Hey guys thought it would be a good idea to give us all the opportunity to brag about what items we got, and how much we got it for. It doesn't even have to be video game related (I'm not here to judge). Since this is being typed pre-boxing day the only deals I've gotten are:

2 2gig SD cards-$25
Dead Head Fred (PSP)-$10
Mega Man Star Force: Leo (DS)-$15
All Pro Football 2k7 (PS3)-$6.99

Not much but I will update tomorrow after shopping/savings commence.

Fire Emblem (wii) (brand freaking new clearance) 15$
X Men Legends 2 Gamecube 15$

Sonic and Mario olympics 15$
fire emblem cube 15$

Megaman Battle Network 5 and 6 10$

all from RV.

Oh man I wish I could find FE (either) for $15 each, nice haul. :(

So far I only got a 4gb SD Card for $25 at NCIX, probably some more random stuff tomorrow..not sure about games right now.

Got my sister a LG 80 Gb dvd recorder for 100$ off and myself a pair of 60$ headphones for 19.99. Plus I had a 5$ off giftcard from the grand opening so I got 5$ off too. Good times.

Well I got:

Best Buy

Call of Duty 4 (360) - $39.99
Rainbow Six: Vegas (360) - $19.99
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3) - $59.99 (not a deal, but wanted it anyways)

Futureshop

Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hour Glass (DS) - $19.99
Word of Warcraft Battle Chest (PC) - $19.99
Ratatouille Blu-ray Movie - $24.99
20" LG LCD Flatpanel Monitor - $199.99

This was technically between me and my brother... he got everything at futureshop (except Ratatouille... everyone says it's so amazing, i had to check it out and at $25... you can't go wrong).

So in total... we both spent $410: $170 (saved $77) for me and $240 (saved $105) for him... + taxes >_<

I wasn't going to spend a penny on boxing day the other day, believe it or not... but I always told myself I would buy Rainbow six when it was cheap and COD4 if it hits forty or so... and they both did it! Then the headset and blu-ray came after my friend told me to get both so we could chat up on my new ps3 haha... now i just need a job to keep going =P

I bought seasons 7 & 9 for the Boxing Day price at Walmart, they rung it up for me since the flyer is so vague. It says something like TV box sets, no specifics. Just try, you may get away with it like I did.

12-26-2007, 04:34 PM
The guitar is by The Ant Commandos, I think the guitar is called guitar commando or something. Can't say how it works, I don't have a GH game yet. It feels like $20 worth

BTW, EB has a wireless one for $40, looks nicer too

How can you complain about the colour when it is a homage to the rocking Dan Avatar you have?

As for the loot.

Hit RV at 10:30 am and they just wheeled out a bunch of used game right after I got there. I snagged:
Skate (360)
Beautiful Katamarcy (360)
Forza 2 (360)
contra 4 (DS)
Pheonix wright: trials and tribulations (DS)
Front mission (DS)

All on 2 for 30.

At future shop, I got the JBL 510 headphones reg 170 for 79 and phantom hourglass for $20.

I was in the mall and got 2 Oilers Jerseys (RBK) for 149.99 (2 for 1)

Got Wh40k:squad command (DS) for 30. Doubt this is a deal, but I can't find it anywhere.

Went to EB Games at the Oshawa Centre looking for either Ratchet & Clank or Assassin's Creed for PS3 and couldn't get EITHER. :bomb:

spzero

I got myself:
Best Buy: Assassin's Creed PS3 (39.99)
EB Games: NHL 08 PS3 (49.99)
Wal-Mart: Formula One Championship Edition PS3 (19.99)

In retrospect, I wish I found Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 and Rainbow Six Vegas to purchase. I might have found them, but I chose not to buy them. Sucks for me.

Nothing much, Rogers was disappointing, no good PPV 2/30. Maybe another day. I did grab with a giftcard I got for Christmas:

Moto GP 07
Hot Wheels: Beat That!
Harry Potter OOTP
Project Sylpheed

All 360, from the 2/$30 clearance bin, and

Open Season
F4 ROTSS

both 360, for $9.99 BOGO. Mainly for a trade 4 at Blockbuster as I've already finished both of them. :)

walmart had sonic ps3 and full auto 2 10$. splinter cell wii too.

Icetron
12-27-2007, 12:50 AM
They tried to do $35 for Strikers but I said "Hey isn't is $25?" And the guy just changed it, didn't even answer my question. Pretty sneaky. It was a correction notice, the Wii games advertised are $25 instead of $35, can't remember where I read the info (probably RFD...).

scary perry
12-27-2007, 12:50 AM
I got Forza 2 CE in the RV 2/$30 clearance game deal.

Zellers had a correction notice on the online flyer that said they are offering Super Paper Mario and Mario Party 8 for $25 each.

Didn't buy much stuff on boxing day...

Staples:

- Logitech MX-620 wireless laser mouse for $20
- Logitech MX-3200 wireless keyboard and laser mouse combo for $30

Zellers:

- Super Paper Mario, Mario Party 8, and Mario Strikers Charged for $25 each.

I got in at Zellers at around 7:40, and they were out of those free wiimote/nunchuk skins. They had around 10-15 of them too when I checked on Monday.

Spent a couple hours at the 2 malls in Richmond. It was like standing room only at FS/BB. Decent eye candy at Richmond Centre though. ;)

Passed up a Toshiba A100-VA9 at Staples. $600, free printer, router, USB drive, T5500, 2GB RAM, Go7600. Killer deal.

The RV's in my area only carried MLB The Bigs, and Harry Potter for PS3.

Got Crackdown for $11.39

That's nothing compared to some of you guys here, but this is my first Boxing Day where I was actually seeking out deals (Plus I'm pretty new to the whole deal seeking thing..Only been lurking here for 2months max now) and it's what I wanted and I ended up getting the last copy at EB, so I'm very happy. Such an amazing game for $12...I love it. Best $12 I've ever spent.

craig64
12-27-2007, 02:04 PM
I didn't really do any Boxing Day shopping, but I'm going to try to see if anything is on sale later today. I did have to get some groceries at SuperStore though, so I managed to get two copies of the Darkness on 360 for $20 each...so that was good. One is a gift for my friend.

Phorty Ounce
12-27-2007, 02:15 PM
Here is my Boxing Day:

RV 2/30

Nothing. It turns out that they did not restock after the sale started on Christmas eve, so they had crap.

EB

Burnout for the Xbox $14.99---I know it is not really a deal, but I needed it to help complete my Burnout collection. This is the first game in the Burnout series and was released in 2001 or 2002, so it is quite rare. I now only need a copy of Burnout 2, so if anyone has it, PM me.

NBA Street Vol. 2 $11.99---Same, for collection purposes.

Stuntman Ignition Sealed $9.99---Hot deal, enough said.


Alas, boxing day is not over for some stores, as they extend it to maybe a week or so. Keep checking your stores for more deals because you never know what will come up.

izaaz101
12-27-2007, 04:51 PM
RV was disappointing for me. Nothing new really was put on the shelves, except some older ps2 games. There was about 7-8 of us who went boxing day shopping, and most of them found games. There was a copy of galaxy, but I let my friend take it, since I already had it.

We went early to Game On, and we got a 50% off coupon for 1 game. I bought Trauma Center: Under the Knife for the DS, $15.

At EB Games I bought a copy of RE4 and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn with a whole bunch of credit I had (about $65). Couldn't see anything I wanted, but next year, some games are definitely catching my attention.

On Monday I hid a few copies of Phantom Hourglass, and went later in the day, so I wouldn't have to wait in that big a line, for 1 game. $20 seems fine for a game of this caliber.

shifty_37
12-27-2007, 06:20 PM
don't tell me mass effect, sonata, and the 2 ps3 games were part of the 2 for $30 deal, cause if it was. DAMN!!!

I got lucky with that deal, just decided to go check out rogers after work and they just pulled them.


Got a 4gb usb stick at FS for $26, not sure if that's a good deal or not and some special sin city dvd for $10.

Best buy burlington had a shipment of Guitar hero III for wii. About 12 or so copies.

vicious7171
12-27-2007, 06:35 PM
Some of these 2/30 deals at Rogers are amazing. I'm not exaggerating when I say the best game at my Rogers is junk like Open Season for the wii. 2/30 on games like skate, bioshock, mass effect, all steals. I would have gone nuts if i found those even for 2/50!

snotnose_colossal
12-27-2007, 07:30 PM
Didn't get any games yet but did spend $145 on comics :D
Glad to see im not the only comic dork around here, what did you get?

I ended up getting a bunch of $10 games from superstore, THP8(360), Rebelstar, FF4, Fire Emblem:sacred stones, FF12, and CoD3 was$20. From RV I picked up PW:T&T/Bleach and Overlord/Tenchu.

There would be so many jokes to be made if it was a GCN in a Wii box.

It's like a Wii, but boxier. Like a Volvo. It makes games safer. :D

Not to be a change of topic right now...but I saved a whopping $0.59 on my copy of COD4 thanks to FS's sweet 1% off week long sale. :S

It was a lame boxing day for me. But I did get South Park season 7 and 8 for $25 at HMV, so I was happy with that. I have had season 1-6 for years, and I never wanted to pony up $45 for season 7, since that's what it's been selling for since it was released. I'm much happier paying what I did.
