Usually their sales run from Sun- Sat. I wouldn't sit on this one too long as I'm pretty sure they will sell out. I went ahead and ordered mine online for in store pick-up this morning.

You can always bring the actual ad (not a photocopy or printout) to Walmart for a price match.

Picked it up without a hitch.

On a side note, there is a local Sears Advertisement for CoD4 for 360 for $39.99 and it says also available for PS3. YMMV, but if you can BS and prevent them from calling Sears, you can get CoD4 for $40 bucks too.

Same here. And with the $10 I've got in Reward Zone cash this is a no-brainer for me, even if it turns out to be a stinker. I at least want to check it out. I'm gonna try that $10 coupon in conjunction with everything, too, and see if I can get it for less than $20 (worth a shot)!!

Damn! I am so frustrated now that I cant belive it... I bought AC last weekend from GS @ 64.58 Now I cant believe that its this low... Is that with the 10$ cupon?

No, that is BEFORE the $10 coupon. So you could possibly pick this up for $28.

Thanks, $41 shipped. I was holding off on a deal and this was it I guess.

Great price! Thanks for the tip. I also got BB to pricematch DDR for the ps2 for 30$, woot!

Is this AC for both PS3 and 360? I thought the coupons are only 10% off, not 10$, or is there a different one?

Damn!

I assume GS wont give me credit for an open game?

I need to do something... Should I buy it for that price from BB use the 10 coupon and then take the unopened game to GS and get my money back? I bought this for 64.58 and sadly its not the best as i thought it would be.

It is repetitive, but still worth playing - well not worth the full price :)

And who buys games from GS, anyhow? :rolleyes:

Sale price of $37.99 - $10 off coupon - $10 in RZ certificates = Assassin's Creed out the door for $19.16 after tax. Even if the game is horribly disappointing, at that price I'll be alright ;)

I don't know if it's just me, but this game is TERRIBLE! The action is so boring that I never even care about the next mission. It may get better as you get further into the game but it's too boring now for me to even want to find out.

I did... I held off actually, but you could consider it as an impulsive buy. Personally I think its not, and here is why... AC was released around the same time since Uncharted - and I did hold off until now...

You do have a good point there :o Lesson learned!:rolleyes:

markrubin: My bad in regards to starting it.

Wow. Just wow.

Nothing to say, except maybe congrats. Deal of the month as far as I see it. ;)

Yeah, I feel like I won a contest...LOL. I've played for about 2 hours and feel like I've already got my money's worth. At the advice of another poster in the Official AC thread, I turned off all the HUD stuff and am using nothing but in game clues to navigate and accomplish my missions. Reminds me a lot of how I felt when I first got into the Hitman series. Good stuff. When I first got to Damascus I had a "Wow" out loud moment. It'll be interesting to see how Ubi fine tunes what will undoubtedly be a sequel.

It's only listed for PS3 for that price in the ad but the Xbox version is also $37.99 online.

it clearly states "not valid with any other offer or discount" but it sounds like some folks have had luck with the coupon on sale items.

The coupon worked for me. I printed the coupon and the cashier didn't bother to read the fine print. He tried to scan the barcode (which didn't work), so he simply punched in the code. I laughed and said my printer wasn't the greatest and I printed it on low resolution. No problems.

Just watch out playing this game on a Plasma, the health bar gave me some nasty image retention after a few hours, it is best to turn it off and after getting used to the gameplay and city layouts turn off the rest of the hud as well, it actually keeps the rest of the game from getting boring and repetative (no radar makes this game much harder and funner as well)
