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!

Just to add:

Futureshop June 1
Heavenly Sword - 10.00 (available from EB used for $17.99)
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (wii) - 10.00 (available from EB used for $12.99)
Folklore - 10.00 (available from EB used for $17.99)

Also, the promo still rings through with the original BBC version, which is native 1080p and not 1080i as well as has a runtime that is over 60 minutes longer. And no Oprah. (not that she does a bad job at narrating, but might as well stick with the original because nature documentaries just sound more educational with a brittish accent.)

Hmmm, been looking for a cheap copy of eternal sonata to play through. Any time i've been to EB Games in the last while there have been no copy's at my local store. Has anyone traded in 'Darksiders' for the 360 lately? I finally finished that play through and am looking to trade it in. Just wondering what prices people have been getting.

Traded in a couple days ago (June 7) but should not of changed in the meantime.

Both at EB Games.

Darsksiders (360) - $19
COD: Modern Warfare 2 (360) - $28.50
 
As of yesterday they lowered the TIV of God of War 3 to $30 @ EB.

I argued with the salesperson a bit and showed them the printout of the $35 value listed online, but they told me that the online advertisements don't always match up with what they're running in-store and since there weren't any advertisements around the store with the value they could only give me the value in the system. When I got home with a game I bought though, I noticed that the slip they throw into every bag had the $35 TIV listed. What an asshole.

I never used to hate EB/GS employees(in fact, a lot of them used to be REALLY cool and nice), but lately it seems that I'm hating them more and more. A few recent examples.

1. Employee didn't give me the pre-order skin for GoWIII Ultimate Edition cause he was convinced that it already came with the Ultimate Edition. Totally not even the same one.

2. Asked the same employee if they got any Big Boss PSP bundles(not the green one, but the army print one) which is a GS/EB exclusive. He looks at me like I'm an idiot and says that it's only in Japan. :roll:

3. Here's one that really made me angry. Had exactly $45 in trade credit which was exactly enough to cover SSFIV because trade credit's tax free. Employee charged me for tax anyways and when I asked him about it he says that's the way it's always been. He seriously couldn't care less.

Went to two other EBs where the employees actually knew what they were doing. Both said I was in the right but that they couldn't do anything cause it wasn't in their store's system and apologized for not being able to help. Just knowing others knew I was right was almost enough, but decided to try my luck at one more store.

The manager at the last store was super nice and researched the situation. Even though it wasn't from their store, he just grabbed a copy of SSFIV, scanned it as a return and "sold" it to me at $5 cheaper. Awesome!
 
I updated TIVS.ca with those:
June 12 2010

Exit DS $0.25 EB, $1 FS
Monster DS $2 EB, $0.25 FS

Animal Crossing City Folk Wii - $0 EB (do not take it back, too much in stock) - $22 FS

Sacred 2 Fallen Angel X360 - $7 EB, $25 FS

EBGames June 12th

Little Big Planet GOTY (PS3) - $18
Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3) - $6.50

Futureshop:

NHL10 (360) - $25

Traded NHL10 for the Bourne Trilogy on Blu-Ray and LBP and MGS4 towards MGS Peacewalker CE. CSR wouldn't let me do a powertrade for the CE, but somehow the "trade 3 or more $5+ get $5 extra trade credit" was applied to each of the 2 games, so I ended up with an extra $1 towards it (since MGS4 was

Call of Duty: World at War (360) = $8.50
Halo 3: ODST (360) = $25.00

May be risky since the EB TIV is so low already, but BBV has Wet (PS3 and 360) for $14.99. Not sure what the current 360 TIV is though; assuming just as low or lower.

LittleBigPlanet 18$
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare GOTY PS3 15$
House of Dead Overkill Wii 11$

Heavy Rain 23.50$
 
Hey guys, just thought I'd let you know what I've been up to.
I've field tested this a few times and it seems to be pretty good. I've still got a few more changes to make and optimize but I'm hoping to get it finished this week.

Seems really good Neksus! I thought you discarded the iPod-iPhone app idea.

Couple questions (I could not see on the screenshots?)

- will it be possible to update tivs on the fly (using iOs app or iPhone tivs.ca?) (would help to get more updated information sooner).

- will it store TIVS offline to access when no Internet is around (Especially useful for iPhone users without data plan or iPod Touch)?

Other ideas in general for tivs.ca:
- could users with X trade-in points get to automatically update tivs.ca without a need for moderator approval?

Thanks

The app uses local storage to store the most recent value on your phone, so you don't need internet access to use it. Updating the app's information will be relatively simple - press a button, wait a few seconds, and it should be good. There is no loading of anything if the information is already on your phone.
This release will not support account information, but the next one will.

I suppose I could implement the whole above x points thing, as it should be pretty valid.

PS: I'm not sure if I answered your "on the fly" questions, as it is rather ambiguous.
 
Good stuff for the offline browsing, that's a really good feature I will certainly pay to get.

---

Sorry, I wasn't clear for my 1st question about «on the fly». I meant update while using iPod Touch or iPhone (not have to be on a computer). Therefore, tiv could be updated before going back home (making value more accurate because less delay between asking for TIV and updating the value, and not forgetting to post it on CAG-RFD-directly on tivs.ca)

Since you said this current app version will not support account information, I assume it means tivs cannot be updated within the app.

---

For the «above X points», it's really a small thing, I don't know how much time it takes to program such a feature.
 
EB Games June 20

Xbox 360

Mass Effect $10
Oblivion GOTY $12

Seriously Neksus, I am going to purchase an Iphone in the very near future for the sole purpose of making my hunting easier. I am so looking for offline browsing!
 
iPhone4 unlocked will be $650 (16 gigs) + tax at apple.ca.

You can buy that this year and sell it next year when you will be eligible for upgrade.

It's expensive though.
 
Hmm that's not too bad...wonder if there's a market for a used 8gb 3g :razz:
It's in pretty good condition, a few tiny little scratches near the top glass (doesn't affect the actual viewing area) from the first day I had it, but other than that it's solid.
 
[quote name='ichit4k4_set0']Awesome, tivs.ca estimated worth is 3504$ US. Good job guys!/QUOTE]


Tivs.ca Estimated Worth $3,251.6

Lucky you to get bonus for 2 systems, I think the promo is supposed to be limit 1... especially considering you bought a not-that-pricey system.
 
Gamestop:

Modnation Racers PSP - $12 + $5. Surprised it was this low, got this from the PSP bundle from FS, no case. How much do they deduct if there's no case?
Halo 3 - $6.25 + $5
Blur - $28.25 + 5
Uncharted 2 - $35 + $5
FFXIII - $35 + $5

Got about $141.50 in total, not bad.
