In store only promotion. Works for Canada and US. Heard some rumors of retailers up here refusing coupon, so YMMV.

Is anyone playing this? I remember there was lots of good hype surrounding the beta but no one is posting about it.

Are there any restrictions? Say I found Blur for $40 on sale and used the coupon to get it for $20. Could I do that? When does it end?

It says it is not valid with any other offers.

You have to download a program to get the coupon. It's pretty shady.

Not really. Coupons.com is a long-running and verifiable site. You can simply uninstall the app once you're done with it.

Picked up Blur tonight (360) from Walmart for $40 CDN + tax. I heard Best Buy is not accepting it, so I just jumped to somewhere where I figure the average employee doesn't care about what discount I get. Regardless the coupon is legit and the company can get their $20 from the manufacturer. As far as I can tell the coupon installer neither killed my father or raped my mother.

I've used the coupon installer before, I think for Target online coupons. It did weird me out at first but I realized it was legit. Last fall I wound up getting clearance games for free or under $5 because of those coupons. SOmething about buy 1 get one $10 off or something.

I definitely googled it before doing the install, but seemed legit.

UPDATE - If you can hold fire on this, both Best Buy and KMart will be selling Blur for $39.99 from 06/20 through 06/26 - using the coupon brings it down to $19.99. Source (http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?sduid=285956&t=2084184)

The coupon says it's not valid with any other offers, will the 2 really stack?

Kelegacy

I bet they will stack. If not, it's worth a try. I saw this earlier on CAG. I'm going to give it a go and maybe even use a BB giftcard too boot. :)

It will be easier to have it go through at K-Mart probably. I heard some BB's weren't even taking the coupon. Who knows.

Ultimately it's up to the MoD (Manager on Duty) at Best Buy. KMart is a little 'lighter' on this, so that's probably a safer bet.

Printed one just in case. Now to decide which platform to get it on if I decide to.

Printed the coupon, and I have a spare best buy rz certificate which bring its down to 15.

and based on the link above apparently Best Buy is also coming out with a $10 off coupon for reward zone members, we'll have to see how they stack.

I went all over the place here, and no one seems to accept it.

I don't *really* care, as I wasn't that keen on getting the game, but still, meh.

In my experience, Best Buy coupons always stack. However, since this is a special manufacturer's coupon that the manager will likely have to manually approve, YMMV.

I tried using this at Best Buy and the manager was power tripping, saying that "there's no way to verify that it's not a photocopy." I explained exactly why it was a valid coupon with it being printed through coupons.com, and even explained printer technology to show that it was a legitimate inkjet print, but she still wouldn't accept it.
Walked over to Target in a different section of the mall and the guy in electronics called his manager for the manager approval code and walked out with the game within 5 minutes.

Definitely YMMV with acceptance of the coupon.

Went to Best Buy this afternoon and was able to use both the $10 off reward zone gamer's club coupon and the $20 one from the website. With the $5 certificate I had that brought the total to $6.49, score!

The Best Buy in Security, MD refused the coupon, even though the manager went online to confirm its authenticity and it checked out.

Jackel
06-20-2010, 03:32 PM
The Best Buy in Nampa, ID took the coupon without even checking to see if it was legit. Through in a 5$ reward zone coupon I had and got Blur for 17$ after tax.

Drayven

Damn, you shoulda logged into the reward zone page for another $10 off

Kelegacy

My store couldn't get the coupon to work at first and then a manager person said they wouldn't take photocopies of coupons. I said it wasn't a copy, but an actual, unique coupon. She left and came back and they still had trouble but finally took $20 off and took a photocopy of the receipt to send in with the coupon for reimbursement.

I was planning on using the RZ coupon as well, but after that hassle I didn't want to press my luck. $20 for a new game released last month isn't bad. $10 would have been better, but oh well. I didn't have a copy of the RZ coupon but I did have UPC code...but again I didn't want to even bother.

Jackel

Where was the RZ coupon? I couldn't find it in my reward zone site.

Drayven

go to the reward zone page and in the middle column click on " go to gamers zone" or something similar, then at the top of the right column on the next page there is a 'special offer' box with a link to "see all special offers", click that link and it's on that page.

If you can get the 10$ coupon to stack with the 20$ that is a sweet deal. Everyone should at least try.

I'm planning to give it a shot today, I'll let you guys know how it goes for me.

EDIT: Coupon stack success. The manager had to come over and approve the manufacturer coupon, but she didn't have any problem with it and the deal rang up for $12 after tax. Win. As an added bonus, it was the last copy in stock.

Thanks for the heads up! :D

FFS Wal-Mart Canada is selling Blur for $40 next week. If I had waited one week I could have gotten the game for $20 after coupon. I suppose I can try to go back for price adjust. Or rebuy w/ another coupon and return with original receipt. Both of these thing sound like too much work.

Let me know how you guys like the game. I'm on the second "level" and unlocked the third, and I like most of it other than the checkpoint missions. I can't seem to gold some of them with certain cars. Pieces of shit. And I just want to play Project Mario Kart Gotham, not a standard racer! Let me destroy people!

We're at about the same point, because the leaderboards show your fan numbers or points for each event I've completed.
The D class cars are completely unbalanced, the 350Z should not suck as much as it does, and the Beetle is overpowered.

As a racer, I get nearly no fans for running a pure line and a good race, but when I play like Mario Kart I get a ton of fans but am no where near the leaderboards. But I'm still having fun with it.

I hate the lightning bolt weapon. I try to avoid it at all costs, or drop it outright. Unless I'm far behind, anyway. What sucks is when like 3 or 4 people all get the weapon one after the other and you're trying to race around a minefield of blue domes.

The weapons aren't as fun as I'd like, or don't do crazy damage like I'd rather see, but I enjoy getting to the front of the pack and dominating by shooting behind me. I got Bully points yesterday for adding insult to injury to the people way behind me. Haha.

I also like that most weapons shot at you can be negated by attacks of your own. Barge is very helpful for that reason alone.

Drayven
06-22-2010, 02:26 PM
The weapons themselves don't do much damage it's all about how you use them. A bolt isn't gonna hurt someone but hitting them with a bolt as they head around a curve that's a little different. You can also barge people into obstacles and what not

Anyone have the game on PS3 and not pick up the game at Best Buy? I have a Dodge Viper ACR code that someone can have. I just unlocked the stinkin' car in-game by getting to fan level 10. I forgot all about entering the code until tonight and I didn't want to exit the game to go back to the dashboard and enter the code. A few minutes later I unlocked it naturally.

Let me know and I can PM the code. PS3 version only.

Picked this up at the Best Buy on Mexico Ave. in Denver - no problems redeeming both coupons. Got a $60 game for $10. Frugal is as frugal does.
