Target discounts PS3 big time

The PlayStation 3 got hacked. For cheap, that is. On Target. The retailer has slashed off major bucks from the console's price tag, and by major, we mean up to US$ 100 bucks off.


 

Do take note, though, that the US$ 100 off is just the least of what you can get. In order to avail of this, you must purchase a Blu-ray movie, upon which you will be given the gift card of US$ 100. This gift card must be specifically used for a PS3 only, though.

On top of that, if you do buy your PS3 with that gift card, you will be getting another US$ 60 gift card, which you can then add up to your purchase of the PS3. Making math easy for you, that means you can get a whopping US$ 160 off the normal retail price of a 160GB PS3, currently at US$ 299. 

 

That means, you can get your PS3 for a massively cheap US$ 140! Deals like this definitely don't come by often, so you'd be missing out on a lot of if you don't grab this quick. Target's running it for this week only, so what are you waiting for? Get your PS3 now! PSN service not guaranteed included.

Did you follow the link in the article. If you go tho the Examiner's site they give you the instructions:
Quote:
1: Buy the Blu-Ray movie at the registers near the front of the store as the electronic department doesn’t have the coupon printer available to them.

2. Buy the movie first, get the $100 coupon, and then purchase your PS3.

3. All movies should work for the promotion.

4. The $60 promo ends on Saturday (May 28th).


I would guess that, since a coupon printer is involved, there should be some sort of coupon lookup that the cashier can do, so if they don't know what you're talking about, ask them to check their computer.

the $60 gift card when you buy a ps3 is true... its on there weekly ad at target(dot)com, but the $100 gift card seems a bit far fetched.

It's worth a try if you plan on getting a PS3.

I've done some digging on this and so far I haven't found anything solid. The $60 gift card is apparently in their ad so that's pretty much definite but reports on the $100 one are a bit spotty.

I've seen people say you need to buy a blu-ray, one or two people have said you need to buy two blu-rays, and one person reported that the coupon prints randomly when you buy any item from electronics--meaning that if your purchase includes something from electronics, when the cashier totals it out, there's a chance that the coupon for the $100 gift card toward a ps3 will print. They guy who told the story said the cashier hooked him up by cancelling and rescanning his purchase until the coupon printed for him. Again, this is one guy's story and I haven't seen anybody else corroborate so take it with a grain of salt. I'm not in the market for another ps3 right now so I won't be testing this but if anybody does and can confirm it, I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be grateful.

A little more digging over on slickdeals slickdeals.net/permadeal/52063/target-160gb-playstation-3-60-target-gift-card and it seems that it's true, but they're not supposed to allow you to combine the two offers. You get a $60 gift card for buying a ps3 OR, if you have the randomly printed coupon (I'm still fuzzy on whether you have to buy a bluray or just anything electronics to get it but every story has been when people bought a bluray) you can get a $100 gift card instead.

That said, some people have managed to combine the offers because the cashier went ahead and did it without knowing that they're not supposed to. One guy was apparently hassled by the managers but since they'd already completed the transaction, he had the gift cards and receipt in his pocket and the ps3 was paid for, it was too late for them to back out (they tried to tell him to give the gift cards back but he refused). So anyway, in all likelihood, the best you're gonna' be able to manage is $100 gift card after buying the ps3, but if you're lucky/sneaky you might be able to pull off the $160, but either way, you can't use them toward the purchase of the ps3.

The $100 coupon did not generate the first time I tried to buy a Blu-Ray. I returned it and tried several times. The $100 coupon generated the third time.
I used the $60 gift card to pick up an HDMI cable, SSF4, Vanquish, and Buzz quiz world in Target's clearance rack for $15 each.
I'm holding onto the $100 card until Infamous 2 drops ;-)

So I went to Target today to grab this deal of a lifetime. The $100 gift card and the $60 gift card are both true but, you only get them after you have purchased the PS3. You are not able to actually use them towards the system.

# Electronics cashierTgtlife 2011-05-25 02:37
I work at Target I'n electronics and the oddest thing happened! A man came with a 100 dollar coupon for a ps3 (I'n my head I was said to myself if this guy Is dumb or just gullible) I called one of the stores security and they verified the coupon as valid! So the man got away with 160$ worth of giftcards and this happened twice today! Just got out of work baffled

All,

the $100 is real and confirmed by a Target employee, but is only on certain titles. So all of you that had success please share the title of the blu-ray movie you got with the discount.

I just went to Target and asked the Store manager about the $100 coupon towards PS3 if I buy a blu ray. He said there is no such coupon. HE said the $60 gift is true but $100 is not. Can anybody confirm that this is really ture????

Thanks,

This is 100% true. My buddy went to target yesterday right after reading this post. He bought a blu ray disk (Iron Man i think) and when he paid for it the coupon didn't come right out so he had the cashier do it a few more times and it eventually got him the $100 gift card PLUS the $60). You may need to press the sales people or managers a bit but its definitely true as he walked out of target with the $160 off
