Deal: Guns of the Patriots for $50, with $10 gift card

by Andrew Yoon { Jul 13th 2008 at 4:39PM }

So if you haven't heard, Metal Gear Solid 4 is a pretty amazing game. If for some reason, you read this blog, and you don't have this game (why is that?!), this deal from Circuit City should help you get Solid Snake's latest adventure. The retailer is offering the game with a $10 discount, making it only $50 -- but they're throwing in a free $10 gift card for good measure. This is an incredible deal for such a recent release.

[Thanks, Juan S.!]

Wow, nice one Circuit City (and PS3F/Juan). I've heard they're in desperate times, this definitely helps them a bit. Make a lot of fans/customers, though they probably won't make much profit. (~$40 MGS4?!)

The Gift Cards are sponsored (already paid for), meaning it cost them ~$10 not 20.

not in Canada apparently :(

Why would you expect Circuit City in Canada? TheSource is not really a Circuit City clone.

BTW...Amazon.ca had it for $49.99 in pre-order + a $10off new customer coupon (just set up a new email address) ... I did get it in Canada for this price.

Right now its $54.99 - $10 (MAPNEWNCSAVE is the coupon code)

Dammit! Oh well, the game is worth the 60 bucks I paid for it in my opinion, but now people sitting on the fence definitely have no excuse to not pick it up.

I hate fun games.

PC-Max @ Jul 13th 2008 5:15PM

Don't have the game and don't plan on buying it. I never really liked the series although I do not know really what this game is like except through vids on youtube and here. And it still does not appeal to me, neither does GTA. There is nothing really appealing to me.

I am not critiquing the game, its just not my type. Without a variety of tastes or games... the PS3 would really have a small following. I am waiting for Half-Life 2 EP3, sequel to Drakes Fortune, Resistance 2, Little Big Planet and boy am I really waiting for the Killzone 2.

GASP!
OH TEH NOEZ!

bkalasin @ Jul 13th 2008 5:42PM

Agreed. LBP and Uncharted 2 will be high on my list as well. Sadly, you're a brighter man than I. I was dumb enough to get swept up in all the hype, and bought the fool game about a week ago for full price. $@#^%&*!

bkalasin @ Jul 13th 2008 5:45PM

And a new Half-Life 2! Not flirting with you, I swear, but you have fantastic taste in video games. Lol.

HernanG @ Jul 13th 2008 8:23PM

are you dumb...
I agree with you that those you say are fantastic but, come on! Not played GTAIV and MGS4?!!!
Those games are fantastic! I only own GTAIV, but if it weren't that i'm totally out of cash I would buy MGS4(played it on friends house).
MGS4 is truly a piece of viedogame art. It brought me a feeling I hadn't experienced since.. i dunno... Ocarina of time and Banjo Kazooie ages.

ChodalBerryWagon @ Jul 13th 2008 8:26PM

Yeah, same, to me it just doesn't seem like my kind of game.
I played I think the first one on PS1 and it was funny, but kind of boring. Plus I tried out the MGO beta and didn't really enjoy that.
Also, apparently you need to know pretty much the whole story before getting this game if you want to know what the hell is going on.

So, I would really like to get this game, but I just don't think I'm going to get that much enjoyment out of it... :(

sgt barone @ Jul 13th 2008 5:21PM

its prolly cheap cuz sales plunged after the first week of release.

Kodros @ Jul 13th 2008 5:56PM

Which happens to just about every game. It did drop very low in the Jap market but thats just because 25% of PS3 owners bought it in the first week.

BLee @ Jul 13th 2008 8:32PM

preeeetty sold out around me..

Hi,

I work with a client who is interested in some visibility on your
website http://playstation.joystiq.com/. They work in a similar niche and provides game reviews to
their users. They are interested in getting a short mention from your
website, maybe about a game or about their site.

Let me know if you are interested so we can discuss the price for this.

Regards,

Jay Haffling

I went to a Circuit City in MN and it rang up for 49.99, but no gift card. I asked about it and two people said "a package isn't available yet." After showing them the ad they got a customer service manager over and he spent about 20 minutes at the terminal before giving me my $10 card. I talked to a friend that went to another store in MN and had the same problem, but said it after showing them the ad that it only took about 5 minutes for the clerk to issue the $10 card.

Will @ Jul 14th 2008 3:47PM

Tricked the Circuit City Guys!!! I made them think that the game was 50 bucks AND I get 10 gift card. So my game was 40 Brand NEW! So go out and find the new loser employee that just finish training and tell him the ad says $49.99 WITH a $10 Gift card. Happy Hunting! :P
