You know the drill. All used games are 2 for $40. I've got a report of it happening in a Calgary store on RFD and Ontario store on GAF.
Battle stations everyone?

Yep, it's on. Picked up Condemned 2 and The Simpsons, both 360, in Guelph today. They were pretty much the only things there worth mentioning, other than 360 R6V2 (39.99 or 49.99), PS3 Orange Box (19.99) and Katamari Damacy (19.99). Other semi-big titles were Lair, Turning Point, and Turok.

Killer deals in Calgary, check out the Rogers on 52nd street. Got Burnout Paradise (360) and Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3) for $40. Saw Super Smash Bros Brawl and one more copy of Metal Gear 4 there as well.

Back on Wednesday I grabbed GTA4 and Ninja Gaiden 2 from the Calgary 17th Ave SE store. I'll be heading back soon to hopefully grab Civilization.

When did this happen? I was there last night and they wanted 35 for it used.

same here...it can't be that cheap !

He probably means Burnout Revenge, or one of the older Burnouts. There's no way Paradise is that cheap...but if it is, run and pick it up!

I need mine to do some 2/$40
Great stuff at mine. I want Lego Indy!
Found Bioshock and GTA IV 360 at my local one. Not interested in either though.

Not on... I guess it's a good thing because I really didn't have $160 to speed anyway.

It is on but only at select locations, the guy i talked to at my store (Unicity in Winnipeg) said their manager had to request it so it was a special weekend sale for stores that asked for it. Got battlefield bad company and lost odyssey though for 360 :)
thanks op!

Called the one in Kitchener, Ottawa and River, they had it, walked over there but didn't find much, picked up Alone in the Dark (360) and Kung Fu Panda (360) figured I would try them out and then flip them for something else on Goozex or EBgames trade 3
there is a flyer on the website from June showing this deal, maybe next one is August...bi-monthly?

07-27-2008, 05:23 PM
correct, there was an official promotion in June

The two stores in Kanata (Ottawa region) said that nope, the sale isn't on.

Both stores in Toronto on Yonge street near St. Clair aren't running it unfortunately. Otherwise I'd have DMC4 and Ninja Gaiden 2 right now.

Fixed for lols.
And 2/40 on at Stratford, ON location. Have lots of GTA's and some AA titles.

I might have to go to the local one near my house and see what they have, probably going to go tomorrow after work. Hopefully they'll still have some good stuff. :O

Waterloo Stores:
Northfield/Weber: MGS4, AitD Wii, bunch of older stuff
Bridgeport/Weber: Nothing except Heavenly Sword if that's still considered good?

Its on in Burlington but as usual there is nothing. I checked PS3, 360 titles to find anything worth 2/40 and nothing.

Yea, a couple weeks ago I went during the last 2/40 sale, I wanted to get GTAIV and something else. Unfortunately they had absolutely nothing else I wanted, so I picked up 2 copies of GTAIV and traded 1 in back when it was still worth $40 at EB.

Picked up Lego Indiana Jones and Condemned 2 (both 360) from the Windsor Dougall location. Nothing else of note left, except for a Mass Effect and Guitar Hero 2.

Oakville store, Upper Middle Road, had nothing as usual. The gems among the crap were DMC3 and (to a lesser extent) Heavenly Sword. And with DMC just having a price drop, we're looking at very little.

Anyone have a report of the games (360) at some of the Nova Scotia (HRM) ones? I don't go out there often, so I'd like to know before I go.

I have confirmation that ALL $9.99 marked titles are 20% off as well. Not a bad deal.
I picked up Fire Emblem Path of Radiance for $9.04 using the discount.

So everything tagged $9.99 will scan at $7.99?

I think so, I saw this sign at a local Rogers (now that the 2/40 is over)

Correct, and that includes both last gen and current gen games.

17th Ave SE has Lego Indy, but the sale is over.

Got a Rogers flyer today, and it's from July 29 - Aug. 11: 20% off all $9.99 used games and DVDs.

Or even a 2/$30. Man remember last year when they had it around this time? I went ape shit when I found out they were having the sale.
I think we are long overdue for the 2/30 sale, no? lol.

Oh yeah. But, of course, my Rogers had nothing good on the shelf then since Christmas + hoarders + last minute shoppers = no good games left.

I fucking hated Boxing Day at my Roger's, the guy from my area who clears out every game/video store on a weekly basis of anything profitable beat me to the store and had a stack of about 100 games on the counter and they were even going around the store pulling games that he had printed out. I asked if they would pull a couple for me and the girl flat out said no, that guy is a special case because he will clean out the store and they do him a favour for it, imagine that, a total hoarder that they cater to while saying "Fuck You" to everyone else. This guy is known on a first name basis with every store clerk around here and pretty much makes a living from it so it's hard to find anything good around here these days.

Burlington update:
Snagged a few titles at Appleby and New... AITD, Dark Sector, NG2, MGS4, GTAIV, SSBB all 360 except MGS4 and SSBB, duh. Keeping the first 3, others will go for trade/sale. I figured I'd break even on the trades plus a few bucks to pay for my Madden 08 CE preorder at EB.
Walkers and New had nothing and not planning anymore pulls.

my eb is having a 2 for 30 sale but it totally sucks, pretty much just regular xbox titles, a few 360 tony hawk games and some shitty psp and ds games.

Same! I went yesterday and they had a wicked selection (Alone in the Dark, Lego Indy... I didn't look too much because I knew the sale wasn't on), so it sucked that there wasn't a 2/$40.
