I got to 363 Bank st. about 10 minutes after it opened this morning and managed to grab MW3, Halo: Anniversary, Skyward Sword, Assassins Creed Revelations, Arkham City and the new Resident Evil. There was already guys grabbing everything they could get their hands on at that point, so it's nice...

There was basically nothing left anyway, it got picked over fast.

Nope, though they are closing (most likely moving) three (4?) of their flagship-ish stores in Calgary, Vancouver and Ottawa by October. Their landlord (Cadillac Fairview) bought out the leases. Other locations are staying put, so I'd imagine stock will mostly be transfered to other locations.

New Super Mario Bros Wii would require a red case, which isn't as easily found. If you already own a copy and are willing to give up your copy's case, you could trade in the second copy though.

Ah. I haven't opened my copy yet so I wouldn't know. :p

Is that new artwork for the reprint?

Thanks for the heads up.

Seconded.

There was a surprising number of games available in Winnipeg; I was ready to go to every location but stopped after my first three (Pembina, Stafford & Grant), netting: Force Unleashed 2 (PS3) New Vegas (PS3) Castlevania (PS3) Dead Rising 2 (PS3) MoH (PS3) Mafia II (360) Of course, I would've...

Which location? I was just at Kenaston and all their value games were $20 (and there was nothing that caught my eye). 5 am trips to Wal-Mart ftw.

I was born in '91 and I can remember K-Mart, there was one at Pembina and Bishop Grandin in Winnipeg. I don't remember ever seeing another one and I can't put a year on when it disappeared so I was probably pretty young... But I remember it!

$18.75 CDN if you want an authentic one direct from Nintendo. Link. Not sure what shipping is like though.

Reading over the RFD thread, it sounds like the Ottawa locations are pretty much done, and this dick on Kijiji seems to back that up.. I was hoping for some new Xbox controllers, but oh well.

Wow, solid. Thanks OP.

Awesome. For Lego Rock Band I showed up 30 min before opening and there were maybe ~8 people in line at my nearest location (Rideau). They had crates of the game though, I'd imagine they couldn't have run out before afternoon.
