[quote name='Cheapskate']So correct me if I'm wrong: if I'm planning to get LBP GOTY and ModNation Racers anyways, it'd almost be a better for me to get that bundle for $299 with the $50 GC, than to get the bare bones one for $299 and a $100 GC, right? (If only the bundle came with the $100 GC, and I'd be sold.)[/QUOTE]
Yep, that's the dilemma I'm facing too. Picked up the bundle Tuesday for a present, but I know the recipient really wants LBP, and I think they will like MNR even though they haven't heard of it to my knowledge. You just have to figure if the 3 included items are worth $50 to you. I'm thinking of going in there with just my receipt in my pocket and asking them naively if they are giving $100 for PS3's. The person knew about the $50 the other day, happy to tell me about this "unadvertised" deal. Then I'll explain my situation, that I bought one Tuesday, have the receipt and gift card with me, and if I can get it adjusted. I know it's a crap shoot and YMMV, but I'll be out later and this will take me about 5 minutes out of my way on the way home. Will try tonight.
Note - return/rebuy will be even more of a hassle for me anyway, cause I used a $50 reward cert on this, so I think I'd have to wait forever for the points to be put back into my account so I can use them again.
