ive just checked bestbuy and future shop both have the "price match guarantee" but they both say it must be a Canadian retailer. now toysrus is technically a retailer in Canada but its not the Canadians with the sale...maybe you could trick someone who was sleeping on the day job into verifying the price on the .com instead of .ca website(they have to verify the sale is listed at this price before they match it and cut 10% off)

actually now that i think about it, what if you got a price quote from one retailer (and they beat it by 10%) then you take that quote to the other retailer...they are both required to take 10% off and just keep doing that...maybe get the game for free???

Hey, if anyone can pick up a copy for me and just give me the code, I'm willing to pay. Nearest Toys R' Us is about 10 miles away but gas is too expensive right now.

I just went to Best Buy and they told me they couldn't price match the toys-r-us price since it wasn't a 'sale price' but rather a 'clearance price'. I tried multiple cashiers and almost got one of them to sell it to us, but one of her colleagues came in last second and told her not to. That motherfucker. Apparently the higher-ups at Best Buy got wind of our methods and put some bullshit new policy in place.

Best Buy will match the price if you find a lower price on an identical available product at a local retail competitor's store, a local Best Buy retail store or BestBuy.com. Simply let us know when you are making your purchase or during the return and exchange period.

The Guarantee does not apply to: Our competitors' website prices, offers that include financing, bundling of items, free items, pricing errors, mail-in offers, competitors' service prices, items that are advertised as limited-quantity, out of stock, open-box, clearance, refurbished/used items, Deal of the Day items, BestBuy.com Midnight Sale and special hour sale events, BestBuy.com Clearance & More and Marketplace items, and items for sale Thanksgiving Day through the Monday after Thanksgiving.



it does list clearance as being not allowed, except on toysrus.com it isn't a labeled as a clearance sale only a "Cyber sale 30% or more off"

LOL brace yourselves Toys R Us, massive influx of nerdy teenagers incoming!

Seriously though, wish I was in NA for this deal. Would definitely be worth picking up a few copies for friends and the sorts.

What's so funny?? I guess you're after the "easy to learn" but it IS easy to learn.. so i don't see it.


rly? good audio, sound is half the fun...those too lines dont get to you??? notsureiftrollingorjuststupid.jpeg You dont buy a game because it sounds nice, u give a game bonus points for sounding good. it cant be a key selling point or id just go buy a damn CD...

back on topic. prices arent lowered for toysrus.ca (/sadface canada) i wonder if you could go to a retailer and make them price match you even tho the listings are in the US?


Why the need to insult? His comment says those are review comments, does that make them key selling points? And "good sound" as well as "graphics" are subjective. But you go buy your CD, something that helps you rid some anger perhaps?

I second this. Just left Best Buy after almost having the cashier give the $9.98 price but she was like "wow thats a deal, let me call someone". The manager said he heard they were doing this today but they don't price match from ToysRus.COM, just Toys R Us retail stores. Another manager came over and said they don't match clearance prices, just sales prices.

I thought for sure my "Ok, then I'll take my money to Toys R Us" line would get them to just do it but they were fine with letting me walk out. Went over to Toys R Us and they have 0 PC games in the store. Attempted to get Walmart to price match and they won't do online ads, its gotta be an actual ad from the store.

Oh well, I missed a great deal, is what it is. To bad its all out of stock online :/

Good luck at your local stores.

Dude...that really sucks for you guys...the best buy 15 mins from me price matched it. And as proof I can take a picture of my receipt but I nabbed 1 d3 and 2 sc2s for 32 and change just 1 hour ago.
Limited Edition, lets do some simple addition, $50 for a T-Shirt is just some ignorant bitch shit.

Great news for those that can do it. I wonder how some Best Buys seem to get away with not giving the deal based on some semantical bullshit, like thats a "clearance sale, not a regular sale."

People should grab all these screens of receipts as proof that Best Buys are doing it. There's another one here thats pretty clear and easy to read. You could use it a leverage when arguing with one of the more stubborn stores.
