$10 gift card with Brawl preorders at Circuit City

by Eric Caoili { Jan 18th 2008 at 9:45AM }

In addition to advertising that stores will soon have Wiis in stock (Minimum 5 per store), this Sunday's Circuit City circular has a $10 gift card offer for Super Smash Bros. Brawl preorders. It isn't as great or cheap as the Wal-Mart "deal," but since you're going to buy the game anyway, you might as well pick up something extra with it.

Don't feel like driving to a store to put down your $5 reservation? You can take advantage of the offer online right now, and it comes complete with free shipping!

[Thanks, Bob!]

Well not bad so far.... I'm still looking forward to a preorder "bonus item" ala' galaxy coin or maybe toys r us might offer another 25 gift card(doubtful). But! I wonder if there is going to midnight launch for the game? I really hope so. Cause this is a wii that truly deserves the honor of being brought at midnight. I mean this is the wii's "halo 3" in terms of how popular it is AND cause of the hype. Heck the creator updates the site almost everyday of the week. Anyhow great deal for brawl so far.

Nice, but I'm going to have to pass. I already have it preordered at GameStop, and it's not worth the trouble to switch. It's only $10, and with gas prices... yeah, besides, I am going to have to trust my local GameStop won't let me down. They tend to always get the games on time, unlike the other places around me...

I assume March 9th is the release date, not the ship date, because there is no shipping on Sundays. And I start classes again the day after, so I want at least one day of break with it...

$10 gift card... not bad.

Free shipping? uhm, I guess that's good, because I doubt anybody in their right mind wants to have to pay to wait for this game any longer than they already have. But still, here's hoping they have in-store pick up on that. I'm off to check.

Yeah, after all I've waited, I will not wait for it to ship to my house, even overnight. I want it the first day it's available.

I already have it preordered at Gamestop, so I ain't going to trouble myself with this when I could end up getting screwed over on day one.

Oh nos:

I'm not going to mess with it because I called to see if the gift card could be used when you pick up SSBB (obviously not online) but it has to be used on a separate transaction. So not worth waiting and hoping the store gets it late in the afternoon for free $10 to that store.
