EBGames/FutureShop/BestBuy/TheSource - Trade-In-Values (TIV) Thread - TIVs.ca

[Dan_Kow]

Does anyone know if any liquidation sales in the US had gift cards available for use at BBVs? I have some credit and I really know that I'm taking a gamble but I have faith that they will give us a notice for when the last day to use gift cards will be.

The big problem with that strategy, even if GCs are allowed during the fire sale (which is very doubtful), is that there will literally be nothing worthwhile to buy. I hit 3 BBV stores this weekend to use up the very last of my DVD/game credit (could not resist a few more trades while the window was open), and did that because the shelves were almost bare. Got lucky and found some nice new games, but it seems that more and more BBV credit holders are clearing their accounts, and the shelves at the same time.

Now with BBV halting all trades, you have to hope they open up the rental copies, and not just box these up and send to a liqiudator.

[rajeevankrishna]

Did the TIV for LBP2 go up? I did a PT last week for Brink, and i got $30 * 1.5 = $45 for it..


Hey guys, quick question. I did a PT with LBP2 towards LA Noire today and ended up paying 15 from my Edge card. Wasn't it supposed to be 8~ish (35 * 1.5 = 52.5 -> 60 - 52.5 = 7.5 * 1.13) since I'm using credit?

Am I missing some hidden EB credit rule here or...? :confused:

Lol someone needs to learn math...27 x 2 = 54 man


Lol yeah, i'm the "idoit" here...go to school kid, and maybe pass the third grade and then talk to me.
Before then, I'm not stupid, re-read what the conversation was about and then mouth off if you feel necessary.

Actually, you are the one who got it wrong and didn't read carefully. $35 TIV at EB is more than 2x the $27 TIV at the store you mentioned b/c $52.50 (after 1.5x powertrade bump) tax incl is 52.50x1.13 = $59.33. Not even close.

Feel a bit silly now? You should....

No I don't, because not everyone on rfd is from ontario...therefore it is not 13%

But anyway, I also paid 62.99 for my preorder of LA noire... Weird pricing.

Fair enough - forgot about you Albertans and your tax-free ways :lol:

Really surprised that Brink is getting hammered the way it is. By all counts, the previews leading up to release were very positive - so how does 1UP give it an incredible 25/100 and Joystiq only 40/100 ?? LINK (http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/brink/critic-reviews)

previews are always positive

[Captain Snazzypants]

previews are always positive

Often, but not always. A score like 25 out of 100 is usually reserved for the most incomprehensibly bad POS shovelware titles. This can't be the case here.
Something seems wrong when major sites crap all over a promising sounding title like this. Time to find out for myself as I am off to pick up my PO copy...

I think that it was talked about and previewed so much that people were expecting something that would blow their minds, when in reality it's just a really unique looking game with a different approach to a FPS and online MP. It's probably not as bad as some reviews say, but it definitely didn't live up to the hype.

[laststar]

What's the cheapest way to trade the PS3 Black Ops for the Xbox 360?

So anyone knows?

[Setz]

So anyone knows?

Either trade in at EB for 40$ and get a used 360 copy for 14.99$ with tax, trade it in at Blockbuster and do the same, or wait until you find a PT + GG title, PT BLOPS to that, then GG it on release day for 60$.

[grappos13]

So anyone knows?

i dont know exact titles.. but im sure there has to be 2 x 24.99 used titles at EB games that are also $8+ qualifiers...

so trade in black ops ps3 for $40 credit.. figure out 2 titles at 24.99 that qualify at EB games... purchase those 2 titles using edge discount to make them 22.50 each... then trade 2 for a used black ops 360... in the end, ur trading black ops ps3 + $5 for black ops 360... thats the best i can think of right now.. and no, i dont know which 24.99 games qualify, but u should find some..

This is not true. You can believe it yourself, but dont come here and mislead people.

I traded at BBV this weekend without a problem. I asked the girl if they were still taking in trades and she said "Ya I don't know what they're thinking, but we still are".

It seems the new EB POS likes to add in tax when doing powertrades. Most of the time the CSR's will catch it and can fix it on the spot. If not then you should go back and get it fixed or just do it when you pick up the game.

Do you guys think black ops's tiv will drop next month? I hope not otherwise i'll have to PT it at Eb for dirt 3

I stopped in at FS today after pt'ing BO for LA:N and they had a big table of open box items. For some reason there were many sealed video games that were greatly reduced. Prices were scratched out with a sharpie and a new one written on the tag. I got 2 copies of LBP:GOTY for $10 each. They also had many copies of PS3 GTA Complete Edition for $15. The rest for a few older pc games.

LOL, have you ever read a negative preview? Those are just free advertising in return for pre-release access, and the game rags will never, ever hammer a preview-level game.

[SigBro]

I think it may be a huge YMMV, that's why I didn't make a thread for it.

It is a huge YMMV. My local FS has lots of clearance games as well, but selection varies from store to store. My store had a couple qualifiers, but most weren't worth more than $5 TIV (if that's what you're looking for). ;)

[Dan_Kow]

Everybody run to FS to get cheap qualifiers!!!!

Come on, you can get $10+tax qualifiers all day long, but it still amounts to $30-$34 for a new release T3 game, which you can probably scoop up later on for cheaper. Plus, by waiting for critic and user reviews, you will not get stuck with ultra-crap like Thor or Brink, just because you had the turds and felt you needed to trade them.

I no longer do game trades, and just play what I have and take part in bargain bin game clearances and significant sales, like FNV, AC:B and BL GOTY for $17-$20 a pop.

On the whole, I agree that a lot of the sites and gamer mags tend to just drive the hype instead of report on things responsibly, but there are enough sources that tell it like it is, even at the preview stage. I have been quite interested in Brink since I heard about it last summer and not once did I read something remotely negative about it. The playable PS3 version at PAX was getting a lot of positive 'reviews' so this is all quite a surprise.

Not sure how much a patch is going to do if the AI is as bad as they say, but the graphic issues and netcode are fixable. Still hoping the PS3 version is relatively solid.

Hey, whether you believe it or not, it is the truth.

I did the math on this stuff, and as someone who actually plays games, it was no longer making economic sense. Maybe if I was a homeless bum selling new games for $50 for crack money, it might be more appealing, but there are far easier ways to make money. I just did it for the games, but at $34 a pop for 3 x qualifiers, I started understanding that few games are even worth $34, and I would rather pick up quality titles I missed for less.

Even the 2 qualifiers for any used game deal is better for me, as EB is getting really sticky on their T2+$9.99 deals well before release. In my experience, anything over the horizon is a T3, regardless of retail price.

+1.

I stopped doing trades a while ago as I was finding I had a huge backlog of games that I did trades for and now they can be purchased for about $30 or less. For example, picked up AC:B for $20 at Walmart the other day. I probably would have done a T2+9.99 or something for it and spent probably $30+tax on the games and wouldn't have opened it yet. I have LBP2 and haven't opened it and it'll probably drop to a reasonable level by the time I get around to it. I also had Fallout Vegas that you can pick up for $20 now which I haven't started. Looking at the opportunity cost of the $ I spent getting games to trade in, the driving around, it just isn't worth it anymore, esp for games you don't intend to play in the short-term.

Just my $0.02.

That is pretty well my take as well, and while I will take advantage of the odd trade on must-have titles (like Batman AC and Skyrimm) these are few and far between. Most of the upcoming 2011 releases look like drek, and any of the others (Infamous 2, UC3, etc.) I already have on PO. Definitely cutting back on my trades, as should anyone who does not (like hoarders) immediately sell fhem off for profit.

More people would agree with you if you didn't exaggerate and stereotype.

I agree on the math, totally understand that part, it truly makes no sense to do a $30 T3 on 75% of the titles as they will tank within months to that price.

However, you won't be done trading games, this is a lie. If there was a trade deal for a console that was super hot, you'd be back trading games. Or a collector's editon. And I'm pretty sure the homeless out there would be sick of your stereotyping by now, but since they are not reading it, I'm sure the people in here are sick of being referred to as homeless bums everytime they flip a game for some extra dough. If you cut that stuff out of your posts, people, myself included, would probably agree with most of what you say.

Thanks dchab. I talked to a CSR today and it seems like it fixes itself once you get the game. I saw one guy pick up Brink and got $7 back in credit today, so I guess it'll sort itself out. :3

One thing I noticed though. The guy I saw today who did a PO for Brink PS3 didn't get a Doom pack voucher. Now I'm kinda wondering how Bethesda or stores who offered bonus packs would compensate for that..if ever? <_<

[Captain Snazzypants]

..now I'm kinda worried for my LA Noire PO. If ever they run out of vouchers tho, can you go to another store that has it, say you pre-ordered for it, and ask for one?

Im only interested in LA Noire for this month. I have 1 qualifier (MOH), which means that I will have to go hunt qualifiers some where, but I also have LBP2, which has a tiv of $35. (PT for $52.75). Is it possible that either Black Ops or LBP2 drop next month? I was thinking that I would T2 for used Black Ops and then keep that until next months PT list rolls out. Suggestions?

I wouldn't bank on BLOPS holding $40 TIV next month...with the T2 promotion this month, EB will have a crapload of them..I already saw a lot of copies at my two local EB's. Look at how Fable 3 tanked from $40 to $7 in a matter of weeks..not saying it would be that dramatic of a drop but $25-$30 TIV probably wouldn't be a bad guess. I'd T2 for Black Ops and flip it back for $40 TIV at a different location. Just my two cents. And if you want to trade for LA Noire, just find a cheap qualifier at BBV or FS.

Do a PT now for FEAR 3 and then just change it next month (I believe it has been delayed).

Tivs.ca shows SWFU 2 ps3 is $20 in EB. Is it a mistake?

[Xeerochild]

Tivs.ca shows SWFU 2 ps3 is $20 in EB. Is it a mistake?

It might be $20; there are some other wacky TIVs this month where, given the price of the game (especially the used price), you wouldn't expect that kind of value.

[MrDisco]

Do a PT now for FEAR 3 and then just change it next month (I believe it has been delayed).

so dumb newbie question - how exactly do you do that? so say i flip cod:black ops for fear 3, do i just go in next month and say i want to change it to whatever title will be available for that month's PT?

Pretty much.

"Can I move my FEAR 3 PO? I originally thought that it was coming out <original date here>, but it got delayed to <new date>."

You should be able to change it to another PT without any issues. If you're feeling brave and want to swap it for a regular game, if you get a laidback/lazy CSR, they won't bother going through the history and will just move it for you. I'd avoid trying this on a manager or a "stuck-up" CSR, cause they'll backtrace it to how you did it, and refuse to move it.

Best Buy

Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed - $25

Pretty weak IMHO.

[ecsw]

thanks dudddddeee was actually expecting a lurker to snag it. sent a friend request as ecsw is my 1 and only :P

And that's not enough? :P

[SkankButta]

Have you ever been tested for Fist in the Mouth Disease? I can set up an appointment for you, no problem.

Who do I call to book my appointment? If I am lucky, I might get the disgruntled kiddie who is upset that all the RP games were hoarded.

[bloodspillz]

And that's not enough? :P

no what have you done for me? HAHA i love you<3

[richboy!]

Hey guys
I have 30 copies of black ops.
What is the most profitable way to unload them? I know I can powertrade but can I just cancel all 30 and get the 1800 in credit back? I guess I can just trade for straight credit at best buy but 1800 is nicer than 1200

I bet they are probably both over $8. I would just go straight to EB and ask to do a T2/T3 with them.

Well Im pretty sure i did check there first. Prices are out-dated.
Fastest way to check is to pick up the phone and call a couple of EBs. Most I call are willing to give 1-2 values out over the phone. Let us know what you find out. :)

Greedy FS really did want people to trade in Black Poop, Pillzone 3 and Portal Kombat to get one new game but since no one or almost no one is stupid enough to do that, they are making it a little easier this time with a T2 deal.

I went today. Like others have said, $24.99 for 360 and PS3. $14.99 for Wii.

[LeafsWillWin]

Ecsw told the CSR the tale of Jack Sparrow and she just handed the tivs over without hesitation.

So where can i get this list? tivs.ca? Doesn't look like 500+ games got updated? Or is the site slow for updates in TIV's?

[quakeman101]

Please tell me you didn't trade in Transformers! I'd totally grab that off you.

Nah. I don't trade in games to EB unless i can use it for a t2 or t3. as for you grabbing it off me, i'm located in newmarket and most people live too far from me for me to wanna meet up

[T-CellReceptor]

There's RFD people all over the map. But, it depends on how much you want for it. If you use these games for T2/T3, then you're probably wanting $25 to compensate for the fact you'd use it as a qualifer if you suspect it'll go back up to >$8.

[bleafer]

EB/GS Xbox 360 Powerbrick TIV = $1 lol

[ecsw]

This might be a little random but can BB store credit (not gift cards) be used towards the purchase of other merchandise, i.e. phones???

[flixe40]

can comfirm Alpha protocal (360), Clash of the titans (ps3) and Dragon age origins(360) are $9 tivs
there are still alot of them available at the waterloo bbv if anyone is looking.

Trade at BBV for 75% credit..would get $45 for the next 2 weeks. EB will probably be in the $20 range until some time passes.

just a note that BBV game prices are usually a bit higher and I wouldn't be building any credit there right now since they are going under.

you best return for a game is probably kijii or craigslist or a pt from eb or some sort of FS/BB bump.

Today TIVS

PS3 Grid EB $12
Wii Red Steel 2 EB $9
360 Dynasty Warriors 6 EB $4.50

Had my two turds and went into the EB in Richmond Hill at Bayview and Major Mackenzie. Went in hoping to get a used NFS: Hot Pursuit. Imagine my surprise when I see a used copy of Mortal Kombat for PS3 lying there. So I grabbed it. Pretty good trade-in considering I paid a total of $12 to get Red Steel 2 and Grid

But IMO, no one should buy Xperia Play especially buy it right out. PSP GO has more games than this and it's not difficult to find it for $100~120. Buy out Xperia Play could be $500~600 which is definitly not worth it. How often do u take out portable like PSP GO or DSi to play? It will be outdated within a year. I like the concept, but i cant justify spending $500+ for it.

[awworld]

Yep but can easily turn that BBV credit into EB with a couple qualifiers

that is true but its a hit or miss at the bbv i visited and with the price of gas in BC it can get costly :lol:

so i usually just trade into eb or BB/FS unless BBV has a much greater tivs.

now i just got to get rid of $29 in bbv credit by tomorrow before i head off to vacation for two weeks. i would hate to return and find that the credits are worthless. if i can't find a game i want, i guess i could always pick up a green latern or flash tshirts that the guys from big bang tv show wear :razz:

They let you order phones on their websites though, so I think if you order it online, you can buy the phone without a contract. In-store though is different. They wouldn't let me buy the iPhone or Atrix, but they would let me buy the Nexus

I did a T2+10 for Red Faction Armageddon and I'm starting to wonder if that was a good choice.

I was going to skip LA Noire (didn't look interesting at the time), but after watching some trailers and playing the RFA demo, I think I may switch over my preorder. I can definitely dig up a couple qualifiers if I want both, but if you had to pick one, which would you pick?

Thoughts?

Personally I would go with L.A. Noire - it's unlike any other game out there except maybe Heavy Rain, but I think it'll be much more intuitive and fun. Heavy Rain was a little boring for my liking.

Also, all Rockstar games are awesome so they wouldn't put out anything less than spectacular. And yes I know they were the publisher, but they had a hand in it, so that's all that matters.

Worst comes to worst, you can try L.A.N and if you don't like it you can trade it in towards RFA since it comes out 2 weeks after, toad.

Personally I would go with L.A. Noire - it's unlike any other game out there except maybe Heavy Rain, but I think it'll be much more intuitive and fun. Heavy Rain was a little boring for my liking.

Also, all Rockstar games are awesome so they wouldn't put out anything less than spectacular. And yes I know they were the publisher, but they had a hand in it, so that's all that matters.

Worst comes to worst, you can try L.A.N and if you don't like it you can trade it in towards RFA since it comes out 2 weeks after, toad.

Heavy Rain was one of the few games my fiance and I played together...hopefully, LA Noire is like that too. :lol:

I have successfully traded in two of the same game but different system many times as part of a T3 deal but some stores/staff may give you grief over it so go to another store if you have trouble.

TIVS.ca still has the value of Blur at $9, last updated May 9, 2011. That's probably where the idea was coming from. If it dropped today, he just got unlucky.

I actually was using turd in it's literal sense (had a coffee when I posted) just to show much this word has been abused.

But, to avoid looking like an ass I called and found the value of 2 past turd d'jours. Blur did indeed tank, but fellow racer split second is still above 8.

May 12th: Revenge of the Turds....

PS3 Chronicles of Riddick EB $7.50 (FAAAAAAAK!)
PS3 Monopoly Here and Now EB $13
PS3 Medal of Honor: Airborne EB $12
PS3 Alpha Protocol EB $10PS3 Little Big Planet EB $10
PS3 GTA Episodes from Liberty City EB $13
PS3 Little Big Planet GOTY EB $10
PS3 Chronicles of Riddick EB $7.50 (Again... FAAAAAAAAK!)

Alpha Protocol is down $1 from yesterday and Riddick dropped off the qualifier list today... As mentioned earlier, I bought the two copies of Riddick on Tuesday for $16 (after the tax savings on the credit, I'm still nearly up $1 on them). Had to pay $35 + tax to fat 40GB PS3 upgrade to a 320GB PS3 Move Bundle. Paid $17 with tax for Alpha Protocol at BBV, spent $16 on Riddick, swapped GTA IV for LBP GOTY, paid $3 to purchase a used video cable, and $39 with tax for the drop on Riddick.

When I went in last week to ask about Monopoly Here and Now, I was told it was $9.75... now it's $13 (WTF?) And Medal of Honor: Airborne... BWHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH!

Oh, well, $75 all-in and I got to upgrade from my old fat 40GB to a new slim 320GB with Move... still not a bad deal if you ask me. Would've been better if I could travel back in time and do this yesterday... but oh well. :)

Make sure you start off by mentioning you have "just two games" you were thinking of trading in - they will be more willing to help you if they know this isn't going to take forever, especially if they are busy. You should also call different stores at slow times of day. Never fails.

Store One - Traded in CoD for L.A. Noire paid in full. Few hours later got a buddy to go in and trade 2 turds to get my copy back.

Store Two - Traded in CoD for Break paid in full. Thought the TIV would be okay on that one but it's at $22.50 even though it just came out. Same buddy traded in 2 turds for CoD AGAIN

Store Three - Traded in CoD for Lego Pirates. Ended up with $10 on Edge Card which I gave to my buddy for all the hard work :lol:

Actually, I got "burned" because my PS3 wasn't done formatting itself in time (before I had to leave for my job). I'd have been better off to have not worried about my 8th title and just done it yesterday... you snooze, you lose. But I'm not crying.

What's the big deal about this girl? Sounds like she's an even-more-girlie version of Bieber, going off wiki.

No idea, but that computer-generated squeak-voice ain't doing nothing for me. :facepalm:

I wonder what's going on with Singularity at ebgames? I heard that Singularity for 360 dropped in price on here and now i see tivs.ca lists it as being $6 for the 12th.
However, I traded in a copy of Singularity at an ebgames and it was worth 8.50. I had them scan a number of other games too:

12/5 ebgames:
Darksiders 360 $5
Up ps3 $9
Split/second 360 $10
Burnout revenge 360 $11
singularity 360 $8.50

[tao2001]

That's not sad. She made millions play off of the current shark tank mentality of the internet. We as a culture have become so obsessed with trashing anything that we see, that it's become incredibly easy for people to find fame and fortune by making themselves easy targets.

It's our fault, not theirs. If we simply ignored people like this, it wouldn't happen, but we are so caught up in turning everything into a meme, that we just give these people the notoriety they don't deserve.

Jersey Shore, The Kardashians, Justin Bieber. We spend our time talking about how much better then them we all are, but by paying attention to them, we're giving them power.

The girl made money by turning the internet into a bunch of suckers. Good for her. I'd sing idiotic songs too if it made me a million dollars.

Hmm, that's interesting. We're still trying to make sense of everything and getting it all updated. Just got caught a little off guard by EBs sudden tanking of games while TIVs was in midst of updating pretty much all of Futureshop PS3 games.

I wonder what Singularity is at today, that's probably a better indicator. The TIVs were really weird yesterday (people reporting different values from different regions of Canada). Hopefully, this will all square itself away.

wtf I tried to take in Star Wars Force Unleased 2 last night to trade with my ps3 and they said it was a $7.00 TIV when scanned in...I just checked tivs.ca and it says may 12th (yesterday) it had a TIV of $20... did I some how get screwed???I had to end up giving them my batman instead of star wars which I really wanted to get rid of. Still wanted to play batman...

TIVs changed over night.

Apparently Batman AA is $7 now, though, it looks like you traded yours in today... Like I said, the TIVs are funky at the moment. Seems like EB is making a lot of changes, and for some reason, it isn't a uniform change as TIVs fluctuate from region to region.

[blainehamilton]

TIVs for EB/GS are all over the place today.

Got stuck with Resident Evil Archives Resident Evil for Wii and Chronicles of Riddick for PS3. Meh, just added one copy to the collection and the second copy will go to best buy the next time they run the $5 bonus promo.

On a good note, I was able to dump 10+ copies of NCAA Football 10 for ps3, Guitar Hero 5 for PS3/360/Wii and Guitar Hero 6 360 at Best Buy and Future Shop for a whole stash of Brink and Predator Blu Ray. Plus the Predator Disc comes with free movie cash for X Men First Class!

Almost done the BBV credit, I'm under $100 now...

On a side note, BBV is just stupid. I was in a store yesterday, they had a bin of assorted candy marked 50% off ticketed price. There were a few bags of easter m+ms, marked at $3 a bag. Larger bags, like 350 to 400g. $1.50 is a good deal for these.

I get to the checkout, and get told those are already the 50% marked price. Regular price is $6.00 a bag!!!!!!!!

No wonder they are bankrupt!

[Geoshadow]

May the Friday the 13th Be Scary for You as Jason Voorhees slashes down the trade in values:

PS3 Littlebigplanet EB $7 or less now
PS3 Blazblue Calamity Trigger EB $7 or less now
360 Batman Arkham Asylum EB $7 or less now
PS3 Mafia II EB $10
PS3 God of War Collection EB $14

i traded mine in YESTERDAY. at night though 8 pm Mountain time.... notice tivs.ca it says May 12th last updated..... that's when i did my trade as well....

Also Batman should still be $8 for the ps3 as it is a most wanted no?

I wouldn't count on it. They've just killed off the monthly movie pass, which I'm sure brought lots of customers through their doors. With that gone traffic will likely plummet, and along with it any chance for their continued survival. REALLY DUMB MOVE BBV.

His father was bad enough, but this guy's only on because of who his daddy was. Same with those Cardassians, Hiltons, etc. I couldn't give a toss about any of them. Let somebody with real talent of their own, rather than connected parents, have a fair opportunity instead.

Batman AA on both consoles were working as of yesterday, I checked and updated TIVs.ca myself.

Both are down to $7 today. Don't pay too much attention to EBs "Most Wanted" list; it doesn't always gaurantee >=$8. Like I said, in the past two days, a lot of games have crashed below the $8 mark. The Stimulus is probably over.

Fack, had I known the X-men ticket was in the Predator blu ray I woulda tried harder at getting that deal. I was denied b/c lazy-ass Godwin didn't update the site and the CSR's were denying it saying it had to be on their list. Maybe Godwin did get canned, either way FS continues to NOT learn from past mistakes in this regard. Bunch of retreads.

They already lost tons of business b/c people are not wanting to invest in a place where uncertainty rules, never knowing what the next day will bring. I wouldn't doubt if they lost upward of 50% of their sales because of this.

FYI Blaine, they make all their money on candy and pop and stuff, so that is why the prices are ridiculous. They also make tons of cash on used stuff, but with no trades and no new inventory due to being in bankruptcy, this will start to dwindle. BBV USA facked Canada up real good just to save their own assess. They will not survive much longer.

anyways we're forgetting the point. I wanted to trade star wars force unleashed 2. tivs.ca said it was $20 as of yesterday. I went and traded it yesterday and they said it was only worth $7 not $20.... What is going on??? Did i get screwed or not? is it possible they would drop it $13 in one day?

I'm not forgetting the point, you're just choosing not to read it. Like I said, in two posts now, the TIVs are crazy and keep fluctuating in the past two days. There's no certainty right now and it seems like EB is just dropping/changing values on a whim.

If it was $20 as of yesterday and it dropped to $7, either the person who reported $20 is on a "lagged" update (since TIVs don't seem to update systematically, but by region now), or the value had dropped during the day by the time you got there.

EDIT: For instance, Darksiders rang in at $5 in the GTA yesterday, but Quebec was still reporting it to be $12.

Np, sorry though. It's been a hectic two days trying to track everything, get everything updated, and figure out what's going on. These drops came out of no where, and because of the different values being reported, it got incredibly confusing to filter.


That explains the confusion with some of the values yesterday. Now what am I gonna do with two extra copies of Darksiders and Alpha Protocol? :lol:

Yea, very, very weird. There are a couple of other games I checked on and I was getting different values compared to places like Quebec, and even comparing a value given by the GTA and Toronto. Weird, weird two days.

Agreed.

Realistically the T2 for any used game is/was one of the best deals they've had in ages and the window of opportunity was open for a lot longer than I thought it would. If you didn't capitalize on it then it's your own fault for thinking it would last. You snooze, you lose.

It's the principle of paying for the book. I paid $20 for the book. Book is good for 1 year. Can't use some of the coupons in the book because that product is no longer offered within that year.

Anyone who chose a poor career path working at BBV for a living should have seen this coming long before the chain's demise was in the news!

Does EB take trade ins with dvd cases? I'm going to buy split second 360 from BBV that has a dvd case. I want to know just in case I can't get it changed for a green case.

Go to another BBV and exchange the case. If that store doesnt have one, surely another will.

[SkankButta]

I would think that after the extremely high number of craptacular games (alpha protocol, darksiders, etc...) recently traded in, the drop in TIV should have been expected by everyone. This happens every time a game rises out of the ashes... If you don't trade it in quick, you'll miss your opportunity. It happened to me multiple times...

On a side note, I wish BB wasn't using lists and was going by $8 tiv games.

Id like to know if I will lose my trophies or not if I switch PS3.

If you look at trophies while you are connected to internet and logged in your PSN account, PS3 will automatically sync the trophies. At least, that's what happens with me. It would just sync the trophies quickly and show them to me after.

That favorites pass is history. Was part of the shut down on Friday. Unless a miracle happens, it will never be reinstated. But hang onto it :razz:

Yea, that's my opinion too. I didn't care for it much anyway, all of it is old stuff I have already seen. But I do feel bad for those who are not cinephiles like myself and used the Fave pass to watch gems from yesteryear. For $10, you could watch all of the greatest films of the last decade in a month, that's pretty good. I think the one is for July anyway - it has a better chance than if it were in June, provided BBV is bought up by some company still interested in renting films, which I highly disbelieve. But, if by some miracle it does happen, I would assume it'll take at least a month or so to get sorted out, meaning people could squeak in that pass on July 31.

I'm more worried about them not honouring the June/July coupons for free game rentals and free new releases. Those ones are tangibly worth more than the $4 off blu rays or whatever else is going on right now. But, June still seems like an eternity considering how quickly things have accelerated in the last 2 weeks. I won't pout like Big Baby Hamilton though, since I was able to buy the holiday pack in the first place due to some of BBV's generous and all too insane tivs' at the time. :lol:

I don't understand the childish behavior and namecalling of some of the members here. You risk getting one of the most important threads on RFD hot deals locked.


I also don't get why people are willing to let BBV get off scott free for selling the coupon books and then not honoring half of them.

If you bought gift cards for somewhere, and they were not honored, you'd be asking for money back.

Same with group deal coupons. People are calling for refunds the moment there is trouble with a company not accepting them.

Yes, yes, yes. 115 additional trophies in 24 days of down time. Now I m happy. :)

[Beradon]

I also don't get why people are willing to let BBV get off scott free for selling the coupon books and then not honoring half of them.

If you bought gift cards for somewhere, and they were not honored, you'd be asking for money back.

Same with group deal coupons. People are calling for refunds the moment there is trouble with a company not accepting them.


Why the free pass for Blockbuster?I agree. Here in Quebec we have VERY strong consumer protection laws. Unless BBV wants to have a wrench thrown against its "restructuring" plan they better honor every coupon in that Entertainment Pack while they're still open for business.

[jacksorbetta]

Yay about PSN. Bout damn time.





What is with the chip on your shoulder? I don't get it.



I'll take that apology now.



I don't understand the childish behavior and namecalling of some of the members here. You risk getting one of the most important threads on RFD hot deals locked.

Why the free pass for Blockbuster?

How much of that coupon book have you redeemed? Did you use the free Game pass coupon in Dec? That was worth $29.99. You paid $21.99 for the booklet. Add in all the free rentals, free popcorns, free Favorites pass, and probably various retail coupons... I think you got your money's worth;)

You could go into a store and demand a refund, but you'll have to pay for everything you used. Might be smarter to just accept it and move on.

[jacksorbetta]

If they're not honouring Game Passes, including those that came with the purchase of a console, then they'll have to refund the purchase price. That will be $29.99 + tax back then, thank you very much.

I'm not quite understanding your comment. You think you should be refunded for a free coupon? I don't disagree that there should be some sort of compensation for people, but it's highly doubtful you will get a $30 credit. The only exception would be if you had purchased your system within the last 30 days (as per the refund policy), and had not yet activated your game pass. But as a favour to fellow RFD'ers, I'm going to bring this up to higher levels and see what kind of answer I get about it. Stay tuned:)

[marbles]

The discussion maybe belongs in another thread, but I don't know how much of an obligation there is to customers in the Blockbuster situation.

My understanding is that with the company in receivership, it's not really "Blockbuster" any more. It's Grant Thornton Ltd. doing business as Blockbuster, and they could just as easily say they're liquidating the whole operation as they could say "it's more or less business as usual." I think people are fortunate that they're keeping the stores going right now, and that credit is still being honoured ("no gift cards" is one of the things I always remember seeing at real liquidation sales).

If I were holding on to a large sum of Blockbuster credit, I'd be evacuating it right now... I doubt Joe Consumer is very close to the top of their list of creditors.

[balonis]

LOL. I know I could never compete with you on a trade quantity basis. You are a legend when it comes to mass copies. 40 Black Ops is nuts! Fearless deserves some props too. His mad Jedi skills allow him to pricematch the craziest deals.


Brink from Future Shop was a no brainer since it listed 3 titles minimum trade of $8 in the flyer. The website had a list, but if you pointed out the flyer said nothing about a list, they would ring it thru. Only got shot down at one location once.

So you take 3x titles from the Blockbuster 2/$12.98 sale - Guitar Hero 6 360, Guitar Hero 5 Wii/360/PS3, NCAA Football PS3 and trade for Brink, get a free Predator Blu Ray, and free movie cash for X Men First Class worth $12.

There is no way I would trade 3 list title for Brink...

^ exactly

This isn't "restructuring" like how it dragged on for so long in the USA with the existing ownership trying to refinance and hang on to something. There ownership voluntarily filed for protection from the creditors to give them time to figure out how to survive

We are already past that here. Its been foreclosed on by the creditors, there is no ownership left. The receiver has been appointed to figure out how to get the most money possible for the creditors

really? nice... i did one FS brink trade for collection and got the blu-ray so pretty good to get that as well...didnt know about the free movie cash...

but ya, it was a solid deal considering u could spend only around $22 BBV for it or $23 EB credit for it.....just sucks that BBV doesnt take trade ins to get rid of the brinks and blu-ray, else i probably woulda at least got a couple extras

But as a favour to fellow RFD'ers, I'm going to bring this up to higher levels and see what kind of answer I get about it. Stay tuned:)

Please do. I bought my PS3 from BBV thanks to their advertised offer of a game pass. I could have bought from BB/FS for the same price and received a game or two bundled, (possibly even a controller too one weekend, as posted on RFD), but tried to help BBV Canada out. As I was/am busy I haven't activated it yet, and was told at the time that I could activate it in the future when I wanted. If they don't want to run rental passes any more, offer equivalent credit to buy some preplayed games or movies in-store. That way the offer is, in a way, honoured, and BBV will have unloaded more product. That should keep everybody happy. :)

(BBV can't continue as a viable business, even under new owners, if it has angered its existing customers into going elsewhere. Angry customers rarely come back).

(BTW, the game pass offer was still being advertised in-store when I visited just this past Thurday - as a "$29.99 value". Hardly "free").

I saw a vague email about this very issue today. We've been instructed to "use our best possible customer service skills to keep our customers happy". That's open to a lot of interpretation:lol:. My suggestion is to be very (and I mean VERY) nice to the store Asst Manager or Store Manager this week and ask for an equivalent credit. I would do it. But the bassakwards way retail employees think is that if you're rude or condescending, they won't give you much ;), so be polite and friendly, and most likely you'll get a credit to spend on whatever you want. I'm not losing what few customers we have over this pass issue.

I'm still going to ask about it tomorrow though on our conference call. Get the official scoop on what we can and cannot offer.

Thanks.

I am friendly and courteous with anybody that isn't being an ass with me, so that shouldn't be too much trouble. I get along well with the local staff. In fact that's one of the things I'll miss about BBV if they do go under - the staff are ALWAYS friendly, unlike some of the larger stores. This week is the first time that I've noticed my entrance to the store didn't receive a greeting, but that was only once, the other 2 visits got an "Hello". I really do hope that BBV survive in some form or another.

[Xeerochild]

BB/FS sells the PX21s, but they call them P21s for some reason. When you order the P21s from BB/FS, they'll ship you the PX21s. I don't think anyone carries the P21s anymore since the PX21s succeeded them.

Btw, PX21s have crappy, crappy build quality.

This is old news. BBV US announced in April sometime they'd stop honouring gift cards in the near future, as a preemptive measure for their inevitable takeover. Canada will do the same if they get taken over, otherwise, if they get liquidated, I'm sure they accept them up until the final store closing period.

Saw a dumbass at EB today... did a T3 for L.A. Noire using Blops, DA2, and LBP2. CSR did a T3 instead of power trading but his credit was over $100. Even his friends were chirping him about being ripped off :lol:

You shoulda stepped in. Oh wait, it was a preorder, not someone else's shopping cart :lol:

Ah well, the EB circle of life. Wouldn't be complete without some innocent prey. Can't just be game trading predators :razz:

Good to see Sony trying to appease people with PSN outage. Free games and a free month of plus sounds good for the general public.

Sony said they'll protect people up to a million $ in case of identity theft for a year. So that should comfort people if they haven't already cancelled their cc after it was announced that psn account info was compromised.

Trust is the main issue that Sony faces when dealing with its customers from here on out. They've already made steps to help with that through the free games and ps+ for a month. I just hope that they've secured their system enough to prevent this from happening again.

[ahsalloum]

Hey guys,

Just a question. Just did a power trade for LA Noire. After 50% the games I traded were worth $60. They still charged me taxes, $7.19. I thought that the trade-in value discounted the pre-tax total, so I should have paid nothing as far as I knew. Is it different for power trades?

They've yet to make an announcement on identity theft protection for Canadians (or, AFAIK, for any territories outside the U.S.). But I'm sure it's coming.

I power traded blops for 2 copies of LA Noire from 2 different stores and each did a manual override on the taxes. Both totals were $60 exactly. I guess it depends on the store. :confused:

That b*tch at the store just wanted me out of the store ASAP since they were closing. I told her I don't think I was supposed to be paying for the taxes. I am definitely going to get them to refund me those $7. If they give me trouble, I'll be calling Gamestop.

You'll be able to get the money back no problem. That issue only comes up when you power trade a pre-order and want to pay the rest. For some reason the system doesn't take the pre-order very well and still charges tax on the full amount when any trade in value makes the tax only apply to the remaining balance. So when people traded in CoD: Black Ops for a power trade deal when it was worth $40 regularly it was worth $60 and you could basically trade that one game in for a brand new one offered during the power trades. I ran into that same problem when I traded Dragon Age II and put it towards L.A. Noire. I just have to wait until it's out and pick it up, then it'll be ~$8 left over instead of ~$14.

Ask them to if they don't want to take it, why do they have values for it. :lol:

It's their new system that buggers up the PT calculations sometimes. Same thing happened to me, and when I went to pick it up the balance was $0. Don't worry about it...



360 Halo Reach EB $27.50

Holy Moly, time to head over to BBV again...
If that TIV quote is accurate, it has to be pre-PT since nothing would add up to $27.50 after being multiplied by 1.5 - it's a PowerTrade Prime number :lol:

[1greatdeal]

I doubt it went up that high from $17 TiV.

But you're right, it doesn't seem to add up unless the CSR multiplied wrong. Somewhere between $18.25 - $18.50 before the PT?

[selwynroars]

Went to grab me PO'ed copy of LA Noire at EBG today and they told me this coming weekend, they will honour T3 qualifiers toward any upcoming releases. Isn't this common?

The pass is like Mass Effect 2's pass, where it just grants you extra content. It is not an online pass, since, like you said, there's no online gameplay.

So people look to buy used games over new ones. Game companies obviously make nothing off of used sales, so crappy bonus codes give extra initiative for sucker... er I mean consumers to purchase new copies.

95% of codes just seem so irrelevant to me. Not sure if others agree, but essentially the only codes I even use are GOTY, or sometimes extra mission codes (Heavy Rain's was sweet). I could care less about some extra gun, or a different avatar, or a stupid hat. Sounds like more of a thing for girls, or doll collectors (OMG! it comes with a new hat!).

my friend did a po with t2+9.99 for 2 games 2 months ago, and they wouldnt let him switch to 2 different t2s for this month. their excuse was "well, those games might not be over 8 tiv anymore, so u cant switch them..." then i asked if any of the games are over 8 tiv then i can switch them and they said fine. so b4 i went in to that EB, i had called another one and asked about the tivs of those 4 games used for the 2 t2s, and 2 of them were over 8 tiv. so back instore i ask the manager to check the tivs of thoes 4 games, and the ones i was told were over 8 tiv, she tells me that they are 3 tiv each. BS!

so on top of BS'n me about their trade policies, the manager blatantly lies to me above the tivs of the games. btw this was at woodside EB, so u guys know its the fat ***** manager im talking about.

my friend did a po with t2+9.99 for 2 games 2 months ago, and they wouldnt let him switch to 2 different t2s for this month. their excuse was "well, those games might not be over 8 tiv anymore, so u cant switch them..." then i asked if any of the games are over 8 tiv then i can switch them and they said fine. so b4 i went in to that EB, i had called another one and asked about the tivs of those 4 games used for the 2 t2s, and 2 of them were over 8 tiv. so back instore i ask the manager to check the tivs of thoes 4 games, and the ones i was told were over 8 tiv, she tells me that they are 3 tiv each. BS!

so on top of BS'n me about their trade policies, the manager blatantly lies to me above the tivs of the games. btw this was at woodside EB, so u guys know its the fat ***** manager im talking about.

LOLOL the funny thing is that she brain wash everyone working there so every csr there is super, she also works at markville mall now so that store will slowly become the next woodside
when i see her i usually just dont go in becuz there is no point arguing with her

u know whats funny though? at first she was goin to switch them, but then her assistant (to the) manager steps in and informs her not to do it, but she still said fine but he argued with her and then she's like no u cant switch...

Now now yoda, play nicely with the others. Even with 45pt from bulletstorm.. he'd get 10.50pt for madden 11 (tiv 7 as of 5/11/11).. which leaves 4.50+ tax for him to pay.

Anyone else have a feeling BF3 is going to get delayed because of MW3? There coming out probably 1-2 weeks apart from each other. I think EA is going to delay it until early 2012, just because they don't want to face the fanbase/competition of COD.

[belowzeros]

the fall is already ridiculously overcrowded this year. It's probably one of the busiest of the last 3-5 years so there are going to be changes and casualties no doubt. it's definitely worse than last year.

i think EA is releasing it close to MW3 on purpose, I really hope battlefield 3 prevails. Activision really **** on the call of duty franchise, its no better than the madden series, every year same engine with minor tweaks and some new guns/perks.

I think EA is going to delay it until early 2012, just because they don't want to face the fanbase/competition of COD.CoD always comes out in November and MW3 was the next logical sequel to release, so EA had to have know it would be competing with them if it comes out in late 2011. If it does get delayed I doubt it would be due to MW3.

COD can suck it. I'm all about B3 and will be buying it. Anything I can do to help slow the sales of the COD series.

Probably but I always beleive that the MW list can't be changes unless i'm wrong...

And by the way, LA noire is ok, but no real challange in it. Trophies are easy, really easy. 18% of the game in less than 4 hours so do the math, platinum this game arround 20 hours i'm sure.

[Luskan]

They have changed it before. I believe the last time was last year when Halo ODST was the main $35 Most Wanted title that went to $7 mid-month due to a FS/BB $20 sale.

Only thing is none of these games are really on sale. They are just tanking the games so they can squeeze that extra little dollar out of your game trades when you pick up LA Noire

I'd PT your least favourite game, and pay the difference. Unless you had some games with less Trade In Value.

There was only 1 NEW copy of la noire on kijiji at Montreal for sale, the guy asked 50$ for it but it was xbox360, at 50$ they sell fast, most are 45, 50$ USED.

Mine was PS3

This guy saved 18$ by buying from me(68$ tax in at EB) + i had the 2 DLC card included in this, EB exclusives. + he was near me at 5 minutes away so he made a good deal.

Anyway LA noire was good, but not good enough, i prefer GTA4 by far.

I'm no expert, but shouldn't you have held onto LBP, it being a qualifier? :?:

Id dump it asap because its one of the free games Sony is giving away. The market will be flooded with them i suspect. Get rid of them now while you can still get decent money for the,.

On a side note i really want GOW3 to qualify at EB again... just finished it last night and looking to dump it.

[Kilgore Trout]

I realize that there have been several similar messages recently, but a very informed little bird has mentioned to me that approximately 50% of Canadian BBVs will be closing almost immediately. If you happen to be in Vic, BC, there's at least one place that may serve you Vanilla.

Please don't tell me this little bird was the middle finger you'll be giving to BBV :lol:

Everyone knows this is the inevitable outcome. Just a matter of who buys BBV. It won't be like the RP sales thats for sure.

Apparantly Videotron from Quebec might be buying out Blockbustah, according to a manager

[Tornado F2]

Yep lol. never know when a t3 bb comes around :P.

My own problem is, on the rare occasion that I try one of these trade deals, I always seem to come up one qualifier short. But at least I now know I have at least one - for now! :lol: I can probably dig up another two right now, actually. What good offers are still out there for T2 or T3? :?:

[Tornado F2]

Id dump it asap because its one of the free games Sony is giving away. The market will be flooded with them i suspect. Get rid of them now while you can still get decent money for the,.


Don't most PS3 owners already own it anyway? I know it was one of my own first PS3 purchases. So most people would probably take other titles instead.

[BogartandMinerva]

I got rid of LBP because it won't be a qualifier much longer due to the fact that Sony is giving it for free in a week or two. A qualifier at Best Buy isn't really a big deal anyway, if it was still a qualifier at EB I would have held onto it. I like how some of the comments tried to make me feel/look like a newb. I knew what I was doing and got decent value for those games. BTW 1greatdeal this is a TIVs thread not a "I sold ____ for ____ on kijiji" thread. Also LA Noire is a pretty sweet game with an interesting concept, so was GTA but I think it's clear which one requires you to think and which one requires you to run and gun mindlessly.

Or people will trade in teh game looking to recoup some of it and still get to keep the game from sony for free... if i played that game i know what i would do there. Dump it asap.

Nope. Once the lien gets paid off (??? if they can pay it off), then the company goes up for sale. Until then, no one waiting to buy.

Wouldn't the company be sold so that the creditors can get money?

The movie companies (and others) are owed a lot of money from BBV USA. BBV USA says to the movie companies, OK if I don't pay you back, you can have BBV Canada. BBV USA couldn't pay anything back.

The movie companies don't want BBV Canada -- they want their money. So, wouldn't the easiest solution be to sell BBV Canada to the highest bidder and use that money to pay off the creditors?

[blainehamilton]

BBV movie/game stock is going to get liquidated at pennies on the dollar in clearance sales. Then the infrastructure will get wholesaled off.

Then there will nothing left, and the remaining creditors go unpaid. That's why they are in recievership, there aren't enough assets to cover their liabilities at this point, and there is no chance they will make enough revenue in the forseeable future to cover those liabilities.


Gonna use up my last $40 or so in GC balance on some 2 for $12.98 games and dump them at Best Buy for the 5 for $20 trade bonus...

Picked up Alpha Protocol and Split/Second for a combined $30 at Blockbuster, then flipped them for Black Ops at EB. When I called the store ahead of time the guy told me neither game qualified (but he didn't check computer). I called another EB, and the guy DID check and confirmed they were both over $8 TIV. Love dealing with d-bags.

Went to another EB and traded Black Ops for LA Noire. Didn't even have to pay a cent. Wish I had my Staples 'Easy' button on me. Hopefully there's a similar promotion in June as I desperately want Infamous 2.

The cherry on top was that the CSR at EB Games (Oakville Town Centres) was a legit babe. Not just a 'decent girl but upped because shes at a gaming store'... but a legit babe.

It's times like these I kinda wish I was single lol

360 or PS3 copy??

PS3. The 360 version doesn't qualify... and there's tons of them at BBV from what Ive seen. The PS3 version is rare... I got the last one in town (at $15).

Split/Second was for 360. Bought it only as a qualifier but did play it for 2 days. Was bored of it after my first play through though.

( i assume EB want to get the most of it maybe they had a goal collect like 10 000 of AP for boxing day 2011 deal for 9.99$ haha) will see

got LA noire x 2 and after i return 1 right aways to PO Resident Evil PS3 sweet sweet love Lachanaie store :cheesygri;)

Do you mean Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City?

[trackercowe]

I guess thats ok but really pointless to through a 30 pt title away like that lol.

Yoda you are way to critical on trades.:razz:

You can get either $24 in BB credit, or $30 towards some ass AA power trade title that will be $20 in a few months anyway. Honestly aside from LA Noire and possibly Dirt 3, all those games will be $40 or less in a couple months. Yes there are ways to "move" that credit around, but there are also ways to get banned.

$24 in BB Credit>$30 in power trade

For what it's worth I have also heard a little bird regarding BBV. Word has it approx. 150 Canadian locations with be closed/amalgamated by June 18th. Might be time to get out while you can guys or then again for the daring... there could be some clearance deals on the horizon.

[blainehamilton]

Some random Best Buy values:


PS3 NBA 08 BB $1.00
DS Jagged Alliance BB $5.00
PS3 NCAA Basketball 10 BB $1.00 (from $8 qualifier last week - did that sucker drop)
360 Konami Classics 2 BB $1.00
Wii Little League World Series Baseball 2009 BB $7.00

Got a $20 bonus for a $35 trade in total.

Also EB/GS:

PS3 Black Ops EB $40.00 Of Course.

Why do people keep posting this same thing and they got it from a bird specifically? Which one, Big Bird? Maybe a sparrow, Jack Sparrow?

People cleared out their credit mostly weeks ago. And if there is a clear out, why is everyone assuming there will be good deals? From the BBV's I've seen close they send all their good product to other stores that are remaining open and sell off all the junk, useless DVDs and stale-ass candy.

Only a true, full liquidation would do that and so far, BBV plans on axing employees and store leases to pay off their millions of debt, so they would probably want to keep all their quality stuff.

I think people will be more shocked to find out that other video chain will be having better deals very soon . . . ;)

[BogartandMinerva]

I posted "little bird" as an earlier poster had used that word. I could have used "on good authority" or "a source tells me". I'm just trying to be vague as the information hasn't been made public yet, unless there is some news article you can point me towards. Also they are closing 150+ stores, it's fair to say we don't know what their approach will be with remaining stock/possible liquidations, as we haven't seen this high of a volume of closings from BBV before. I'm not looking to stir the pot or roust up any unrest, I'm just passing along some information so that folks can keep their eyes peeled is all.........

Do you work at BBV? Just sometimes people post information vaguely as if they know more like that one guy from Rogers video because they actually worked for the company. I can understand if you are under policy to not say more, that'd clear up a bit more. Otherwise, I think people are reporting the little media info in different ways. I mean, some people freaked out in September and cleared their credit out, while I said if there are closures and it'll take way longer for that to happen. Even now, there's been news like every day and yet I still haven't seen a mass exodus.

Trade 5 games and get +$20 store credit! It's a good idea to bring one or two backup games in case some games don't qualify.

He was wise to "finger crosses", Catholic-style presumably, rather than just crossing his fingers, given the speculation. But the Bible says Jesus won't arrive with a lot of fanfare, so I'm pretty sure today will pass just like every other day. Though this HAS been a year of remarkable, literally earth-shaking, events so far.

Maybe the Aztec calendar ends in 2012 (if that's actually the case) because THIS is the final year? Or maybe 2012 will be the year that the "extinct" volcano in which Mexico City, and its 25 million inhabitants, erupts? That would make sense, as that's where the Aztecs were located. So 2012 would have marked their end that way.

Went to EB today and they had a preorder binder waiting on the counter. I traded in 4 games (tivs later if I can find my receipt) and preordered Arkham City and Dead Island, no problem.

I also had a preorder down on Red Faction Armageddon and the CSR let me switch it over to COD:MW3 with absolutely no hassle.

Fun fact: if you browse the preorder binder, in the Xbox 360 section, there's a preorder listing for Final Fantasy XIII 2. Release date is listed as December 31, 2011.

Does that mean I could do a trade 3 PO for Uncharted 3?

[sunchaser53]

I guess TIV of the EB's most wanted list can change then.

Dragon Age II is reporting at $28.50 as of May 18th while on their website for $35..... Oh well..

Yes I've done T3's for Uncharted 3, Arkham City and Resistance 3 already.

Most likely you are trying to trade a copy you got from EB with the preorder bonus? SKU's dont match up to BB's regular edition.. probably won't be accepted regardless unless you can somehow convince the CSR

[Kyle071785]

HAHA nice location... :P Did you do t2 for blops?

to Aurora! :D

ya did the T2 then just gave it right back to them and power traded for LA Noire

They should just be able to type it into their system and see if it comes up. I've had a few titles at BB that have failed to come up when scanned but they let it through as they found the item when they manually typed the name in regardless if its a "retailer exclusive"

wow, your bb is nice, my bb is a b and a then another b. If it doesnt scan they dont take it, I even tried to explain to them that I got the exclusive "bb" version but they didnt listen.

So far I know that bb with pre-order, eb with pre-order and fs l.a. noire (without anything) have different skus.

the one in their system is most likely the fs l.a noire without any bonus

I am new to EB. In a recent transaction of trading in a used game of $7 TIV, I effectively got $7 + Tax when I bought another $10 value game. I paid $3+(Tax on $3).

Compare this to BB/FS: for trading in a $7 TIV game and purchasing a $10 value game, one would pay $10+(tax on $10) - $7 = $3 + (Tax on $10).

May be this is already a well known EB thing but I found it pretty cool. (I guess this may be one of the reason why they have lesser TIVs.)

I have Bulletstorm, I know its on the EB May MW List this month, I don't want to use it for PT though because I don't want LA Noire or Brink. I was thinking of trading it for 30, its value.

$15 x 2 = $30 + tax = $33.90

trade BLOPS to BB for a total profit of $40 - 33.90 = $6.10

Assuming that you will be driving between these stores, is it really worth the time and gas money to make $6.10? IMO it isn't.

Yea, I was hoping I could find a few higher priced games at BBV ($40) that would just give me $40 credit at FS / BB, without doing an extra step like trading in at another store. Anyone know if BBV sells Blops for $40, or any other $40 game that will just give me = credit. Not worried about making a profit.

Used BLOPS is $49 at BBV

May 21st at EB:

Guitar Hero 5 (360) - $8.50
Alpha Protocol (360) - $2
Alpha Protocol (PS3) - $9
The Bigs 2 (PS3) - $3.50

Did a blops shuffle for LA Noire thanks for all the recent updates.

i quote AP PS3 already but some clown here did not believe me bunch of (bip) lol :razz:

[FearLess]

This was yesterday? Thought someone else posted alpha ps3 was over $10 ..... Or did u trade these today?

yeah i post AP was 10$ but TIV never being update since they did not believe it!! they lost my gain lol i did trade few of them

[Captain Snazzypants]

Used BLOPS is $49 at BBV

$39.99 at Rogers. A lot easier than hunting BBV for $14.99 qualifiers, and $5 cheaper if it's a PT-play you have in mind... ;)

They will accept it but it might be YMMV if you are planning to use it for their promos.

They will definitely accept it for the full TIV. However if you are planning on using it towards some promotion (example: T2/T3 or $25 bump towards consoles) then that depends on the CSR / store. Technically they are not supposed to bump up the value towards any promotion without case + manual.

[Super strokey]

I just beat KZ3 tonight and it was terrible, what game you guys think on the PT list will retain the value the longest for prehaps another PT next month? LA Noire im thinking.

I just want to move my credit from BBV before it goes down under lol, maybe I'll just use whatever credit I have and buy a console and pay the difference. Not sure if BBV even sells consoles though.

They sell them - IF you can find stock.

I couldn't find a way to transfer credit either, so I have a BNIB PS3 here, waiting for me to decide what to do with it. I wasn't prepared to risk losing all that credit, and I didn't want to end up buying back more movies after going to all that bother clearing out ones I already had. Trade experts might have been able to move the credit more effectively, but since TIVs are constantly changing, and I have little idea what's a qualifier to start with, I took the simpler approach. I don't want to load myself up with a bunch of unneeded and unmovable turds, and I'm beyond the point of buying new-release, full-price games anyway. Fable III was apparently an option at one point, but its TIV has reportedly tanked, while its BBV price remains unchanged, so that's now a non-starter.

Both are right. BB drop the value but no one updated it yet, EB has it on their MW list as $35 until end of the month.

FS/BB adjust their value base on game release date with few exceptions. EB base on the popularity of the game.

Just found that out myself lol. Instead I just took in the gow collection, Killzone 3, and chrono trigger ds and trade for mw3. It better be good now lol. Iended up with 12 in credit left over and the game paid for 100% which seemed odd to me but what ever.

Anyone else seeing the mass reports of LA Noire cooking PS3's? It got so bad that Sony and Rockstar released a statement (the usual "we had nothing to do with it"), but there is some definite evidence that the game ratchets up the juice and at the very least, causes excess heat and higher-than-normal fan activity.

this is definetly true. While there is no doubt that it is an awesome game (best game of the year so far me), it definetly heats up my PS3. My PS3 makes all sorts of funny noises during the game as well especially during the interrogation scenes. I play the game now for only an hour at a time .

I played many hours this weekend and didn't have any problems. According to the game stats I have played 17 hours, just started playing on the 19th....I usually do 3 hours at a time.

Few hours into the game with no issue what so ever. 2-3 hours last night with my ps3 turned on and play couple of hours prior.

Did u try on all of your ps3? Like the one with move bundle and few other of your ps3 and they all did the same?

[Captain Snazzypants]

Same issues reported with the 360, and not terribly consistent. Rockstart blamed the PS3 (since it's clearly the thing to do these days) but it was literally hours before it was confirmed to be their problem. Game has already been patched - not sure if this "fix" was part of it...

I'm surprised those two games are even on a PT list; I expected pre-orders to be pretty high. But considering EB recently tanked a bunch of TIV's and next month's MW list is terrible (no $40 TIV's), a 25% bump is acceptable to them.

You're telling me that getting a 25% bump as opposed to a 50% bump is going to stop you from getting a game you were "definetly looking forward to"? Really?
They DON'T have to give you anything, we aren't entitled to anything from them yet they still offer a promo on a AAA title.
If you really wanted this game you wouldn't be waiting for eb to have a PT on it because they are so all over the place with their promotions, we were lucky they even offered 25%.

Seriously, EB/GS are really starting to take advantage of their customers. And it hasn't gone unnoticed. I've personally traded less than one fifth the value of games to them so far in 2011 compared to the same time last year. And best buy, future shop, and even blockbuster (rip) have seen huge increases in trading this year.

Couple this with the likely elimination of any $40 trade value titles next month and you have a losing combination.

Don't mean to spoil the ebgames haterade party, but is the powertrade list even 100% confirmed or just pure speculation at the moment? It just seems odd for a powertrade up to be 25%. And even if that's the case, everyone should be glad that it's on the PT list in the first place.


I don't know about you guys, but I already got the most out of eb's increased tivs and did more than enough T2s to have my Infamous 2 and others all set :lol:

[KINGJAMES WITNESS 23]

With Infamous 2 being a PT title, is it possible that it might not be a T2-T3 title now? I know Duke Nukem is a T1-T2-T3, but when LA Noire came out and was placed on the PT list this month, one of the EB reps told me since its on the PT list, its not a tier trade title.

Well that sucks. Here's hoping Infamous is a trade 2 @ FS or BB. :mad:

Maybe it depends on the manager or even just the store itself, but the EB that i always go to has let me do a tier trade for any title i want. she said that she was in a video conference with HQ and that they specifically told her that any pre-order title was eligible for the tier trade.

Did a run around after work today... here are some values:

May 24, 2011

EBGames
---------
Alpha Protocol (PS3) - $9
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (PS3) - $9.50
Burnout Paradise (PS3) - $5
Call of Duty: Black Ops (PS3) - $40
Fable III (360) - $16.50

Sacred 2 (360) - $5.75
Split Second (360) - $9
Super Street Fighter IV (PS3) - $12
Time Crisis: Razing Storm (PS3) - $13


Best Buy
---------
Alpha Protocol (PS3) - $1
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (PS3) - $12
Burnout Paradise (PS3) - $2
Call of Duty: Black Ops (PS3) - $40
Fable III (360) - $8
Fifa 10 (PS3) - $7
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 (PS3) - $12
Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition (PS3) - $15
Sacred 2 (360) - $1
Split Second (360) - $1
Super Street Fighter IV (PS3) - $8
Time Crisis: Razing Storm (PS3) - $8

Went and traded Burnout Paradise, Fable III, Fifa 10, Sacred 2, and Call of Duty: Black Ops into Best Buy and got $78 in gift card. There is no need for the trade 5 'more than $8 TIV ' games in to get that $20 bonus. Best way might be just get tons of EB qualifiers and get tons of used games that has high TIV games for Best Buy and trade them into a few stores and then combine all your gift card into one (For those that still needs to move all those Blockbuster Video credits...).

LOL, Vinny's apprentice.

Only reason Best Buy saw an uptick in trading from yourself and others was all the hoarding that went down during the RP sale and to some extent the WM sale. And thats's the bottom line.

Try taking your business elsewhere, but BB/FS also tanked tons of values, so GL with that one champ. It's just another part of the cycle of life, just gotta sigh and move on.

Seeing as how WM is aggressively lowering prices on new titles you're better off giving your business to them. EB wants your cash on new game especially on hot sellers like COD and BF3. Just don't buy these titles from them. Pre-order them from BB/FS and you will hurt EB's bottom line. Now if thousands of customers do this it'll start to erode EB's profits.

I mostly only shop at BB/FS because I hate how EB ripped they customers.But EB games always has these cool exclusive bonus whenever it's a poster, exclusive code, shirt or whatever they always seems to have a exclusive PO that no other stores has.So I'm not surprise that many people PO from EB for these exclusives.

[KnucklesSonic8]

well they had both of those 3ds games at 19.99 to try and move them lol.

I have Madden NFL Football but not from that sale. Do you recommend I try trading it in at Best Buy soon, or waiting until the sale goes away and see if the TIV improves? I knew I should have traded it in last week..



And best buy, future shop, and even blockbuster (rip) have seen huge increases in trading this year.

Couple this with the likely elimination of any $40 trade value titles next month and you have a losing combination.


Yeah, I've traded in numerous games in at Best Buy this year compared to the select few I did at Gamestop.

Honestly I'd wait b/c its a 3ds game and don't think its a permenant sale price.

[KnucklesSonic8]

Thanks very much for the tip. Ideally, I would like to get $20 for it. Maybe by the beginning of next month, it'll go back to normal.

NP, idk now its 39.99 new regular price. I just think there low balling it like all tivs. So if you wanted to try another store it be worth it. 3ds games should be atleast min 8. They need to build up there used game base of 3ds games at eb. But hey thats just my opinon lol.

I couldn't believe this....

Went to one of the BB to do T5 after work just because it's close by.

When they had T3 for $10 extra, they told me it has to be "over $8", tried twice, same thing. I went by with 5 games all over $8 today, CSR brought out a "list" and said T5 needs to be "from the list". :facepalm:

Can anyone tell me where I can make a complain? :mad: :lol:

What "list"? Where are they pulling that from?

I did the T3 for $10 Extra a couple weeks back and the only requirement is that it has to be in their database. I don't recall reading anything about them having to be minimum $8. If I try this and they pull that on me without proof/fine print, I WILL call them out since I did this sort of deal before.

[yoda12320]

Nah, I'm just saying they should be above min 8 for promo's as they should be building up a used 3ds base now. But honestly if you can get a better deal/tiv elsewhere use it lol.

Oh right, of course. Well, I'll see what promos they have. Last promo I did was to get the 3DS which was worth it. Before then, haven't traded stuff in a long time let alone take advantage of a promo.

[braveblade]

Does anyone know if bbv carrys psp 3000 or psp go console?

[blainehamilton]

LOL, Vinny's apprentice.

Only reason Best Buy saw an uptick in trading from yourself and others was all the hoarding that went down during the RP sale and to some extent the WM sale. And thats's the bottom line.

Try taking your business elsewhere, but BB/FS also tanked tons of values, so GL with that one champ. It's just another part of the cycle of life, just gotta sigh and move on.


The bottom line, is the selection available from the Sony Store, Rogers and Wal Mart sales gave you a good stock of titles for little money, and Best Buy / Future Shop / Blockbuster offered better value if you traded those titles there, instead of going to Gamestop or EB Games.

Last year, the $25 console credit at Gamestop / EB Games was the best deal around. On top of that, Blockbuster went on a fire sale for older titles. A match made in heaven.

This year, it's Best Buy and Future Shop and Blockbuster (rip) that are offering the stellar deals. Other than the deal of the day games earlier this year at Gamestop / EB Games, and the recent trade 2 for any used game, they haven't stepped up their customer value.

Future Shop iPod Touch trade 5 is arguably the best deal so far this year.
Best Buy has been running $5/$10/$20 bonus for trading in ANY value games at least once a month since January - perfect catch all for those piles of $1 Wal Mart titles, or people that want to get rid of old collections that GS/EB offer a pittance value for.
Blockbuster has been awesome for giving insane trade values for older titles, especially the ones GS/EB cleared out earlier this year, and Best Buy and Future Shop were only too happy to match those deal of the day prices.
Best Buy has been offering $10 off preorders AND $10 in Reward Zone (800 points) credit for game orders.

What has GS/EB given us other than the above mentioned offers? Higher selling prices for new releases than Best Buy and Future Shop. Excessively tanked trade values for much of March and April. Continued refusal to pricematch any competitor. And now reduced trade in value, and reduction on powertrade credit for the 2 most anticipated titles in June.

You are better off getting Infamous 2 and Duke Nukem Forever from Best Buy. It'll probably be on sale for a cheaper price, and they will likely give you $10 in Reward Zone points on top of that. Worth way more than any promo code EB/GS might offer.

Which of those stores bumps your $8 TIV titles to $25 tax-inclusive on many/most of the latest titles and even towards console purchases? :facepalm:
Each of those stores "brings it" at different times in different ways. If you're a smart, savvy shopper you go where the deals are at any one moment in time, and you don't get pissy about it.

[Dan_Kow]

You're telling me that getting a 25% bump as opposed to a 50% bump is going to stop you from getting a game you were "definetly looking forward to"? Really?
They DON'T have to give you anything, we aren't entitled to anything from them yet they still offer a promo on a AAA title.

Take a pill Jethro.

People complaining about this are using basic M-A-T-H, a skill you do not seem to have mastered, and stating that a 25% PT is actually a scam, as it would actually make more financial sense to do a T2 +$9.99, or in some cases, a T3. A 25% bump is nothing, and is a ploy designed to sucker in the foolish and uneducated.

Sigh, all this "EB is the devil/scam artist" talk again? Does no one remember what EB was like two weeks ago, or were we all too busy sending in clunkers like DTR and HAWX2 for a bunch of Blops? This place is starting to become like a broken record. Whenever there is a hot deal at EB, people are too busy to post and flock to take advantage, but once EB slows the deals down, since people have all this free time, they just sit on RFD and rant about how bad EB is.

It is *not* about "slowing the deals down", it is about EB openly promoting a scam 25% PT offer that is a worse deal than a standard T2+$9.99. It is a S-C-A-M designed to lure in the foolish to be fleeced, and we have every right to highlight it as such.

[sunchaser53]

[ichit4k4_set0]

Get over it people, 25% bump is not that bad. And I was just thinking last week that it would make more sense forthem to offer 25% instead of 50%, and I still think it will happen in the future, for all games.

Whatever happened to, "caveat emptor," or, "Let the buyer beware"? The onus is on us, as customers, to make rational and informed decisions. I don't think this can be classified as a "S-C-A-M"; a fair number of people are going to use this promo and are going to enjoy its benefits. Is there something better than the 25% PT? Yes, like you said, a T2+$9.99. But I doubt the average EB consumer/gamer thinks the way like the people on RFD does, and is more concerned with unloading whatever they have so they can buy whatever they want.

+1

The power trade (wether it be 25% or 50%) is a good option if you have games that are less than $8 at EB.
Of course if you have qualifiers than the T2 deal is better.
A good CSR would point out the better option for the customer....sadly not all CSR's will do this.

[Dan_Kow]

Sorry, but that is absolutely incorrect, and all that BS left once companies really started to openly scam customers, prey on the elderly, rip-off the less intelligent, etc. It is a bad, bad, bad world out there, and information is king - BTW, why am I being trolled just for posting information so people can make "informed decisions". You want it all hidden, right?

You seem to like playing the idiotic "blame the victim" game, and you sound like the owner of that telemarketing scam operation on TV targetting old age homes.

T3 for Infamous Hero/Duke Balls edition. Then 25% PT rest of credit to top off the extra $30. Way better than other $100 C.E.'s where you basically have just straight up credit. This at least saves you a little money, so I think this quite good.

[Super strokey]

Ha well i used the T2GIF used promo this month on Crysis 2 and popped it open last night to take a look at it, the DLC card was in it so i thought hey why not, plugged in the code and luckily it worked. Nothing like some DLC from a previous user. Its nothing big but still cool to have gotten.

A 25% bump is nothing, and is a ploy designed to sucker in the foolish and uneducated.

Jethro... :facepalm:

Using this "MATH" you seem to think you have a monopoly on, the 25% bump works pretty well for games that have a high TIV or a sub-$8 TIV and is preferable to a T2 + $10-$20 (if that will even be an option for the games on the 25% PT list). You know what it's better than? Nothing, to be exact, which is exactly what all the other retailers are offering as 'similar' boosted TIV promos for these same games.

You may have noticed that every retail store in the universe has both high and low priced items, relative to other retailers. Some great deals at Walmart, but other items that are much more expensive than the store next to it. And so on, and so forth. This is not a S-C-A-M...it is the nature of retail, and those who are not wise enough to recognize deals and maximize their hard earned money will spend more money than they need to. But who cares? They apparently don't, so why should you?

From what I've heard it can depend greatly on the CSR who serves you. Some CSRs will let you T2/T3 toward pretty much any preorder while other people report being stuck with a very strict set of games each month.

That being said, they ran a deal this past weekend letting people T2/T3 toward any preorder, so if you go in, you might get lucky.

Do you not filter all that crap that comes out of that mind of yours? You just spew conspiracy non-sense every which way, and when your argument begins to fail, you resort to flaming the other person, or make wild accusations. If you feel so strongly about EB's "SCAM," please, contact the proper authorities and alert them. Maybe CTV will push their story about elderly people being scammed to a different time and publish your story instead.

I can't believe you would compare EB's 25% PT promo to a telemarketer who targets elderly people. Talk about idiotic exaggeration of the situation just so it can fit your argument.

I just realized, why are you even wasting your time ranting about "EB's SCAM" here? It's like going into a fitness gym and preaching about the importance of maintaining a good health; talk about redundantcy.

PT 25% is in EB south of boarder for a long time IIRC.

http://www.gamestop.com/gs/specialty/tradeins/
See, at least we got 50% on LA and Brink here whereas US has the little 25% only. lol to that.

If you think T2+$9.99 is a better deal, then go with T2+$9.99 rather than 25%. I m not sure why you are complaining since you can at least have EB as a choice.... not like someone.... :cry:

PS3 Up! EB $8.50
PS3 Fallout: New Vegas EB $10
PS3 Oblivion:GOTY EB $15

Also Qualified at EB, but unsure of prices: Borderlands (PS3) and God of War Collection (PS3)


I also picked up Mortal Kombat used at Bestbuy for $30. Was surprised to see it for such a cheap price since it is a new game (even though it requires an online pass). Not sure if this was store specific or a pricing error (I think $30 is the TIV for this). And RDR:UN is also on sale for $19.99 new for anyone who might want it.

Traded some real stinkers at Best Buy tonight. I had some games that they wouldn't take on previous trades because they weren't in the system. The guy just rang them in as generic NDS/360/PS3 games for $1.

Some of the games I traded in, 360 NHL 2k6, 360 NBA 2k6, ps3 MLB 07 The Show, 360 NBA Ballers, PSP MLB 07 The Show, NDS The Daring Game For Girls, NDS Chi Chi Robot Park Patrol, etc, etc.

Plus he did 3 seperate transactions so I could trade in all 15 titles I had at one time. $20 bonus on each group of 5. Walked out with a gift card with almost $90...

This was at the Best Buy on 17st and Whitemud for any other Edmonton members that want to dump some old old games. YMMV.

That game's definitely a keeper ;).

That's awesome that you unloaded all those old sports games and did it in one visit.
