[bullet]

[theboschman]

is this pricing for xbox 360 strangehold as well!!!???

I just picked up Blacksite Area 51 and Stranglehold for PS3. I went to find stranglehold for the XBOX (for my brother) and it was still regular price.

You can also add:
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (Wii) - $9.89
Manhunt (Wii) - $9.89

[numb555]

crap, awesome deal... I love this game, played and finished on the 360.

Think i'll go pick this up for the ps3 if its still available.

[kzboi]

for the people that wanna know.. i called blockbuster and the TIV'S are

NCAA 08 = $18
Stranglehold = $12

[bombdiggity]

picked up one from EB today but passed on Blacksite. there was a racing game too that I intended to come home and look up reviews for b4 deciding if I wanted it, but I forgot what it was and don't recognize it from the ones I see come up on searches for the PS3.

if anybody knows what it is, would be grateful if you could let me know. it's $9.89 too.

[mxz600]

nba 08 is 10$ too

[7Stryder7]

just picked up guitar hero 3: legends or rock for xbox360 (9.89) at eaton's and perfect dark zero limited edition (14.99)

Juiced 2 perhaps? It was on sale previously, but not at the $9.89 level.

[doingdeal]

stuntman ignition ps3 i think is 9.99

[bombdiggity]

Juiced 2 perhaps? It was on sale previously, but not at the $9.89 level.

just called them...could be stuntman ignition but I could swear it was something else

[NonStopInTheMix]

hmm are any of these games TIV @ eb for $8+? i want to get a new ds =(

[bombdiggity]

nba 08 is 10$ too

too bad it couldn't be 2K8! for $10 I might bite but the location I went to had it listed for $15.

[Emancipated]

Is this subsidized by SONY or am I a little late on the "Sony needs to sell more PS3" jokes ?

[Deals Deals Deals]

I'm hoping Dynasty Warriors 6 will be one of these $9.89 deals, but chances are small.

[TruE SkiLLS]

YEAH!!!!!!! Finally, I can pick it up for 10$

[Deals Deals Deals]

YEAH!!!!!!! Finally, I can pick it up for 10$

Looking at their Game Days flyer, it seems to me quite a few of the titles were from the inside left panel (all marked Used).

So far, we've had:

The Darkness
Guitar Hero 3
Motorstorm
Metroid Prime 3

What's left:
Red Steel
Starfox Command
Madden 08
Halo 3
NFS Underground 2 (Already marked $6.99)
GTA VC (Already marked $4.99)
Metriod Prime Hunters.

Halo 3 would be nice.

[viper81156]

sweet. I just got myself a copy of Stranglehold.

For anyone who wants to know. The EB games in Burlington (appleby/dundas) has about 3 left. However there not sealed, just display cases but the disc is in "like new" condition.

I was waiting for this game to go down in price. Thanks OP

[JnJosh]

nba 08 is 10$ too

the life, nba live 08 or 2k8

i wish that would happen too......

[BlazinTrini]

hopefully more 360 games go on sale . I got Hellgate CE for PC for 9.89 the other day

[ItemFinder]

When did Metroid Prime 3 go on sale?

[jopojo]

Another user just said that today's game for the Wii and $9.89 is Nights: Journey of Dreams.

Gonna try and pick it up tomorrow!

[JnJosh]

almost a week ago now? and halo 3 has already been liquidated at 9.89/4.99

[Formula1]

:?: Where? At EBG?

[greywolf501]

Only the Collector's Edition of Halo 3 was put on sale at $9.89/$4.99 and that was back in April

Right. I forgot about that. I was thinking he meant more recently in the last couple of weeks.

[cechlin]

i need more 360 games,

i started out with gta4 at the beginning of these sales.

i now have 11 games.

i loves cheap games,

buy 2 get 1 free at bbv is also a bonus.


edit--

thanks a lot to the o.p also this thread needed to be made.

[greenbelt0102]

I got Battle for the pacific (xbox 360) for $9.89 brand new...very poor review...oh well

[mahjongmaniac]

Juiced 2 perhaps? It was on sale previously, but not at the $9.89 level.

Juiced 2 HIN is $10 for PS2 (advertised)

PS3 version is $20 new, $15 PPed... well these were the prices last wk.

[jonkaho]

I got Battle for the pacific (xbox 360) for $9.89 brand new...very poor review...oh well

picked it up too, just to add to my collection of games. :cheesygri

[mahjongmaniac]

When did Metroid Prime 3 go on sale?

last wk... but it only lasted 1-2 days (max. 2), then went up in price.

it was embedded in one of those other EBG threads. you'd have to be checking RFD everyday (or at least reading those respective threads to find out)


Lone_Prodigy, ^that's a reason why i suggest a new thread for ea. new GOTD/W deal...

:?: Where? At EBG?

checkout: http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=581587

incorrect thread title that OP never bothered to correct tho.

it's not the LE, but the CE... used for $5, new for $10

[Miike]

They had WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2007 for $5 brand new but unsealed at one of the EBGames I went to.

[appleb]

just called them...could be stuntman ignition but I could swear it was something else

I'm guessing it's Stuntman Ignition because I saw that game at $9.89 as well and I was considering it.

[dn604]

I picked up Stuntman: Ignition for XBox 360 for $9.99 about 10 days ago. Should still be that price.

[XxXSnake23XxX]

motorstorm is dead

[Grimcurse]

OMG I'm so tired of running back and forth to all the EBs in town for these doorcrashers deals EVERYDAY! And the sale will continue until june 22. I'll have to file for chapter 11 for sure.

That would be great if we could keep all the deals in this thread because there is more than 5 going on at the same time and new ones are added everyday.

Are you sure about Battlestation Midway 360? That's the first time I've heard it's 9.89$ and I didn't see it when I was there.

oops! I almost forgot to gloat...:lol:

Today I got Nights Wii, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles Wii and Guitar Hero III 360 all for 10$ new! Thanks EB!! (and RFD)

[IBOPM]

Is this going to be the official thread for these $10 deals?

We have way too many threads around for EB deals already.

I don't see Soul Calibur Legends for Wii on the list, it is $9.89 as well and it has a $17 TIV at EB (Yes, they screwed up again). I hope this wouldn't kill the deal for those who really want to pick this game up but this has been posted in another thread already.

It'd be nice if Dynasty Warrior 6 does go on sale at $9.89 :lol:

It's not hard to keep up with one thread if the OP keeps editing the first post. Some of these are time-limited deals.

someone says RE:UC are 10, someone else says its price are back up!! which one is trueee?

Why is everyone hoping this game goes on sale? The reviews are horrible.

http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/942654.asp?q=dynasty%20warriors%206

Sometimes I think EB is having this crazy sale just for RFDers. Who else is aware of these deals besides us and employees?!

[chopchop330]

It's not hard to keep up with one thread if the OP keeps editing the first post. Some of these are time-limited deals.

Or perhaps the founder of the GOTD should write in bigger fonts or bold it so it is easier to find.

So is it for certain that EB will be putting up a new game everyday for $9.89?

[Grimcurse]

So is it for certain that EB will be putting up a new game everyday for $9.89?

That's what they've been doing for the last 2 weeks (since may 23rd) and it's more like 2 or 3 everyday.

good point, but like you say, OP has to constantly update the OP... i find that it's sometimes a prblm...
you know... the RFDers that post a deal and we don't here back f/ them, ever again :lol: (regardless of how many times RFDers ask the OP to update the title/post/etc. :twisted: )

It was $49.99 when I phoned on the 5th, asked them to scan it, and that is what they said it rang in as, same as the sticker.

the Dynasty Warriors series of games don't necessarily get good reviews but imo its still very fun to play and I haven't been playing all the games in the series...

BTW, picked up Stranglehold and Smackdown vs Raw 2008 CE, going to have to return the copy of Stranglehold I got for $19.99 a couple days ago because the guy said they can't do price adjustments for games that were bought on sale...

[Chavez]

this may not be the only Canadian deals site on the net, but theres no doubt its the best. Sure the other guys might get 1 or 2 deals posted before us, but almost everything ends up here in a very quick time.

then again, i only visit 2 other(deal) sites maybe once a day if rfd doesnt keep me typing away :)

[Makaveli the Don]

Is Bully worth the $24.99 it's on for?

[cechlin]

Is Bully worth the $24.99 it's on for?

it would be warm at $9.99

thank again i didn't really like the type of game. (never actually played but read/watched reviews)+im only 16 i can still be a bully at school, why play a game about it:twisted:

:lol:

[scotty01]

Went in to pick up Motorstorm for PS3 today but the deal is done on that game and it's back up to regular price. However, I did pick up WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 brand new and sealed for $9.89 [Marked down from regular price of $49.99]. The lady in the store said that these prices will only last a couple of days on select titles and then return to their original marked prices at which time a few more games will be reduced. Looks like I will be making several trips to EB Games over the next coupld of weeks.

What other titles are recommended to pick up for the PS3 at this special pricing?

Stuntman Ignition was fun for me. Well worth $10. Stranglehold for PS3 is $10, but I don't have a PS3 and the 360 one is apparently not on sale.

+1 for Stuntman. Paid $5 used, and I don't think I've ever gotten better video game bang for my buck.

Still playing it. Hard to string scenes, but I'm doing alright getting 3 or 4 stars.

It's a fun and surprisingly tough game. I only played it for a couple hours, admittedly, but it was great when I was. That's not saying I won't go back either.

[SigBro]

Doesn't sound like any new games were dropped to $10 today. Just called one of my local EB Games and they said they didn't put out any new $10 games today.

Agreed, though I would say it's warmish/hot if it's $24.99 for the 360 version. Wonder if they ever fully fixed the freezing issue.

Battle for the Pacific(360) was $10

i would pick up Bully (Wii) if it's 9.89 for sure. It's a pretty decent title. $24.99 is a bit much though

[doingdeal]

Doesn't sound like any new games were dropped to $10 today. Just called one of my local EB Games and they said they didn't put out any new $10 games today.

I may have to go for another walk to eb since its just around the corner. Everygame that was for 10 wasn't marked by my local eb store I had to find out from RFD or asking them to manually scan the games for me lol.

[TheGamer2400]

BTW, picked up Stranglehold and Smackdown vs Raw 2008 CE, going to have to return the copy of Stranglehold I got for $19.99 a couple days ago because the guy said they can't do price adjustments for games that were bought on sale...

Can you return games at EB? I thought you can only do an exchange, but no refunds.

I tried getting a price adjustment for WWE SvR 2008 CE yesterday, but got denied :( Oh well.

[jonkaho]

the EB employee told me if it is unopened you can return it within 30 days.

[buyways]

nothing new for today, but in stock are:
Eaton Centre: Nights and UC
Gerrard Square: Manhunt2 & UC

for UC fans, dell.ca still has Nyko perfect shot light gun on for $10.99 with free shipping; I believe EB has it for $14.99/BB has for 19.99 (I've succesfully PM'd twice at BB, never tried EB)

http://accessories.dell.com/sna/products/Wii/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&l=en&cs=cadhs1&sku=A1622736

[doingdeal]

if they did not price adjust why not just buy the one on sale and return it again but use your old receipt if its still under the 30 day return policy?? or if you really want to get them back I would buy a new copy return the new one with your old receipt and with the new receipt pm futureshop for another copy and go back to eb and trade in your open game.

[Psygineer]

info by phone.

So UC is still on sale? The EB here is saying it isn't, that will make PMing hard. (It isn't worth $10 to me, since I am told it is only about 4 hours long and I have never played any of the RE series, more or less was going to get it for something else to do with the Zapper)

it actually says 14 days on the receipt so just to be safe, things should be returned within 14 days

That's a good idea, but in my case I used my trade-in credit to get the game on May 25, yet those CE copies on sale now have a red sticker on them and have been opened.

So, if I return that copy with my old receipt, they'll probably know I'm pulling something especially when I bought it brand new.

[Psygineer]

according to Eaton Centre and Gerrard Square by phone, yes, in stock, $10.

Just called both locations here, and both are saying it is $49.99, they must be just reading the sticker, and not bothering to scan it like I requested. That pretty much blocks PMing for me. That is annoying, oh well.

[XxXSnake23XxX]

Motorstorm for PS3 Used is still $9.99, only the new one is back to regular price.

the eb's i went to motor storm used back up to 34.99 (correct me if im wrong on price)

[NightRain]

Agreed, though I would say it's warmish/hot if it's $24.99 for the 360 version. Wonder if they ever fully fixed the freezing issue.

Yeah, they released a patch about a week after the release. I haven't had a lockup since the patch.

[alwaysbuylow]

the eb's i went to motor storm used back up to 34.99 (correct me if im wrong on price)

I just saw it this morning at Orleans mall in Ottawa, the used Motor Storm PS3 was still yellow tagged $9.99.

[greywolf501]

I just saw it this morning at Orleans mall in Ottawa, the used Motor Storm PS3 was still yellow tagged $9.99.

That just means that they didn't update the price sticker, the price did go back up.

[alwaysbuylow]

That just means that they didn't update the price sticker, the price did go back up.

I see, it could be that.

I also saw brand new Spider Man 3 Blu-ray for $9.89, the cover said two disks, but I bought the used one couple days ago, it only had one disk. Are there different editions of them?

[Chew300ZX]

That just means that they didn't update the price sticker, the price did go back up.

No. Yellow = Preplayed. In EB-speak: Yellow = Savings :lol:

[chdude3]

No. Yellow = Preplayed. In EB-speak: Yellow = Savings :lol:Yeah, that was awesome last night. Some guy was picking up a new game, and of course the cashier had to say "We've got that preplayed for $54.99 if you want to save some money."

And the guy was like "That's stupid. For $5 at that price, I'll take the new copy. Try dropping your used prices."

Couldn't help but smile.

[buyways]

huh. when I called each EB I asked what $10 games they had in stock for the Wii today... I'd expect that trying to PM at BB would have been a pain anyway, even if you could count on EB confirming it to BB on the phone. That big a PM, IME, is something BB usually resists on one ground or another (e.g. you have to show a flyer, it's below our cost, that's a limited-quantity clearance price, we're weasly b**ches, etc)

[the_fm]

he could have save more with the edge card :razz:

So, if I return that copy with my old receipt, they'll probably know I'm pulling something especially when I bought it brand new.

the ones that have red sticker on them are new copies if they have yellow they are used. the ones on the rack is just what they use to scan and they bring out a new game for you. After you purchase it just take off the sticker and use your old receipt for a return and they will credit your old purchase back to your gift card. fyi just don't do it the same time wait for a shift change or do it the next day.

[jonkaho]

I see, it could be that.

I also saw brand new Spider Man 3 Blu-ray for $9.89, the cover said two disks, but I bought the used one couple days ago, it only had one disk. Are there different editions of them?

my copy has only 1 disc and it is the one that came with the 40GB PS3. maybe the retail copy has an extra disc.

this may not be the only Canadian deals site on the net, but theres no doubt its the best. Sure the other guys might get 1 or 2 deals posted before us, but almost everything ends up here in a very quick time.

agree on that part. IMO it's also one of the most successful CDN deals site...
however, success sometimes comes w/ a price.... and the "price" is the general degradation of ethics...
way too many scammers on here that have joined the past couple yrs....

and also the fact that the "sharing" concept literally no longer exists....

[jonkaho]

the eb's i went to motor storm used back up to 34.99 (correct me if im wrong on price)

i phoned and the guy told me it is 39.99 now.

[Golf_CL]

Just got back from my local EB Games during my coffee break. Nothing new on sale today. Too bad.

hope there will be something new tommorow!

[mahjongmaniac]

No. Yellow = Preplayed. In EB-speak: Yellow = Savings :lol:

:lol: true dat

----

Yeah, that was awesome last night. Some guy was picking up a new game, and of course the cashier had to say "We've got that preplayed for $54.99 if you want to save some money."

And the guy was like "That's stupid. For $5 at that price, I'll take the new copy. Try dropping your used prices."

Couldn't help but smile.

the CSR must've been speechless after the fact :lol:

--------

the ones that have red sticker on them are new copies if they have yellow they are used.

during the sale, i've seen PO'd copies that had red stickers... it's messed up.


the ones on the rack is just what they use to scan and they bring out a new game for you.

not if the remaining copies are all gutted.... they just bring out the disc f/ their drawers and there's your "new" copy....

[alwaysbuylow]

my copy has only 1 disc and it is the one that came with the 40GB PS3. maybe the retail copy has an extra disc.

You are right, the retail copy of Spider Man 3 Blu-ray has two disks, and the one bundled with 40GB PS3 only has one disk. The used one I bought from EB must be the bundled one, well, it was only $2.70, the cheapest Blu-ray I have bought so far.

This is the review of the retail Spider Man 3 Blu-ray, it describes what are in Disk 1 and Disk 2.

http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/spiderman3.html

[TheHeeyyy]

Yeah I went to my local EB Games and the guy said there wasn't anything new on sale today. He also told me there wouldn't be any more games added on sale until at-least Tuesday (head office is closed on weekends, and games for sale are picked the day before at head office so no games will be added on Monday). Hopefully there will be a nice fresh list of games on sale Tuesday.

[farx8]

I just picked up call to juarez for the 360 used copy for $1, I believe a new copy should be for $2, I dont know how long this game has been this price for but first time I'm seeing it for this cheap..

[cechlin]

just letting people know, in case it hasn't been mentioned,

if the sticker hasn't been changed and it is lower than what it scans for, make sure you pay the sticker price :)

[Ch28]

just letting people know, in case it hasn't been mentioned,

What if the person scanning the item continues to say you must pay the scanned price?

[ChaoZ]

What if the person scanning the item continues to say you must pay the scanned price?

It's actually the law that you pay the sticker.

[appleb]

Stuntman Ignition for PS3 is now back to regular price of $19.99. It was $9.86 yesterday.

I was going to buy it today until I found out the price went back up. :(

[cechlin]

What if the person scanning the item continues to say you must pay the scanned price?

It's actually the law that you pay the sticker.

That is correct.

[JWL]

It's actually the law that you pay the sticker.

There is a voluntary Scanner Price Accuracy Voluntary Code which also says "The Code does not apply in provinces or territories where existing legislation or regulation covers these concerns."

http://www.retailcouncil.org/advocacy/cp/issues/scanner_acc/scanner_accuracy02_eng.asp

1. THE ITEM FREE SCANNER POLICY
Retailers will implement an Item Free Scanner Policy as follows:
1.1 On a claim being presented by the customer, where the scanned price of a product at checkout is higher than the price displayed in the store or than advertised by the store, the lower price will be honoured; and

(a) if the correct price of the product is $10 or less, the retailer will give the product to the customer free of charge; or
(b) if the correct price of the product is higher than $10, the retailer will give the customer a discount of $10 off the corrected price.

EB is not a voluntary participant in this.

Is the law you are referring to an Ontario law?

[winson82]

I'm not law expert so I'm not sure if this applies to Canada or not. But I know in some places the advertised sticker price is only an invite to buy. The retailer does not have to sell it to you if they don't want to for any reason other then sex, race, and disability.

Like I said not sure if this applies to Canada.

[Chavez]

Just stopped by at EB and picked up Moto GP 07 (360) for $9.89 so you can add that to the list.

[ChaoZ]

Happened to me about a month ago when I bought Stuntman Ignition. The sticker said $4.98 but the game rang up $24.98. The girl ringing it up was uncertain of what to do, and her associate told her that said she had to give me the sticker price, and immediately did an override.

Don't know how voluntary that is.

Don't know how voluntary that is.They're voluntarily making a customer happy. They're not gonna keep customers if they pull crap like charging a higher than marked price.

Could be. I didn't argue.
Is there a list of which companies subscribe to the Scanner Price Accuracy Voluntary Code?

[gabers]

Apparently Used "Call of Juarez" for 360 is 99 cents

Yes... 99 cents.

Never played the game, and I gather "you get what you pay for" - but hey, it's 99 CENTS

Heh

[StoneColdWhat]

Was stranglehold the regular or CE edition ?

[Supra_KL]

Was stranglehold the regular or CE edition ?

regular. used copies are back to normal price though...

[trackercowe]

Just picked up Stranglehold, Smackdown vs Raw 2008 CE, Blacksite Area 51, and NCAA 08 all for $9.88. These are for the PS3, but they had cheap 360 games as well. It was at the City Centre EB Games, for any Edmontonions looking. Don't go to the Southgate location, nothing but over priced garbage there.

They didn't have Guitar Hero III though, but I was happy to get anything. I also tried to PM a couple of those games at Best Buy, but they had some notification telling their people to not allow EB games sale games to be price matched anymore. What a load of bs really, as why even have a policy like that when you are only going to match small discounts? I really should call the head office and complain, but not sure it would do any good.

Btw, I picked up an EB Games Edge Card as well. Can someone please tell me what discounts I get on it? Thanks

[mahjongmaniac]

I just picked up call to juarez for the 360 used copy for $1, I believe a new copy should be for $2, I dont know how long this game has been this price for but first time I'm seeing it for this cheap..

receipt scan or it didn't happen.

original XBOX old crap sports titles for $1-2, maybe... but hard to beleive for a 360 game that's not really that old...

wow that is the cheapest i have seen a 360 game! :-0

[mahjongmaniac]

EB is not a voluntary participant in this.

Is the law you are referring to an Ontario law?

AFAIK, EBG isn't participating, but since the SCOP is "the law" in QC, it would be more applicable there.


however, having said that, the few times i've encounter price discrepancies, the clerks have ALWAYS price overrided to the lower price, no q?'s asked.

------

Could be. I didn't argue.
Is there a list of which companies subscribe to the Scanner Price Accuracy Voluntary Code?

there is a list i believe (RFD threads maybe), but i can't recall specifics

Zellers i know for sure doesn't participate.

there are many who do: WM/RCSS/FS/BB/Loblaws .... (stooples?)

[bug]

No more used GH3 left at the Brossard Quartier Dix30 store. I picked up a few 360 games:

- 1x Guitar Hero 3 used -$4.99
- 1x Guitar Hero 3 new - $9.89
- 1x Fantastic Four:Rise of the Silver Surfer - $9.89

Also signed up for an Edge card for only $5.00

I bought call of juarez for $5 used a month ago at eb. After playing it remeber thinking that I was ripped off and this crap game was really only worth $1. I guess EB thought the same

[sheainsider]

Anyhow, there were five other guys in the Eatons Store w/me this morning (which I was conveniently passing by on my way to work), and I askedwhere they heard of these deals. Some said RFD, some said cheapassgamer or something... but apparently this is getting bigger and bigger as days pass!

Anyone have any idea how long they'll keep doing this? *touch wood*

It isn't THAT bad. Decent single player and the multiplayer was a good waste of an afternoon. Getting kills in Concentration mode is mighty satisfying. You could do far worse with $5 (or $1 now..)

As far as westerns go we don't have much choice, so I'll take what I can in that regard.

I can vouch for him. I too got it for $0.99 used yesterday morning at EBG. I wasn't really interested in the game but for $0.99 you can't really go wrong.

I picked up a poker game NEW for the xbox for 1 penny. If it sucks, who cares. The empty case is worth more than that.

For xbox or 360? And which poker game?

[uklamen]

I got Stuntman Ignition for PS3 for $9.98 on Tuesday I believe and on Thursday I got NHL 2K8 for 360 for $9.98. That was at Ottawa Billings Bridge. They didn't have any new PS3 titles for 9.98 yesterday when I checked.. and still haven't found Blacksite for cheap, was hoping to get a copy of that :(

[Stock R]

I have an extra copy of Trauma Center and Soul Caliber since my brother bought a copy of each as well. If anyone is interested in them, PM me. I only want what I paid. Both are still sealed.

First dib to Ottawa locals. Next is Toronto for meeting up next week. Otherwise I'll mail it across Canada if you pay shipping.

[stutterboi]

i have 2 copies of GH3 that I picked up if anyone wants them. Prefer to meet up close by (Fairview Mall)

they're NIW but are the Not for Resale ones.
If not, I'll just return them.

[dbdudley]

[jonkaho]

Super Swing Golf wasnt too bad, if its #2, id pick that one up for $10. Can anyone confirm if it is #2 or just the original?

[jonkaho]

Super Swing Golf wasnt too bad, if its #2, id pick that one up for $10. Can anyone confirm if it is #2 or just the original?

[shezbot]

I can confirm the following:
Super Swing 2 - Wii - $10 new / $5 used
Geometry Wars - Wii - $10 new (didnt see a used one)
Manhunt 2 - Wii - Still $10 new (didn't see a used one)

[Spiderpal93]

[Lone_Prodigy]

Super Swing Golf is Albatross 18 on the PC. The latter game is free and you can play online. No motion controls though.

it's funny how the savings part actually say "97c savings" ... usually it's more, and that would indicate that the new copy is indeed $2

Blizzard Battle Chests are in the flyer. WarCraft III and Diablo II were $30 each. WoW is $35 until June 22nd.

I was at eb games St-Hubert Today and it was the original and season 2, both for 9,89$ each.

There was also a baseball game for the wii for 9,89, but can't remember the name.

[cuto]

Ottawa update: i went to eb games at both billings bridge and at the ottawa trainyards and not much was left at $9.99. :( hopefully something good will come along on Monday ;)

[Apal]

anybody seen NHL 2K8 at the Shoppers World Brampton location?

[Ch28]

NBA 08 for PS3 is dead

[palmrule]

Thanks for the update, guys. Picked up used copy of Wii Golf Season 2, Geometry Wars for $4.89 each. Price tags haven't been updated as EB staff are too busy to handle weekend traffics. (That works better for us who know about the deal!) but they will scan correctly. What a great way to add to my Wii game library.

[NonStopInTheMix]

went to vaughan mills EB Games today.
couldnt find a copy of wii golf or geometry wars used on sale.

Grabbed Geometry Wars, Manhunt, and Soul Calibur for $10 each brand new.

I saw the regular 39.99 sticker on Trauma Centre and Resident Evil and i ripped it off to reveal the 9.99 underneath but sadly the deal's over for both of those games, though i tried to argue.

[Golf_CL]

Thanks OP. I picked up the second to last copy of Geo Wars for my Wii at $9.99. As of 12 noon, they had one copy left at Coquitlam Centre - GVR.

Just FYI, I spoke to the EB clerk and she told me that they do not expect any new $10 titles until Tuesday. Their head office is closed Sunday.

[viet_jon]

dammit...I keep missing these deals... just went out to one in and they're closed.


would love to pick up nba2k8 / ps3

or any wii games

[TruE SkiLLS]

lmk if you have stranglehold for sale... I went to 2 and they both got sold out =(

[zoro69]

Ah I believed the guy that said there would be nothing on Saturday and didn't go int here today. would have loved to got those two :cry:

[uklamen]

wait, NBA 2K8 for the PS3 was on for 10? I got Sony's NBA 08 for 10, and NCAA March Madness 2008 for 10.. never saw 2k8 though :(

[Golf_CL]

I'll have to stop by my other local EB Games to find NBA 2K8. Damn it. My location was shopped out.

[JnJosh]

lolwut? He missed the deal so he shouldn't get the price for it. It's as simple as that. Him ripping off the sticker and arguing about the price doesn't change the fact that he missed the deal. It's GOTD for a reason.

hey,
I picked up a new sealed smackdown collectors edition 2008 for ps3 @ eb... and I dont need it.

congrats on throwing $62 away on a useless piece of junk... you'd have been better off not even wasting your time and where did you get 11 copies of GH3? Howhard did you have to convince the EB worker to sell them because they aren't supposed to let you get more than 1 copy. Seriously though.. Thank you for screwing over all other consumers in your area. You are a true definition of a consumerist *****

[mahjongmaniac]

went to vaughan mills EB Games today.
couldnt find a copy of wii golf or geometry wars used on sale.

Grabbed Geometry Wars, Manhunt, and Soul Calibur for $10 each brand new.

I saw the regular 39.99 sticker on Trauma Centre and Resident Evil and i ripped it off to reveal the 9.99 underneath but sadly the deal's over for both of those games, though i tried to argue.

wow... you must be one of those ppl that like to go to WM and "affix" lower sticker prices f/ one product to another.


there sure are a lotta scammers here these days...

:lol: Now I know he's full of crap

BTW i traded 11 copies of GH3 at 4.99 for 30 each and bought a WII for the equivalent of $62 bux with the tax,,,at around 8 different blockbusters,,,4 copies had the not for resale sticker and i had to ********/charm the clerk into letting me get away with it

Congrats, you are an official RFD douche. Collect your prize by going to 10 different BBV's to find it piece by piece, O mighty Zen Master.

considering he went to multiple BBVs, i'm guessing he went to multiple EBGs too and each store was selling >1 copy to him.

[jonkaho]

Thanks for the update, guys. Picked up used copy of Wii Golf Season 2, Geometry Wars for $4.89 each. Price tags haven't been updated as EB staff are too busy to handle weekend traffics. (That works better for us who know about the deal!) but they will scan correctly. What a great way to add to my Wii game library.

i hope my EB has the golf game in stock, loved the first one!

[greenbelt0102]

I was able to score Super Swing Golf Season 2 and Geometry Wars Galaxies for 9.89 ea yesterday :) . Although both discs do not appear to be brand new :mad:

Oddly enough - I recall (from the 70's) that there was an Ontario law that
stated that the customer was to pay the lowest stickered price on an item. This meant that putting a higher price tag on top of a lower one was a big no-no. Maybe this has been repealed or just forgotten? I tried a Google search but came up empty...

[broc]

right on bro,,,i wish they would have given it to you,,,like EB is gonna go bankrupt over $30,,,the founder of EB right now is probably flying his private jet counting his $$$$$ while people are trying to make him more money,,,the world loves those type of people,,,depends on them.

Exactly. So if someone robs you of your wallet- say you have 50 dollars at the time? No big deal- it's not like you're gonna go bankrupt over 50 bucks. dumbass.

i remember in the news that ppl at walmart caught a guy switching price tags, and he got arrested. Dunno if ppl here still remember that incident

[Psygineer]

I hope they put Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors on as part of this deal. I've been waiting for that one to drop for a while.

hey only got caught because the tv scanned in as like a pack of gum or something. Guy must have been pretty dumb to think walmart wouldn't check. the self scan registers.

Thanks, but RCSS doesn't even sell it here anymore, I was waiting for them to drop it from $50 (so I could use my superbucks to buy it), and it just vanished.

[4got10]

This has been a great promotion..

So far I have gotten...

TimeShift 360 $4.49
SvsR 2008 PS3 $9.98
Hellgate Collectors PC $9.98
Nights Wii $4.49
Manhunt 2 Wii $4.49
GH 3 - 360 $4.49

Total spent so far less then 40 bucks, pretty sweet if you ask me.

Missed out on VF5 and Jaurez and decided against Motorstorm after playing the demo, since it was a bundled title I bet it will be 5 bucks used down the road again sometime.

Can't wait to see what we get next week.

[dbdudley]

I wished I hasn't missed VF5 as well...

[booyahchild01]

Is GH3 still going for $9.98?

[KFLO]

I went and I didnt see anything unmentioned.

[greywolf501]

Yep, and the stores around here still have used copies for $4.99, they restocked a couple times.

[mclarenf1]

just wondering but is what the american site has on sale entirely different from what the canadian stores have on sale. also would what the american site is promoting show a preview to whats on sale next week for canada?

i ask this cuz they'll have virtua tennis 3 on sale for the ps3 for $20, but i don't think the same applies in the canadian stores.

they also have timeshift, condemned 2, virtua fighter 5(?), def jam, all for $20, so if anyone knows and can tell me that would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

To each their own I guess. VF5 lasted 5 minutes before I traded it in for what I paid. Motorstorm, on the other hand, is one of the most amazing games yet for the PS3. Kicking myself for missing it at $10 (to give to others who don't yet have it)

[eiyu]

That one is $20 at RCSS.
Last time I saw it, it was $40.

[mahjongmaniac]

if that was the case , i'd still be able to get quite a few games for $10 up to this date, even for the ones that went up in price.

i'm sure i'm not the only one, but the couple stores i've been to have just been placing new updated price stickers onto the old ones and you can still visibly see the last price underneath it ($9.89) , including dates.
no, the CSRs are too lazy to actually completely remove and replace the price tags :P

[JnJosh]

if that was the case , i'd still be able to get quite a few games for $10 up to this date, even for the ones that went up in price.

yes you'd still be able to get games cheaper if that law was ever or if it still was going on. good observation, i would have won the lottery last week too if only i knew the numbers.

[ferretgr]

Just to add to the proceedings: I'm actually about 6 hours from the nearest EB Games, so I asked my MIL to go check it out. She asked te counter staff about the GH3 price, and they (at least feigned) ignorance. All of the copies of GH3 had been removed from the shelf, however. One employee seemed to know what was going on and retrieved her a copy from behind the counter or the back room, and it did indeed scan for 9.89 :)

I don't know why EB Games would be trying to keep this on the downlow; I don't know what the advantage of doing so is. I guess it's something to bear in mind, at any rate.

[wilkz07]

yesterday ebgames had stranglehold ps3 back up to 29.

going this afternoon to pickup Hellgate. Didn't see it was 9.89


When I was in eb on sunday the manager said their next price change is Tuesday.. hopefully Assassin's creed is lowered.

I think some of them, at least, legitimately don't know since I'd say more than half of the times I've gone in there, and the person at the counter has been shocked that the prices I'm telling them are accurate.

It's happened with GH3, Geometry Wars, Trauma Centre...

The American site is completely unrelated to the Canadian one -- to our benefit. Our "Game Days" prices have been much nicer than the American ones, leading to much jealousy on deal sites with both American and Canadian posters.

Are those new or used guitars from BBV?

[Captain Snazzypants]

I discovered that a lot of the $9.99 titles were moved to the back of the store, but the deals were still on. Others were behind the counter. Just ask the clerk nicely if they still have any of the $10 deals going for <insert console here>.

Most of them are very chatty and helpful - I picked up 3 more titles just by asking last Friday...

So new.

They certainly don't deal with used hardware - the reason I was given for not taking the GH3 bundle version was that it was part of a hardware bundle and they don't deal with any used hardware.

[Haz]

So new.I've purchased used consoles from them before. I helped a buddy pick up a used Dreamcast once and it didn't have a modem! It had the same mold as the model but no actual modem attached! Must have been rental specifc.

[mxz600]

just stopped by an EB store, old bat working there first said "what are you talking about at all?" then proceeded to ask if I had ever been in an EB store before because she wanted me to sift through the bins in front to see what was there.... I kept my cool.

So after all her blabbering on, she said, "but i'll check the computer here to see for you anyway" and she discovered that for the PS3, the only one currently on for 9.89 was NCAA08. all other games were gone back up in price. So It looked good on her as this game was not in the front in teh bins for that price, but it was not sealed, it was a "NEW" opened box. I hate when they do that. And when they reseal the games themselves, it looks like such a bad job. Pretty obvious.

So a big YMMV to everyone.

[TedEdFred]

I went down yesterday and didn't see anything special but was able to pick up NHL2K8 for $9.98. It wasn't stickered properly but I had them ring it up and they were surprised to see the price. The copies behind the glass showed $9.98 I told them that I was tipped off about the lower price. Hopefully something good comes out this week that I don't already have.

[Golf_CL]

Just got back from EB Games in Coquitlam Centre and there is nothing new today. Looks like the place got cleaned out this weekend. LOL

[cuto]

mmm maybe you guys know about this already. i was told by the ottawa train yards location that the game prices fluctuate day to day. is that the same for other locations?

[Golf_CL]

Yes... there are some games which will remain on sale for a week and others which will are 1 day only sales.

I will post up tomorrow's deals as soon as I can in the morning (PST). Hopefully someone back East will beat me to it. It's nice being on the westcoast with a 3 hour time difference.

Just picked up a few copies of Geometry Wars: Galaxies! Good thing too or I would've ended up buying for $30 bucks somewhere else.

frankly, i've never seen used consoles there.

these must be one of the few that were rental consoles.... cuz AFAIK, they don't take hardware for trades like EBG does.

spking of rental consoles, can't be a good thing in terms of hygiene and/or physical condition of it... imagine kids that have abused it to hell.

yes, as we've talked about before in this thread, these are their "gutted copies"... the last of the remains of "new" copies that were once display copies.

AFAIK, they either reseal it via shrinkwrap, or just use those transparent circle stickers... but either way, no of course it doesn't look like MFR-seal new

f/ the "connection" i've got at EBG, they don't do price changes on Sun. and Mon. (HO is closed on Sun.)

I bought GH3 for xbox 360 for 9.89$ but end i did not like it so i went to BBV to sell it for some credit guest what...

the manager said we no longer take GH3 coz many person sold back multiple copie of it at once.

here some exemple he told me
- 11 GH3 he got 330$ credit
- 14 GH3 he 420$ credit

after office found it out they made a check up and found out that EBgame were selling it for 9.89$ so they no longer take it sadly.... wonder who was stu**** enough to bring 11 or 14 copie at once... even worst what clerck was dumd enough to take it all....

[mc_guru]

when you trade at BBV they make you sign something to the effect that you aren't like a professional game reseller or whatever you want to call it. isnt trading in 14 copies of one game a blatant violation of their policy...

That's just pure selfishness.

I chose not to do this deal this time. Sometimes you just don't have the time to do it. Or maybe I just don't feel like dealing with Block Buster clerks who are surprised that they rent, sell and even trade for video games.

I can't believe someone would do this. I mean these deals could go on for years if we all just traded a couple and went on our way. There is no way any head office will let this go on. :mad:

For any old school GameCubers left out there (or Wii-heads looking to expand their back catalogs), EB has just lowered their price on used copies of Mario Party 5 from $39.99 to $14.98. It's the among the highest rated of the MarioParty series on IGN.com (http://cube.ign.com/articles/458/458633p1.html) and it's good fun for 1-4 people.

[BlazinTrini]

I might have to check out blockbuster video then tomorrow...I heard pgr4 is pretty good

[zoro69]

Why is PGR 4 7.99, and the 20-30 copies of PGR 3 9.99?

I nearly fell off my chair.

[snika]

i picked up VF 5 for PS3 for 15$ today. Was hoping to find Area 51 for 10$ but no luck. Someone mentioned Mario Party 5 is 15$ as well. Any other Mario Parties??

[sheainsider]

VF5 is $20 at FS new.
no real deal there...

[jopojo]

Picked up Geometry Wars, Nights: Journey of Dreams, and The Bigs today, all @ $9.89! No Super Swing Golf 2 though, so I might as well just play the free online version of this exact game, Albatross 18, and save my money for more GOTD titles.

Not sure if the prices will change soon on those titles. Nights and The Bigs will probably change tomorrow since they have been $9.89 for the longest out of all the GOTD's. If anyone goes out to EB tomorrow, post the GOTD please! Thanks!

only the wii version is on sale right now.

[Captain Snazzypants]

really bad game, The Biggs. Traded it in the day I bought it. Once you've played MLB 08, there's no going back...

Bigs gets very boring fast without a career/season mode.

[Trigger]

Hey guys,

The friendly folks at EB Games let me look through the list of upcoming sale games through June 20th or so. Sorry to say, but nothing special.

I was hoping that there'd be at least some decent 08 Sports games for $10, but nothing.

Some of the previous games promoted look like they'll be rehashed (ie Stuntman), but generally nothing new.

Not too bad for $5. Definitely a two player game though - single player is pretty dull.

lol exaclty, seems like his look at that list is false, if he cant name any titles, and accoring to eb games staff they dont know either and head office doesnt even know what will be till the 20th as they send them email every night to tell only the next days game. hope there are some good 9.89 titles to come with about a week and a half to go.

that is a lie, i can confirm the managers know of atleast what will be on sale the following day.

the manager at eastgate said that she knew re4 would be on sale and the next day it was. could have been luck i guess:confused: :lol:

[bmnb4tches]

When was RE4 on sale? I guess I may have missed some of the better deals... such as MP3 :(

yeah, thats what i said:

"accoring to eb games staff they dont know either and head office doesnt even know what will be till the 20th as they send them email every night to tell only the next days game."

they dont know either meaning he said the game list unti lthe end of sale which they dont, and then i said "send them email every night to tell only the next days game." so they know the next days game as they get email from head office and thats about it.

It wasn't RE4, it was Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles for Wii.

Anybody know what 360 games if any went on sale for $9.89?

Anybody know what 360 games if any went on sale for $9.89?

Previously? Or today?

We won't probably know until someone calls between 9:30 and 10...

[Da Mango]

Unreal Tournament 3 for the PS3 is on sale today. So is Boogie for the PS2. High School Musical (software only) for the Wii is also on sale. That's all i could remember the guy telling me. A few 360 games i think too. One of the Tony Hawk games and Dead or Alive 2 I believe... Not the beach volleyball one though, sorry guys hehe..

[Trigger]

I saw a list for all sale games.. and nothing caught my interest. Rather than bash my post and say I'm lying (not sure what my incentive to lie would be here), how about you just use (or don't use my post) as informative as you want.

The main point of my post was that I saw nothing substantial there, so for those of yourselves (who like me) occasionally take some time off work to go to EB mid-day, I was just letting you know that it's probably not worth it.

Rather than bash me, why don't you befriend people who work at EB Games and help out the community yourselves?

The games I recall are ones that previously were on sale that don't interest me. There are new ones in addition to the previous sales, but they're mostly garbage type game.

* Stuntman PS3/360
* Prey 360

The list was about 5 pages long, and included mostly games that were on sale for $19.99-$39.99. I just went through the $9.89 ones and didn't see anything special.

On a side note, there was a flyer that the guy showed me that said "Free Xbox Live 12 month membership with purchase of Madden 09". I'm not going to substantiate it with its own thread yet, since the flyer also said "Save $20", which doesn't make sense considered the game and the Live membership each are at least $50.

I can confirm this, sort of.

I was talking to a guy there the other day and he told me that if you pre-order NHL 09 by the end of June (27?) and pay in full, you get $20 off an Xbox Live one-year membership. That would explain the $20 off part... and maybe it applies to Madden 09 too...

[tonyford]

it's UT3 for PC, NOT PS3

As well, spongebob for the wii is 9.89 new

[tonyford]

as well, it's Tony Hawk project 8 i think, but he said it was for xbox only, not 360

[dbdudley]

If that's actually all there is for today, that's pretty terrible. :(

BBV beat them to the Spongebob game. Been $9.99 there for 2 days now (but with EB you save 10 cents :|). Not that I would buy a Spongebob Squarepants game though.

[i-o_o-i]

UT3 for PC would make much more sense, would be sad if PS3 one is $9.89 because I already have that game :o
BTW, there are no other PS3 games on sale today?

i'm getting the sponge bob game for the little fella, my bbv was all sold out

nothing that i can remember, so i don't think there was. Normally i'll buy whatever game is on sale (not getting High school musical though) and i know there was nothing of interest for the ps3.

I called and was told that Splinter Cell: Double Agent for the PS3 was on sale for 9.89.

[mahjongmaniac]

here some exemple he told me
- 11 GH3 he got 330$ credit
- 14 GH3 he 420$ credit

and to think 11 was already really bad... 14 is just extreme...

--------

when you trade at BBV they make you sign something to the effect that you aren't like a professional game reseller or whatever you want to call it. isnt trading in 14 copies of one game a blatant violation of their policy...

it's been a long time since i've seen the trade agreement, but i don't recall that it has anything to do w/ ^that

what's more impt is that by signing, you agree that the games you trade to them aren't stolen

[SMH]

don't games normally come out on tuesdays?

Some people were saying that it may be because of a possible PS3 update that could come out the same day to add trophys??
But who knows

i picked up VF 5 for PS3 for 15$ today. Was hoping to find Area 51 for 10$ but no luck. Someone mentioned Mario Party 5 is 15$ as well. Any other Mario Parties??

BSA 51 was still $10 PPed a couple days ago (but price for new copy went back up)

That's what I saw on the list. Is Prey really $9.89 still? They're selling it use for over $20.

[Trigger]

I can confirm this, sort of.

Which sounds about right. The clerk did try to repeat that it was get Live free when you get Madden tho. But the flyer clearly said "Save $20"

[mahjongmaniac]

as well, it's Tony Hawk project 8 i think, but he said it was for xbox only, not 360

last i checked, THP8 (XBOX) has been $10 at BBV, clearance price.

now that they're getting rid of their XBOX game inventory, it could be as low as $5

High school musical 2 (wii) - 9.89 new /4.99 used

[Jouvert]

Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 is a horrible game... don't waste your time...

I have to agree. I bought this on sale from FS in February for $15 and I still felt cheated. Even at $10 it's not worth it. At $5 used, maybe. Make that a big maybe.

[SwiZz]

I can confirm that UT3 for the PC is $9.89 not the PS3. I picked up a copy. Can't go wrong for $10 even if the community is small. Lots available. I didn't see anything else that was $9.89. Went to 2 EBG's. Was also lucky enough to find GH3 for $4.99.

[Vanilla88]

There are still copies of Guitar Hero 3 at some EB games, just wanted to mention that. Cloverdale had 2 copies (1 new, 1 used) and Sherway had 3 used copies. The new copies were $9.99 and used was $4.98.

whenever in doubt, you can always phone them to verify platform...

yes i'm sure a lot of you like to be spoon-fed deals, but sometimes you have to put some effort into it yourself if you really want a deal :)

that's kinda weird, since if they're selling PV'ed for only $3, the TIV can't be worth too much... and IMO, of course not worth trading in ....

well for the sake of updating this thread, i dunt really think any single eb employee would like me calling in and asking what platform each deal is for. And no i dunt want to spread this out by calling several eb games. What im saying is for courtsey sakes, plz just take the extra second to simply put some sort of tag beside it (e.g. ps3, 360) Im sure if i had updated this thread with "Ut3 for 9.89", we'd prob had 15 extra posts about whether it is for ps3, which is what we are seeing here

[roadtoy]

All for the Wii

From EB Games
Picked up Sponge Bob Atlantis,
Geomatric Wars,
High School Musical (No Mic) for 9.89 each.

From BBV
Picked up Sponge Bob Creature from the Krusty Crab for 9.99
Sims 2, Pets for Sims for 14.99

Anyone know if the Logitec Mic for the PS2 work with the Wii ?? I presume they will because they're both USB mics. Curious if anyone had tried. I don't want to open the game yet because they're for the kids when school finishes.

dude seriously,,do you know how many deals i have missed(honestly) and was able to get in on because the guy working was cool,,or i charmed someone,,or the girl working thought i was cute and let me get away with it,,part of RFDealing is being an actor,,seriously any hardcore rfd's out there know what i'm talking about,,,thats part of the fun of the game for me,,,BTW i traded 11 copies of GH3 at 4.99 for 30 each and bought a WII for the equivalent of $62 bux with the tax,,,at around 8 different blockbusters,,,4 copies had the not for resale sticker and i had to ********/charm the clerk into letting me get away with it,,,that is the truly is what it means in the art of the deal,,not that i needed to have a WII(i have a ps3 and 360) it was just there and i enjoyed the challenge of it,,,dude it's zen pilosophy in motion,,and blockbuster is still open today right?,,,i didn't bankrupt them did i?

Was that the collectors edition or was the collectors edition also available for that price?

Oh shoot, totally forgot about the collectors edition...so yeah, this was only the standard copy; thus, I haven't a clue about the price for the collectors edition. BTW, what was in the collectors edition?

I pondered buying DoA Xtreme 2 and I just couldn't bring myself to do it. There's no other game out there that makes you look more like a perv. :cheesygri

But how many other beach volleyball games are out there? :confused:

[Jeff18]

wow found a copy of Call of Juarez for $0.99, who could resist that? no manual though, but looked new.

Anyone know if the Logitec Mic for the PS2 work with the Wii ?? I presume they will because they're both USB mics. Curious if anyone had tried. I don't want to open the game yet because they're for the kids when school finishes.

if there logitech for ps2 they work great for wii

[Moebiwankenobi]

Last Gen:
DOAX 1, Beach Spikers

That's all I can think of. DOAX 1 was actually pretty fun for a while and Beach Spikers had some pretty good mechanics for a GC game.

the only new game for 9.89 today is Battle for the pacific (history channel game) for 360.

a few 5 dollar pc games, and a few ps3 and 360 games had like 20 dollar drops.

NBA chosen one is now 39.99 and Blazing angels for the ps3 is 19.99.

Remember any of the titles? Over the phone EB is less than helpful. "Come in and check it is easier that way"... It isn't easier that way when you are a good 30 min drive away with gas prices well over the $1.30 mark (136.6 I think it was yesterday).

[TheGamer2400]

Looks like EB is cutting down on the amount of decent/good games for sale.

Kind of like what I said in an earlier post a couple of days ago :). Except when I said it.. I got called out for lying because I couldn't recall any of these no-name titles.

Hopefully next week will be better... I'm hoping for Lost Planet and Patapon for $10.

[duggie]

I picked up Odin Sphere (PS2) for $20 today, "new" but opened.

[cuto]

hm, how many of you RFDers are hitting up the billings bridge EB location in Ottawa? everytime i go there, there is pretty much NOTHING for ps3. lol. either most of you are getting there before I am or billings bridge carries NOTHING. haha. i'm gonna have to learn to live with disappointment with dealsmonkey :(

sorry never got any titles

[Jeff18]

went to EB today and seems like people are trading in lots of copies of Assassins creed from Roger's 2/40......maybe in the near future it will be selling for cheaper lol.....couldnt get anything at rogers, someone got to it first and cleared it out..

[mxz600]

OMG Lost Planet would be awsome, I clean up on the Online Demo for the PS3. Not so much with COD4, the people on that cannot have lives outside the game.

[TheHeeyyy]

Nothing great today. It's starting to look like EBGames went big on sales at the beginning to entice people to go to their stores, and now each day they're luring people back who are hoping for more great deals, but are mostly met with bland offerings. They might go big on sales again at the end of the sale, but I think this sale has peaked in quality.

[XxXSnake23XxX]

yeah nothing today!

if you're paying $1.30/L +/-, that's not really that bad... MTL has sky-rocketed to $1.50/L

by this summer, supposedly everyone's gonna be paying at least $1.50/L

--------

well for the sake of updating this thread, i dunt really think any single eb employee would like me calling in and asking what platform each deal is for.

depends on the employee. just ask nicely

And no i dunt want to spread this out by calling several eb games. What im saying is for courtsey sakes, plz just take the extra second to simply put some sort of tag beside it (e.g. ps3, 360) Im sure if i had updated this thread with "Ut3 for 9.89", we'd prob had 15 extra posts about whether it is for ps3, which is what we are seeing here

^true.

perhaps OP could also update every (few) days of any new game(s) on sale... that'd be more convenient for the rest of us, so we only have to check the OP

[wordtwonumbers]

My friend who works at EB tells me that the sale was meant to clear out some excess stock in response to some locations closing down. You shouldn't be expecting popular games to go on sale.

if you checkout their instore flyer (avail. online), it's one of their games advertised as $20.

(there's another thread regarding that sale)

i wish double agent was for 9.89 on 360

[Late Night Merchant]

FYI everyone, UT3 PC is only the used one, as I tried to price match at FS, but they said it was only for the used one, so they couldn't do it.

MJM, would you mind please consolidating your frigging posts, especially your useless ones? I'm about at the point where it's time to ignore you so I can get a better SNR inside a thread.

Anyone know if i can play this game without a graphics card?..cos my laptop didn't come with one installed

Depends on how old the laptop is, and partly whether it's an Intel, or ATI/Nvidia graphics chipset.

It's down at the moment, but this site may help. I'm not sure how well it'll detect laptop graphics, though.

Another day, another search for great gaming deals. Anyone know what's on sale today?

[katamaris4ever]

The American site is completely unrelated to the Canadian one -- to our benefit. Our "Game Days" prices have been much nicer than the American ones, leading to much jealousy on deal sites with both American and Canadian posters.

All in all, it depends. I picked up a copy of Sega Superstars tennis for 18 bucks at an American Gamestop (w/ a coupon), since it retails at 50 bucks everywhere else. But I agree, the Canadian sales are a great way to feed your gaming habit.

[Shaundoe]

So do we know if they've added anything for today? I keep missing out on the good ones :(

[dbdudley]

What's the low-down for today, folks?

EDIT: I decided to just call them. The one I called, he said there was nothing new. But he didn't sound really confident about it... he said something like "nothing that I know of..."

[CHINAdeals]

if they had guitar hero: aerosmith on sale. that woudl be tha shiz

[kevinnashho]

i called 2 stores and both said nothing is new for the wii for the 9.89. And Manuhunt 2 is not at 9.89 anymore.

[dbdudley]

Looks like this deal might be cooling off...

[ferozkq1]

called today, and the prices were for old games.

tenchu
ninety nine
I quote "project something I can't read it at the moment"
and another old game.

I only call for the 360.

[impulsebuy]

just got back
N3(360) - $9.89/$4.99
Boogie w/mic (wii) - 9.99
Project Sylpheed(sp?) (360) - 9.89

[danku]

I just came back from EB games to pick up MGS4, but on the counter where they usually display the Game of the Day deals, I saw Project Sylpheed and NHL 2K7 for 360 in Markville Mall in Markham. There were also 2 other Wii games that I forgot what they were. I'm presuming they're $10 they were displayed as Game of the Day deals. If they're not, then I apologize.

[ferozkq1]

updated list.

ninety nine nights
vampire rain
fusion frenzy 2
project sylpheed
tenchu z

[jopojo]

Can someone confirm the Wii games? Looking to snag a couple again today!

Boogie w/ mic could be worth it, for the mic that is!

Ah true, it could come in handy for future games (GH/RB).

[ChaoZ]

I've been waiting for N3 to hit the $10 mark. Shallow game, but once in a while, you just have the craving to slash through thousands of opponents.

[katamaris4ever]

Ah true, it could come in handy for future games (GH/RB).

Prolly not. Considering the heated "Why won't my GH controller work with RB?" question, I doubt that it would work on Rock Band. It'll probably work with other singing games, however.

On a side note, are there still some older Wii games on sale? I'm thinking of picking up Soul Calibur Legends if it's sill 9.89.

EDIT: 35 guests?!? That's a lot of traffic.

While a bit mundane, it's a cool party game. I have it on PS2, and I just use it for the karaoke mode (you can imagine how boring it is without mothion controls.)

[Mark83]

There was a "Gold Edition" released sometime after, so that may be the one for $20 while the original release is actually $5.

Curses! I've been looking for that since I missed it at $10. I've got the PS3 one but want the 360 one for the extra characters.

You're thinking of the Gold Edition. It's the original MUA that usually goes on sale for $10 new. Although you can download the 8 extra characters for the original edition from XBOX Live for 800 MS points.

[timple]

Damn seems like I missed the boat on these deals. Are the prices only for a limited time?

I'm looking to get TC: New Blood if it's still $10.

Sorry to say, it went back up to $39.99 if I'm not mistaken. Went to EB a couple of days ago and asked.

But I ended up buying it new at BBV for $19.99. Still a good deal if you ask me!!!

It might work because EA makes both games (Boogie & Rock Band that is)

[Haz]

Prolly not. Considering the heated "Why won't my GH controller work with RB?" question, I doubt that it would work on Rock Band. It'll probably work with other singing games, however.The microphone is a Logitech USB microphone and will work with Rock Band, Karaoke Revolution and probably your PC. I bought Boogie PS2 for $20 a while back and traded the game in to BBV for $12. Works fine with Rock Band 360 and Karaoke Revolution PS2.

as i recall, their sales usually start on Fri/Sat.

Just going by the $9.98 sales. I talked to the sales guy a few weeks ago on Saturday, he told me to call on Tuesday, thats when they drop the prices down to $10 and raise the previous ones on for $10 back up. Every tues here they have different games down to $10 for the ps3 anyways

[Moebiwankenobi]

There was about 5-6 on the shelf, all with $4.99 Used stickers on them. I'll go by tonight after work and double check when I pick up MGS4.

Sorry guys, didn't mean to get you all excited if this was location specific (which I didn't think they do either). :o

[Captain Snazzypants]

Had an interesting chat with one of the EB dudes. He said their corporate office has a "red list" of sorts (not an RFD reference :) with games that are not selling well enough. They drop the price on those games until they move enough of them, then they raise the price back up.

He said that was the case with Motorstorm, and why it went back up without notice one day. And that that is why some games remain longer on life support while others sell well enough to get off that red list within a few days.

Makes perfect sense...

Not true...as I missed Metriod Prime for Wii for $10. Read about it last Thursday night and went Friday and the price was back up.

[impulsebuy]

Well according to the pattern at my eb, most games go on sale on tues and thurs.

[Late Night Merchant]

So, is UT3 still on sale for 10? And is it for new or used?

[chdude3]

So, is UT3 still on sale for 10? And is it for new or used?It was at least still yesterday, new for $10 on PC.

[Psygineer]

I guess the $5 PC games deal must be over too, I went in to see if I could find any (I was passing EB anyway) but there were none on the shelf. CSR checked their computer to see what was in the sub-$5 price range, but nothing came up.

RANT: I'm almost glad there are no good game deals on now (although I still hope Dragon Quest Swords and Super Mario Galaxy go on). Gas just went up to 142.9/L (~$1.43/L)here, it's a 30 min drive to EB (one way). Most of the $10 games will windup being $20 with gas increasing at this rate.

[Pyobum]

I went to pick up my MGS4 pre-order today, so I checked for $9.89 games at the same time. Was able to pick up Geometry Wars and Super Swing Golf: Season 2. Although I was lucky for SSG:S2, it was supposed to be tagged $32.99 since yesterday but the clerk said he just forgot to change the tag. Motorstorm and Trauma Center were back to regular prices.

[nhfewu]

It seems that I come too late.

[jopojo]

I went on a day trip to Buffalo with my parents today.

Man do they get it bad with the GOTD deals there. They had a whole bin of sealed Wii and Xbox 360 games, all stickered on the spine of the DVD cases at $19.99. For the Wii, which was all I bothered to check out, they ahd such craptacular games such as House of the Dead 2+3, Sega Superstars Tennis and Puppy Luv! Eww...

A few cheapy games for 9.99 to 15.99 for the DS, and also another bin of PSP games ranging from $9.99 to $19.99. Some titles that I remember include Impossible Mission, Avatar, Mario and Sonic at the Olyimpic Games, and others that I can't recall.

For once, I felt the Canada finally had it good in terms of consumer purchasing power. This, and when our Canadian dollar skyrocketed over our American counterparts! :cheesygri

well,i dunno exactly when the raise prices, but about their advertised sales (perhaps i was vague about that), they seem to initiate them on Fri./wknds

unadvertised deals like GOTD/W could start any day of the wk.

^ MS was on sale for at least 2 days i believe... i got mine the day after it was posted here.

the other title that lasted for 1-2 days only was MP3:C (Wii)...
it's too bad the sale didn't last v. long and they didn't really have that many copies avail. in the 1st place

[renegadeavenger]

[Moebiwankenobi]

Looks like Marvel is back to $19.99 USED. The same EB that had it tagged at $5 posted the new stickers over them today. So I guess it was a one day thing and I just missed posting for you guys. Sorry >:(

I was told it was regular price when I went to get it today. Then again it is the same location that told me that Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles was back to regular price when it wasn't. Maybe I should stop listening to the staff and just say I will take a copy of [game name] and if it scans in wrong (regular price), just not take it.

[vino_k]

are the TIV of those games on sale decreasing?
because I am planning to trade in for PSP still and I need two more games
so can I pick up some games on sale and trade them in?
well I am aiming for some cheap ones for sure.

For example, it is listed on the first page of this forum that
Trauma Center: New Blood for wii is 9.89
and its TIV value is $17 as the date of May 19.

so will this work? or not?
can anyone answer for me?

[scotty01]

Went in yesterday to EB Games and asked the salesman and no PS3 titles marked down to $9.89 at this time. I did however score the last PS3 80G MGS:4 console which was sold out everywhere else. Also picked up a brand new copy of Spiderman 3 on Blu-ray for $9.89 so that was cool.

[mong]

are the TIV of those games on sale decreasing?

It is decreasing. I traded back in Trauma Center last friday and got a TIV of 13$. However, I think that if the game had a high TIV to begin with, it may still have a TIV of 8$+. Beside, EBGames is known to have fluctuating TIV. So, you should just call or go in-store and ask. What may have a high trade-in value today may not be working tomorrow.

So does anyone know what's on sale today?

They usually don't have any deals on Friday and Monday.

[surfmonster]

Just for those that have a PS3... Ebgames is selling the offical HDMI PS3 cables for 49.99.. it is the cheapest compare to everywhere else which sells it for 69.99+

You can get a HDMI cable for a LOT less than that. I bought 2 HDMI cables at Factory Direct for about $10 ea and they work just fine. With HDMI, the signal is digital, so either the cable works or it doesn't. If a $10 cable works, chances are it works just as well as a $100 cable from what I have read in various reviews on the net.

[hophaiho]

What PC games?

eaton centre says no change for wii today, pc games only.

[katamaris4ever]

Does anyone know what games are still available from last week? Just want to know.

[grantz]

Bit of a cross-post, but RCSS still had some of those $6.94 HDMI 1.3 & Optical cable packages, and Thurs/Fri after 5:00 is tax free! This was in Winnipeg last night...

[TheHeeyyy]

I went to my local EBGames too. Nothing good today, mostly crappy PC games. As for which PC games are on sale, I can't remember the whole list but they sounded pretty crappy to me (some of the games are Deal or No Deal and Meet the Robinsons). The guy also told me the Wii games on sale went back up in price. I'm loosing more faith every day that there's gonna be anymore worthwhile games on sale for the rest of this sale.

[wheezee]

Does anyone know what games are still available from last week? Just want to know.

Off the top of my head, I saw:
- Splinter Cell Double Agent 360 for $9.89
- Boogie Nights Wii for $9.89
- DOA Volleyball 360 for $4.98, I think .... might have been too busy staring at digital pixelation :confused:
- Smackdown vs. Raw 2007 360 for $9.89

Blue Dragon confirmed for $14.99 used.

Oh a few deals that caught my eye was Jeanne D'arc PSP for $19.99 used, Wipeout Pure PSP for $9.89, No More Heroes Wii used for $24.99, and Spiderman Trilogy on Bluray for $19.99

Not sure if those have been mentioned yet in this thread, but if not, hope that helps you all!

Oh and I got the last copy of Spidey Trilogy from Scarborough Town Centre EB .. though given reviews of the movies, your wallet may have just been spared a 20 :lol:

[mahjongmaniac]

I was told it was regular price when I went to get it today. Then again it is the same location that told me that Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles was back to regular price when it wasn't. Maybe I should stop listening to the staff and just say I will take a copy of [game name] and if it scans in wrong (regular price), just not take it.

i don't even ask anymore. if there's not too many games, i just bring up a few for them to scan ... no q?'s asked... :D (if you deal w/ some of the nicer CSRs )

[mahjongmaniac]

Ahhh... but a TRUE RFD'er would have already called the East Coast to get a jump on things..... :cheesygri

if LD charges weren't a factor, i bet there'd be a lot of RFDers doing that... :lol:

that's actually pretty good, considering it's $10 new for the 1st one

The ones on the shelf are never usually retagged here, plus I don't go for the gutted. I ask for a sealed copy, which is behind the counter. Thus I need to ask for it. Then I ask if they can price check it (they go to their terminal hit a few keys, scan it, and say it is original price). I am thinking now perhaps it needs to be rung in as a sale for it to show the correct price, or in the very least have it show up so I can see the price myself (so that they do not just say it is original price and keep it for themselves).

[ultimate_rugal]

Not sure if anybody post this, In the dufferin mall EB:

360 games:
N3 ninety nine nights $4.99
MotoGP 6 $14.99
Few wii games, i didn't bother since i have no wii.
Any 2 used games under $15 for $20.

[geech]

Pen Centre EB in St Catharines had Legend of the Dragon for Wii on for $9.89 today. Didn't see that one posted before, but I could be wrong. Wasn't worth the money for me

i'm not sure if that's always the case, but sometimes it is.

past EBG sale i recall, i got them to check the price for a new game... they said it's reg. price.
i asked them to ring it in as a transaction ... and voila, the sale price came up.

[wheezee]

Spidey Trilogy is "newish". Movies are new; the collector's box that houses the cases, on the other hand, was left out on the wire racks, and that's why it had a few marks and corner scuffs. That may not be the case for all EB's though, especially if they have multiple copies and hold them in the back room.

[boubouq]

Can anyone explain (sorry, I do not go to EB games very often) why when I bought the last 2 copies of Wii Super swing golf 2 one was in wrapper and looks new whilst the other is not and she sealed it and told me it is new! If it is new why is it not in the full wrap? It makes no sense to me...still I am not complaining at $9.89! Just wondering...:)

The open one was the display copy and in fact hasn't been played, hence it's sold as new.

[boubouq]

Thanks. Wonder why they open the display copy? Maybe people want to look at it?

EB Games usually keeps one copy on display and the rest behind the counter. The copy they put on display they open up and stuff its contents into an envelope, otherwise it will get stolen.

If you happen to be purchasing the very last copy, they will give you the display copy that 101 kids have grabbed, scuffed up, and gotten their oily fingerprints all over. They will replace the contents, add a little sticker to reseal the game, and tell you it's just as good as factory sealed.

Whenever I go to EB Games I always ask if they have any sealed copies, as I will never take an opened display copy for full price. However one time they said 'yeah we have a sealed copy' and from behind the glass they pulled out one of their resealed copies... :( So you have to ask explicitly for a "Factory Sealed" copy.

[boubouq]

Thanks. Oh, that's why they take it out. It will probably get stolen! Anyway, like I said, no complaints as it was so cheap and I got one factory sealed copy (one is for a gift) and one for my kids so it's all good (if a little grubby) Thanks :)

spiderman trilogy for $20 is awesome deal. too bad by the time i'm out class it will all be gone.

Did anyone actually get Boogie (with the Mic) for the Wii today for $9.89? I had a frustrating experience where I called the Mississauga Heartland store (mgr there seems kinda stoned)... and he told me that it was on sale for 9.89 and they had lots of stock. When I got there, the girl CSR covering cash rang it up at 39.99. When I told her that it was supposed to be on sale she kinda stuttered over it a bit (maybe she was smokin' up with mgr) and then said no, that was only for the new copy of the game only with no mic. I asked if she had any stock of THOSE and she said no. Then the mgr came out and I reminded him of my call and when the csr told him what the system price came up as, he said it must be for just the game too and confirmed they had no stock. "Ooops.... sorry. Hyuk hyuk." I bought another game and then it occurred to me I've never seen JUST the game sold new so I had them check. After pounding on the keyboard for 5 mins they confirmed that it doesn't exist. At that point I asked which was the one he told me was 9.89 then and through dazed eyes he says "Sorry, musta been thinking of something else. Maybe it was on sale and now it's not." Well now, that's kind of why I CALLED TO CONFIRM BEFORE I DROVE OVER THERE! :mad:

[GreenEggsAndSpam]

I phoned some EB's around my way (St. John's and Mount Pearl) Some stores were sold out and others would not answer thier phones.
But I managed to pick up 2 sealed Spiderman Trilogies for 19.89 each. I bought one for myself and another for a friend. This was at the Kelsey Drive store.
There was 3 there when I went in and while I was purchasing them someone phoned and asked to have the last one put on hold. Luckily the 2 I got were in perfect condition but the last set was one of those opened and displayed versions. So the guy had to peal off the stickers and put the discs back in.

Thanks to the guy who posted this deal. :) Walmart sells the set for 69.83 around here and Futureshop is 77.99. I was even tempted to order from JR.com when the set was 34.99 a few days ago.

[Ottawa DIYer]

The only deals I can find at my EB are on used games ... some are 2 for $20, but they are usually terrible or obsolete games (because I really want a copy of NHL 2K5!). Seems they're just getting rid of the PS2/GameCube used libraries that didn't sell then, and probably won't sell now (the 2 for $20 bins were still packed full when I went there).

[farx8]

Im not sure if anyone has posted this already, but I saw ninety-nine nights for $4.99 used at EB today.

I'd probably buy some old used games, if they were Donkey Konga 2 or some other thing I'd like to buy. There are some Wii titles that I want too. (I believe Elebits is 15 bucks used.)

[mahjongmaniac]

Thanks. Wonder why they open the display copy? Maybe people want to look at it?

^ there's your answer

i think most ppl, if they dunno jack about what the game's about, they'll look at the back of the cover and/or instruction booklet to find out if it appeals to them.

[supergenius]

I can confirm Spidey Trilogy is $19.98 in Calgary. Worth it to get 1 & 2 on BD.

[towhytea]

Just got back from eb the deal is on for spiderman but the worker didn't price it till I got there. So it seems like it not so ymmv as I stated earlier

[SumGuy]

Try checking BBV for Donkey Konga 2. I picked one up a few days ago for $4.99. It was the game only, no bongos included but I already had the bongos from Jungle Beat. Of couse with being an older game, YMMV.

[krazynuck]

i picked up Spider set N3 and Guitar Hero 3 for $33.xx with tax

pretty good deal i think....some guy in the store behind me saw me getting the games and went a picked the same titles up...

[PrimeBane]

I can confirm Spidey Trilogy is $19.98 in Calgary. Worth it to get 1 & 2 on BD.

2 anyways... 1 looked like crap in HD :(

And when you consider how much worse 3 was from 1 and 2, $20 is about what this set should have been at retail to begin with.

You just quoted your answer. The only thing on sale today that isn't in the flyer for the Game Days Sale is Spider-Man Trilogy on Blu-Ray.

[torontoraptor]

Picked up a copy of Spider-man Trilogy Blu-ray at Conestoga Mall in Waterloo. There's still 3 sets left for $19.89 a 6pm. The only thing is they're all opened (makes no sense, considering they had 4 sets displayed on the shelf!). Anyways, they're new though, you can tell by the plastic on the outside of each case. The only thing is the box isn't in the greatest condition and they stuck their big white price tag on it but the individual cases were in perfect condition in mine.

Good deal though since it sells for $60 everywhere else.

[supergenius]

Make sure they didn't forget the extras disk like they did mine. Now I have to go back and get it. I don't know why they have to open more than one copy of each item.

[mahjongmaniac]

I don't know why they have to open more than one copy of each item.

checkout their shelves for new release games... i can bet some hot-buy games have multiple gutted copies on the same row of shelves.

e.g. GTA IV, NGS II


don't ask me why, but that's just the way it is for new releases.

[NonStopInTheMix]

Scanned in at the full price of $39.99 - the EB clerk said that the PS2 version was on sale though.

Yep i confirmed that too today. Only the PS2 version of boogie is 9.98. The Wii version remains at regular price. EB games Yorkdale had 4 boogies still out on display.

I asked the EB guy and he says they get a new list of on sale games everyday so he just told me to call them up from time to time to check the deals. I only look for wii ones and today it was just highschool musical 2, rayman raving rabits, and spongebob.

Any games for wii used that are 9.99-14.99 are 2for $20 promotion YMMV. and based on stock avail at your local store. I picked up naruto and sonic and the clerk just used the boxes i found in the bin

was able to get a copy of the Spiderman Trilogy. I thoroughly enjoyed the 3 movies (yes, even #3). I know it wasn't that great and the casting was bad, but for me its spiderman. 2 is worth the price alone. That was a masterpiece.

Now I need to get rid of the Spiderman 3 that came with 40gb PS3. Does anyone know if Blockbuster or Rogers Video take BluRay trade in's? otherwise I'll try to do a trade for another movie on here. msg me if you want to work something out.

I think Yes. I also got the used SM3 from EB for $2.70 a while ago, but if I can find the Spiderman Trilogy, I would like to get it as well. In addition to SM1, SM2, I think it also comes with a bonus disk for SM3. The used SM3 that I bought or any SM3 bundled with the 40G PS3 does not have the bonus disk.

[v8boi]

bestbuy is selling it for 79,99
I will try to go pm it for 13,98$

I'll tell you guys when i come back

[TheHeeyyy]

I just got back from my local EBGames, and the only game they have on sale today is Crysis for $30 (not a great deal imo). Only one more week of this sale left, so let's hope it ends with a bang.

Haha, yes I was being sarcastic. :)

Actually, I think I'm going to wait until the PS3 bundle includes a rumble controller (even though they said they wouldn't), or Xbox announces a Blu-ray addon for cheap.

True say. I purchased a new copy of SM3 from the EB at Eaton Centre (what a nutso mall) for $9.89. Find out about the trilogy deal, so I exchanged my copy of SM3 for the trilogy, and paid the difference ($11-something.) As Tony the Tiger would say, it's grrrrreat!

I didn't saw SM trilogy at Quebec :(

Somebody would be kind enough to buy one for me and ship it to me ? I can pay a little more to get one !

PM me if you are interested !

[Primetyme]

I went into EB Games and asked for Spiderman trilogy, however it was on hold for someone else. So I took a picture of it with the price tag and went to Best Buy to price match it. At Best Buy, I just showed her the picture and they price matched it for $15.58 taxes included after price match at Best Buy. Here's a copy of the receipt + picture if anyone wants to try it.

True say. I purchased a new copy of SM3 from the EB at Eaton Centre (what a nutso mall) for $9.89. Find out about the trilogy deal, so I exchanged my copy of SM3 for the trilogy, and paid the difference ($11-something.) As Tony the Tiger would say, it's grrrrreat!

Did Eaton Centre have any copies of the trilogy left? I might check it out tomorrow...

[TruE SkiLLS]

hmm, heres the thread:

i went to markville today to ask to check for any 10$ games... they had none, all went back up =P

[bahasad]

GH3 is back up to regular price [at least at my local EB]

[belowzeros]

I went into EB Games and asked for Spiderman trilogy, however it was on hold for someone else. So I took a picture of it with the price tag and went to Best Buy to price match it. At Best Buy, I just showed her the picture and they price matched it for $15.58 taxes included after price match at Best Buy. Here's a copy of the receipt + picture if anyone wants to try it.




Nice price & deal :)

I need a good deal on Rockband for PS3

Anybody know of any going right now? Doesn't matter if it's used or new.

Rogers on Kensington and Hastings has a copy of Rockband for PS3. If you can find something else as a filler then you can have it for $20 with the 2 for $40 deal.

wow you really got lucky, i wish i could be more succesfull, but best buy and future shop are not being consistent! one store in ajax liek yourself will price match it and another wont, all they do is make up excuses on the dman spot and its really annoying as they are not granting their own policy when its comepletely legit, its not limited quanitties as eb has many, its not clearance or liquidation either as its jsut a sale price, its not used, bestbuy asses just keep coming up with excuses maybe i should show this receipt to the bestbuy i go to and they can see that other stores ar eprice matching, all of a sudden they cant price match with ebgames cuz they lose 40 bucks a piece, what happened to their so called customers first crap and price match policy.

if they tell you they're selling below cost if they PM it, tell them that's NOT a valid reason to deny PMs... nowhere in their LPG does it state such nonsense

i guess ^that never really exists for RFDers who go there to PM all the time :D

A co-worker told me that she picked up High School Musical wii (with MIC) for $9.89. I'm thinking it was an error and she lucked out. I went into EB and only saw the game itself for $9.89 new and $4.89 used.

She was lucky, it did not include the mic, the one including mic is regular price. Does anyone know if the mic that comes with Boogie (PS2) will work with High School Musical for Wii. Both mics are both USB mics and both are from logitech. If that works, I can get Boogie for $9.89 and use the mic with High School Musical (Wii).

The mic is the identical model as in any of the following games:
- High School Musical
- Karaoke Revolution American Idol Encore Edition
- Boogie
- Rockband

They may also have different paint logo on them like EA, Konami, Rockband etc. Another thing is.. it doesn't matter which console platforms, you can use a mic that comes with a ps3 games (above) with another consoles like Wii. I believe this logitech mic is similar to the Logitech Vantage mic that are being sold for about $39.99.

Has there been anything for PS3 so far that was good?

I think that the big sales are over.
Well, I hope that's not true, but I was able to get TC2 for $10, a couple GH3's that I traded in to BBV, and the Spiderman BD trilogy for $20. I'm happy, but could alway use more :)

Not to mention all the games from the RV 2/$40 deal to boot......

[markj]

motorstorm for 9.99 was good

I'm guessing they will do Lair, since it seems like it's the only PS3 game in the flyer that didn't go on "sale".

But who knows for sure.

[NightRain]

Lair has been on sale for $29.99 for NEW and $24.99 for USED for about 2 weeks.

[cruzer24]

Lair has been on sale for $29.99 for NEW and $24.99 for USED for about 2 weeks.

Yes I realize that, but it appears other games like Motorstorm, WWE 2008, Stranglehold, Stuntman and a few other games were on sale at there respected prices...but went down to $9.89 for a few days during this "biggest sale ever."

Just my observation.

[Sprite_TM]

i got smackdown and it sucks. its such a lame game, probably i dont know how to play it but once i pull a chair from the ring and smack it on someone's head, the game is over.

Thats so sad .. ever heard of a DQ?..take down the ref first.. then wail on em .. if you choose anything but a normal match e.g extreme , ladder match.. you can whip anybody with so much stuff.. its fun :cheesygri

Me and my bro have been playing WWE since Smackdown on the PS1.. Yes this comes nowhere to nextgen graphics but for 10$ it delivers a great co-op experience.

I got the used 360 SvR 2007 for $5 from EB a couple weeks ago and it's barely worth that price. I had a tables match in story mode where I was about to finish off my opponent, but he reversed a move and threw me up on a table that was set up outside of the ring. He then proceeded to hit me with an irreversible chest slap over and over and took my chest damage from completely healthy to completely destroyed. I tried button mashing to get up off the table, but he'd hit me with the chest slap again and I could never get up. After awhile, I gave up, grabbed a snack and marvelled at the cheapness of the AI. It was like getting pink-bellied for 10 minutes. To make matters worse, the computer couldn't even finish me off, since he needed a finisher to put me through the table and his momentum meter was completely empty after doing the same move for 10 minutes.

[Pyobum]

Errrrrrrr... Back on topic please? :lol:

This sale makes me never want to pay more than $10 for a game now, especially since I already have a bunch of other games I have to play first.

[SimySima]

I went to Eb Games yesterday and they had big bins of USED games 2 for $20, i didn;t see any of the NEW 9.89 games there. Would they be on a shelf or in a basket with all the other 9.89 games.

BURNABY, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jun 16, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- FUTPF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Calgary video gaming enthusiasts have a new source for quality used video games and a place to trade-in previously played titles. Future Shop, Canada's largest retailer and e-tailer of consumer electronics, today announced the launch of their used gaming program at six stores in Calgary. The city has been selected as the pilot city for the program which will roll out nationally by late summer.
Calgary customers can retire games in exchange for credit towards other previously-owned titles. Or, they can take advantage of purchasing used versus new games for their collection. When the program rolls out nationally, customers outside Calgary can turn-in their used games for a credit on a gift card to use towards purchasing any item in-store. All used games will be tested, cleaned, and re-packaged in like new condition for customers and will be backed with a 30-day guarantee.

"Future Shop recognizes the growing demand for used games with the increased interest in social gaming, online gaming across Canada especially in the City of Calgary," said Anita Sehgal, Director of Customer Experience, Future Shop. "We're thrilled to meet the lifestyle needs and cycles of customers with families, new gamers and gamers looking for the next challenge or to increase their library of video games.

Future Shop will accept selected titles for five of the current gaming consoles: XBOX 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS.

Thousands of titles will be accepted for trade-in and sale at six participating Future Shop stores in the Calgary area:

- Northland Village (420-5111 Northland Drive NW)

- Northeast Calgary (3319-26 Avenue NE)

- Shawnessy Towne Centre (110 - 350R Shawville Boulevard SE)

- Coventry Hills (331-130 Country Village Road NE)

- Deerfoot Meadows (1180 - 33 Heritage Meadows Way SE)

- Beacon Hill (11810 Sarcee Trail NW)

Calgary is a healthy market for piloting Future Shop's used gaming launch. Earlier this year, in response to the popularity of video gaming in Calgary, the company launched two new positions including: Head Gamer and Gaming Experts. These are store associates who have extensive gaming backgrounds and product knowledge.

[uklamen]

Not sure if it was posted but I stopped in today and got N3 Nintey Nine Nights for $4.99 used. My room mate had always looked at it and wondered.. didn't buy it due to reviews but figured at that price worth a try for him.

Didn't see anything else of note.. mind you I ask anything new at 9.89 and the fella just sorta stares at me.. must have been a rough day at work.

Read the manual, that's why it's there.

I like the game - I have been playing the Smackdown series for a few years now. I actually don't watch that WWE crap, but I did watch TNA for a few months.

The game is definitely more enjoyable when playing with other people's Create-A-Wrestlers (CAWS). Since the PS3 can easily transfer save files via USB drive, I was able to get a good save file of various wrestlers like Sting, A.J. Styles, etc.

Yeah, I noticed the "used" section the other day at Beacon Hill. I wonder how their TIV compare to EB and BBV. Maybe I'll stop and get some details the next time I stop in.

Just called FS and they quoted me $18 TIV for Thrillville for Wii. That compares to $7 @ EB. Apprently FS's system isn't setup to accept trades yet but they said it should be ready sometime next week. Trade credit is only redeemable for Video Games though.

now that i think about it, i wonder how PMing is gonna work for used games...

they're gonna be WASTED if we see more $5 PPed game deals at EBG, and if FS/BB sells used games for only $5-10 cheaper than new ones

e.g. GH3 $5 used EBG, vs. $50 used FS/BB

PM for $0.50 + tax ? :D :lol:


this may be pretty awesome news that they're selling used games. ... time will tell how they compare w/ the competition... :D

[Super strokey]

my suggestion is that people in calgary dont exploit the Pming too much until it gets locked in for the rest of the country cause if they start losing money or prehaps having the redflag effect too much it could stop them from carrying out everywhere.

Seeing what EBG did to BBV... I can't wait for EBG to retaliate against FS/BB for going into their "used games" market territory. Can't wait for $0.50 used games!

[TheGamer2400]

Looks like EB is cooling off on the deals. I believe their "Game Days" sale is ending this Sunday, so I'm not surprised that they don't really want to put anything new on sale.

Possibly the best thread for me to ask this in.. but while I was in the theatre watching the new Hulk movie (fantastic) I got a message on my phone saying my pre-order for Battlefield Bad Company was in..

not at all. they are just clearing out stocks

[chdude3]

Is EB games going out of business and Gamestop is replacing it?No, Gamestop bought EB. Notice how on www.ebgames.ca it says "Powered by Gamestop"? Similar to how Circuit City bought out Radio Shack... stores are all still there with the same staff and same product, but most have become "The Source by Circuit City".

Possibly the best thread for me to ask this in.. but while I was in the theatre watching the new Hulk movie (fantastic) I got a message on my phone saying my pre-order for Battlefield Bad Company was in.. I thought the game wasn't out until the 23rd. Can someone confirm they got the call also or what's going down?

I think the release got bumped up a week, so go get it!

[Gentile]

Called EB, nothing new at all this morning. I have $10 burning a hole in my pocket for a new game and it's just not happening this week. Booo

OK... so forget EB.... go to BBV, note the 9.99 and 4.99 games, then go to FS and PM them and get them for between 2.49 and 7.49. Get three of them if you like and then go pick out a trade 3 get 1 free game for your $10.

It's like magic!

I turned $25 into a brand new DS using this same method yesterday. My local BBV is selling Alien Syndrome for $4.99 brand new and FS sells it for $29.99. After PM it was $2.49 and it has an $8 TIV at EB so it qualifies for any of their trade in promos right now. I did the same thing with a 4 other games ranging from 4.99 to 9.99 at BBV and then used the "Trade 5 to get a new DS" promo.

Your welcome.... :cheesygri

Spiderwick Chronicles for Wii (9.99 at BBV, 49.99 at FS, equals 5.99 after PM)
DK Barrel Blast for Wii (same as above)


On a slighter more expensive level
Turning Point for 360 (14.99 at BBV, 54.99 at FS, equals $10.99 after PM)

I haven't checked the TIV on the other BBV games because that's all I needed to do the trade-in for the DS but if you check the BBV 9.99 thread in this forum you can get the whole list of what's on sale and then just call a few EBgames (I say a few because usually I'll take about 8 or 10 games and then ask the TIV on the phone for about 2 at a time from each EB. Otherwise they start getting ticked.)

End of the day.... 2.49 plus a few others at 5.99 brings it to less than $30 for a brand new DS. :cheesygri

[katamaris4ever]

Well if Geometry Wars is anythig like Rez for Dreamcast, then $10 is a huge bargain!! Rez was an awesome game (short, but aswesome)

Uh, wasn't Rez on PS2 and remade to 360? Anyways, Rez is an awesome game, and Geometry Wars is well worth 20 to 30 dollars!

Yeah, but how do others learn of the deal in the first place if we can't share it with one another?

I for one, have been grateful every time someone posts something like this - sometimes I get the deal, sometimes I don't (rule of Ya Snooze, Ya Lose) - but if they didn't post at all, I wouldn't get any of them.

Just sayin' - still a friend to all :cheesygri

That's the million dollar question, how to share a deal without sharing it with hoarders too.

I guess when you have to do the calculating for them, that could be a sign they may not be savvy enough to figure it out on their own when all the tools are already posted all over the site. Just my opinion but it's getting tough to fight with hoarders, especially when you can't leave the moment you see the post.

Agreed, I think that if you make people aware of the deal, they should be able to figure out how to get the TIVs at BBV/EB and figure out the best way to do things for themselves.

Not to knock the poster. I appreciate his post. I'm just wary of complete hoarders taking advantage of the deals and ruining it for others.

I love these deals, and would never know if not for the posts. Half the battle isn't the post at all, but the inconsiderate buyer.

Look, I can run around and grab 6 copies of each deal while still leaving plenty of stock for other RFD'ers if I really wanted to get that many.....it's called PM'ing. Buy ONE at EB, take the receipt to FS and/or BB, repeat. That way there's always plenty left at EB, and for every one in stock at EB, it can stem to lots of others from the other stores.

If anyone hasn't noticed.. RFD seems to be going on a summer advertising blitz. I see two on my walk to work past the Dome and up Spadina. I imagine they wouldn't want to limit any part of the forum from potential new customers.

I try not to hoard things usually but if I wanted to buy a PS3, and I can get 8 copies of GTA 4 at Rogers for $20 each and take them across the street to get $160 off my PS3 in trade value profit... Would I be ******** not to?

Used games from RV 2/$40 is a totally different beast than the $10 new games from EB, that's what I was talking about.

That may be the case some of the time, or even most of the time, but there are DEFINITELY abusers that are members.....like say:
dude seriously,,do you know how many deals i have missed(honestly) and was able to get in on because the guy working was cool,,or i charmed someone,,or the girl working thought i was cute and let me get away with it,,part of RFDealing is being an actor,,seriously any hardcore rfd's out there know what i'm talking about,,,thats part of the fun of the game for me,,,BTW i traded 11 copies of GH3 at 4.99 for 30 each and bought a WII for the equivalent of $62 bux with the tax,,,at around 8 different blockbusters,,,4 copies had the not for resale sticker and i had to ********/charm the clerk into letting me get away with it,,,that is the truly is what it means in the art of the deal,,not that i needed to have a WII(i have a ps3 and 360) it was just there and i enjoyed the challenge of it,,,dude it's zen pilosophy in motion,,and blockbuster is still open today right?,,,i didn't bankrupt them did i?
(Sorry for making your heads explode with that one)

[Vanilla88]

I did happen to see a few games for $9.89 or $9.99 for 360 but none of them worthwhile mentioning, although if you could find a used xbox 360 game for $5 I don't see how you can go wrong.

[the_fm]

besides Stranglehold, there isn't much.

there's the 2 for $20 deal going on (mainly PS2 and 360). lots of old games but i did found some gems: Rainbow Six Vegas and Star Wars original trilogy. there was a copy of TR Legend but i already have that game.

a guy asked the manager if he could get any game for the 2/$20 and she said it's ok as long as it's under $20 so a big YMMV

[Lone_Prodigy]

Reputation encourages spam. Locking forum access decreases advertising revenues for RFD and stops hoarders for all of 2 minutes while they create an account. Post-count/seniority restrictions encourage spam.

You're free to do what you want.

The whole concept of RFD is the idea of a community, sharing, not hoarding, etc though. So you should be somewhat considerate of others in the community.

Once again, you're free to do what you want, but most of us here try to give at least as much as we take.

I'm sure there are tons of lurkers who are hoarding games or whatever reading posts on RFD.

Strangely even EB workers are doing it...
Just talked to someone at BBV who said that some guy who works at EB came over to get some game (I think Tomb Raider for some system). He picked up 4 or 5 of the same game so he could trade it in (presumably at his store).

Personally I felt guilty even buying games from BBV which I used to do a trade in at EB...not sure if I would do it again...lol. Course, part of the problem is that I ended up trading games I got from BBV that I was planning of keeping but found out that the used games I did bring into EB didn't qualify. Oh well. Was able to keep SSX Blur and Super Swing Golf season 2 so not all bad :)

well, you did say T3GIF for ~$10 ... that's assuming you can actually PM that many diff. games for <$5 ea. at FS/BB

if Alien Syndrome is the only $5 game that qualifies as $8+ TIV at EBG, to achieve the $10 or less goal for T3GIF, you'd need 3 copies of Alien Syndrome

but yes, i get your idea.

[pepperMonkey]

which games did you grab and didn't qualify? I'd like to exchange for a new one from bbv and get rid of some of my old copies of wii games like scarface, ssx blur etc.

Sorry, the ones that didn't qualify are games that I already had so nothing to do with BBV. Though I was told that Super Swing Golf 2nd season was <$8 which I kept in any case.
Had some old GBA and GC games that were >=$8 tiv but didn't qualify and misc games from a bunch of systems (XBox etc.) that were <$8 tiv.

I had to use scarface for trade in so I know that works. I believe it was something along the lines of $17 tiv. Same with Manhunt 2 (+/- $1 or two). Trauma Center: Second Opinion was $8 tiv. damn, wanted to play that one too...I think I'll get another copy...
SSX I haven't a clue since I kept mine.
Oh, RE 4 works also...which I didn't plan on trading in since I haven't finished it yet...I may go out and get myself another copy...haven't decided.

Went into EB Games on Sportsworld Drive in Kitchener tonight. They have no PS3 games marked down to $9.89 at all. He said to just keep checking in every day as they are just having random 'spot sales'. Also inquired about the Spiderman Trilogy on Blu-ray DVD for $19.99 but they are all sold out and the standalone Spiderman 3 on Blu-ray has now gone back up to regular price.

These game day deals started out really well, but it appears they've slowed down tremendously now. It's been around a week since the last $9.89 PS3 games.

As I assume there are a lot of Toronto gamers following this thread, you should check out the free Video Games Live concert happening this weekend...

Picked up new Star Trek Conquest WII for $9.89.

if anyone doesn't mind PPed and can't find this at EBG, RV is selling this for $10 as well.

[fmpsportsguy]

oh cmon now... "share deals" was/IS more like share steals... remember the 150% price match deals from stooples.. who are you kidding!!!

We are all here to get something for less than retail and take advantage of "WHAT IS OFFERED"... we either take advantage for ourselves to use, or for friends.. or to make a buck..

HMMMM sounds just like what RFD ........ IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't be going all high and mighty on "profiteers"... cause RFD is just doing the same thing!!!! How many people get paid to post deals??? Who profits..US or RFD?

Lets ask RYAN how much he is making NOW!!

it's ppl like you on the forums that make the RFD community look bad.

RFD was created merely to *share* deals, not for personal profiteering purposes.

I was told at BB that they need some kind of advertising as on a piece of paper or website in order to price match.

BB is pulling your chain - which they and FS often do.... you don't even need a receipt - just contact the competitor store to confirm stock and price. Then have BB do the same. Once they have verified stock and price they will usually do the PM. It's just that right now some of them have been getting difficult because of all the EB sales.

[el_gopo]

i have tried twice PM-ing with receipts at futureshop...but they always want to call to make sure 'that the store has the game in stock'...guess it doesn't matter that i already have one in my car.

as for my 2cents regarding having members or members with 50 or more posts being the only ones who can view some threads--it would also lead to more people submitting completely useless posts...almost like this one and the other half in this thread

Don't be so hard on yourself. I thought your post was very informative.

At the end of the day, I doubt there's much we can do to stop hoarders. Nature of the internet.. 90% of the people help the community and 10% just take. I'd still prefer to come here than go to Craigslist, where people have complete anonymity.

BB is not pulling his chain. While they may match unadvertised prices, their policy is to match advertised prices (from their website):

Either prior to purchase or within 30 days of purchase (14 days for computers, monitors, printers, notebook computers, camcorders, digital cameras, radar detectors, portable DVD players, and air conditioners) should you find a lower advertised price, including those on the internet from an authorized Canadian Dealer, we will match that price and beat it by giving you an additional 10% of the difference.

Thanks! Got a used copy during lunch break. The staff knew nothing on sales today and the game still has a $14.99 price tag but it rings in as $4.99. Would never find such deal otherwise.

BBV here has tons of stranglehold used at $10, with the b2g1 that would be the way to go.
It's also new for $10 at BBV. Also saw Lego Star Wars II and Sega Rally Revo for $10 new for 360, The Simpsons Game for $15 new for 360 and The Club for PS3 $20 new. These are the ones I can remember.

This EBGames sale has gotten BBV all paranoid. I was just at a BBV and a guy traded in GTAIV PS3. After they guy left, the mail CSR said to the female CSR, "Is EB doing a promo on GTAIV?"

The female CSR said she didn't know and told him to check for stickers on the game and call EB. He found no stickers on the game or the case. He then called EBGames to ask if they were doing any promos on GTAIV. EBGames told him no, neither new nor used on either system were on promo.

[neksus]

They're currently not accepting GH3, either.
I'm not sure why - all the EB copies are software from the bundles and have no UPC to scan to determine TIV anyway.
All it does is screw me out of trading in my copy.

[the_fm]

They're currently not accepting GH3, either.
I'm not sure why

because of some guys who traded in 11-14 copies of GH3

[neksus]

I tried trading it in the first day of the GH3 sale at EB.
Are all the copies of the GH3 for sale at EB have no UPC or is that an exclusive thing on the more western EBs? If none have UPCs, BB won't accept them - which leads me to believe BB is simply paranoid.

[loopholez]

Great! I managed to price match Stranglehold in BB, it was selling for 49.99!

lol basically the 10% extra granted me the game as PREOWN price from EB.

LOL thanks again guys

perhaps true, but it IS a form of proof of which they ask for when PMing.

and BTW, FWIW, ads are not necessary as many local competitors don't advertise their sales (like EBG, for this particular GOTD deal)

i guess f/ now on, if they have s/b trade in a game worth $30+ TIV, they'll start getting suspicious :D

LOL Welcome to high school, children!

[bombdiggity]

I couldn't care less about this CAG/RFD rivalry. I visit both forums so I rarely miss out on anything.

My point had nothing to do with your personal feelings or choices. It was about the name of the other forum being posted here by foxmcloud when it has in the past been carefully guarded and not mentioned or revealed.

And as you know since you frequent the other forum, that members there constantly talk about withholding deals from the RFD community and keeping deals away from RFD forums. Many RFDers here, although they benefit from deals posted here too, withhold deals from here in respect to this. And they tell others in the other forum who are RFDers as well, to do so too.

So that was what I was referring to...how such members would be horrified at the thought that RFDers would now go to their site and see their deals too (even though this was always possible anyways lol).

Now there is the assumption that all pms happen when something at a particular store is on sale for a lower price than another competitor and that the price is advertised in a flyer.

This would mean that if a store's regular price is cheaper than its competitor, the competitor would not have to pm because its not advertised?..that is not true. For example, EB has the DBZ 3 game for $25. Its a white sticker so its regular priced. There is also nothing on the flyer mentioning this price. FS still has the game on sale for $50. I went to FS and they did a pm for me. It would be unreasonable for them not to price match just cos they can't find the lower price on the flyer. Besides not every product is sold at a standard price at every major store.

Yeah but how are you going to argue against them. Their policy strictly says ADVERTISED price. Blockbuster or Ebgames don't advertise their 9.89 games. But then again they do price match online competitors. Too bad bbv and eb have really bad websites.

[bombdiggity]

i think they do that for obvious reasons..... too many hoarders/scalpers on here.

regardless of reasons or not, the point is that they prefer RFD didn't know about deals posted in their forums or that they be openly "known" on RFD. hence my joke about them crying. personally though, I find it a bit unfair to benefit from this forum but not giving back to it and purposely keeping silent about deals and keeping them to that forum. if RFD is truly so repugnant, you would think to avoid it altogether. not whine about it constantly but keep coming back. if you keep coming back then there's benefit to you, and you shouldn't refrain from benefiting others here as well. but that's my opinion.


i'm sure many of us are aware of CAG and deals posted there, just that we rarely make ref. to the forums/deals there.

yes you would be right, which is why the actions of those individuals is in my eyes, so absurd. all the secretive antics for nothing.

there are those in this forum that explicitly stated in threads b4 that they purposely kept silent on deals on RFD. then in CAG they went on and on about keeping RFDers ignorant about said deals. some RFDers on there also complained about the deals when they were eventually posted here by RFDers. as if they broke some law for posting deals just b/c CAG members wanted to keep it secret. i'm sure you have an idea of what i'm talking about since you're in every thread. especially the video game ones. i'm not merely referring to the fact that CAG isn't brought up. i'm talking about WHY CAG isn't brought up and how some RFD members who also happen to be CAG members wish to keep it that way. for the purpose and intentions of keeping deals out of RFD.

anyways let's not hijack this thread. i made a short comment joking about it. let's move on shall we...

all i can say is i've PMed using receipts before, and they're perfectly fine as proof of lower price (i'm sure many others on here have done so too)

i've phoned CS before to inquire about this and they said sale doesn't necessarily have to be advertised, b/c many competitors don't do so. receipt will suffice.

Whether you think their policy is fair or reasonable is irrelevant. It is their stated policy and sticking to their stated policy is a completely reasonable thing to do. That's why they have stated policies so everyone knows what they are agreeing to be obligated to do. If the choose to go beyond the policy, great. but the discussion was about a situation where BB/FS declined to do a PM because it wasn't an advertised price. Their PM policy does not obligate them to match any price anywhere, although they may choose to do so.

what's interesting to note is that the PC version (http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/938956.asp) of HoV is rated so much better than the 360 version (http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/938000.asp)

The PC version's review is only based on 1 review; whereas the 360 version is an average over 38 reviews.

I am planning on going to EB today or tmrw what games are on sale ($5-15)

not much. the sale ends tomorrow. the best deals were at the beginning so they're gone now

[Headhunter]

There are big temporary price drops announced every Monday or Tuesday, something else will come up next week. The majority of the deals seem to be for the 360...

Guess you haven't been paying very close attention. :rolleyes:

1) They've been putting out new deals everyday except for Sunday and Monday (as they send the deal through the head office computers the day before and they're closed on the weekends). Though the last couple of days have been pretty dry.

2) From what I've seen added to my collection, it was Wii titles on sale for the most part, but a pretty good selection (in terms of quantity, if not quality) across all next-gen platforms and the DS -- PSP owners got kind of shafted).

3) The sale ends tomorrow -- June 22nd.

So don't hold your breath waiting for those big 360 price drops on Monday. :D

For someone with so many posts...what is wrong with stumbling accross a steal..buying everything up because you know you can make a few bucks... AND THEN.. posting it in here??? so others can take advantage of it. You would have to be an idiot after so many years here to NOT realise people will try and make a buck off of a good deal. If you don't like profiteering.. then why are you here? Profiteer off the stores ( IE pricematch/tradei ns etc etc..) is the same as buying something cheap and selling it for a higher price or LETTING SOMEONE TELL YOU THE PRICE IS LOWER AT XXX STORE...

YOU ARE JUST LUCKY PEOPLE POST THE DEALS!!!


uh... you got ^that wrong dude.
it was "save a buck"



perhaps the mods since it's their job, but the rest of us post deals b/c we want to share a deal w/ the community,... and no we don't get paid to do it

-------



receipt has price/product listed on a "piece of paper"... so there ya go :razz:

--------



^ a few yrs back, maybe

i can't vouch for other RFD sub-forums where others contribute, but in the hot deals forum, nowadays it's more like the other way around.... -_-

[thechampion116]

too bad this deal is ending and hopefully something good starts up.

concerning the hoarders and all that stuff. I don't like what they do, but it is some extra cash on the side which I would really love.

The best I do is find a cheap game to use as higher TIV to buy a newer/better game. This I constitute as an okay thing to do. For example, when Zelda TW was on sale at BBV for $10, I bought it and gave it to EB for $29, sounded fair to me. I eventually used the $29 for this very sale.

I know we all complain about hoarders but we'd love the dollar bills filling our pockets as well.

[Lone_Prodigy]

Money is money. People just have different opinions on morals and karma.

[Bastich]

depends on which Wii game you're ref'ing to

the AAA titles like MP3:C they had v. few to begin w/
IMO it was a bad idea to put a game on sale in v. ltd qty's, on sale for 1-2 days only, end the sale, and then the next couple days they rec'v a new batch of the game ... only to let their customers know that sale is over "too bad so sad" story

you can tell quite a few RFDers on here weren't too impressed by that action (can't recall if the rants were expressed in this thread or the other thread... but it's in 1 of the threads)

[mahjongmaniac]

For someone with so many posts...what is wrong with stumbling accross a steal..buying everything up because you know you can make a few bucks... AND THEN.. posting it in here??? so others can take advantage of it.

if that person "scoops up everything" and THEN comes to post it here, well that defeats the sole purpose of this website... that is, to share deals.
so much for the concept of "sharing" when you leave nothing left for others.


You would have to be an idiot after so many years here to NOT realise people will try and make a buck off of a good deal. If you don't like profiteering.. then why are you here?

you have your own set of guidelines for morals/ethics, and i've got mine.
no i don't like to be MrKat and try to clean out every RV store of AAA titles everytime they have a 2-for deal... i'm not one of those @$$e$ ....

i'm here b/c of the once-great community of friendly RFDers and b/c many that enjoyed sharing deals w/ others... back before i joined, you'd rarely witness hoarders
not so much the case a couple yrs later after i joined the forum.


Profiteer off the stores ( IE pricematch/tradei ns etc etc..) is the same as buying something cheap and selling it for a higher price or LETTING SOMEONE TELL YOU THE PRICE IS LOWER AT XXX STORE...

not everyone on here goes to FS/BB/stooples to PM and then flip it for profit.

i enjoy PMing b/c of the convenience and extra savings.

YOU ARE JUST LUCKY PEOPLE POST THE DEALS!!!

uh... yeah.... i think *i* should be the one saying that.

concerning the hoarders and all that stuff. I don't like what they do, but it is some extra cash on the side which I would really love.

unless you're buying to flip on ebay/CL/kijiji for "cash" profit, you can't make a living off of using TIC via trading in games at EBG/BBV

BBV - sure, you can use the TIC to buy confectionary items there, but are you really going to eat junk food there for the rest of your life? i think the obvious answer for majority of the ppl is no
EBG - sorry man, no food to buy there at all! :lol:

well, of course it sounds fair to you, ... but think of it this way in another person's POV:
you're that person that has been looking to buy LoZ:TP and have been longing to get a chance to play it, but don't want to fork out $30+.
BBV $10 deal comes along, and you think you're in luck, b/c you've found a great deal. however, some person gets ahead of you to buy it and it was the last copy. "you snooze you lose"... the worst part of that is, you find out later that the same person that bought it had no intentions to play the game at all, and only wanted to go to EBG and trade it in for "profit". then, you realize you don't have much option but to hope to find another copy at another store (fat chance that's gonna happen for rare/low qty/old games), or buy it at EBG. prbly won't be the latter cuz you can't afford / hate EBG's ripoff pricing for used games. but the former option might prove to be difficult

...now how would you feel?

[Mr Al]

Any deals today ?

Could not have said it better!! Im sure people during the gold rush in Alaska would find large quantities of gold but would only take what they needed and leave all the rest for the other people. With more than 47,000 posts some people should stop typing and start shopping.

[brucedlx]

All they had today was some useless spongebob game for wii. Didn't bother. Sale is over tomorrow.

Anyone know if any Fifa games went on sale for either the DS or XBOX 360?

read again. i said about a couple yrs later after i joined i started seeing these "bad apples"

even for the long-time RFDers that were here long before i was, i'm sure they can tell how RFD has changed over the past couple of yrs.

heck, why not ask the admins, Derek/Ryan?! i'm sure they're more capable of describing how the RFD community has changed better than anyone else

[mcbain]

WOW i just trade 4 games that i paid 4.49$ used at EB for GTAIV and COD4using a trading website ! a little better then EB TIV LOL

PM for detail i dont want to kill this deal...

Deal should be dead, but Master of Illusions should still be 9.89. Bought one yesterday.

That deal is over.

Just bought myself a copy this friday (05) at that price. Might be over now on saturday. better call a store and ask http://ebgames.ca/ (under store locator)

[katamaris4ever]

ouch.. i missed out on this...anybody know if UT3 for PC is still $10?

It honestly depends. I went to one last Monday when i was visiting Kitchener and found not only 4 copies of UT3, but Myst 5 for 5 bucks and Master of Illusion and Puzzle Harvest Moon for ten bucks new. Perhaps Master of Illusion hasn't sold quite well to get bumped up:?:

guess i'll have to check back to see if they restocked

when that game was indicated on RFD as 1 of those $9.89 games, i went to a couple stores and neither had a BNIB sealed copy.. only gutted copies. i guess this depends on the store, but it seemed to me that it sold pretty well (that is, unless they only had like 1-2 to start w/ )


also, i wanna mention that for those interested in buying this, see if the box is sealed w/ those transparent circle stickers. if it's been tampered w/ or cut, then you might wanna check inside for contents.
i asked for a new copy (didn't want the one on display), and the CSR said she had to go to the back to get a copy... when she brought it back out, i didn't bother to check if the box was sealed (thought it was in fact new), and then only to realize when i got home that the transparent circle sticky had been cut, and the DS game inside was not MFR-plastic-sealed at all. it was a open gutted copy, albeit claimed as "new"

This is still the PC version right? I'd love to get the PS3 version for $9.89.

[Captain Snazzypants]

This is still the PC version right? I'd love to get the PS3 version for $9.89.

It is now $19.99 for the PS3 version - search the recent threads to find out where (can't remember right now...)

bbv i saw it used for 19.99

[wpooh888]

bbv i saw it used for 19.99

$19.99 NEW at the BBV on Queensway and Park Lawn (GTA). Try PM'ing BB or FS to save an extra $2 . . or PM at FS and try to use the $5 off coupon. Sunday is the last day to use the coupon.

[Moebiwankenobi]

ouch.. i missed out on this...anybody know if UT3 for PC is still $10?

I was able to get UT3 for PC @ $10 just 8 days ago. Although that could have gone up again now. But the store I went to had 31 in stock!

Well the GH3 price went up and then back down again a week after. Not sure what the price is now but it's like playing the video game stock market! FUN!

[mahjongmaniac]

$19.99 NEW at the BBV

http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=603517

should be nationwide

[freakx2001]

Can confirm that UT3 PC was $9.98 at the Bayshore mall EB in Ottawa as of yesterday....

I dunno. Puzzle Harvest Moon was gutted (I didn't get it however), but, as I was making my purchase for TC: UTK 2, I spotted a random copy of Master of Illusion. For some reason, it was a BNIB copy with MFG sealing and cards, but I didn't see the case on display like other EBs. Maybe you need to ask if there's a sealed copy?

[cechlin]

So this is dead pretty much now?

[jonkaho]

used copy of Rock Band for PS2 is still 9.99. (game only)

I got duped once as well, when I asked for a sealed copy and they gave me one from behind the glass case. I figured it was factory sealed, but it was in fact a gutted copy they kept back there for whatever reason. I didn't realize it until I got home.

I hate gutted copies. Everytime I've rejected a gutted copy they act shocked and insulted that I don't want to pay full price for an opened display copy. Do they get commission for selling gutted copies?

actually that's what i meant in prev. post.

i asked for a sealed copy b/c i said it was going to be a gift. since i realized the gutted-copy fact only after i got home, i figured it wasn't worth the hassle to go back arguing w/ them... they're prbly gonna say that they can't do a return b/c the gutted copy is "open" ... and of course there's no point in exchanging since if they had any left, it'd be the gutted copies.

------

Do they get commission for selling gutted copies?

no.

this is what happens when they run out of BNIB MFR-sealed copies. f/ what i hear, they'll always sell all the BNIB MFR-sealed copies 1st, and then when it comes down to nothing left but the display/gutted copies, they sell those to customers as the "new" copies....

If it was any of the games from the Game Days Sale last month they were actually instructed to gut every single copy of a game that was on sale, even when they had 50+ copies of it. That is a pretty disgusting thing to do, I still say they need to get designated display cases from the suppliers to display and never gut any games.

EB in Lasalle has nothing @ 10$, they're all 14.99 and up. Trauma Center was 29.99

[Lockescythe]

Most of the 10$ deals are over but some of the PPed didn't go up in price again. Project Sylpheed 360 went from 4.99 to 7.99. Vampire Rain is still 4.99. TMNT 360 was a whopping 3.99 (which is great since all the achievements are doable in 1 day).

All the time limited stuff is back up for sure but some of the general crap game pricedrops should still be in effect.

and who told you that? a CSR or MOD?


That is a pretty disgusting thing to do, I still say they need to get designated display cases from the suppliers to display and never gut any games.

well, they have display replicates of certain products but not all. like the DSLs for e.g., EBG has empty display boxes avail. specifically meant to be put on display (and i'm sure they're not the only retailer doing that)
f/ what i was told, these come f/ the MFR, i.e. Nintendo.

for just games, i'd doubt Nintendo would send display copies (just game cases) to retailers, ...perhaps unless the upcoming game release was a really "hot" item
