The Bigs & Nights for Wii $9.99 @ EB

[dealsmonkey]

Todays EB deal is on The Bigs & Nights for Wii for $9.99.

Also seems TC2 is now back up to $35-$40.

[movieking]

I am blanking on this.

TC2=?

Liked the Bigs demo on the 360, so I might pick it up on the Wii if I could get it used for $5.

[dbdudley]

Do you know if Stranglehold 360 is included, as others have said?

I am blanking on this.

TC2=?


Trauma Centre

[Azer]

Anyone confirm if there are others besides these 2 for $10?

[jonkaho]

Nights for 9.89 is a pretty good price.

[cuongp]

whats the tiv for TC2 now?

When I went yesterday to get RE: Umbrella Chronicles and GH3, I asked the sales clerk about this whole sale and she said new stuff is being added on a daily basis (I think we all know that). She mentioned that the sale will go on probably until June 20 too.

The clerk at my store told me the sale is on until June 22nd.

[tuanvily]

RE The Umbrella Chronicles still on $9.89. I got the second last copy at Shopper's World Danforth/Victoria.

Guy there said new items added daily and ending June 21.
The sales is a yearly event or something.

EB had the same sale last year but in May. Definately crazier daily door crashers this time around!

[Lost Monkey]

Thanks OP - this sale is KILLING me. (I mean my wife is gonna kill me...) :)

[dealsmonkey]

As of yesterday, it was $17....today.....not too sure?

Yeah, they told me that on a daily basis some of the old ones go back up, new ones go down, lots of flux.

[cuongp]

are there no EB Games insiders that go on RFD?

[movieking]

I totally forgot about Trauma Centre when I was at EBGames yesterday. Crap. I wanted to pick it up, but I got sidelined by other stuff there.

[_pOtEnZa_]

even managers only know the specials when they get there :P

[Light-tower]

Thanks:)

[loopholez]

Some do, some don't - because the price down came from the computer system. This is generated through the head quarter computer system back to the store. Though I do know a few people who knew about the RE: UC Price down ahead of time.

[BananaWeed]

Is Nights any good?

So far, I've picked up TC:NB and RE:UC from EB's sale. They went to the trouble/cost of having this promotion, so I'd rather give them my business than go to FS/BB. Also, I'd rather avoid the hassle of PMing. :)

[sunchaser53]

Are those two games used version at $4.99? :cheesygri

Thanks,

[mgronqui]

TCNB is only 12 TIV at BBV. Looks like EBGs wins!

I normally check for game reviews and ratings at www.metacritic.com

Go to the games section and look up the games under Wii. I know that Bigs scored 66. I tend to stay away from games that score under 75.

Here's the review: http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/bigs

[sleep]

TIV for both games are only $9... :|

[palmrule]

I spotted XBox 360 NHL 2K8 new dropped to $9.99 last night so it may be part of today's sales...

[billymadison]

Does EB Typically have a "deal of the day" type thing? If so, where can you find out what the deal is?

P.S. Has anyone else noticed how snotty/rude the customer service is for EB Games at Eaton Centre? I mean my god, the employees act so arrogant there.

[TheGamer2400]

I noticed that too, but it's kind of pointless to get as they are making next year's game...build from the ground up too (they are scrapping the current engine)!!! I'm expecting good things for 2K Sports hockey as I'm tired of playing EA style hockey.

[mahjongmaniac]

whats the tiv for TC2 now?

was $21 last wk...

but doesn't really matter now since sale is over.

--------


The sales is a yearly event or something.

they had the same GOTD/W cycles last yr, but the diff. is that the GOTDs last longer (f/ 1 extra day to a few days, or even a wk-long) ... not to mention the sales are much better this yr

[mahjongmaniac]

even managers only know the specials when they get there :P

doubt it.

emails/memos about new sales/promos are sent to them in advance...

last yr, for their GOTD/W cycles, that was the same case.

[jonkaho]

picked a brand new copy of Nights!

thanks OP!

[geech]

Picked up Nights and The Bigs (last copy) at Fairview Mall in St. Kitts. Soul Calibur Legends back up to $16, from $9.89 yesterday

[RedFlagRobot]

Got Nights - I'll never have time to play all these games! Nights and Bigs have white stickers on them as opposed to the red ones for TC. Does this mean it's the permanent price for those games now?

My Nights and Bigs had the red ones...probably just a fluke

[dealsmonkey]

was $21 last wk...

I posted earlier saying it was $17 yesterday afternoon. He may just have a copy he wasn't able to flip yet.

doubt it.

I think they knew about it in advance, but not the specifics. The daily deals come with their morning printouts daily, so they don't know specifics about which deals are coming up; I saw one of their dailys yesterday myself.

i think all stores are supposed to use the red stickers to indicate the sale, ... perhaps those stores that ran out of red tags they had to switch to using white...

spking of recv'ing memos/news about these new deals/promos, do they rec'v them by fax?

it can't be email cuz there have been times which i've asked them to check online for things and they said their compy's don't have internet access....

[Eyedol]

Just came back from eb games. I picked up Smackdown 08 collectors edition for ps3 for 9.89 and stranglehold ps3 for 9.89. They also had spiderman3 bluray movie for 9.89.

Nope, no free internet access. What happens is that when the CSR/manager boots up in the am, it'll connect via dial-up modem to head office and download the new prices, memos, etc.

Or it's from the dial-up connection from the night before, can't remember specifically. At least that's how it USED to work (used to work there).

[Golf_CL]

My buddy who works for EB Games told me that they get the list teh day before. They are not allowed to disclose what the next day's door crashers will be.

[Rx-87]

danng I wanted Smackdown 2008 for PS3.. but can't find it

[dealsmonkey]

My buddy who works for EB Games told me that they get the list teh day before. They are not allowed to disclose what the next day's door crashers will be.
Hmm, maybe they changed it....we used to get all memos, list of price changes, promotions, etc with the morning report. The only thing that the computers would dial out for at night was to upload sales data.

[sjwong]

Thanks for the deal. Picked both games plus Smackdown 2008 Collectors Edition.

[mahjongmaniac]

i knew there were other ex-employees here... just forgot your nicks. i only recall ieatkittens (and i remember cuz of the harsh name :D )

haven't seen ieatkittens post on here for a while now tho...

i dunno about now, but before when they had GOTD/W, i've often asked and some of the nicer CSRs would check in their binder for me...

if they're really not allowed to disclose the info, well in the past how would it be possible for some RFDers to post threads in advance and indicate what the upcoming GOTD/W deals are? ;)

[mong]

whats the tiv for TC2 now?

Trauma Center: New Blood is 13$ as of today. I went to get a refund on one copy since my friend didn't want it in the end. Since they told me the tiv was 13$ for that game, I thought it was better to just trade it in.

edit: oh and I saw Metroid Prime for the gamecube at 9.99$ used and Odama at 14.99$ used at the EB in Les Cathedrales Downtown... No idea if it's a good deal or not but thought it'll be nice to share it anyway. Too many EB threads, haha.

Odama is 9.89 brand new right now.

Yep, I used to work at the EB at Square One in Mississauga, then briefly at the Devonshire Mall one in Windsor.

Metroid Prime's been $9.99 forever.

Stranglehold 360 was part of the last run of EB deals.

I was in EB yesterday to pickup a few things.

There was definitely an EB memo just behind the counter from head office or whatever. I know it was email because it was displaying the header and you could see all of that data. So there is definitely internet access at this store :)

Let's be honest, a company that doesn't do business using email as a tool isn't a competitor.

Pretty sure they still don't actually. Refer to my previous post, they use a dialup connection to receive memos and whatnoght from head office with everything else, that may be what you saw. For cryin' out loud, I believe they still use a dialup connection for their debit transactions. Unless a current employee steps forward and says otherwise, I really doubt they've overhauled the entire company since I last worked there.

There are plenty of businesses that don't have internet in that conventional sense, and believe me, if EB gave all locations free surfing capabilites, their productivity would plummet through the floorboards....

I saw odama new for 9.89, but you are correct about the used one being 14.99
they probably just did not re-tag them with the updated prices.

odama is also going for 9.99 new at zellers and toysrus, been that price for the last 2 months:lol:

It was email shot out of a laser printer. I even was able to scan the IP number it broadcast from along with the data on it, because it was that close to the service area. It was definitely email brother, it had the store name as an addressee, subject line yadda yadda...

Oh well I wasn't really looking to argue this it's silly I just thought I'd share what I saw.

Blockbuster has Odama in the clearence bin for 4.99.

doesn't have to be an employee... i'm sure those of us who have bought stuff there paying w/ a DC or have seen other pay w/ DC for transactions, have noticed that there's the "dial-up" modem "noise" in the works... :)

at least their compy's are better... Win '98 ...? or some other still-yet-to-be-outdated Win OS.
unlike their competitor BBV,... they're still on DOS , F-T-L... :lol:

forget about if they had 'net access. even if they didn't, i'm sure some RFDers on here can vouch that they've seen them "slacking" at times... :P

lol, I know that first-hand, we had a really slow day and made a game to see who could drop the game through the slit in an inventory box from the highest height, it went on for hours, and actually involve a few customers. Granted, this was on a VERY slow day when it was almost hurricane-like outside so there was REALLY nothing to do....:lol:
