I've never dealt with goozex. It sounds cool but it would just be some other thing for me to track and keep on top of. I'd rather kick it old school and purchase or swap locally. Thanks though!

Just wondering but how much old in get from EB for a DS lite with stylus no charger ?

Nope. Only $10 for a used 20GB HDD.
Oh well.

Nothing, because they'll only take it for trade if it has a charger. At least, that's what is written.

Has anyone tried mailing two DVD-sized games in a single bubble mailer? If so, anyone know the cost? Thanks!

Is the T3G1F working on current releases (like Dantes Inferno, Bioshock 2, ME2) at EBgames in Vancouver? Are taxes covered too in BC?

not sure how much it costs off the top of my head, but it's cheaper to get a bigger bubble mailer and place the dvds side by side as opposed to stacking them on top of each other.

I don't know about the T3G1F, but I do know that taxes are covered in BC.

that's what i meant with my above post. don't stack them, put them flat side by side. that way it fits through the slot and it's cheaper to ship.

Great thanks for the tips guys!

Anyone work at Blockbuster? Anyone see a return of the popular "$10 Minimum Game Trade-In"?

I live in a small apt. I don't have kids or kids' friends.
I hate trading in my games for $1.00ish or LESS sometimes.
Curious.

I'm pretty sure BBV stopped doing that once they realised that all they're getting for 10 minimum trade-in games are the annual trash that other stores have to pay to get rid of. I see stacks of 5 dollar sports titles that I KNOW were from their minimum trade in days.

So if there's going to be another one, there's gonna be a long ass exception list.

In my short "career" as a Trader/CAGer I've seen 2 of these Promos from BBV.
During the 2nd one it was well known and circulated amongst us all that under no circumstances would they take any sports games.
That resulted in BBV losing out on a ton of copies of UFC and kickass Racing games. (oops!)

Not sure where else to post this, I live in Toronto and my PS3 got the YLOD yesterday. Did a quick google search and ended up taking it to this guy: consolerepairs.ca. Fixed it overnight for $100 flat w 90 day warranty, works like new again, hopefully it lasts. You might want to consider this if your PS3 dies, I think it costs $190 to send it to Sony and they may not send the same console back.

Anyone know what EB is paying for a 60GB PS3? Thinking about replacing my repaired one with a slim.

I bought Mass Effect 2 and Tropico 3 (both new) for the 360 today at EB and to my surprise, my grand total was a lot less than what I expected it to be. Was this a random promotion that I never heard of or did I just get very lucky and got a nice CSR?

I bought ME2 because of the $59.99 deal but anyways, I don't have a scanner handy, but I'll post what I have on my receipt.

PO - Mass Effect 2 36 - 44.99 6168389 598/700 Orig Price: 54.99 each Disc: 5.00 Match EB Disc: 5.00 GMR 10% Tropico 3 XB360 - 39.99 6196679 398/700 EB EDGE Discount - 5.00 6032163 326/300 S Num: etc, etc Subtotal - 89.98

And yes, they were both new copies and I somehow got an Edge card to go along with it...
Can anyone explain what just happened?

Don't forget the $129.99 Xbox arcade consoles at most Canadian retailers. Good time to avoid a red ring.

Looks like you got charged for the used price of ME2 ($55), then an additional $5 off for "Match EB" (no idea what this is), then got 10% off $50 (EDGE discount).

Awesome! Then I just got a happy CSR because I certainly didn't have an EDGE card prior to the transaction, and well, I got one while it basically paid itself off immediately.

I'm guessing the Match EB is a sort of price match thing?

I am canadian
