[Canada]EB Games/Gamestop: Trade 1 get $20 off a new release

[Lone_Prodigy]

Applies to games with TIV $8+ (or $9+, depending on the store).
Applies only to new release games priced at $49.99 and $69.99 (so, CoD WaW, Tenchu Wii, etc.)

GTAIV TIV is now $25 for both systems.
DIRT (PS3) has $19 TIV.
PSP Phat has $90 TIV.

Spoke to the CSR and she said that EB/GS are trying to be more aggressive with trade-ins since they've been slowing of late.

Also, they had a bunch of PC shovelware on display for $1.89 each new.

Hmm, the "deal" is, trade in 1 decent game...and still pay more in cash them amazon

bah. they changed the ad too...i was literally going to take it in today. oh well.

Hmm, even if you find a game that qualifies for the trade-in at TSCC, you'd still only save $15 or so.

I'm guessing that you don't keep the the credit you get from the game

What's with you and Amazon.

But yeah I agree this deal really sucks: even if you find a $10 game you're only saving $10 and since EB's jacked up the price of certain games it nullifies any savings you might get. I guess if you had only one game lying around and don't want to do the legwork to get 2 more it's okay.

Uh, no. Same way it works for every trade-in promo at EB.

PSP fat is $90?
Can anyone else confirm this? Is the price itself advertised on any flyers they're handing out? I'd love to get rid of my old one.

I'd love to get rid of my PSP phat for $90...

 

[Spades22]

This deal sucks...first off they charge me 69.99, then I pay at least 10$ for a game, get 20$ back, and end up paying 59.99 which IS full price a couple months ago LOL!
Ummm...I'll just be going to amazon and getting my 43$ games >_>

 

[psyck0]

I asked to do this at my local EB and they said it wasn't on. Do you have a listing for this?

 

[rkpoole49]

also would like a confirmation for this psp phat for 90
