Got a response regarding applying a recently acquired gift card to the MM n3DS I ordered from ebgames.ca in January:
fuckin thing is so expensive, and now I have a bunch of eb games giftcards and nothing to really spend them on in the foreseeable future (I get all my games from futureshop E3 deals)

Can't you just return it in store and rebuy it with giftcards?Got a response regarding applying a recently acquired gift card to the MM n3DS I ordered from ebgames.ca in January:

maybe you can return it and then immediately re purchase it at a store? dunno if they will allow that but possibly
...
I would have never thought of this.
Seems like something they wouldn't allow, but who knows lol

Call them. I called and had them do exactly that. They can 100% do it

I can't imagine why they wouldn't do it, unless they're being dicks about it or something.
I wish every site could use Amazon's ordering system, all the other retailers seem to have trouble making the simplest changes like applying a gift card
Thanks for your passive aggressive remark, you would have had a constructive post and not been a dick if you left out the last part.

It's my opinion, which is what forums are about. I acknowledged that other people like them and can understand that. I just think they're lame and am shocked how much people hunt for them.

A lady drove through the stop sign that is posted before the pedestrian walkway linking the Target to its parking lot, and just about hit a couple. They weren't too impressed and stood there, giving her shit as I was walking in.
That was the only rudeness (on her part) that I saw.

Hey guys, this is kind of awkward but I was only able to get one more from there. :/
I can flip a coin later to see who gets it?
It's a dick move because no one can respond in this thread. Amiibo discussion doesn't exist here anymore. It's effectively a drive-by post. You can share your opinions about amiibo but do it in the amiibo thread next time.

Just checked out the Target at the Stockyards in Toronto. Just like all the other Targets, all the games are 10% off. I only checked out the 3DS section cause, naturally, that's relevant to my interests.
Not only did they not have a copy of Persona Q, but it looks like they never had it. No copies of ORAS to be had, but X and Y were still plentiful. Didn't see any copies of Monster Hunter. No copies of Smash left despite the fact that it was still in the display 3DS (I didn't ask whether it was a physical or digital copy. Maybe I should have.) And furthermore they put in a copy of Mario - I want to say NSMB? The 2D Mario Brothers. Not 3D Land - in the place where Smash was supposed to be. I sure hope they aren't trying to trick kids or parents. Anyway, the eShop cards were totally cleared out, as were all the handhelds. The only console I found around was a Wii Mini, and let's face it, those things probably aren't worth 100% off, let alone 10.
I was sort of tempted by Bravely Default and Theatrhythm Curtain Call, which they still had several copies of. But I figure, if I'm only gonna be saving 4 and 3 dollars respectively, I could probably do better buying a used copy at EB or something. There you're pretty much guaranteed to get 5 off a used copy (at least that's the case whenever I've gone. It might be different now, I'm not sure.)
Just goes to show that some people will go nuts even for 10% off.

Man, based on that report it sounds like it's already over for me. Granted, I'm interested in more than 3DS stuff, but the place sounds picked over already.

All point cards and gift cards do not actually hold value before checkout, so they were all returned the day of the announcement of their bankruptcy filing.

I saw a guy holding a Target clearance sign out in the cold. What a shitty thing to do to an employee.

There is enough free advertisement in the news about the liquidation. There is no need to do that.

Oh. I guess that explains that. Either way, I guess the point is don't bother looking for a card there.

On the news Wednesday: Judge gives okay to liquidation, Target to start tomorrow.
On the news yesterday: Target liquidation begins, customers upset with lack of deals.

I actually went in today, and maybe it's because it was 1pm, but it was fairly quiet. I think the first day drove most of the people away.

if we see bigger discounts on CDs, I'm back in
I'll get Kanye West's College Dropout and Taylor Swift's 1989, Deluxe edition >_>
SDM doesn't carry most games lol, they seem to only carry the big titles for WiiU. Never stocked Hyrule Warriors or Captain Toad.
Liquidation Target sucks and everywhere I go I see stuff I bought months ago at much lower prices than what's offered now. The big difference is the place is packed. Where were these people six months ago? If they liked these deals they'd have loved the normal Target sales and probably the place would still be in business.
Also the Starbucks is closed and no eShop cards are here. My favourite two things about Target Canada are already gone.

I guess this is why stores in Chinatown always hang a "going out of business" sign in front of their stores. It works.
If you buy it online at Toysrus you can use the promo code CineplexHoliday for $10 off. Almost as good as 20% off.
Seems to vary by store, but generally yes, mostly the big titles. But I mean they've carried things like ZombiU, Rayman Legends, Style Savvy, so there is some variety.
Ah, I had seen the code before, but forgot about it. Thanks.
True, I was disappointed the store I work at didnt' get Captain Toad, would have used points to get the game.
The average shopper is incredibly uninformed.
It makes me sad to see because in a lot of ways, I liked Canadian Target. Sure, it wasn't American Target in many ways but I liked having an alternative to Walmart for certain things.

Wal-Mart's wall art is a tall start to a fall chart of ball farts.
What the hell did I just say? It's been a long day. Goodnight.
I'm not sure about persona, but Cloverdale target has/had smash 3ds, Pokemon oras, and I think monster hunter. The display copy is an actual retail copy that you can ask for.
Percentages, so far, are the same across all stores. It may change in the future, but not right now.
Edit: we also had xbones.
