Well, drat and double-drat, I didn't get it this weekend. Here's why -- listen up EB Games customers.

There is a flyer in the stores with 2 specials:
#1
Buy any 2 of five games (incl. Fable, Star Wars, Sudeki and 2 others) and get $20 rebate.

#2
Buy Star Wars OR Fable PLUS the hint book and get $15 rebate.

On the flyer, its says these can be combined.

So... next weekend, I'll buy both Star Wars (out Tuesday) and Fable + one hint book. That will allow me to get $35 savings from the special above. Of course, my EB card will allow a 20% savings on the book, because it's bought with the game ($3 more).

Now, by then there may also be a used copy of Fable, for $5 more discount (plus 10% discount for buying used based on the EB card -- aprox $5 more) PLUS STILL AN ADDITIONAL $5 off any used game coupon I got (Entertainment book).

Count it up -- I'll get one game free plus some. If I can find a used Fable, I'll get a grand total of $35+$3+$15 = $53 total savings.

Of course, I'll just get a $38 savings if I have to buy new.

Either way you slice it, I need to wait a weekend. If I hadn't bought Sudeki yet, I could have gotten the deal this weekend (NOTE: because the two games plus book must ALL be on the same receipt).
