The annual Holiday Toys Catalog should be making its way into Target B&M soon. However, Target online is nice (or foolhardy) enough to make the coupons within available for printing directly here:

http://sites.target.com/images/2009HolidayCoupons/holiday_coupons_print.html

There are 3 videogame-related coupons on pages 5 & 6 (EXPIRES 11/25 - day before Thanksgiving):

:360: $10 OFF PURCHASE OF ANY 2 XBOX 360 GAMES

:ps3::psp: $10 OFF PURCHASE OF ANY 2 PS3 or PSP GAMES

:wii::ds: $10 OFF PURCHASE OF ANY 2 WII or DS GAMES PURCHASE

Remember, you can also check the endcap aisle by the Toy Dept. or at the front cashier stations for the actual Toy Catalog. Good luck!
FYI, there are no price restrictions, works on clearance games, and stacks with the current Wii B2G1 promotion (exp. 11/07). Happy hunting !!!

Says you in a thread filled with people getting two games for free or for $5? And for the record, I was thinking of doing it with The Bigs 2, so the tiered promo would have actually gotten me more trade in value.

Yeah, but only if you do it with a 40% (or 50%) stack though. Even then, it's only a difference of $21 (or $22.50) vs. $20

Getting two games for free is right out into the open though. You're not doing anything underhanded.

The sticker says $4.98 and the coupon says 2 off $10.

When you pull the ole gift receipt at GS routine, you're being sneaky. How do I know? Because you wouldn't tell the clerk you're doing it.
 
These coupons are the best thing ever! I bought:

2 Copies of Bigs 2 :360: @ $9.xx
2 Copies of GI Joe :360: @ $12.xx
1 Copy of Skate 2 :360: @ $19.xx
1 Copy of G-Force :360: @ $12.xx
Total = about $46
Flipped to GS for New Super Mario :wii: and Left 4 Dead 2 :360:.

I wish these coupons went on forever. . . :)
 
Dammit, some of us actually want to PLAY The Bigs 2, not go to Gamestop to find the Target clearance copies there at twice the price.

[rant off] (not directed at anyone in particular but now I understand where all the copies have been disappearing to)

You're not missing out. I was really looking forward to The Bigs 2 but it's really lame. It went WAY too arcady. But for $5 it's worth a purchase for your collection.

More and more, i'm starting to realize nobody will ever make an arcade sports game as good as NBA Jam from 1990.

I just downloaded NBA Unrivaled. That might be the biggest POS i've ever downloaded.

NBA Jam was probably one of the best sports game ever! I remember back in 1991, in 7th grade, playing that on my GameGear in the cafeteria at school. When you actually heard the announcers 'voice' nobody could believe it!! Boom-shak-laka!!!

Yes you can do this. As you can tell by others responses, it is definitely a controversial topic between CAGs. This is all people did when they had the trade 3 for FNR4 a couple months ago. As to the question, should you do it? That is really for you to decide. It isn't illegal, but some CAGs did report them cracking down on people that did it multiple times.

So I'm assuming you would do this if you don't want one of the $60 new games they offer but still want a $60 game?? If you wanted to be a less ethical CAG, would it help if you returned at a different location? Or can you only really return at the store you purchased??
 
I picked up the official Target Toys coupon book that has the coupons in it. There was a stack at the customer service desk. Used it to get 2 Bigs 2. Look for that if you don't have a printer or you forgot to bring them.

Here's the question. If you think this is ok. What's the difference between taking the $60 game (hey, they're all $60 anyway!) and going to Walmart and returning it there for another $60 game?

I don't know why people have such issues with whether something is ethical or ok. If you can't do it out in the open, i.e. tell the clerk exactly what you're doing, then it's probably not cool.

But it's your call whether you are a good guy or not.

oh hey man, I think arguing over ethics is cool and all, but i think (?) I'm on your side. I have no problems participating in glitches, flips, or in some cases return fraud. It sucks for the video game companies I know, but I really like handing it to all these B&M stores for a lifetime of ups and downs. One day, when we all go digital, this will just be like the demise of CDs and what that did to many business...forced them to adapt! Besides, its like your playing one company off another and simply being a middle man. If I can walk out of the store without being in handcuffs or being restrained some other way, I have no problems doing whatever! And I would do the Wal-Mart thing if I didn't just do it the other night w/ a $10 GH5 from the B2G1 BB glitch to get one more copy of L4D2. :D

GameStop though seems to be on the up-and-up in most cases, so harder to run stuff by them maybe..but deifnitely going to try it out seeing as if I already have all the 'Trade 2' offerings that I want. (Makes that Ninja Gaiden Sig 2 CE very obtainable :) )

What you are describing is actually alot different since you didn't originally buy the game from WalMart. In the Trade 2 scenario you are buying the game from GS, so you are clearly allowed to take advantage of their return policy if you decide you do not want the game. You have a gift receipt or a standard receipt, they really cannot deny you from returning the game regardless of which location you return it at.

During the FNR4 deal alot of CAGs reported just asking the GS employee if they could get a different game with the promo and the employee would sell them FNR4, process a return and let them get the game of their choice on the spot.

As for the ethics of the whole thing, I mean, I'm not sure this site is the place to discuss ethics. If someone wants to do this 10 times then they are going to do it regardless of what is posted here, and actually it's all fully legal because in the end nobody is getting taken advantage of. GS still has the 2 games you traded in and the $19.99 payment and all you have is a brand new $60 game. Is it ultimately right or wrong? its really up to you to decide what you want to do, but pretty much every deal posted here gets exploited one way or another. Whether it is the B2G1 @ BB/TrU or just flipping games between stores. I'm not saying it is right or that it is wrong, it is just the reality of CAG.
 
token - wasn't directed towards you in particular. It just astounds me how many people try to take advantage of EVERYTHING. Can't just be satisfied with $100 GC from walmart for buying an Arcade for $200. People have to figure out how to get $100 AND $100 arcade. Know what I mean? I love a good deal as much as the next person but don't understand why people always have to try and "get over." It's kinda sad to me.

glock - hey, if the GS employee is cool with it, by all means, trade for something else. I've run into some cool GS workers who would probably let me do it. I just meant, in general, if you have to be underhanded about something, probably shouldn't do it. I don't mean to debate ethics either. It just seems like the obvious rule to follow.

And then of course, someone will say "but gamestop screws everyone with their shitty used game prices!" Which is kinda dumb. Gamestop doesn't sell you a used Assassins creed II for $55 and then slip you a Halo 2 while you aren't looking.
 
its almost a win win (win) situation. I mean we buy the games fair and square, usually at a discount price (ie. clearance, sale, special) and flip them to another store, presumably used games.

so the stores we bought the games from originally make a sale at a price that no one forced them to sell the games for, we win because we flip them, and the stores that give us credit for the games win because they sell them to ignorant folk that go in and buy it at full used price w/o edge, mvp, knowledge of specials.... so in a sense they win too!

Im failing to see the issue (outside of straight return fraud or such other matters)

Flipping isn't wrong or illegal. It's how the used book collectors market works actually.

We're talking about an instance where someone will trade games in to get a specific game (see the gamestop deal for Assassins Creed II, Brutal Legend, and 1 or 2 other titles.) and then return it with a gift receipt to get a game they really want but doesn't appear on the list.
 
@confoosious: I totally agree with you. That Wal-Mart thing was a bit silly! You're already getting a great savings, so live with that. But something inside me of late, especially with week after week of 'exploits' we can do that we learn about on CAG, it really gets the adrenaline going when I'm doing some of this stuff. Its like its risky business, but its far from it!! And whoever says GameStop 'screws people w/ their shitty prices' obviously doesn't wait long enough for the game to drop. Thousands of used games for under $20? some still pretty new? oh I can 10% off too?? Sign me up!!

GG & wreckemTT: You guys couldn't have said it better, very nice points!
 
gotcha, yeah i kinda see where you're coming from but i still don't see it as something to stone someone over, no one really hurts doing something like that. and i guess its defeating the system somewhat

In the end I still don't see anything wrong with returning the game for the one you really want. You have a receipt, it entitles you to a return so feel free to return it and get the game you want.

GS/EB makes the same margin on the new game sale regardless of which brand new game they sell. They also get 2 games @ $20 each that they will sell for $15 or more profit each.

I agree with the "everyone wins" theory on this. Target gets rid of their clearance games, GS gets some new trade ins to sell & CAGs get the new game they want.

Because that's not the intent of the trade in offer! It's not like it's vague. It's very clear what games you can trade in for.

As for margins, you can't just say it's a $60 game is a $60 game. There are behind the scenes kickbacks on certain titles and sales incentives from publishers.

But, do as you see fit.

Personally I'm trading in games because I want AC2 and L4D2. If someone wants something else and this is the best way for them to get it then I don't see the problem with it and I don't know why you have a problem with it. You are returning a game you do not want for a game you do want. Considering some of the scams people post about here on CAG, this seems pretty tame, and it is 100% legal.

Regardless of what they make on new games it pales in comparison to what they make on the used games. The main reason they want to sell you new games is because there is a good chance that in a couple months you will trade it back to them and then they can make the big margin. What is the profit margin on a new game? 5-10% tops. Used games it is close to 50%. That is where GS makes their money at. They probably could care less what new game they sell since the list of trade ins they will accept for this deal will all sell for $45 to $55 each to unsuspecting soccer moms over the next few weeks.

lmao YOU'RE Noting "INTENT???" and you flamed my post about abusing the $10 coupon ... what a frickin joke!
 
Does this coupon stack? Ex.: Buying 8 PS3 games with 1 coupon, would it take off $40 or would I need 4 coupons for 4 transactions?
 
[quote name='dino88']No. You'll need to do separate transactions.[/QUOTE]
If the cashier will take them all at once, all you really need is one coupon per 2 games. I bought 4 games with 2 coupons in 1 transaction the other day.

It doesn't "stack" in the sense that most people talk about stacking. But I think what you're asking is if you can use it in multiples. The answer is yes and no.

For example, if you have 4 xbox games, you can give the cashier 2 coupons and it'll take $20 off. Technically, it says one coupon per transaction. But Target figures if you really want to, you can just walk out and walk back in and do another transaction. So they just save everyone the trouble.

no, it doesn't say that at all. It says:
Offer valid for in-store purchase only.
Limit one item or offer per coupon. Void
if copied, transferred, purchased, sold
or prohibited by law. No cash value.

Totally off topic but by GS logic, if they hit you with a refurb fee for lack of case/manual, shouldn't they offer a discount for a game without case/manual they sell(at least extra 10%)?
 
[quote name='spideymike']Did your dog eat the game case, instructions, and cover art? ;)[/QUOTE]

haha! no, but if they're only going to give me .25 cents for a game, I might as well keep the case (doing the 4x power trade w/ dual Rock Revolutions, Bigs, Cloudy...)

I called the GS I was going to, guy said it was no problem, and I'd get an additional 10% if I had edge card! FTW!!!
 
[quote name='dino88']You can, but they may hit you up with a refurbishing fee. (this is what an employee told me over the phone)[/QUOTE]
BS....unless they can show you scratches, I would never allow them to charge me a fee. I had them take the fee off once when they tried to tell me my disc was scratched....when he couldn't show me, he took it off. I'm sure the manager told them to do what they could to increase profits.

edit: I keep the cases...the new 360 cases are horrible. I've also given out cases to guys on another forum I visit.
