they'd only chop 5 dollars. I'm confused, Best Buy is now going back and betraying their original deal. I call my local store, the employee knew nothing of the deal, and I don't even know the true price at this point because there was no clear release plan that Best Buy. And come launch day? 5 bucks off, no regard for their previous claims.
This was not Joystiq's fault--this was Best Buy's for stating a deal that would never follow through, abd confusing the junk out of us. I ended up by Portal 2 on launch day still, of course, but at Toys R Us.

Never understand why they exclude pre-orders on deals like this. They didn't exclude them a couple years ago when they had this sale.
Guess I'll get my inFAMOUS & Uncharted sequel fixes elsewhere.
