I've seen so many different thrread that the forum is getting messy. Since we have an official trading thread, maybe we can have an official one for questions too, because after all, this is the Canadian HOT DEALS forum! It's not right when we have more questions than deals. You can ask any question you wan there, ranging from the cheapest 360, HDTVGame delays, Canadian game rental sites all the way to where the cheapest copy of Burnout is. I can assure you that you will get the same amout of replies here, if not more!


POST YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!

This thread is a good idea. My last question is about BBV Trade 4 and is in that thread, so I don't have any question for this thread... for now at least!

Here's mine:
- Any deals on No More Heroes, Harvey Birdman, or a Brawl preorder?

eh I'm not too huge on a question thread.

I like small questions delagated here. But for like a discussion thread on online rental places isn't bad to have at all.

Our forum isn't ever flooded. Also a topic for the best deal on the current hot systems is never bad either.

However to answer webrunner.

I believe BBV is doing trade any 4 x360s for a brawl preorder. call them and ask.

EB might have trade 3 with 8$ TIV for it. Again I advise calling and asking.


And also its January the warmest time for deals.

I do understand what you're saying.

Like Is this a good tv thread bugs me. But I have no problem with a specific deal hunting thread as long as theres not a copycat thread.

I will assume that was directed to me, since I was the one that posted that (lol). As much as I do agree that a question thread would be helpful and in a lot of ways my burnout question could have been in a thread like this, I would have to disagree that the topic itself is not regarding any deals itself.

Of course the topic was about Burnout deals and I even offered the only one to my knowledge. People also gave their knowledge on any deals relating to the game (but unforutunately was unable to add to the FS one).

Sorry for seeming... whatever you want to see me as... but I'm a little tired. Again, I do think this thread could help.

Did anyone compare Playstation 3, as a blu-ray movie player, to other blu-ray players?

I am looking to convince my father that we buy a PS3 as a blu-ray player.

Does it have a good Load time?

Is it «Full HD»?

Does it play BD-R and BD-RE media.?

I've always wondered what the best places to get games for (and what games I should look for) the Trade 3 at EB and Trade 4 at BBV are.. any help?

PS3 is the best Blu-Ray player available. It is "Full HD" 1080p via HDMI. As well as also playing games, as a Blu-Ray player it is currently one of the only players that has profile 1. Profile 2.0 (BD Live is coming later this year). PS3 also has a harddrive and its own dedicated update system, meaning any Blu-Ray updates will be incuded in the PS3's updates.

Show that paragraph to your dad, and enjoy your PS3.

BBV Trade 4 is usually better. There TIVs are higher, meaning most games will work. EB games TIVs are usually terrible, so most games won't work as trade 3, unless there newish.

Both stores require a minimum TIV of 8$ as of now, I believe. Although a game that is worth 4$ at EB may be worth 10$ at BBV.

It will vary depanding on the combos you have. However, I trade way more often at EB, cause I can find 3 games for around 20 bucks!

Well, that's why I asked.. where can you find 3 games for $20 that qualify? Which games?

Sigh, i really dont want to post the list here, but here's a tip many 9.99 games at BBV and RV will work. There's a 30% discount at RV right now, whch makes the games 6.99. You'll be shocked at what games qualify. Ill give you an example: Pirate 3: At World End PS2 Trades in at 10 dollars!!! Now go find your own games, there are tons more!

Are stores restocking the gold zelda ds lite bundle anymore? Or was it just a <1month thing that I missed and will never be able to get without paying an exorbitant price on ebay.

Haha, you start a Q&A thread, but don't feel like giving the answers?

Classic.

Games will go down in TIV really fast if they are used by a lot of people... it's kinda normal for him not to give a whole list. Pretty understandable, considering human nature.

It is easy to go at EBgames (or some other place, depending of you area), write down names of games you find cheap (but know they are kinda «recent»), then go to Blockbuster and say these names (they can make searched in theur computer), and note the ones with suffisent value.

I also asked the question about cheap games at EBGames, but can understand that someone does not necessary want to give all the info on a public forum.

I just called all the EBGames, futureshop and best buy stores around Scraborough, Ontario and none of them had Guitar Hero III wireless bundle for 360.

Does anyone know where I could get one?

try blockbuster or hmv for hero

from what i understand you're sol on zekda ds. (im sad about it too i wanted one so bad)

I can never find any qualifying games myself. So can't help you there. However if someone hasa minilist they can pm me. I'd be eternally grateful.

My local Rogers Videos have lame selection, but keep track of the newer non-sports releases and wait for sales. For example, Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles for PS2 is $19.99 - 30% at Rogers, and trades for a whopping $16 at EB. No one's going to fight with you over that game.

I have a question about Wii remotes and nunchuks. This week Toys R Us has them at $5 off each. Do sales like that happen very often? I know Dell had the $54 bundle and the Wii Play + nunchuk for $49.99... besides those, have there been other deals in the past? Thanks.
