So is anyone else excited about this game. I haven't been this excited since Secret of Mana (Seiken 2) for the Super Nes. I tried playing the inferior Legend of Mana, but it just didn't feel the same. Nothing like beating the hell out of monsters with 3 of your buddies, this game is gonna kick ass!!! Regardless of what the reviewers of Game Informer have said. Its a good thing I don't take their reviews seriously, they do have nice pictures though.

I'm certainly excited about it. I've been anticipating it's release ever since I played it at E3. Too bad I am broke...

Trade in four games at EBgames and get it for "free" + tax

Can't wait. I going to reserve it to get the free link cable.

yeah, I'm excited for it as well, it looks like it will be really cool, I found myself a mp partner as well so it should be fun

Had it pre-ordered for months now. :wink:

It looks cool, shame it's only on Gamecube, and you cannot play it's full potential unless you have multiple players/systems. Sounds like a lot of money involved to me.

I pre-ordered it already for the Link cable. It looks very fun.

I lost my SP, thank god I can still use my controller!

I'm sure i'll ger flamed for this..
but i noticed that you can still put 5 bucks down at any eb and get a free link cable....

i know i'm not the only one who has taken advantage of this... not wanting to pay 15 bucks a cable for me and three friends....

honestly....
flame away....
but here is no obligation to purchase the game after you put a 5.00 deposit... and no.. they wont ask for the cable back...

just reserve it at four eb's or so.....

i mean...
heck...
its easy for me cuz i'm in NYC... but if you happen to stop by some some mall you never go to.. and want a 5 dollar cable... just reserve CC there... and get your cable...

then when they call you saying they have it....
just say sorry...i got it already as a gift.. thanks agnyway....
there ya go.

been doing this for years honestly with t-shirts and other promos and what-not....
not a scam... just... sort of a loophole i guess.

have fun.

Why would you get flamed for that? That is an awesome idea! Wish I would have thought about it myself! You belong amongst us cheapassgamers!

no, actually it is a scam.

listen man.....

suppose you did as i did.....

just walk into any eb....
ask if the free cable for 5 dollar promo is still going...
tell the guy... hey... i'm definately not gonna buy it here.. but i'm gonna give you five to reserve it anyway... just for the free cable... in fact... you CAN call me when it comes in... but chances are....
i will already have it.... fact is.. i just need another cable... and you guys have a promo.... here's my five... thanks for the cable...

is that a STILL a scam?

You need to cancel your account here. Is this any more fraudulent than hundreds (or perhaps thousands) of CAGers repeatedly using the Best Buy Gift Card to their advantage? Or perhaps the same number of people using an Amazon/TRU price reduction code that was intended for a single consumer? Or worse yet, (and I know lots of people do this), buying all the $5 and $10 games at the clearance sales/racks just to turn around and trade them in for more store credit at EB. Is that a scam? Please...

while we're on that 5 dollar game subject...
how did you think i intended to PAY for FFCC?

mine is coming free after trading in four 3.50 copies of Fantavision.

Scam? I think not.

i won't flame you, but i won't do it for moral issues.

but if u look back at the "buy one get 50% off" for Mad Catz accessories deal at EBgames, you'll see that they have the cable for $9 and get it for $4.50 with something else.

or, if u can't settle for a 3rd party product for this, like me, u can get the official nintendo one for $10, free shipping.

Bla bla bla bla bla.

This website is half exploitation of deals anyways... I'd think "morality" should be the least thing on anyones mind.. good idea, by the way.

with the best buy gift card and and the eb trade in deals you are not entering into an agreement you are planning to then break. you paid for the gift card and you are trading in 4 games. those are the only prerequisites to fulfill those deals. how would you like it if eb then said, oh sorry but we got those 4 games from someone else and didnt give you your credit but kept your games. chances are youd feel scammed.

Sure I'm getting it. With EB's preorder deal, I couldn't resist. Four $5 games from Circuit City equal one brand new FFCC with a free GBA/GCN link cable? I'm there.

I suppose there are different ways to look at this, but I do not see it as a scam. You are paying $5 for a spot in line. If you leave the line, you leave the line. Now, if you were to try to get your $5 back without returning the cable, that would be a scam (and it probably wouldn't work either).

On a side note, when Legend of Zelda: OoT first came out on the N64, I pre-ordered it at EB. When I went to pick up my game, they hadn't received the extras that were supposed to come with it. I kept calling every few days, waiting for them to arrive. I went out of town for about a week, and when I got back, they said they had come in, but they didn't have them anymore. Now, that was a scam :x . I should have done something about it, but sometimes I am just too easygoing.
