EB - Star Wars Unleashed Gaming Guarantee

[SomeGuyyyyyy]

EB Games - Star Wars Force Unleashed Gaming Guarantee

The usual return within a week after pre-ordering the game for full in store credit.

EBGAMES SITE (http://www.ebgames.ca/usedpromotions.asp)

[dbdudley]

Awesome.

I picked up a pre-order... plan on playing it for a week then returning it for credit towards Guitar Hero World Tour. :)

[i-o_o-i]

nice, got some eb credit lying around might as well put it towards this game even thought I'm not really interested in playing it :lol:

[mahjongmaniac]

well, you can look at it as a "free 1wk rental" ... :D not bad

[sweetvar26]

Exactly.

[jonkaho]

sweet, time to finally used my Edge cards!

[jjrooster]

I'm going to try a "trade 3" to pre-order the game on 360, play the hell out of it and then return it for Little Big Planet.

[hamdude_1234]

havent checked lately... is force unleashed multiplayer as well, or just singleplayer ?

[Maximus VI]

^ Pretty sure it's just single player, so realistically you could beat the game in a week and then return it.

[Sephora]

I was just going to ask about MP as well:

Too bad!

[Aznkid2000]

How much is this game when being sold??? 59.99 or 49.99?

also just wondering does BB have this sort of deal going on

[PrimeBane]

I believe you also get an exclusive Stormtrooper Commander with preorder from EB Games

[mahjongmaniac]

i'm assuming you meant BBV...

they've had T4GIF for a while, but AFAIK, they've never offered any "gaming guarantee" promos in the past

[jonkaho]

it probally going to be 59.99.

Yep, I can confirm that. Supplies are limited though, no guarantee that all preorders will get one.

[DreadDeals]

I know I asked this in the BBV Cheap Games thread but I wanted to know answers from more people. :lol:

Do you think EB Games will let me trade it in just right after I picked it up?

Because I really want the game for credit, I don't even have a 360...yet (probably early next year.) :cheesygri
I'm scared they'd want to ban my customer info on their database. :(

[NonStopInTheMix]

+1 OP

i got a bit to add..

hmm i got a cam pic of the actual flyer ad.
nothing that interesting in the fine print..

http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/7338/dsc00346ne9.jpg

-game must be picked up within one week of release date
-in store credit is trade credit valued at the pretax price of the game
-receipt from pickup transaction is needed
-all games traded in later than 1 week will be current TIV and not a full refund
-game returned must be in good condition with manual and case [ lol :D ]
-refurb charges may apply [ boo as usual :mad: ]
-Offer may be discontinued at any time.

[dbdudley]

Simple question: Is it a week from when you get it? Or a week from when you buy it?

yes but if you are afraid of getting ban. get the game, go home, open it up and bring it back the next day

I dont get it. You want to buy the game and then return it for store credit?
Why not just use your 50$ and just buy EbGames store credit?

[NonStopInTheMix]

Simple question: Is it a week from when you get it? Or a week from when you buy it?

Fine print says...

...when you trade Staw Wars in within one week of the products PICKUP DATE. Staw Wars must be picked up within one week of release date.

so i guess its 1 week from when you buy it. though you dont have that much delay time =(

[brucedlx]

I dont get it. You want to buy the game and then return it for store credit?
Why not just use your 50$ and just buy EbGames store credit?

the "scam" works as follows:

- buy 3 games at BBV worth 20-30$
- trade it in to EBG for something valued at 60$
- return that something and get 60$ ebgames credit for 20-30$.

And yes, if you're afraid of getting banned, just bring it in the next day, with some BS story to boot (i.e. I hate this game).

wow thats a lotta work to beat the system...

[NonStopInTheMix]

wow thats a lotta work to beat the system...

mm some just do it to grab games that arent pre-orderable or their time has passed already... im gonna try out the starwars game though im not that much of a fighting ish game kind. Will probably take advantage of this and grab the Final Fantasy IV DS preorder i missed =(

everyones out for some savings on the games they buy... no?

[Lone_Prodigy]

Sweet.

Everyone needs to play this game twice (light side and dark side) for the alternate endings.

"EXCLUSIVE CHEAT CODE INSIDE!"

erm.. theres a cheat code system in place? o.o

[sweetvar26]

There is a demo coming out this 21st on PSN. I assume it comes out on Live too.

[Ch28]

"EXCLUSIVE CHEAT CODE INSIDE!"

It's going to be awesome being invincible and slicing everybody to pieces!

[mahjongmaniac]

AFAIK, it's only valid on pre-orders

[jonkaho]

nice, can't wait to try this demo out!

thanks for the heads up!

[DreadDeals]

I dont get it. You want to buy the game and then return it for store credit?
Why not just use your 50$ and just buy EbGames store credit?

I didn't have cash on me. I used my old games to purchase it.
WarioWare Wii $21
Mario Strikers Wii $20
Metroid Prime Hunters $13
total: $54
but then I knew I could do the Star Wars Gaming Guarantee deal and get $6 more. :cheesygri

Yeah, it's $60 for PS3/360 versions.

as for the person who mentioned the BBV "scam"
no, I didn't buy BBV games... all are cleared.
the ones left all have a TIV inferior to $8

thanks for your advice, I'm new to EB Games deals...

[haites]

I'm usually one of the boo-birds denouncing this sort of thing, but it seems pretty handy this time around. I pre-ordered it based on hype, so I'll get a chance to see if it's any good. If not, I'll just use the credit towards Fallout 3 instead when it comes out.

[bringit2001]

For people who live in provinces with high tax who plan to return the game in a week's time for store credit. Wouldn't it just be a lot less hassle to just go out and rent the game for 7 days? You're getting store credit at the price you pay before tax, so you're losing money anyways?

they don't charge tax on credits so if you use credits, you get the game without tax

and i'm sure most here use the trade 3 get 1 free promo so you are actually getting back more than you spent

[brucedlx]

wow thats a lotta work to beat the system...

I didn't say it was efficient, but the dude before asked why someone might want to pre-order this game for the sole purpose of returning it, and that is the answer.

In B.C. the game would come to a total of $67.14, meaning $7.15 in taxes. I haven't rented a game in ages, but even a 2 day rental back in the day was $5-$6 plus taxes. I think it's edged up even higher recently. So, it's about even. Save for the possibility you like the game and keep it. In that case, you're ahead of the game.

When you use the edge card you don't pay tax on your purchase so it works out the same. I was wondering, is the Ps3 version $69.99? On the Eb site, it shows it as $69.99 and the 360 version as $59.99. I got two pre-orders today with the trade 3 promo and both say $59.99 on the receipt though.

[spiralspirit]

I ordered it on amazon .ca using the $10 coupon - came up to just about $60 after taxes.

[mdc3000]

I would be all over the buy it and trade it in a week later...but Rock Band 2 comes out 2 days before this one does, so no way in hell I'll be able to make time for it that first week out - will be too busy rocking out :)

[bringit2001]

Oh really, no tax? That's actually pretty awesome.

[mahjongmaniac]

yes, but those cheap games at BBV that have $8+ TIV at EBG are getting pretty hard to find these days.

during the initial firesale at BBV (actually, more like "backfire" sale against EBG :D ), a lot of games at $10-15 qualified.
now, it seems to me like only a handful still work.



it's too bad they no longer accept current-gen games (PS2/XBOX/GCN) for trade promos, cuz i could've used a few towards T3GIF.... =[

[jitterbugjohnny]

I noticed the gaming Guarantee is no longer listed on the website. I wonder if they got a heads up from some of the early reviews and canceled the offer.

[greywolf501]

http://www.ebgames.ca/graphics/pdf/starwarsunleashed_en.pdf

It's still listed on the website, they have done this deal with quite a few titles recently that were all sub-par games and they still honoured it; Haze and Alone in the Dark come to mind although Soul Calibur IV was a good choice.

[dbdudley]

I noticed the gaming Guarantee is no longer listed on the website. I wonder if they got a heads up from some of the early reviews and canceled the offer.

It's still advertised in stores.

Either way though, they couldn't just drop it - many people would have paid in full, I imagine.

[BinaryJay]

The demo sucked huge.

[_pOtEnZa_]

The demo sucked huge.

we werent playing the same demo :P

[mahjongmaniac]

The demo sucked huge.

that's ok... that's why they have their GG. we'll all get our $ back :D

[Captain Snazzypants]

I'm going to try a "trade 3" to pre-order the game on 360, play the hell out of it and then return it for Little Big Planet.

I take it you own both consoles? Any reason why you aren't going to get TFU on PS3? I've heard it kinda blows, but is it especially bad on PS3?

Good move on LBP - game of the century.

[Captain Snazzypants]

that's ok... that's why they have their GG. we'll all get our $ back :D

IIRC, the last few GG titles have been really horrible. Haze, Alone in the Dark, and now SWTFU (hmmmm, an unfortunate acronym but fitting perhaps).

It almost sends a red flag message to buyers that they might really not like this game. Have any great titles had this guarantee recently?

[TheGamer2400]

The demo was good. I already pre-ordered the game and plan on finishing it within a week, so I can get full credit back to get something else down the line.

Soul Calibur IV and I believe it's pretty well liked.

[CHINAdeals]

i called them. they are getting the game on tues. and they will have the guarantee

[kilogun]

I wonder if they got a heads up from some of the early reviews and canceled the offer.

Oh man, that's dissapointing to hear. I was really looking forward to this game. I guess KOTOR it isn't. Well, I can cross this one off my list or wait a year and pick it up in the bargain bin.

Cheers,
Kilo.

[tallguy84]

we werent playing the same demo :P

I must have been playing BinaryJay's demo.

I was bored before the demo even finished, repetitive moves, powers, combos, and enemies.

[jitterbugjohnny]

Thanks guys. I checked the flyers page (http://www.ebgames.ca/fsi.asp) and I noticed it was removed so I thought it may have been canceled. Good to know I still have the option of trading it back if I don't like it.

[belowzeros]

I take it you own both consoles? Any reason why you aren't going to get TFU on PS3? I've heard it kinda blows, but is it especially bad on PS3?


I have both myself. I usually only buy PS3 exclusives. Or when there is a really radically different game because of artwork or textures I'll get that version of the game instead.

I enjoy the achievement system that's all =/


Watch the gameplay movie on gamespot for a better impression of the game,
http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/starwars2007/video/6197364/star-wars-the-force-unleashed-gameplay-marathon?tag=;title;2

have my fingers crossed...definitely has some cool bits :)

[MoFuzz]

You'll find the deal is still advertised at:

http://www.ebgames.ca/usedpromotions.asp

I saved a copy of the pdf just in case they do pull it though. I'll be ready to whip it out (not like that! :lol: ) if my EB tries to pretend like it never existed.

Did a trade three for this and I wasn't going to keep my pre-order after the mediocre reviews and demo, but since they are doing this promo, I might as well beat it over a week and give it back I guess...

[Late Night Merchant]

The flyer's still online, but on a different page: http://www.ebgames.ca/usedpromotions.asp
So does this work with trade in 3? Can you do both at the same time?

[mahjongmaniac]

It almost sends a red flag message to buyers that they might really not like this game. Have any great titles had this guarantee recently?

as another mentioned SCIV was one of them.
if you wanna go further back, Haze (PS3) was too.

can't recall if anything further back had the same GG

yes, it's a valid T3GIF title

not sure what you meant by do both at same time

[Captain Snazzypants]

Soul Calibur IV and I believe it's pretty well liked.

Oh, I never noticed that one (and I had preordered it too!) So it's not all bad karma, then. The real honesty comes with the TIV placement and how quickly that drops.

[jlo mein]

Thanks for the heads up on this. I just played the demo and was unimpressed, but it's Star Wars so I still like the story. Hopefully my local EB will still let me preorder it tomorrow, and I hope the game can be finished in 6-8 hours of playtime.

[jjrooster]

I take it you own both consoles? Any reason why you aren't going to get TFU on PS3?

Achievements of course! I only play exclusives on my PS3 really, so hardly ever.

[appleb]

Will the PS3 version have trophy support?

[Aegis]

review is up on GT ... gametrailers gave it a 6.9 ..demo was dissappointing....full game is gonna be short ended too ... >.< tales of vesperia will satisfy my needs now :D

[SomeGuyyyyyy]

By the sounds of it, most people are going to pick it up, beat it in a few days, if it keeps their interest that long, and then return within 7 days.

review is up on GT ... gametrailers gave it a 6.9 ..demo was dissappointing....full game is gonna be short ended too ... >.< tales of vesperia will satisfy my needs now :D

[tallguy84]

I'll rent it, beat it twice (light and dark side) and be done with it.

$60 for 7 hours of gameplay isn't worth it in my books, I've gotten more gameplay out of the NHL 09 Demo.

[Rx-87]

Guess I'll stick to SPORE for the moment =)

And wait for this to drop in price =D

[Lone_Prodigy]

review is up on GT ... gametrailers gave it a 6.9 ..demo was dissappointing....full game is gonna be short ended too ... >.< tales of vesperia will satisfy my needs now :D

Waiting for a review of the Wii version... maybe the 5 extra levels and duel mode will add to the replay value.

I still plan on returning it, though, and buying it again once it drops in price.

[The drew]

Are we allowed to do the T3G1F and get the gaming Guarantee?

[boba_fett300]

Do you have to pay the full amount when pre-ordering? Or just $5(min)?
When trading the game back, do you get full refund with tax back?

[Dazog]

Do you have to pay the full amount when pre-ordering? Or just $5(min)?
When trading the game back, do you get full refund with tax back?

Can you pick up the phone and call eb?

[MoFuzz]

Do you have to pay the full amount when pre-ordering? Or just $5(min)?
When trading the game back, do you get full refund with tax back?

1.) Just $5 is all that's needed, or 3 games ($8+ TIV) if you are doing the trade deal.

2.) You get back exactly how and what you paid. If paying by cash, it will include tax. If you paid with trade credit or did the trade promo, they will credit you $59.99 tax free.

So basically, you get your money back no matter how you slice it. No more, no less.

[mahjongmaniac]

Are we allowed to do the T3G1F and get the gaming Guarantee?

yes. SW:TFU is one of the T3GIF titles.

they also had the GG/T3GIF for Haze and SCIV

[jshebib]

has anyone picked up their pre-order ?? did you get a Star Wars figurine with it ??

(3 hours later)

I picked up my 360 version, no figure.

I will pick up my ps3 version tomorrow and ask about the figures (again)

[supergenius]

has anyone picked up their pre-order ?? did you get a Star Wars figurine with it ??
I got the figure at the time I pre-ordered (month or so ago).

[CyniC-]

Picked it up just now at the downtown location Edmonton. No figurine. Although the guy in front of me got one.

[Moebiwankenobi]

picked mine up tonight, no figurine either :cry:

[superdave]

FYI, I saw this game in the Superstore (RCSS) flyer for $34.99 this week. Although the ad did say "from" so not sure if that is the PS or NDS pricing or what.

[the_fm]

no figurine for me either. picked up this morning >:(

[belowzeros]

gah i knew i missed out on something...none for me either

[kyoshiro]

neither, ohwell

[CyniC-]

well i'm not a star wars fan (yet?!) so I don't care for the figurine. Gonna return it within 1 week anyways.

but to uplift the mood a bit, from my past experience w/ Disgaea 3 disorder, I spent 2 weeks asking around for that custom soundtrack and I finally got it... so, don't give up if you care for the figurine!

[Riddick]

Waiting for a review of the Wii version... maybe the 5 extra levels and duel mode will add to the replay value.

I still plan on returning it, though, and buying it again once it drops in price.

My kids had been playing with the Wii version and I think the wireless controllers add alot to the game, especially for using the force. Duel mode is neat too. Only problem with the game is that it is too easy. It's like you are invincible. Even the kids got bored of just walking around and destroying everything and stopped playing after an hour.

I am starting to find the same thing with the 360 version. Rather than fighting, I am just walking away from guys and not dieing.... although they seem to follow me and shoot me in the back.

[xansmommy]

we pre-ordered several months ago and they called us last month to come and pick up the action figure.

laura

[JWL]

I'll rent it, beat it twice (light and dark side) and be done with it.

$60 for 7 hours of gameplay isn't worth it in my books, I've gotten more gameplay out of the NHL 09 Demo.

But we're not really paying $60 since we're getting full credit if we return it in a week. So although we will still have $60 on deposit with EB we've rented it for a week for free.

[belowzeros]

we pre-ordered several months ago and they called us last month to come and pick up the action figure.

laura


yea laura is right, usually the preorder items are handed out 3-4 weeks in advance of the actual release. If it slips closer to release EB screwed up the coordination of the event.

I didn't really want one but it would have been nice if they were any left on hand =p

[nufan]

FYI, I saw this game in the Superstore (RCSS) flyer for $34.99 this week. Although the ad did say "from" so not sure if that is the PS or NDS pricing or what.

just to state the obvious, the 360 version is of course $60 still. The $35 must have been the DS/PS2, i happened to be in SS yesterday

[surfmonster]

I have been reading a few reviews on this game and also saw a few spots on G4 Tech TV and this game is apparently not that great after all. It seems to have a lot of bugs/issues...can anyone comment on this if you have it? I am looking at the PS3 version if that matters.

Thanks

The game is very buggy but it's not the unplayable kind. The game's targetting system is like an afterthought and if they had put a sliver of time into it versus the time dumped into making the two new physics engines they could have really had something. It could have used more time to polish, there are some occasional blinking textures or even sometimes ripping. On the PS3 the texture problem is worse for some reason. The final epic scene is a real pain in the butt because of the targetting system.

The game is fairly easy but I guess some of the replay value comes in trying to find all the unlockables and the hidden items.

It's a sweet idea of a game with some really cool bits but you are distracted constantly by the mechanics of the game. Why they decided to use this archaic 16 bit control scheme is beyong me. Every thing you can do in the game is assigned to a different button push and you have to constantly be on your toes to remember exactly what push is what. It could have really been simplified down to one button push for any event because they are never stacked. And the combo system for finishing moves is ********. If you see it's prompt to execute it you are lucky, if you don't you get penalized force points for not doing it and you have to trigger it again lol

The camera is almost as bad as the targetting.

Everything else is fun tho and it's pretty. It's a renter or EB's 7 day gaming guarantee thingy.

It could have been so much more. I'm sad. I guess FU2 will be everything this one should have been heh.

I got my 360 version yesterday, and so far I'm having a lot of fun. I do die a lot, and it does get frustrating, but being able to grab an enemy shoot it with lightening and hurl it into another group of enemies is totally worth it :D

[vindollar]

i got mine for ps3 yesterday, pretty fun. lots of cut scenes. some how it reminds me of the lego starwars a couple years back tho

i'll definitely take advantage of this free for the week thing

make sure you take your time in the prologue there are some achivements that only occur there.

[booyahchild01]

Don't worry, already took care of those wookies ;)

[mustanglover76]

I don't plan on rushing and finishing this game just to return it in a week. I've been waiting for this game since last year and plan to savor every minute while playing it. I'm a fan of Star Wars and look forward to playing this. I picked up my copy last night but because of House premiere and having to watch Prison Break from the previous night, i haven't opened it yet. Tonight I will give it a go.

[RideGuy]

Sorry to hijack the thread.

Does anyone know if EB is accepting pre-orders yet for GHWT for the Wii?


Thanks,
Ride

[Captain Snazzypants]

Sorry to hijack the thread.

You could call your local EB in less time to find out, no? But then we'd miss the excitement of the thread-jack :twisted:

[RideGuy]

You could just keep quiet and let someone who knows replay, no? I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in GHWT.

[Lone_Prodigy]

Alright, let's turn this into an EB pre-orders thread. :rolleyes:

Minor annoyance, but the Wii instruction manual is black and white rather than colour.

[Sephora]

You could just keep quiet and let someone who knows replay, no? I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in GHWT.

Captain Snazzypant's advice of calling EB is actually quite valid; then you could find out, and report back to everyone who's interested.

You'd be doing a service to the board.

Got no figurine when I picked up my copy yesterday. Oh well, I hope to finish this game soon. Does anybody know how many hours it'll take to finish it?

[RideGuy]

Captain Snazzypant's advice of calling EB is actually quite valid; then you could find out, and report back to everyone who's interested.

You'd be doing a service to the board.
Heh, something about his post rubbed me the wrong way. I called.

EB Games IS excepting GHWT pre-orders for all console types.

Cool, thanks for the info. Now the question is, this or Rock Band 2?

This is an easy answer for Wii owners (well for me anyway). Only GHWT is confirmed to have DLC (Downloadable Content). Rock Band 2 is still unknown which makes me doubt they will have it.

[mahjongmaniac]

FYI, I saw this game in the Superstore (RCSS) flyer for $34.99 this week. Although the ad did say "from" so not sure if that is the PS or NDS pricing or what.

for "hot new release/hyped" games, RCSS seems to always advertise like ^that for multi-platform games (get more attention i guess)

$35 likely applies to DS. can't recall seeing PS3/360 new release games being that cheap on street date.

PSP/PS2 usually a bit more

[SomeGuyyyyyy]

Well, I've played about 3 hours and a bit of this game so far and have to say it is a lot of fun using the force powers. I totally agree with a lot of the criticism it is getting but at the end of the day, its a fun game that you should at least rent in my opinion. I don't think I'd pick it up at full price thou.

I take it all back. Having finished the game, this thing is so repetitive and full of bugs and bad camera angles. The game froze on me twice during the last battle. I'll be running this thing back to EB for my credit back :)

How long did it take you to finish it? I plan on putting a lot of time for it this weekend. I do agree though, it gets very repetitive, but that's expected for a game like this.

[belowzeros]

damn it's pretty tho. I've finished act1 i think based on my achievement I got. a game with such a good story and great art direction just makes you sad that the gameplay is nasty :) the story is by far better than the clone wars cartoon or the entire second trilogy lol

the movie and in game animation is quite good too...it does have it's finer points this game.

...could they possibly have any more combos? thank god there aren't any more buttons on the controller.

[CyniC-]

Returned mine today at lunch for 59.99 after playing for 1/2 hr. =)

[Vladimir]

I am about 1/2 way through the game. I am kinda enjoying it, not quite as fun as what I have hoped. There are quite a few bugs, but the biggest complaint for me is the targeting system. When you are fighting like 10-15 guys, you dont really want to also be taking on a huge fight with the targeting system also... specially when they get you in a stun combo. I was playing it on hard, but due to the targetting system I had to knock it down to medium.
I think it is worth playing so far, but I am definitely taking it back to EB on mon or tue and pickin up RB2

the game takes around 10h (with lots of dying) if you play on sith lord.

i finished the game clocking in about 12h. all i'm missing now is the holocrons before returning the game. i still have sith master to do but i'm sick of the game

Does anyone know if the 7 day guarantee starts from the day of release of the game (sept 16) or from the day you actually pick up the game (up to 7 days from the release date I believe).

I haven't had time to go down to my local EB to pick it up or even play it for that matter, but if I pick it up this Monday, I should be good until the following Monday no?

Things started out so well for me. On the tie fighter factory level I found 14/15 but couldn't find the 15th I was sad. I don't think I'm going back looking for them either the camera drives me nutty. :) The only one I have found them all so far on was the ISS level you breakout of...but that was only 5x so I'm a noob.

I'm getting mixed messages. The day I picked it up the dude told me I have 7 days from the day it was released. After reading this I phoned up the Brentwood Mall EB and now a different rep's telling me 7 days from the day of pick up.
Weird.

[jshebib]

I picked up my second copy tonight. asked the EB guy and he said the time started when the game was released -- so I just asked him if I could return it. he accepted it and I got the $60 credit. I will return my 360 copy on Sunday. Don't want to end up "stuck" with this game : )

i think it depends on store/staff... in the past, some say it's f/ 7 days of street date, others state f/ 7 days of p/u

thing is, if a customer p/u the game like 2-3 wks later (and promo is over), then i don't think your chances of applying the GG promo is too high....


EDIT: N/M, ... just looked at .pdf file and it says f/ date of p/u. so i guess you can argue w/ them if they say otherwise....

Man that was just too funny and it sounded like from an episode of Seinfeld

Jerry: I'd like to return this jacket for spite. I don't care for the salesman that sold it to me.
Bob: You can’t return an item based purely on spite.
Jerry: Well, so fine then ..then I don’t want it and then that’s why I’m returning it.
Bob: Well you already said spite so it's too late.

I can't believe that actually happens in real life. Like others have mentioned just bring the flyer with you. I brought it with me when I took mine back in case "they weren't aware of the promotion"

Other than Vancouver, you need an edge card to store credit. On the TMGM event last July, I was forced to spend my $49 on the spot (which was okay, since the only game I really was going to get was Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2.)

Always always bring a flyer or print out, they "don't have access" to the internet. My store told me 7 days from RELEASE and they specifically went out of their way to correct me. Just bring in the flyer/printout thou. I brought it back already just to avoid having to pull teeth with them.

[marximum]

Returned mine this afternoon. The clerk claimed no knowledge of the promo, saying I must have seen it on the American web site. I said no, it's on the .ca site and the other clerk said she heard something about it. Anyways, after explaining it to him I got $67.79 cash back.

Thats exactly what it is. You take the good (their promos that are pretty decent most of the time) with the bad (having to explain yourself for everything you would like to do and bring proof that you can do that.)

All in all, as long as you read carefully, print out things/keep flyers and double check your receipts, EB games is your friend. A high maintenance friend, but still your friend. You usually know what to expect.

I returned my FU to a different store actually. I have done it yesterday and numerous times before with other titles. Their receipts are centrally located so they just scan it and blammo np.

[Captain Snazzypants]

The only spoiler I've had so far is the game itself. Does anyone else think it's pretty lame? I hate games where you are bound by invisible walls. Sure, you can toss some wookies off a bridge or cliff, but you yourself are protected by those magic rails.

Ha, see I found in same cases I really could have used more invisible rails. At one stage I kept falling off a metal ledge to my death. Two or three times after stabbing a stormtrooper manning a cannon (i.e.: when you strike, you move forward a little bit, including right off ledges), another few times getting hit by really cheap rockets, and a couple of times just walking off a gap that I needed to jump. I much preferred a Ninja Gaiden style "rail system", where you can't walk yourself off an an area that will kill you... but you can always jump to your death if you really want to.

Story: 9/10

Audio: 9/10

Gameplay: 5/10 (there should have been some sort of lock toggle for force grab, as I found I was grabbing things that I didn't want to grab; the camera was also pretty bad in some spots; some of the boss battles... one in particular was tedious as hell, and not particularly fun)

Replay value: 3/10 (probably play through some of it again, with cheat codes to max everything out).

Overall disappointment factor: 7/10 This was one game I was really looking forward to, and although it was a mildly entertaining romp, it was an overall letdown.

[thechampion116]

decent game but not worth 59.99 good thing for the gaming guarantee. I can see tonnes of people returning the game.

It has a decent story but the game mechanics still need a lot work. 7/10 for me on this one. Enjoyable for one play through but not worth going through again.

[Captain Snazzypants]

The question now is: are there any other upcoming Gaming Guarantee titles announced I could swap this for, so as to keep the chain reaction going? (or in this case, the 'pain reaction' :()

[Moebiwankenobi]

well, it's just what i've been told a few times.

I was wondering did they make you pay the additional $10 even tho it was the promo weekend? I already had fallout preordered at a different store and didn't want to bother shifting it around. I didn't ask if I could get a straight swap so they threw it on a gift card.

[Jouvert]

I returned my copy today. Overall, I'd give the game 3 out of 5. It's at least worth a rental. My major dislike is the targeting in the game, or lack there of. Trying to pick up a specific object in a group using Force grip isn't the problem, it's when you have to use Force throw to fling said object at a moving target. More than 50% of the time the game would target the wrong enemy. Instead of targeting the closest enemy it would often target something off-screen. I got so frustrated I almost broke my controller on the Star Destroyer stage. I ran into the same problem when I had to use Force lightning and Force push. Also, the enemies in this game are really cheap, especially the bosses. I completed the Dark Side ending and didn't feel like replaying the last level to get the "good" ending, mainly because the last boss is super-cheap. If you can overlook these problems then you'll still have a good time, it's just that you probably won't want to replay the game.

[Lone_Prodigy]

Returned my copy today (Wii): I figure I can buy it again when the price drops, or find my copy used and get it for $44.99 - 10% (Edge). The clerk was already sticking a used label on it.

[the_fm]

I completed the Dark Side ending and didn't feel like replaying the last level to get the "good" ending, mainly because the last boss is super-cheap.

you should. the boss is sooo much easier

[MoFuzz]

So, I just picked up the 360 version today, and the staff there insisted that the game guarantee promo runs from the release date of the game. I tried to argue that it's in their own fine print stating 7 days from pickup date, but they wouldn't budge. They kept saying tomorrow (Tuesday, the 23rd) is the last day I can trade back for full value. Which means I basically have to try to beat the game in a day, LOL

What can I do in this case? I don't think EB Games has any sort of customer helpline for service compaints/inquiries.

But it does say in their own damn flyer about 7 days from pickup date. I mean, come on!:mad:

Yeah they did. The store said that it didn't matter that I originally traded in for FU but if I was doing a trade 3 then they could bump up the value to $69.99. That's ok, I didn't feel like arguing over $10 anyway.

Vader was pretty tough round 2 wasn't he. Every boss has a gimmick in this game though and once you find it they're cake.

But it does say in their own damn flyer about 7 days from pickup date. I mean, come on!:mad:

They only hold pre-orders for 48 hours, so the longest this could ever be is 2 days after the first week is up. They don't have a leg to stand on if you have a receipt, but since they're being arses, just calmly say that you will need to speak to the manager about this...

...or not in case this is your only EB around you. Enter the love-hate relationship...

Bring your cell and call Customer Service there. I've called them a few times and got my way, which was the right way. I find even the Managers pull the I dunno card often but my guy always offers the CS hotline to me, which is usually the US one and then you get shuffled to the Canada branch. They make you work for it sometimes :)

refund if you pre-order it

If you pre-ordered, you get trade credit. If you return it sealed with receipt, you get a gift card.

Indeed they do, and if you call, you'll probably get your way.

be prepared to wait tho... esp. if you're working FT M-F ...

sometimes it's just difficult to get a hold of you or them

having to call back 'n forth multiple times is just a PITA at times

What happens? I wouldn't count on getting the gaming guarantee if you were planning on returning the wii copy.
