This years "Game days" sales (remember those 9.89 games?) is running a bit early this year, hopefully a lot of stuff to come, flyer scans will be up on the 3rd, but I am willing to send them for a few good men, regulars only via PM. The rest of you can wait a few days, :)

just be a bit patient with the PMing, i will get back to you guys asap!

Only want Mass Effect.
Are they sale go really fast? do I need to be there first day to ensure my copy of Mass Effect?

I'm aware that's common Nintendo practice, I was asking whether it was common for EB to start a sale on a Sunday. :)

The flyer deals won't go so quickly since you can't flip them (which means RFDs won't be all over it) so you'll have a good chance at it. The daily deals on the other hand... ahem well.

They're probably doing it to coincide with the DSi launch.

Assume the sale starts on the normal day (Friday, Saturday, whatever). They just don't have access to stock until Sunday :razz:
 
So what deems a used game to be a best seller?

I mean will I be able to tell just by going to the store and looking at the shelves?
 
I've been holding out for COD4 to come down in price for the PC :wall: The flyer doesn't list any pc games... anyone know if game days are good for us pc gamers?
 
Hmm. Seems I've missed the boat on this. Didn't realize this "huge" sale was going to start soon. Just took a look at that flyer on their website, but nothing really caught my eye. Granted I only have a PS2 and am only looking for a few more games to round out my collection. Oh well. Maybe there's going to be some decent stuff for the unadvertised daily deals and I can get some gifts for people. Thanks for the heads up.
 
[quote name='cookie15']I bought SOCOM with headset a few days ago at full price and now they have it on sale at 20 dollars off.

Does EB do price adjustments? I'm kinda pissed about this, whenever I buy something it somehow drops in price almost immediately.[/quote]


I think it depends on the individual store. I was able to get back the difference on a game (Elebits) that had a price drop 1 week after I bought it.
 
I got Too Human today for 989 new. It was gutted but for ten bucks I won't complain. It was 8.99 used too but I figure if I pay 10 for a new one, the Canadian Dev that made the game will benefit.
 
Walmart in the states has exclusive rights. Here in Canada its sold everywhere at least in Ont it is. the only thing i can think of is that fact the game is in English only or at least minen is. so ur law 101 or whatever it is might be why ur having issues.

[quote name='CatBoy']My EBGames said that Rock Band: AC/DC is a Walmart exclusive... is that in Quebec only?[/quote]
 
there was one going on at my nearest eb (in bayshore) from apr 3-5th. i also checked carlingwood mall & their eb also is having the sale. BTW those are locations in Ottawa
 
wtf i step into my local eb picked up too human, mass effect for 9.99 but the pokemon games on the other hand still full price 4 some odd reason :S
 
[quote name='qchrono']wtf i step into my local eb picked up too human, mass effect for 9.99 but the pokemon games on the other hand still full price 4 some odd reason :S[/quote]

It's 'cause Too Human sucked, everyone has ME and Pokemon will sell for full price regardless of the quality (hell people would pay full price even if you had to assemble the damn cart yourself!) which is true for most Nintendo dev/published games.
 
[quote name='qchrono']wtf i step into my local eb picked up too human, mass effect for 9.99 but the pokemon games on the other hand still full price 4 some odd reason :S[/quote]

For the pokemon games the flyer states "6 days only Apr 9-14".

Not apart of the game days, but I picked up lotr battle for middle earth 2 for $3.99, worth a try. Also got the acdc track pack, couldn't find too human though, gonna try another EB tomorrow.
 
now if i could only get the five for fifty without buying another PS2, or find someone who would buy it off me.
 
damn...
I planned to go tmr for the gameday sale but my mom decided to go to Seattle outlet tmr.
There's no ebgames/gamestop near the outlet =(
or is there? lol

No. Burlington (about 20 miles north) has 2 Gamestops across the street from each other: it also has a factory outlet so your mom can go shopping there. But the deals are different of course. :)
 
Thanks for posting the add, I bought EndWar for ps3 earlier today for $17 used.

Completely forgot that it was the sale though :bomb: so I didn't check anything else!

There's always tommorow, or next week :)
 
oh, quick question, since this is my first game days sale...

there are other unmentionable games on sale right???

like old ps2, GC, GBA games that went down in price that is not mentioned in the flyer and not part of the weekly/daily deals.?
 
I'm holding out for Folklore. I've been waiting eons for it to drop in price at EB (got tons of credit).

Left4Dead PC would be nice too, but very unlikely.
 
"there are other unmentionable games on sale right???"

As it went last year...there were a number of games at 9.89 unadvertised that would last for a random number of days. *most* of which weren't all that great, and ended up cheap again elsewhere shortly afterwards. there were a few AAA titles, metroid probably the only one that was good and has never been cheap again, but massively hoarded to trade to BBV at the time. New blood was the other top title (later cheap at amazon for a long time). Unbrella chronicles wasn't the best game but hasn't gone cheap. Other stuff like Manhunt 2, super swing golf, battalion wars, TH proving ground, balcksite, GH III...were subsequently cheap.

You might find older stuff with the select 14.99 and less 2 for $20...which isn't a huge deal being you don't get the edge discount
 
thanks, cleared alot i was wondering about.

one way to find out is go on to EB and check it out :D

i was going to buy a huge load of 14.99 GBA games, so, this deal lets me save 10 dollars :p
 
Any new Trade 3 deals to go along with the Game Days? I see the ad on the site only showing Ghostbusters, Splatterhouse and Velvet Assassin. Is there a bigger list?
 
Picked up Mass Effect and ACDC Track Pack at the EB in Pacific Centre. They had a bunch of each left. I also saw Mirror's Edge for ~18 used for the 360.
 
[quote name='Lone_Prodigy']Location location.[/quote]

Mayfair Mall - Victoria BC.

I also happened by the langford location tonight, got my copy of Too Human and Mirrors Edge :)

Can we use this at ebgames Canada? =O

The coupon is YMMV. As I have asked before, it can be entered but most employees won't do it.

As for the deals, my EB Games doesn't start theirs until tomorrow... which sucks. I want Too Human for $10 and crossing my fingers for Valkryia :p
 
On saturday I went to eb games at the place versaille in mtl, ive seen some mass effect new and usede, some used too human, no ac dc or aerosmith
