The N64 for $10 is pretty sweet... but then again, when they're only $15 now...

Thanks for the list though, Tenzor. I especially like the trade in two games to get $20 off a pre-order!!!

yeah I was hoping for a Fable, Sudeki, Halo 2 demo, but I knew that was out of the question. Most of the demos are from OXM demos they featured throughout the year.

I think I heard something about getting the pre-order game free when I asked the worker at EB about the trade in. I didn't really pay attention because I thought he was talking about like the normal trade in.

It's not $20 + TiC it's just $20.



and the MTV Generator thing is a GREAT deal. I might buy 2 copies of it :P Then I'll just trade in the games for some extra trade-in credit, w00t :D

Well, out here in NorCal, a regular ticket is worth about $9, so its not far off. But I am of course a CAG at heart, so I only see matinees. :D

for reals I once but I bunch of 10 dollar games at the TRU BOGO none worked for their trade in 4 games and get a game for free deal.

tenzor

its like a movie voucher up to $12.00, some movie places charge up to 10 bucks for evening shows. So the movie ticket just goes up to 12 bucks and if you use it at a theather that sells tickets for 7 bucks they just take the whole ticket.

also about the gamecube deal, it must be a typo on EB's behalf , I am guessing it should read $69.99.

Benaorn
06-16-2004, 10:31 PM
That would not be a good deal for me then. I only get 12 dollars off.

Can someone answer that? New or used...and what kind of coupon are they talking about?

Thanks.

Getting a cheap, used Dreamcast for my room would be nice. Most of the games are cheap now, so it would be worth it.
I also like the pre-order trade in deal. Ill have to check to see what old games of mine I dont want.

tolhurst

The real trick is them actually having a dreamcast-neither of the store near me ever do.

Thanks.

Just received the flyer today, too. Basically, there is a page full of select GameCube games and a coupon towards the bottom stating "$10 off INSTANTLY any game titles featured on this page". They should all be NEW gamecube games (reg.$19.99) and are the following:

Syro: Enter the Dragonfly
Matt Hoffman Pro BMX 2
Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex
Crazy Taxi
Spider-man

Now, the weird thing is that I think you can argue that the $10 instant OFF coupon should work for the other regularly priced GC games on the same page:

Shrek 2 $49.99
Tales of Symphonia $49.99
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 $49.99
True Crime $29.99
Tony Hawk's Underground $39.99

Do you guys concur? Any input welcomed.

I wonder what the chance is getting one of those n64 systems with a ram pack already installed?

I think I'll have to pester the EB employees to open up the little lid and check 'em all out.

JohnnyDrama

For the "GBA for GBASP" trade, do you need to just bring in the GBA itself (no original box or anything like that)?

pretty good. I have only had a few that trade in the RAM pack in seperate (because they had the old one). You will have to ask the employee working to look for you. Most would just grab one and sale it if not asked.
