LAST DAY (17 Aug) to get Tomb Raider for $1.07 or Bioshock Infinite for $19.99 at Target! PS3 or XBox 360!
Post Body

Just wanted to let you guys know that if you haven't picked up either of these games yet, then today is the last day the sale is good for! To get these great deals you'll need to go to target and have them price match Best Buy's ad which has TR for $19.99 and Infinite for $39.99. Then have a pre-buy card for one of the games that are comin out to get another $20 off! Some people have had a few problems so here are some tips that have helped me:

1.) Pick up a few spare items. Have the pre-order card as well before you ask for your game. They're going to have to take the item to the register to ring it up so it helps to have all your things beforehand. I usually get a season of TV on DVD because it will fall around the $25 range. Having extra stuff isn't necessary but I've had more luck with the spare items than without, especially with the Tomb Raider deal.

2.) ask for the game, then ask if they price match. Play dumb. They're less likely to be suspicious if they don't think you're working their system.

3.) Have the manager/AM do the price match then ring up your other items first saving the pre-order card for last. The manager should have walked off by now, most of them don't stick around. I had one that did, but I think it was because my cashier was fairly new.

4.) Finally, have them ring up the pre-order card. All the Targets in my area automatically took of the $20 though it appears in some they have system restrictions that won't allow it. If this is the case you can either refuse the entire transaction (which destroys your "play dumb" charade and completely destroys any chance of doing it again in the future) or you can go ahead and pay for it, returning it later with everything else.

5.) a few days later, return everything else (with your receipt) that you bought on that ticket and get your money back.

Congratulations! You've just got a crazy awesome deal! It's not fool-proof, but it worked for me. Hopefully it will work for you! Happy gaming!

EDIT: for clarity.
