How is it difficult? Go to the store finder on the Rogers Plus site and find a store near you. Check the CAG thread (post #3) to see if that store is closing.

Anyone in the Vancouver area know where I can get an empty case or just the cover art for Modern Warfare 3 for the PS3? I want to trade in my copy but keep my Steelbook case from the Hardened Edition.

Don't know if it's a store error or specific to the store I went to, but I was able to purchase the Steelbook collector's edition of Harry Potter 1-6 for $15.99 each. Half-Blood Prince was $19.99 on their blu-ray area, while it was $15.99 on the Harry Potter display. Saved myself a cool $40+ since it initially rang up at $19.99 each.

This was at the Pickering store, I should add.

I'm also looking for empty PS3 and blu-ray cases. Anyone know where to get one around Toronto? For blu-rays, I'm looking for some 2 and 3-disc cases.

Well then, I've made up my mind...

"There is discussion internally about aggregating assets from all of these films over the last decade and adding some new things -- we’ve never done an Ultimate Edition on the final two films -- and doing some grand kind of piece," he says. "It could be the end of 2012 or the beginning of ’13."

EB Daily Deal for Today is Tron Evolution (360/PS3) and
Epic Mickey Collector's Edition (Wii) $19.89

http://www.ebgames.ca/browse/ProductMerch.aspx?groupid=625

$9.89 for the 360 version but $29.99 for the PS3 Version (WTF?)

Also there is the Collectors Edition for both for $19.89 which makes no sense for PS3 of course.

I'm hoping to score the collectors edition but i'd be surprised if my local EB's have them in stock. (Store online stock checker does say they have them however)

Is Epic Mickey a good game? I think I remember people being disappointed with it, but is it actually bad?

It seems there's stock in like every store around my city.

It's decent, but be prepared to be frustrated with the camera.

Are you sure that's tomorrow? People were going by numerically, with today being RedFaction (618), (519) gives you homefront.

If you click on the Doorcrasher link on EB's Homepage it takes you to the link i've posted so I assume so.

Epic Mickey was $10 at Wal-mart a couple weeks ago and will likely be that price on Boxing Day. If you think some decals, a bonus DVD, and a figurine are worth the extra $10 then go for it.

It didn't get the greatest reviews but it's a good price.

It's not bad. It's actually pretty high-production (i.e. lots of Disney charm). The platforming/camera isn't as good as some of the rest of the mechanics, however.

The Ultimate Editions just re-insert deleted scenes that were usually deleted for a reason, and collect together all the bonus materials that have been scattered across the various releases.

They're probably going to charge a significant premium for the Definitive Edition boxset, on top of making you wait a year or longer.

So if you just want all the movies for cheap, now's probably the best time. If you're OCD for bonus features, then you should either wait, or buy the current set to make the wait easier, and increase the chances of holding out to find a deal on the DE.

Was going to hold off until the standard edition hit $10, but decided to bite. Definitely worth the $20. Not only do you get the awesome statue, you also get a bonus disc with a bunch of cool interviews and such on it!

I'd say the statue is worth almost the $20 to me, so lets just say I paid $10 for the statue and $10 for the game =D

They only had two copies however at the closest store to me, and luckily I got that last one!

I've found that ultimate editions usually get released at a high price, but are pretty easy to grab on promo later. It wasn't be a huge loss I don't think either way. I purchased the regular set as a gift for my cousins so if I ever need to I can borrow that ;D

It's a good game with a pretty sucky camera. What hurts more is that Nintendo worked on the japanese version a bit, and they fixed the camera issue.

If you're downtown, Arbutus is the one staying. I think one of the only others is Penn Village in South Surrey. Worked there and was talking to one of my former coworkers and he thinks they're the only two left in the lower mainland.

Wonder if it's worth checking out. I loved Freedom Fighters and was really interested when Homefront dropped, but all the controversy (love/hate MP, super linear story, studio closure, etc.) surrounding its release made me pass.

At this risk of making this off topic again, people have been trading codes in the Toronto thread and I was wondering if anyone here would want to trade 3ds friend codes? I'm 3609-1192-2134.

Dear god, surely you could link to the Toronto thread in an effort to prevent a page of 3DS codes :p

I hate it when you have to educate the people who are serving you on their own promos. Thankfully, I think the main game guy at my local Future Shop is pretty on the ball... crossing my fingers I won't have to jump through any hoops when I'm done with MW3. I'm not sure I've seen this ad anywhere other than a Future Shop press release and their website... imagine if they took that image down... :/

Bought it during Steam sale. Totally not worth it. Hilariously linear and dull. Gunplay is amazing but the game doesn't do justice to it at all.

I've only traded in games a few times, but there seems to be only one guy at the Victoria location who actually knows how to do it. Even finding someone in the game/movie section is a pain in the ass, and they always have to tell me to wait while they go and get someone who can do it.

I've only traded games in once at FS, and it was a disaster. CSR didn't really know what to do, and had to keep asking some other rep for help. Never again.

They're a liquidator. Some store went out of business and they're selling the bankrupt place's stock. Everything is new. I didn't see any PS3s though. I just popped in quickly, I may have missed them.

The previous time I walked past the place it was filled with designer clothing. Lot's of formally $300 pairs of jeans.
