I'm new to all these game deal things, so can someone explain how a group-buy would work? If each person has to pay for their own game, how is it different from going in-store to buy it themselves??

3 people go in, split the price of 2 games equally and each walk out with a game in hand.

Did somebody say group buy?

Hm... That's like 33.33% off.
I should've waited another month to buy by MS Point cards.

Anyone in Vancouver up for an xbox 120GB hdd group buy for $100 each?

Neat! Thanks for the explanation.

What's with all the good deals recently? The economy's in the tank, jobs cut, and finals around the corner. Argh must resist.

Is Persona 4 out by Dec 6th?

Nope. Shipping date is said to be the 9th, so it should be out by the 10th?

FYI-This does not apply to accessories-No dualshocks/hard drives...etc

Lets get a move on on the group buys. This is what the advance notice is for!!!

Wii fit
Rock Band....
list you groups and locations and wants and ill update the OP!!!

Wait is this sale only for Dec 6th? Or is it a whole week?

Screen-shot, or it never happened.

I need a link to a ad, before I drive down to TRU on the 6th for GOW2, COD:WaW & Left 4 Dead.

Easy for me: Fallout 3; Fable 2; and Left 4 Dead. I may just try to do this online to save the hassle of getting to a store early.

gamer602, you might want to edit the title stating this is for CANADA, since we have some American folks who are trying to get in on the deal! They already had their turn!

Dammit, I did way too many trade ins for games so there's nothing I really want... except Persona 4. Is there anything good coming out between here and Dec 6th?

Also, anyone else expecting a HUGE shitstorm? Do RFDers really go for this? I mean you still have to pay regular price on all games, so there shouldn't be that many right? Or am I seriously wrong here?

Haha I think you're wrong kathos! It ends up being a pretty significant amount of savings, I know I'm probably going to get 6 games, that should keep me set until the summer, I would say. Also, I heard that people have seen a commercial advertising the sale...did you see the commercial on an American channel? If so, this may be for the US, and not for Canada...just throwing it out there...

$59.99 x 2 x 1.13 = $135.5774 = $35 x 3

So if you get any 3 new titles and don't mind getting EB credits, you are getting a free rentals for new releases (until TIV drops).

I think it might be a bit worse. I suppose it depends on how their system is set up, but you might need to still pay the tax on the 'free' game:

$59.99 * 2 + ($59.99 * 3 * 0.13) = $143.38

Also, $35 * 3 = $105, so it's $38 in rentals.

Isn't this posted in the CANADA section of regional deals though?

I wouldn't be surprised if they limit it like their last promo... i.e. not valid on bundled hardware (rock band, gh) or software priced $89.99 and up.

You are correct, but it appears some cannot read, since some American's are posting their intentions on getting in on the sale.
