Some of those deals are in the new GMR and start on the 1st of Aug. I'm into the "Pre Order SW Battlefront & get an exclusive Hasbro SW Figure" (which starts 8/1 - I don't know if you get the figure when you pre order or when you actually pick up the game...anyone know??). Another deal that starts on the 1st, which was not mentioned, is "Pre Order Paper Mario 2 and get a $10 mail in voucher". $40 for Paper Mario 2 sounds pretty good to me.
 
Hmm... hopefully my EB has some good used stuff. I'll probably end up getting Space Channel 5 and Dodgeball Advance, then something else good.
 
Heh, if anyone ever has any EB questions, please forward them my way. You receive the star wars figure upon pickup of your pre-ordered game, not at the time of placing your pre-order deposit. :)
 
Alright, I got a question, say I trade in a PS2 or XBOX game, I get $10 off any hot hit title? Does that mean in theory you can get Red Dead revolver for $19.99? And what titles would be acceptable for trade in?

I'm wondering the same thing here. That would be a decent price for RDR.

yeah i guess since red dead revolver is going to be $29.99 you can trade in a game to bring it down to $19.99. Any old sports titles 2004 and older, along with any pre-played titles that are usually sold for under $9.99 are usually excluded, just call your EB and ask if its a PO game or POX on their computer. If its PO then it will work for the deal. However I think Red Dead Revolver is going to have a universal price drop to $29.99 soon, so it may even be cheaper at other places on sunday sales. But if you can get it for $19.99 then thats not a bad deal ethier.
 
Thanks for the post. I've got piles of crap GBA games from reviews, looks like I'll be getting Pokemon Fire/Leaf with them.
 
Wait a second.... a used Gamecube is cheaper than a used GBA SP? Does anyone else think that's a little odd/stupid? But at least they're finally bringing down the price of a used SP to $80, just like Gamespot. Still too expensive, IMO.
 
are only select gamecube player's choice titles applicable for the 2 for $30 sale? last time they did this(2 for $25 actually on black friday I think) they didn't exclude anything but maybe they've changed it. if not that would be a pretty sweet deal, some of them retail for $30 alone(mario golf, super mario sunshine).
 
if its any 2 games for 30 i want animial crossing and mario golf not bad for 30 knowing that a free memeory card comes in the crossing
 
They're probably going to hose us again on the GC deals, just like every other time. I've been wanting RTCW and MA XB again, think I'll pick them up as the B2G1 deal.

It should be all PC like the black friday one.
 
"*BUY 2 PRE PLAYED GAMES and GET 1 FREE* "

Is there any restrictions on this? I'll probably get two $15 games then like $30+ game for my freebie.

I am 99 percent sure that the free game is of equal or lesser value, so what you mentioned cannot be done, as you could only get a game that was valued at 15 dollars or less since that's what you spent on both of them.

That's exactly right. If you take up one $30 game and two $15 games, you will get one of the $15 games for free.
 
THUG would be a great deal if you have an XBOX/Gamecube because then it would only be $10, a great deal on a great game
 
Oh local EB! Why won't you stock any DCs? Hopefully someone will trade one in by then.

I'd trade in one of my CC games for that $10 discount on those newer games, but I'd be saving less than if I used a GGC.
 
Do they include the network adapter for the used PS2? I mean the adapter is 30-35 dollars and if you buy a new PS2 you get it for free. A used PS2 is 119.99 + 30-35 = over 150 dollars. EB and GS need to realize this.

-Spiderman 2 GBA/PC $19.99*
*after 10 dollar eb gift voucher
[/quote]

Never having taken advantage of one of these deals, Ihave a question.
"10 dollar eb gift voucher"
Isn't that a 10 dollar gift certificate, after mail in rebate, for use on your next purchase? So in actuality the original game itself is full price, *and* you have to buy something else from them later to use the 'gift voucher.' So in a way it's even worse than a rebate, because that's at least cash back.
Please correct me if i'm wrong, this is just my understanding based on reading the signage. I'd like to be wrong, because if I'm right, this phrasing
"-Spiderman 2 GBA/PC $19.99*
*after 10 dollar eb gift voucher"
is an outright lie.
 
It's not a lie, although they do word it like a used car ad, a gift voucher is basically a 10 dollar gift card you get in the mail

It is pretty close to an outright lie. A truer statement would read:

"Buy Spiderman 2 GBA/PC for $29.99, get a $10 gift voucher for future purchase"
or
"Spend $29.99 get $39.99 in value w/purchase of Spiderman 2 GBA/PC"
