Woohoo! This week, Dell is selling the Simpsons Game for the Xbox 360 for $24.99 after a $15 savings.

http://accessories.dell.com/sna/products/Xbox_360/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&l=en&cs=cadhs1&sku=A1310589

Future Shop and Best Buy have it for $49.99, so after the PM it becomes $22.49.

Decent price for a fun little platformer. They also have lesser savings on the other versions, this link should take you to them: http://search.dell.com/results.aspx?s=gen&c=ca&l=en&cs=&k=the+simpsons&cat=all

Highly recommend PMing this rather than getting it from Dell.. who knows when you'll get anything from Dell.

I preordered Mario Kart and STILL have not received it.. 2 weeks after it's been released.

I'm currently playing this right now on the 360 and I'm loving it. The demo wasn't a good representation of the game.

Good price for this game. I wouldn't pay regular price for it but for $25 you get pretty good entertainment value for this.

Thanks OP; my wife wanted this game bad, I didn't want it though; however for 22.50 (i just price matched it at FS), you can't go wrong...

Thanks for the information. I rented the game when it first came out and really enjoyed it, but I never got around to finishing it. I'll have to pick it up.

It's also dropped to $29.99 for both PS3 and 360 at my local Wal-Mart. I am guessing others will see the same.

thanks
pm'ed at FS for 22,50

hey if its not too much hassle, would you be able to provide a scan of your receipt?

it would help in case an FS employee does the whole "we dont PM dell crap"
this way i could just say a friend of mine did it, so why can't i?....

but yeah its not a big deal, only if you have the time. Thanks.

The demo for this game was BRUTAL! Think I'll wait another year or so until I can get it used for 5 or 10.

Who buys games when they first come out anyway? 60 bucks for GTA 4? HA! I'll take it for half that in 6-12 months

if they start hasseling you, just tell them to show you where on their PM policy it says they don't match internet ads. it doesnt. i had this problem with a 20.00 PM of the wireless 360 controllers, and i called FS headquarters, complained, and got 2 controllers for 19.99. if anything, they'll just say we're gonna PM and add the shipping, which is fine since dell shipping is free :razz:

heh well I just looked up on best buy's website, and it says:

So im pretty sure they can't refuse it. I'll try it out tonight and see how it goes.

I PM'd it at Bestbuy. They first tried to add on extra $5 for shipping charges. I told them dell ships for free. They said no they checked and it didn't. I said go check again. They went into the back, and within 5 seconds, basically meaning they didn't even check, they just came back and said OK to the free shipping (as if they were just seeing if they could get away with it or not =\).

And then they tried to take off only $1.50, but I mentioned it's a $25 price difference. He's like no we sell it for $39.99.......I told him to go check again, because the website says best buy sells it for $49.99. He said, he did check, I told him to check one more time. He says "oh, sorry".

But yeah in the end I ended up getting it. Thanks again OP.

The game is worth $25 (not $40 probably) if you are a fan of the simpsons, casually or hardcore. The later levels are better than the first few I find. DO NOT JUDGE BASED ON THE DEMO! The demo is not representative of the game!

This deal is dead, but for any of you who missed this, Amazon.ca has the 360 version (not sure about Ps3) for $19.99.

EDIT: Never mind, I think amazon re-adjusted their prices today, its selling it for $40

I buy games like GTA IV, Bioshock, Mass Effect, etc. when they first come out, so I can finish them before they get spoiled. Same thing with some books... you can wait a few months for the cheaper paperback to be released, but on the way to Chapters to pick it up, you'll probably pass someone wearing a "Dumbledor Dies" T-shirt. Oops!

As far as the more genero, no plot games, I would agree... just wait for a 2/$40 or 2/$30 at RV.
