Zelda Bonus Disc -- $0.01 at Target, no Presale required! - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

I'm going there right now to verify.

IKEA_boy · 02-12-2003, 04:35 PM

Nope.

You need to pre-order the game. The person who told me this must've had an uninformed clerk give him the game.

You might as well delete this thread. Or close it. Whatever.

Forget TARGET and head to Wal-Mart. I picked it up for FREE a couple of days ago (no pre-order BS, just a handful of copies sitting there on the counter; cashier scanned it and tossed it in a bag), and if there are any more copies, I'm picking up another one for a family member.

Bless you, Sam Walton.

Curious, is Best Buy taking preorders yet?

I think so. There was mention of it in the ad today.

They are taking preorders at my Phoenix Best Buy, Though the preorder ticket, and the surrouding adds don't mention anything about a free Zelda game(s) preorder bonus.

Well I went on the 16th and I managed to get one of the last seven copies of OOT and preordered The Wind Waker.

Indeed.

I've been pissed about the whole best buy preorder issue.

I've had a Best Buy gift card since Christmas, and haven't had a "perfect" buy with which to use it (somehow I have a harder time using fake money than my own hard earned cash)-

well.... you couldn't preorder the game (zelda wind waker) in store, but you ALSO couldn't use a gift card online.

bestbuyguy says: "They're two seperate entities."

So. My brother in law, who was aware of my dillema, and works at target, picked me up a copy of the OOT and MQ disc at work.
For a penny.
Leaving me free to just purchase the game in store when released. Of course, now you can preorder IN besbuy, with the free disc included, but at the time I was cursing the system.

I suppose the trick is to get a "non video game informed" clerk to grab and ring it up for you, because the UPC does indeed ring up a whopping $0.01 charge to your purchase.

I may go preorder the damn thing anyway, so that I can give the free disc away. Or throw it at my friends. or skeet shoot. or...

I was at Target today, and picked up two copies for $0.01 a piece. I don't think the clerk knew what he was doing, so I lucked out. That makes four copies I have now!

Louie · 02-23-2003, 12:13 AM

Hey if someone could pick me one up I'd really appreciate it! No plac around here has them out :rar: ....

Triple HHH · 02-25-2003, 09:12 PM

You and me too, Louie.

If anyone has a couple extra discs for us, make donations to Louie and me.

Your not the only one with multiple copys. They've going for $18-$25 dollars on ebay, and there's over 200 listings.
