Didn't know this applies to fake black friday too, got it.

Namikaze · Jul 20, 2016

Star Fox is about to drop that low? Dang. Might as well finish off my copy while it's still worth somethings..

Might pick up Mario Maker or Yoshi though.

Speedwagon · Jul 20, 2016

Whoa, really nice prices. I'll probably pick up a few. Bummer it doesn't stack with GCU.

GCU should stack even with the new revision to their policy.

20% discount off new physical video games, including pre-orders (excludes pre-owned video game software and digital gaming). Benefit does not combine with promotions advertised in Best Buy's Thanksgiving Day physical ad or expanded digital ad.

Given that what's up with this bull crap?

alf717 · Jul 20, 2016

Would like to grab Star Fox how do I become elite/plus?

Lemstar · Jul 20, 2016

Why's everyone complaining about GCU not applying when the discount is baked into the prices already?

LiK · Jul 20, 2016

Wow, cheap stuff. I own most of those games already but def a good time to stock up on gifts.

Ashhong · Jul 20, 2016

Why is Mirror's Edge showing up as 35 for me? Oh, does it start midnight pacific?

I had to spend $1500 in a year at Best Buy to become Elite.

I just bought Yoshi and Xenoblade. No GCU discount.

Ashhong · Jul 20, 2016

Wait, I'm seeing higher prices than OP...why?

Wait. My account says Elite and I'm not seeing these prices?

Edit:

I see prices but the front page isn't showing that for me.

I'll like to see all the games.

GCU does apply. For example, the Nintendo games are advertised for $30, but are $24 with GCU.

Thanks! Looks like GCU does count.

The Wii U games are on sale for $30 and the PS4 stuff is $15-$20.

..so
star fox and DQ are all that are worth it

and only if I like suffering

LiK · Jul 20, 2016

Some good deals but the ones I don't own just aren't low enough for me. Probably gonna pass on the game deals and see what else is worth getting.

breakfuss · Jul 20, 2016

...even at that price I'm not sure i can bite on Star Fox.

MarcoZombieCannon · Jul 20, 2016

breakfuss said:

Yeah... Unless it comes with Guard as well still.

I don't have Mario Maker yet either and that is definitely getting picked up.

dragonflys545 · Jul 20, 2016

Ashhong said:

Ohh... Usually I get that price at the checkout.

But perhaps, because the price is on the sale page. I thought they no longer offer the GCU discount.

My fault lol

SatoAilDarko · Jul 20, 2016

The real deals are the Wii U games. Everything other than Nintendo games is almost guranteed to hit $20 or less. I'm not sure of they're bother to do Nintendo Selects of these later released games. These discounts are huge for $60 Nintendo titles. Yoshi is $50 and $38 on Amazon so it's less impressive like Star Fox.

I got Mario Maker and the Special Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles X last year at Best Buy. Will pick up Yoshi and Star Fox. Best Buy is probably where I've bought the majority of my first-party Wii U games. I got Mario Party 10 for $28 after GCU and Kirby for $24.

Star Fox has obviously dropped pretty low in price but even Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival which bombed hugely never dropped below $28. Mario Tennis Ultra Smash also bomb but stayed around $40. Star Fox sold twice their first month and Xenoblade X sold around twice as much as Star Fox.

The big deals are Super Mario Maker and Xenoblade Chronicles X. X is like Bayonetta and Nintendo probably smartly didn't anticipate huge sales so it decently protects it from bigger price drops than releases with more copies.

Blink 182 - First Date music video

Speedwagon · Jul 20, 2016

Not sure if it still applies (says good through 7/20), but there's a $10 off $100 discount for using Visa Checkout if anyone wants to give it a try.

Still works

Marty Chinn · Jul 20, 2016

Damn, Star Fox sold out already.

It didn't just sell out it was delisted.

The fuck? It was just in my cart and disappeared surely a store would have had store pick up available and surely there's not enough Elite members up at this time to buy them all?

MindGamingMantis · Jul 20, 2016

Everything I want is sold out. Awesome.

SatoAilDarko · Jul 20, 2016

I love how the deal picture shows Mario Maker and Star Fox and both sold out.

I ordered Yoshi just now I'm pissed about Star Fox. I was checking out things to do one order.

What type of member exclusive sale sells out in the middle of the night in less than two hours?
