Is it be brand new copies of the games listed?
I don't want to trade something to get a used copy of Zelda, for example.
Island Tour is looking really, really bad. Especially in terms of content. Pokemon will probably retain value longer too, I wouldn't do it.
Oh wow im definitely going to trade something in
Do they do that? I haven't experienced trading in a game for a used one
It's $40 towards it, so I don't think it would matter. I mean, their markdown is usually $5 cheaper than new for used games so giving you $40 for one used game and have change left over wouldnt make much sense imo.
I'm on the ACIV PS4 list! Actually I'm even on the Xbone ACIV Season Pass list too which I didn't even apply for lol. That must be a glitch!

Guacamelee! $3.75 for Vita through PSN+, should I bite? I got Spelunky for the same price yesterday. I did not play it yet but the wife is having a blast!

I'm sure it's a new one, otherwise they would have stated clearly it's a used copy!
Amazon.ca has this Vita bundle, I'm not sure if it was posted before!
Vita+ 8gb Memory card+ Carrying case + Hot Shots Golf + COD Classified for $200
not the best but I think it's not that bad, only drawback is COD comes loose in a plastic bag, no case no manual!
Just like that :
Nice, was planning on buying my brothers Pokemon for Christmas.

Woah! That's a steal. Thanks for the heads up!

That bundle was like 170$ during their BF/Cybermonday deals.

lol ok
I have never seen it before and I thought it's not bad at that price!
Sorry for the repost people

I think that list is just a dupe of the ACIV PS4 list. The have Xbox One ACIV Passes listed twice. I think the Xbox One ACIV winners are not listed and I should be on it.

That's my guess too, cause I've also got my name posted by mistake on Xbone season pass list!

I really doubt it! espeically with EB, EB's trade-in values are the worst!
Your best bet is getting something off Kijiji of someone who just wanna get rid of some games for any reason!
Sweet. I really want both Zelda games. Hoping to trade SMTIV and Super Mario 3D Land but I have a feeling they won't be worth $15

generally speaking handheld games are capped at $14, but I think there are exceptions now and then. maybe SMT4, since it retailed for $50 instead of $40.
The two games I want aren't on this list..(Mario Kart 7,and Fire Emblem)
bought the zeldas, luigi, and pokemon already.Lone_Prodigy

AFAIK no handheld games trade in for $15+ at EB.
Damn that sucks. I guess I'll finally trade in AC4 then... Anyone have an idea if 3DS games (notably both Zeldas) would go on sale for Boxing Day? Might as well wait it out.
I'd settle for a $20-30 game so I can also get Mario 3D World.
I think I only have 3 games I want to trade at this point that are worth $15. I'm not going to count on the EB employee helping me out when I get there.
The Wii U version of Arkham Origins shows no price on tivs.ca, hopefully it's good enough.

How is AC 4 on ps4 I am thinking of getting it as a Christmas present for myself. I played COD ghosts it looks pretty identical to current gen versions, how does assassins creed compare.

It looks good but having seen my brother play the 360 version (I played PS4) I don't think it's so notable an upgrade to justify buying it again if you already own it on 360 or PS3.
Get enough UPlay points and get it for free.
I don't think they're doing that any more.
Time to finally get rid of Animal Crossing
Should I get Luigis Mansion or Zelda: ALBW :/
Link Between Worlds.
Also I strongly urge everyone who wants to play Animal Crossing to buy the digital version. It's a game that's best played for a little while every day and not having to swap a game card for it is important.
There's a reason it's my most played 3DS game by an incredibly wide margin. (like hundreds of hours wide.)Link Between Worlds.

I thought I would do this too...but I just kinda fell off the wagon and I don't think I'll have time to get back to it, it was my first Animal Crossing - just don't think the series is for me. Was enjoyable for the time I spent with it though.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.

Animal Crossing isn't everyone's cup of tea. Buying digital prevents people from selling or giving it away. I sank about 10 hours into it, thought it was decent, but I'm not a fan of chasing carrots on strings. It wasn't much different from a facebook game in that regard(although you don't have to pay money to unlock or speed up content unlock, kudos to Nintendo for that)
Thanks for the heads up man, I'll get Pokemon now. I guess it's time I jumped back in. Finally a good 3DS deal from EB.

Anybody in Calgary looking for Zelda LBW, I have an extra copy I'm willing to sell for a good price! Just PM me

haha, yeah me too. I'd also add that if you have a female in you life, you should buy them a 3dsxl + AC, even if they don't game or have just played a few facebook games. If they stick with it for a bit, there is a good chance they'll get hooked. Me and my SO have been playing since the summer, and I still remember the look on her face when I gave her the 3ds + ac, it was pretty much WTF is this? Now she loves it.
Sad fact is though that it looks to be a unique game that way. I wish there were more female games that weren't facebook/Microtransaction stuff.
DLC and MTs would totally ruin AC for me, totally.
For those who are still looking for a PS4, Walmart has a PS4 bundle still in stock - http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/1027384...6NE2Iyb3yR4B1z.7Ec0vw&wmlspartner=CAqD7bLWUPI
Ah yes, it's like the Shop.ca bundle but not as cheap....Welp, I expect it to sell out by the end of the day.
yes yes yes. it was a fantastic game. i had no experience with the metroidvania genre until that game and i loved it.

Has anyone had any experience with Sony warranties before in Canada? Thinking of getting the $59.99 one from PSN, and wanted to hear if it was as good ad they make it sound.
Pretty smooth and easy, but that was for a handycam purchased at a Sony Store.
MrBambinoDent

Sold out already!
What ticks me off is the fact that most of that stock is bought by flippers and RFDers for profit! Just like that guy who had like 20 PS4s ordered online from BB and he was happy he posted a screenshot of his order history page!
This is kind of gross, but I also feel like if someone wanted a PS4 at MSRP, there were plenty of opportunities to get one.
RedFlagHoarders
yup.
i kind of wish i flipped mine since i bought 3 (i really wanted to make sure i got one at launch lol), but i just gave the other two preorders to friends at cost. actually, one of them hasn't even paid me back yet...sigh.

Charge interest.
i think i will. it's kind of irritating when it's christmas time and i've even bought him a gift.
MrBambinoDent
Member
You tell him there won't be a Christmas gift if he doesn't pay you this week
No seriously, I'm not so sure about your finances but if you're not tight on money you might give him a break until the season is over and that would be like the best gift ever imo! Up to you though
