Today, starting 8AM, Wal-Mart is having a Playstation 3 promo whereas you will get 15 Blue Ray Movies with your purchase. Ten Movies you will get instantly, and 5 more movies in the mail.
You wondering, what is so special about that? The 80 GB Playstation 3 is $499, and each Blue Ray movie can be up to $30. What you want to do is get the 10 Blue Ray movies at $30 each such as Spiderman 3, Ghost Rider, Night of the Museum, etc. E.G. receipt
10 Movies x $30 = $300
Since it’s the holidays, many places such as Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc will give store credit even without a receipt. You can only take 3 movies at a time to return without a receipt, hence take 3 trips and return the movies for store credit.
So after all the work, you can get an 80GB PS 3 for $499 with $300 Wal-Mart in gift cards. Don’t forget the 5 extra movies in the mail.
You can argue that this is hurting the store since they have to restock etc, or you can argue…well since I’m getting store credit, I’m giving them business back anyways since I have to use the Wal-Mart gift cards. Everybody situation is different..do what you gotta do.
Of course, you can always Ebay the PS 3, but expect a $50 loss. Some even think they can return the PS 3 to Wal-Mart for regular price and keep the free movies, but I find this highly unlikely and extremely dirty.
I think I would feel dirty returning the movies, though I know everyone is different. I wouldn’t feel dirty selling the movies and ps3 on ebay though. Thats just buying low and selling high, basic principle to making money!
