[Azumangaman]

Oh wow.
I was going to call BS until I saw the flyer.
But its there.
I'll probably get both PSP games, the Kings Of Leon CD and of course, Infamous.

[dancrane212]

Thanks for the heads up, Patipon 2 is a steal at $10. Infamous at $30 is also fantastic. This balances out the 360 specific Futureshop deals, still would love an Uncharted sale though.

Thanks Again.

[game_fanatic]

What sort of game is Patapon? Never took notice of it before, but for $10, I may try it out.

[Hockridge]

It's a rhythm based strategy game where you make commands to the beat of a drum.

[Lockescythe]

Kings of leon is 9.99 at futureshop right now.

[imcrazy]

Wow Best Buy Corp is actively pursuing the game market. First the Future shop crazy sales and trade ins and now this (along with best buy taking trade ins soon as well).

[Pat_McCrotch]

inFAMOUS for $29.99? Definitely gonna buy that.

[Shazbot]

I will be getting inFAMOUS for that price.

[Kekumba]

inFAMOUS for sure.. kind of wish it was a week or two earlier, but nonetheless, great deal.

[gamer602]

duh...

Buy it now people...and keep the receipt...

[musdy]

Not enough 360 games deals but Infamous at that price is solid.

[Firestorm]

O.O
getting infamous

[Pavel6969]

Damn I wish there was a BB in my area. Wonder if FS will price match it anyways.

[thegamecubist]

I'm kinda tempted for that Wireless Adaptor with the controller...I'd be willing to pay that much, especially when taking the cheap-ass route (using the original Xbox wireless adaptor) means havng to set my network to WEP. Also Patapon and Resistance :)

[Afrodiziak]

Hmmm I could buy a PS3 for $430 and it would come with Infamous, MGS4, and Resistance? Damn... I might be buying myself a PS3 that week.

[Zeitgeist]

Yeah the PS3 deal is tempting when looking at the price of the games that come with it. This is actually a great bundle for PS3 (for once)

[Lone_Prodigy]

wut's the TIV of Patapon 2?

[snuter]

Paptapon 2 is for download only. The retail box has a voucher to download it via PSN. Kinda like they did with GTA4: lost & damned. It was a way to test the market for the PSP Go. In other words, no TIV.

[saiftk]

It says June 30 -July 2 for inFamous. So I buy it now and then PM later? Can I open it in the mean time...?
What are you guys planning?

[addone]

Theoretically you can buy it and play it now (keeping the receipt), then when the sale drops head into BB (with your receipt) and scream "DA PRICEZ FALLED. WTF! WHERE MAH MONEY AT!!! GIMME MAH MUNNIES!!!!".

Link to BB's price guarantee policy is included below...which should be honoured, unless inFamous is completely sold out?

I'm pretty sure inFamous will be sold out during June 30 - July 2. They won't PM if it's sold out. Then the price will go back up to 70$ on July 3rd...I don't think you can price match after the sale ends...So wouldn't your best bet be to try and get it on June 30?

[ragnar14]

No. It'll be half impossible to get when the sale is live. Just keep it sealed if you're worried about them not doing price protection, then you can return it if need be. Also, you should be able to buy your returned copy then :lol:

That is an option for sure...just keep it in your car or bag/whatever. The only issue would be if they put returned items on a "Do Not Touch" cart or something similar to that which prevents you from buying it back immediately. Reminds me of one of the TRU deals when I first came on CAG...haha

[Firestorm]

Yeah the PS3 deal is tempting when looking at the price of the games that come with it. This is actually a great bundle for PS3 (for once)The Future Shop deal a few weeks ago was far better. $350 for what were more expensive good games =P

Paptapon 2 is for download only. The retail box has a voucher to download it via PSN. Kinda like they did with GTA4: lost & damned. It was a way to test the market for the PSP Go. In other words, no TIV.He was being sarcastic ;)

[webrunner]

I just got a PS3, so this inFAMOUS deal is very tempting.. I played the demo and had a lot of fun

[lustyhitter]

Hopefully you'll all be able to buy inFamous when it goes on sale. It's a superb game. I already have it so I won't be buying it.

[Cthulhu8u]

If you want to benefit... you could trade it in now/Kijiji/private sale now for max TIV and buy it during the sale? Just a thought.

[matsam]

Crazy, I was ready to wait a year for inFamous to be that price! Patapon and R:R are at a good price too, although I don't like the idea of paying 10 bucks for a game case with no UMD in it (Patapon). Resistance Retribution is great, especially if you own Resistance 2 for PS3. The PSP Plus tech they implemented in this one allows the two games to communicate and you can end up play the PSP game with the DualShock3. For those of you who've wanted to play PSP shooters with a 2nd analog stick, here's your chance! :P

I can't really do that. I love playing inFamous right now and there's no guarantee I'll snag a copy during the sale. It's not worth the risk.

Better to buy the Lady GaGa CD so I can toss it into the fire and hope she gets hit by a car or something.

[game_fanatic]

Picked up my copy of inFAMOUS yesterday morning, as well as price matched Prince of Persia (got it for $17.99). I'll be sure to keep inFAMOUS sealed in case I can't get price protection. I'll do the same with GH:WT as well, as soon as my rent gets taken out and I have a better idea what my money flow is like haha

Well, the game alone is 19.99 on PSN. The case is essentially free, or in this case, negative 10 dollars.

[Afrodiziak]

You guys think the 360 GHWT will be on sale also? It doesn't state PS3 specifically in the ad although it does have a sku. Might be able to swing the 360 version if you push it.

[QiG]

Incredible price on inFAMOUS.. if anyone is willing to pick up a few extra and ship one down south to the US, let me know.

[Dragon52]

I'm there on inFamous. The PSP game deals are hot too, sadly I got both at MSRP.

[RobMinhas]

the 360 pro has an arcade pic, does tht happen often

[smithfan]

I picked this up on the weekend after trading a game in at F U Shop for the extra 10 bucks, before reading about this deal. Really hoping they give me price protection on it.
Game is fun but isn't worth full price. It reminds me so much of crackdown for the 360, it could be crackdown's brother. :D

[supermodestmouse]

if a friendly cag could help a brother out...

I'll pay you an extra $5 and shipping for a copy of infamous :)

[CaptainCharismaCCC]

I can do it but I won't be trying until the deal actually starts so I may be unlikely in getting the item.

[Talus]

I can do it but I won't be trying until the deal actually starts so I may be unlikely in getting the item.

But you could still probably get it pricematched somewhere else at the time of the deal.

[Lone_Prodigy]

After 12-13% tax (about $4), shipping ($5), and extra $5, it'll be around $45 CDN. Is that still a hot deal?

[strife18]

I saw on the flyer there is a Web sale # for each one. Does this mean that we may be able to buy it online? I don't have a BB in my city so that would be my only chance of picking it up.

[JamesSoprano]

my jaw dropped when i saw Infamous for $29.99. wow ... really didn't see that coming. Thanks for the heads up


watch them have like 10 copies to sell a day ... that would suck. i wonder if this is store only or it counts online either way i hope they don't sell out.

[shrike4242]

I think that all the duplicate threads for this deal have been removed, so if there are others, please report the first post of the thread and someone will deal with it.

[DMPugh]

Anyone know if buying ahead and then getting the price guarantee will work?

[saad77]

Dang, just saw this listed at N4G as one of the top stories which links to the gamer access story about it. Although they thought it was for the U.S. and have since put an update stating that it's probably only for Canada. lol

Anyway, I really hope they do have enough copies in the store and online, and if they do have it online, that their servers are ready to take on all the people trying to get it.

Anyone know when their sales go live on their website? Is it midnight or sometime during the morning?

[choffy21]

Anyone know whether US Best Buy's will price-match deals in Canada?

This is the first time I have ever wished I did not live in America

[game_fanatic]

BB USA will not PM BB Canada. Choffy, are you happy the Coyotes are staying in Phoenix??

[choffy21]

Oh my God yes. While Hockey hasn't grown at all over here in Arizona, I try to go to every game I can, and if I can't, I definitely watch on TV.

You Canadians already have waaay too many hockey teams anyways.

[neksus]

You Canadians already have waaay too many hockey teams anyways.

That is the most ignorantly asinine comment I've heard in a while.
Thanks for stopping by.

[Lone_Prodigy]

Six hockey teams are a ton? By that logic Canada has quite a large number of basketball and baseball teams as well. ;)

[Cthulhu8u]

You Canadians already have waaay too many hockey teams anyways.
In his defence, we do have a lot of non-NHL teams (OHL, GTHL, etc), maybe less than the US still, but still quite a few.

[BlueOne]

Saw this last week here first but I wasn't logged in. So, thanks OP, too bad its all over RFD but what can you do. ;]

Anyway I'm definately getting Patapon 2 tuesday, doubt theres any risk of that sellling out.

But yeah I too am wondering whether going early on the 30th would be enough to get me Infamous- or should I buy early and price correct. Any insights?

I would price protect but make sure you keep the game sealed. If you go there and they don't want to price match it, you can return the one you bought and just rebuy it again at $30. Well, unless you get a total dick CSR, then you might be screwed.

Another option is 3 days prior to the sale starting just do an online purchase but opt for in-store pickup. Then when you go in you can show them the flyer and they'll have to give it to you for the sale price.

[choffy21]

There 6 teams in the NHL that are in Canada. 6 out of 30 is 20%.

That's a lot.

[webrunner]

When does Best Buy's website put up their deals starting on a given day?

[Firestorm]

There 6 teams in the NHL that are in Canada. 6 out of 30 is 20%.

That's a lot.20% of the NHL Teams are Canadian, 80% are American.
The Canadian population is only 10% of the American population.

Yet, 31% of the NHL's revenue is created by Canadian teams ;)

[game_fanatic]

There 6 teams in the NHL that are in Canada. 6 out of 30 is 20%.

That's a lot.
Compared to other National sports leagues, this is quite true; look at the MLB, MLSE, NBA, NFL (lol). While we may have "a lot," we definitely don't have enough ;)

Hey thanks for the reply, appreciated ;]

[spzero]

Can't wait for the 30th. I'm going to be at the Bay & Dundas Best Buy by 10:30. Hopefully, there will still be a copy left...

Friend told me that I should be there much earlier since there's a lot of RFDers (possibly) in the downtown core...

I have no idea why anyone would wait until the sale starts on one of the items they want when they could do either of these options and be guaranteed they'll get it.

[game_fanatic]

^ True say. I bought my copy of inFAMOUS a while ago hoping to price protect, but at the moment I have my PS3 attached to a standard-def TV, and it looks like ass. I'll prolly just return my copy straight-up and wait until the holidays to re-purchase. I'm sure it will drop to $29.99 again in the future.

[matsam]

Just ordered Resistance:Restribution and Patapon 2 online, for store pickup. 28.20 after tax, altogether, that's still cheaper than R:R's regular price alone!

[Jbently]

Got a PM for Papaton 2 at FS for $8.99, great deal on this game.

[PuppetYuber]

boooooo and I thought $19.99 was the lowest it will ever get for Resistence Retribution / and I didn't expect Papaton 2 to drop price so fast lol ! FU SONY

[webrunner]

I have no idea why anyone would wait until the sale starts on one of the items they want when they could do either of these options and be guaranteed they'll get it.

Best buy doesn't have an advertised policy that 'guarantees' they will give it to you for that price if you buy it beforehand, that I can see.

That said, it does seem like they lower the online price in the search/cart before the day- Patapon's went down sometime before midnight on Monday.

hum... isn't that what their price match policy is all about. To match a price if it gets lower in the next 30 days.....?

The price match thing seems to be explicitly other retailers, though.

Prices change at midnight EST afaik which is going to be earlier in other parts of the country.

Prices change at midnight EST afaik which is going to be earlier in other parts of the country.

Even if it does include itself, they know instantly whether they are sold out (after all, the copy you're picking up is already sold to you, even if you haven't paid for it technically yet) so it's really not going to force them to give it to you for the lower price if it's sold out.

Incidentally I live in EST, and Patapon 2 was cheap before midnight on bestbuy.ca

[pmp1986]

I don't have a Bestbuy anywhere near me but I do have a Futureshop should I have any issues PMing there? anyone know?

[BlueOne]

@ pmp- Not really, no, with a flyer printout or staright from the BB web site. During december I did plenty of HDTV price matching and it went smooth ;).


Hey everyone, just saying, I went in to Sherway BB today to pick up Patapon 2 {plenty left} and Infamous, but I asked a CSR to check inventory on Infamous.

There are give or take 46 copies instock. I told the rep I knew it was going on sale next week...
He told me straight, buy it now and come back to then get the price correction. hahaha there you go :)

[strife18]

Hmm I might have to take a printout to Futureshop as well because we don't have a BB. Would probably have a better chance getting it this way rather then trying to get it online through their website when/if they change the price.

[Azumangaman]

Picked up Resistance, Patapon and Infamous today. She said there was no problem with bringing in the receipt when it goes on sale :)

[Fuzzy]

I wanna use my coupon =)
I'm going to see if I can use my $5 coupon when I go in to price protect my purchase next week. :D

[webrunner]

While picking up Patapon (and a copy of Prototype.. with a shirt randomly?) I asked about the policy.. it's not posted but their price policy is a modified (not verbatim) version of their matching policy: namely it doesn't have to be in stock.

[Adamantum]

I was on BB's website yesterday afternoon and saw Prototype listed at $44.99 for XB360 and PS3. I went to FS on my way home from work and PM'ed for $42.49 + tax. I was going to post about it but when I got home late last night, BB had raised the price (on the website, anyway) back up to $69.99... Did anyone else see this deal or get in on it?

It was on sale for $44.99 at BB last week. The sale ended last night.

[RavenousBear]

If you PM at Futureshop, are they supposed to match the competitor's price and reduce the price by 10% of the difference? When I PM'd Patapon at Futureshop, they gave it to me for $9.99.

More often than not, you'll have to "remind" the person doing the PM as they tend to forget.

[playa88]

I dont think this infamous sale is going to happen. There's nothing in this weeks flyer (june 27th - july 2nd) about the deal. And the deal we saw was in the flyer.

[Afrodiziak]

The flyer has actually been out for awhile now. I believe they had it in-store.

[spzero]

The inFAMOUS deal and assorted other deals are in a booklet given in-store.

Good thing too. Last thing I need is MORE people to compete with for the PS3 exclusive

[matsam]

You can order inFamous online right now for 29.99! Go Go Go! I'm doing the in-store pick up option, but at least it'll guarantee me a copy!

[kn00tcn]

futureshop add to cart, same

[KanoBlade]

futureshop add to cart, same

Interestingly futureshop is offering infamous for $29.99 as well, good spot.

[matsam]

Well, with FS, BB, Eb and Gamestop all having it at that price, it's a great day for deal hunters, and a terrible day for hoarders! :D

[c_of_red]

Thanks for the update, snagged myself a copy from BB's online store. Can't wait for it to arrive now...

[greywolf501]

Well, with FS, BB, Eb and Gamestop all having it at that price, it's a great day for deal hunters, and a terrible day for hoarders! :D
Excellent day for hoarders, Goozex will eat them up so fast

[Afrodiziak]

lol the value of Infamous for TIVs is going to drop so fast after these next few days.

On that note, I bought a copy for when I do get a PS3. I doubt that we're going to see it at $30 until it goes Greatest Hits after this.

[E*Master]

Ordered My copy of inFamous on BB's site. Funny thing is when you search the game it lists it at 29.99 but when you hit the link it says 69.99. However when you add it to the cart it goes back to 29.99. Anyone else notice this? This deal is awesome!

[Fuzzy]

Infamous is $30 at FS also. OoS online but people should check in-store.

[Talus]

Just placed my pick-up order at FS.

[spzero]

Sweet. There's a BB, FS, and EB Games like right across from each other near my area.

same...i work til 7pm and I picked it up 2 days ago...now to just price protect and I'll be a happy camper :)

[spzero]

Hurrah, got my copy. Bay and Dundas lBB ocation had a ton of copies when I left there at 10:30.

[chrisryans]

Wonder if the TIV is still $40 at EB today heh.

[strife18]

Woo got my in-store pickup order in at FS. Gonna pick it up after work on my way home.

[Jucifer]

Yay, got my copy set for in-store pick up at BB. Thanks for the heads up on this deal, CAG'ers! :D

[neozion]

I dont think this infamous sale is going to happen. There's nothing in this weeks flyer (june 27th - july 2nd) about the deal. And the deal we saw was in the flyer.

it happend all right.

[chrisryans]

Just traded in my copy of inFamous at EB for $40, surprised they didn't change the TIV today.

[ducksoda7]

Just traded in my copy of inFamous at EB for $40, surprised they didn't change the TIV today.

InFamous: $30 + 12% = $33.60

EB Credit: $40 + 12% = $44.80

$44.80 - $33.60 = $11.20

So you spent $30 in real cash to save a whopping $11.20 on anything in EB. Good job.

[chrisryans]

Uh, no. I bought inFamous on release and traded it in. Smart ass.

[saad77]

Just picked mine up from FS that i ordered last night when the deal went live. There weren't any left on the shelf and they had to dig through a stack of others that were reserved to find mine. I wonder if anyone is going to have any luck just going in to get it without reserving it.

[flipcyde]

Did an in-store pickup of Infamous from BB at South Common in Edmonton. I checked the shelves for any copies but only found used versions for it priced at 64.99. They did have some in the cage near the cashiers, but I don't know if those are reserved or if they are for the public.

I also saw used copies of GT5:Prologue and Ratchet and Clank: Future for 12.99. 3 copies or so left of each.

[ducksoda7]

Uh, no. I bought inFamous on release and traded it in. Smart ass.
Assumed that since you just traded it in that you only bought it to trade in. My mistake.

[Eoyote]

No shortage on Infamous here at my Futureshop. Not surprising since there seems to be very few users on CAG/RFD that are here in Calgary or even Alberta for that matter.

[strife18]

Im in Saskatoon and I had ordered it for pickup this morning. I will be picking up this afternoon but I did receive an email saying it was set off to the side for me.
Same thing here Eoyote, I don't usually see many CAGs here in my city.

[ducksoda7]

Just price matched it at Wal-Mart and bought two copies. One for me and another for a friend.

[Fuzzy]

I went to BB today and when I told the girl that I wanted to price protect my previous purchase she asked if it was for Infamous before I even told her. I guess a lot of people did the same thing here.

[spzero]

Forgive my ignorance but what's price protect?

[snuter]

Price protect is when something you bought goes on sale within 30 days of you buying it, they'll price match it and give you a refund. Basically, it is price matching a previous purchase.

[Azumangaman]

I'll be going to get my $40 today :)

[smithfan]

No shortage on Infamous here at my Futureshop. Not surprising since there seems to be very few users on CAG/RFD that are here in Calgary or even Alberta for that matter.

Thats not at all true. Some of the biggest hoarders from RFD are from Calgary.
Mr Kat being the worse of the bunch.

Price protect is when something you bought goes on sale within 30 days of you buying it, they'll price match it and give you a refund. Basically, it is price matching a previous purchase.

just for future reference are you allowed to open the item? I bought inFamous 2 days ago and am going to price protect it in about an hour (as soon as I'm off work)...but I've kept it sealed instead of playing it as I thought they'd cause a fuss over it being opened...??

/shrug

[dancrane212]

Just got my copy from BestBuy. I was worried I wouldn't get to it for awhile because I had just got my 360 back from MS yesterday but it just RROD'd today so back to the ps3!

Thanks again for the heads up OP

[snuter]

/shrug

I don't think that you even need to bring the item with you when you go to price protect it. Normally they just need the original receipt and original form of payment (if you used a credit card) so they can issue the refund.

I think people were being very careful just in case BestBuy was reluctant to price protect it cause it was a limited sale. (If it was unopened, they could return it and rebuy at the sale price.)

[BlueOne]

Just saying I think there are copies still at the Sherway Bestbuy in Etobicoke [lots of the cardboard shelve holders].
Also had no problem price protecting, haha saves $45! Good luck everyone and thankz again OP.

[webrunner]

Just to note; their Price Protection policy is a policy but it's not a published policy. But it does exist - the extra receipt even says "PRICE PROTECTION" on it.

[averageguy]

I live in Buffalo, Ny thankx for the deal i was going to hit best buy in st catherines for 2 copies but instead i reserved them at future shop in the Falls . So not to far away

[jimfnm]

I just want to thank game_fanatic for posting this deal here. I picked this up at BB a couple days ago and willing to take the hit for infamous if the price didn't drop (great game) since they never actually had the instore flyer's at my BB. One price match for 44 bucks back and I'm a very happy camper!

[Eoyote]

Thats not at all true. Some of the biggest hoarders from RFD are from Calgary.
Mr Kat being the worse of the bunch.

Really? I haven't seen a post of his on a game-related deal in quite some time. When I think of "biggest hoarders" people like Klepto/HDken/Grappos come to mind mostly because they openly admit to, and brag about it in every single thread.

But like I said, I still don't believe Alberta has many users that frequent these two forums as I have never had a problem finding stock for "insert deal" and rarely see posters from this part of the west.

Not to be snarky, but doesn't this count as published?

Went back today and got my $45!
Thanks so much to the OP! I don't think I would have found out about this deal any other way :)

[Adamantum]

Just thought I'd put my controller down long enough to thank the OP. Even though those crafty buggers at BB waited until after the Uncharted 2 MP Beta offer was over (6/28), I am surprised at how much I am enjoying Infamous. Fantastic game. All for $30 and change. I love our community!

Yeah thankfully MrKat seems to have gone away but he used to brag about how he bought every game from multiple rogers stores that had trade in values of over 20 dollars.
Anyway its good that you haven't had any problems getting the deals. Its always good to see "normal folk" get some every now and then :)

[spzero]

Oh, thanks for all the answers for the price protection.

So is it just for BB/FS, or are there other stores that do this practice as well?

[Xeph820]

gamer and I successfully price matched it at walmart but the lady went back and took all the stock off lol.
it was the walmart at lougheed mall bc

The ladies who work the electronics department at the Wal-Mart here are the same way, fight you tooth and nail to deny PMs and hide stock, they take the shit so personal.

I think all the biggest scumbags live in Toronto, so if you live in Toronto, you're fucked.
with that many people in the city there are bound to be a few bad apples it only natural :( but ill admit it only takes one to spoil everything which does suck

Ah good to see someone actually getting in on this deal =\ mrKat over on RFD scammed his way to FNR4 and DIRT2.

Hey I know you're all lurking (klepto and mrkat); I hope you both suffer somehow. VIOLENTLY.

But they REALLY want that fifty cent raise so they can be treated like shit even more for super cheap!

Also retail pride, because if you care about the faceless multinational corporation that pays you peanuts they'll care about you right?!!?? RIGHT!?!?!!?!?!

I always have a nice chuckle when they refer to it as "MY" department too. ;)

[gamer602]

How did Mr.Kat get those two games???

returning Infamous for walmart credit???

LOL!!!

That might explain why i could never find anything good at the Rogers around here....maybe he lives in the south end of the city as it's always hard to find any games left that are good deals here. That's why i usually just end up ordering online or reserve it for pick up and i don't even bother with rogers anymore.

[kn00tcn]

i got mine from bay & dundas earlier today by 5:30am yesterday 'pick up' ordering

there hasnt been stock at FS or BB since then (in the toronto/toronto east area) untill checking the site just now, warden & eglinton says it has stock on the BB site
so if anyone's left, not sure if you can get the online price to stick for picking up tomorrow, but you could try

did not post to RFD..

[snuter]

Thanks OP. I got a finally found a used copy from EB games!

I've still got my sealed copy from Future shop if anyone wants it I'd be willing to ship it if you missed out on this great deal.

[kn00tcn]

final check before i delete my bookmarks
prices are back to $70, stock still same for toronto/east (only warden eglinton BB has it), then again it's 4am... although.. when i set my pickup wednesday morning at 5:40am, there was different stock than a few hours before
