Posts Tagged ‘Best Buy’

I should have posted this earlier in the week, but Xbox 360 owners still have today and tomorrow to get some great deals.  Best Buy is running a promo that if you buy one game at full price, you can get a second of equal or lesser value at 50% off, and also includes free shipping! It’s not only games, but also includes some gear as well.  It appeasr that the promo runs through the end of this Saturday for Xbox 360, and rumor has it that next week PS3 owners should get similar treatement.  Wii the week after, maybe?

I looked through all the available items, and here are the Rock Band related items that are eligible for the current Xbox 360 promo:

• Rock Band 2 – $49.99
• Mad Catz – Rock Band 2 Triple Cymbal Pack – $39.99
• Rock Band Country Track Pack – $29.99
  
• Rock Band Classic Rock Track Pack – $29.99
  
• Mad Catz – Rock Band Fender Precision Bass – $69.99
• The Beatles: Rock Band game – $59.99 (starting next week, I guess the promo excludes pre-orders… sorry Xbox 360 owners)
• The Beatles: Rock Band limited edition bundle – $249.99 (see above)
• The Beatles: Rock Band special value edition – $139.99

[Best Buy buy one, get one 50% off]

I’m sure most of the people that read this blog already have the game pre-ordered, but if you haven’t, want to pick up your game the second it’s legally available, or just want to hang out with some cool Rock Band peeps, I’ve compiled the following list of locations, with any details I was able to find! If you know of any more, let me know in the comments, and I will add into the post. Thanks!

FYI – I cannot verify every single location, so before you go, just give them a call to make sure!

Wow, do they ever! In addition to demoing The Beatles: Rock Band on 9/9/09, starting at 8:00 a.m., prizes and memorabilia including gadgets, t-shirts, The Beatles: Rock Band software, and one-year Reward Zone Premier Silver memberships will be doled out.  Live local radio broadcasts will also be on site.  The big prize, though, is an all-expense paid trip to Abbey Road in London to see a number of historical real-life Beatles locations!

The only problem is, unlike the demos which are being held in about 800 stores across the US, Best Buy’s Beatles: Rock Band release day festivities and prizes will only be happening in 10 stores (see this link for a list of participating stores).  Hopefully you live close enough and can try your hand at winning the grand prize (if you do, can I be your guest?).

Starting last Sunday, a over 800 Best Buys locations across the US were lucky enough to get a playable demo of The Beatles: Rock Band… or at least they were supposed to. Some people (myself included) ran into snafus where some stores did not get the demo disc in time for the event.  I was able to play at one store, and finally show my parents the game (who may also buy a copy because they’re such big Beatles fans).  Some people were lucky enough to take pictures of the event, which I promised to send out.  Check them out, below! Feel free to send in more pics and I will try and post some of them!

Haven’t been able to get a clear answer, but I believe a number of the locations still have the demo, so if you want to try it out and have not yet, give your closest Best Buy a call to see if they still have it.  More details on Best Buy’s page here, as well as their list of participating locations.
