FF:CC for ANY 4 GC games through 4/3

[Gojtron]

Ending April 3rd, so act fast.

At EB, trade in any 4 Cube games, get Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles free. They can be sports, they can be anything but demo discs. I used 2 copies of Madden 02, an NFL QB Club 02(5.99 used) and an NFL 2k3, bought them, traded them right back in, and got my FF:CC. It's automatic, they do the trade, scan the new game, hit total and it works.

[Diiz]

April fools.

[doraemonkerpal]

geez... i have to rule out every deal on april 1st!!! :x stop fooling me and my cheapass!!! :lol:

[Gojtron]

Seriously, it's for real. I'd scan my reciept if I had a scanner. Call an EB and ask them, if they're clueless, tell them to read their daily directive.

[Diiz]

They never accept sports titles. That doesn't make sense.

[jshorr]

I would have to agree. What would they do with old sports games no one wants?

[Gojtron]

Has anyone even called to see? What have you got to lose other than a pretty nice deal?

[st0neface]

You'd be lucky to get a dollar apiece for Madden 02, and your insistence of the deal working, just helps prove the fact that this is bogus.

[Gojtron]

Actually it was 4.50 total for the 4 titles before the bonus credit. If someone will host, I can get to a friend's scanner and send them the reciept tomorrow..

[lurknomore]

Gojtron must have given them a lil something, something on the side to get the Robots at EB to bite on something like this.

[pimp tyranny]

would be pretty sweet if it were true.

[sighlintbob]

This one's true guys. Called up my local EB to confirm it. It's just through the weekend though, so act fast.

[drfrielgood]

Is this deal for any other games besides FF:CC?

[doraemonkerpal]

wow... if this is for reals... :D!

[P0ldy]

Uh, holy shit, this is actually legit. I thought it was at least worth a call...

ANY game, so long as they're gamecube and they include original box and book.

And it ends this weekend.

Wow, amazing deal, goj.

Guys, use EB's Store Locator and find a number and verify it for yourself.

I wonder if there is a limit on how many you can get. If not, hello Gamestop cheapass games rack. :D

This should go on the main page.

[sailorchrono]

OMG, this is so real! I just did this right now! I went to GS and they also had buy any 2 and get 1 free!! I'M SO RAIDING BOTH STORES TOMMOROW (just got one tonight, it rocks so bad! ;))

[MorganWebbLover]

Sounds too good to be ture .

[Mr Unoriginal]

I just called my local EB and they ARE running the promotion, but according to the guy I talked to, not all games are included. He said most likely any older games and old sports games wont be included but he didn't know of an offical list.

[P0ldy]

If he doesn't know of an official list, then he can't exclude certain ones.

Guy I talked to specifically said ALL, and I made a point to ask "even sports games?" "ALL."

I have 5 EBs in my city.

[sailorchrono]

Starfox Adventures, 2 crappy sports games, and BloodRayne were the ones I traded in!

[oNeWiNgEdAnGeL]

Does anyone know if it can be PS2 or Xbox games? I'm too lazy to call, or not I would.

[sailorchrono]

Nope, no PS2/Xbox. I tried, they took my Capcom vs SNK EO too!!! :( :( :( (so not 2 crappy sports, one after all...crap!)

[Kaijufan]

I may have to pick up a copy of FF:CC this weekend.

[st0neface]

Well then, I look like a total moron. Sorry for ripping on you like that, :oops: awesome deal.

[AvidWriter]

:cry: I dont have 4 games I could use....I have at most 2 maybe 3 :x

[YoshiFan1]

Thanks for the info, I'll try it tomorrow but I'm sure my EB won't let me trade in junky games. If they will, I have a feeling Home Run King, Cel Damage, The Hulk and some other game will be leaving my collection :)

[Unassuming Local Guy]

Wow. I'll have to give them a call tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!

[hutno]

Could someone create a thread that shows all instore ebgames promotions and the ones that you need a coupon for, and inthat case, which magazine it can be found in because alot of this info just comes too late

[doraemonkerpal]

i traded in rayman arena, turok (HAHAHAAH), minority report, and some bmx game! great deal! i also picked up eternal darkness for gc. is it any good?

[fahQ]

checking calendar . . . .

[BigBen]

Ok, I just called my local EB Games and they CONFIRMED this deal, NO EXCLUSIONS! Sweet! I'm gonna trade in Madden 2002, NBA 2k2, NBA Street, and SSX Tricky or something, to get it. Awesome!

Thanks OP!

[jt2k3]

I can confirm this deal. However, at my EB, all games are valid, including Xbox and Ps2 games. Traded in NFL2k3 (ps2) SSX (ps2), NBA Coutrtside 2002 (GCN) and Madden 2002 (GCN) that i got for like 16 bucks at Gamestop with teh B2G1 and 10% off card.

Amazing.

[Diiz]

I just called my local EB and the guy told me that there was no such deal going on right now. He said they had this deal going on a while back but people were abusing it with too many sports titles. Either he is full of shit or this is a YMMV deal.

PS- This was the EB at the Westfield Mall in Escondido, CA.

[Strider Turbulence]

Must...go...to EB.

I just hope they''ll take any ps2 or x-box game too.

[bradr]

My EB sucks. I called and they said there were exclusions. This is a quote:
"Games are excluded but I can't list them over the phone. Bring everything you have in and we'll pick through them and take the ones WE (as in EB) can use."

Uh ... NO!

Stay away from the one in Kingstowne, VA

As with every EB deal, it seems that it depends heavily on who the clerk is.

[Diiz]

Just called the EB in La Jolla...they confirmed the deal. I will go to the Escondido one and tell the guy to read his directive again.

[P0ldy]

you think that's bad... the clerk at the EB I was just at told me that offer expired already..?!?

[doraemonkerpal]

i already got one for myself... now to hit up the gamestop sale again and get one as a gift :)

[Diiz]

Ok, finally got it, but after a little hassle.

Me> Hey, I called a while ago about the trade in 4 Gamecube games and get Crystal Chronicles free.
Clerk> Mmm hmm.
Me> Well I called the EB in Carlsbad and he said that they are running the deal and it applies to all EB's.
Clerk> *looks puzzled, but checks the computer...scrolls through the list of deals*
Me> I just didn't want to have to drive all the way to Carlsbad if I could do it here. Is there a way you can call over there and price match?
Clerk> I have the list of deals right here on the computer, and the printed list here.
Me> So why is the deal going on at Carlsbad and not here?
Clerk> Well, they're just wrong.
Me> Well I've talked to like 8 people (CAG gamers :wink:) who have gotten this deal. So basically I have to drive all the way to Carlsbad to do this?
Clerk> *looks at screen.*...Well, it is trade in four, but there are exclusions...and you still have to pay the tax.
Me> Well do these work? I don't have any sports titles in there *I hand him Two Towers, Harry Potter, Spiderman and XMen*
Clerk> Let me check *checks them all*. Ok, these work. You want Crystal Chronicles?
Me> *nods*

I was pretty bugged...plus I am sick and arguing with him made my throat hurt even more. Damn EB employees...

[Diiz]

Oh, and Gojtron, I suppose I owe you an apology. I hate April fools day... :x

[sm04as]

I got semi-rejected today.

I went to an EB this morning and I asked them about the deal. The woman didn't know anything it, but she did tell me about another FF/CC promotion. She called a few people who told her the "deal was dead." I had to explain to her that I thought this was a new deal and I understood it was not for "reserving" it. So she called again and said that sports were excluded.

Went to another 2 stores, found out that the first woman talked to these two stores and they "knew" who I was. So they all talked together and decided that sports are not included.

[jmon22]

So how are some of you guys having so much luck?? I called 2 EB's and they said they have no idea about this deal, even when i asked them. Did they automatically just know about the deal or did you have to beat them up to have them check the computer or call someone??

[AGuth]

I just picked up 2 more copies of FF:CC with this deal from both of the EBs in my town. Only one of the managers from one store and another employee from the other store knew anything about the deal because it was in an 'email'. I don't know if that meant, like, store emails or individual employee emails. So if you're not getting any cooperation, tell them to check their 'EB email' and the deal will be explained to them in all of its 'no exclusion' entirety.

[Blamo]

I swear I just posted this...


Does anyone know if this is until the end of the day, or through the entire weekend????

[sm04as]

Funny....me too....tomorrow Sat April 3 last day is what I was told

[sm04as]

I'm going to try again tomorrow. I think the computer knows better than the EB reps (if it is a universal directive). The problem was that I didn't have any games on me, so they couldn't check. Their sports titles exclusion is moot. I should of just taken a bunch of their own games and asked them to check it. I didn't get the idea to do that until the 3rd EB I went to. The guy was nice enough to see if it was true or not.

[doraemonkerpal]

yea, i posted something too but i guess it was deleted...? odd :lol:

[Blamo]

Ok, so Im not totally insane, nice to know :P

[dcfox]

If anybody is in the Albany region, the eb at Rotterdam has this deal going on. They take all gc games no exceptions. I traded in Capcom vs SNK 2, Madden 2002, dave mierra, and pikmin. The only thing is the games have to be gc, no ps2 or xbox.

[doraemonkerpal]

the eb i went to was at the brea mall (brea, ca).

[Diiz]

I went to Westfield mall in Escondido, CA. They have the typical exclusions though (checked to see if the games were on the POS list?). The El Camino Real EB in Carlsbad was allowing this deal as well, and the guy said over the phone that there were no exclusions he knew of.

[BigBen]

EB Games in Christiana Mall in Delaware has this deal going on.

[tolhurst]

Pioneer Place in Portland, OR is also aware of the trade in deal.
(I used NBA 2k2, Madden 2002, NFL 2K2 amd Rocky)
if you go tell them Jim sent you!

[bmulligan]

Anyone in the Detroit Metro area do this deal? I've never had any luck calling EB games with any of the deals they've supossedly run in the past and it's 30 miles to the nearest one.

[fastkilr]

4 for 1 isn't that great guys. Just think, your giving up FOUR games. Thats a lot of games.

[jmon22]

4 for 1 isn't that great guys. Just think, your giving up FOUR games. Thats a lot of games.

But just think about it, the games you are trading in can be bought back for around 5 dollars, if you even want to buy them back again.

[Roufuss]

4 for 1 isn't that great guys. Just think, your giving up FOUR games. Thats a lot of games.

Way to read the thread.

If you look closely at what people are writing, you see they are trading in junky 5-6 dollar used sports games, so 4 of those cost about 20-25 dollars, and they are getting a 50 dollar game.

[Admiral Ackbar]

EB Games in Christiana Mall in Delaware has this deal going on.

Thanks for the Info Ben...

I'm still thinking if I'm going to jump on this. I don't have a GC games I want to trade it. SO I weould have to go to a Gamespot and pick up the four cheapest GC games I can find. Even then I'd probably spend $25 bucks. So that's half price, but this isn't amust have for me. So maybe I'll just wais a year or so when it's cheaper. It wouldn't suprise me if this christmas is was a players choice or whatever.

[AnthonyRoundtree]

question
this offer ends the april 3rd....
that always bothers me...
is the 3rd the last day to do it?
or the 2nd cuz it ends on the 3rd....

[Strider Turbulence]

Yes! It worked! They even took sports games!
The only thing that sucked about all this was that I had to go to Gamestop to hit them up on some Gamecube games (I didn't see anything under $7) because the clerk at EB made a mistake on the phone and told me that all next gen games are available for trade in.

[Kaijufan]

So they wont take PS2 or Xbox games. I have a few I want to get rid of.

[sailorchrono]

omfg, some of my EBs are so lame. One wouldn't take any other PS2/Xbox games. The other wouldn't take ANY GCN sports. *:sighs:* The discrepencies in EBs is really getting to me, however at least I have some that take any :D (Tried to trade a whole bunch of crap sports games at one EB today. Didn't happen. Will take to other EB that worked tommorow)

[jousley]

I took in F-Zero GX and a Def Jam Vendetta that I had picked up earlier today at Target for $4.96. When I got into the store, I bought All Star Baseball for $5.99 and a Madden 2002 for $7.99...THEN traded those four in to the clerk...walked right out with FF:CC ;)

[jt2k3]

Just looked at my reciept...

POX-Nfl2k3 (GCN)
POX-MAdden 2002 (GCN)
POX-SSXGH
PO-Courtside2002

So.. my guy let 1 ps2, and 3 POX go. Hope he doesnt get busted :\

[Diiz]

What does POX mean exactly?

[thingsfallnapart]

(p)re (o)wned e(x)cluded

[Diiz]

Ah, never would have figured out the X. Thanks :wink:

I couldn't pass this deal up, I might try to go to EBX today to exchange the FF:CC for something else. I ended up trading Madden 2002, NBA 2k2, Tony Hawk PS3, and NBA Street for it. Not bad since I couldn't get squat for those games otherwise. I think the total trade in value I would have gotten was $8.

You traded in F-Zero GX? I would give $15 for that game easily.

[lurknomore]

Whenever something like this happens, where a deal is too good to be true....it only tells me one thing, beware of a price drop. Maybe Square and Nintendo believed that it sold gangbusters, and they are pricedropping along with the other new Player's Choice games.

Were those all GC Games?

[rsigley]

jeez i went to three EB's two said I was making the deal up and called the district manager who said not to do it. The other one the guy got the email but he was like no way i'm doing this trade (i came with like reign of fire, madden 2k2, nfl 2k3, some other crappy game) because he didn't wanna get fired (he was a cool guy tho before he took like 16 jam packs back for old 4 for 1 deals) oh well only spent $15 for the 4 games at Gamestop so either keep them or return them dunno

Yup :)

[thingsfallnapart]

actually this deal tells me EB is hurting so bad just to get people in their stores. Every single EB i go to is empty, depressing, dirty, and very uneventful.

Their trade in prices are a supreme rip off, and their employees for the most part are trash. I can't believe any company can be so run poorly, but i guess i believe now.

[Admiral Ackbar]

I dunno. The Eb's at the Christiana Mall in DE is packed. Personally, I think this is a promotion set up by Nintendo. See, you need a lot of hardware to play this multiplayer. Every multi needs a gameboy Advanced. So this is kinda a tool to sell Gb's. Or at leastr eaward gamers who have all their hardware.

It's the same deal with FF XI. The only reason the bundled with that paticular game is 1) They can sell em for $100 a pop and 2) they can get people to pay a monthly fee.

Anyway, I scored. Thanks for the info BB. I called Ebgames at the mall first, to see what they would say. According to the manager, they will take ANY game from ANY Next Gen console. That cinched it for me. I went ot my local Gamestop and picked up three $8 games. I think NFL 2k3, NBA 2k2, and Reign of Fire. I also had a copy of Alter Echo for the x-box which I bought during christmas for $5 from CC. In total I spend $16 today. Went to EB Games, traded them in, and got a new copy of FF:CC

[jmon22]

I just did this, but got an open copy of the game and didnt notice this until i was halfway home. :x Hey, i guess if it looks new, and touched once, i guess it was a decent deal.

[Mysteriouskk]

does anybody know if the Irvine Spectrum one is doing it? or maybe any EB near there?

Thanks


Anyone else living in the orange county / irvine area?

[sailorchrono]

Hey, I live by you in So Cal. If you get *anyone* to do it, I will worship the ground you walk upon. Today's the last day, and if I get stuck w/ 2 crap games like the sports game I have up in the trading forum, my mom's beating me silly. Literally. Have a nice day.

if the brea mall isn't too far away from you, they'er doing it (57 freeway) and i'm thinking about going to the santa ana main place mall to try... but i already have one and don't want to be assed out with a bunch of sports titles if it doesn't work. :)

[sailorchrono]

Brea mall? Sorry, I live in Fountain Valley (By Huntington Beach) and I'm geographically impaired. Is that by me? If you say yes, I"m so rushing out and getting rid of these games that have brought so much misery upon my head. Also, is there anymore copies? So they took your Sports games no problem? Thanks for the advice btw ^_^

[doraemonkerpal]

fountain valley... you take the 55 north, 5 north, then 57 north. it would take me like 20 minutes max but it depends on how fast you drive. if it's worth it to you, then i'd say try it. the eb in the mainplace mall (santa ana, off the 5 freeway) is usually pretty cool as well. if anything, i'd call the eb in the mainplace mall first so you wouldn't have to drive as far.

last time i checked, there were a bunch of copies. as for the sports game, sorry. i only traded in my craptacular gcn games. i think i listed it in this thread already, but here i go again :)

rayman arena (w/o instructions, lol!)
turok (pure garbage and cheap too)
a bike game (forget what it's called)
and another junk game i got for like 8 bucks. sorry, but i forgot the names. if you look through all the posts, you can probably find what i turned in as a trade :D

edit: i found it, hehe. it's on the 2nd page.

[Mysteriouskk]

can someone do me a favor and tell me if they do it in the Irvine Spectrum EB. call them?

[Querjek]

This deal works at the Parkersburg, WV EB with non-GCN games too :)

I sent my mom to do this as she was going out anyways. I also gave her money to get MGS: TTT. When she came back, she had the following:
MGS:TTT
FF:CC
MGS:TTT guide
FF: CC guide
I didn't ask her to get the guides, but she said there was some sort of other promotion on them. I traded in THPS3 (GCN), Blowout (PS2), Hard Hitter Tennis (PS2), and Super Bust a Move 2 (PS2). The receipt gives $12.50 credit for each. The for the amounts paid (Some wording has been altered and some things were removed, but the prices stay the same):
FF:CC guide----------------$14.99
Metal Gear GCN------------$31.99
Original Price $39.99
Disc. 8.00 promotion
FF: CC GCN----------------$39.99
Original Price 49.99
Disc: 10.00 promotion
Metal Gear Sld guide------$11.99
Original Price $14.99
Disc. 3.00 promotion
SUBTOTAL: 98.96
Taxable total: 48.96
6.000% WV State 2.94
Purchase Total $101.90
Total 51.90
(the rest is irrelevant)

Good day, good day!

[Mysteriouskk]

if i call, will they tell me, or do I actually have to go to the store and ask?

Irvine Spectrum - any luck there yet?

[Gojtron]

I went back and bought a second one today, I'm going to return it on Tuesday and put it all on either Fight Night or Onimusha 3.

[sailorchrono]

LoL, I wish they'd let me exchange, but I'd rather just keep and enjoy it. If I got Onimusha 3 though, I'd get that *KICK* ass sword Hori's coming w/. Ahh, I can dream. I lucked out at The Block. I did sports games and one Hunter/BloodRayne. THEY TOOK IT. IF YOU CAN, GET TO THE BLOCK @ ORANGE ASAP. GOGOOG. gl hf

[jousley]

I took in F-Zero GX and a Def Jam Vendetta that I had picked up earlier today at Target for $4.96. When I got into the store, I bought All Star Baseball for $5.99 and a Madden 2002 for $7.99...THEN traded those four in to the clerk...walked right out with FF:CC ;)

You traded in F-Zero GX? I would give $15 for that game easily.

Get it in May when it drops to $19.99 with the Best Buy GGC and you can get it new for $15

[sm04as]

Is that true that it will drop in May to $20?

[jmon22]

Is that true that it will drop in May to $20?

How long did it take for FFX, another square game, to drop to 20 bucks. Don't sit there and wait for it.

[dcfox]

I think they were talking about F-Zero GX.

[jmon22]

I think they were talking about F-Zero GX.

I knew that. :oops: Actually it is confirmed that F Zero will drop to 20 sometime in May.

[yeldarb367]

Is this deal now dead? Or will it still work tomorrow, April 4th?

[JibbaJabba]

Is this deal now dead? Or will it still work tomorrow, April 4th?

It's dead.

[BigBen]

Went back and exchanged FF:CC for Champions of Norrath :) I should have gotten multiple copies of FF:CC and exchanged it for any other $50 game. ;)

[P0ldy]

I did this at two EBs. I went to Gamestop and (luckily) found three games that came out to $18 total. I had three POX (piece of shit) titles to trade. Then I went to a different EB in the mall (those fucks are such dicks) and bought two more cheap sports titles. I got two new copies of FFCC for $40. I traded them back in and got $100 in credit. Traded my gamecube in with a few games and an old playstation I found in my closet that must've been there for years. I told the guy I was going to take keep a few of the games, because I knew that the trade-in value was going to be complete shit since I checked it earlier at another EB. Like a dollar for Eternal Darkness. But he said, "You're helping me out, I'm going to help you out" and gave me at least $10 on all the low-priced titles. I wound up with $157 in credit from that, and $100 from the two FFCC's on top of that. I bought a new Xbox, new Ninja Gaiden (STELLAR GAME), and pre-ordered Fight Night 2004. All thanks to you, Godj. Thanks.

[Mysteriouskk]

u can return the game, and get $50 in credit? They don't care?

[P0ldy]

If it's returned unopened with a receipt. The guys who said they'd take it back were very cool (not the assholes in the mall who would've probably not even honored the deal to begin with). I got one copy at one EB, then another at another. Both said they would give me full credit for the copies if I returned them within 7 days unopened.

[BigBen]

I had no problems exchanging my game for another $50 game. My new receipt has no mention of the trade in, so I'm sure I could trade it in for store credit if I wanted to.

[AGuth]

I already had FF:CC and got two more with this deal on Friday. I went back to EB today and exchanged them both (sealed and with receipt) for PSO Ep 3 CARD and RE: Outbreak . The guy working the register felt it was sketchy doing the exchange, but I'm a regular customer so he was cool about it. However, it doesn't say anything about not being able to make exchanges on promotions in the return policy (as far as I know of) as long as they are sealed and w/receipt...

[doraemonkerpal]

dang, i wish i thought of that. i coulda finally got CoN :(

[Pokemorpher1]

I was so lucky that I got Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. I had been calling around different EBs and of course, some didn't know anything about the deal, some only allowed any GameCube games, and some allowed any system's games as long as they weren't sports. Then one of the EBs told me to have the other EBs that didn't know of the deal look it up under "Marketing" and then "Preowned/Promotions" (or something like that.) Because I didn't want the EBs to know it was me calling them again, I had my dad call them, and before he even got to mention looking up the deal, the employee said that they have the deal! That just goes to show that everything varies, depeding on the employee, at EBs. Anyway, I went to the closest EB at the mall and we told the guy that we wanted him to see if our games qualified for the deal, and he said that they did as he proceeded to get a copy of FF:CC. I was kind of confused because he hadn't even looked at what we had yet. Needless to say, he was a very generous employee. He and the other employee actually congratulated me on trading in my unopened Murakumu!
