Best Buy is selling Tekken 6 for the Xbox 360 for $39.99. There is a printable coupon located on their Reward Zone gamer site for $30 off, making it $9.99. Good in store only, not online. Coupon expires 8/22.
If you do not have a RZ membership you can join for free just to print the coupon.
Just got back from BB. The coupon scanned but it didnt take off anything, it said $0. The game came up at $29.99, so maybe that was the problem. I had to wait about 15 min for some supervisors/managers to figure out if the coupon was legit...sheesh...it rang up on the computer that should tell them something. They had to do an override to give it to me for $9.99.
So, I highly doubt you will get it for FREE, especially since the coupon says "Just $9.99".

I was the most hated customer as I created a very long line while they summoned a manager. Too much work for the discount. The manager claims it doesn't work because the game went on sale the same time as the coupon. Online ordering only for now on & I doubt it will be with BB.

As you guys know already, it is $29.99 now. So I checked out 2 item, one is this tekken 6 and another is fanta which is $1.69 for filler. But the coupon didn't work and the cashier called manager. Manager told the cashier that I have no idea why this coupon doesn't work. It means that lots of people used this coupon already. The cashier said that because the amount is less than coupon, it is not working. At this point, I got an idea.
If you gonna use this coupon, make sure the total amount is over $33(9.75% tax in california). Then I believe that it should be work.

It's gonna be very hard to get it for free. Once the coupon is scanned, it shows "Get Tekken for $9.99" on the screen of register. So far most people at cheapassgamer got it for $9.99, including myself.
No, sorry, they just did the override for the fact that the coupon was ignored... still $9.99 - just didn't have the line backup or anything. But I wish I had remembered to try your theory on getting $33+ in merchandise! Rats... I'm curious to know if that would have worked!
I will be giving this a shot tonight on my way home from work. I will make sure to post my results when I get home. (fingers crossed )
haha, so much simpler to pick mine up for clearance from target a few weeks ago. nice game by the way!! definitely one of my favorites, along with blur (also got for 9.99)

Picked one up yesterday. Coupon came up 0.00 and they adjusted the price to 9.99. I checked the gamerzone coupon from my account and the one here and they are the same. The coupon is not unique to your account.
I went to bb yesterday and they where out of the 360 ver so they gave me the ps3 one + the manager when I pointed out it said 30 off said that's odd I'll just penny it out for you ultra ymmv
This game should be $7.50 at TRU using the HALO Reach $10 off coupon (good for all XBOX 360 games over $10, available at the counter). Only good until tomorrow.
All 360 (and PS3) clearance games ending in 8 or 0 are discounted an additional 30%. Several XBOX 360 games can be had for about $1 to $3 using said $10 coupon.

I did, I found a $5 PSP game to go along with it. The cashier had to put in $30 off manually. Total is $36.73 - $30 = $6.73. No compliant about it.

FYI, for those trying to do the deal today - last day. BB updated their computers. The coupon now automatically takes $20 off instead of $30 because the game dropped to $29.99 before coupon. So still $9.99 + tax. Those who got it free earlier in the week lucked out.
TRU Halo Reach collectible $10 of any Xbox 360 game coupon expired yesterday 8/21, so no go at TRU.

Atlanta-Perimeter Store (Hammond Drive) is one of the few that shows availability in Atlanta. Shelf was empty, so I went to a manager to complain, she went straight to a cage next to door where they had plenty. I was curious/upset that they "hid" them there. Coupon worked fine, no problem. Thanks guys!

North Point had over 30 copies when I was there this weekend. Maybe their site is wrong.

I got lost in games when I got home.
No such luck for me though. I bought Tekken and GTA IV in hopes it would be less noticeable, but the coupon still required a manager override (causing the line to backup). I can't complain about a $10 game though.
