36.95 at gamecellar.com. If you haven't bought the game yet, now you have no excuse.

Best Buy is selling it for 29.99

I just saw in my local Best Buy ad, that they have it for 30 dollars. No rebates or anything, just 30 dollars.
Ugh.

Ugh! I just ordered from gamecellar last week. Should have more confidence in Best Buy instead.

Better yet, go to EB and make them match Best Buy's price, then send in for the $10 store credit. Net Price: $19.99.
Beat that!

Damn! Well, Dredd has the right idea.

Just my luck, I bought the game at Electronics Boutique. Got the game. Then THE NEXT DAY I see the Best Buy ad. And then to add insult to injury, I went to print out the rebate form and discover it's not a CASH REBATE, but STORE CREDIT. DOH!!
Oh well.

QuixOte-
Take the game, your receipt, and the Best Buy add to EB and they will still match the price. You can return anything to EB within 10 days, and they will also match the price during the same period. Hey, if they won't match it, return it and head on over to Best Buy.
And yes, those EB store credit "rebates" are a crock of mind worms.

heh, here in Thailand, you can get the local copy for the equivalent of, um... around $10.50
Now if you went for a pirated game.....1.5 dollars? I heard that software producers automatically add the cost from piracy into the price of the game, so we all have to foot the bill that the pirates don't pay for. (sigh).

Where can I find a Best Buy Ad? I already bought it from EB. But will love to have them paid me the difference.
E-mail me any info

They had it in the Sunday papers. Your next best bet is to go to a Best Buy. Sometimes at the computers counter they have these flyers laying around. It's about a 10 page insert what I saw.

George-
You shouldn't really *need* the add, just tell them at EB that you saw it for $29.99 at Best Buy and they will call over and match it.
