BBV: 15% off Accessories... (includes MSpoint card/subscription)

[jegu]

Did a quick search, hope this isn't a repost.

Many of you know about the 50% off new retail games $29.99 promotion going on right now at BBV. They also have a 15% off new accessories, including those 1250 Microsoft Point Cards (great for us Canadians who have to pay a higher price for them >:( )... One year Xbox Live Gold Subscription cards were also available...

Ah, I hope my BBV has some Wii Points Cards, cause I've been meaning to pick some of those up.

[xMrGonex]

nice which BBV in Toronto did you go to, may i ask?

[lewdvig]

I found some PSP deals too - started a thread.

It looks like BBV is re-jigging its assortment of games. Looks like PSP is shrinking and DS/Wii are growing (makes sense). They have a ton of promos.

Jane/Wilson has lots of XBOX cards, but NO Wii cards left

My Blockbuster has Wii Points card, but their regular price is 29.99. With the 15% off that would be 25.49$, which is more than Wal-Mart regular price anyway. Bought Microsoft Points card for 16.99, which is a good deal for this kind of item that is never on sale. They also have HD-DVD Player for 169.99 after the rebate.

Nice one on the MS Point Card! Do all BBVs have gaming accessories and stuff or only the ones that take trade ins?

[coeternity]

I went to the one on Rimrock... Dufferin and just North of Sheppard... Went to check out some of the 50% off games, since it's one of the closer Game Rush Blockbusters... Was surprised to see that Point Cards were considered accessories :D. They had quite a few cards left, they keep them in a locked cabinet... Don't remember seeing any Wii cards, (don't have a Wii, didn't specifically check, so don't know for sure!).

[Elessar_44]

Gonna check BBV on King tomorrow.

[coeternity]

just dropped by the richmond one around 5:30, they have

xbox 360: 12+1 live card, 1250 point card, niko cooler, wireless adapter, quick charge, battery, wireless charge, faceplate, vision camera

ps3: memory card adapter, controller

last i checked, the MS MP points were $25 (yes, $5 higher than other retailer's reg. price @ $20 ea.)

remember that BBV also tends to keep MSRP's up there for quite a while too (even if other retailers have dropped the MSRP), so even after 15% off, it still might not be that hot/warm...

also, FS/BB sometimes have 20% off console accs. during their F&F or PC sales, which includes the MS MP point cards; their reg. price is $20, so that makes it $16

^ah yes... so it looks like there's s/b else to confirm that BBV does indeed have overpriced accs. ....

Oh nono... thats not what I meant. BBV does sell the 1250 point cards for $19.99, I got mine for $19.37 after tax.

Point cards in the US sell for 1600 points per $20USD... where as we only get 1250 points per $20 CAD... Works out so we pay an extra 10 cents per 100 points... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Points

Sorry for the confusion :lol:

[markj]

thanks op grabbed two points cards from bbv on sherbrooke w for ~38...one left on shelf plus a 12 month gold card too...

hm... maybe *i* misunderstood what you said... :o


anyway, i'm +ve that the the last time i saw the MS MP points at BBV, they were $25. (vs. $20 at FS/BB/RCSS/WM/etc.)
my point being that BBV's reg. prices for console accs. and/or games are usually higher than other retailers like FS/BB

so unless the discount is big (like 25% off or more) at BBV, it might still be cheaper elsewhere on sale...

Anyone seen the HD drive for the 360 in the GTA?
Figure Ill trade in some DVDs if I can get the drive for 15% off.

I saw the HD drive for sale @ the Sheppard and Dufferin for $199... don't see why they wouldn't give you 15% off on it, but you should probably call to check so you don't waste a trip...

[Eluder]

You definitely do get 15% off the HD-DVD drive at Blockbuster. I was at my local store this past weekend and they mentioned even that has the discount.

Instead of saying "my local store" why don't you tell me where it is? LOL

Thanks for the info.

[Elessar_44]

These work out to be a better value than the 2800 points cards, so definately hot deal.

[ceraf]

^ anything good at the BBV on King?

[Ethic]

I bought the HD-DVD drive for the 360 at my local (Winnipeg) BBV for 15% off

[smithfan]

I picked one up in Toronto ( Royal York & Dundas) last night after trading in a bunch of old dvds and a few games.
Glad I didn't pay (well not cash anyway) for it.

I believe there was one, maybe two, left as of yesterday morning at King BBV.
