Great game, lots of fun. I snagged a copy at EB during their one day $10 sale about a year ago.

i suspect you're ref'ing to their GOTD cycles...

i can't recall they had it on sale for GOTD, but anyway, i bought mine for $5 back ^then at BB :D

however, somewhere along the way EBG had their T3GIF promos and i ended up giving this game away for the free pre-order (it's TIV was $8+ at that time, not sure now), .... so now i guess i'll have to go p/u another copy as a replacement :cheesygri

[Comatose]

+1. It was my fave DS game for quite sometime!

[iso]

Really fun game for a while.
My copy also came with a Rumble Pack that you can use with other DS games. Not sure if it was a limited run or if still like that.

when i bought mine at BB a while back for $5 instore, it came w/ the rumble pk...

i remember it also came w/ a coupon for a free slush at Petro-Can too :cheesygri

[Moebiwankenobi]

Hot Damn, nice post! I'm down for a $6 DS game if just to get the rumble pack for other games. Good thing I didn't pick it up when it was $20.

[BaconMunch]

Yes I got this back for 5 something from BB as well, good times, somewhat addicting to beat high scores.

[cruzer24]

I PM'ed this at FS last time BB had it on sale. The rumble pack alone is worth it for $6. It works nice with Elite Beat Agents.

[jonkaho]

one of my favorite DS games.

[InvisibleSoul]

Very good game. I bought it for my girlfriend soon after it came out, and even now she still plays it sometimes. Bottom line is she has put in so many hours on the game that even though I bought it for $40+, it was well worth it.

[Deals Deals Deals]

I'm getting this if I can find it at Best Buy to match.

[sungfra]

Can you use the rumble pk with R4?

[foxmcloud]

Can you use the rumble pk with R4?

you can with a M3.. which is the same thing

[Icetron]

If I can find it then I'll pick a copy up, I traded my old copy from EB into EB. :p Thanks OP.

[BenK]

my top score was only 5mil :|

[k2theman]

I bought this game on a price beat for 6 bucks a while back. Reasonably fun but gets old REALLY fast. I'd be pissed if I paid any more for it. :twisted:

[slippy]

does this come with the vibrator?

[Thundercloud]

According to my research, it should come with a rumble pak that sticks out of your DS Lite.

[justywusty]

i just tried adding it to my cart now, and it came up as 9.99 in the checkout. bought it with 1.49 shipping for 12.97 total with taxes. it's worth it!

[jeffx]

great deals like this are the reason why I keep visiting RFD

thanks

yeah, ... last time i bought it i didn't realize it came w/ a bonus rumble pk... so consider it a bonus :D... either the game or rumble pk is prbly worth $6 alone

i've confirmed it's $50 instore, but it might be a good idea to call to confirm before you headout... just in case the reg. price is actually lower at BB, then the drive may not be worth it if a FS is closer-by....

[mahjongmaniac]

I bought this game on a price beat for 6 bucks a while back. Reasonably fun but gets old REALLY fast. I'd be pissed if I paid any more for it. :twisted:

for only $6, it's well worth the few hrs you've spent on it... IMO anyway... :)

errr... huh?

it comes w/ a rumble pk, as mentioned earlier....

[Haz]

i remember it also came w/ a coupon for a free slush at Petro-Can too :cheesygriI didn't get a free slush...>:(

[sandman101]

thanks op got one for 6.00 at BB,
their price is still 49.99 reg

[WambamTkumam]

I did the very same PM deal last year sometime - very well worth it, great little game of pinball, esp. with that rumble pack.

[mahjongmaniac]

I didn't get a free slush...>:(

it was one of those games (yes, more than one game) which had free slush coupon stickers on them....

i think it was a BB-PetroCan thing as i don't recall FS having them at that time.


and it's only a slush... com'on... no big deal lol :P

^ awesome.... :D

[gsrce]

No copies at any BB in Ottawa, so no PM'ing for us =(

[Princess Zelda]

Great game, well worth it for the Rumble pak too.
I'll pick one up tonight as a gift for my mom. She loves Pinball.

[Pyobum]

Picked up one at FS, there was none left at BB Taschereau to PM. At least FS it right beside.

[mahjongmaniac]

you actually called to check?

if you're using that online system of theirs to check for instore inventory, a word of advice: don't trust those signs regardless if it's a "checkmark" or a "not avail. at this location"

[zoro69]

None here so pmed the pokemon one to 11.50 and got the pinball at FS.

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10071316&catid=22020

surprisingly, it's still $50 at BB, even tho $30 reg. price at FS.

http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFS10071316&catid=22032


not bad for $11.50, but i recall EBG sold them for $10 repeated a few times during their GOTD cycles....

[ai_c]

thanks! got a copy. the cashier didn't want to give the 10% original (just the pm) but asked to talk to the manager and he agreed. tons of copies at the queensborough landing.

[mahjongmaniac]

PMed a couple copies today at BB...

the cashier gave me the same company BS.... i told him to ask his MOD or phone the 1-800 CS line. he gave his MOD a call and asked about it ... i couldn't make out the answer but he insisted 100% PM only.

i insisted him to call 1-800 CS to find out the "real truth"... for some reason, after calling to confirm stock and a bit of waiting, he just gave it to me for $6 :cheesygri. there was no line or anything, so i was surprised he just "gave in" like that....



it appears that the MOD's have told their cashiers to 100% PM only for sister companies... which is annoying at times b/c i'm sure they know the "real truth"....

I called and asked 2 days in a row and got 2 different employees both saying they were sold out.

Went into the one closest to me to check as well, they had none.

Really would like one for $6.00, not going to pay $10.00 though =/

[mahjongmaniac]

honestly, IMO $10 is still a pretty good deal already....

i don't think you'd be able to find it anywhere else for cheaper brand new.

hahaha... yeah... ok... blame me for your impulse buy... :razz:

[mahjongmaniac]

bump

last day for PM for those interested....

[wysiwyg]

Just tell them when they give you the "same company" excuse that you will pay with a gift card from BB (at FS) or vice versa. When they say that it cannot be processed, tell them, why? It's the same company!;)

[slippy]

i bought one and the vibrator sucks!

bingo! ;)

you can't return items at the other sister store either ... so ... so much for the "same company" excuse.... :rolleyes:

prbly too late for you Easterners to PM at BB, but maybe still possible for ordering online for ISPU *if* FS online shows green checkmarks indicating stock avail. at your local FS stores...

All stores in Ottawa have green checkmarks, if anyone still wants to ISPU one tonight before the sale ends.

well, you're paying $10 to play the game, and not for the bonus rumble pk right? :)

[CloakedPuppet]

Thanks to the OP for posting this...I picked up a copy yesterday - great game BTW. :)
