oh wow. this sounds pretty hot.
I hope the deals are as good as they say.

game_fanatic · Dec 31, 2009

Truthfully, I don't think they will be. They had a "Deal of the Day"-type event in the summer, and it was pretty mediocre. It was just price drops on games that were over-inflated anyways, except when Saints Row 2 for PS3 went on for $19.99. Here's hoping!

Lone_Prodigy · Dec 31, 2009

I should probably just look it up myself, but how's shipping?

game_fanatic · Dec 31, 2009

Pretty reasonable, Lone. It's $2.99 for a single game, but something larger, like the AC2 Master's Edition, is $14.99.

telepathy · Dec 31, 2009

lol watch they have ACII master edition for $29.99.

sinath · Dec 31, 2009

hopefully some deals on preorders..

strife18 · Jan 1, 2010

Well I'm not too worried about them getting too good of deals. Though there are a few older games that I would love to have some sweet deals on.

We'll just have to wait and see.

game_fanatic · Jan 1, 2010

The "rare" and "collector's" items intrigue me

Yeah, I'm keeping my credit card at the ready.

ragnar14 · Jan 2, 2010

Bump. Sale is on, and VGP is getting hammered

taliosfalcon · Jan 2, 2010

They must really skimp on their web hosting. I mean they're not exactly high profile and it's pretty much completely toast =0

Apollo Creed · Jan 2, 2010

I've been trying to add something to cart for 10 minutes now with no success.
Oh well, I'll take it as a sign that I shouldn't spend any money today.

game_fanatic · Jan 2, 2010

Oh yeah she's really slow. Here's hoping the deals suck so we don't feel like we missed anything lol

Well this did get mentioned on RFD. And they're running addons that refresh the page every 5 seconds checking for changes :roll:

Apollo Creed · Jan 2, 2010

Blazblue Premium Pack for $39.

That's all I wanted. Not meant to be, unfortunately.

intruder_xo · Jan 2, 2010

LOL!

I wonder what are the so big specials, as indeed the site is slow like molasse... but it doesn't help that they are a thread about this sale event on RFD ahahaha ;-p.

taliosfalcon · Jan 2, 2010

I managed to get blazblue into my cart..but there's no way i'm going to be able to successfully checkout..I wish they'd put the ps3 LE tekken 6 bundle up with the 360 version though =(

CageyMoose · Jan 2, 2010

No doubt RFD's hoarders are tripping over one another to clean up as much as possible.

PuppetYuber · Jan 2, 2010

bummer, most good stuff is only on xbox 360 and not PS3 lol

game_fanatic · Jan 2, 2010

I think the Blazblue 360 LE was less popular, which made it more available than the PS3 version. You can't even find a PS3 LE around anymore, let alone find one on sale! I'd try and update the title, but I can't even access the sales page, so we'll just chat amongst ourselves in here and wait for a sweet deal heh

game_fanatic · Jan 2, 2010

COD:MW2 Hardened Edtion, $59.99 (360), $69.99 (PS3)
COD:MW2 Prestige Edition, $99.99 (360)
Batman: AA Limited Edition-$59.99 (360)

Not bad, I think we'll see the Batman LE drop in price further come the summer.

Also some great $10-$20 games!

PS2
Dragon Quest VIII-$10

360
UT3-$10
VF5:Online-$10
Too Human-$10
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway-$10

DS
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass-$20
Chrono Trigger-$20
Disgaea DS-$20

intruder_xo · Jan 2, 2010

Hmmm

Finally got to see the specials page... hmmm let see...

Move along nothing to see...

Not too much deals for PS3 :whistle2:

( even for Xbox 360 beside the Blazblue bundle and maybe Blue Dragon at 9$ not much thing of interest.

Especially after those other boxing day deals for game at 19$ or even better deals like I got for games at 9$ from Amazon.ca ;-) this look very meeehhhh.

gizmo29 · Jan 2, 2010

does anyone know where the deals are located on the website? When I go to "Special Orders" section, it is totally empty, if someone could post a link it would be appreciated

PuppetYuber · Jan 2, 2010

The sale is actually pretty decent. Most of the ps2 rpgs on sale i bought from them at full price earlier in 09 lol and they are still sealed!

taliosfalcon · Jan 2, 2010

The TE 360 fightstick just went up for 120..thats not bad

game_fanatic · Jan 2, 2010

Shipping for the heavier items is quite expensive, for instance $14.99 for the Batman: Arkham Asylum LE

SVxM · Jan 2, 2010

DSi Black looks good at $149.99 http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=15508

ragnar14 · Jan 2, 2010

Here's a 3-4 minute old list (minus pics) for anyone who can't get the page to load.

PuppetYuber · Jan 2, 2010

PSP
Dungeon Maker II - The Hidden War - 19.99
Phantasy Star Portable - 14.99
Killzone Libration - 9.99

PS3
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 - 49.99

Wii
Raving Rabbid Party 2 - 9.99
Rune Factory - 29.99
Mini Ninja - 29.99

ragnar14 · Jan 2, 2010

Hmm, the list doesn't seem to be growing anymore. I don't see anything I'm willing to fight my way through checkout for, so I'm going to sleep. I donno if it was worth staying up till 7 to hit refresh a bunch. It was kinda fun though :bouncy:

taliosfalcon · Jan 2, 2010

I was hoping for a decent deal on the SE 360 fightstick..instead they have the SE ps3 stick and the TE 360..ARGH

game_fanatic · Jan 2, 2010

Also, if you're interested in several games (I wouldn't mind getting a handful of the $10 games) then th shipping can really add up. I'm also 15 minutes away from the store itself, and would much rather just pick them up from the store itself.

TKO236 · Jan 2, 2010

Meh these r just the regular prices we seem to get every month,FNR is $19.99 at BB now all of them r matched by store -_- will skip

telepathy · Jan 2, 2010

Suikoden V for $19.99 new is actually really good

game_fanatic · Jan 2, 2010

Beyond Good and Evil for $10 looks alright!

game_fanatic · Jan 2, 2010

Onimusha Essentials for $14.99 is a steal! Great trilogy, especially if you like the Resident Evil-style gameplay!

maigoyume · Jan 2, 2010

Managed to pick up DQVIII, kinda bummed that BlazBlue was sold out, site was getting slammed like a hooker on a friday night :drool:

Stanger31 · Jan 2, 2010

just picked up COD:MW2 Prestige Edition and Street Fighter 4. Pretty decent deal even with the shipping cost.

ayuchan · Jan 2, 2010

snagged rune factory 2, .hack g.u 2+3 as well as atelier iris 2 : D

darkandlong · Jan 2, 2010

I'm tempted to pick up Saints Row 2 for 15 bucks.

sinath · Jan 2, 2010

nothing for me... grrr. what was actually 80% off..

ragnar14 · Jan 2, 2010

Stuff that sold out drops off the list. Quickly skimming over the list I posted on the last page I see this was ~85% off:

High School Musical With Microphone - PS2
$64.99CDN
$9.99CDN

Not a deal though IMO :lol:

jeffx · Jan 2, 2010

I had Rule of Rose in my cart then it disappeared as I was about to pay --- WHO WAS IT???

TronB · Jan 3, 2010

All I ordered was Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team, just because I needed an excuse to pick up the first game after already buying Explorers of Time from The Source a few months ago.

...

Just sayin'.

8-[

ragnar14 · Jan 3, 2010

Still not a deal. If they pay me and I'll consider taking it from them
