Wow, DiRT 2 is already 30 dollars? What did it launch at?
It has probably the best main menu ever.

Also I just started working at the Ottawa-based developer who works on the Nerf series for Wii, hah. I haven't played the one coming out this year but the staff tells me it's better than the first, acknowledging that the first one wasn't great.

Of course, they're geared towards kids so I doubt anyone here is young enough to be interested in it!

Damn. Dirt 2 for $30? I'm going to definitely have to pick it up for that price. Now to find a racing wheel for that price! lol Thanks for the heads up. Dirt 2 is still $69 anywhere I've seen, FS, BB & Amazon.

Sorry Dirt 2 is the DS version not 360/PS3.
Awesome job Griptor. I know the place your working at, they developed one of my favourite games Star Wars Monopoly years ago. Good to hear about the Nerf game. I was going to buy the first one but heard about the sequel and decided to wait till it came out. My oldest Son loves Nerf guns.

definitely going to rebuy assassins creed...bought it for $10 once and didn't really get into it...sold for $12.50...will rebuy for $9 and give it another shot (hell all else fails I have a game >$8 TIV for EB again)

edit: will all stores actually have it on hand or is it YMMV? Will it be in the clearance bins or behind the glass displays? i hate trying to find most things in wal-mart...

Probably YMMV. I checked in two Walmart's in Montreal and both were sold out. Hopefully they will restock before the end of the sale.

but i do hope they have some assassin's creeds though. would they be in the bins or in behind the glass?

For the DS, would I be able to say, go to Best Buy and get that price matched?

Princess Zelda
09-17-2009, 09:10 AM
Yes, if they still have store stock. But Walmarts open pretty early or they are 24hrs the early Christmas shoppers Stock may be gone by the time the store opens.

In the past though EB Games has lowered the price of the systems for a few days to match the large box store sales.

For those interested, VideoGamesPlus also has Bioshock for $19.99, although it's not a sale of any kind, just a bargain bin price drop. Good for those in the area who can't find any copies at their local WM!

BBV also sells the game for that price; used but some guys can get BBV tic as easily as the flip of a coin. :p And they can be of good quality, surprisingly.

I've PM'ed numerous times on sale items. However, their policy is written in such a way that they can refuse it. I haven't seen the Walmart flyer yet, but in the past anniversay sales they've put "limited quantity" on some items which FS/BB had refused to PM based on that.

Princess Zelda
09-17-2009, 01:48 PM
Some products have the limited time offer labelled on it but none of it is Video Game related including the DS Lites.

gamer602
09-17-2009, 01:50 PM
FYI, buy it now...and RIP THE BOX OPEN!

FutureCRAP will be MUCH more likely to PM if it Means that theyll take it back as an OPEN BOX item......

Note for those wanting to buy Mario and Luigi 3, another WiiMotion+, or other Nintendo products, the same WalMart sale has Kellogs' cereal for 2.50 each so hope that they have some in stock cause this is something I'm gonna try to take advantage.

And here I just came back from Price Choppers with two boxes. :(

WTH! Did every copy of Assassin's Creed get ISPU'd in the city? Seriously, looks like ppl are relying on PMs instead of going to Walmart for the sale. (At least, there seem to be plenty of copies of hawx left :) )

Went to Kanata they didn't have any Assains Creed or Bioshock for the PS3. I don't care though I still have the 360 versions.
They had lots of Fruit Loops with the Nintendo Coupon for $2.50 but they were on the shelf, the huge skids just had the regular cereal.
But I did get my mom the last season of The Waltons for $13 it's $35 everywhere else. That was worth the early morning drive :)


Zellers in Kanata has just 2 copies of Professor Layton: The Diabolical Box left. RCSS has 4 Clone trooper helmets perfect for Halloween.

Sorry if it was reposted.

HMV will have Halo:ODST for $65 on the 22nd only.
Might be possible to get a price match from FS/BB or at the very least, a excuse to not enter wallyworld.
Saw it in their flyer yesterday.

Scarborough town center is sold out of Assassin's Creed. I got the last copy of bioshock there.

Walked over to BB to see if I could get a PM of Assassin's Creed. Sold out there too.

Headed over to Morningside Walmart. Bioshock on PS3 was sold out, plenty left for 360. 1 Copy of Assassin's Creed left on 360 after I made my purchase (~ 1 pm)

Well, I assumed the one Walmart anywhere close to me (it's not very close) would be sold out of AC PS3 by now, so I checked store stock at all the different FS and BB locations near me (about 7) and they're all gone. Guess I missed out. :(

Looks like FS is matching the $19.99 price on Hawx if you can't find stock at your local WM!

No AC in Walmart DIX30.

Here's my story, I looked on Bestbuy.ca and all locations around me had AC PS3 in stock. I went to BB Taschereau but couldnt find the game. Asked a clerk who thought it was pretty funny, and that they certainly didnt have any copy to begin with. I asked why the website said they did, and he replied that the website was always unnaccurate.

However, the website still says theres some copies there. And its also written that the stock is updated daily.

What's up with that?

Which version is better for Assassin's Creed and H.A.W.X?

The 360 for both.

When AC came out, the PS3 Version was incredibly broken. I am not sure if they have fixed most of the bugs now with updates but, on the whole the consensus was that you should go with the 360 version. For Hawx it has a 5 gig install on the ps3 and generally looks better on the 360. The PS3 version has a lot of blurring.

Here is a good "Head2Head" comparison of both versions of Hawx

09-19-2009, 01:56 AM
I usually go 360 just for the controller preference, personally.

Also, it appears FS has dropped the price of the DS Lites to $94.99 as well, to prevent losing even more scrilla on PM opportunities!

I rented AC for PS3 after they patched it, and it was still a technical mess. I still was going to pick it up for $9, but it's not in stock around here. I'll just put that cash toward AC2, I guess.

Edit: I suppose they could have patched it again after I played it, I just assumed they hadn't. I don't know.

I know you're not asking me, but it can't hurt to mention how I've fared. I snagged a $10 on the 8th box I bought. I'm up to about 20 boxes now and haven't gotten another :cry:

I've only eaten about 4 boxes of cereal though, these things are going to last me till next year :lol: I seriously doubt I'll use half of the coupons too...

Since you asked, three a year shared with everyone. One box on their Birthday and one for Christmas. My Sons 8th Birthday is next week and Christmas is in a few months so for $2.50 I thought I'd buy it early. The rest of the boxes I bought were Mini Wheats my husband like them and the kids get them a few days of week also.
My kids eat well. I enjoy cooking more then playing video games. I have a vegetable garden, buy meat from the local butcher and get other stuff from the farmers market in season. Anyway my portabella, red pepper, onion and cheese omelette with toast and homemade strawberry jam is getting cold, good bye.

You know according to http://www.oftwominds.com/blogs/cold-cereal.html, apparently frosted mini wheats are the 'healthiest' cereal, all things considered? A lot of 'healthier' cereals have huge sodium levels.

Dammit, last night I noticed that FS dropped AC to $9.99 on their site and there was stock at a location near me so I put in an order for in-store pickup. Never received a confirmation email so I just checked my order status and it had been cancelled without informing me.

I've picked up 3 $10 in probably 10 boxes. That is a pretty good ratio. I can maybe get Kingdom Hearts DS now. $40 is just too much for a DS game.
Glad to know Mini wheats are one of the Healthiest.

Just got back from the WM and the only cereal that they had that had the promotion was Froot Loops, Frosted Flakes and Corn Pops; so I grabbed a bunch of Froot Loops (since I don't eat that stuff very often).

*/me flips over*

Tho if given the option, I would have gotten all Miniwheats instead. *fixes monocle*

*/me flips over again*

Isn't Kingdom Hearts published by Square Enix? If so, then it wouldn't be part of the promotion since it only covers Nintendo published games and accessories.

*/me flips over one last time*

And yeah, again, I didn't mean to flip out but your high ratio for 10ers just shocked me since I only get 5s. :(

edit: Just checked all the boxes I got, and damn my luck, all 5ers. meh

I think it's about even. Most of the best BB/FS sales were the summer sales where people hoarded limited copies in record time. Yet at the same time, I believe it made EB pricematch to stay competitive, which is good for everyone.
The $299 bundle was more a case of great timing than a great deal, the price dropped and they honoured the week's deal with the new price.
Walmart sometimes has some decent stuff in their bargain bins more quickly than FS/BB ever would, and I think their games drop more quickly in price. They have some decent deals too, like the recent Batman AA deal. *shrugs* Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

BTW, do Miniwheats still come in brown sugar frosting? That stuff is wheat-based crack... :drool:

Someone help me buy a clue to see if I'm following the conversation here right...

Those $5-$10 Nintendo cereal coupons aren't just for games, but for consoles? So $94 DSL - 5 or 10 coupon would work? If so, my interest has peaked, time to find some brown sugar miniwheats!

Sounds about right. Afterall, some lucky schmuck will end up with a 500$ coupon/whatever and what's he/she/it is gonna buy with it?! I don't think there is enough Nintendo published software to cover 500 bucks (possible if you add in accessories). :p

If you're planning on finding discounted games at a local Walmart I suggest you go into a Supercentre. From my experience Walmarts other than the Supercentres don't have most or all of the advertised discounted games.

Good luck finding Assassin's Creed and sport titles for the PS3--you'll need it!

I just gave in and purchased Assassin's Creed Director's Cut for PC on Direct2Drive. It's on sale now for only $5 and is supposed to be better than the PS3 version anyway. Thought I would mention it here for people who were unable to find a copy of the console version.

In this generation, EVERYTHING (short of exclusives obviously) should run and play better on PC. No exceptions (short of shoddy port quality of course).

I remember when the system requirements came out for AC they were pretty high (near Crysis levels), so you'll need a beefy rig to handle it.

About a year ago I put together a new PC. I'm not a PC gamer but figured I should get a halfway decent video card, the Geforce 9600 gso 768MB. I downloaded AC today and it runs great on the maximum settings. There is a little screen tearing when you exit the Animus, but I can turn on vsync if it gets worse. So if your system can support it I recommend getting in on this deal. AC downloaded in about 3 hours (almost 6GB) and the installation and activation was very smooth. Direct2Drive seems to be a good option, I probably like it better than Steam.

I'm definitly going to keep an eye out for a clone helmet. I see a bunch at work, 39.99 was just to much.

dancrane212 I'm impressed with the clone helmet decent quality plastic. I test fitted it on my husband the sizing of the helmet looked to scale of a real Clone trooper and for $20 it's well worth it.

The Walmart in Kanata has new stock of Bioshock 360/PS3 and a few 360 copies of Hawks but no new stock of Assassin Creed. The 360 Bioshock was the greatest hits version.

Loblaws in ontario I haven't seen the flyers in other provinces has roses for $1 each. Really nice selection and colours. Steams are 50 cm perfect for a regular sized vase. Tip: you'll get bonus points from your significant other or Mom if you bring home flowers on a non special day :)
The Kanata Loblaws at centrum had a nice fresh selection.
