Biggest CAG Shopping News 2009

[robbyH]

Cause of the Ps3 drop, I got one. So far, I like it.

 

[Schmackledorf]

I remember when the whole ECA thing first started showing up around CAG and how everyone loved the 10% off at Amazon, and then I remember the thread that exploded to ridiculous proportions in two days time. ECA for sure for me.

 

[Chitown021]

I'm going with the PS3 slim.

ECA Amazon Codes & Cancellation Controversy

 

[greenrocks]

PS3 price drop. Just in time for FF13 release. ^_^

 

[horriblehager]

cc was a nice way to start off 2009

 

[SuxoR]

Most will say ECA and the PS3's remodel and price drop...

but to me it was CC leaving, not only did I lose my job but I have to go all the way to BB to get stuff now T.T

 

[Flak]

ECA business. The discount would have been extremely helpful but some people don't know how to check their greed. At least they accepted my Google mail as actual post and canceled my account.

Amazon Price Matching

PS3 Price Drop.

 

[arthurfaarter]

ECA - I have never seen such a bait and switch en mass before. And yes, it was abusers of the codes that actually caused the downfall, but just unsubscribing from ECA has been such a hassle, I'm still wondering if it was ever worth signing up for, because I'm still unsure as to whether or not my membership will be auto-renewed.

 

[Ultra Woody]

Amazon.com's price matching!

 

[J Bling Blang]

Circuit City's closing. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have scored a good amount of games for cheap.

 

[joeybc86]

[quote name='Maklershed']The creation and downfall of ECA (in a period of six months :lol[/QUOTE]

This. It was a cluster but one that saved me money on preorders.

 

[NOTTULYS]

Gotta go with the PS3 price drop

 

[J7.]

PS3 Slim for the country, ECA for CAGs

 

[ryemm]

ECA for me. I think the Gamecrazy closings are worth a mention too.

 

[sippycupz]

PS3 price drop

 

[Zincdust]

Circuit City shutting their doors sums it up nicely.

 

[utstick]

The Amazon Price Matching is a deal beyond all deals. You stack that with AmazonPrime and it can't be stopped.

Amazon Price Matching

 

[MaxBiaggi3]

I was never a huge fan of Circuit City, but the loss of a major electronics/gaming retail store is a loss of competition for the market in general. I'm sorry they're gone.

 

[ampatrao]

I always hated shopping there, but I have to admit that CC's loss was definitely felt this year. It's loss will continue to affect competition this year. Hopefully Amazon & Walmart can continue their little war of "my cock is bigger than yours" to get more awesome deals into Walmart's B&M stores.

 

[2nahelper]

I was gonna vote Amazon price match, until I remembered how much stuff I got when CC closed. Now I Can't decide. Hmmmm......

[kburns10]

Game Crazy's closing all over Arizona snagged me some MAJOR deals! Got some great deals on older games I missed buying the first time around!

 

[ddotdukes]

Amazon is the king

 

[Blade]

End of the Amazon codes and following controversy.

 

[Killbomb]

Circuit City's closing. Got some good deals plus it affected other store's deals in the aftermath.

 

[Pojomofo]

I got a 360 elite for $269 from Circuit City closing, along with a dozen or so 60% off XBL/PSN point cards

 

[Diad]

CC closing, was a great alternative to bb

 

[akmgmer]

Price Matching wars was fun to watch at take part in.

 

[Dahk]

[Ragnarok379]

ECA Codes Cancellation

 

[MyAnnoyances]

The amazon ECA codes HAVE to be the big thing from last year. That huge controversy pissed off so many people, it'd be stupid not to vote for it.

 

[rlse9]

Definitely ECA. Absolute scum running that organization.

 

[LeadSavior]

Even though I already had one, I gotta say PS3 slim and price drop.
