This years "Game days" sales (remember those 9.89 games?) is running a bit early this year, hopefully a lot of stuff to come, flyer scans will be up on the 3rd, but I am willing to send them for a few good men, regulars only via PM. The rest of you can wait a few days, :)
just be a bit patient with the PMing, i will get back to you guys asap!
join the group! http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...hp?groupid=190 (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/group.php?groupid=190)
Flyer is now live, my crappy scans are no longer needed!

Oh sweet, I thought the Eb game days were only for the US.
I guess I'll go check it out this year. Sadly.. its a few days after report cards, so screwed lol.

Yeah, not sure who qualifies as a regular, heh. If I do, I'd like to see the flyer early too, if possible.
This is pretty exciting, I loved it last time. Wasn't Metroid Prime 3: Corruption 10 bucks for a short time? That price is nuts.

Can't wait, they always have great games for 10 bucks.
Oh, and I don't really know what you meant by "regulars", but I'm interested!

remember the good deals were always the unadvertised ones!

Metroid Prime 3 last year was sick.

Hmm..... post the trade deals seperately!
Bet the Yanks would drool all over!
TronB
04-01-2009, 12:16 AM
Oh, I can't wait for this! And just after I told myself I wouldn't be buying anymore games! As long as all the deals are posted here eventually I can wait...I wonder what's going to be added to my backlog this year. ;)
Bencherstyle
04-01-2009, 12:18 AM
there are unadvertised deals too, right?
EDIT: just saw joshs post....
oh boy! im so thrilled :D
how often does the unadvertised sales on on for?
JnJosh
04-01-2009, 12:22 AM
Yes thats basically the best part of this deal, some things cannot be advertised as they change every other day almost!

04-01-2009, 12:23 AM
And yes, I am refreshing my PM folder. :D

changes daily...
some last for ONE DAY...others ONE WEEK...others THE ENTIRE SALE!

I was wondering if I could get the deals as well?

04-01-2009, 12:24 AM
hmmm. im ganna go to EB like every 2 days. :D
guys, i have a suggestion, if we post the unadvertised deals here... you know whats going to happen, how bout we PM eachother if we find awesome deals?

On which picture does it say about the one day sale?
I can't seem to find it lol.
and the unadvertised sales can only be found in stores?
since being on a flyer = advertised?
TronB
04-01-2009, 12:35 AM
Great, less than a few minutes after posting saying I can wait you guys are making me want to ask for a PM...not sure I qualify as regular though.
But even though the deals won't be posted here, won't RFD find out about all of this stuff eventually?
gamer602

Yup daily drops...not on flyer
Started a thread on RFD>WAS GIVEN PREMISSION.

04-01-2009, 12:35 AM
Thanks so much JnJosh. You need to work on your photography skills though. ;)
Nothing to get too excited about, but the unadvertised deals are where it's at. Lots of trade-in console deals too.
Winkels
04-01-2009, 12:36 AM
I may not post all the time, but I visit everyday? That's regular, right? Right??
Please grace me with your info if you deem me so worthy.
JnJosh
04-01-2009, 12:36 AM
Xeph it is just a given, every game day sale (which is usually later in the year), has had daily or weekly 9.89 games
ex. Trauma Centre wii, metroit prime 3 wii, 9.89 on various days for no apparent reason (well the obvious answer is for the companies to say they sold x amount of copies before a certain date).
If this deal is anything like the past 2 years, daily, bi-weekly game deals for 9.89 / 4.99 used will be on frequently
Edit;
Lone shhh, my scanner wasn't working and my camera was in the red for its battery, i had to point and shoot quick, I also had to write out all the deals because i care about giving them out instead of making you guys squint! heh
gamer602
04-01-2009, 12:41 AM

guys, i have a suggestion, if we post the unadvertised deals here... you know whats going to happen, how bout we PM eachother if we find awesome deals?
Maybe a invite only FACEBOOK group?
Or
we can PM josh and he can everyone?
we'll find a way...
Xeph820
04-01-2009, 12:41 AM
ok thanks for the quick reply.
I hope to check out the eb stores around me then.
Oh, we should do private facebook group or something
JnJosh
04-01-2009, 12:45 AM
the fact is this is a flyer, no point in hiding it when its in effect.
As for the daily deals, its basically you hear about the deal, JUMP on it asap!
Obviously if I hear of anything the day before, I let you guys know, i just wish i knew how to send a mass pm! just like this
name; nextname; nextname2; ? I can do that, if i hear of anything the day before,
but the price changes always happend on the day, not the day prior.

doesnt CAG have like a private faction or something?
Lone_Prodigy
04-01-2009, 12:48 AM
If Josh doesn't mind, I'd be willing to forward it to others here. I suppose the only danger would be a $10 game having a $20 TIV at FS/BBV and having the hoarders flip like crazy. Oh, and the PM stories will be great to see as well.
Time to build up my EB credit again.
EDIT: You can send PM's to 5 people at a time, separated by semicolons.
And look what I found: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/group.php

I'd appreciate getting in on this, I've had the same username for ages both here and RFD and I've never leaked any deals over there. Of course, I don't have much to add here either, but I hop in when I can!
dtp11
04-01-2009, 01:57 AM
Nice/funny seeing so many familiar faces between here, Goozex, RFD, and GameTZ... and that's just going by people who use the same username!
Didn't realize there was so much hate for RFD on here, but I can understand that I guess with all the hoarders and all.
Anyway, here's to my local EB having about 30 copies of Metroid Prime 3 Wii for $9.89 a few weeks ago and me only buying two copies!
I hope there are some good games this year :)

04-01-2009, 02:13 AM
I accepted everyone (I'm an equal-opportunity mod). If you have a big problem with someone(s) let me know via PM.
I'm not going to restrict the group to a specific age/rank before you can join, because that encourages spamming. I will not, however, accept anyone who's joined in the past month (Mar-Apr 2009) and have very little posts. Sorry.

Flyer or not, I would just like to know if there will be any good/decent PS3 games included? The last one didn't have anything all that great on the PS3 side, and I would be glad to know if there are some this time around. Please & thank you. :D
Oh, and Happy April Fool's!

04-01-2009, 03:02 AM
I just wish to know the prices so I can somewhat get an idea if Goomba can import them for me, or if I should send someone to get the games for me at EB.
If I could get the flyer I would greatly appreciate it because the last thing I need is Goomba getting something I don't want price wise (even though I gave him a quote so it shouldn't happen), or sending someone to the EB Games and then texting me all the prices.
I work that day, so I have to kind of tell others what I want.
Please make my day someone :P
Even though it's probably a given I won't get invited to the group or given the flyer :-(

04-01-2009, 03:14 AM
Heh, I could never afford to hoard stuff... I could never afford it the initial price.
P.S.: Does anyone know if there's an EB 10% off coupon, or on the off chance could we use the gamestop one? (20 bucks says the reason companies do the "different names over the borders"is to void coupons like this <_<)
JaredFrost
04-01-2009, 03:21 AM
I hope I can get in on this too, I'm far too cheap to buy games at regular price and all
the good ones are usually taken by the time I figure out whats what.

So, I heard about CAG on a podcast and apparently I already have an account. I know I probably wont get a PM or anything, but what is this game day thing. From what I gather it's a huge sale type thing at EB and Gamestop, but is this in-store only or is it online? How are deals found, it seems like it would be like working through feces to find that roll of quarters your kid swallowed. Any help is much appreciated. If you feel like PM'ing me sweet. If not, no big deal.

We lurkers aren't all bad folks. I take pride in my lurking and really do commit to going the distance. I'm pretty sure my frequent visits to this site will eventually lead to termination of my employment.
I've never once hoarded, either; I don't have that kind of time or money... I just want to score me a solid deal once in a while like everybody else! If you cut me, do I not bleed? If Wii Classic Controllers are on sale, do I not shop?

Alright alright I think I'm caught up with PM's, but if you still want one and i may have passed over a couple people on accident, maybe on purpose! :O
but for real, send me a PM if you want one! I can't go through pages of people coming from under rocks asking one! and don't forget to thank the people who made this possible, yes you guys who are showing up from behind bushes and large trees when you hear the word 'deal'!
The flyer will visibly be up for everyone a day before, or if it goes up on Ebgames.ca I will shortly follow suit.
As said before I cannot stress this part enough
THE BEST DEALS ARE THE UNADVERTISED ONES!
- check daily, i will do my best to update in the morning!
- take the flyer with a grain of salt, yes some things are good deals but the best stuff isn't even in there
- I LOVE GAMEDAYS

Let me get this straight, the group is to receive the flyer earlier than the 3rd? I'm down for it, though I don't have many posts, I have been here for awhile. Also, best possible way to get these deals would be to go to the store to get to know about the unadvertised ones?

This thread will go down in CAG history as the first time that deals are PMed to members rather then posted!

its half why, technically i don't have this flyer, i only found it! no one should get in trouble and in the hands of a few idiots it could mean trouble.
obviously there is nothing stellar in the flyer, a few good deals here and there but we're all waiting for the big daddies, the grand slams, the best deals!

Thanks for the PM.
I'm sort of confused about this language here (taken from OP, so no secrets given away or anything):
"2/20 - 14.99 games
2/30 - 19.99 games
2/40 - 24.99 games"
Does that apply to the GameDays sale items, Used Games, or All Games?
game_fanatic
04-01-2009, 02:00 PM
Yeah I mean there are some decent deals, but not many that the hoarders and flippers can take advantage of. I know personally there's one particular deal for a particular handheld system that I'll be taking advantage of! :)

Josh, just to confirm these are the deals that run all month right? The daily deals are the better ones where you basically got to go to the store to check it out?
And these are also not all the monthly deals?
Only reason I ask his because I noticed Valkryia Chronicles isn't on it among the DMC collection.
P.S.: Does anyone know if a Gamestop coupon would work? That'd be awesome
Thanks for the PM too man, I appreciate it... Now only if I could get in that group
Corizzle
04-01-2009, 07:11 PM
^^^ Gamestop coupons from the States don't automatically register in the system. You could get lucky if you get a nice worker to manual enter the discount in but it's highly unlikely
JnJosh
04-01-2009, 07:12 PM
everything in the flyer will be almost a month long sale unless i noted otherwise, i may have missed something here and there but for the most part its all month long.
the daily deals (if they return this year, quite positive they will) should be better!
unfortunately gamestop coupons most likely will not work unless it specifies canada in the fine print. Thats always been a trade off, we get better prices, they get coupons!
jeffx
04-01-2009, 07:28 PM
OK so there will be daily deals, disregard my message in the group then.
RoganSarine
04-01-2009, 08:00 PM
Well I'm looking for Valkryia Chronicles specifically, although there are things in there that caught my eye.
I don't know if we can get "better prices" because we don't get deals like EVER throughout a year
Tuffdog
04-01-2009, 08:08 PM
hopefully the daily deals are universal for that day, and not by store. If i'm lucky someone would be willing to post them for that day so i don't have to EB and find out i could have saved 20 bucks the day before.
RoganSarine
04-01-2009, 08:10 PM
Hopefully. I have about 4 of my own people checking the stores, so I would like it if Lone would invite me so I could help give input on the daily deals if I find any.

Is there going to be a thread updating all the new unadvertised deals? Also, is there a difference between ebgames and gamestop's GD deals, or is it all the same stuff. Again I'm sorry, I'll go flog myself. :roll:

RFD = RedFlagDeals... Basically a website like CAG but it's full of hoarders who flip their deals for profit. They basically track ANY "good" deal.
I believe you could say it's a search engine for deals, but all the deals are put up by users. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't know if the EB Games and Gamestop deals are the same, you would assume they are but with different prices... but as I said I saw Valkryia Chronicles advertised but it's not in the flyer so I dunno.

RFD is a fine site, the people on it are a joke, most part everyone on there is in it for a good deal but the 1% population is just ridiculous. I don't care if people flip the hell out of something, but save some for people who might want to play it.
Let alone the fact they will gloat online for everyone to see where they know half of the people will frown upon it. my lord some people are so slow it astounds me! (on that site)
But anyway, RFD is a good site, just Cag is a lot better.

RFD is a good site. But a lot of hoarders that kill the deals. I've got no prob with them if the stores have plenty of stock but that not usually the case. Like the HMV gh and rb deals. I saw guys with 5 bundles just for resaleing. I stumbled across cag a few years ago but could never remember the site name. Jsut resently I found it again and it seems the morality level and respect for others is higher. Needless to say cag is bookmarked now on my bb and pc.

Three quick things to say:
(1) Thanks very much for posting this thread! Game Day deals were awesome last year -- Metroid 3, Truama Center, and RE:Umbrella Chronicles were huge scores! Hopefully they'll be some sweet swag priced down this time around too.
(2) Lurkers aren't all bad - sometimes we stay quiet just because we don't have much of value to add... (ok, maybe some of us should try harder.)
(3) On the other hand, hoarders and flip artists who only care about profit do suck. If you don't want a game for yourself (or as a gift, I suppose) then leave it for someone else who does. Too bad not everyone thinks the same way.

What little a good lurker has to add is far more than hoarders, flippers and squatters can ever contribute, so there's no reason to stay quiet. :)

Tales has ben pretty expensive for a while :(TOV has been a steady $59 everywhere I go! I've been in line on Goozex for it for a while now. Can't wait to get it, but I wouldn't expect EB to have it on sale. Got a little discouraged when I found out it wasn't turn based, but then I heard it was good even if you're a turn-based RPG only fan.
As for Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery, those I've seen as low as $29 (or were you looking for a better price than that)? Those games aren't that great I've heard anyway.

I think you mean it's a good website for buying more games than you normally would and not playing any of them because you're too busy with school and oh god why am i on cag when i have a presentation in a few hours must finish slides
Quite true actually but ,vacation is coming up :P

TOV has been a steady $59 everywhere I go! I've been in line on Goozex for it for a while now. Can't wait to get it, but I wouldn't expect EB to have it on sale. Got a little discouraged when I found out it wasn't turn based, but then I heard it was good even if you're a turn-based RPG only fan.
As for Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery, those I've seen as low as $29 (or were you looking for a better price than that)? Those games aren't that great I've heard anyway.
Damn, $29? I ws looking around and found them easily for $40. At $29 I'd totally go for them. Or at least Last Remnant.

BTW, I was quite surprised to see this starts on a Sunday... is that typical?
Nintendo hardware products are always released on Sundays.

I bought SOCOM with headset a few days ago at full price and now they have it on sale at 20 dollars off.
Does EB do price adjustments? I'm kinda pissed about this, whenever I buy something it somehow drops in price almost immediately.

Hey, maybe next time you plan to buy something you could let the rest of us know first? You could be our "crystal ball" of future deals!
Just kidding ... I've had that happen before too, kinda sucks.
