rebates at compusa

Does anyone know what the qualifications are for the compusa rebate for the nascar and viper sims? ($24.99-$24.99=FREE=Smiling Racing Fan) What trade-ins do they want?

I read the coupon, and it said you need s sports game by either EA, Accolade, Access, GT Interactive, or Eidos. So I picked up Jack Nickelous 4 for $5.99 and think that qualifies :-) BTW, that rebate is for the game in general and not something special at CompUSA. I also was at a local Babbages and saw that they removed *ALL* the coupons from their NR1999 games. You can still see the sticky marks where the coupons used to be. When I asked about it, the manager said the coupons were removed by the MFR.

At my local CompUSA, I noticed this too. But they did have the stickers on the boxes just a couple weeks ago, so I wonder whats going on.

>Does anyone know what the qualifications are for the compusa rebate for >the nascar and viper sims? ($24.99-$24.99=FREE=Smiling Racing Fan) What >trade-ins do they want? A sports title from a competitor. Note, however, that the CompUSA ad is in error. It lists NASCAR 2 (at $24.99) as being part of that rebate plan. N2 is NOT one of the games Sierra offers this deal on. They DO offer it for NASCAR 1999, but the game is $44.99 at CompUSA -- not $24.99. It's still a net-to-zero rebate, of course; it just will cost you more up front. -- http://www2.cruzio.com/~keeper/toons.html - Animaniacs, P&TB, F!, etc. files http://www.armory.com/~keeper/midi.html - My own MIDI files - Updated 3 Oct.

nascar 2 does qualify as well-as do a few other sierra sports titles. go out and buy, buy buy

Where did you get this information? ========================== ==========================

i was just there today they did remove the cupons from the box but replaced them with rebate vouchers located on their rebate voucher board inside the store hope this helps MJR

>>nascar 2 does qualify as well-as do a few other sierra sports titles. go out >>and buy, buy buy >Where did you get this information? He certainly didn't get it from Sierra's actual rebate coupon. It specifically lists the titles that are supported by this offer, and NASCAR 2 is not one of them. It's all their new releases (some yet to be released): NASCAR Racing 1999 Edition, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Racing, Viper Racing, Football Pro 99, etc., etc. -- http://www2.cruzio.com/~keeper/toons.html - Animaniacs, P&TB, F!, etc. files http://www.armory.com/~keeper/midi.html - My own MIDI files - Updated 3 Oct.

That is what I thought when I asked it. Thanks!

Is this going to be an add-on for N2? If not, then somebody please fill me in. Thanks! ========================== ==========================

>> NASCAR Craftsman >>Truck Racing, >Is this going to be an add-on for N2? If not, then somebody please fill me in. I'm thinking it will be, as its MSRP is listed at $24.99 (and current sale price at $19.99 -- too bad it hasn't actually shipped yet). That seems to be about on par with what the BGN pack was. -- http://www2.cruzio.com/~keeper/toons.html - Animaniacs, P&TB, F!, etc. files http://www.armory.com/~keeper/midi.html - My own MIDI files - Updated 3 Oct.

This is kinda sneaky, and I wonder if Sierra knows this is going on? -Larry > i was just there today they did remove the cupons from the box but replaced > them with rebate vouchers located on their rebate voucher board inside the > store > hope this helps > MJR

Am I missing something? Why do we need this, when N99 has the trucks and all the tracks already? -Larry
