Briefly dropped in to JB on my lunch break and spotted this.
They were on the same table as the 2 for $40 titles (they were both on that list previously):

Cannot see the 2 for $20 deal on their website though.
Only had a quick flick through and couldn't see any others.
Didn't look at the PS3 table, but I assume it is the same deal.
Edit: Potentially Rockingham in WA only due to error with stickers?
If only I didn't already own Mass Effect 2…
Can anyone else confirm other jb got it.
Did you see a stack to the ceiling of Infamous 2s going at a silly price?
How much was/is it??
do want
edit: hey Kirt, which JB ?
do they trade in for more then 10$ at EB when traded in with EB membership?
Hmmmm… I didn't think they even did 2 for $20 games.
The website only mentions 2 for $40 (which shows BF:BC2 as one of the applicable titles).

I would be curious to hear if someone else can confirm this otherwise great deal.
They don't always advertise specials online or in their catologues. For instance, when the 2 for $40 special was introduced back in September(?), they simultaneously had a buy 2 get a third free special going on for the exact same games which hadn't been advertised at all. Unfortunately you couldn't combine the two specials together to get 3 games for $40 though.
damn, i would've loved these for the 3-4-1 trade at jb.
i guess now that's gone they can sell these cheap games without worrying about people trading them back
Which JB did you get it from?
Good deal, maybe someone put the 2 for 20 blu ray stickers on these as i can't find any info on this deal.
JB no longer do 3-4-1 deal.
What like never again?
I was thinking the same thing
On second inspection, you may be right. The stickers look like the ones that belong on the cheap Blu Rays.
Seems to be a mistake, don't get too excited. Should've been 2 for $40.
If it was a mistake you think the jb till person wouldnt put it through or at least mention it was mispriced.
They wouldn't admit a mistake. They would go pull them after you left without telling.
Xbox 2 for 40 pile also includes Mass Effect 1, Blur, Metro. That's from memory.
checked sydney CBD
none
Damn work getting in the way of OzB!
To answer astroberryz and MrPants, it was from JB in Rockingham, WA.
CaptainAwesomeee may be onto something there regarding the 2 for 20 blu ray stickers…would make sense that someone stickered up a whole lot of Mass Effect and Bad Company games in one shot and then stuck them on the same table as the 2 for $40 games?
Hopefully not a one off mistake, but it is almost too good to be true…have edited post ; )
Now I'm curious..
What would have happened if you had taken those up and bought them?
Personally I don't beleive I would have any problems in buying them both for $20…they are clearly marked, and there was about 6 or 7 of each game with the same sticker on them, so it would be a fairly easily won battle.
I considered buying them just to have a play through of ME2 (I already own BC2), then trading them at EB / GAME, but they are only giving $6 per game!
Will leave them in the hope another Ozbargainer can score a deal : )
dude I see you on OZB every time im on here making a comment etc… Ozbargain should employ you- how do you get your work done Kirt ?
LOL!
My boss only cares that my work is done on time and that it is quality, and if getting quality work done on time means me jumping on OzB "now and again", then he is happy : )
Maybe it's not a mistake, it is the classic covers
Sorry to doubt your deal mate, it is heading towards xmas time and lots of newbies have started and you may have gotten lucky and scored a great deal here. In the end they have to honour it right?
Legally they Dont have to honour it, but normally they will.
It's all good bud…most likely you are spot on about the 2 for $20 blu ray thing, although hopefully someone can grab a cheapie from this post ; )
Also. I'm sure this also applied to JB Hi Fi across Melbourne. Been to a few and saw them on sale
Ozbargainer from Rockingham? Small-ish world :P
i may or may not know someone who works there, i can see if they know anything about this.
Awesome, been waiting for those to drop further
