As I mentioned there are copies of Shadows of the Damned for 360 and PS3 at mine. Still too expensive now but at 70%, definitely worth while.

Are you where I am? I'LL FIGHT YOU TO THE DEATH FOR IT.

Is it confirmed 70% this week? Which day?

 

[RS4-]

All I want is a damn points card and maybe another year of Live.

I don't want any movies or games!

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Getting pretty pumped about BBV moving up to 70% at the end of the week. Still some pretty decent stock at the two St. John's areas.

I was at the Liberty Village BBV in Toronto today.. wow that was a sad sight.

 

[Discotheque]

End of week as in Friday or Sunday? I saw some copies of Alien Anthology on BluRay. 70 percent off is a steal

Same!

 

[Stumpokapow]

Is it confirmed 70% this week? Which day?

According to the BBV guy on RFD, everywhere goes 50% tomorrow if it isn't already, and should be 70% by the end of the week for locations that haven't closed by then.

I don't care if you get the game but those animu DVDs are mine.

 

[Hero of Legend]

EB had it on for Deal of the Day for $5 at one point.

$10 I think it was, it was around the holidays, unfortunately I didn't even know about it until it was too late, and I got sick and missed it when S&P2 was $5.

 

[The Elite]

Six points BBv in Toronto is still well stocked at 40%.

 

[Firestorm]

I don't even know where my closest still-open BBV is x.x But living in Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal is a death sentence for these things anyway.

 

[SentientStone]

I went to the Main and 49th BBV last week an 1.5 hours after the 40% off sale started and everything was already picked dry. There really wasn't any good deals for games or Blu-rays. I probably won't be going to another location since I don't really have any game I really want right now that is released and I doubt anything good is left in Vancouver locations.

 

[Zzoram]

I'm nervous. The Best Buy I pre-ordered at said they have a ton of pre-orders and they suspect they won't get shipped enough CEs to fill the order. I was told they would compensate me in some way if that's the case, or at the very least let me refund my purchase.

I'm assuming you're talking about Dark Souls; did you preorder during the 43.99 sale?
Did they say whether they are shipping the CEs based off of preorder order or just randomly?

 

[snorggy]

Just stopped by the closest BBV (edmonton oliver square) and their gaming section was picked dry... still a somewhat decent blu-ray selection though.

Do you know how the Main and 14th location is looking? I'm too lazy to walk the five minutes to get there. Story of Blockbuster's life.

I have not been to that location so I am not sure. I doubt there is anything good left, but if you are 5 minutes away you might as well take a little walk and bid the store its final farewell.

 

[Takuya]

According to the BBV guy on RFD, everywhere goes 50% tomorrow if it isn't already, and should be 70% by the end of the week for locations that haven't closed by then.

Apparently it's 50% max on Movies/Games and 70% on everything else (food).

 

[The Elite]

50% at the Parklawn location in Toronto and still VERY well stocked. They had Driver: San Francisco and Deux Ex. My friend picked up Deus Ex. I grabbed myself a Socom 4 new for $20.

 

[mrgone]

Why's everyone bitchin bout Purolator? I've always seen people champion them over UPS....no?

I don't have much against Purolator, but I'm annoyed at the potential of an undeliverable game because Future Shop decided to use Purolator to send it to my Canada Post PO box.

 

[nolookjones]

any bbv still open in calgary sw? checked mcleod tr and was closed last w/e

 

[Shalashaska161]

Went to my local BBV, and came out with Infamous 2, Killzone 3, Fallout: New Vegas and best of all, Dead Island for a grand total of $84. They didn't have Xbox Live cards though which is what I was really there for :lol. So still searching for a deal for those I guess.

 

[Giard]

Why do you need the game by Friday to get the gold skins?

Edit: Also, they did drop off some stupid bonus item.

Basically I live an hour away from where the game is being shipped. If you play the game during the first week of its release, you'll get the gold lancer and hammerburst skins. One of my friends will be going there Friday, so he could get the game and bring it to me by Sunday.

If the game doesn't arrive on Friday, it won't be arriving during the weekend either, which means I'll be missing the first week of release and the gold skins.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I have not been to that location so I am not sure. I doubt there is anything good left, but if you are 5 minutes away you might as well take a little walk and bid the store its final farewell.

Heard from RFD that Main and 12th was pretty dry, and that Kerrisdale had the best selection. But that was a few days ago.

 

[Dynedom]

Might swing by the Neyagawa/Dundas BBV in Oakville tomorrow and see how they are. Didn't get a chance today.

 

[Quick]

Hope the two BBVs near me still have stuff in stock by Friday. Pay day and I'm rushing the places.

 

[snorggy]

went to a different BBV and walked away with Motorstorm Apocalypse, 12 month Live and 2800 points all at 50% off.

If you don't see any MS cards at your store ask the person working.. the ones I got were being kept behind the counter.

“We want to get back on gamers’ radars with a promo that packs a punch,” said Randall Baker, Blockbuster’s Senior Buyer of Video Games. “Gears of War 3 is certainly one of the biggest games of the year, but players may want to take a breather from fighting alongside Delta Squad every now and then.

Walk in and buy the game at Blockbuster today to take advantage of this great entertainment offer. All of the major recent videogame and movie releases are also available for rental, so gamers can get in gear for gaming goodness and media overload.

For more info, please visit your local Blockbuster store.

hey guys i don't think this deal is happening in canada though

 

[BocoDragon]

What's so WTF?

Blockbuster CANADA was actually a different company and is now dead/dying... but Blockbuster America trudges on.

I guess that is a pretty crazy deal but in this post-Netflix/Gamefly world I'm not that impressed by unlimited rentals for a month...

 

[PalaceBrother]

Apparently it's 50% max on Movies/Games and 70% on everything else (food).

So the games won't go above 50%? Too bad-my local one has some decent games I'd get at 70% off.

Went to my local BBV, and came out with Infamous 2, Killzone 3, Fallout: New Vegas and best of all, Dead Island for a grand total of $84.

Good haul.

 

[Takuya]

Gonna checkout another local BBV tonight, I'm lucky enough to have 3 within a 10km radius.

 

[Onion_Relish]

Anyone been to bbv in surrey bc? Thinking about heqding up and finding resistance 3 for cheap if I can.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

So the word is most stores will by out by the 25th?

 

[WEGGLES]

Wish that BBV deal was in canada. Going into block buster to buy some clearance shit made it dawn on me

"Waiiiit... in a world where many AAA games are like 7ish hours long I could just rent them for $5 and be done with it rather than buying them"


Buuut BBV is dead. Ah well.

The one in fleetwood? Already went a couple days ago and nothing good. No resistance, already looked. I did get that copy of 3D dot game heroes that has been there for like 2 years though.

EDIT: er there was a copy of shadow of the damned when I was there for ps3. I don't know if it is still there though.

 

[narcosis219]

I got my Touchpad Shipped email from hp.ca today. SCAS 1422XX. Wewt.

 

[Entropia]

Hmm, I'm going to have some time to kill tomorrow night after work - hopefully I can find some decent deals/stock at BBV!

 

[BadWolf]

Just a slight update.

Not sure if you guys remember but you helped me nab a PS3 last month from Best Buy with a price error (it was $100 off instead of $50). Well... with that luck came a tiny bit of bad luck. Same day I ordered an HDMI cable from Monoprice and still haven't received it (just received an email today telling me I provided the wrong address, which I didn't). So over two weeks after that order I placed one with Amazon for another cable and received it today (took em 20 days to ship, it was from a 3rd party seller).

So yeah, to make it short, got to play the PS3 I received around August 16 just yesterday for the first time. Played 3.5 hours of MGS4 in one sitting hehe.

 

[Takuya]

Until Sept 29: PlayStation 3 160GB w/ Metal Gear Solid 4 is $219.99 ($30 off at Futureshop

Pretty good deal.

 

[Luigi87]

Finally a freaking Auth. on my credit card from Best Buy in regards to Starfox.

 

[isny]

Finally a freaking Auth. on my credit card from Best Buy in regards to Starfox.

I called them and asked them what's happening. The rep was clueless and said he'd send a ticket.

Pretty stupid considering the game came out on the 9th and it's now the 22nd. I'm probably going to ask for another $10 credit to make up for this.

At the very least, Kirby Mass Attack showed up today. I used a $10 Zelda 3DS cert, $5 preorder bonus, and $10 in FS GC's from Facebook. Total cost to me was about $5! =D

 

[Mike Works]

Just got this email today:

Pretty sweet considering it got shipped like 2 days after the date and I wouldn't have been able to play it before that time anyway.

I got the exact same thing for Zelda OOT. I better get it for Star Fox 64.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

So, any suggestions for cheap 360 points right now? I could wait for the next RCSS sale, but RE4HD and Gears3 Season Pass is calling me.

If you have any blockbusters near you go in and ask if they have any ms points behind the counter, I went to one last night and got 2800 points for 21.99.

Got any more? I could PayPal you for one.

 

[erpg]

All these Futureshop complaints make me really afraid about my E3 pre-orders. If I have to wait for Skyrim and Halo Anniversary...


...It'll probably be for the best because I'll be immensely busy around that time anyway.

I'm in the same boat. I'll likely end up waiting until xmas break to get some proper gaming in.

Just started school and already feel swamped.

 

[Magnus]

Is there a BBV still open in Toronto that's part of these crazy closing sales? Wouldn't mind trying my luck.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

Tried. They've all sent them back (not legally allowed to sell them or some other reason).

Yonge/Cummer.
King Street/Liberty.

Reach into GTA (Mississauga/Richmond Hill), and you get a few more.
