[CAN] EBGames: 50% off used games

[Cthulhu8u]

I've edited to highlight the better part of the deal:

EBG has a specific list of used games for GBA, GC, PS2 and Xbox at 50% off. It also has 50% off all used games between $9.99 to $19.99.

Of course, selection limited by store....

There's also a buy 2 get one half off deal on used games.

[Bencherstyle]

wasnt it buy 2 get 1 FREE before?

gee.. ebgames, they must have lost money :/

[Lone_Prodigy]

Yeah this deal is cold as ice. I remember BOG1/2 before.

[jeffx]

blargh.

[Pale-Dim]

it was limited till they realized that most stores only had a handful (literally 1 handful) of these selected games. so they changed it up so that its any used game 19.99 and less would get half priced assuming it was the lowest of the 3 being purchased.

I think they should have left the 2for20 bins out instead

[gamer602]

Such a crap deal I didnt think it deserved a place in the deals forum....

Last year it was Buy 1 get 1 half off..........ALL PLATFORMS......wii/ds/360/ps3

[Cthulhu8u]

Wow. Just because it isn't the greatest deal doesn't mean it shouldn't get a mention! I don't think it's an awesome deal but maybe a title or two may be worth it to someone.

[gamer602]

Dont get me wrong here, but when I saw this on EB'site I was floored that they would put out such a promo.

But, I'm glad someone took the time to post, the more posts, the better!

Actually if you read that flyer closer, all of those specific titles that are listed are just straight 50% off, not B2G1 50% off. There are some good games listed there that I'm sure are available in a lot of stores.

[Bamm]

Those are some pretty nice looking deals on the PS2 list. I've been looking for a deal on the atelier iris series. Growlanser, Ys, Shining Force EXA and Rogue Galaxy aren't bad at these prices either if people have been holding off on getting them for a while.

[Cthulhu8u]

You guys are right, that part about the 50% off is correct. I'd call this deal pretty hot if you can get your hands on those titles. There's a lot of RPGs listed (plus Singstar ABBA, hmmm...). Plus 50% off all $9.99-$19.99 games.

Thanks for not slagging the messenger, Bamm and greywolf501 ;)

[Bencherstyle]

wow, forget what i said earlier. they uypdated the flyer.

50% off? damn!
i need to pick up most of those GBA games,

and are the listed games and 9.99 and 19.99 games have to be new or used? or botyh?

[Cthulhu8u]

Everything in the linked flyer is used

[Lone_Prodigy]

Wow that list is pretty impressive, though I highly doubt I can find a copy of Chibi-Robo and Capcom vs. SNK for GC.

And 50% off all games $9.99-19.99 is mega hot. Too bad most first-party GC games are over $20.

I'm the 'Dexter' of the online slagging business ;)

[halcyon1234]

Fatal Frame II for XBox is on the list. That game's been $39.99 for as long as I can remember. If I find a copy, eeees miiiiiiiiiiiine!

[grumpygrunt]

better than having no deal. the deal just reminded me of getting metal slug for ps2. too bad selection is so small for it.

[jeffx]

It says "get 50% off these games that are regularly 9.99$ or 19.99$", then lists Chibi Robo for GameCube.
Then when you go to EB Games. Chibi Robo IS STILL SCANNING AT 49.99$ USED.

[gamer602]

You can only get those games for half off if you buy 2 other games...

[greywolf501]

That's not what the flyer says, the flyer just says these select titles 50% off

[gamer602]

the flyer may not be clear... But that is the way the system works . Blame EB for me.

[Bencherstyle]

Well at least the games 9.99-19.99 is 50% off, right?..... RIGHT?!

[jeffx]

I guess so. The employee had no clue. I guess you should print it and bring it along.

[Cthulhu8u]

I don't think those listed games are necessarily 9.99-19.99, but it should be 50% off the listed games.

Take the flyer

True, I misread. So a half-demolished Chibi Robo is 25$ now instead of 50$. DEAL OF THE YEAR.

[Lone_Prodigy]

If you can find one, MGS Twin Snakes and Pikmin 2 for GC are $19.99 used.

[gamer602]

where did u see mgs?

[Bencherstyle]

oh, i saw RE4 for 19.99 :D

oh snap, ill take that 50% off :)

[Lone_Prodigy]

where did u see mgs?

That was the price last time I saw a copy. Haven't seen any since.

[Bencherstyle]

went to EB, talked with the manager, manager called HQ, and this is not on,

apparently, the flyer is all focused on buy 2 get 3rd half off on the SELECT TITLES and the 9.99 or 19.99 dollar games

them alone is not 50%. GRRRR

Cold as Ice.

[scourdx]

I wish EB would have the Buy 2 get 1 free like they had in Gamestop US.

[Lockescythe]

i need atelier iris 2 ive never actually seen it in a shop

[jeffx]

A local EB games did NOT want to honor this 50% off 9.99$/19.99$ used games, despite the flyer.
