Best Buy’s “buy 2 get 1 free” sale begins on Sunday
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
“Buy 2 get 1 free” sales are traditionally reserved for the holiday season. That isn’t preventing Best Buy from initiating the deal once again, though.
The retailer is offering the sale beginning this Sunday through January 23. Consumers can choose from any title, on any system – portables included. The only limitation appears to be that the games must be at least $29.99. The deal is a perfect opportunity to take advantage of for those who missed out on releases such as Donkey Kong Country Returns or Kirby’s Epic Yarn last year.
