I do full set. I don't ship much but what I have is complete(disc,manual,case). I would prefer to only get the same in return but goozex only has (disc,case). So far I've been lucky. I've even got sealed a few times. with batman :Rise of Sin Tzu I got not only new but collectors edition. I was shocked awesome. sometimes If i see a good deal. I'll buy and ship new.

haha thanks wolfkin.
but that seems so complicated lol.
i guess i better just wait for the psn cards.

oh 1 more question, if my psn account is canadian.
the prices for games are both 9.99 for canadian and US.
isn't it cheaper to buy it in canada? lol

I found the thread, thanks for the tip!

I tried downloading the plugin but it said its only for americans. So it won't let me download it.

If you transfer funds into paypal the funds stay as the currency you use to transfer them in. If you transfer in CAD funds they will remain in CAD until you go to use them at which point they will automatically be exchanged at a rate that is close to the current exchange rate.

I have a query!

I see that New Super Mario Brothers will give me $10 more at Future Shop. How do trade-ins work there? Do they put your credit on a gift card? Can you buy something with the credit on the spot like at EB?

Gift card, yes. Buy on the spot, well, kind of, I had to take the card over to a normal cashier to buy something (non game related) with it.

It does indeed go on a gift card... I don't think you can just directly put the credit towards your purchase without having it on a gift card first, if that's what you're asking.

Also, keep in mind that Future Shop will tax the credit they give you when you use it, while EB's credit is tax-free!

Thank you. Apparently, NSMB is $25 so I'll probably take it to EB when I finish the game this week. I do prefer EB over anybody else in that regard.

no such thing as 'case+disc' on goozex.

the options are:

full package
game+manual
game only

sorry i meant full package or game only

Anyone seen inFamous up for pre-order for less than $70? Amazon.ca just dropped their price from $70 to $66.99, was hoping for something more like $60. I guess it's a little early to know what most stores are going to be charging on launch day.

As suggested, Infamous is available for pre-order at Wal-Mart for $58 ($10 down). I picked mine up at one of the Gatineau stores. The Pre-Order case includes the code for the Infamous Demo (and it peels off - do not attempt to scratch).

Does Best Buy allow pre-orders?

So, is it true that if you pay off a game in advance when pre-ordering at EB, you won't have to pay any tax on the amount you've deposited? You could be saving almost $8 on a $60 game if this was true. So you could get the game for 59.99 flat? Anyone know the answer to this?

When pre-ordering, you can choose what amount you pay, but you still pay taxes. You choose a $5 amount to guarantee the the order, or you can pay for the full order at one time. If you are using credit, then the credit is taken off before taxes are applied, but if you are using credit/debit, the taxes are added on the spot if you pay for the game in full, or are added on when you pick up the game if you put down a smaller deposit. If I'm wrong, buy all means, let it be heard! Cheers.

How does tax work at EB Games?

Oh, I've heard people say that they don't tax credit at EB, and complain that places like Blockbuster do. I see that being said pretty often, did I just misunderstand what they meant?

Does anyone know how exactly the Uncharted 2 MP beta will be distributed? Because I preordered Infamous from WalMart, but no where on the packaging does it say anything about Uncharted 2.

Trade in credit goes straight into your Edge card and that has no tax on it.

Refunds and any other credit that goes on a Gift Card will have taxes on it. This credit also includes their 'Satisfaction Guaranteed' game of the moment (ex right now it's UFC), so you get taxes on that back but purchases made with this will be taxed.

I think it is an option from within the game itself (just like Crackdown and Halo 3). This is just a guess on my part.

How did you like the Infamous demo? I thought it was awesome. A little Assassin's Creed, add in some Crackdown, and mix in a little Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Stir it all up and out pops Infamous! Good times.

The first shipment of inFamous will include a code in the box that lets you into the U2 beta.
