*DEAD* Free Starcraft 2 Guest Pass Code

  So I realized after I purchased Starcraft 2, the box and everything inside of it was of no use to me. I still have an unused SC2 guest pass, as well as a WOW guest pass. I could easily pawn these off on Ebay for $1, but then I got an idea. How can I find out if anyone is even viewing/reading my blog.. I know! I'll give the codes out to whom ever responds to this post. So if your someone who has actually been reading my blog or just happen to stumble upon this page, then post a comment with your email and the codes are yours. You can also follow me as well, however, that is not required. Just saying.

Starcraft 2 for $49.99 @ Amazon

 Hey guys, if you missed out on the last deal Kmart had a couple weeks ago, Amazon is now selling the game for $49.99 FS w/ Amazon Prime (Link). Not that great of a deal, but if you can't hold in your urge of waiting any longer, than this might be the deal for you. Otherwise, I suggest you just wait because I have a feeling it will be at $40-45 pretty soon.

Finally Purchased Starcraft 2

  Well, I guess I finally pulled the trigger and decided to purchase Starcraft 2. There goes my precious $47 and you know where I bought it? One of my best friends, Ebay. Yup. Won it in an auction and with 3% cashback, I got back $1.40. All in all, I guess it wasn't that bad of a deal. I was really aiming for $40, but I guess you can't win them all. So with that said, now I shall go brush up my skills against bots using my 7-hour guest pass my friend gave me. The hunt is officially over.

Starcraft 2 Wings Of Liberty (PC) Released

  Hey again, Starcraft 2 initially released on July 27, but I still want to blog about this. Of course, if I really wanted this game, I would have pre-ordered months ago like everyone else did, but I decided to just be patient and wait for the price to drop. I mean... me spending $60 on a video game is just not likely to happen. So, I did what I do best and embarked on my quest for bargains and deals. Checking my main online hotspots, I looked through Amazon, Best Buy, Gamestop, and a few others. Kmart actually had a pretty sweet deal not too long ago where if you purchased Starcraft 2, they would give you a $20 game coupon. The only downside I saw to this was the fact that I don't even shop at Kmart and the last time I did was like 2-3 years ago. I was hoping there was a coupon code for Gamestop, but unfortunately there were none that could be applied. As for Amazon, coupon codes are very rare, so I was not expecting anything. I did, however, had a $10 gift card I redeemed through an online survey I took a while back. The problem here is that I "had" the gift card. I actually spent it a week before the release of Starcraft 2 on a pair of Asics running shoes. Now that I can honestly say was an awesome deal for myself. The pair of ASICS Men's Gel Kanbarra 5 Running Shoes sold for $42. Applying the $10 Amazon gift card made the cost go down to $32. Now here's comes in the money saver. The site was having a sale where all shoes were 40% off. That takes off another $17 making the final cost a total of only $15. Oh, and I forgot to mention they offered 2-day free shipping! Probably the best $15 I ever spent. Anyways, back to Starcraft 2. The best price I could find was $50 using cashback, but even at that price, I am still hesitate to click the add to cart button. Well, I guess I'll just have to wait it out. I'll probably just ask one of my friends for a 7-hour guest pass or something in the mean time.

Update on the Starcraft 2 Best Buy Price Mistake

 So this morning I checked my email only to find the dreaded cancellation email. The email titled "Best Buy Order Update" said the following message:

Dear DANIEL,

There was a pricing error on the Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty video game; as a result, your order will be cancelled and you will not be charged for this item. We are sorry for this error and apologize for any inconvenience.

 Within a few hours later, I received my refund of $5.49. Well, it was worth a shot. Honestly, I was hoping Best Buy would give me a small gift card or credit for raising my hopes up and making me go through the whole checkout process.I guess I'll just have to wait until Starcraft 2 goes on sale or I have some coupon or promotional code because I don't want to have to pay $60.
