1-You've had some else call on the phone and tell the sales clerk not to hold the item but sell to them instead? These people were not in the store they called on the phone also.
2-No, I don't agree. The person on a phone calling the store is just as much a customer as someone in the store.

2: Absolutely the person on the phone has equal rights. I can agree with policies of "we'll hold it for one hour" for a hot item, but certainly not "in-store first come first serve". Some of us are simply too busy, or too far, for that to be a viable option.

Snagged 3 copies of L4D2 today. Trade 2 and save $60 off Halo Reach? I think I might do that.

Great, and now people who actually wanted to buy L4D2 for cheap to play and not hoard to abuse trade-ins got screwed.

I will cop to being a greedy a-hole. There was still at least 3 in Red Deer @ Bower mall when I was there earlier this afternoon.

AND Karma is a b**** after all. No duplicates apparently.

If you'd participated/read a bit more on the forum, you'd have known that. It's been EB's policy for a while. Not that there isn't ways around that, but you're in the wrong website for that sort of discussion.
Generally we don't condone flipping/hoarding here, RFD may be more your style then. Good luck there, the competition is pretty fierce and they usually don't share deals until they've cleared out their local stock. But you'll fit in great if you don't have a job and can afford to drive around all day flipping/hoarding.

If you decide to stay and participate in a bit more helpful manner, then welcome to the forums.

Weren't you the one who nabbed the copies at Oakridge (I assume that's maigoyume's local Source)?

I'm glad I could facilitate your greed I guess I should think twice about openly posting such deals if we have the likes you of on the forum.

In my defense if you look at my post history I've at least attempted to post deals to save people some cash, and this is only deal I've attempted to capitalize on like this.

Had no idea that it was so frowned upon. I realize now why people comment in such a negative tone when a deal that originated here appears on RFD. I'll definitely keep this in mind for the future.

Managed to pick up LFD2 last night. It was the last copy! Thanks TC!

Why don't you sell your extra 2 copies to users here for cost, so as not to appear to be as much a douchebag?

I usually say I know where there is stock blank city PM me if you would like to know. That way you can choose who gets the info.

Wow, I ing HATE hoarders. Excuse my profanity.

Just called to one of the stores in Brampton and the guy said pretty much no where else has them left. He also said the actual products were discontinued. Can anyone confirm this? Are the actual games not being made/shipped anymore alas Mario galaxy and metroid prime trilogy, or is it just the source who's gonna stop receiving them?

It would make sense for Borderlands to be discontinued with the new edition with included DLC coming out soon. Not sure about LFD2.

bet a goty for l4d2 is also coming, with that new dlc, just like what they did with l4d1

Didn't we have some kind of sub-sub-forum that needed approval to read? Did that die?

Still exists, but may as well be dead for all the posting that happens there.
