Update 3: The new website is http://www.tivs.ca thanks to neksus!

Update 2:
Lone Prodigy is awesome and made a new one: http://ebtradeinvalues.scribblewiki.com/Main_Page

Update:
Please update the wiki yourself. The new wiki is http://www.citgocapital.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

RFDers use/edit it as well.



Alright, the Americans have a wiki page with all the EB Games trade-in values and I figured we might as well start one for the Canadian EB. It's good reference for if we ever want to sell our soul or maybe take advantage of loopholes in their promos! I'll try and keep the list updated as much as possible.

If you have info to add, please do so in the following format:
*Game Name - $# - Month Day, Year
For example:
*Sonic Mega Collection - $8 - September 29th, 2006.

Group them by system please!

I haven't been updating the wiki as of late, since I'm working on a new SQL/PHP database, which should hopefully streamline the process of updating.

Question: how do you want to be able to update a game's TIV? Do you want to a) search for the game, then update, or b) input the game, pick the corresponding one (so no overlaps) from a list, then update? I'm not sure which one will be harder to code though. ;)

Best answer is both! though the first option would probably be easier. If you could keep a history of the previous prices, that would be good too, like keep the previous 3 values entered. Just a thought.

360 VERSION is $42 at BBV.
I'd imagine PS3 is the same.
This was 2 weeks ago.

no wonder.. I've been trying to keep up with the wiki from RFD and it's been a lot of work :p

I think the less typing the better, so a big drop down (per console) would be good with an option to search and then enter a new title if nothing comes up.
 
PSP - Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 - 13.00
360 - Battlefield: Bad Company - 35.00
PS3 - Burnout Paradise - 8.00 (guess the 30$ psn version coming killed the trade in)
 
Blazing Angels II for Xbox360 = $6
Motorstorm for PS3 = $7 (someone said it was $2 on RFD, but I went in today and it was $7 at EB)
 
[quote name='MatiasB']Is the Lone Prodigy page down? Did we lose all that hard work ?[/quote]

It looks like the whole scribble wiki site is down, hopefully just temporarily.
 
[quote name='Lockescythe']man went in to check how much I could buy mass effect for and it was 54.99..


WTF does eb give 2$ for a game they resell for 50. I don't get it.[/quote]

Two words:

CHA CHING!
 
The NHL promotion specifically says no duplicates. At the EB in Capilano Mall, I trade in 2 copies of one game + 1 of another (never tried 3 of the same) for trade 3's all the time, but after their giant sale I've always been denied trading duplicates at Pacific Centre, even for just straight credit, no promos. They said I had to come back the next day to do it. My guess is if you get a chill csr they'd do two of the same games for NHL.
 
Trade in value for Two Worlds has gone down to 7

Medal of Honor Airborn 360 is also 7

Turning point for 360 is about 14.

I totally failed at getting 3 games from BBV to trade to EB for the get a full game deal.
 
I traded in 2 copies of Dead Rising yesterday + $10 for NHL, so I guess that's a YMMV. I called before hand to ask if I could, they said yes so I went ahead and went to the pawn shop :D

Thank god I got rid of my two copies before it went down. Got two full priced games at almost half price using the 3 for Free deal and buying from BBV.

Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3) - $35
Soul Calibur 4 (PS3) - $35
Battlefield: Bad Company (PS3) - $35
Civilization Revolution (PS3) - $32

Xbox 360
Superman - NOT ACCEPTED

Basically, from that list, go to Blockbuster instead of EB for: TMNT, Far Cry Instincts Predator, Enchanted Arms, Dragon Quest Swords, and We Love Golf. You'll get 20 bucks extra for those if you do that. For the rest of the games I listed, go to EB.

Wii Battle of the Bands 13$ (costs only 10$ new at EB, won't last long)

I used SSX Blur, Battle Bands + 10$ to get NHL 09 PS3.
