Holy shit, indeed. I might have to pop downtown today and do this, before they end up axing half the list by tomorrow.

Yeah. This changes my plans tonight. I'm going to focus on getting this shit done. Do they actually honour the DS games they have listed too?
That's crazy!

Quiet! Nobody say anything more about it! RFDers ruined it last week, so I'm hoping they don't screw it up again for us this week.
I think I'll wait until PSN comes back up and see if they're redeemable.

Yeah best buys isn't up for some reason. I'll be heading to FS tonight. Hopefully the people of rfd don't ruin this.

last time they updated list the day after right?
it just seems to me an error on FS's part.
im sure it'll update earlier today.
Oh man, the crazy list is back. Won't be able to take advantage of it this time because I'm at work. Managed to get rid of four games last week though, and I wouldn't want to go around to stores looking for cheap qualifiers anyway. As long as they add Assassin's Creed 3 Wii U to their trade list before Fire Emblem comes out, I'll be happy.

CC Expiry date, perhaps? If your card expires before the game's release, it won't let you.

So if I were to go tonight after work (7pm) will the list still be valid or are they pretty on top of these things. Maybe it's actually a legit list and they are trying to beat eb?

What's happening? What did I miss?

Trade 2 for $60 promo at Future Shop. Some qualifiers include: Black Ops, Silent Hill Downpour, Operation Raccoon City, SSX...
Futureshop has their massive list of qualifying 2 for $60 games up. A lot of really easy $10 titles up there, and even DS games. Best get your trade ins done today before they change it.

the FS trade 2 games for 60 dollar gift card has qualifiying games that you can get for 10~ dollars.
so 40 dollar profit i guess.... or getting rid of useless games for profit

Just to clarify, it's only one per person. I had about 14 games on that list and was going to grab a wii u, but I might pass now.

My wife and I will both trade in, so that $120 will pay for most of gaming in the next two months (Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter). I don't have the desire to pop around to multiple stores, with the chance of being shot down anyway.

As tempting as $420 is, I just can't bring myself to go to multiple stores.

I don't know. That would cover a good portion of a next gen system. A lot of what I'm doin now is next gen prep.
Pretty much. I have a couple hundred dollars in SDM points set aside for games and peripherals, and if I play my cards right with FutureShop, a PS4 funded.

Ah I'm so tempted. I get off work at 8pm so I'm screwed either way. Maybe I should just quit and do this full time.
Thanks for the GoW code!

Can you pay rent with FutureShop Gift Cards?
Has anyone here ordered from the Namco Bandai store before? I'm wondering when they ship to Canada do they use UPS or USPS? I bought the Ni No Kuni Wizard Edition yesterday and would like not to play the UPS customs robbery fee seeing I already paid $23.45 for shipping.

Lots of people sell giftcards for cash.

They charged you $24 for shipping? Is this the amount that appeared on your order confirmation? I'll be charged $4 for shipping according to my confirmation email, but I've been trying to look up my order on Club Namco to confirm but I keep getting errors.
Edit: Also regarding the customs brokerage fees that UPS charges: I've found that if you call up UPS' customs brokerage group and tell them you're going to self clear the package and directly pay the customs fees by filling out a form with your local CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency), they'll reduce the fee significantly so that they're still getting something. The last thing I was hit with customs fees on they dropped from $35 to $10.
I'm not really sure what games you guys are using for the trades, I don't really see much that I can grab for under 20. I know there's a bunch of games on the list that are $20 bin ones. I only get $15 bonus credit if I do that (taxes), don't know if I'd go around just to do that since last time they axed the list within 2 days. :/

Well UFC 3 and Assassins Creed 3 are on the list again but when I tried trading them last week the SKUs weren't exactly right and I didn't have time to argue, don't even think its worth it to try again and potentially waste 30-60 minutes
It's BS when Futureshop won't accept FS exclusive versions of games or "special editions" which were what all pre-orders were by default

Batman Arkham City is 15$ used at every EBGames.
Same for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
Same for Dark Souls.
30$+tx for a 60$ gift card.
I guess I'm gonna head out and take a look tonight, thanks!

Just reserved a few games online at Future Shop to flip there after work (I'll do two, fiance will do two). The great part is if they're pulled off the list before the end of the day I can just not go pick them up since they don't charge in advance.
Arkham City - Used $15
Lollipop Chainsaw - Used $15
Lego Harry Potter Vita $15
Spyhunter Vita $20
73.45 = 120.00
Arkham City - Used $15
Lollipop Chainsaw - Used $15

Just make sure the FS list is still the same before buying.
My confirmation email shows:
Subtotal: $99.99
Shipping: $23.45
Tax: $0.00
Total: $123.44
It was the only shipping method I could choose. Maybe because my address is in Newfoundland. When It's shipped I'll know the shipping number and if its with UPS. I'll try calling them about lowering the fee then. Thanks for the tip!

Is Lollipop Chainsaw back on that list? I used 2 of those last week, they can be found for 10-15$.
