videogamesplus.ca to drop 20 PS3 games to 20$

[jeffx]

Over the next 30 days, VGP.ca will drop 20 different PS3 games to 20$. A new title will be announced on their blog on a daily basis.

http://vgplus.blogspot.com/

They will then be "tossed" into the PS3 bargain bin section (http://www.videogamesplus.ca/default.php?cPath=532_533), which already has over 40 PS3 games @ 20$, so might want to check that out.

Small caveat: keep your orders to one game!! Their shipping rate is kinda messed up. 1 game = 3$, 2 games = 10$... how the fuck does that make sense?!? It should be 5$... not 10$!!! But at least tax is just 5% (though again, WTF does that number come from...)

This sounds like something to follow, although most of their bargain bin games sound like they should be around that price range anyway.

Maybe it's common knowledge, but they do have 2 B&M locations. I've been to the one in Mississauga to pick stuff up. If you live close by, that'll save you on shipping.

[game_fanatic]

The first game to drop in price is "History Channel Civil War: Secret Mission." The price is $59.99 on Futureshop.ca, possibly PM opportunity.

I heard that game is pretty bad but I say trade it in !

[jeffx]

yeah obviously they're trying to get rid of crap games. but there are some very good ones in the bin already.

Those sound like real Canada Post rates. You can sneak single DVD cases through lettermail for $2-3, but anyting thicker than that must go parcel mail which costs about $10. They could possibly slip 2 games side by side in a bubble mailer to squeak it into lettermail. But that's pushing their luck, technically Canada Post doesn't want games in lettermail at all. So be thankful they even do it for single games ;)

[towhytea]

The price on condemnded isn't to bad. Is the second one as good as the first?
I remember playing the first during a thunder storm needless to say I turned all the lights on haha.

point well made, I guess I'm just used to free shipping from amazon.ca

[neksus]

Call and find out.

[game_fanatic]

^^ +1...I've driven past VGP countless times, it's two minutes away from my work...rough area, so be careful.

That's right, people will fuck you up to get their hands on a copy of History Channel: Civil War ;)

Day 3: Endwar (http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=13684)

[Wolfkin]

That's right, people will fuck you up to get their hands on a copy of History Channel: Civil War ;)that joint is serious yo. it's what the streetz have been asking for.

anyway sounds interesting. maybe something i'm interested in will drop. for $20 I'll buy almost anything.

[neksus]

for $20 I'll buy almost anything.

I've got a nice, newly minted, shiny looney you may be interested in.

[addone]

I've got a nice, newly minted, shiny looney you may be interested in.
AMG WANT.

:lol:

[game_fanatic]

Hmm End War is pretty tempting; I'll most likely PM at FS so it'd be $15.99! I doubt it'd get much cheaper than that.

[game_fanatic]

PM successful! Picked up End War for $15.99.

Day 4: Mercenaries 2 (http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=13118)

[Cthulhu8u]

So far, nothing really stands out that I would run out and get for $20. Many of these are that price elsewhere, or should be that price anyway. Maybe we should have a contest to see if we can predict which games will end up on this $20 list.

I predict a last year's generic EA sports game for $20 :D

I'm predicting Resistance: Fall of Man before the month is out.

The current Greatest Hits lineup that isn't already on there seems like very likely candidates.

[addone]

PM successful! Picked up End War for $15.99.

Day 4: Mercenaries 2 (http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=13118)

Aw...Walmart has Mercs2 everyday for $18.98 didn't they? :lol:

[RaisinBran]

Can I price match at any FS 100%? or is it like a 50/50 success rate?

[game_fanatic]

It seems as of late price matching is YMMV. I went into my local FS with the web printout, and the customer service rep said "We don't price match online website (wtf??)" I mentioned VGP has a couple retail stores, which seemed to shut her up, and he checked on an online kiosk, came back and said "no problem" and even gave me the extra 10% without me bitching about it. There's no reason they shouldn't PM if you live somewhat close to the two retail locations (Mississauga or North York) but if you're a decent drive (I'd say more than an hour) they might want to tack on the shipping fee.

[djsaiyan]

Day 5:

NPPL Championship Paintball 2009
http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=15064

[djsaiyan]

Day 6:

SOCOM: Confrontation (Game Only)
http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=14531

[game_fanatic]

those wanting SOCOM might want to spend the extra $20 and get the bundle from EB..not a bad price though

[Cthulhu8u]

Day 6:

SOCOM: Confrontation (Game Only)

Noooooooooooooooooooo.........

[djsaiyan]

those wanting sochi might want to spend the extra $20 and get the bundle from EB..not a bad price though


The bundle is only 39.99 at EB Games?

That's cheaper than buying the headset by itself!

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[game_fanatic]

yep, pg 2 of the flyer! :)

[djsaiyan]

Day 7:

Golden Axe: Beast Rider
http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=12460

[game_fanatic]

Day 8: Dragonball Z: Burst Limit (http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=14076)

[djsaiyan]

Beat me to it hahaha

If you're a DBZ fan it's definitely worth picking up, ESPECIALLY at $20

[game_fanatic]

hehe I think a PM at Future Shop is in order, it's $59.99 there! Makes it $15.99!

[Cthulhu8u]

Beat me to it hahaha

If you're a DBZ fan it's definitely worth picking up, ESPECIALLY at $20
There's even a PSN demo if you're not sure.

I won't buy this one. I don't follow DBZ, so the storyline is all Japanime to me :)

[addone]

Day 9: Fracture (http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=14188)

Note that its $19.99 at FS already...

[djsaiyan]

Fracture was also 9.89 at the Weston and 7 EB Games when I was in to pick up GH:Metallica

Not sure if it's gone back up or not

[game_fanatic]

Day 10: Karaoke Revolution: American Idol Encore Bundle (http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=13748)

[djsaiyan]

That'd be a good buy for people with rhythm games containing vocal tracks that only bought the guitar bundles. You'd have a hard time finding a cheaper USB mic

[game_fanatic]

You could also trade in the game itself for $8.40 at FS, assuming the value is still constant. $15 for a USB mic ain't too bad.

[djsaiyan]

Day 11:

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty
http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=13109

[game_fanatic]

Ugh weak. Man I check the website first thing in the morning, but I'm always too early haha

[djsaiyan]

They post it on Twitter as soon as the site is updated. :-P

[game_fanatic]

I just check their news blog, I was on at about 10am and there was no update, oh well...I'm too quick on the draw, it seems haha

[djsaiyan]

Day 12 was a pretty big one. Saints Row 2.

Unfortunately it was very limited stock they brought in especially for the promotion, and it's already sold out. Aaaaaaand once it's restocked, it'll be back up to $59.99

Shame, I definitely would've picked that one up.

[addone]

I was looking to buy a copy...too bad :(

...at least I think I passed my final, so its not all bad :lol:

[addone]

Today's deal is on 3 (separate) EA games (http://www.videogamesplus.ca/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=ea19.99&search_in_description=1&categories_id=&inc_subcat=1&manufacturers_id=&pfrom=&pto=&dfrom=&dto=&x=10&y=3): Facebreaker, NFS Pro Street and NFS Carbon

[As sourced on their blog (http://vgplus.blogspot.com/2009/04/day-13-ps3-game-price-drop-to-1999-3.html)]

[lustyhitter]

I think there will be one more big one for $19.99. I don't think Saints Row 2 will be the only blockbuster. Imagine if they get Valkyria Chronicles as one of the games.

[addone]

Today's deal is Kane&Lynch. (http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=13500)

[DMPugh]

I tend to think I have a wonderful imagination, but even mine has some limits. ;)

[djsaiyan]

I'd really like to see Heavenly Sword and Folklore go down.

Both were out within a year of the PS3 launch (so they're two years old) and yet both continue to sit at 59.99 (though I have seen Folklore slightly cheaper)

Hell Heavenly Sword meets all the Greatest Hits criteria, and if the numbers I've seen on Folklore are accurate, it's pretty close as well.



Valkyria Chronicles would be sweet too, but I don't see that happening.

[exolstice]

I've been waiting on Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted to drop in price.

[addone]

It'd totally make sense for Heavenly Sword, Ratchet&Clank and Uncharted to drop in price...here's to hoping one of those will be tomorrow! :D

[djsaiyan]

Oh yeah, can't believe I forgot Uncharted.

That needs a price cut, especially with a sequel on the way.

Drop the price to get more people playing the original, get them wanting the sequel, more money all around. It's just smart business!

[addone]

Today's deal is Lost Planet: Extreme Condition (http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=13842)

[djsaiyan]

Hrmm....I've thought about picking up Lost Planet as it looked interesting

Anybody played it? Any good?

[game_fanatic]

If you have an Xbox 360, get the Xbox 360 Colonies Edition. Otherwise, I'd skip it. It's pretty buggy for the PS3, apparently.

[neksus]

The achievements are glitched in the 360 version. I'm pretty sure at least one is impossible to get, for what it's worth.

[addone]

Today's "deals" are:
Call of Duty 3 (http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=12019)
Fifa Street 3 (http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=13677)

[Zyzomys]

I purchased Army of Two for the PS3 at Wal-mart for $18.83 a couple of weeks ago. It is in the discount bin.

[djsaiyan]

I wonder what they've got planned for the final day.

Hopefully something big, like Saints Row 2 last week

Yeah, a bunch of the stuff VGP had on sale is at Walmart for $18.93, so save the shipping ;)

I wonder what they've got planned for the final day.

I've been pretty disappointed, every morning. The one day I studied really hard in the morning was the day they put up an epic deal like that. I tried studying real hard this morning, but the deal wasn't that great in the end. Ergo, studying and deals are two independent events... ah!!!!!:-#

[addone]

An announcement:
Last day of 20 game 20 day PS3 game price drop promotion to $19.99. Todays game will be a COLLECTOR EDITION with a minimum of 40pcs in stock. It will be a limited time special while quantities last. Price will go back up on this item when promotion ends!! It will be sold 1 Per customer stay tuned later this morning for our announcement!!

With that said...with RFD and CAG anticipating, its probably going to sell out faster than SR2.

[tonypotenza]

ill be on it like Michael Scott on a new temp !

[addone]

For some odd reason, it suddenly feels like its gonna be a bad Collector's Edition...like Spiderman 3 or Stranglehold.

[djsaiyan]

I don't think they'd make such a big deal about it if it was something crappy.

I hope.

[game_fanatic]

It better not be Fallout 3; I just bought the Collector's Edition at TSCC for $50 lol. Browsing their website, there's not much it could be. Fallout 3, Prince of Persia, MGS4, Smackdown vs Raw '09...any others?

[djsaiyan]

Resistance 2 maybe

KZ2 is another possibility but that's a long, long, LONG shot


If it was Fallout 3 I'd finally pick it up

The lack of DLC or patch to make the game not end irks me greatly but at $20? Can't go wrong there.

[addone]

Hrmm...Battlefield Bad Company Gold? That could be considered CE yeah?

...unless they specifically put titles they list.

[game_fanatic]

They don't list either of those games on the website, though...is it possible they will add the game into the product line once it goes on sale?

[djsaiyan]

I don't see why they couldn't

[addone]

If we're basing on what they have...then GTA4 could be another possibility. But if they're selling it at $90 right now...then $26 [with taxes & shipping], lol...

...but I guess that's how they'd celebrate 20 years! :D

[djsaiyan]

I would definitely pick that up, even though I already have GTA4.

[game_fanatic]

Hmm the shipping would only be $9.99, so $29.98 + tax is still an amazing deal. If you have GTA4, sell the game for $20 and you're golden!

[sh10151]

At what time does the deal typically go up?

[djsaiyan]

It varies. It's gone up at various times between now and noon, but always in the morning

[djsaiyan]

Too bad they don't do in-store pickup.

A bus that goes right past their North York store is literally a minute walk from my house

[game_fanatic]

yeah I could definitely swing by on my way to work and grab one too...damn shame

[djsaiyan]

It's Quantum of Solace

I guess I'll pass on the 007. Off topic: Anyone else who got Saint's Row 2 need a coop partner? Please add me on psn: karmafeed I played it on xbox already and don't want to do all of this stuff by myself again.

[exolstice]

Still a good deal.

[tonypotenza]

disappointing :(

[tonypotenza]

i was dreaming it could be RE5 collectors :P

[djsaiyan]

Still a good deal.


Not really. It's not a very good game at all. $20 is about what it's worth tbh, and the collector's edition stuff is medicore

[tonypotenza]

btw is there anyway to change the CAG theme ?, black is horrendous :(

[djsaiyan]

Click User CP at the top of the page and look around for skin settings

[tonypotenza]

theres only iphone and mobile and another one that dosent seem to be doing anything... black is hurting my eyes :P

[tonypotenza]

that was quick lol sold out !

[djsaiyan]

Saints Row 2 sold out faster =P

[Wilme]

sold out? WOW...I'm surprised!

[exolstice]

[addone]

$19.99 + $2.99 shipping +13% tax = $25.58

Note: Shipping cost changes when you're out of GTA.

[game_fanatic]

They only had 40 copies, I'm not surprised one bit they sold out. If I had a couple more bucks I might've grabbed it just for shits and giggles.
