Best Buy sale: Buy one Xbox 360 game, get other half off photo

A lot of good sales are coming down the line this week for us gamers. Best Buy throws their hat into the ring with this Xbox 360 game offer.

Here's the deal: buy one Xbox 360 game and get another for half price. Or, roughly, $90 gets you two Xbox 360 games.  What's nice is that this deal isn't for those dogsh*t games that they keep up by the checkout counters. There's actually a list of over 200 good ones, ones like Madden 10, or that new BioShock/Oblivion combo pack. It's even good for pre-orders on games that haven't come out yet! BioShock 2, anyone? Modern Warfare 2, anyone?

Check out the full list here. Add one to your cart to see the 50% off link for the second.

Getting COD: MW2 (collectors edition) and Halo 3 ODST. Is this In store or online only? Do I have to pay off the full pre orders to get the 50% off?

Word on the street is PS3 games will see this deal next week starting on the 6th.

Excellent way to get pre-order some new games and basically get them for $45 a piece.

Holy crap! So many games to choose from!

I'm leaning strongly towards Left4Dead 2 and Modern Warfare 2.

But....Borderlands....Dragon Age....Forza 3 and Splinter Cell.....

HEAD = SPLODE

@Bulkmailer: You can pretty much cancel all other pre-orders from anywhere else.

Don't suppose there will be a UK version of this deal, probably not as games just keep on rising over here, would be nice though even if it was just for a week.

Do I have too pay for them at time of order, or shipping time?

Can't go wrong with Borderlands and Left 4 Dead 2. Nice to see not all of the games are $60 too.

Has anyone noticed some of the 50% online only deals don't actually ship online? Beautiful Katamari is on that list but it isn't available for shipping. B

No Left 4 Dead 2 on the list! =(

Oh well, I will use this deal for Modern Warfare 2/Brutal Legend.

@Butcher

Why would you want it though? For the price they're charging, you'll still have to shell out another $20 for the DLC for Katamari on the 360.

Seriously, if they do this deal for PS3 next week, I'm all over this.

Right now, I'll just snap up a few good exclusives and wait for next week to get the multiplatform titles on PS3.

I don't care that my 360 has run perfectly well the last 12 months. 3 RROD's in an 18 month span makes a guy kinda gunshy.

I'm pretty sure this is just to clear out old stock for the holiday season. what with the Fable 2 GotY and Gears 2 GotY packs coming out.

Last time I preordered games from Best Buy it was a month after release before I got 'em. This was in Canada though.. perhaps the sled dogs were tired or something.

Excludes pre-orders.

Stupid fine print.

Budboy311 is right. This deal doesn't work with pre-orders. Blast. I was really looking forward to assuring myself a copy of Borderlands.
