View Full Version : COD4 with free COD3 at Circuit City this week
bryansj 11-04-07, 07:13 AM According the this week's Circuit City ad if you buy COD4 you will get a free poster and a copy of COD3. Now calm down and read that again. I know the poster is a big deal, but if you notice you also get COD3 for free.

Says that it will be available Monday.
UPDATE: It looks like CC had a glitch today and some people including myself were able to get COD3 and COD4 for $30 total. COD3 ringing up as $.01 and COD4 as $30 off. YMMV.
celluloideyes 11-04-07, 11:16 AM Great deal!! It says Tuesday, not Monday.
bryansj 11-04-07, 11:26 AM I was going by the release date if you click on COD4. It says release date 11/05/07 which is Monday. On the ad it does say Tuesday. I'll be checking the store on Monday just in case.
randy5554 11-04-07, 12:13 PM I would probably try to get $20 bucks on Ebay for COD3 because I know I probably could never go back after playing COD4.
GamerGuyX 11-04-07, 12:49 PM This deal also pertains to the Limited Collector's Edition of Call of Duty 4, correct?
Becomes an even better deal when using the Burger King coupon.
FreeBaGeL 11-04-07, 01:28 PM Burger King coupon?

Does the ad say that? If it doesn't, then good luck with that.

hahahaha.
you've denied being sloth for quite a while now... but now it is official.
cod3 online sucked.

BUSTED!:D
bryansj 11-04-07, 03:26 PM COD3 is only $19.99 at Target. Good luck reselling it.
Burger King coupon?
Visit your local burgerking, most of them have a pad of cupons on the counter, 'get $10 gift card with any Xbox game or accessory > $39.99'.

who is this sloth guy? Once again, this comparison resurfaces. Was this guy some kind of mod or something? I'd like to meet him someday if he posts like me. But anyways, COD 3 sucked online? I guess that's why it has been one of the most played games since its release last year. But just for comparison sake, lets remember that cod 3 supports MORE players than 4 and has driveable vehicles. Not to take anything away from 4, but they took a step back in these avenues despite the supposed improvements in overall gameplay. I don't deny that 4 will be much better overall than 3, but give credit where it is due please. The game doesn't suck online. You may suck at it online, but the game itself doesn't suck
Yeah it sucks. There's a reason why they're giving it away.
It was a huge let down from COD2.
formulanerd 11-04-07, 05:49 PM Yeah it sucks. There's a reason why they're giving it away.

my thoughts exactly. cod3 was a travesty, IW rocks.

COD3 wasn't too bad online but it wasn't great, either. I eventually went back to COD2 after about a month or so. COD3 weapons are unbalanced and the vehicles are basically useless. I hated the maps except for 2 of them, and why must there be vehicles to be considered a good game?
Do you have any idea if this also works for the ps3 version of the game? The link doesn't really specify, but I can't find this link anywhere on the CC page myself, so I have no idea :/.
Looks like a cool deal though, thanks!
Daekwan 11-04-07, 08:28 PM Whiskey if you really arent Sloth.. then you do a damn piss poor azz job of it.
Becuz god knows every post you write, everything thread you start, and the fake yet still generic "Who is the Sloth guy" reply you always give definitely makes you seem like SLoth II.
Either way man your cool with me, and help keep these forums what they should be..
FUN!
Quikzilver 11-04-07, 10:55 PM I'm all over this deal. Going to call CC tomorrow during lunch to find out if they have it yet or not.

Thanks
y2julio 11-05-07, 12:44 AM too bad I already own CoD3.
formulanerd 11-05-07, 10:24 AM from what i've read, you get CoD 3 OR CoD 2 free, whichever you want.
whiskey > work 11-05-07, 11:04 AM Thanks
hmm. is this a mail in?
Rhyvven 11-05-07, 11:06 AM Not available at MA store until 11/6.

BoomerBrian 11-05-07, 05:29 PM Yep...11/5 is ship date. When will we ever learn? lol
Gamestop called yesterday and said it will be in today. I called my local GS and sure enough it is in.
hmm. is this a mail in?
No mail in. They give you a $10 gift card at the register.
dabilee01 11-05-07, 05:58 PM i went to cc.com and went through the process of pre-ordering cod4, and the shopping basket ends up showing cod 4 for 30.00 and cod 3 for 29.99. if you can return cod 3 after you buy the bundle it essentially gets you cod4 for 30 bucks. not too bad if it works.
note: i believe you have to get the 360 versions of the games to be able to pull this off. if anyone wants to try this out, let us know how it goes!

If you proceed through checkout and get to the shipping options page you will notice that COD3 is out of stock.
It also shows COD4 as a package discount so your plan might not work. Buying it in the store may be a different story.
would BB or Walmart match this deal?
rdethloff 11-06-07, 11:41 AM FYI, I just went to the nearest CC and they said the said the game won't go on sale until 2:00. :mad: The guy stated they hadn't arrived from the warehouse yet.
abuharabi 11-06-07, 12:00 PM ^^^I went to walmart on the way in to work, and they said they won't have it for sale until tomorrow!
Mindwarper 11-06-07, 12:29 PM I want to know as well.
And can you get cod2 instead of 3?

Chris89Stang 11-06-07, 12:37 PM I just picked up COD4 at the local Circuit City. They didn't have it on the shelves yet, so I had to ask for it, and they had them stashed behind the front counter. I got COD3 (Gold edition) and a poster for free.
I went there and got NOTHING for free.. I was on my lunchbreak and drove like 8 miles just to get it from CC when I coulda got it at Sam's for 5 bucks cheaper and it woulda been closer. Well they were out of COD3 and they wouldn't give me a giftcard OR COD2.. I was pretty pissed but didn't have time to ask for and mess w/ the manager so I left.. I will be calling the store this evening..
tampabuc 11-06-07, 01:05 PM Yes, Best Buy will match the CC free COD3 deal (Tampa, FL). Just did it.
As usual, CC is always late and clueless. I just got back from there and the game hasn’t arrived yet. So...
Went right over to BB and got the game, COD3, and the Behind Enemy Lines DVD for $60. :D
I price matched Virtua Fighter 5 (360) for CC's $40 sale price while I was at it since of course CC didn't have that in stock either.

Which CC? I usually go to the Bruce B. Downs one in New Tampa and they've had problems getting games in on time... wondering if it's worth it to try after work or not or to just go somewhere else.

MrXpress, this was the CC @ Citrus Park. Always a disaster. I go to your location on occassion as well, not much better. Citrus did say they expected it by 2p so you should be ok for the drive home. If not, hit up the brand new BB in Wesley Chappel and get a free crappy non HD-DVD as well. Good luck.
How did you go about getting Best Buy to price match? Is there an ad or coupon I can print out to show them its legit? I too went to my local CC at lunch and they said they wouldn't be getting it until 2:00! bogus!
tampabuc 11-06-07, 01:24 PM focus4, Yes, just make sure you have the Sunday CC ad for the free COD3 game.
A print out of this should work too...

Best buy matches, they were kind of picky. Asked me if CC had theirs in stock, didnt make any sense!!!!
MrXpress 11-06-07, 02:05 PM LOL, God bless Circuit City. First the BOGO sale, now this.
All I'll say is that I got COD3 + COD4 for substantially less than the price of COD4.
NLN987S 11-06-07, 02:41 PM 'Was just at CC (Tyson's Corner) to pick up my COD 4 (Xbox360) along w/ the free COD 3. I only paid $31 for the two games!!! Only 2 copies were left and there was another guy behind me trying to buy the last copy.
I quickly check the receipt and COD 4 is $29.99 at Circuit City!! :D
Charlie97L 11-06-07, 02:46 PM if you're in the DC area, don't bother with CC. the 2 stores i called said they didn't even get any posters in stock, and haven't had COD3 for weeks.

that was a mistake on their part.
it should ring up 29.99 and 30.00 for COD 3, for some reason they didnt charge you for COD 3

Nope.. The clerk scanned both items. COD 4 clearly says $29.99 on the receipt while COD 3 says $0.01. :D

bryansj 11-06-07, 02:59 PM just got my deal at CC and they only charged me $30 for both cod3 and cod4. Took $30 off of each game.

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r92/redstorm_photos/rec2.jpgDamn it. That's the CC I usually go to, but I decided not to pick it up today. That is a good deal. I wonder if they will get more shipments in by the end of the week and not catch their mistake.
You are talking about the one in the mall parking lot and not the one on Rt. 7 across from Best Buy, right?
Ok now you guys are getting 2 games for 30bucks total.. this is REALLY starting to PISS me OFF

Yup!!
dogmanky 11-06-07, 03:23 PM The 2 for $30 deal is a "glitch" in the "computer system" according to my local CC in Nashville (Cool Springs) CC and they wouldn't sell the 2 for $30..
I stayed home with a sick kid today so my wife was nice enough to go to CC and happen to be the 1st in line and found out this info.
Turns out that they only had ONE COPY of COD3 so lucky me.. I got the only deal at this store. My wife said there were alot of unhappy people in that place. I'm not surprised at all. CC sucks! Just glad they sucked today to everyone but me. :)
From this point on I boycott CC!!
Thanks for the tip. Picked up both at my local CC. Mine rang up as $59.99 for COD4 and $0.00 for COD3. I think I was the first one to pick one up, the cashier had to get the manager to ring it out correctly. Also, I was speaking with another worker and he mentioned he was going to put a COD3 aside so he could get the deal too. I think there were only a few COD3s available, so I am guessing a lot of people will miss out on the deal.
chad473 11-06-07, 03:56 PM they didn't have any left at mine, but since I already own 3 I didn't care.
Myrtledog 11-06-07, 04:06 PM I went to Circuit City around 2pm. They told me they didn't have any copies of COD3. It was 2:05 and the ad said the game would be available after 2pm. I thought they might be trying some scam just to get you into the store. After a long delay of waiting for the salesperson to talk to someone, they said I could either pick out another game worth $30 or they would take my name and call me when COD3 comes in. I looked through what they had and then decided to try to get a gift card for the $30 instead. She called someone and they said that's fine. So instead of COD3 which I was going to trade in anyway, I got a $30 gift card instead.
On my way home, I stopped at Blockbuster and traded in a few games, one of which was my original copy of COD3. Got $15 for it at Blockbuster. So I made out by basically getting an extra $15 from Circuit City. Not too bad.
FrankJ.Cone 11-06-07, 04:08 PM Grabbed CoD3 for free at CC. It would not ring up at the register so I had to go to customer service, they took care of it in under 2 min.

You must have visited the CC in "heaven" ... my CC customer service dept is a joke. :rolleyes:
FrankJ.Cone 11-06-07, 04:23 PM You must have visited the CC in "heaven" ... my CC customer service dept is a joke. :rolleyes:
I have shopped at CC exactly 3 times, Free game with Forza, Free game with Shadowrun and Free game with CoD4. Never had trouble and always had to go to the desk... not sure if thats normal or not. CC is really a PITA to get to so I only go for a great deal. I'll be back tomorrow to grab Virtua Fighter... wish I had paid attention and known it was forty bucks!
bryansj 11-06-07, 04:27 PM Nope.. The clerk scanned both items. COD 4 clearly says $29.99 on the receipt while COD 3 says $0.01. :D
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r92/redstorm_photos/rec2.jpg
My receipt rang up exactly like this one. I didn't know the deal was buy COD3 and get COD4 for free. I didn't bother with the free poster...
RKRocha 11-06-07, 04:46 PM no COD3 in stock at CC (Garland,TX), so I didnt buy COD4.
tampabuc 11-06-07, 04:55 PM Wow, a lot of great deals and glitches found today! Almost as sweet as the 360 HD-DVD+boxsets fun. I love the internets.
Sounds like everyone is making out OK. Most importantly, you have the game and no one paid the GameStop/EB Corporation a dime for the game or a pre-order. There is hope for humanity after all.
just called my local circuit city and they are already out of call of duty 3 but said they are issuing rain-checks.
Sunkist 11-06-07, 06:02 PM I got to my Circuit City at 2:30 and they had sold out of CoD3 two hours before, I should have come on my lunch break! I was kind of annoyed even if I had no desire for CoD3 free is free. Wish my store had waited till 2pm to sell like others did.
CC pulled the same bait and switch here. No COD3 available, no gift card or raincheck offered either. :mad:
Picked it up anyways since I've been anxiously awaiting the release of this game (and I've heard COD3 is pretty lousy anyways)
football76 11-06-07, 06:15 PM price matched at BB, got a copy of Behind Enemy Lines and COD3 free so I'm more than happy.
Wow, it looks like you guys got some great deals. I went to pick it up at CC for ps3 and it was full price, and no cod3... but i got a poster.... yay?
Haha, I shoulda just bought it for my friend's 360.
rocketknight73 11-06-07, 07:49 PM I just returned for CC in Toledo, Oh (Spring Meadows- Airport Hwy) and they were sold out of COD 3 so they are replacing that with a gift card worth $32.04! I think that's a better deal instead of getting an old game that most people have or have played.
Now I will wait for some more HD DVD sales and use that GC.:):D
Both CC I went to (Metro center and N. Scottsdale) did not have any CoD3, nor were they issuing any rainchecks or giftcards. they just said 1st come 1st serve. One of them mentioned that they 'might' be getting a shipment of CoD3 on Thursday, but I would have to return the game i bought and re-buy the game to get the 'free' CoD3. I already have CoD3 and I used the Burger King Coupon, so I got a $10 gift card. If I am in the mood, I may try getting the CoD3, but really I have no need for it, unless it is the gold edition with the extra maps, then it may be worth it (and trade in my existing game). But then again, I have not played CoD2 since CoD3 came out, and likely I will not play CoD3 anytime in the future anyways.
Well after trying twice today for BB to match the deal, and the cashier telling me that they cant do it unless CC has them both in stock (dont know why it matters anyway). I thought I'd play stupid and send my girlfriend the 3rd time, but this time she went to the customer assistance desk with the PS3 versions of the games. She even told them that CC is out of them, and they matched it for the PS3 versions. How retarded is that, now i get to go backand exchange the game for the 360 version. Incredible how some stores operate.
Krieger119 11-07-07, 01:14 AM Good times for me ... went to CC at 2:30 and noticed a ton of PS3 CoD4 behind the register. I got on line asked for the 360 version and they told me they didn't have it yet. Went down to Customer Service and asked whats going on with the 360 CoD4 and they told me that UPS is late. SO I said,"But the ad says its supposed to be here by 2pm ... aren't I supposed to get a gift card now?" I got a $20 gift card. Went to work. Found out around 5pm they had the 360 version in stock. Ran over got the game (with the gift card I got earlier), but they didn't have any more CoD3 games so I got a raincheck. WOOT!!! Basically I got CoD4 for 40 bucks + I'll be getting CoD3 (which I'll most likely Ebay) for free soon as its in stock ... oh and I got the customer service girl's number ... can anyone say ... EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT!!!!!!! :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:
BTW, don't fall for that first come first serve BS ... she tried that with me and whipped out the ad and showed her that its first come first serve for the poster but the CoD3 for free is in it's own red box.
Quikzilver 11-07-07, 01:24 AM My buddy and I were the last ones to get a copy of COD3 with COD4 at our local CC. Took 30 minutes for them to ring us up though because one of the copies was a return from the chick ahead of us so their inventory didn't show 2 copies, just one. I was seriously exhausted from the ordeal...
BOSTON-HD 11-07-07, 08:16 AM Yes....CC sucks! I went in & they said no more COD3 left, but the inventory screen said they had one copy left. I went thru every single game in the bins & I found COD3 (Regular COD3 no Gold Edition) mixed-in with other games! No copies of the poster & to be honest, I don't care.
Had to wait like 15 minutes until they could get the pricing right for the free copy. No 2 games for $30.00 like some, but 2 for $59.99 which is a good deal. I just bought COD3 from BB last week & lucky for me I didn't open it up! Returned it to BB yesterday.
All-in-all it took me like 35-40 minutes to get out of there! At least I scored my free copy of COD3 that I wanted for Single Player anyway!
Alex
the red worm 11-07-07, 11:31 AM got this price matched at BB
Went to CC on Tuesday and they had COD3 but no COD4 until later afternoon. Went back and purchased COD4, they gave me the free poster, and then said they were out of COD3. No substitutions, no credit. The mgr wrote on the receipt that I get COD3 with this purchase and they special ordered it for me for no charge.
Mindwarper 11-09-07, 12:38 PM After a bit of a hassle, the bestbuy matched the cc deal. I was about to leave and go to cc when the manager changed her mind. I was getting a little mad at the waste of time. But I got both for 60$ Who ever got both for 30$ is ****in lucky. Great deal. But cod4 looks great. Too bad about no co op.
RKRocha 11-09-07, 02:42 PM I went to CC last night and looked for a cod3 copy. None available so I went to customer service to see what they could do for me. They checked around at other stores and offered either to order cod3 for me or a $24 gift card. I went ahead and took the gift card.
BB matched the PS3 version for my girlfriend. But i tried twice for the 360 versions with no luck.

can you scan your receipt, i want to take it to my CC, they said they couldnt give me a raincheck or a giftcard/discount, and i call BS. i went at opening and all the COD3's were probably pulled because they were "sold out"
many many times has CC pulled the bait and switch on me, and i'm tired of it.
went to best buy to price match and that bitch wouldnt do it! Said only for the price not a free game! I just bought it on CC

No man I'm sorry. I don't have a scanner or a printer. I know, I know. I just send anything I need to print to my email and print it at work.:(
Wish I could be more help.
I just depends where you go. It's not ALL CC's or BB's that are cool with PM's or suck at PM's. It's all about the manager on duty.
