[Canada]Rogers Video 2/40: April Edition

[Lone_Prodigy]

It's in this month's eplus: 2/40 from Apr. 1-30.

I checked out the Oak and 15th, Arbutus and Broadway, and 39th and West Boulevard. Most notable titles were Halo 3, Eternal Sonata, Warriors Orochi, Jericho, and Soldier of Fortune (PS3).

Also, preorder GTAIV and get exclusive gamer pics and a $70 gamers pack (probably coupons.) Costs $5.00

Get an additional Wii steering wheel (in various colours) with the purchase of Mario Kart Wii.

[TheBigBoi]

So is this turning into a monthly sale now?

[poiuiu]

Too bad my local Rogers is 3 out of 7 flavours of ass.

[Firestorm]

I can't afford any games, but I'll check 'em out for you guys!

[Encrypt]

I love this promo, I checked out my local Rogers tonight and picked up the following

Uncharted: Drake's Fourtune (PS3)
Turok (360) had sticker that said no manual, but I asked the clerk and I was able to get one :-)
Dragon Quest: Swords (Wii)
Bully: Scholarship Edition (Wii)

Turok looks like the only one I will keep, Uncharted, DQ: Swords are on there way to goozex for points (I own them already) and if Bully goes up in value on Goozex it will be headed there aswell, if not it will be part of a trade 3 get 1 free at ebgames, I love these deals, and my rogers usually keeps everything in good enough condition for trading

[magiic]

I grabbed Conflict Denied Ops for 360 and MLB 08 The Show for PS3 both are complete and in good shape. Will probably play both for a bit then goozex them. Let me know if anyone wants to trade something for them

[gamer602]

YAY!

2 copies of SMASH BROS!!!

1 for me,
1 for my friend!

[craig64]

I might have to go check this out.....I hope it's actually on here, and I hope they have decent games.

[magiic]

I might be able to get another copy of Turok if someone wants to trade for it.

[mkay]

I PM'ed you Magiic, in case you haven't noticed. I wished we had Rogers Video where I live.

[Phorty Ounce]

YAY!

2 copies of SMASH BROS!!!

1 for me,
1 for my friend!

Flippin' hell, it hasn't even been out for a full month yet. Even so, why are the managers pulling such a red-hot game for the Wii?

WE NEED TO FIND DETAILS ON THIS!

[magiic]

it's not that red hot at mine. I wouldn't be suprised if I saw it sometime this month

[gamer602]

it's not that red hot at mine. I wouldn't be suprised if I saw it sometime this month
yea its no that great........MK will be better....only 3 more weeks

[Lone_Prodigy]

yea its no that great........MK will be better....only 3 more weeks

I think you just set off a fire storm with that remark. ;)

Man you guys are getting such good stuff. I remember two copies of Galaxy when I went by last week, but they were gone already.

[magiic]

I might grab Geometry Wars Wii next time I stop by and maybe the other copy of turok

[cliffclaven2]

No Rogers Video where I live, but I'm heading to Courtenay BC tomorrow, so I'll stop in there. Do the games usually come complete and in decent shape?

usually they are in good shape
if they dont come with a manual you can usually ask for one

[Lockescythe]

meh bully+and swords and the brawl people.

I'm gonna go hunting tomorrow and get jack.

Just watch.

[Blair77]

Does anybody in Winnipeg know which Rogers stores are good for this deal?

The one on Meadowood never seems to have anything.

[craig64]

Damn! I really want to go and check today, but for some reason there's a blizzard in Edmonton right now. :S I kinda want to risk it.....but I don't know. It's probably not worth it, but I really want to see.

[magiic]

haha a blizzard
that's awesome

it's like 12 degrees outside here right now :)

[canuck016]

Just checked a few of the Rogers locations in Oakville for PS3 games. Upper Middle and 3rd line, upper middle and trafalgar, and on cornwall just east of trafalgar. They all had crap, someone cleaned the one on Cornwall out last night.

ugggggg its on RFD too.

the hoarders are going to have a field day....why post it there?

[TheBigBoi]

Gonna check the one near my school in a few hours. Will report back.

[Lone_Prodigy]

ugggggg its on RFD too.

the hoarders are going to have a field day....why post it there?

Friday night and weekend, where it's quieter on RFD. I posted after hitting up all my local Rogers, plus most stores were cleared out a couple weeks ago. It would've been up eventually: someone already posted the GTAIV deal in a separate thread.

[craig64]

I went to the Capilano one in Edmonton, and they had a few decent games. I picked up Frontline, and my friend picked up MLB 2k8....we dind't so much like MLB, but they both trade in for $33 at EB, so if either suck I'm not too worried.

[TheBigBoi]

I checked the flyer when I got there and saw nothing advertised in it. But either way, there was literally no selection (I think the newest game was probably NFS Pro Street). However, on a side note, they had a couple of bins with DVDs in them marked 2/$6, and they had lots of TV show DVDs (eg. Seinfeld, The Shield, CSI). The only thing that sucked for me was that the seasons of Seinfeld they had there were incomplete.

[Lockescythe]

I decided not to even go look. Instead I pricematched Veronica Mars Season Three at bestbuy (future shop 29.99 best buy 55.99) and ended up getting it for 27$.

That was cool.

[bs000]

Northtown Edmonton

That's all the decent titles I can remember from the top of my head. Didn't pick anything up cause I either had them or wasn't that interested. There was a hole in my shoe and it's pretty slushy outside so all I got out of it was a wet sock. :cry: Did you see anything else at Capilano craig64?

I checked the flyer when I got there and saw nothing advertised in it.

It's in a little box in the lower right corner of page 19. I almost missed it too but it's there :P

[dave17]

well I've half given up on the rogers near me... but I'll pay 30$ if anyone happens to find dmc4 or lost odyssey

[magiic]

I grabbed MLB2k8 :360: today and Turok :360:

[craig64]

Hey BS000, I must've went to North Town just before you did....I found Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles and Metroid Prime! I was so happy with that. Woots.

[Firestorm]

Well obviously Brawl is a candidate for being pulled. I mean, who'd rent it. Everyone has it!
Except crazies of course. You crazy crazies.

[TtotheE]

Nothing really at mine unless anyone wants Conflict Denied Ops or Geometry Wars Galaxies.

[Lockescythe]

man im gonna go out wed and beg all 4 rv near me to pull brawl. lol

worked for galaxy.

[Kekumba]

well I've half given up on the rogers near me... but I'll pay 30$ if anyone happens to find dmc4 or lost odyssey

Which locations (might save me some time lol)?

[Nesmaster]

Thanks bs000, grabbed some things from Clairview and North Town. The North Town Assassin's Creed CD was cracked, so I grabbed two of the Mass Effects instead (1 left) and grabbed Tony Hawk's PG as filler to go along with the copy of Galaxy. Also picked up Metal Slug anthology for the Wii, priced at $19.99. ;)

Grabbed KUF, Dirt, Conflict, and Skate (as filler) from Clairview. Skate is trashed though, it'll likely be returned or just taken to BBV. No manuals for any of the games at this location, pissed me off. :(

[bs000]

Thanks bs000, grabbed some things from Clairview and North Town.

:bouncy:

Hey BS000, I must've went to North Town just before you did....I found Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles and Metroid Prime! I was so happy with that. Woots.

Oh yea I remember seeing Metroid Prime too. Don't know how I forgot about that lol.

Went to Clairview again today. Nothing new. Mass effect and Bioshock are still there for 360. And Assassin's Creed (PS3) x2. I saw in the rental section there was a big bulging stack of Turok so they'll probably pull some of those this week. Been waiting to get Turok but don't want to pay full price. :P

If they do pull some Turok you should let us know. I'd love to pick it up for $20, but I don't really want to spend much more than that. I'll probably check Capilano tomorrow or Thursday, so I'll let you all know if I find anything worthwhile.

[magiic]

My Rogers has pulled two Turoks so far. One was complete other was missing manual and both were in very good condition. I traded with the missing manual one on goozex and kept the other.

[magiic]

Today I got...

Sonic & Mario :wii:
Front Lines Fuels of War :360:
Devil May Cry 4 :360:
Condemned 2 :360:
Kingdom Under Fire :360:
Turok :360:
MLB 2k8 :360:
Lost Odyssey :360:

I could of gotten Army of Two as it got pulled for 360 but unfortunately one of the staff guys researched it earlier in the week and had one of the guys hold it for him. I'm hoping I can grab a copy next wednesday.

[marsteam]

well I've half given up on the rogers near me... but I'll pay 30$ if anyone happens to find dmc4 or lost odyssey

I guess you are looking for a 360 version, but I did see the DMC4 PS3 version at the Rogers yesterday afternoon at Montreal Rd/River Road in Vanier....

I was going to get it, but I couldn't find a 2nd game that I liked.

[danthemightyone]

Just like last month, Bank & Hunt Club and Bank & Gilmour locations are NOT running the promo again. So don't even bother these two places.

Anyone care to share other Ottawa location info?

[Lockescythe]

Torontos more or less completly horrible today.

Called a bunch of locations and noone pulled anything.

[EvilMario]

Torontos more or less completly horrible today.

Two of the Rogers that ever had anything downtown (Ossington and Collegeish, and Roncesvalles locations) are/have closed. It is very, very sad.

Kanata Centrum is hit or miss. They tend have a decent selection right at the start, but seem to slack off on pulling more games. BUT.. Another thing I've noticed, when the sale isn't on they have a great selection, but once it starts that can quickly change. I'm there right when the sale starts every single time, so maybe their employees take some stuff, who knows.

Another Kanata location that I just can't think of the street name right now (down past Hazeldean mall), but it's in a little plaza by a Shopper's. Pretty much the same as the Centrum location, really. They generally always have a decent selection, with multiple copies of each game. They're also good about pulling stuff if you ask them. The lady told me to come back in a week or two for Bully and they'd give it to me.

Merivale has always been trash to me. They run it, but it's all PS2, and Xbox games for the most part. Their staff didn't help me much either.

Other than that, a few other locations that I can't exactly remember right now (maybe Carlingwood?) all do the sale, and it just depends when you get there.

That's about all I can think of right now, I'm a bit distracted by the hockey on TV and can't really remember where everything is and what the store is like.

[Lockescythe]

yeah I remmeber going into roncevalles once and seeing Galaxy. Except I actually left for someone else cause I had bought myself a copy the week before.

Shame that its gone.

Ossington college was across the road from a blockbuster. Really bad location killed that one I think.

[TtotheE]

I got GOW Chains of Olympus at the rogers near me. Got Brawl as filler but I already have it so I'll most likely send it off to Goozex.

[Lockescythe]

where you located t to the e?

[TtotheE]

On Vancouver Island. Nanaimo to be more specific.

[Lockescythe]

ah. was gonna offer to buy SSBB off you if you were local. Sadly you're about as far away from me in canada as someone can be. *is in ontario*

[Lone_Prodigy]

On Vancouver Island. Nanaimo to be more specific.

Man you and magiic have the entire island to yourselves. ;)

[magiic]

Man you and magiic have the entire island to yourselves. ;)

he's got upper, I've got lower :)

[poiuiu]

Damn you two. Damn you two to hell and back!

:(

[Lockescythe]

I have toronto. On which I have to contend well with 3/4 of RFD hoarders. *cries*

Though no brawls were pulled this week so maybe next week *crosses fingers and gets phone ready*

[magiic]

I'm pretty sure I'll see a brawl pulled next week and possibly another Army of Two

[kento951]

can anyone confirm this in winnipeg...? my main one im looking for is on pembina

[Firestorm]

Selling or Trading
Sealed Super Smash Bros. Brawl - $40
Rogers Video NHL 08 - $25

Want
Lost Odyssey (mint if for Brawl, Rogers if for NHL)

edit; wait wrong thread.

In on-topic news, Victoria & 41st has nothing.

[Phorty Ounce]

Picked up Lost Oddessey and Mario Galaxy. Anyone want them?

[bs000]

Nothing new at Northtown or Clairview today. Mass Effect, Bioshock, and Assassin's Creed (PS3) are still sitting at Clairview though. Mass Effect, Mario Strikeres Charged, Trauma Center Second Opinion at Northtown.

[TtotheE]

he's got upper, I've got lower :)

The upper consists of one, maybe two, Rogers Videos that don't take over an hour to get to. Oh well, my Rogers is usually great with their pulls.

Oh, and I just got a stamina battery pack from Rogers for 1.99. It scanned in at that price too so you might want to check it out.

[craig64]

Mario Strikers is still there, eh? I might be tempted to go pick it up...but we'll see. I went to Capilano last night and they definitely haven't pulled anything recently. The closest thing they had to a good game was Geometry Wars Wii and Batallion Wars 2...

[Lockescythe]

I <3 Rogers Video. Picked up Spyro (MEH) and


BRAWL!!!!!

Then I went to game centre in atrium and sold my copy of Spyro for 20$ cash.

So yay 25$ Brawl.

Looks almost brand new too.

[TtotheE]

Picked up Hot Shots Golf Out of Bounds for PS3 and MLB 2k8 for 360. Not too sure I want MLB, anyone want it?

[magiic]

Today I picked up...
Army of Two :ps3:
Call of Duty 4 :ps3:
Super Smash Bros Brawl :wii:
Super Swing Golf :wii:

[bs000]

Anyone in Edmonton see anything lately? I've been feeling discouraged and don't want to go out of my way anymore to make it to Rogers lol.

[craig64]

I'm going to check Downtown and Capilano tomorrow...so long as nothing get's in the way of my plans. I'm getting discouraged too...nothing new last week.

[Lone_Prodigy]

You guys are so lucky. I'm finding squat.

[catalyst777]

I've checked downtown, capilano and millwoods in a past few days. nothing really good at all. I think all the rogers in edmonton have wised up and began to stock fewer copies of each game.

[craig64]

Picked up Hot Shots Golf Out of Bounds for PS3 and MLB 2k8 for 360. Not too sure I want MLB, anyone want it?

I played a bit of MLB and I wasn't terribly impressed. If I were you I'd just take it to EB, because it's trading in for $33 now. My friend picked up a copy from 2/$40 and he took his in. Easy $13 right there.

[thelostdude]

You guys are so lucky. I'm finding squat.
You guys are so lucky to even have rogers selling video games unlike mine which sells peanuts. :cry:

[craig64]

I just checked Downtown (Edmonton), and the selection was quite slim...but better than any other time I've been there. They had Conan (360) and Manhunt 2 (Wii), but those were probably the best they had. Others I can think of off the top of my head are Puzzle Quest (Wii), Jericho (360), Juiced 2 (360)....but that's really about it. Not a whole lot going on there. I might check Capilano tonight....but we'll see.

[Lone_Prodigy]

You guys are so lucky to even have rogers selling video games unlike mine which sells peanuts. :cry:

Yeah, 2/40 on peanuts is pretty cold. ;)

[craig64]

I was just at Capilano and I picked up Turok (360) and Devil May Cry 4 (360). :D I'd be willing to trade DMC4 though, if anyone's interested. I'd love Lost Odysee if anyone wanted to trade that, or Army of Two. The disc is practically mint too...a few minor scratches.

As for what else they had, it was pretty slim, but a few good ones. Stranglehold (360), Blazing Angels 2 (360), Avatar (360), and a few others. For Wii there was Geometry Wars Galaxies and Battalion Wars 2...but that's about it, and there was nothing worth mentioning for PS3. On DS there was Final Fantasy Ring of Fates...but I didn't know how it was so I didn't pick it up....and because I got Turok and DMC4 :D

[Phorty Ounce]

Craig I have a copy of LO but you have a list I could look at? Or...COD4? lol

[bs000]

[thelostdude]

Well i mean they dont even sell video games at mine

[collector42]

I've checked downtown, capilano and millwoods in a past few days. nothing really good at all. I think all the rogers in edmonton have wised up and began to stock fewer copies of each game.I haven't found anything good in Edmonton for 4+ months. Quite discouraged. Either hoarders or staff are snatching up the good stuff. I've been told point blank "listen, there are like, four gamers who work here--I wouldn't get my hopes up" by staff. Ugh.

[magiic]

Does anyone want to trade for a copy of MArio Galaxy?

[craig64]

I'm just curious if anyone knows, but if a location had a copy of Rock Band (just the game on the shelf) for sale, that would be without the controllers....right? Or do you think they'd include the controllers as well?

[magiic]

I'm just curious if anyone knows, but if a location had a copy of Rock Band (just the game on the shelf) for sale, that would be without the controllers....right? Or do you think they'd include the controllers as well?

it would be by itself because the game retails by itself without the controllers

[craig64]

Oh, it does? Well I guess you learn something new every day. It would've been awesome to get it 2/$40 if that was possible with the controllers. I figured it would be too good to be true anyways.

[Nesmaster]

Capilano location: Nothing of major interest, but I picked up Blazing Angels 2 and Spiderwick Chronicles.

[SumDumRetard]

Picked up Dead Rising, Eternal Sonata, Mario and Sonic at the Olympics and Table Tennis, not a bad deal. They still had RE: Umbrella but I figure it'll go down soon enough.

[magiic]

did you check your receipt? Table Tennis should be priced at $9.99 which means it may have added $10 to your bill.

[TtotheE]

I picked up FF crystal chronicles for ds, frontlines fuel of war, bully(wii) and dark sector today. there was a lot more decent games if anyones near nanaimo.

[magiic]

Today I grabbed...

Hot Shots Golf Out of Bounds :ps3:
God of War Chains of Olympus :psp:
Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword :ds:
MLB Power Pros :wii:
Stranglehold :360:
Condemned 2 :ps3:

[craig64]

I checked North Town and Claireview today and they had nothing worth noting at either location. I'll see what's at Capilano tomorrow when I pick up Mario Kart.

[magiic]

We really lucked out with april, we still have one more pull on the last day of the month :)

[Lockescythe]

I was happy with my brawl for this month.


That was awesome.

[Kekumba]

Still haven't went out and looked this month. No real need to, I had a good haul at the end of March, GTAIV next week, might as well just wait until next time....and here's to hoping that it's a 2/$30! ;)

[TtotheE]

Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword :ds:
MLB Power Pros :wii:
Stranglehold :360:
Condemned 2 :ps3:

I'm happy with my finds but dammit magiic, I hate you for this. jk

[magiic]

I was the most happy about Hot Shots Golf and Power Pros

[TtotheE]

I was the most happy about Hot Shots Golf and Power Pros

I love hot shots golf but when I got power pros in the 2/30 I can't say I liked it very much.

[spursbob]

Capilano location: Nothing of major interest, but I picked up Blazing Angels 2 and Spiderwick Chronicles.

I didn't get Blazing Angels 2 but despite the reviews I really enjoyed the demo. The dog fighting was nice and it is good to be up in the air for more than 30 seconds (I'm looking at you Warhawk).

[magiic]

W00t final day and a pull day. Not sure what I really want but hopefully somehting good pops up. My hope is lots gets pulled to make room for GTAIV

[TtotheE]

Signs were down at my RV. I was disappointed so I didn't even look what else there was.

[magiic]

I grabbed

Dark Sector
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 :ps3:
