Hot! Rogers Video Previously Played Games 2/$40 YMMV

[Nesmaster]

I just got back from Rogers Video here in Sherwood Park on Baseline. They had the signs up saying 2 for $40 on ALL used games. There was no start or end date, and the other Rogers in Sherwood Park didn't have the sale, so YMMV. Maybe this is a sign of something to come in their Eplus flyer for August?

I ended up getting Monster Madness, Forza 2, RE4 Wii, and F4ROTSS. (360) :)

[Corizzle]

They have this every once and a while, good time to get used games.

[Kekumba]

Wait a sec, you can get any two used games for $40? Like, games that are more than $40 in the first place? Jumpin' jesus, what the hell am I doing sitting here browsing the forums.. *jumps in the car to head to Rogers*

[magiic]

I'd definately reccomend calling your Rogers Video first

Yes, Monster Madness and F4 were $49.99, and they worked.

[Kekumba]

Hell yeah, son.. this is the deal I've been waiting for. Now let's just hope they have some decent games.. I'll hit them up bright and early tomorrow.

[Phorty Ounce]

Don't forget to call first. Save gas.

And time.

[Kekumba]

Well I have to stop by my grandparents to drop off a lawnmower, so I'll just stop in to Rogers on the way.. if they have nothing good, or no sale at all, I'll call some other places.

[maigoyume]

sexy deal, but i hate getting the used stuff, can't stand scratches at ALL

If you find imperfections in the disc, come back the next day and say that the disc was skipping or something. I am sure that they will replace your copy with another one on the shelf. I tried it, and it worked.

You may also get a replacement on instruction manuals that were raped and beaten, depending on how much of a punkass/bitch the clerk or CSR is.

So I guess you'd rather waste the extra money buying them new, rather than:

A) Living with it.
B) Finding some place to resurface them for a couple bucks.

GET OFF CHEAPASSGAMER!!! :P

I'm just playing with you, but saving $20 - $50 PER TITLE > a few scratches. If it bothered me enough I would resurface them. :)

[Fronzi]

Are these roger's deals generally a good time to grab some better games to use for trading in for consoles at EB or are the prices still too high to make it very efficient?

[Azumangaman]

Hell yes! Hopefully its at mine (and one thats about 10 minutes away that actually has lots of PS3 games...hope its there!)
Thanks OP.
Hopefully this isn't very YMMV.

[magiic]

I just got back from mine and it is on. But it is TODAY only. Which also may be YMMV. Keep that in mind. Best to act now. Mine had a shit ton of games, anybody want me to grab something for them? Mine has Scarface if anyone wants to trade for it.

[magiic]

I can get Shadowrun and Monster Madness also.

[Nesmaster]

One day seems very odd... Usually they run for the weekend at least. Guess we'll find out, maybe it's in the August Eplus flyer.

[King]

Hm anyone see Overlord around?

[Phorty Ounce]

One day? Bull.

Mr. Rogers Boss: Hey! Let us declare a 2/40! Today only!
Mr. Asshat Clerk: But Sir, what about advertising and promotion?
Mr. Rogers Boss: Ah, let us assume that everyone owns a computer and an account to RFD and cheapshitgamer.
Mr. Asshat Clerk: You mean cheapassgamer...
Mr. Rogers Boss: There you go! See, you proved my point. Now, let us bask in this phantom-like promotion. BASK DAMN YOU.

Sorry, a bit excessive.

[magiic]

He said it was one day only because they are having a massive clearance on PPV movies, my rogers had well over 1000 movies out for sale in cardboard boxes under a tent thing.

[maigoyume]

So I guess you'd rather waste the extra money buying them new, rather than:

I'm just playing with you, but saving $20 - $50 PER TITLE > a few scratches. If it bothered me enough I would resurface them. :)i was just gonna wait for the price to drop, got enough of a backlog right now and no money
i can see where you're coming from though, but i can always wait till they're $20 a piece :)

[magiic]

I ended up doing ok, I got

scarface
big brain academy wii degree

360:
Shadowrun
Monster Madness
Forza 2
Spider-Man 3
Pirates of the Caribbean
Fantastic Four

Though you could probably cut costs through trade-ins. Or, through here.

[magiic]

I grabbed a couple doubles so I could get some more points on goozex, I actually have 12 games in total. Here is to hoping the deal comes back in August.

[TheBigBoi]

I definitely gotta stop by there today. If I manage to get something (which might end up being slim to none), I'll update this post.

[eswat]

Might head my nearest RV later today, but the deal for them doesn't end till tomorrow.

[magiic]

Im going to stop by mine and see if by some miracle they are doing it still even though they said they were only doing it for one day. Anyone have games they want to trade around.

[Phorty Ounce]

Yeah, and please try to see if you can find me a copy of Halo 2 if possible.

[magiic]

I'll look I've never seen a copy of Halo there before though :(
the xbox selection usually sucks, I've seen some gems in the ps2 section, however it is the xbox 360 and wii sections that rock the house :)

[nonrandomhero]

whenever i go to these deals they have nothing. ive only seen chromehounds for 360 and i have never seen a wii game

[magiic]

mine had about 30 xbox 360 games and about 15 Wii games

on a side note I have managed to lose my copy of Mortal Kombat part of me thinks the guy at Rogers never put it in my bag maybe. I dont if I dont find it by tonight should I call and see if they have my copy?

Which Rogers did you go to. I called a few but none had the deal on.

Check your receipt. If the game is on there, you are safe, but I wouldn't wait another minute to get another copy. The least they can do is store credit.

EDIT: For a more convincing arguement, try to bring all the games that you bought at the 2/40, and have them count each one to verify your purchases.

[ikariwarriors]

we picked up Tenchu Z and Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree. been wanting to find Tenchu cheap since it came so, so thanks very much for this thread!

[magiic]

Im just waiting to make sure my girlfriend doesnt have it in her bag or something stupid. Yes it is on my receipt so I did pay for it. Even if they just let me get another Wii game I'd be happy. I'd be suprised if the guy forgot to give me the game Im also positive I have seen it at home atleast once. I dont it's bugging me though I can tell you that. I'll post here what happens.

@arnoldrimmer
I went to the one at Westshore Town Centre in Langford. On Kelly Rd I think.


EDIT: My girlfriend had it 8-)

[imcrazy]

For anyone who wants to know, the last day of this sale is tomorrow.

[magiic]

Just got off the phone with my Rogers they were doing it yesterday only. So I guess weather the deal is still open is probably very YMMV. He said one up island is doing it two weeks from now. Go figure.

[Lone_Prodigy]

Darn, I don't visit CAG on the weekend and this happens. Gah.

[Phorty Ounce]

Darn, I don't visit CAG on the weekend and this happens. Gah.

Ah, it was a YMMV. So far only magiic and OP have been getting the 2/40.

[magiic]

I've been finding unless it's in the eplus these sales are massive YMMV. This is the first time I've been able to get the deal when seemingly everyone else cant. It's always the other way around. Every Rogers in Canada does it except mine lol

[ccbl]

my rogers in ottawa isnt doing it

[TheBigBoi]

It seems as though us in Ontario rarely get the good deals as our Rogers seem to suck.

[imcrazy]

At least 3 stores in Winnipeg are doing it (Regent, McLeod, Meadowood). Mind you I didn't get anything. As long as you can find one store in your city that is doing it, you can get the other stores to call over there and confirm.

[Arcturian]

Fredericton, NB isn't doing it..

[Lone_Prodigy]

It seems as though us in Ontario rarely get the good deals as our Rogers seem to suck.

At least your stores get a good selection. It's just more susceptible to hoarders because there are more of you out East.

In Vancouver the selection is pitiful: PS3/Wii games are almost non-existent.

[magiic]

Did anyone manage to get Earth Defense Force 2017?

[Hovercraft]

My rogers in St. Johns doesnt have it. they barely have any used games, i guess cause they are fairly new. bought x men legends 2 for 10$ though

[Kekumba]

my rogers in ottawa isnt doing it

Yeeep.. I went to two, and called five on Sunday and got nothing but "Nope, not right now".. one of the guys I chatted with told me that it comes and goes, so I should keep looking at flyers or checking back every week. Sucks too, because at that same Rogers they had The Bigs and Gears, my two most wanted games.

I have a copy of Gears that I would be willing to part with. PM me.

[Azumangaman]

I called my local RV-they don't have it but he said in 1-2 weeks they should have a 2/30 again. Hope thats true.

[Phorty Ounce]

YOU, sir, shall report on the morrow if such a groin-grabbingly good deal exists.

[collector42]

I can confirm Sherwood Park baseline ended this evening as someone else stated.

[Lone_Prodigy]

YOU, sir, shall report on the morrow if such a groin-grabbingly good deal exists.

You sir, have a 3-hour advantage on us West Coasters, and should utilize such advantage.

[Phorty Ounce]

You sir, have a 3-hour advantage on us West Coasters, and should utilize such advantage.
YOU, sir, do not know that I did not know that magiic was of the west coast.

also

YOU, sir, do not know that I am lazy. Don't want to drive 15 minutes for the flyer.

[magiic]

See Rogers is about 15 minute walk from my house I go down every few days to check out stuff or whatever. Im just cool that way. I'll zip down this morning probably on my bike.

On a side note I went in yesterday to check to see if they had manuals for some games I'd purchased disk only. He couldn't find them in the drawer so he went to the rental shelves took all the games I'd asked for manuals for out and open the security things and gave me all the manuals from the rentals. I was pretty happy lol :)

[Mike23]

Man, none of this stuff ever happens in Ontario. It's pretty terrible that way.

[Phorty Ounce]

EB games is a 10 minute walk from my house, and now that I compare the distance, Rogers seems like a 1/2 hour walk. But, you have inspired me magiic. I will now use my manual scooter in 30+ degrees weather to transport to places less than 15 minutes away.

NOT.

Anyways, I assume nothing was in the e-plus, or there was no e-plus at all?

[magiic]

I just havent managed to go Im waiting for a cheque I have to deposit. When I get the cheque I will zip down to the mall and see if they have the new e-plus

[poiuiu]

Called the Rogers yesterday and they weren't doing this. Visited them today and reaffirmed it though the told me they have them around 3 times a year. Not that this bit of info does me any good right now since there's a lot of games sitting there right now and probably not during those 3 times a year.:bomb:

[Lone_Prodigy]

I checked Ironwood in Richmond... no eplus and no promo.

EDIT: just checked RFD and it apparently was on. No signs up though. Only games of note were Spiderman 3 and Pirates for 360.

[magiic]

No e-plus at mine today, I will try again tommorow.

[Corizzle]

Went to the Belleville and Trenton Rogers Video, had quite a few decent games but no deal.

Visited them Sunday, just called both of them today and still nothing

[magiic]

checked mine again today still no e-plus :(

[Lone_Prodigy]

checked mine again today still no e-plus :(

It's on the website. No PP'ed game deal. They do have the new DSL bundle though.

[broccoli]

No deal at the Burlington Rogers either

[imcrazy]

Seems it may be happening this weekend as well (since its the long weekend). Obviously call before you waste a trip over there.

[magiic]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check my Rogers on Friday/Saturday

[Fronzi]

Roger's on Adelaide st., London Ontario still had at 6 pm

MK armeggedon (Wii)
2x Resident evil 4 (Wii)
GRAW 2 (360)
Forza 2 (360)
crackdown (360)

[magiic]

just called mine and they are not doing it for the long weekend

[Phorty Ounce]

Picked up two games:

C&C 3
Shadowrun

Anyone interested in the game? Please hit me up via PM. Also, there was Tenchu 2 (X360), and a SHITLOAD of Pirates of Caribbean (X360) games at my local rogers (Stratford, ON).

[magiic]

I guess this is what I get for mine doing it last weekend :( lol

[magiic]

if you by chance decide you dont like Shadowrun any chance of selling it to me for cost + $2 + $1.86 (shipping)

[Phorty Ounce]

I have to see what EB's rates are first.

[Lone_Prodigy]

EBG gives $25 for Shadowrun IIRC.

[Spiderine]

WTF is ePlus?

[Phorty Ounce]

WTF is ePlus?

A flyer that is released by Rogers Video every month, usually.

[Spiderine]

Ah ok. :)

[magiic]

if you decide to trade it in can I buy the manual off you? I just want to have a complete copy.

[Phorty Ounce]

Sorry man. I decided just to return the two games. I figured, I am spending too much money for games I don't need.

[magiic]

damn I totally would of paid cash for Shadowrun :(

[Phorty Ounce]

damn I totally would of paid cash for Shadowrun :(

You would have paid $25 (the amount EB would have paid)+some premium+shipping? If so, I may hold it.

[Spiderine]

I got Fantastic Four 2 and Godfather for the 360 today for $40. The manager said the sale was over but, I pointed at the lone sign that said two for $40. He said he'd do it then. :D:D After the transaction he removed the sign :D

[indigo blue]

I got:

Okami
The Darkness (X360)
Dead Rising (meh...)
Scarface (Wii)
Spiderman 3 (X360).. Traded in
Ratatouille (Wii).. Traded in


The rogers near my place still has the sign up and has a crazy amount of wii and xbox 360 games... and a couple ps3. I've spent enough though.

I will trade you for your dead rising if mint, complete, and has no stickers.

It has the instructions and all, but i think it has a few scratches so...

No stickers either.

[maigoyume]

Where's this rogers?i'd like to know as well

[indigo blue]

it's on Creditview and Britannia in Mississauga, Ontario... I'm not sure if it'll be up tommorow but might as well try if you are in the area.

[Spiderine]

If anyone can get their hands on Transformers (360) and/or Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix (360) LMK I'll buy at cost + Extra ;)

[magiic]

Im going to check my Rogers tommorow just for shits and giggles

[Zowsky]

If anyone picked up the Darkness and is looking to get rid of it let me know

[TheBigBoi]

I just called the Brittania/Creditview location and they said yesterday was the last day. Sack of crap. I'm so mad because I work at Heartland Town Centre (like 2 minutes away from there) but I always take the 401 to get home and never Brittania.

[Phorty Ounce]

Well, I called my Rogers, and apparently they likely do 2/40's during a long weekend or some sort of holiday. So, if this holds true, there will be a sale on Labour Day weekend, right when I just go back to school.

[Spiderine]

So should this be going on next weekend?

[Phorty Ounce]

So should this be going on next weekend?

Not 100% garunteed, but if they were to hold a sale, it would most likely be Labour Day weekend. It would make sense for them too, because it is the most busiest weekend before going back to school

Starting Grade 12 in two weeks. :applause:

[Spiderine]

So anyone have a good way of getting the little sticker thats around the hole of the game off?

[Lone_Prodigy]

So anyone have a good way of getting the little sticker thats around the hole of the game off?

Use the sticker itself: it's really quite strong and I've managed to render them spotless.

[ragnar14]

The sticker works ok, but it varies. I prefer Scotch brand magic tape. I've neatly cleaned sticker residue off paper cartridge boxes with it.
If you're cleaning off a DVD case do take the paper insert out of the case before cleaning. There's nothing worse than seeing indentaions that can form from the repeated pressing.

[magiic]

I use contact cement remover to get the sticker off the disk. Works like a charm does zero damage to the disk. :)

[maigoyume]

If you're cleaning off a DVD case do take the paper insert out of the case before cleaning. There's nothing worse than seeing indentaions that can form from the repeated pressing.oh i haaaaaaate that >< i remember back when i first tried cleaning that junk off, made nice big indents in the paper insert, was pretty ticked off

[imcrazy]

To get stickers off a DVD case, I simply use bumper sticker remover. Spray it on, wait a minute or 2 and then simply peel that bad boy off. Removes all sticker residue. Got mine from Canadian Tire.
