Nice!

Too bad it is a week before the new Star Wars game. Not sure there are 3 games I want/need right now. Might have to look ahead to Xmas gifts for the kids/nieces/nephew.

Buy the games
Keep the receipt
Return an unopened game for SW game when it releases

Are you sure that will fly? I thought if you tried to return, they would only give you say $40 for what you returned.

I think this happens. The receipt ends up showing 1/3 of the value of the cheapest game removed from the price of each of the three games. So the cheapest game is essentially free, but the return value of all the games is reduced.

You could be dishonest and try to do a return/exchange at another store (I've heard of people doing this at Walmart) that will take products they stock without a receipt but only for exchange. I've never done it and don't personally condone it, but...

Anyway, I've fallen for these buy-2-get-1 before. Three games is too many for me to buy at once. By the time I got around to playing the second and third game I could have got them for $30 or less anyway, so I saved nothing.

Ok, so you get Battlefront for $20 instead of free or paying $60.

I was going to try to do this for something that came out a week or two after this last year and I think it was going to end up that I paid full price for all three if I took one back to get something else. So, if you're going to try this, I would advise that you make sure you get three games you want to play and don't just make one a throw away because you are going to return it.

How about you submit your HOF vote in OOTP instead of worrying about this?
