Right on Target: Halo 3, Metroid Prime 3 for US$ 30 each (if you're lucky)

A simple graphical error on a banner ad in Target just might get you the deal of the century. An online forum thread pointed us to the said Target ad, and we checked it out. True enough, they're offering Halo 3 and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for US$ 30 each. We've screen capped the image below.

Before you get all clicky-clicky on our Read link though, there's a very big disclaimer here. While the banner ad has the titles clocked at 30 bucks, their individual product pages list them for their real price - Halo's got 60, Metroid's on 50. Now, lots of people have called Target about the said banner and if they could get the games for the price as advertised on the banner ad - and not the price on the product page. And y'know what? Some of the good, friendly ladies in Target's customer service actually honored the deal!

Other people in the forums have also said that it didn't work for them, saying that the customer service rep they talked to doesn't even know of the banner ad and that they've always had the games notched in their real prices. Some people have even said that Target's already fixed the banner ad - which is weird because when we visited the site just a few minutes ago, well, the screencap shows you.

Now, if you get that lucky cookie and persuade customer service enough... you never know! For what it's worth though, whether these two games come at a discount or not, personally, I'd still buy them. I'm sure a lot of you guys would still buy the games anyway, right? Regardless of price?

YEAH I WOULD!

# Well... — Guest 2007-08-12 14:55

They told me that they are not honoring the ad, and they know about the problem and are fixing it, but they DID give me a code for 10% off. Still a sweet deal! Go ahead and call!

# fools — Guest 2007-08-12 18:06

its a preorder, they are allowed to sell them for less...... i got jipped on fear this way.

# So what? — Guest 2007-08-13 02:25

Why even tell us qgay.net if we cannot get the cheap games or do anything? Just to know about it? SO WHAT!

# Got it!!! — Guest 2007-08-13 05:28

Why tell people? Because it worked for me! That's why. 2 of the most anticipated games of the year for $60 total. You just had to move quickly.

# asdasd — Guest 2007-08-13 06:19

# LAWSUITS R NECESSARY — Guest 2007-08-13 07:35

Bait and Switch.

I thought it was only prevalent in California...now it's on the INTERNET? FOMG

# it's not the deal of the century. — Guest 2007-08-13 10:39

how can it be the deal of the century? just wait like 2 years, and both games prices will be down to $30 or less. lol

# It was... — Guest 2007-08-13 16:00

it WAS the deal of the century because those are two of the most anticipated titles and you could get them both for the price of just halo 3 on the release date.. that was sweet deal!!!
