Thanks. Just ordered Star Fox.
I was wondering why Star Fox could sell out so quickly while Yoshi was staying in stock fine.
Considering it's stated there are limited quantities perhaps the allocated stock was sold but they realized that they couldn't have the deal disappear that quick.
Mario Maker and Star Fox are actually pictured.

No, GCU does work on this sale. I just got Star Fox Zero and Xenoblade Chronicles X for $51.95.
Was the GCU price on the product page or when you added it to the cart like normal?

It's already taken into account I guess. Games advertised at $30 show at $24, $15 show $12 etc.

Look at the Wii U deals section. The games are on sale for $30. GCU discounts them $6 more.

It's not listed separately, but it's definitely stacking. If you look at the ad page, it's saying Wii U games for $29.99, but they're all showing up for $23.99 if you have GCU. The website is just lumping all the discounts together now.

They should make every sale a "Black Friday" sale - then they never have to apply GCU ever again! /s
"Black Friday on Monday in April sale"

It says Early Access for Elite Members so maybe these deals will be available to the general public as well.
If so I can see Mario Maker selling out at $30/$24.

Bought the Skylanders Superchargers packs for Wii /Wii U. $15.99. Might as well since you get the games plus the exclusive Amiibo.

Nice. Finally picked up Star Fox Zero AND Mario Maker for less than 50 bucks total. Today is a good day.

Picked up Uncharted Collection and Ratchet Clank as I've been meaning to add those to my backlist of games I'll never get to...

Is it elite exclusive? Or is it just early access for an event happening in a few days?
Also, I imagine this is online only, right?

Is Yoshi's Wooly World worth $24?

Wii U deals are pretty slick, but the majority of the other stuff has been this cheap or cheaper. Might pick up XbX and Yoshi.

GCU didn't work for me, but Bloodborne and Until Dawn for $12 a piece? Can't beat that

Hell yes. I had a blast playing the game last year, got 100% in it as well, which I rarely do with games any more.

Nice deals with GCU. Picked up Tearaway Unfolded and MGS V.
It's a loyalty perk for big spenders.

I ordered Yoshi and the Zelda amiibo. Unrelated, but I tried ordering Kirby and the Rainbow Curse a few days ago, but for some reason my payment was declined despite having cash in my account.
Can't wait for 'Black Friday Every Fiday - only at Best Buy'

Snagged GOW3 for $12.
The E3 trailer hyped me to want to dive back into the Remaster at 1080p.
If these deals keep coming, I am down.

Just remember that when the time comes- stop hitting circle.

What the heck is Best Buy Elite?

You have to spend at least $1500 in a years time.

I'm totally grabbing Yoshi and Star Fox when this hits everyone else (I'm assuming since it says early access).
Well that's a really big threshold for minimum purchases. Like you would have to buy something pretty expensive like a home theatre set up, 4K TV or home appliances to even get close to this.

The easy way is to get it by using the BBY MasterCard. I spent 3500 a few months into the year since I use it for all my purchases and renewed my elite plus membership pretty quickly, just like every year. In addition to the points program, it's another benefit.
Edit - to clarify, it is not a store credit card, but rather MasterCard through CitiBank I believe, but applied at through Best Buy and tied to their rewards and benefits. It's comparable to another credit card with a points or rewards program (I personally pay it off every month).
