Best Buy's latest promotional trickery in trying to get Halo fanboys to pre-order Halo 3 at their stores involves a gift card and free shipping. Their latest Halo 3 pre-order promotion offers up a free $10 Best Buy gift card and free shipping (on online orders) for customers who pre-order the game AND purchase an accessory priced at $29.99 or more. So, you'd more than likely need to be in the market for an extra controller for this deal to make any sense, because going out of your way to buy an accessory simply for a $10 gift card doesn't make much sense. And honestly, we still think Circuit City's 4' tall Master Chief wall graphic is the best pre-order offering out there, but if a $10 gift card attracts you then by all means go get 'em tiger!

This is a good deal if you're willing to wait for it to ship to you. I'd rather get it fresh off the truck at the store.

If the "accessory" includes MS Points, it might be worth the cost to buy them on the cheap.

Does any body know if you could get the VGA cable for the 360 as the accessory instead of a controller?

There is a better deal at Micro Center. I know that they are a smaller chain, but you get a $10 gift certificate when you pre-order any version of Halo 3. No accessory required, the pre-order price is $5, and best of all you can pick up your copy at midnight and use the gift card toward the rest of the price of your game.
For those that care, the gift card is a "limited edition" Halo 3 card with an image of Master Chief from the FMV commercial aired last year.

Target just started a deal preorder (limited or standard they don't sell legendary) and get a 10$ gift card and you can use it to purchase the rest when you pick it up.
My brother just did it and the card is sweat looking.
BTW this is a big step because Target doesn't ever let you preorder anything

Best buy is also giving you a XBL Microsoft card for 4.99 when you preorder. Think its the 1600 pt. card. Pretty nice deal.
