FS is only closed on Christmas.

That depends on province. FS closes for every major Holiday in Newfoundland, BBV however stays open all the time. I think it is even open on Christmas at 12:00. All major stores were closed yesterday and will be closed again tomorrow here in Newfoundland.

Let me clarify for people not in retail:
Future Shop is open on every day where legal with the exception of Christmas.

BBV/Rogers do not close on Christmas.

Hey neksus, any plans for another FS db dump?

[porkepik]

Wii Play FS TIV : 1$ (TIV's still says 7$) tried to sell it today

[neksus]

Hey neksus, any plans for another FS db dump?

Only if somebody who works at FS dumps it and sends it to me.
*cough cough wink wink*

The site that lists everything is IP blocked to FS domains...I've been meaning to head down with my laptop and just try using the wireless network and see if that works...otherwise it has to be from a web terminal which employees have way more access to than I would :)

Even if I could only get one console...the Wii one hasn't been updated in awhile *cough*

[neksus]

Wii Play FS TIV : 1$ (TIV's still says 7$) tried to sell it today

The EB tiv says $7, the FS one was previously $2.

My friend works at my local FS and gave me the username/password to their WiFi access point so if you gave me the url for the list, I could test it out.

Did that deal last week. Got a falcon not a jasper, but still worth it imo. Traded bad company (glad I did it last week!) and armored core for the ps3, plus crisis core (psp) and mario kart (DS).

hmmm i'm debating with myself if i should go for a Pro instead.

Do you think it'll work if i get the arcade, return for store credit, and use the credit for the pro?

essentially, it's trade 4 + 199.99 for pro

[kleptodathief]

^after u get that pro, try that pepsi 25$ rebate! i missedout on that trade 4 + 99 for the arcade...there was that 25$ off coupon as well!:idea:

[mahjongmaniac]

im sure BBV was open... i still remember calling them at 10:30am est on xmas day like 12 years ago when i got my ps1 because i didnt have the cable hookup for it and i needed one lol...i dont think BBV is ever closed for a full day..

i cant comment on FS tho..i woulda ssumed they were closed

lol dude... 12 yrs ago. perhaps things have changed now?

maybe it depends on store/location, but i remember one xmas, a BBV was closed on christmas day

for special holidays like xmas, usually on the bottom of BBV receipts it would print out store hrs for those occasions

[neksus]

I worked at a Rogers Video, had friends and family work there, and had a few friends at BBV - between the 2 dozen or so people I've known, it has never not been open on Christmas. If anything, it's getting worse - there's always new movies opening on Christmas Day.

EB Games/Gamestop open on Monday?

Traded at EB yesterday for T3G1F:

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin $9 tiv (btw, tivs.ca has this incorrectly listed at $7. I actually went in I on March 22nd to get it checked and they told me $9 even then.)

Elite Beat Agents: $9
Motorstorm (original, 'not for resale' version) $10

Preordered Sacred 2 for the PS3. That game looks good!

Also, a shout out to the manager? lady in the Edmonton West end location. I had gone in on Mar 22nd to get prices and do a T3G1F, and at that time all the prices were as I listed them above, however it wasn't a T3G1F weekend (and none of the available preorders were any good). She said in 2 weeks they would have a T3G1F weekend, and for some reason I thought that was this weekend (whereas really it was last).

So when I went in yesterday of course it wasn't a T3G1F weekend, and the guy at the counter wasn't going to give me ANY T3G1F deal (even the ones prominently displayed on the sign hanging above his head, which included Prototype, which looks good).

Anyhow, he called the manager, and I said "I talked to you a few weeks ago and I thought you had said to come in this weekend for T3G1F". In hindsight I was the one who was mistaken, but she let me do my T3G1F for anything they had in the system anyways. Very nice of her. Also I was relieved my 3 games all held their $8+ value for three weeks. Whew!

anyone know TIVs for Skate 2 and Resistance 2? My friend gave it to me coz he wanted to trade it for money @ some local Video game store, but that place said they had an overstock of it so they can't take it. So since my friend needed cash, he just gave em to me.. plus LBP.. but i want to trade in my Skate 2 and Resistance 2 and the AC/DC track pack to get GH:Metallica

Checked the TIVs.ca FS = $30 but it was last updated in FEB. Anyone got any idea?

[neksus]

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin $9 tiv (btw, tivs.ca has this incorrectly listed at $7. I actually went in I on March 22nd to get it checked and they told me $9 even then.)

If you don't post it I can't update it.

EB will be your best turnaround values. You could probably buy it straight across with just those two titles...

[MonsieurMax]

Hey Neksus!

I was looking for Army of Two X360 at EB Games friday (since i thought I read around here that it was 10 bucks, maybe mistaken with the tiv??) anyway, he told me he had one copy in pre-played at 17.99$ and the tiv was 11$...

I did not ask for the tiv but maybe he wanted to show that it was a cheap rental... lol

Anyway, just an update since it's written 10$ on tivs.ca!

[ur bud-dee]

was just on the tivs.ca website to check the trade in value of COD4 (PS3)... is it really still @ $37 at EB Games?? I'm surprised it is still that high for like a yr old game.

It's the most played game on PSN and the 3rd most played game on XBL; On XBL, the #1 game is WAW.

make sense.. good game.. but i prefer to play it on PC (online that is). So I think I will trade it in. Sweet!! :D

yeah i'm looking to pick up Bioshock too...hopefully a price drop down to 30$ and then I'll pick it up!

[MikeyPyro]

On the TIV website it shows NHL 09 for PS3 dropped from 37 to 25? And to think I was willing to buy it off someone for 40 just yesterday....good I didn't. But can anyone confirm this?

[grappos13]

^ not sure about that but i dont think ur gonna find nhl 09 for cheaper than like 39.99 until maybe like july/august

Yes, somebody posted the TIV on here that it dropped. Not surprised as I had a feeling they would drop it in April. Anyways, I'm glad I traded it in last month :razz:

[MikeyPyro]

Heh, thanks for the confirmation. And I know I still wont be able to get it for cheap in stores but buying it privately just got cheaper.

[TheGamer2400]

^ not sure about that but i dont think ur gonna find nhl 09 for cheaper than like 39.99 until maybe like july/august

There's no point buying a hockey game in July/August as 2010 will be out in September.

[MikeyPyro]

There's no point buying a hockey game in July/August as 2010 will be out in September.

Exactly why I'm trying to get NHL 09 for PS3 now. Had it for 360 till it crapped out and I stopped using it so now I need it for this console. Just made a thread on the buy sell trade board offering 10 dollars more than TIV...someone should take it who's looking to get rid of it.


I just want it to tide me over until the new one comes out in September/October.

[Sypher006]

are there a expiry date on the card they give you on your trade in game?

Can anyone who's planning to go to ebgames anytime soon check the TIV for COD 3 for Wii? I'm kinda busy and not planning to go there for a few weeks unless the tiv is kinda high. Thanks for anybody who would volunteer to help. And yeah, i dont have a phone to make a call :)

[bunyen]

yeah i'm looking to pick up Bioshock too...hopefully a price drop down to 30$ and then I'll pick it up!

I saw Bioshock for $29.99 for the PS3...can't recall if it was new or used as it was last week but none the less.

Bioshock for the PS3 is $30 new at Microplay. But I think that means that it is lowered to $30 new everywhere. Anyone who has not played this game must. It is one of the best games ever made.

[ECBomb]

i actually love nhl 09 and dont get why people wanna sell it so quickly...i enjoy it a lot and have great battles with my friends offline and online. only downfall is that the online component was a bit confusing to set up a game with a friend

Bioshock for ps3 is in fact $29.99 new and 24.99 used at eb games.

I get TIVs over the phone all the time.

[kleptodathief]

^ ur lucky...over 50% of ebg workers will NOT give u tivs over the phone based on my calls anyways...well i guess if u say " can i please get a quick trade in value for one game" they will NOT surely turn u down, but if u got a list of games, im pretty sure they will say im busy with customers.blah blah blah

Really, they might have customers. I usually start off with another question about a sale or something, then ask if they can quickly check a TIV or 2.

Really, they might have customers. I usually start off with another question about a sale or something, then ask if they can quickly check a TIV or 2.

Likewise...I've been successful with getting TIV's over the phone. I always start off with "If your not to busy can you please tell me if these games qualify for the T3F1F promotion?" If they're busy they'll tell me if not they have checked my 3 or 4 games.

The key is to be courteous and not get upset if they say no. I seldom tell TIVs over the phone (I seldom even use the phone), but if somebody asks I'll oblige.

Well, you can get most of your money back in credit at EB. Then in a few months NHL 10 will be out and you can save money on that purchase, or you can use your credit to buy NHL 09 again, which will be really cheap since it's obsolete. Your only loss is being unable to simulate the playoffs for the next few months. :D

[Ryd3r234]

Okay great, so do you guys think Bioshock is worth $30?

Bartle-doo!

[cookedDeals]

Okay great, so do you guys think Bioshock is worth $30?

Absolutely, it's an amazing game. I'll never trade my copy, because I know every once in a while I'll want to throw it in and play through it all over again.

If you like story-based shooters like Half-Life 2, you'll eat this up. Highly recommended.

[iamgosu]

Okay great, so do you guys think Bioshock is worth $30?

+1. I'll always try calling instead of going to the store. Phone call over gas, it's so simple. 90% of the time I get the TIV's, BUT I only usually ask for one or two games.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 is probably one of the rarest fighting games. I witnessed some dude trade it in at the fairview EB location only to be bought by the next person in line.

If you do manage to find it at EB it might be cheap but good luck. I found Zone of the Enders The 2nd Runner at EB for $4.99 once! so there is hope. lol

MvC2 is not that rare, games like that FF7, Earthbound, Valkyrie Profile, etc. are not really that rare. It's highly in demand though like the others I listed and thus the price gets jacked up by people on eBay and such.

[Setz]

+1 there is a difference between rarity and high in demand.

FF7 black label is in plentiful supply, and in extreme demand = not rare.
FFT black label is in low supply (<1000 in NA), and in extreme demand = rare.

I have two copies of this (one still sealed), not to mention they're readily available on eBay for like $25. You sure it's rare?

this is a little off topic. but has anyone tried to PM games at HMV? I tried it at the Richmond Center one, but they said they only PM online...but how do you PM online?

Black label for the PS1. There is no FFT for PS2, at least to my knowledge. FFT came out in North America as green label, so it's excruciatingly difficult to find it in black label.

Nah, FFT is pretty reasonably priced on eBay with the black label with plenty of supply. By reasonable though I mean it'll probably cost you at least 40 bucks in most cases.

Gah I meant PS1. Same thing. I googled the image and I have the black label. The green/greatest hits are so gross.

Get a print-out from FS/BB/etc website.

I had the EBGames flyer in my hand, and the dude wouldn't even do it, that's why I'm curious if it was just an isolated store that doesn't do it, or all HMVs don't PM

[TheGamer2400]

used bioshock ps3 at BBV is 24.99...less if u got that 25% off coupon :idea:

anyone know how much this game is selling for now..its OLD game but peeps say its the BEST fighting game ever

Marvel Vs Capcom 2 xbox? they have it on torrent but i figure if its cheap i shud just buy it

I have an original copy with case but no manual. I want to get rid of though as the Xbox version emulates poorly on the Xbox 360. I already have the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 versions too.

Speaking of Marvel VS Capcom 2...I harve a friend who has it for the PS2 and he is the type of guy who doesn't keep stuff in good condition....(e.g. fingerprints..younger brother handles the game etc...). I am not even sure if he knows it is a RARE game.

Black label for the PS1. There is no FFT for PS2, at least to my knowledge. FFT came out in North America as green label, so it's excruciatingly difficult to find it in black label.

Strange. I think around 2003 I was looking for a black label and they were up to 200$ opened black label.

FFT was always released in black label in North America, how else could it have become a green label? Why would they translate the game only to print 1,000 copies? You can't honestly believe that? I think I've come across well over 500 copies of the black label alone. It sold well under the black label, word of mouth got around and it became a hot item, Suikoden 2 hot at one point.

Before the green label came out yes, it was quite expensive to obtain a copy, especially sealed. You can find them on eBay for around 20 bucks now, and that usually includes shipping. Plus an updated version on Advance and PSP.

This reminds me of a time when I actually heard someone at Microplay actually refer to FF7 as "impossible to find on eBay". :razz:

[OldSchoolGamer]

MvC2 is not that rare, games like that FF7, Earthbound, Valkyrie Profile, etc. are not really that rare. It's highly in demand though like the others I listed and thus the price gets jacked up by people on eBay and such.

Yes and no. A clean copy of FF7 is pretty hard to come by. Take a quick look on eBay and you'll see how "variations" there really is. Black label with green label discs. One disc black label, two discs green, manual missing, cracked double case etc etc.

Earthbound is quite rare in it's completed form. (Big box, strategy guide with the scratch and sniff cards).

Valkyrie Profile I never understood. It's tempered quite a bit when it was pulling nearly 200 bucks at one point, now you can find the game and the guide for half that amount. It's easily obtainable, just high enough in demand to command a decent price.

A sealed PS2 copy of MVC2 however is quite rare. Copies show up time to time and hit some pretty high numbers. The game is old enough that hoarders would have sold those copies by now with the price the way it is that only some hardcore collectors are holding on to those copies, with the occasional random person "who has no idea" putting one up for sale.

There's very few "rare" titles out there. Complete and sealed versions will always command the higher prices, a must for anyone out there looking to collect now and sell later.

Same thing happened to me but to a lesser magnitude in comparison to the FF7. I lent my friend Donkey Kong Country SNES ($80 CDN on release date back in 1995!) in about 2003 or so and I just got it back a month ago. I hounded him every now and then and he found it under his grandma's bed... recently. It's all good.

Maybe you just need to bug your friends a little and hound them instead of getting pissed sitting idle. Think it's worth the effort?

You won't get a straight trade, you're only gonna get like 9$ for GT5. I suggest keep it. It's one of the most popular PS3 games (if not THE most popular).

I should ask his brother. Maybe he's seen it. :|

i looked at the tiv site and it said that i would get at least $23 towards the next game. am i wrong? btw sorry its gt5 prologue.

Okay, I've been waiting for Uncharted to go down in price..

why the heck isn't it on Greatest Hits yet?? It made the Europe's Platinum Series a while ago.

TIV at EBG was still $25 just 2 weeks ago

It's got <10 hours of singleplayer,came out 1.5 years ago...bundled with a PS3. How come it's still got so much value? Same could be said about Heavenly Sword!

Because the game is FRICKIN AMAZING and retailers know that. Sony knows it too, because everyone unanimously agrees, so no price drop has been issued on the game. Sony probably needs to squeeze every last penny out of any really successful games too. I waited long enough to buy it as well, and did so three weeks ago finally. And damn was I sorry I waited lol. I found it off Craigslist for $25, and I'm sure you can too :) GET IT, and GOOD LUCK!

[grappos13]

^ uncharted is by far my favourite ps3 game and i got lots lol.... i lucked out and got it in like last august when i got my ps3 for some guy of craigslist for $25 too lol....

and if ur a trohpy hunter, to get platinum is pretty easy, but it will take you a good 30 hrs or so since u gotta beat the game 3 times... or 2 times really slowly..

[kleptodathief]

is uncharted drakes a FSP game? nothing like GOW2 x360? i compare all shooter games to gow2 :cheesygri course im a n00b gamer, i only collect games as u know:idea:

someone is offering me an arcade xbox 360bundle : 2 controllers, wireless adapter, that has tons of games for my ps3 bundle

Halo 3, Call of duty 4, GTA IV, Gears of war 2, guitar hero 3, rock band, Rainbow sixvegas 2, Skate 2, Fear files. + ipod 4gb nano, a ps2 system and a gamecube lol

rockband drumset too haha

is it worth it?

i think it sounds too good to b true...he prolly gonna scam me

[Wick98]

Uncharted is a third-person shooter/action adventure game. It's like Tomb Raider, except great and well-made. However, it does feature a cover mechanic like Gears. It's one of the best games that I've ever played. It's a masterpiece.

Someone above mentionerd a 25% off Blockbuster Video coupon, in relation to used games. Where can that be obtained?

[kleptodathief]

^ i don't think i've seen BBV sell a used uncharted game! if it duz im guessing its 49.99 used ... less with that coupon :idea:

I was, but that's okay. No big deal.

Hopefully Genji still has an $8 tiv. I'm going to go buy a used copy from Blockbuster to trade in. A local BBV also has it used for $10.

What do you mean 3 times, OR 2 times really slowly? I finished it twice, once on hard, then on crushing, but it wasn't really slow at all once you figure out never to use the stupid cover system. As long as you're in aiming mode, you can always shoot around corners before enemies can shoot at you.

I don't get the 3 times part. Are you saying if you breeze through the game three times you automatically get the crushing trophy somehow without actually finishing it on crushing? You have to play it on crushing regardless no?

[grappos13]

my bad... i shoulda clarified.... first time i beat it was before trophies came out.....

but what i meant by it even so is that... the first time u play it thru.. u just go threw and have fun with the game and beat it... whatever difficulty u want.. say normal/hard... then i beat it a 2nd time to get all of the treasures... didnt want to really go looking for those while concentrating on crushing.. then i beat the game on crushing to get that trophy... and then i also had to go back and beat certain areas with certain guns to get the rest of the trophies and get platinum...

what i meant by slow is that if u go thru it first time on hard, u gotta go slower and look around or use a guide to find all of the treasures...then beat on crushing..and even still u might not have the platinum because u need to finish gun kill requirements..

edit: i said 30 hrs and 3 full times to get the platinum trophy..which included a crushing playthru and as a lot of ppl say, this is one of the easier platinums to get... crushing can be frustrating but if i can do it, anyone can lol

First of all, you did not mention the console those games are for! I would think Xbox360 (for all?) since you have Gears 2 and Halo in there...

Second, www.tivs.ca

Your welcome! :razz:

Yeah 360 :P.
And is Tivs really accurate? Because some of the prices seem...high.

[kleptodathief]

^ all those games shud have a min 8 tiv...but i wudn't use those to trade in for a ps3 + 200$ ...better to sell those for cash and buy a ps3 from CL

course if u can get cheap games with a tiv of 8-10, then do that trade in ps3 promo

[Raizen]

Whats CL?
And the only game i really want to keep out of those is NBa 2k9 or Rainbow Six vegas 2.
Those are like all the games i have and I'm planning on selling all my XBOX 360 games and just buying a PS3.
Are there any games that are cheap and have a 8 dollar TIV?

I guess you're planning on doing the T3G1F promotion. Which game are you planning on getting?

Reason I asked this is because I did this to get a preorder of InFamous.

The codes are not unique. I actually kicked myself in getting the PreOrder edition when I found out that ANYONE can enter the code in the in-game menu.

I should clarify - there may be regional variances where certain codes only work with certain versions of the game. But it's not a unique Live code or anything.

Seriously. If you have the game, do a quick Google, find a code, and try it from within the in-game menu.

yea they are not unique. there are 8 different ones I think it was. The code comes in a sticker on the front of the case but someone at EB jakked mine, I never even got it. So I just googled it and got it.

Apparantly the discs are all the same master so everyone has the content to unlock, it's not downloaded from Live.

The only difference after that is a fairly nice foldup map (big whup really) and a different insert sleeve.

How does EB Games return policy work on new games? There was no shrink wrap just a yellow sticker that says "Bring me back" (I can easily put it back on) and I bought the game 6 days ago. Would they accept a refund? And will it be store credit? I kind of want the Socom plus headset now lol, dam I change my mind too much.

[Jet007]

I traded a bump of games at EB yesterday but these were the only ones that had a real TIV since the others were bumped up when I grabbed an Xbox Arcade ...

X360 - Star Wars: Unleashed $27
PS3 - Skate 2 $37
PS3 - NFS: Undercover $37

The bottom 4 have at least a TIV of $8 since they qualified for the T4G1 Arcade for 99.99

X360 - Battlefield: Bad Company
X360 - NCAA Football 09
X360 - Mercenaries 2
PS3 - Dead Space

The bottom 3 weren't accepted and I think I got the prices right on them

The TIV is based on the price of the game at other retailers, the price of the game at EBGames, and how many they have stockpiled across Canada. If you hadn't noticed, Mirror's Edge is 29.99$ new at FS/BB/BBV/etc, and 17.99$ used at EBG. 7$ TIV for a <20$ game is fairly uncommon.

not that hard... motorstorm 1, resistance 2... those r probably 24.99 used games...

and virtua fighter 5 for ps3 was $9 tiv and they were reselling it for 14.99

is virtua fighter 5 for ps3 14.99 still? is that the cheapest?
been looking for need for speed carbon and that game for cheap if anyone knows where i can find them for 14.99 or even less that would be amazing!

I was told the promo that lets you pay for the 3rd title in cash is back on but it's regular business now. So if you had 2 titles against a $69.99 upcoming release you can do a trade 3 with 2 titles and pay $23.33 on the last. You have to pay tax on the cash portion though, It's 26.50ish after tax on a $70 title. It's an official email.

[ngaiden]

^^^ Afaik, it's 2 selected qualifying games + $20 for selected newly released games (already in store), but this won't work for pre-orders.

no that's a different promo. unless of course the two guys helping me were completely clueless but they knew their EB sh*t.

it's any two $8tiv for a trade3 game. They are doing a basic trade3 sale and you are paying the difference for the 3rd title. So if you preorder a 49.99, 59.99 or 69.99 title the value you have to pay changes slightly. It was apparently just emailed last week so it's fairly new change. It's not a promo, supposed to be regular business for the immediate future.

my thinking is that knowing this guy, he probably has like 10 more copies of that game and doesnt want to release it so that the TIV goes down and he gets screwed...

btw... u dont need to post a receipt that u did a pre-order lol...

Maybe once in a while I'll chill out with something cool but I dont' have the time to plod through all the great content available.

Yeah, they do still have it. I used the deal to get X-Men Origins last night. They've changed it so that $69.99 games apply, but they usually have a list of games that qualify for pre-ordering and only some new releases work. You'd be best to call ahead.

It works for some new releases. They usually have to be brand new, or very recent releases. I got Riddick just over a week ago (although I'm not sure if it was available for the deal then. The manager questioned if the clerk had checked the list, but let him give me the game even though he hadn't checked it.)

I also walked in and traded for X-Men Origins yesterday. I didn't pre-order it.

Isn't NG2 like 9.99$ in some places and 19.99$ everywhere else? IIRC, even EBGames sells it used for about 20$.

If u grabbed the 360 version, I'll buy it shipped.

[munsifn]

kind of a side question, but i thought i might ask it here...

does EB or BBV run any promo for buying a X360 console? I know they usually have a trade-3-get-1-free promo with GAMES, do they do anything similar with consoles?

Im looking for a X360 console and have lots of NDS games that should be eligible for trade-in

[mahjongmaniac]

14.98 used at bbv i think

confirmed $15 at BBV (PPed) for NG2 (360)
just saw it yesterday when i passed by a BBV




Setz, where'd you see NG2 for $10 ?

Refer to EBGames.ca for any current promotions.

Trade in 6 games and get a Wii for 139.99$.
Trade in 4 games and get an Arcade 360 for 99.99$.
Trade in 8 games and get an 80gb PS3 for 199.99$.

All games need to be TIV8$+.

Setz, where'd you see NG2 for $10 ?

Nowhere recently. I must have seen a thread in the Hot Deals forum a while back.

[kleptodathief]

setz: im sure u can pickup a cheap copy of x360 battleturd at BBV, using that coupon its like no more than 13bux, not sure if i wanna ship mine to u cuz u'd then know my name/address lol

Well, there goes my would be axe murder victim...

What coupon? It's 24.99$ used at EBGames. 13$ is cheaper than TSCC + shipping anyways.

[neomaster]

Someone asked before if they could pre-order Uncharted 2 at ebgames using the t3g1f promo...well, I did it today so I guess its good ;) Infamous...Uncharted 2, and eventually God of War 3...tis good times.

[grappos13]

setz: im sure u can pickup a cheap copy of x360 battleturd at BBV, using that coupon its like no more than 13bux, not sure if i wanna ship mine to u cuz u'd then know my name/address lol

u seems really tentative about things on here lol... especially that hiding of whatever game u hid on that t3g1f u did for UFC... that just seemed really bad on ur part....RFD has helped u soo much to get good deals and such for ur gaming needs and u go back and blockout a game u used? u shoulda just not posted the receipt at all in my opinion..

also, u dont have to put ur return address if u do not want to... if its only $15, u wont lose much if it somehow does not get delivered to setz

[neomaster]

So what's the final verdict on Battlefield Bad Company [X360]...$11 or $7?

[grappos13]

i would say $7 since setz actually checked today... the other guy posted today, but thats no guarantee he checked today

[belowzeros]

anyone see the new flyer with the +10%, 20%, 30% credit on certain games? that's one messed up list of wanted games lol

my point is that not showing the receipt woulda been much better than putting it up and blacking out stuff...

it just shows that he takes this site for granted and doesnt want to do anything to help out the others on the site and just wants the deals all to himself..

I dropped by during lunch. I took a quick look of all the flyers (there's 3 of them) and nothing stood out. I'll take a more in-depth look later on. This month's promo though is trade more, get extra credit...eg. trade 3 get extra 10% trade-in credit...yeah, it's nothing great :|

[Liko]

Traded in Bad Company for the T3G1F today. Forget to ask for the value, but I guess it's still over $8 in value.

Man...still so confused! Well, I'll take your word for it, the other $7 might have been a mistake for the PS3 version...well, I'll try trading in my copy for some sweet new games.

anyone know the TIV for COD 3 for xbox 360? hasn't been updated on tivs.ca in a few months.. I saw a few copies at my Source store for $14.96

Thanks for the info :) .

I just went to the new Gamestop on Morningside and traded Battlefield Bad Company (360), Resistance and Mercenaries 2 (360) for Infamous :).

For a while, I thought I was stuck with Battlefield, but fortunately it still qualified for the promo.

I dunno if it matters, but Futureshop and EBGames won't take Rock Band: AC/DC anymore.

[DarkGiygas]

i went in today and its $11

[EVIL-C]

One quick question about EB's T3G1F deal:

Can you trade multiple copies of the same game, or do they all need to be different in order to qualify? Thanks in advance.

[grappos13]

I have traded in the same game before.. but most likely they will turn u down..

[NonStopInTheMix]

I asked EBGames the TIV for it a month ago, and I think it was $13.

keep in mind that this TIV for COD3 is only for the original version if i recall correctly. I tried trading it in last month [greatest hits version] and the TIV was lower than the other version for some reason.

[EVIL-C]

I have traded in the same game before.. but most likely they will turn u down..

I'm not worried about trading in more then 1 copy of something at the same time, it's weither or not it would qualify for the free deal, which I'd like to know. I have my doubts, but if anyone here knew for sure, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I went to another Source near me today, picked up Bloomblox, and it had the "Greatest Hits Version".. the one closer to my place had 2 if not 3 copies of the regular version.

you're probably better off buying the regular version if you do want to buy it.

[munsifn]

nice FAQ link, but i have one question that wasn't answered there

how much of a difference will it make if the game I want to trade in doesnt have any paperwork (or even the original case!)

i have mariokart DS, which im planning to trade it..it came with my DS bundle which I bought a few years ago...will the game still be accepted?

DS games don't lose much value if they don't have the case/manuals. Not sure on what value you'd get, but I can say without hesitation that it will work for the T3G1 promo.

Hello friends,

I recently traded in three games and pre-ordered God of War III. The pre-order total came up to $59.99 in credit towards the game. I was a bit worried since I pre-ordered UFC, Infamous and Uncharted 2 which came up to $69.99 in credit. Now seeing that the new trend in new releases (and especially since GOWIII is gonna be a huge one)...I was a bit paranoid that the game might make its debut at $69.99. If that happens...would I have to pay the extra ten bucks or it doesn't really matter and I can just get the game when it releases at no extra cost. Thanks.

NBA live is probably $8
Golden compass for 360 sells @ eb for like 4.99-7.99 used the last time i checked =\ so i dont think it has the $7 TIV as reported on TIVS.ca

I don't know the practice (SCOP?), but if you paid for a pre-order in full, you need not pay any more.

Ex1. You pre-order a 59.99$ game and pay 59.99$ down, game changes to 69.99$ a month later, you do not need to pay the 10$ to get the game.

Ex2. You pre-order a 59.99$ game and pay under 59.99$ down, game changes to 69.99$ a month later, you do need to pay the remainder to get the game.

That's how it should work, but on two occasions now I've had the pay the difference. Didn't feel like pursuing it, but I'm fairly certain they can't charge more.

Crap...now I'm semi-paranoid...lol. Well, I guess there's nothing I can do about it, since it's gonna be awhile for the game to come out. Policies may change, circumstances may arise and what not before the release date. But I'm not gonna know until about 9 or something months.

If I were you, I would bring it back to the store and ask for an adjustment. It should be $69.99 for T3G1F because that's the standard price for most new games. I pre-ordered GOW III as well (T3G1F) and my total was $69.99.

[belowzeros]

yea I'm gonna chime in on this and say go back to the store to see if they'll adjust it.

I preordered Ghostbusters on a trade3 and the price in the computer was 49.99. So they locked me in at 49.99 and won't give me anymore credit for it. Can't change to another title and I can't use more than 49.99 to another game. I was completely annoyed with the manager because I know they can override it if they want to as other stores have no problem. This was at dufferin mall btw.

apparantly if you wait for a trade3 weekend you can transfer a trade3 title over to another with no drama but even dufferin mall wouldn't do that for me.

[neomaster]

okay guys, I'm gonna go there first thing tomorrow morning and get it straightened out. I don't want GOWIII release day to be a stressful one. I'll let you know what happens.

[ngaiden]

I pre-ordered GOW:3 at EBgames about a month and a half ago and it was $59.99. I was also worried that the price might jump to $69.99 on release date. Two weeks after I had a change of heart and wanted to switch it to another game that was $69.99. CSR said I was short $10, I said "No, I did a t3g1f". After some reluctance on the csr's part, he made a note in the system that I should be fully covered (not owe anything).

From now on, i'll only pre-order games that'll be worth $69.99, just so I don't run into problems in the future.

[belowzeros]

yep I learned that lesson too.

apparently you can also change a release you never picked during a trade3 weekend for any title so that's another option. price isn't supposed to matter up to 69.99 but I've been lied to before ;)

You should be fine with your receipt, it proves you did a T3G1F. And the $69.99 price is the new standard because of the value of the Canadian dollar. So, any changes in prices from previous T3 deals should bump up to 69.99. If they don't give it to you, sue them for false advertising (you're not getting it free after trading in 3 games).

[jshebib]

very important to remember.... only trade for $69.99 game....

[jeremy31]

In Ebgames yesterday , Trade 3 for 1 ,,pre-order Ghostbuster PS3 $64.99

Super Swing Golf Wii - $8
Sega Rally Revo PS3 - $8
Genji 2: Days of the Blade PS3 - $8

Chicken Shoot Wii - $7

[Setz]

The smart thing to do is to load up on UFC pre-orders. Gameplay guarentee it for 69.99$ and you're good to go.

My store hasn't started it yet (no clue why), but I imagine it's any PS3, 360, Wii, DS, PSP games. We've had promotions like this before where it's "Trade 5 current gen games get x% more".

You make it sound like EBG has worthwhile promotions. The T6GaDSlite was okay, and the ongoing T3GIF is sweet, but otherwise they are crap.

this would be a good promo if it wasn't limited to "select" games.
if that was the case, might be favourable to trade in games w/ high TIV as the 30% extra TIC could be worth more than the "TMGM" event where you get an extra $20 for 5 games traded in

[neomaster]

Well...I went to EBgames this morning and asked about the pre-order thing. They told me since I used the t3g1f promo that if the game were to increase in price...at the day of pick up, it would automatically be adjusted since the promo covers games up to $69.99. I took his word for it...but then I wanted a second opinion, I went across the street to another EBGames and asked them the same question. The woman there said since I paid for the game in full...on the release date I would be honored the game with no additional cost...but in both cases, the recommend me keeping the receipt for proof of the trade 3.

So if you use the gaming guarantee...do they give you back the full $69.99 plus tax? Cuz I notice on the pre-order receipt, it just says you paid $69.99 in total instead of the price with taxes.

I would have sold you one of mine :(
lol stupid price drops
I had two copies, too...

[pete]

is your "scene it" french version? cuz i got them to scan the english one came up as $35
thanks

not entirely sure.. I thought they were all bilingual.. BUT I am in Quebec, and knowing where I bought it, it was probably french..

[pete]

So if you use the gaming guarantee...do they give you back the full $69.99 plus tax? Cuz I notice on the pre-order receipt, it just says you paid $69.99 in total instead of the price with taxes.

the guy told me that I could come in and give it back right away and I'd get $69.99 in credit OR I could take it home, play the game for a week and then return it, so it would be like a free rental.

[neomaster]

Well...I took the advice of one of the members and tried to switch my GOWIII pre-order to UFC. I was able to cancel the pre-order on GOWIII...but they would only give me $59.99 towards UFC since that's the value I pre-ordered GOWIII for. I complained that I did do the t3g1f dealy and they should bump up the credit since the promo covers games up to $69.99...then well...it was a game of good cop bad cop then. The CSR that I was dealing with said he couldn't do anything about it since there's no way he could change the transaction...the trade in credit gets distributed to the trade titles at the point of transaction. But the other CSR that was working there too was kind enough to keep reassuring me that he would figure something out on the release date. Told me to go there and he'll adjust the price then cuz they couldn't do anything about it now. He made a note for me on the system and told me to make sure that I speak to him on that day and they'll fix it for sure. Well, I guess everything will work out...hopefully. Lesson learned...pre-order games at the highest value. The CSR's there and at some other EBGames I talked to today said they shouldn't even have accepted the pre-order for GOWIII since it was so far off from being released. Oh well.

[pete]

I found a copy of golden compass for the 360.. anyone know the updated TIV at EB?


also Guitar Hero Aerosmith on Xbox 360 is listed at $11 as of may 3 at EB.. that's not right is it? I picked it up for $3.59 there last month!

I just did a T3G1F preorder on Batman:AA and when I got home I realized that it my receipt listed it at $59.99. I went in today and the CSR working told me that since it showed that I had the game paid in full that it wouldn't matter if the price went up to $69.99. I not sure I believe her but I'm hoping it works out that way.

keep your receipt but I'm positive that the system will list you as doing the T3G1F, so you should be okay.

It couldn't have been $11 cuz I called EB Games May 1st and they told me it was $11 then. Was gonna use it for trade in but...the cover looks too damn sexy to give away.

you'll be fine. The time you run into trouble is when you want to use that game/receipt against another of higher value or do some kind of change. Just look em straight in the face and say I did a trade 3 now pony up or imma shank you. Well maybe not but you get my drift :)

[neksus]

Got a spare CoD4 360? How much?

Not anymore. I wanted the credit lol
I didn't know it was only $27 until after my transaction was done. I just assumed it was still $36.

[Yankees 1903]

I cant believe Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Gengi and Resistance still qualify for the trade 3. Traded all 3 today for UFC Undisputed PS3, not bad for 2.5 year old games.

Yes and no. We have records of your pre-order transactions (cash, credit, or T3GIF) up until the game comes out. After you pick up your game we delete the history for that title only.

I checked the box of the Scene It game I got at TSCC yesterday.. it had a tiny sticker on it stating it was the french version. the box was bilingual.. I didn't open it up or anything.


Can someone confirm on Guitar Hero Aerosmith being $11 TIV for Xbox at EB???? I'd be shocked after they were selling them for $3.59 just a few weeks ago.

You can always call them and ask yourself :)

They are usually friendly about it. I have my local EBGames on speed dial.

[mahjongmaniac]

...The CSR's there and at some other EBGames I talked to today said they shouldn't even have accepted the pre-order for GOWIII since it was so far off from being released. Oh well.

approx.'ly when did you pre-order?

it's weird they say that, cuz last i checked, it doesn't matter how "far away" it's being released, as long as they have the SKU in the system, it's pre-orderable

for e.g., well-hyped games like Halo 3, you could pre-order that like >1 yr ahead of time

[neksus]

balonis: which flea market?

Yeah I'm sure he's going to give away his hidden gem.
That's way more valuable than your whited-out game, and look what you did with that :razz:

I think it's mostly uninformed EBGame's CSR'z. I did the pre-order at the EB Games across Cedarbrae mall at Markham/Lawrence. Those guys there said only the games on the "sign above the cashier" were available for t3g1f (they had like 4 games on the list). The EB Games at Warden/Eglinton also said it shouldn't have been done and shouldn't have been on the system.

[stussy2k]

Hey guys, if you do the T3G1F can you take the 69.99 as store credit?

[neksus]

Hey guys, just an update here.
I've acquired another Future Shop tiv list as of today and have started updating. I've done the Wii games for now...took around an hour and a half and I'm not really looking forward to doing the rest :|
I've got another...probably a solid 8 hours of data entry to go through (:cry:)...however, dead 360 + no school until the 15th + kid in day care untl 3:30, they should be done by the weekend.
On a side note, FS has tivs for almost another 200 Wii games, which I may or may not add in the next couple of days.
That said, feel free to give a call or two to your local EB and try and update some of the values for them, as that's where the bulk of us does our trading :razz:
If you can't do that, I wouldn't complain if you supported my advertisers :)

[neksus]

Hey guys, if you do the T3G1F can you take the 69.99 as store credit?

Not directly.
You can, however, put it towards UFC Undisputed, and then promptly return it utilizing the Gaming Guarantee, which they almost always have on at least 1 title.

Whatever you do, don't give out the flea market name / location...

the klepto guy will just take all of them and raid them and then not post anything for anyone...

if you somehow have some way (be it not illegal / stolen) to get games cheap....that's great for you :)....

and the fact you are 'considering' / willing to sell it to people on this forum sounds like a good deal...you should make a profit for the time spent hunting these deals....

i mean if you got dynasty warrior for $4 or whatever, i am sure you can sell it for $20 at least...(imo)....(I am willing to buy it....as an example).

Hey guys,

I have never traded in games at EB before, but from what i'm reading, it looks like the T3G1F is mostly available on preorders?

If so, does anyone know exactly how far ahead games are available for pre-order? Someone mentioned that FFXIII was possible... what about God of War 3, Uncharted 2, or Assassin's creed 2?

If so, i might have to run over to EB today and trade in a few games before they're worthless!

Uncharted 2 is good to go...I did it a few weeks back. If your worried that your trade in games may lose their value and you need to trade it in fast...just pre-order any game worth *$69.99* now and you can deal with the games you really want later...cuz you can always switch to another pre-order for the same value.

Dynasty Warriors 6 (360) - $18
Wario Master of Disguise (DS) - $10

[vacant]

Cheap Game update.

the rogers video near my place had a bunch more previously viewed than usual, and some sweet prices. Picked up Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga for xbox 360 at 14.99 (haven't seen it below 22 elsewhere) and Sonic Unleashed for ps3 at 21.99. 360 version of sonic was 34.99.

also noted dark sector for both consoles at 9.99, and fifa street 3 for 12.99. Bunch of other good deals as well though.

It's usually pretty dry for games and horrible prices so this was a nice change.

No it's not.
It's even advertised on their website as $37. I would definitely go back.
If you'll also notice, the non-GOTY and GOTY editions have the same SKU, so it's the same price.

tivs.ca lists Fable II as $36 @ EB Games as of May 4th, but sadly traded it towards inFamous today and got only $25. :(

[Haz]

Hey Haz have you ever been to vancouver flea market? they've got some decent deals there too. remember picking up mgs4 and gta4 for $35 each back in september(hot back then).

Their overall price is on the same ship as what you would find on craigslist but they do offer you 100% guarentee for 2 weeks.Haven't been there in years. My game collection in the past few years have been from either Rogers 2/40 (2/30 earlier on) and EBs T3G1F promos.

Sad days.
It looks like all the big titles are dropping. First the rock-solid COD4, now Fable 2...I would definitely trade in other 36+ titles soon if you've been holding off!

[natural_spring_water]

Just curious...

any of you guys trade games among each other...?

I don't post a lot, but the thing I hate about the T3G1F is they usually let you only trade for the new titles..(mostly)....and sometimes i rather just get something else but they dont allow it (usually older titles)....i mean like if someone has SF4 PS3 or COD WAW Wii..I would gladly trade 3 games to them for it...as an example...and you guys can use it to get new games or sell it or whatever...

or something along those lines...

the other day i wanted to trade for zelda...and they sell it for like 49.99 or whatever but they wouldn't let me do it obviously and i was like, you are actually making more money if you trade me that...but store policy etc etc....wouldn't it be smarter if they let you trade for anything???

[kamiru]

anyone know how much eb deduct if i trade in a game without box and instruction booklet?
thanks

do the T3G1F for a game that is coming out as soon as possible (or just came out if they let you)... then return that game sealed, get 69.99 in credit.. then use 49.99 on ur zelda game and have 20 credit left over for other stuff..

anyone know how much eb deduct if i trade in a game without box and instruction booklet?
thanks

i think it depends on the store maybe... but i know that you cannot do T3G1F without the case and manual together.....

but i have traded in games with just the disc only to my local EB and i always got whatever TIV is in the system...

yes, T3GIF is usually only for new releases (w/i 2 wks) or for upcoming pre-orders (selected titles)

what you're looking for is "T3GIF wknd", to which you can T3GIF for any title instore, but even then sometimes it only applies for "any future pre-order" only...

[kleptodathief]

nothing fancys me at ebg now...i think i got enuff credits to get a ps4 :cheesygri , maybe i'll do the runs when GOD of WAR 3 comes out, by that time im sure BBV is gonna fold up like a cheap suit!:twisted:

I don't know why they wouldn't take the game in without case/manual since they sell them for the same gorram price as the ones with cases.

sounds like a NFR copy... (?)

also, last few times i've traded games, they don't even scan the UPC (unlike BBV/EBG)... they look up titles by name on a web terminal, obtain some SKU + pg printout, and then go to the checkout terminals to proceed putting the TIV on a card

Makes sense for PSP since UMD is a dead format and Sony's been wanting to get rid of it, as well as the small download size of PSP games. Won't be happening for main console games anytime soon due to download size. Can you imagine if you had to download MGS4 from the PS3 store?

Dual layer BR discs can hold up to 50 gigs. Who knows how much of that games are actually using though.

Downloading one ~50 gig game would use your entire Rogers bandwidth allotment for most people... and I'm sure most of us buy more than one game a month. It already takes me a day to download demos sometimes, imagine how long it would take to download MSG or anything huge? haha, no way!

do the big button controllers have to be traded in with Scene It? I have both Scene Its and wanna trade in the first one, but it came with the big button controllers. The UPC is only on the big box itself, not the slim game case.

Hi wanted to trade 3 Wii games to get UFC: Undisputed for 360 for my friend to play for a week then get $69.99 in EB store-credit to eventually get The Conduit for the Wii for $59.99 and still have $10 credit left over. :razz:

I walk in and ask about trading 3, I just check Starwars: The Force Unleashed and it's $26 (nice), so I keep that. Then he checks RE 4 and it's $12, then Lego Starwars and it's $10 and then Lego Indiana Jones and it's $6. I actually let out a "NOOOOOO, ah maaaaan.". I said that I'll have to check if I can find another game and come back another time. >:( He says, just a sec and inspects the Lego Indy (all of them are in mint condition) and says "I'll cheat this for you.". I'm like "THANKS, so much!!!" :D I guess it helps that the other games weren't at $8 and the discs were mint.

Is T3G1F an ongoing deal or is it only on certain days/periods of the month?

tivs.ca is amazing. It came in handy when I was looking a trade-in to get X-Men Origins: Wolverine Unleashed (PS3) for $49.99 at EB Games.

It was sweeter too because I used my Blockbuster GC to buy Skate (360), they had a $9.99 price tag but it came up $19.99. :cheesygri

It's manually bumped up to the value, so I would assume it's up to the CSR. On a few occasions where I've chatted up the help I've gotten a low title bumped to $8 to qualify.

I walked around the store first and saw Lego Starwars and Lego Indy both on sale for $29.99, so I thought that they would both be the same TIV. Oh well, luckily there are some nice people out there. Also, I guess since I was going to walk away, he'd rather do the trade now than have me go find another game and go to a different EB.

I no longer work at EBG, but this is the policy: T3GIF is ongoing, everyday, anytime at all, but only for pre-orders. There are sometimes we have something called a "T3GIF Weekend", where one weekend every 1-3 months we'll do T3GIF for pre-orders and games released within 14 days.

tl;dr...

T3GIF for pre-orders = always
T3GIF for recent games = sometimes

yeah, i know the TIVs are manually bumped for T3GIF, but it's just that the CSRs (or even the MODs for that matter) technically aren't allowed to do that

The most wanted list is simply a list of what games are hot.
There are barely any games that still trade for $37. EB seems to be dropping most of their tivs, unfortunately.

for T3GIF for games released w/i the "past mth", sometimes it really depends on the CSR

i've also had a couple times for T3GIF wknds where the CSR would allow already-released titles to qualify for T3GIF if released w/i the past 1-1.5 mths

sorry if this is redundant (kinda dont wanna go through 435 pages) or a stupid question but i was wondering why some games have 2 prices and a random second date. i was trying to get the tiv of madden 09 for ps3 and came accross this :S

[neksus]

The columns have corresponding header information, which is actually quite useful :)
In your case, the first value is the trade-in-value at Future Shop, while the second is EB.

[Wick98]

I no longer work at EBG, but this is the policy: T3GIF is ongoing, everyday, anytime at all, but only for pre-orders. There are sometimes we have something called a "T3GIF Weekend", where one weekend every 1-3 months we'll do T3GIF for pre-orders and games released within 14 days.

tl;dr...

T3GIF for pre-orders = always
T3GIF for recent games = sometimes

Weird. The stores I deal with let me trade for recent release games most of the time. They've always made it seem like there's a list of available new releases, for t3g1f.

I wonder if they will have the same TIV's? :confused:

I wonder if they will have the same TIV's? :confused:

They might use the same company, so it could happen, but both are run completely independently by separate entities, so my bet would be no.

[greywolf501]

They don't run completely independently, they have the same prices on everything except for the flyer items in most cases so I'm guessing they will be the same TIVs with different promotions or sales each week

[kamiru]

fs tiv as of 5/12

resistance 1 $8.40

I traded in at EB yesterday:

Sorry, but this is just a random question:

Did the other competing TIV sites kinda just die off? =\
I know im a supporter of TIVS.ca but i dont see the other dudes posting around here anymore haha. :lol:

[zoro69]

The strategy is to appear to the customer to be separate...Its fairly obvious that isn't the case when you compare prices, phone each site 1-800 and get exactly the same person, look up who to send a complaint letter to and see its the same person, etc.

It would seem fairly obvious they would operate trade ins identically. One would advertise a trade in for new one deal on week, the other next, just like everything else in the flyer (eg recent $250 wii console sale)

its a branding thing, bestbuy Can is supposedly aimed to appeal to women more

Exactly. The webid on every item is the same too. Just look up a product on FS, grab the webid and then search the same id# on BB and you get the same product.

Example: both stores have the Wii for sale. ID# is 10094887 for both.

^not quite always the case

these days, even if they carry identical products, the reg. prices could be slightly diff.

if you're talkin' about 2-3 yrs back, then yes, i remember their MSRPs were pretty much all the same

yeah, it gets pretty obvious when you call the 1-800 CS line (for e.g. FS's CS) and then at the end of the phone conversation, the CSR says "TY for shopping at BB.ca"... =D

that's prbly 1 of the easier ways to tell, but they do still "try" to be distinctly diff. by selling diff. housebrands

sometimes you'd find that a certain brand product can be found on BB.ca, while searching w/ same webID at FS.ca reveals no results

1 e.g. i can think of is BB's "Duracell" USB drives. FS carries no such branded item

(note: Duracell isn't one of their housebrands obviously)

hot if the game is >10 at future shop but <8 at eb.

Doesn't Futureshop also have a trade 3 games with TIV > $10? It's good if you only have like 1 game to trade in and it has a high TIV like a Zelda to get like $52 in credit towards a new game.

woops. my bad. what i meant was their *reg. prices*


mistake fixed

[dtrader69]

its a branding thing, bestbuy Can is supposedly aimed to appeal to women more

quite a fascinating statement....
i think bestbuy is aiming for people that doesnt want to be bothered by commissioning vultures...which MAY also stereotypically beneficial to women shoppers as they are seen to know less about electronics...so they don't want workers to upsell to them (i.e. mechanics)...

i never thought of that....interesting stuff...

[zoro69]

Its more then the commission thing. The aisles are designed to be wider/easier to get around at bb vs FS, so one could take a stroller in. The music is usually blaring louder at FS.

Never traded in a game at FS before. With the current promo, ie a $37 tiv would be bumped up by $52?

Would the credit be used before or after taxes?

those dirty buggers better not drop the TIVs temporarily so they can be bumped up on the promo and safely make a profit. that's right up their alley lol

yes, bumped to $52 TIV, but you can only use that credit towards selected new releases/pre-orders

it would be a hot promo if it was just a $15 TIV-bump


EDIT: note that as per flyer, it says min. $10 TIV restriction applies

Would the credit be used before or after taxes?

FS/BBV's TIV system is not like EBG's... their TIVs don't "include taxes"

so for a $70 game, the credit is applied towards the $70 + tax price, and you pay the diff.

[vacant]

Should be UFC, and the new Wii exercise game. I dont know the title, the one with the woman doing some cardio work

UFC, Wolverine, Wii Punch out, and EA Active.

Almost worth it for EA Active maybe... the others don't even peak my interest. Was hoping for Sacred 2.

What happens at EB games? When I traded in some games a few months ago all I had to pay was difference of trade ins and $69 as clerk told me something about tax when trading in but I never listened... but just the other day when pre-ordering Infamous I traded in three games and had to pay to make the difference between what I traded and total came to $73 or whatever it was with the tax included ($69 + tax). So I'm a little confused.

TIV's at EB Games include tax. So they apply the credit to the pre-tax amount.

If the game is $69.99 or less then you should get the game absolutely free from 3 games all over $8 TIV. If your games aren't all $8+ TIV then I think that's what might've happened to you.

if you were intending to do T3GIF, each of your games traded in must have $8+ in TIV. if so, you get the game free w/o having to pay anything;

otherwise, you have to pay the diff. (if 1 or 2 games have $8+ TIV, each of these games gets bumped to $23.33 in TIV)

Doesn't look like it works for any games with min tiv of $10. Only works for recent games that FS is taking for $40 (so you basically get $55 TIV).

Also, looks like the only games you can get from this deal are UFC, Wolverine, Punch Out, and some Wii workout game.

i have a qeustion, i preordered UFC undisputed from EB and i'm looking forward to picking it up tomorow. What if mid week i find it cheaper elsewhere (craigslist, kijiji, futureshop) and i decide to use the gaming guarantee, will I get cash back if I paid in cash? or is it only credit?

If you still have the receipt, just return it sealed and get back what you paid. If you did T3, though, it'll still be just credit.

gaming guarantee = pre-tax amount on an edge card.

Does EB take games in blockbuster cases? lol i'm assuming u bought games from bbv cause i've seen those three there for cheap. someone answer asap cause i'm gonna try t3g1f after buying some games tomorow morning.

Going to trade in SFIV to futureshop, get $55. Pretty good deal in my book.

Yes, they will take the game even if it's in a BBV case

[ngaiden]

Yes, they will take the game even if it's in a BBV case

I think it's more YMMV. Most Eb's i've been to require original case and manual.

[tungx2]

If you still have the receipt, just return it sealed and get back what you paid. If you did T3, though, it'll still be just credit.

wait wait... I thought the gaming guarantee enables u to play the game for 7 days and return it for full credit "unsealed"??

or am i just talking jiberish...?

yes you are right. he was replying to someone asking if he can return it sealed if he finds it cheaper somewhere. the person you quoted was saying yes for money if you paid for it but credit only if you did a T3.

phew... thanks for the tip.

i was just interested in the store credit, as my old games are going down in value anyways.

I would like to try UFC still though, hoping that i'll like it, but i doubt it :)

[kleptodathief]

did anyone preorder punchout for the wii? its quite a workout playing that game! how long do we have to pick up a preorder? i just want credit for that ufc game lolz

EB:

Socom Confrontation $7
LSL: Box Office Bust $15
Killzone 2 $37
Ninja Gaiden Sigma $7
Godfather II - $35

[Someguyatwork]

..somebody actually bought LSL? :confused:

That didn't take long :|

It's an easy plat and as usual, it's not nearly as bad as some reviewers suggest. To each his own.

[grappos13]

I think it's more YMMV. Most Eb's i've been to require original case and manual.

for my local EB's, they only make me have original case and manual for T3G1F deals.. sometimes even without manuals it works... straight trades ins, i can just trade in Disc only and get full TIV

..somebody actually bought LSL? :confused:

i wanted to get it for an easy platinum as well... havent seen how much it is and what stores carry it tho

did anyone preorder punchout for the wii? its quite a workout playing that game! how long do we have to pick up a preorder? i just want credit for that ufc game lolz

to really enjoy the punchout wii game, its best to just play it on ur controller instead of the motion way...atleast thats what all the reviews say

Jagmit, just ask Blockbuster if they have XBOX 360 cases. I did when I picked up Skate. Also make sure to ask Blockbuster if they will take the game back if EB Games doesn't accept it. It was the manager who cashed me out, so she made a note on my account that I can't return it.

[rudyjuly2]

I didn't realize the extra credit (10%, 20%, etc.) was only for certain games at EB Games. Oh well.

I just traded 4 games in towards a pre-order and got more than I thought (EB Games Windsor).

NBA Live 09 PS3 - $15
New Super Mario Bros. DS - $25
Mario Kart DS - $25 (this was more than reported I believe on tivs.ca)
Meteos DS - $10

Tivs.ca is great!

[bloodrush1989]

Is it true that socom has dipped down to $7?

Did you know? A DS game works fine after going through a washer and dryer.

my parents own a laundry mat and found a new super mario brothers ds in one ofthe dryers. they brought it home to me and it worked perfectly. free $25 eb credit!!!! (have it on r4)

[Yankees 1903]

God of War - Chains of Olympus (PSP) has dropped to $7 at EB (May 19th). I'm guessing the new $19.99 greatest hits price sliced the value by half.

you're kind of bringing together 2 unrelated topics into a q?

for the GG, last i checked, you always get store credit only
if you find it cheaper elsewhere, and you want a PP, well... that depends. sometimes HO does a price drop automatically in response to a lower competitive price. but other times if that doesn't happen, it might be a bit more difficult to obtain a PP b/c you'd have to bring along proof, etc. ... (not to mention the EBG CSRs have to know this is do-able)

if the former case does happen (HO price drop), then you can simply go instore w/i 30 days along w/ your pre-order receipt, and they'll credit you the diff. you paid

Why would this not be true? I just reported it, do you think I make up TIV's?

It came in this morning at $7, cashier even remarked that it went down.

Futureshop PS3 tiv as of May 19 (no change from tivs.ca)

Yes you can. I traded in 3 ds games to get a preorder of a ps3 game, InFamous, which comes out next week! Can't wait..:cheesygri

[rapsfan12]

i checked the tiv of call of duty 3 on the ps3 (on tivs.ca) and it's $10 as of the 15th...i'm a little surprised it's still this high, so do you figure it'll stay above the $8 threshold a little while longer? i was going to trade one of my <$8 games for it, but it's on another forum and it's US-based, so it'll take a week or so for it to come in...

It's speculation but if I recall the last few years the TIV drops down usually right after the finals or the awards a few weeks after and then drops further after 2010 will come out.

In other words, if you are done with hockey for the year, trade it in or risk being burned.

Wow get a clue, I was clearly referring to TIV in GENERAL. Historically YES, the TIV goes down after the finals AND after the next year is released.

You are right, fail on you. Sheesh.

No more TIV's posted from me. What a grump.

[Jagmit]

i was just wondering whether BBV gamerpasses are linked to different stores. Cause i have a coupon for a gamerpass and used it at a store quite far away near work but I now want to use it at a closer one. Is there any way they can see at the other stor that i've already used the coupon?

At no point did you provide any facts (and I'm not referring to when FS started the program, since, again, it had nothing to do with my original post) merely speculation on your own part as we all did, why your referenced your own quote when I already pointed out several times I was not referring to FS employees is just digging your own hole even further.

It has, slightly. But yeah, the game had a high TIV which surprised me. Anyway, I'm glad I'm one of the few people that actually enjoy the game. I stuck with it and it turned out to be better than I expected given that it's been bashed (and unfairly at that).

depends on where you're trading your games.
if at EBG, the prev. posters answered your q?'s

if at BBV, it works the same, except your TIC obtained doesn't "include taxes"
FS is similar as well, but as of recent there were some odd cases of RFDers claiming that the TIV included taxes, just like EBG... (weird)

I bought this game for $30 at Blockbuster a year ago, so I'd say it's worth-it. Owners of Corruption who are interested in getting the Wii-releases of the Gamecube Metroid games should consider trading-in Corruption now before its TIV drops lower, because the Wii versions of Prime and Echoes will only be released in a compilation disk with Corruption:

Assassin's Creed
Star Trek: Legacy (horrible, horrible game)
Ninja Gaiden 2

pre-ordered Bioshock 2, release date is Sept 30, month earlier than Modern Warfare 2, and a day 1 purchase anyways.

Turned to the PS2 section.. bought buzz! junior jungle bundle w/ 4 buzzers (24.99) and hollywood (14.99) pricematch it with BB for 9.99 each.. and I was expecting 8.49 for the bundle and 9.49 for the hollywood.. but the cashier's math SUCKED.. so instead of paying those 2 pricematched prices.. i paid 6.37 for hollywood and 5.21 on the bundle.. I didnt complain LOL

Street Figther IV: $40

These haven't changed but if you would like to update the date you can.

[mahjongmaniac]

edit: and best part of the trade @ EB, 15-20 $10 off coupons for Fusion razors. Just have to use them before June 30.

wow... they still have those around?
thought they were long gone, as they were giving those away since Feb./Mar. ...

also, i thought you had to make a new/used game purchase to get one, and not trade games... (at least that was the case last time i got one)

[wing00]

TIV @ FS today for PS3 games

Hi guys,

first tivs update

$15 we ski

second,

anybody sell games on here...wii / ps3 / gamecube / xbox360. I understand there's always risk when you buy stuff on this forum (just WAY too many fraudster, scammers, etc.)

I am looking to buy some...recently got scammed by one of these guys on BST. are there any 'legit' sellers here?

[Wick98]

I think people mainly use BST. Sorry to hear you were scammed. I was scammed for $100 on Craigslist.

I'm currently trying to sell X-Men Origins Wolverine for the 360, using that forum.

[ChopSuey]

I am looking to buy some...recently got scammed by one of these guys on BST. are there any 'legit' sellers here?

I hope you reported it to an admin. I'm sorry you got scammed and I hope the scammer gets what he truly deserves.

[pete]

TIVs at EB today May 24th (most just to update the dates):

Bomberland: $9

On another note, the Wii is now only $259 rather than $279 at EB.

[Lint1976]

Traded @ FS (all 360)

Fallout 3 for $40



Still $40 today at FutureShop. Thought I'd unloaded it now too and get the GOTY later... also got the coupon for the $15 off Wolverine, UFC, ect.

[grappos13]

anyone think i should do this as well? i have my fallout 3 sealed.. dont think i will play it till the fall anyway, should i do the FS trade in and get the $15 off UFC as well? or should i keep this because the GOTY edition may be like 89.99

[the_fm]

even if the GOTY is $90 (which i doubt), the game is already $70 itself and each DLC is $10 (5 DLC on the GOTY version) so, you better get UFC now and when the GOTY comes, you could do a trade 3 for it ;)

i'm going to do it for Wolverine tomorrow

[Bencherstyle]

the gameof the year Edition has been announced at 59.99 USD. which means it will be around 69.99...... unless canadian retailers think there's money to be had....

[Sephora]

Yeah, the announcement stated: A Fallout 3 Game of the Year edition will be available in October. It will include the original game plus all five add-ons for $59.99 for Xbox 360 and PS3, and $49.99 for PC.

And at ~$10 per DLC, that's $50 in DLC alone. I wasn't going to touch Fallout 3 for a while anyways, so still being able to get $40 TIV is great. And the receipt has the coupon for the $15 towards UFC if you want it.

[kleptodathief]

not sure bout the individual TIV of each game but i was in line when i seen a guy trade in 3 ps3 games: fallout3,COD4:mwf, LBP all 3 = 104$ TIV today

prolly 27,37,37 same as on tivs.ca currently edit: chitty math haha

Either LBP or COD4 must be $40 then.

[Corizzle]

Blockbuster on May 19

Dark Sector (360) - $3
SSX Blur (Wii) - $2

Good thing TIVs gave me the tip that EB gives a much better TIV for SSX :)

[grappos13]

Either LBP or COD4 must be $40 then.

u mean fallout 3 was $40, COD4 was $37 and LBP was $27...

anyone know if the $15 off receipt will work after a pricematch with a store that may have UFC for like 59.99?

i remember when FS first started trade in's they had those deals to get like 50% off LBP if u traded in 3 games (and u kept the credit) and i was able to do a PM for LBP, and get 50% off the PM total...same for resistance 2...

[twitchyzero]

anyone know if the $15 off receipt will work after a pricematch with a store that may have UFC for like 59.99?



where they selling that game for $60?

[kleptodathief]

^ i got UFC ps3 for 60bux if u want it!

btw how do i get those 2 dload codes for the new boxers? is it INSIDE the game box?

[grappos13]

where they selling that game for $60?

no idea yet.. i was doing a hypothetical question....was then going to see if anywhere was selling for $60...

damn, i just realized that tiger woods 10 is coming out in like 2 weeks, and i still have a sealed 09... i wont be able to get a good TIV anywhere for it now

[mahjongmaniac]

the gameof the year Edition has been announced at 59.99 USD. which means it will be around 69.99...... unless canadian retailers think there's money to be had....

well, if the CAD gets stronger again, perhaps we'll see the $60 pricing in Canada

i wonder what happened to those promos... for the past couple mths or so FS has only offered "$40 TIC for select games"...

[kleptodathief]

Protip: never keep sealed sports games if you're not going to play them Day 1, unless you're a collector. ;)

Tiger Woods 10 for Wii with MotionPlus is going to be sweet.

ya.. after i missed the return date, tried to sell on here, didnt get any offers... shoulda traded it in around xmas but i htought i woulda played it lol... coulda got a decent tiv then.. not now tho lol

[kleptodathief]

big brain academy wii ( that turd free game from FS wii 234$ deal) is 15 tiv
SF4 ps3 tiv at BBV is a pathethic 20bux , i can't belive someone wud trade it in

course i traded it in towards trans2! play it a week, return it! :cheesygri

FYI , SF4 for both consoles is 49.99 used at BBV(with said coupon its 43.37$ final taxed used price), i seen TWO copies of the xbox360 version but NO ps3 versions :(

[Captain Snazzypants]

Protip: never keep sealed sports games if you're not going to play them Day 1, unless you're a collector. ;)

Tiger Woods 10 for Wii with MotionPlus is going to be sweet.

Usually true, but EA Sports games can be an odd exception. Tiger07 was miles better than Tiger08 and it held its value longer (still higher IIRC). Tiger09 is quite good and could end up being better (and more valuable) than Tiger10 in the long run.

I ain't buying another one of them until they include a course editor (which will be never...)

P.S. Tiger... :twisted:

[Someguyatwork]

Anyone have any problems trading in Fallout CE, just the game? I went to FS today to trade it in and the lady said the UPC was different and she wasn't taking it. I asked why and she said "because". :evil:

Incredibly unprofessional, anyone in the Mississauga area have this problem or did I just get a rude CSR? She didn't scan it in, just typed in Fallout and it looks like the BL version only came up. I pointed it out to her and she nodded but refused to give me an explanation.

FS:

RE5 - 40
Godfather II - 37

[Sephora]

Sounds like you just got a crappy CSR.

When I traded mine in, the CSR actually scanned a list of games, and jotted down the corresponding ID# on paper. Then punched in that number to get the discount in the system.

I don't see why a CSR with an ounce of gaming knowledge wouldn't use the same ID for either edition of Fallout.

That's what I figured, she was one of those types of people you knew no matter what you said it wasn't going to work. I'll bring it back later today and bring it directly to the CSR desk like I should have in the first place.

I should have gone right to the desk in front of her, bleh. Remind me to punch her in the nose when I go back. Or just give a dirty look. :P

Just wondering, which EB did you go to in Mississauga? I like to avoid these EB locations..

[Someguyatwork]

Just wondering, which EB did you go to in Mississauga? I like to avoid these EB locations..

It was Futureshop up on Mavis near the Best Buy. I just went for the store credit since I plan on buying a decent TV later this year. This isn't the first time I've had issues with this location.

If you are looking for a good EB go with the Square One location. Decent and nice staff and none of those "I'm better then you and FF7 is the rarest game of all time" type of attitudes.

[urs74]

Has anyone ever had problems trading in a US version of a game to FS? apparently I have a US version of Fallout 3 I was trying to trade in. The guy there wouldn't take it cuz it wasn't in their system since the UPC code didn't match. I looked the UPC up on the net and it looks like one from the states.

Got some TIVs today from EB

NHL09 360 and PS3 are $18
Prince of Persia DS is $12.50
X-Men Origins Wolverine PS3 is $37

[TheHemming]

So on May 21st i traded in RE5 for 360 to my futureshop, and on the bottom of the trade in reciept there is a note:

This game qualifies for an EXTRA $15 trade against the following games:

Xmen Origins: wolverine
Wii EA Sorts Active
UFC Undisputed 2009
Wii Punch OUt
The Sims 3

So that worked out to $55 for trade in ... with a price match to Amazon.ca at the time I paid like $9.40 net for Wii Punch Out trading in RE5.

Cashier INstructions:
press f12
enter sku 10124791
auto discount applies for $15 bucks
void coupon portion of reciept.

Offer valid May 15 to June 11th.

Limit one coupon per customer yadda yadda

So come on an Extra $15 bucks depending on what you trade in VS what you get. pretty good.

[Bencherstyle]

woah, you can pricematch Amazon?

news to me.

[Eclipse09]

woah, you can pricematch Amazon?

news to me.

Yea, They are actually probably the easiest to PM. As long as the website says they have stock. As far as I know there is no extra charge on Free Shipping items. When i tried a price match long ago. the CSR said to me that he had to charge me S/H. But the item qualified for Free Shipping so he said no extra charge.

[whadda_dealio]

EB TIV's for May 26 :

Ninja Gaiden 2 (XBOX360) = 12$

[Wick98]

I'm hoping to pick up a copy of inFAMOUS tomorrow, but I don't feel like spending $80 on it. I've been checking the web for some cheap $8+ tiv games, but I'm having a hard time finding any apart from Conflict Denied Ops 360, which is apparently only $10.00 at HMV, but who knows if that still has a decent tiv.

Has anyone been lucky enough to find any cheap games on-sale lately, with $8+ tivs? If so, where/what?

Thanks in advance

Wow that's pretty lazy... if the UPC doesn't register the CSR should do a manual search for the game.

Otherwise, you could print out a bilingual boxart and use that.

yeah pretty pathetic.. if you trade in Scene it For xbox, there isn't even a upc code on the case, they look it up for you.

[mahjongmaniac]

That's what I figured, she was one of those types of people you knew no matter what you said it wasn't going to work. I'll bring it back later today and bring it directly to the CSR desk like I should have in the first place.

i'm not sure that'd work... the "game trading station" is at the entertainment dept. and that's supposedly where all game trade-ins are processed
i'd suspect that the CSRs at the CS desk would just direct you to the entertainment dept.

for your situation, you'd just have to come at a diff. time and hopefully get a diff. CSR
that, or perhaps just go to a diff. FS location altogether

[Eclipse09]

Got some more TIVs today from EBGames

DS
Sims 2 castaway -6
Kirby Suoerstar Ultra -11
Harvest Moon DS Cute -8
AniMates - 3

Oh the dude looked it up but the 4 upcs that came up in the system didn't match mine, so it looks like I'll do your idea of printing a bilingual cover out.

[vacant]

Sim City Creator - Either 6 or 12 they said


how can it be either 6 or 12? you dont remember?

hopefully you get to choose :P

[Someguyatwork]

Oh the dude looked it up but the 4 upcs that came up in the system didn't match mine, so it looks like I'll do your idea of printing a bilingual cover out.

I'll probably do the same, I think it's stupid they can't just add the UPC themselves when they sell the "limited" edition themselves. I saw four copies right beside the girl and even pointed to them and said they had the same UPC code!

[Eclipse09]

how can it be either 6 or 12? you dont remember?

hopefully you get to choose :P

Haha, i would like to choose

no, they told me over the phone that it was either 6 or 12 because the same name comes up as those two values, so I would have to get the game in to scan it to know which one I've got

Anyways, here are some more TIVs from EB

DS
Home Rollerz - 4
Final Fantasy IV - 13
The Price is Right - 12.50

360
Warhammer: Battle March - 5
Brothers In Arms: Hells Highway - 7
Cabela's Dangerous Hunt 09 - 15
Kayne & Lynch - 10

[mahjongmaniac]

how can it be either 6 or 12? you dont remember?

reason behind that is b/c, as Eclipse09 stated, 2 values came up

unfortunately, b/c EBG's system has limited # of chars that can be inputed for game titles, more often than not you'd find that there are abbreviations/acronyms (look at your past receipts if you're wondering)

obviously a title search is not as direct/quick as a UPC scan for TIV look-up


this usually happens if the game has subsequent series
some titles i can think of off the top of my head are Tak series (PS2/XBOX/GCN), and Naruto series (e.g. Clash of Ninja Revolution)
these are just some e.g.'s of a similar situation that i've encountered where >1 value come up in the system, and the CSR is unable to discern which value is the "correct" one

[the_fm]

haha, i would like to choose

no, they told me over the phone that it was either 6 or 12 because the same name comes up as those two values, so i would have to get the game in to scan it to know which one i've got

[Winkle]

I'll probably do the same, I think it's stupid they can't just add the UPC themselves when they sell the "limited" edition themselves. I saw four copies right beside the girl and even pointed to them and said they had the same UPC code!

That sucks, I'll probably avoid FS trade-ins then. Last time I did trade-ins at EB, I traded in my copy of PS2 Rockband which came with the special edition and did not have a UPC code on the box so the guy just grabbed a regular retail version of PS2 Rockband and scanned that in instead.

[Eclipse09]

Yes, I just did the edit for my post

thanks for pointing it out

I traded in Street Fighter IV for $40 + $15 = $55 and GTA IV for $18 + $15 = $33 for Wii EA Active & Wii Punch Out + $49.xx after tax.

Unfortunately, they only took off $15 each before tax because the trade in credit goes on a GC.

But, not bad at all considering I bought Punch Out on the weekend, so I just returned this one and ended up getting $18 back and Wii EA Active for the 2 games.. thanks!

Thanks for the quick response. If I go to my local FS store later, how am I going to convince them to do this deal if they don't know what was I talking about? Do you have a link that I could print?

I plan to go to the 403/Dundas branch (Mississauga). Thanks again.

Well, the websites offer of the week shows Sims 3 now doesn't it? No signs of the UFC deal.

games with TIV over $10 qualify so yes to your question

weird... unlike last time around, the website (http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/dept.asp?logon=&langid=EN&catid=27603) no longer lists what the "select game" has to be in order to get the extra $15 TIC

last time for the UFC/X-Men/Punch-out/etc. new release games, website specified mostly high TIV games that "qualified" for the promo

[esal]

Well, the websites offer of the week shows Sims 3 now doesn't it? No signs of the UFC deal.

Oh sorry for my ignorance. I just thought I can just trade-in my games at FS that are above $10 TIV and get an extra $15 for each. I didn't know that I have to get a copy of UFC or My Sims to get on to this deal. My bad :(

[Spearmint701]

TIVS as of today, May 29th, at EB.

Killzone2-20

halo3-17
kingdom underfire-7

You got ripped off, there's no way Killzone 2 is 20 bucks, I traded it in today for 37.

[mahjongmaniac]

Yup, I was suprised when I scanned it. Even though the flyer says $37...

if the flyer (mthly pamphlet?) is valid for entire mth of May, i'd argue for the adjustment to get $37 TIV...

-------

has anyone got refused for trading in games with minor scratches at futureshop? it happen to me twice

for me, most of the time they only take a quick glance at it...
i've heard some being rejected if there's the "ring scratch", i.e. 360 discs

DS/PSP they don't even check (no need)

-----

i was at EB this weekend. Can someone explain to me why MARVEL Ultimate Alliance for the ps3 is $64.99 used? i couldn't believe it.

yeah... it's not news that EBG resells for a few 100% profit for some games... =P

[kleptodathief]

so i returned my copy of UFC ps3 game for 69.99 on edge card, i did NOT c any dload codes in the case... im guessing it got a gutted copy cuz i only open it just bfore i walked into the store , didn't even bother playing it

saving up for a ps4 or xbox 720 when it comes out :cheesygri

you're supposed to get it from gamestop or EB. The code isn't in the case.

BTW, does anybody want to gameshare a code? lol really want to play as Efrain.

If you bought the game from EB/Gamestop during the first few days of release there is a paper with the PSN code inside the game case to DL the 2 fighters. Once the initial copies were sold, that's it. I bought it from there on release date and the code was inside.

[lbartley]

Dumped Fallout 3 for PS3 at FS yesterday, still sitting at $40.

So I get to score a copy of Wolverine for a cool $15.

And re-buy the GOTY edition of Fallout in Oct.

Hey all!

Is there a FAQ somewhere on renting/buying cheap games in Canada? I am completely new to gaming, just got a PS3 and never had a console in recent times. I am mainly wondering these main questions:

What game rental services are available in Canada? So far I know of Rent Game Canada, Canflix and Game Access...

What places typically have the best sales on used games? Out of these: Rogers, Blockbuster, BB/FS, EB, Microplay, Gamerama.

What places have the best rental rates on games in Downtown Toronto? (that is, not a rental service but a storefront) Rogers, Blockbuster, Microplay?? Any independents?

Thanks for any advice/help you could offer.

FS/BB rarely has any good game sales (they've had "some", but most are crap... i guess the exception is the one sale that's upcoming on Fri.)

if you want new releases, RP is usually the best place to go when they have 2/$40 promos

EBG has good game sales every once in a while... perhaps not often, but seemingly more often (and better) than FS/BB

BBV... well, they only seem to have good sales if they need to compete w/ their major competitor, EBG ... :razz:
the last few times they've had a sale, it was more/less b/c EBG had a $10 sale for a bunch of games to which RFDers traded-in at BBV... so BBV felt like they needed to "retaliate" =D

[twitchyzero]

i know this topic has been beaten to death in this thread but

is EB's T3G1F always on?

When it's on, can you trade in duplicate titles?

it's always on and no, no duplicate titles unless it's on different platform

[Corizzle]

I was at BBV and I got $5 for a bunch of crap games I got quoted $2 for last month, maybe a minimum trade-in of $5 is on or is upcoming and already in the system?

$5 for each at BBV as of today:
NCAA Football 07
NCAA March Madness 07
Spider-Man: Friend or Foe
Transformers
Amped 3

Remebered that Transformers and Amped 3 were worth more at EB so...

EB as of today:
Amped 3 - $17
Transformers - $6

[thejaz]

The Last Remnent - $13 at EBG

[grappos13]

anyone else remember that guy's tiv site... www.ebtiv.com for ps3 games... seems like that guy's site got owned by neksus and tivs.ca as i just randomly checked it and it hasnt been updated in 2 months lol...talk about pwnage!

[Liko]

Unchanged Futureshop TIV's as of today:

Call of Duty World at War (PS3) - $40
Fallout 3 (Xbox 360) - $40

[Captain Snazzypants]

For those unaware, EB Games will have stock of $20 and $50 PSN pre-paid cards as of June 10th.

Now I can finally use up some of the credits I've stockpiled.

[kings5504]

TIVs from EB for today:

PSP:
- Buzz Master Quiz - $7
- Hot Shots Golf 2 - $4
- Resistance: Retribution - $3

360:
- Mirror's Edge - $7
- Karaoke Revolution: American Idol 2 - $8

[mahjongmaniac]

TIVs from EB for today:

PSP:
- Buzz Master Quiz - $7
- Hot Shots Golf 2 - $4
- Resistance: Retribution - $3

^wow... that's a pretty significant drop...

as per tivs.ca, this was $18 as of 05/11
must be b/c of the recent PSP deals lately....

[kings5504]

must be b/c of the recent PSP deals lately....

That, and I think it's just selling for $19.99 brand new at EB, so probably $15 used (although I was surprised to still get $7 for Mirror's Edge -- I actually expected to get $3 for that).

yeah I picked it up for $5 at the source, but its not really all that great. Making $2 off it would be quite nice.

[Sephora]

I wonder how quickly the TIV for Dead Space and Lost Odyssey will drop once the hoarders start flooding EB.

[grappos13]

i managed to pick up a used mirror's edge for like 14bux but i wanted the ps3 version...that ones 25bux i think

[Wick98]

I traded both in today because FS said I only needed a receipt to get my money back tomorrow.

I believe all three (Dead Space/Lost Odyssey 360 and Resistance Fall of Man PS3) had tivs of $15.

So... what you are saying is that I can't find the game that I wanted to play because people are buying the cheap games and trading them in for credit? What a novel and inoffensive idea.

[Captain Snazzypants]

Ridiculous that Sony took this long to have prepaid cards.

...in Canada. They've been available at BBV and Target etc. in the States for some time. You can use your credit card, or get a Money Mart pre-paid credit card too for buying stuff on PSN.

No biggie...

[Wick98]

So... what you are saying is that I can't find the game that I wanted to play because people are buying the cheap games and trading them in for credit? What a novel and inoffensive idea.

Not for credit. Cheap pre-orders. $34 is a lot better than $80, I'm sure you'd agree. Especially when it's nearly impossible to find work.

[kwijibo]

I'd imagine the TIV's will hold at EB over the weekend. Friday is too early to see the influx of trades and the people at head office responsible for TIVs don't work weekends.

[Scott Pilgrim]

Not for credit. Cheap pre-orders. $34 is a lot better than $80, I'm sure you'd agree. Especially when it's nearly impossible to find work.

My mistake. I'm not gonna say I haven't done this or thought about it this time around, but since I actually wanted Dead Space I'm pretty disappointed. As long as you don't buy more than one I guess. After that one needs to do some life reevaluation. What did you pre order?

unemployed and still purchasing video games?..

Priorities people.

"Food or Infamous?" "Who needs food when you can shoot lightning from your characters hands..."

I won't do this, however I must say situations like these make me tempted to email EB corporate, and tell them about what will happen. I would love to see mass hoarders BST postings appear, and actually see the game sold at a loss. Maybe that would curb some of these "entrepreneurs."

[Liko]

Can't trade in multiple copies of the same game from the same console for T3G1F. If you had the same game from a different console then it should work.

I worked at GM for a year during college and saved a bunch, but I'm trying to conserve it for an apartment for when/if I get a job in Toronto. So, I've become cheap.

I traded Dead Space, Lost Odyssey and Resistance for Prototype.

Staples had a deal on where you could buy one Greatest Hits PS3 title/get one free, but the only one that qualifies at EB was Resistance. I have the other ones so my only real option was to buy two of those to make it worthwhile, so I picked up another of each DS/LO at BB.

I'm done now though. I didn't want to be stuck with an extra game I already have.

BB Whitby had 5 DS/2 LO left
FS Oshawa had 6 DS left

[RonPaul]

What is going on with Prototype for the 360?

I want that!!!!

You happen to know the exact TIV of DS, LO ? (and maybe Bolt) Hoping it's over $8 anyways.. ;)

[Wick98]

You happen to know the exact TIV of DS, LO ? (and maybe Bolt) Hoping it's over $8 anyways.. ;)

At 1:30, both LO and DS had a $15 tiv. As did Resistance FOM. Someone mentioned that EB didn't accept DS/LO when they tried so you'd be best to call ahead.

[kleptodathief]

another tip is DO NOT remove that seal when u goto EBG..just ask them for a QUOTE on the TIV of the games! :idea: , i know i shud head to ebg tonite but im too lazy and got work soon :mad: , i think by friday the tivs mite b or already b dead

Someone in the $9.99 game thread just posted that they were denied trade in for DS and LO and that other ebgames were being notified not to accept them. In other words, you better go TODAY!

I myself just came back about one hour ago. I was given a TIV of $15 for these three:

not necessarily.

i'd be cautious of that, and i'm sure EBG HO has already thought about the possibility that ppl would keep the game and look fwd to that happening

i remember BB once had a $10 game sale too (only 1 game though), and the TIV was >$8... (sorry, can't recall what title was ATM, but it was a PSP game)
a few days later the TIV dropped to $7

i kept the game (to play) for some ~1/2 yr and f/ what i recall, the game never went back up above the $8 TIV border

[shezbot]

^ haha but i dont 'have' the game(s) yet...im just inquiring :idea:, i find its best to call either at opening or closing times to get the best chance of over the phone TIVs

I usually just go to the counter and ask a few titles. You don't need the games with you to ask. I usually just say that I'm inquiring out of curiosity to see if its worth bring in, but you don't even need to say that at all.

[balonis]

I once recall GH aerosmith was sold for 9.99 new, 4.99 used. Then about a month later the tiv went up to $12. luckily i wasn't able to sell the copies i hoarded as i ended up using them for t3g1f :D. then they started selling them at 9.99 again lol. gotta ride it like the stock market

Unfortunately the (female) clerk did a double take and said "What? You actually OWN that!?", but then did give me the TIV.

I don't know if she was surprised cause she thought it sucked and nobody bought it, or because (as its subtitle implies) it's about a hot samurai chick killing zombies while wearing a bikini hence making me some kinda perv.

For the record, for a button masher game I found it to be a whole lot of fun! Anything with zombies can't be all bad.

Was able to pick Def Jam and SSX up at BBV for $10 each. Also, if for any reason somebody has credit at EB that they want to transfer to BBV, Eat Lead only cost me $22.50 after edge discount, so you only lose about a buck trading it to BBV.

360 - Def Jam: Icon - $11

PS3 - Def Jam: Icon - $10

[grappos13]

might as well give something to the hoarders here..

poster above said nascar 09 is $11 TIV at EB... currently this sells for 19.99 at rogers and its part of the b1g1free for 19.99 and under used games... so u can get a $10 game that can be used for the t3g1f at eb... i dont have the time to do it, so i thought hoarders could get in on it..but its all dependent if u can get 2 copies or find something else u want/is 8+ tiv at EB

[Wick98]

How much does EB Games take off of the tiv if a game is mildly scratched? It's kind of in the middle between not very bad and very bad, in terms of scratches.

$3 i believe

[Wick98]

That's what I thought, thanks. They'd maybe take it as is, but I forgot to check if it had a manual included, so I guess it won't work for the T3G1F deal.

I had two $8+ games in my hands at Rogers (Ninja Reflex and Sega Rally.) I could've gotten both for $17.99, but they were in disgusting condition.

The trade-in values I posted yesterday are still the same.

360 - Def Jam Icon - $11

- Ninja Reflex - $8

I traded all three in for The Bigs 2.

Speaking of which, I have a question. I've been trading cheap games in for a few months now, but there's one thing I'm unsure about:

The T3 deal now works for $69.99 games. The Bigs 2 is currently listed at $59.99. If the Bigs' MSRP goes up to $69.99, will I have to pay the difference? Also, if I move the pre-order to a $69.99 game, I assume that I'd have to pay the $10 difference?

What I would do is put it on a $69.99 game and not pick it up. Before The Bigs comes out, go in, say you don't want the other game and want to transfer your pre-order to The Bigs. Best case, you get $10 credit. Worst case, you get the pre-order on The Bigs.

I also asked the TIV of a Wii System at EB and it's $170. In my opinion, a little low :mad:

Fyi, the following games no longer have a $8 tiv value at EB, didn't bother asking what the tiv's were since they didn't work. Unreal Tournament 3 (360), Kane & Lynch (360), Beijing 2008 (360).

The following games do have a trade in value over $8: Nancy Drew (Wii), Silent Hill Homecoming (360), Assassins Creed (PS3), Armored Core 4 (PS3), Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 (360), Bioshock (360), Skate (PS3), and Lego Indiana Jones (PS3). Preordered both Batman and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

If a game is entered into the inventory it automatically gets assigned a trade in value on the next update. I've got the console lists - there's generally 20-30 games with TIVs that aren't out yet. The best was Sacred 2 for $1.20. I would have definitely paid them the $15 or so they'd sell it for before release date :razz:

Yes, I'm sure that's why the general gamer buys a used copy of Twilight Princess and why EB keeps the TIV high.

Either that, or it's one of the most popular, most sought after and well-liked games on the Wii...

Just to correct...

The TP hack is better than the bannerbomb hack. The bannerbomb hack is very limited in how it can handle "homebrew".

Here are some key differences:
- Can't run dual-layer games (backed-up)
- Won't run games at their native DVD speeds (will run them at 3X)
- Does not support as lower-quality discs as well as TP Hack/Homebrew Channel

Kind of dodgy if you ask me.

[ECBomb]

Probably because Walmart had it for 35. May still have it as well. The moment something like that goes on sale now the tiv will drop to prevent people taking advantage of the system.

I don't think you understand the Wii Scene as good as you think you do...

The Bannerbomb is just a method of installing homebrew to your Wii. You don't need to use it to run DL games or anything else you mentioned. Once the Homebrew Channel is installed you are good to go. Again, you need to do some research. Please don't spout random crap you know nothing about.

Wow, that sucks. Is it just me or has the TIV for games at EB been dropping a lot lately?

[Vertigo]

agreed... the companies r getting smarter.. didnt EB make deadspace and some other 360 game below $8 because BB randomly put it on sale for 9.99

Lost Odyssey was the other game. And EB changed their trade-in value only after they received a slew of trade-ins on the first day of the sale. Their system is reactive, not proactive.

^ dont forget motorstorm and resistance 1 is laffable tivs now! soon ass creed and bioshock will below 8...HURRY and trade them asap!

[Migger]

I gotta finish Wolverine soon, it already dropped $3 already!

Wolverine is still $40 at Futureshop IIRC. Anyone have any issues w/ FS trade-ins?

issue at FS....painfully slow....and make sure your disc is scratchless...

a question for all you game traders

if i trade in 3 games at EB for a new release, can i go to another EB location and trade in the same 3 games for a another new release (if i have duplicate copies of the trade-in games)

i know they take down your contact info when you do a trade in, so im not sure if they record which games each person trades in...

issue at FS....painfully slow....and make sure your disc is scratchless...I've traded in game at FS before and it was quick. Plus, they took my games without even opening them up to check inside. I'm pretty sure at least one of the disc were scratched to hell.

just to help you out i finished doing my co-op at eb games a little while ago they dont mind how many copies you trade in they have no limit you just cant use duplicates towards the same game i actually did 2 sets of trade 3 on the same receipt using 2 assasins creed 2 enchanted arms and the other 2 were different you just have to split them up

That is pretty ridiculous, maybe they're expecting a lot of trade ins >__>

it wasn't at BB. $10 game sale was at FS ;)

well, the TIV was still $8+ on the 1st day of the FS sale, but EBG reacted pretty quickly and dropped all of 'em to $7 the next day

When games used to be $59.99 they still had $35 tivs.
