[lustyhitter]

Thank you, Princess.

I'm disappointed that TRU won't be having a B2G1 free sale in 2009. I thought it was a sure thing after last year's success.

[game_fanatic]

Thank you, Princess.

I'm disappointed that TRU won't be having a B2G1 free sale in 2009. I thought it was a sure thing after last year's success.

"Success" is a subjective term. I wouldn't be surprised if TrU lost a lot of money during that sale.

[poiuiu]

"Success" is a subjective term. I wouldn't be surprised if TrU lost a lot of money during that sale.
It really shouldn't matter to them much since TRU in the US does that pretty frequently, and in the years past, they do consecutive b2g1 sales year after year during holiday buying seasons.

After all, I imagine one of the big reasons why they do this is to get rid of months worth of excess stock they won't be able to get rid of otherwise.

[lustyhitter]

The purpose of a B2G1 sale is to hope that people will bite on the video game sale and will also buy something else to make up for the loss in profit. I guess while TRU U.S. has no problem doing it yearly, TRU Canada does. Then again, TRU Canada's "sales" aren't anything to brag about compared to their competition.

[game_fanatic]

Well at any rate, there must be a reason why TrU does the B2G1F so infrequently, and since they are in the business of making money, they must lose money every time they do it. Perhaps in the States more people come into the store and buy other items, but in Canada we're smarter and just buy sale items.

[zoro69]

' 30% off hasbro board games.'

good deal with the $10 cereal coupon

[Lone_Prodigy]

I guess no one bought NHL 2K10 Wii.

[neospike]

I guess no one bought NHL 2K10 Wii.

It is actually very well done this year, too. Has all the features that the other version have except for the graphics.

I'll be picking this up with the $5 Kellogg's coupon.

[Snak3]

Good time for GOW Collection. at 29.99 its pretty dope

[Thelatinsnake]

Which store could I PM Dragon age or left 4 dead 2 to get the best discount if I can PM on this sale that is? also where did u see gow collection for 29.99? Cheers

[PowerHungryShinobi]

Good time for GOW Collection. at 29.99 its pretty dope
GOW collection $30? Where?

[PuppetYuber]

I prefer TRU this year's sale than last year's B2G1 free. Since the selection at TRU are not as good as other retailers, and one can only maximize profit by buying all 3 59.99 or 69.99 games from B2G1 free.

This year's sale one can either purchase a game at 39.99 (almost any newly released psp games) and get 10 dollars off.

Or mix and match any 59.99 + 39.99 games and get 30 dollars off (eg Ratchet and Clank / Uncharted 2 + GOW Collector's Edition). You can probably PM FS's price for their black friday sale and use it as the 39.99 game (Dragon Age / NFS Shift / L4D2 Brutal Legend)

Or mix and match any 59.99 + 19.99 games at get 20 dollars off.

According to the website, a few Wii games are pretty cheap

[Princess Zelda]

At the Toys R Us sale the GOW collection will be $29.99.
Buy a game for $39.99-74.97 get $10 off. God of War collection is $39.99 buying it at this sale you'll save $10.

Regular Flyer
Wii with New super Mario Bros. $159.99

That would have been a nice price for Wii with New Super Mario Bros, but the flyer I looked at had it for $259.99


Future Shop

The Simpsons $9.99 (I hated this game!)


I didn't mind it, but the last few levels were really annoying (infinite enemy respawns...) and I gave up on the last DDR challenge because of the inaccurate XBox 360 d-pad...

[arnoldrimmer]

In addition to Wheelman I might pick up Nuts and bolts too.

[lustyhitter]

XBOX 360 Elite with Pure/Lego Batman/Lego Indiana Jones/Kung Fu Panda/Fable 2- $299.99

Have to admit that's a pretty good deal. You get 5 games with your console, though the great Fable 2 isn't exactly family fare.

[mabba18]

I didn't mind it, but the last few levels were really annoying (infinite enemy respawns...) and I gave up on the last DDR challenge because of the inaccurate XBox 360 d-pad...

Played it on the Wii, and I didn't find it terrible. Some of the levels were clever, but it felt more frustrating then it needed to be. You're dead on with the final boss, a totally new mini-game that you needed to be perfect at, who's bright idea was that. Still any kind of Simpsons' fan would get $10 worth of entertainment out of it.

[Snak3]

At the Toys R Us sale the GOW collection will be $29.99.
Buy a game for $39.99-74.97 get $10 off. God of War collection is $39.99 buying it at this sale you'll save $10.

Chyeah. Also technically Assassins Creed 2 at 49.99 which isn't too bad. I'm still going to hold out hope on their B2G1F deal

[Super Strokey]

Is teh 39.99 L4D2 price all week at BB and FS?

[method47]

Is teh 39.99 L4D2 price all week at BB and FS?


It is

[Princess Zelda]

That would have been a nice price for Wii with New Super Mario Bros, but the flyer I looked at had it for $259.99
Sorry, Fixed.


I didn't mind it, but the last few levels were really annoying (infinite enemy respawns...) and I gave up on the last DDR challenge because of the inaccurate XBox 360 d-pad...

It was the Shadow of the Colossal Donut level, bargin bin level and the DDR challenge that took all the joy out of the game. The DDR challenge became a vendetta again the programmers at the end I had to beat them!

[Corizzle]

It was the Shadow of the Colossal Donut level, bargin bin level and the DDR challenge that took all the joy out of the game. The DDR challenge became a vendetta again the programmers at the end I had to beat them!

I didn't think the DDR thing was that bad to complete, the bad part is completing it perfectly to get that achievement. I believe it was the last one I got.

Still, fairly easy game if you want achievements. It's also required playing for any Simpsons fan since it's the best Simpsons game ever (with the possible exception of the original Konami arcade game).

[KluTchKiLLa]

hmm should i go to TrU or Future Shop. I've been interested in Wolfenstein.

[Monsyphon]

No EB Games deals?

secured a copy of Dragon Age for the ps3 TY

[N1c0_ds]

mass effect is really 9,99?

[phanta]

I'm picking up mass effect and banjo N&B

[Lockescythe]

Mss effect is a new Plat hit box if you're wondering.

[halcyon1234]

Thanks for the info!

Is the Simpsons game for PS3 also?

[halcyon1234]

Also, note these two interestingly related SDM tibits:

1) Saturday and Sunday are "spend you points" event. Trade in 75000 points for $200
2) They have the Wii for $199.99

[lustyhitter]

I'm just going to get Prince Of Persia for the PS3 at FS. If they don't have any, I'll just take Zelda's advice and buy GoW Collection at TRU and save $10.

EDIT: I've changed my mind. I'm going to buy Assassin's Creed 2 at FS and maybe PoP. Probably won't have GoWC at TRU, knowing that location on Merivale.

[Nesmaster]

That Elite at BB is tempting... but I'm wondering if I should wait for Boxing Day. I don't need Fable II...

[supergrover99]

Scene it? Box Office smash with controllers $19.99

It looks like it's the stand alone game for $19.99 (The Version without the controllers).

[greywolf501]

It looks like it's the stand alone game for $19.99 (The Version without the controllers).
It is the stand alone version that's on sale for $19.99, but the $39.99 bundle that has Scene It, You're in the Movies and Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts includes the version with 4 controllers, that's the better deal.

[game_fanatic]

Mss effect is a new Plat hit box if you're wondering.

The platinum hits also includes some DLC, as well.

[d_bomb_23]

I'm thinking about getting the GOW collection for $30, but I have gotten a lot of new games lately. Also to anyone thinking about getting L4D2 or AC2, I would definitely recommend them both, they are great games, L4D2 for $40 is hot!
and AC2 is MUCH better than the first AC game

[Princess Zelda]

I just called at 8am no stock of the GoW collection at Merivale :( Oh well, it goes back on my Christmas list now.

Buy Mass Effect it's well worth the $10 and the DLC included on the disk is fun. Read the manual :P I played a 1/4 of the game and died a lot before figuring out I could upgrade my bullets.

For scene it, They used the wrong picture for it then because the flyer shows the one with the 4 controllers.

You have to make sure to buy the Platinum Edition if you want the extra DLC! And I believe it only includes the "Bring Down the Sky" DLC, not Pinnacle Station.

[lustyhitter]

Wow, TRU Merivale was busy!

The prices here are different from the flyer. Sadly, I had to pass on AC2. You see, AC2 and GoW3 only came up to $99.96 before taxes. For some strange reason, AC2 is $59.97. I picked up CoD:MW2 instead which was $59.99.

Then I went to FS and bought PoP and Wheelman.

Total spent: $108. Pretty good for a Canadian Black Friday!

[Jouvert]

Thanks for the info!

Is the Simpsons game for PS3 also?
The Futureshop flyer only has the 360 version listed at $9.99.

[game_fanatic]

Sweet, got Wheelman, Mass Effect, L4D2 and Dragon Age: Origins at Future Shop this morning!

[TripleQ]

Sweet, got Wheelman, Mass Effect, L4D2 and Dragon Age: Origins at Future Shop this morning!

I got the exact same games.. probably at the same futureshop too!

[Princess Zelda]

I used the scanning code of practice and got Dragon Age PS3 version for $29.99 at Best Buy! The Dragon Age PS3 english edition is still regular price $69.99 when it's scanned and on their website. The french SKU is on sale but they don't even stock of it at that store. But they had put the pick up game card on the shelf with the $39.99 price with the french SKU not english. When it scanned in at $69.99 I asked about the sale price in the flyer and the sale price on the shelf not being right.
Then I noticed the SCOP sticker on the cash and asked very nicely "Oh, I guess I can use the scanning code of practice to get an extra $10 off" She had to get it approved by the manager but I got it :)

This was at the Kanata BB but the video game department guy was peeling off the pricing sticker when I left. You might be able to try Future Shop :P

[game_fanatic]

I got the exact same games.. probably at the same futureshop too!

Haha the one near Conestoga?? I did an ISPU on Wednesday and it seemed people were having trouble finding DA:O...plenty of copies left for L4D2!

lol, Dragon age for $29.99 is definitely not too bad at all.

[Princess Zelda]

It's fixed at BB the online says $39.99 for all the english and french Dragon Age PS3/360 versions. Future shop is still messed up. You can price match the PS3 english edition Dragon Age at FS against the BB English $39.99 price and save $3 :)

Walmart also had a bunch of Blu-rays for $12.83 some of it was junk but they had a lot of the James bond movies and Ice Age 1 & 2. The perfection board game was $10.

Just a side but if you have a female in your life and are looking for a small gift to wow them Pier-1 has these gorgeous had painted Christmas tree ornaments for $8-$15 (20% off right now, I have no clue when it ends). The are called li-bein and they come in really cute fabric boxes and a card explaining how pretty and special they are. They even have the date on them so every year can buy them one of these really pretty things. I bought 4 as gifts :P Because they are hand painted the quality control is not so good, you may have to go through a few boxes to find one that's good.

[foxmcloud]

god damnit
Only french version of Dragon Age is 39.99
I bought the english version yesterday... even though the ad clearly shows the english cover she didn't want to price adjust my game
after like 30 minutes of arguing I said... oh well just price match Bestbuy then... she checked and agreed that both versions of the game was 39.99 at bestbuy so got my game at even lower price

she should have gave me the price adjust now she gave me more than what I was asking for

btw both versions are available here in Québec province and if you scan the french version it really comes up at 39.99

[zoro69]

Not sure if its mentioned, but walmart has rock band SE for 69 or 79. they have a sticker on them "do not return to store if defective, call 1-800)". Didnt say refurb.

[thegamecubist]

That's how all RB1 boxes are. That was back when everyone knew the insturments were having troubles.

On the flipside, my RB1 launch bundle (had the same sticker) is still going strong! Broken kick pedal aside.

[TripleQ]

Haha the one near Conestoga?? I did an ISPU on Wednesday and it seemed people were having trouble finding DA:O...plenty of copies left for L4D2!

Yeah.. I tried to do an ISPU this morning but it ISPU wasn't working on both FS and BB sites.. so I just dropped by and there were a pile of copies. Both in the normal rack and at a display near the front. This was pretty early in the morning though.

Ahh true, yeah I was out drinking last night (those who were in Goomba's chatroom can attest to this haha) and I didn't drag my ass outta bed till like 11am. I have another ISPU for Wheelman for PS3, so I'll trade that in along with Wheelman for 360 and Mass Effect for a pre-order of Mass Effect 2!

[d_bomb_23]

decided to get the GOW collection, got it at the coquitlam toys r us, another guy was also buying it so there were 4 copies left at around 8pm, when i called the csr said they had more in the back, but best to call ahead just in case.

[kyle071785]

well I tried to use TRU's discount sale to get Brutal Legend for cheaper than $39 (ie. they will take $10 off if you spend >$39)

futureshop no dice...even though i had the ISPU ready to go they refused and I just walked out and said I was going to best buy to try. The CSR said she could ask her manager but I told her I'd be back (BB and FS are literally a 5 minute walk apart)

best buy did it without a problem so left with it for $29. the CSR even said they don't think they were supposed to honor sales that are instant rebates (and I know they aren't but I was still trying).

anyways...brutal legend for $29 and Wheelman for $5.99 (they even charged me a buck less on wheelman than they were supposed to via FS PM)

and just like that I knocked off my cousin xmas gift...$5.99 wheelman and he'll think I paid full price XD

[Invalidx]

Got Scene it with 4 controllers, Simpsons, Wheelman, and AC/CD Track Pack for 50+tx I would have got Prince of Persia, Assassin;s Creed, and Mass Effect, if I didnt already have them.

Gotta love Futureshop's sales.

I think you're on the wrong website.

I'm on the wrong site because I inquired and they approved it anyway :-s

Yeah I see nothing wrong with that...you can ask, and if they say no, no big deal. It's the folks that cause a scene and demand a discount, even though one shouldn't be applied. We all know some stores are YMMV when it comes to price matching.

I guess it depends on where you draw the line.

Visiting multiple stores trying to get a PM that you know to be invalid seems...well, just a tad dishonest to me.

I'm not claiming there's a "CAG code of conduct" or anything; for me personally I enjoy getting a good deal on games while playing by the rules. I don't pursue deals I know to be in violation of store policy, nor do I attempt to get deals by exploiting employee ignorance. (though to be fair in this instance it seems they weren't ignorant--they just didn't care)

I like to think that that is what separates this crowd from the mob at RFD. I know not everyone shares this viewpoint.

I really, really don't want to derail this thread into yet another RFD rant, but thought I should expand upon my comment seeing as you responded to it.

Enjoy your game(s). <insert genuine non-sarcastic smiley face here>

Well all that guy really did was inquire if they could match a promo.

Myself, I had the most pain free price match in my life Friday (and I rarely try it). Got POP, Bourne, and FNR4 at FS (they matched the $18 at WM no questions asked). Went to Toysrus, asked if they could PM FS L4D2 and Dragon Age, the guy said yes, turned around and asked the manager if they give me the mix n match, the mgr said yes, and I was off :) So basically $40 for L4D2, $40 for Dragon Age, $30 for Far Cry 2 (it's more expensive here but it was pre-order edition), and got $30 off. Funny how I didn't even ask for double promos and they give it to me. Yet sometimes trying to get a $10/20 PM results in them bringing up every excuse they can think of.

[game_fanatic]

Congrats man! Never hurts to ask! I'm going into FS tomorrow to see if they can match the TRU promo for me, if not, no biggy!
