Hmm, I'll have to swing by GameStop later today. Hopefully it won't be cleared out yet

 

[Sora_N]

After about 15 minutes, I was able to successfully PM Kirby and Warioware on Bestbuy.

 

[CloakedPuppet]

Yay got Kirby and S&P for 6 bucks

Great minds think alike. That's exactly what I ordered online - came to 15 dollars total with shipping!

[edit - if you were saying 6 dollars total, then I guess I didn't get quite as great a deal. ]

 

[Sora_N]

I'm heading to EB now, hope I can find Pilotwings and some other cheapos.

I price matched my games at Futureshop. They were $6.16 with tax in total I think.

Just got back from picking up Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles from EB for $2.25 with Tax. Really wanted Wario Land Shake it but it was gone before I got there

 

[DJ_Lae]

Got there ten minutes after opening, there was another guy there rummaging the shelves and I figured by the stack of games in his hand that he was nabbing 99 cent stuff. If he's also a gaffer, man, you looked to have a nice haul.

He also got the last copy of Kirby.

I picked up Battalion Wars 2, Mercury Meltdown, Force Unleashed, and the Force Unleashed collector's edition.

Girl working there said she had nabbed the Skyrim CE last night (don't blame her).

 

[WrenchNinja]

I have no real interest in many of those games but for a buck I should just go and peek anyway. I have no excuse not to - I'm maybe a five minute walk from the EB Games here.

I am the same way, but my laziness is getting the better of me.

 

[btkadams]

is the ebgame sale only in-store? i won't be able to visit one until tomorrow.

It's not, but pretty much everything is sold out online... except WarioWare DIY, which you should definitely order from BB or FS and get price matched.

 

[zroid]

Best Buy online sale coming up tonight. Seems to be a decent deal on the Slimmy Ridge PS3 -- $199 for this, which includes 1 month PS+, Medal of Honor Warfighter (lol), and God of War Saga... which also has another 1 month of PS+.

It's not shown yet, but I'm hoping they'll do the usual 10% off all games -- I want a discount on Pandora's Tower!

 

[Magnus]

Pilot wings 3DS, S&P2 and Kirby for like $10? Sweet haul.

Nabbed UC3 CE for $30 too. Figure I could sell the constituent parts for some cash and wind up with the game for like $10.

Thank you thread!!!

 

[Sora_N]

I picked up a used copy of Wario for DS if anyone needs it, but the second EB I went to had a crapload so it will be returned if no one needs it.

First EB:
Wii Anubis $1
Wii Batallion $1 sealed
Pilotwings used $2.99
2 random DS games for $1 each, bought for the cases for future gba purchases
Ps3 Socom $2
DS Golden Sun sealed $10 (may return, its not that cheap)

Second EB:
I saw a used Samurai Warriors 3 but passed becausee...
Found a new sealed copy of UC3 CE $30
Wii Let's Tap $2
Wii some random game $1 (forgot the name)

Some things I noticed, Brain Age 1 and 2 are $5 each used.
I saw Animal Crossing WW for 18 used, I passed because Id rather get the new one.
Also saw Tatsunoko with stick for 50 bucks.

I didn't see much else.

Can I ask which EB it was? I'm looking for another cheap Tatsunoko stick

 

[Sora_N]

It was the Gamestop in Vancouver (The Rise area)

Edit: noticed you're in toronto, just call all your stores. The price should be for all stores. If not, I can possibly get you one at cost, but may not be worth it to you after shipping though.

 

[Quadratic]

It's sometimes hard to secure deals in the GTA because of all the RFD guys here. Plus I saw the advert in the Metro on the way to work this morning.

Vancouver is not as bad but stocks at stores are low in general, there's usually enough RFD to buy most stuff. I'm surprised I found UC3, they had at least 2 copies cuz she brought one out from the back and there was one on display up top already.

I guess unless the deal is crazy like $5 CEs with very very limited stock, if you act quick around here you might be able to find stuff.

Hmm I might jump on this but those games...
I guess I could wait a bit too, too many games and not enough free time anyway.

 

[isny]

Kirby Epic Yarn for .49 at FS. Thanks for the heads up everyone

 

[Yawnier]

Picked up Pilotwings for the 3DS for $5 today at EB. Didn't see the likes of Steel Diver or any other sub $5 games there but oh well.

Also saw the $200 Wii U Basic at my local Costco, Zombi U and Nintendoland were both $30 too.

Anybody know if that has been the regular price for those two games at Costco since the release of the Wii U?

I'm quite sure that's the sale/clearance price. If it ends in .97, then yeah.

 

[Madouu]

Zombi U seems to have been at that price for a bit now at Costco.

 

[Ondore]

Wii stuff was pretty much picked clean in Dartmouth, but I got a Pilotwings, Steel Diver (recycled copy was $2.99) and Polarium (DS) for $1.

Also, anything in the flyers for Saturday?

Damn, Polarium wasn't marked at my EB, I should have tried anyways. Oh well. I forgot which EB I saw it at so would be a waste of time to go back randomly to one and check.

 

[SickBoy]

I managed to pick up Pilotwings and Warioware DIY (used) and Steel Diver (new) for $11 today. Pretty good. Had already played the first two, but for $6 they're worth adding back into my game library.

 

[Kifimbo]

Found the last copy of inFamous 2: Hero's Edition here. The box wasn't perfect, but for 5$ I can't complain. And bought two 1$ DS games from Nintendo, hoping there is a Nintendo Club code in there.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

The Tatsunoko vs. Capcom fightstick has been at $50 for a long time. They were $20 a couple years back but the price went back up.

 

[CountBlack]

Alright I have a dilemma..well not really a big one but yea

I'm pretty much broke lol. Anyway..

I want to trade two games in to EB Games to get Injustice: Gods among us. Both games have to be at $15 trade in value. I have Halo 4 at $15 and that's the only game NBA 2K13 is at $14, and its the only other game near $15.

If I trade two $15 games, I get $60 worth of credit for the game, so I was thinking of buying a used copy of Pokemon Black or White Version 2, and trading it in since the value is over $15.

Used Pokemon Black or white goes for $29.99

So I would spend 30 on Pokemon and trade in one game and kinda get Injustice for $30..

I'm not sure if this makes any sense..it sounds like it does lol but I might not make any

Is it worth it?

Also: I don`t want to trade any other game if its not really needed, only Halo 4

 

[chrono01]

I keep trying to purchase the games online [from EBGames], but I get an error upon check out.

Does it mean that they're sold out and haven't yet updated the site?

Edit - Never mind. I had to use a new browser. For whatever reason, it was giving me an error.

Kirby's Epic Yarn and Sin & Punishment ordered!

Pokemon B2/W2 isn't $15 TIV. I don't think any DS/3DS/Vita game has a $15 TIV.

 

[CountBlack]

Pokemon B2/W2 isn't $15 TIV. I don't think any DS/3DS/Vita game has a $15 TIV.

FFFF. It was on the most wanted list so I assumed it was over $15

 

[zroid]

Sigh, no 10% off all games at BB.

They are doing 20% off used games, however. I'm not really seeing anything which piques my interest, but if anyone wants a used copy of Code of Princess for $28, you could get that right now. There's only one left, by the way.

 

[Deleted member 126221]

Yay, just got Pilotwings and Steel Diver (is it any good?) for $5, and Pokemon Trozei for $1. It's supposed to be new, but it's the "new" game in the worst condition I've ever seen. Old, unremovable stickers everywhere, damaged and sticky box... but for $1, I can't complain! The game is pretty fun.

 

[big_z]

I'm quite sure that's the sale/clearance price. If it ends in .97, then yeah.

yeah the wii u prices do end in .97. seems like costco is done selling anything wiiU. cant blame them

 

[Tagg9]

Just got Pilotwings and Steel Diver for $5 each at EB. Asked about InFAMOUS 2 - she said they had five copies but the staff had proudly purchased all of them.

Oh, and neither 3DS game came with the Club Nintendo card. Fucking EB Games.

 

[Sora_N]

That's all I got today.

EDIT: Kirby is in stock on the EB site right now.

 

[Maximus.]

Just picked up my missed delivery for the 3DS XL. Such a fast delivery, I ordered it 24 hours ago from Futureshop, love it. The 3DS XL is AMAZING. I have the OG 3DS and thought it was awesome, but after handling the XL for 5 minutes, I knew it was far superior. It does have a yellow tinge at an angle and the screens are darker, but the buttons all feel better and the weight is great. The system overall is amazing. Damnit Nintendo, how do you make me always buy their handhelds.

 

[chrono01]

Yeah, Futureshop delivered my Pikachu 3DS XL insanely fast.

I pre-ordered late at night, it shipped the following morning and the next day I had it. I chose the cheapest possible shipping too.

I was surprised, to say the least.

 

[Wasp14]

Does anyone have experience with returning a physical copy of a game to Origin? Their site says to mail it to the American address (even though it was shipped from within Ontario) which sounds expensive.

 

[mrgone]

Kirby Epic Yarn for .49 at FS. Thanks for the heads up everyone

How did you manage to get it for 49 cents?

 

[Lexxism]

How did you manage to get it for 49 cents?

Price match(I think)

 

[KJA]

That's all I got today.

EDIT: Kirby is in stock on the EB site right now.

Thanks for the heads up on Kirby. I've never seen a sale this good since Metroid: Other M came out lol.

BTW, nice haul. I always wanted to play Let's Tap but I never got around to buying it. I hope you have fun!

 

[mrgone]

True - just seemed low enough that there might be something else I was missing

 

[No_Style]

That's all I got today.

EDIT: Kirby is in stock on the EB site right now.

Hmmm. I might go out and grab the UC3: CE. I enjoy my cheap CEs.

Also rewatched this hilarious Nolan North CE Unboxing video to remind myself what was in it.

 

[Lexxism]

True - just seemed low enough that there might be something else I was missing

Yeah. It should only be $1.49. Maybe he did something to make it 49 cents

 

[zroid]

Whoa, Let's Tap. I always wanted to try that. I don't even think it's listed on the site, is it?

Might be hard to track down. :\

Thanks, I'll get around to try it eventually but I haven't figured out a way to set up the sensor bar for my Wii on my desk yet.

Thanks for the link, I liked that review. I'm trying to find a buyer for the UC3 disc first because I already own the game.

Whoa, Let's Tap. I always wanted to try that. I don't even think it's listed on the site, is it?

Might be hard to track down. :\

I found it on the shelf randomly, hah. I wonder if some games are not marked as the sale price. I haven't found anything I wanted badly, or else I'd go up and blindly check the prices.

 

[Rubius]

Picked up Golden Sun DS and Sin and Punishment for Ebgames, sweet deal.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

My Pikachu 3DS XL box was dented everywhere. Why do you have to use a bubble mailer FS.

 

[chrono01]

My Pikachu 3DS XL box was dented everywhere. Why do you have to use a bubble mailer FS.

Yeah, my entire top right/bottom right were crushed.

It upsets me, but honestly, I'm just happy to have the system.

A box would have been nice, though. :/

Futureshop packaging is always a fucking joke. Got BioShock Infinite Premium Pack in the mail on Tuesday. The box was destroyed. Went to FS and exchanged it.
