Biggest CAG Shopping News

[Prepster]

The death of ebgames.com.......that was probably the only reason i ever woke up half the time before school. Made getting up a lot better knowing I had a chance at scoring some sweet games.....RIP old ebgames.com (

 

[onikage]

The death of EB, the morning update and all the extra discounts that went along with it...

 

[minos1067]

WHAT!!?? TRU/Amazon split?

 

[Rangoth]

CHeap Wii's for all

 

[DawgOnU]

$500/$600 Sony PS3

 

[PyroGamer]

Absolutely none of the nominations will affect me at all... I really can't vote for this one :/


I don't know what to say...

Probably microtransactions... I guess... but it just doesn't feel right saying that... It's really NOT "Big News" material.

 

[Number83]

The death of the EBGames Morning Thread...Wasn't that 2005? Either way, I'm still sad!

 

[Tyga24]

The loss of EBgames.com

 

[FoxHoundADAM]

The PS3 price, I thought there was no way they would go above $400. Boy was I wrong.

 

[vherub]

The loss of ebgames, solely because of how they sold used games online. I have yet to buy a used game only from gamestop and probably never will.

 

[ninjalunchbox79]

Death of EBgames.com and the Morning Update

 

[killswitch64]

$250 Wii! Yay

 

[smarkbran]

definately the wi for 250, what an awesome price for a new console at launch!

 

[nyman]

Death of EBgames had the biggest effect on my shopping.

 

[striker199]

Ps3

 

[Sulik2]

The death of ebgames.com, used to be my #1 online shopping site, now I don't even visit it.

 

[Zenithian Legend]

Had to go with the ps3 price as it pretty much crippled their sales.

 

[jsmith4042]

Due to its ability to make my ass pucker with just an E-3 announcement I will have to go with the PS3. There will be a long wait before Sony gets anymore love from me after the Blu-ray player that happens to play games fiasco!

 

[jngx80]

death of ebgames.com - no more morning updates, boxes/instructions aren't guaranteed, discounts gone, can't use gift card.

 

[simgizshad]

$500/$600 Sony PS3

 

[cubeenigma]

PS3, 2 models, one lacking so much and the other super expensive

 

[Ugamer_X]

[quote name='Z-Saber']That was in '06? Man, it seems like it was three or four years ago (hyperbole, I know).

If that was indeed in 2006, I second its no contest victory.[/QUOTE]
I know, it seems like it was so long ago. It happened early in the year so I think most people forgot about it.

Outside of the microtransactions, the rest of the nominees aren't in the same league. Unfortunately, a good chunk of CAGs never experienced the EBgames MU and therefore don't understand the sorrow it brings to many of our hearts.

 

[sshirhall]

The PS3 price generated a lot of buzz but didn't deter all of us CAGs from getting one.

 

[Puffa469]

The death of EBgames.com and the morning update.

That morning update is what made cag a daily part of my life. And its where I picked up a few hundred of my favorite games.

 

[MrNEWZ]

The death of EB Games. [sigh]

 

[AlienHeadBoy]

PS3 (I almost cried when I found out how much it would cost)

 

[fullhavok]

Wii for me

 

[Apossum]

[quote name='Ugamer_X']The end of the EBgames morning update.

No contest.[/QUOTE]


agreed. lots of new people here who don't remember those great times though.

classic games, 25% off, seeing games go up in real time. *sigh*

 

[mr ryles]

don't think it should be the Wii as it was speculated to be around $150 at certain points so when it was $250 I don't see that as big shopping news.

 

[bearcatjosh]

I just didn't see the PS3's price coming. I was so blind!

 

[Awcrap]

When they revealed the PS3's price.

I knew it was going to be expensive, but that's way more than I expected.

 

[jmillion]

all of the above. but mostly the ps3

 

[Zoracite]

Nintendo Wii

 

[Wa-Keen]

Death of EBgames.com (Now mirrors GameStop.com)
