w/ EBG, TIV isn't dependent on how old the game is, but whether or not it's still in demand and/or if it's rare

FS/BBV seems to follow the "w/ age = lowering TIV" trend


but that said, an '07 sports game still holding that high a TIV is a lil surprising to me (sports game TIVs at BBV/EBG tend to drop the fastest)

It surprised me when the guy told me $19 yesterday. I remembered seeing a high tiv on www.tivs.ca and then saw it at BBV for $9.99 used. I drove back home and checked the site/called EB, but when I went back to BBV, it was gone.

If you rent a game at Blockbuster, you can get any old sports game (used) for 50% off. Only one store in the Bowmanville-Whitby area that I checked, had a copy of TW 07.

[kleptodathief]

is tivs.ca on twitter? i think thats a good idea to post tivs on twitter

[Jagmit]

I think i have 3 games for a T3G1 at EB, but the two EBs near me don't take games for Modern Warfare 2 yet. The EB in woodbine only lets u do it on a few games, the EB in Rexdale plaza near WalMart has a greater selection but not Modern Warfare 2. Is that a YMMV? And i can just preorder lets say Arkham Asylum (maybe they'll have a gaming guarantee?) and keep switching preorders until they let me do it for modern warfare 2? I just want to reserve it now with T3 so that my games don't go down in value and i won't worry about sheling out the money for it later on, it is the hottest game of the year :P

well, you can always pre-order some game and return it and get full price back and use that to pre-order MW2. Transformer 2 has a gaming guarantee. you could use that one

Like the above poster said, pre-order Transformers and then trade it back in. Get your credit back and apply it to Modern Warfare.

[Jagmit]

yeah but its too late to preorder transformers, its out on tuesday (i think) and thats when i'll be heading out to eb to pickup fight night and trade in my games. i guess i'm gonna have to take the long way. preorder another game and later on exchange for the preorder or what not.

[shanomac317]

Ghostbusters (360) at Blockbuster is $49 as of today for TIV.

I'm sure you can pre-order it tomorrow. And then go back on Tuesday to pick up both your games.

[the_fm]

Ghostbusters (360) at Blockbuster is $49 as of today for TIV.

:eek::eek::eek:

[Wick98]

:eek::eek::eek:

Probably because they sell it for $69.99 new. I rented it and my receipt says I can buy it from them for that price.

[winson82]

Ghostbusters (360) at Blockbuster is $49 as of today for TIV.

wow crazy I don't think i've ever seen such a high TIV.

[neksus]

[grappos13]

That is definitely a new record. I'm kind of leary updating it until somebody confirms it...

i guess it doesnt count.. but what about when FS had that extra $15... ppl would trade in like fallout 3 and would get $55 TIV to use to get ufc..

[Ryd3r234]

Anyone know how much GRID on PS3 is @ EB? The American site says its $29.99 new and I've noticed American price drops usually pop at EB Canada within a few weeks.

[the_fm]

i guess it doesnt count.. but what about when FS had that extra $15... ppl would trade in like fallout 3 and would get $55 TIV to use to get ufc..

that doesn't count either because it was a promo and you could only use it on certain games. i'm talking about the 15 extra

Hey guys, disregard my previous question. I know this is not the right thread to ask in, but I don't know where else to ask. Can anyone recommend me a good headset that I can use for the PS3 that is $20 - $30? If you know a better place I can ask this, please tell me. Thx.

Ask in the cellphones section. Any Bluetooth headset will work. Ask them if they can suggest a good one under 30$.

[Jagmit]

just to confirm, did you guys know if you try to trade in 3 games and and only 2 qualify, you can pay 1/3 of the price, so for a 69.99 game you would only pay 23.33 and then you can trade in the other game that never qualified lets say it was $7 and it would become $15. wow never knew this.

It's policy, but most employees don't know about. Huge YMMV.

Got Prototype 360.

Wow. I hope this is a joke.

[HBP]

Wow. I hope this is a joke.

I don't think he traded in those 3 games for the 1. He was merely stating he did a T3G1(with other games) and also mentioning the TIV of those games.

[dtrader69]

[kwijibo]

The one EB by me won't do it, but I'm not sure if it's a store policy, or just the idiot guy I always seem to get.

[Setz]

Wow. I hope this is a joke.

Yeah, I was joking. Who would trade in Prototype for Prototype? I actually got Twilight for PS2.

[neksus]

i know...that was my sarcasm in return...

That's why I said the haha :razz:

[Jagmit]

The one EB by me won't do it, but I'm not sure if it's a store policy, or just the idiot guy I always seem to get.

Just got back from EB, as the dude was scanning the games (Prince of Persia 360, Zelda DS, Lair PS3) I was telling him about the thing about bumping the tiv and paying 1/3 of the price. And the guy didn't know anything of it. I told him i talked to someone over the phone, apparently he wasn't their. But the clerk wouldn't buy what I was saying. So i told him to talk to his manager, and what do you know? Apparently it was implemented "today" and the word didn't get to him. Anyways i trade in the games and it came to 53.66, I added $5 from another preorder i cancelled to make it 58.66. Now when i go pickup MF2, i will owe about $10+tax. Pretty good for some crap games i traded in (POP, Zedla weren't crap but got old lol). So yea overall, if you go to an EB and they don't know about this, just ask them to ask the manager. 2 games must be >$8 TIV and one should not qualify in order for this to work (i think thats the jist of it)

[mahjongmaniac]

just to confirm, did you guys know if you try to trade in 3 games and and only 2 qualify, you can pay 1/3 of the price, so for a 69.99 game you would only pay 23.33 and then you can trade in the other game that never qualified lets say it was $7 and it would become $15. wow never knew this.

the last game has $7 TIV and it would be bumped to $15?? o_O

i knew about T3GIF and paying the diff. if you were only trading 1 or 2 games in ($8+ TIV), but i'm not understanding that if you have a 3rd game that has <$8 TIV, it would also get bumped in TIV? :confused:

23-7 = 16 close enough

[kleptodathief]

to clarify, if u traded in 2 games that were over 8 tiv, and that 3rd game was < 8 ( ie. 7 tiv ) u'd have to pay 18.45$ more to get a 69.99 game?

i was ******** and traded in 4 games that were over 8 tiv and 2 others were xactly 7 tivs each! i shudda just kept the lowest 3 tiv games! o well, u win sum u lose sum :(

EB is selling it used for $24.99 and Futureshop is selling it for $23.99.

Does EB price match themselves? My friend bought Crackdown used from them for $19.99 last year and still has the receipt.:lol:

Hello everyone, I was just at Rogers Plus renting a game, it seems they now do trade-ins. They have a small flyer in the games section showing some trade-in values. Games like UFC, Bionic Commando, Resident Evil 5 and inFamous have $40 trade-in values, and there are a bunch more in the flyer.

[kleptodathief]

^ can anyone confirm RV stores do trade ins in the GTA?

[Haz]

Yep, they have Trade 3 Get 1 Free on 17 games across 360, PS3 and Wii and Prototype is Trade 2 Get 1 Free. Just head over to your Rogers and grab the little flyer, unfortunately I don't have a scanner.

The EBGames clerk would have had to scan/check it to give you the value regardless. The way the computers work is that we scan the game, value appears on the screen, and it's printed to the receipt. We cannot issue credit without the computer scanning the game (ie can't put in 27$ manually).

[177a12k]

Is blockbuster still selling Crackdown for $9.99? I saw it brand new there for $29.99 but saw no used copies at the ones i went to.

Does EB price match themselves? My friend bought Crackdown used from them for $19.99 last year and still has the receipt.:lol:

Should have it still at 9.99 used. I called one store near my area and asked if they can do a store search to see if anyone has them around them. You should do the same. I was able to find 2 copies, 1 for my buddy and I.

[LORDSTC]

games are now more affordable, hurray

[munsifn]

how does the gaming guarentee work?

i have a copy of transformers 2 and its not that great IMO

if i take it back to EB can i choose another New Release? If there is nothing that i want, what are my options?

The only game that i might consider is Call of Juarez, but im on the fence about it.

Can i get store credit for the transformers game and use it to buy accessories, such an extra controller, or some other PP games?

thanks

Now I have a question. I went to do T3GIF for BlazBlue, but they said they wouldn't do it since it wasn't on there list. I had to choose from some crap games so I picked transformers since it was 69.99.

I still have it sealed. Is there any way I can get my blazblue? I would sell it on eBay but after shipping costs + eBay taking there 15% cut + the fact it only goes for about 45usd makes it not as sweet. I would sell it on BST but the game is apparantly garbage. I need some expert help lol I'll be damned if I spend 70$ + tax on a game.

[grappos13]

umm just get store credit for returnign the transformers game and then use that for ur blu teletubby game or whatever

[brucedlx]

Will they take a return for store credit on a game you did T3GIF for? They've hassled me for it before. Does it have to be at the same store? Because they know I already wanted BlazBlue so they will think something is up?

Also where did you get blue teletubbies lol? Did I make u angry somehow? BlazBlue is a fighting game.

[HBP]

Goozex good or bad?

[grappos13]

^ haha no.. not u.. just some friend of mine has gone on and on about that game to me lol..

umm transformers has gaming guarantee.. so they cant say anything to u.. u might as well open it, beat it.. then return it and get full store credit.. then get blazblue...

i havent had problems before.. but i wouldnt go and return it and then buy at the same time, id go the next day, or another eb

There wasn't a word about gaming guarantee in there store + I didn't really pre-order the game I picked it up. Another EB Games I went to before (to preorder KOF12 on a trade 3 deal) also knew nothing of the gaming guarantee for transformers and this was before it came out.

So do I just take back the game and ask for credit then? I guess I'll try it.

So do I just take back the game and ask for credit then? I guess I'll try it.I've done it before and did it again for T3G1 for Fight Night Round 4 since it was $69.99. Will pick it up and then return it at another store for credit.

BTW, your little something will now help BBV clear out some games! :lol:

Did you pre-order Transformers 2? Or did your store let you do the t3 after release? If you still have the pre-order pickup slip, you can take it back (sealed or opened) and get full price on an EDGE card.

[grappos13]

i just signed up for goozex.. as i wanna get rid of my sealed tiger woods 09 and it is still 600 points... another really interesting thing on there is that..

MGS4 LE is 1150 points!!! considering this was available for 26.99 at FS like month back..that means u can get a brand new release game.. and a lower end crappy game for like $30 at that time.. heck.. mgs4 LE is still 45 dollars so u could still save 20 for many new releases by going that method..

[brucedlx]

neksus: EBGames in london are weird. They let you t3gif for random things. I could have gotten infamous or prototype if I wanted to and those have been out for a while. Transformers I got today so it wasn't a pre-order.

Can I just take it w/ the receipt to another EB Games and get store credit?

As for goozex: Do you have to pay the shipping if you're selling? That'd make it cold since Canada post is a ripoff. It would be even worse if they made you get a tracking number and what not. Then you would be paying like 10$.

Also how does the disc only/disc + case crap work? I don't get how a game that's disc only has the same "point value" as the same game which includes case + manual. Why would I ever ever trade in the case and manual? Even if I have it, I'll just keep it and put it on eBay make 5 bucks or something, not like it's worth any less on goozex...

You think goozex is cold because you have to pay the shipping (1.96 in canada), but you also think you can clean up selling(and shipping) empty cases on ebay? That makes sense...

goozex is a great deal. they've been more aggressive adjusting values the past few weeks to get the ones that weren't trading moving, and active trades have gone from -3000 to 5000+

It would take a least *several* minutes at looking at how it works to understand how much better a deal it is then trading to eb etc.

1.96? Do you ship it across the street in mail envelopes with a stamp or what? And this is just standard games, collectors tins and the like would cost an arm and a leg to ship. Please let me know how the hell u r shipping games for 1.96.

And who said anything about empty cases? I was just asking why the value of a disc only game is the same as that of a fully complete one. You think it makes sense?

I won't be using it regardless. Too much of a hassle.

It's $1.96 to ship a standard DVD sized case to anywhere in Canada, just put the game into a bubble mailer, throw some stamps on it and drop it in a mailbox. Yes, it would cost more to send collector's editions as they would be larger and have to be mailed as a parcel but on Goozex there is no real reason to mail out the full package like that.

[HBP]

Shipping a regular game with it's complete packaging is under 200g, so lettermail is $1.96. This is without tracking. CanadaPost has never lost a package for me yet.

Obviously shipping a collectors edition would be more... but you must have got that collectors edition to collect, no?

MGS4 LE sold out much faster in the US, we got stuck with a lot more copies that didn't sell so it still holds a better value south of the border, hence the high point value.

[greywolf501]

Oh yeah... he sells alot on Amazon so that's why he's so active

[Lone_Prodigy]

With Goozex you can specify your trading region as either Canada-only or Canada+US. With the former it takes longer to request/offer games but shipping is lower. Sending to the US is about $5-6 after taxes but you would get a request/offer much faster.

Personally, I like saving on shipping and I'm not terribly concerned with getting a game right away so I have it on Canada-only.

I'm actually pretty surprised that people send out GH/RB bundles: shipping must cost a fortune.

Hi, quick question. I never trade my games in at EB.

You have to trade 3 qualifying ($8 in value or greater) games in order to get 1 free game. They are usually applied to a pre-order of a future release. I've been able to get a game that was already released before, but this depends on the person there. TIVs is very reliable when it comes to current values. It's also up to us to help Neksus keep the site updated by posting values here.

^to be more specific, you can still do T3GIF for any game that has been released w/i 2 wks time
any time after that, YMMV... i've done T3GIF for a game released as far as a mth ago, and it's prbly just cuz the CSR was nice/didn't care

In terms of which games are eligible, that depends on the store. I've been to a few stores that let you do any future game that's listed in their system while others will only let you do that ones they specifically advertise for T3G1. Also, I think all EBs will let you get games released within the last 2 weeks; anything beyond that is a YMMV situation.

Hey,

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but picked up FNR4 at FS while doing a trade in and they have a promo for only this game in which they add an extra $10.00 to the trade in value. I believe the minimum value is $8.00. Traded in Far cry 2 which ended up to be a $23.00 credit.

[brucedlx]

wow you got owned

Not necessarily. It's possible that since only two of his games qualified, they only rounded those 2 games up to 23.33 TIV, then made him pay the rest (7 of it came from the game, 13 + 5 = 18 out of pocket).

why is that?

because when best buy puts it on sale for 30$ and the hoarders start hitting up best buy then trading at EB to pocket a quick 10$, EB will catch on and decrease the tiv to something like 30 or 20.

So for those of you who want to get rid of NBA 2k9 and can't get your money's worth through craigslist or ebay, this is probably the best case scenario. not that I don't enjoy the game, but it was time to say good bye and make 1 final good use of it :cheesygri

As of the afternoon of Saturday, June 27th:

XBOX360 - Future Shop:
X-Men Origins: Wolverine - $40
Prince of Persia - $3.60 (yes, you read that right)

So, I ended up taking Prince of Persia to Blockbuster and got $18.00.

[brucedlx]

Yesterday, I found a bunch of good trade-in games (Madden '09 x3, Star Wars TFU Wii x2, and Don King Boxing Wii) for $17.99 (but buy 1 get 1 free) at Rogers Plus, and COD3 at BBV for $15. Problem is that none of them had instruction manuals. I'm starting to get annoyed by the fact that 90% of the $8+ tiv used games I find at those stores lack their books.

A lot of the time EB Games does not care. I've traded in plenty of games with no manuals.

[crazycamera86]

PS3 saw the drop in NHL09 at EBGames. Took it to FS and got $30. I wonder how long they will keep it at that price.

So, I ended up taking Prince of Persia to Blockbuster and got $18.00.

the reason for that is prbly b/c they sold it for $20 on sale recently

if you look at the other PS3/360 games that were on sale for $10/20, pretty much all TIVs for those games dropped accordingly

When i traded in 3 games at EB for the trade 3 promotion. 2 out of the 3 of them had manuals. The csr told me that he would disregard the last one since 2 of them had manuals. I always find that some EB Games care some of them don't it all depends on the store.

I was at Bureau en Gros today (staples), and they had a lot of $19.99 titles that I'm pretty sure are good for the T3G1F like Simpsons Wii, Pool Party Wii, some Sonic games etc.. had some Xbox and PS3 titles too..

while 3 x $19.99 isn't that good of a deal, there are some coupons out there such as a $25 off $75 (would have been nice to use, but the wife was there and was forced to stay away from the games)...

Agree. They do suck. Except for Motorstorm: Pacific Rift for some reason... so I traded that in there since I already got Rewards Points Card and their new release games are pretty cheap sometimes. Traded in Bioshock and Crisis Core for Prototype which was pretty good.

Yes you can

i find that to be a YMMV (depends on store/CSR)

i remember back during the TXGIF promo for DSL/PSP, i was once denied a trade in b/c 1 game was identical despite diff. platforms. CSR said it's considered "duplicates" and they don't allow same titles

meh, sorta same thing w/ duplicates on same platform... except that perhaps duplicates on diff. platforms may allow you to slide by easier

[Sajiko]

There promotion for trading in 3 games over #8 for a new release is so awesome. I wanted to get White Knight Chronicles for the PS3 but they didn't have a sku :(

So I think I will go for either MAG, FF13 or ModNation Racers.... hopefully they have a sku of 1 of those.

[grappos13]

This explains A LOT!

+1...

heck.. i have soo many sealed games.. if i thought it was at all legal and ethical, id go take a lot back to walmart..

[gheart008]

They did have a b1g1 free promotion availible, but it never dawned on me to check to see if any of the games were on the list of the games that they accepted for prototype.

I have a 300 dollar credit at EB games i'm looking at trading for cash. going to be unloading a lot more of my games first so I want to see what it will total. But I think I can score some more prototyps first...

And no tax...



Didn't realize there were so many honest people on the interwebs...

PS- If i returned many things and did that often, I'm sure they would catch on to me, first time I ever returned anything and first time I ever did a Trade in, probally last too as I'm almost out of games. Doesn't make what I did right, but in my defense, I walked up stated I had no receipt and they handed me a gift card, never even gave me a chance to claim ignorance which is still not a defence. But first time in my life I came out on top of something. And I accept that hell will have to kick out some pedo's, murderers, and rapists to make room for me, a guy who made 110 dollars today against a multi billion dollar corporation.

I know, I'll become a christian and ask for forgiveness....problem solved... lol..

I really think you should stop talking now.

I think it's OK if you do a little buy and trade from BBV to EBGames let's say to get a new game you want and not have to pay almost 69.99+tax, but to get games from one place and return them to another simply to make a buck (illegally) is just taking it too far.

Believe it or not, I once had a game that qualified for the trade 3 rejected because it only had the french manual. I was told that the game was only complete if it had both the english/french manual or just the English.....but, having just a french manual means it's incomplete and can't be accepted. The guy flipped through all the manuals to make sure there was English printed inside.

Infamous still TIV at $40?

It was yesterday, EB may have changed the value of it today due to the BB/FS sale. Can someone confirm this?

[Setz]

You're not going to believe this, but I just did an EPIC transaction at EBGames. I got an absolutely clueless CSR at EBGames who DID NOT CARE at ALL.

Bought two inFamous at Bestbuy at 29.99$ a piece.
Went into EBGames, asked for TIV and quoted 40$ each.
Traded in both inFamous games for 50$ each towards two new copies of inFamous (+10$ for trading towards inFamous).
Pricematched on the same inFamous, making each of them cost 29.99$ each.

If this is all confusing for you, I took advantage of a lot of things, and ended up with a huge profit. In the end I earned 20$ on each inFamous (100$ TIV credit) by trading in, and then rebought inFamous at 30$ each (no tax 'cuz of TIV credit), and ended up with 40.02$ in credit for free, essentially.

I could have turned around and in turn sold those back to EB and it'll be a continuous cycle of 40$ profits. But I decided to go to another EBGames and trade in one inFamous (only need 1), so in the end...

I spent 67.77$ at Bestbuy buying inFamous x2.
I received 100$ at EBGames by trading them in.
I spent 59.98$ at EBGames rebuying inFamous x2.
I received 40$ trading in inFamous at another EBGames.
Total: One free inFamous and free 12.25$ in store credit.

[mahjongmaniac]

Just called local EB and TIV is $40 for inFamous. Isn't it supposed to be $50?

It's 50$ if you trade towards inFamous.

Normal TIV is 40$, but there's a promotion going on (ends tonight) where if you trade in games TOWARDS inFamous, you get an extra 10$. 40+10=50.

king of rfd right here

It's 50$ if you trade towards inFamous.

Normal TIV is 40$, but there's a promotion going on (ends tonight) where if you trade in games TOWARDS inFamous, you get an extra 10$. 40+10=50.

I see... the person at the cash was pretty ******** to have given you $100 credit for 2 copies of Infamous in exchange for 2 other copies of Infamous. That's really nuts!

Nothing illegal or unethical about it. 29.99$ is what the price of inFamous is, and 40$ (50$) is the TIV of inFamous. I had every right to do what I did and the clerk had no right to stop me.

[The Cake is a Lie]

I can't find any mention of the +$10 credit on inFAMOUS, got a scan/website Setz? I traded in inFAMOUS yesterday and I wouldn't mind an extra $10.

[ClassChanMan]

Wow, if people are doing that I might consider that. But I only have one copy of Infamous ... I Plan to play it :[ lol

Btw, TRADED IN AT EB GAMES THIS MORNING

You need to trade TOWARDS inFamous.

The link is for Futureshop, but EBGames did it for me as well. If you're having problems, tell EB of the FS promotion and they'll do it (have to match TIVs is one of EB's policies). I can scan the receipt sometime this week. This isn't the EB I work at so I don't know if it's store exclusive or not. YMMV may vary I guess.

I just tried it at Complexe Les Ailes (Montreal) and it didn't fly. They were awfully rude and asked me why I wanted to trade in inFamous for inFamous. I then pulled a dumb dumb and said my copy sometimes freezes on my system and then they pulled the "well it's defective and we can't give you TIV" card on me :(

Partially my mistake, but also the clerk at this store wasn't as careless as the one where you managed to pull this off.

I should've just been adamant and said I have every right to swap inFamous for inFamous.

Even if you can't net the extra 10$, they should have said yes regardless. Just say it's 30$ new, and you can get 40$ credit.

The TIV fluctuates daily (never hourly) dependant on the price of the game in other stores, the price used/new at EBGames, and how much quantity they have traded in in a specific amount of time. If you trade in 10 inFamous today and buy 10 inFamous from your credit, you may make 100$-200$ in credit for nothing, but I guarantee you by the end of the night, the TIV will be below 7$.

Infamous - $40 at EB

I didn't have the heart to rebuy the Infamous.
10 credit is cool with me.

They were telling me how people and their buddies were coming in one at a time, buying them and selling back to them lol ... they turned down many people...

I told them I bought my PS3 (Well I did thats not a lie) 2 days ago because the dude remembered me and believed that I bought Infamous before the sale :]

[grappos13]

i traded mine in for $40 tiv.. they said they never heard of that extra $10 promo... too bad setz wasnt more clear originally... and they wouldnt sell it back to me at $30 as the one they take in has to be put at the used price... which is still 64.99..... so i used the extra $10 over the $30 paid to get half price off the used gamecube i got.....which colour is nicest for the gamecube? i got a black one but they had like silver, purple, blue.. anyone have any thoughts on that they could tell me plz.. thx

Aw man, you gotta trade in for 40$, then buy a NEW inFamous at 30$. Used one will still run you 64.99$.

just comeback from ebgame, while i tiv infamous, the other guys received a call to lower the tiv to 20$...i was the last one to tiv it for 40$ at this ebgames.

[Birdman]

Traded in Infamous to BBV for $42, walked a block and a half to EB and bought another copy for $29.99.

Felt a little bit guilty about doing it, but BBV had pre-viewed TV series on buy 2 get 1 free, so I used the credit towards the first seasons of OZ, Carnivale, and Wild Wild West.

[Wick98]

It's too bad that EB will (most-likely) be closed tomorrow. I found two decent trade-in games when I was at Blockbuster tonight, for $25 (together.)

Pool Party Wii

Hopefully they'll both have $8+ tivs on Thursday.

that mortal kombat vs dc tiv is sitll pretty decent.. i played the game one time lol...maybe i should trade it in

heh, that's too funny. so FS reacted to BB's sale price, but they didn't bother to change the TIV and neglected to change the extra $10 TIV promo for buying infamous...

what's weird is, just for fun, i phoned for TIV at FS this evening and was quoted $15... CSR said it was on sale to PM BB's sale price.
methinks he was lying as he told me $15 right away, and didn't even take any time to check on their system...

RFD effect? sounds like to me a bunch of ppl were already taking advantage of the $30 sale price and trading it in for $40 to make a quick buck....

last i recall, their flyers have only advertised "we'll match/beat any TIV" or "we won't be beat on TIVs" (sth along those lines)

ya.. im hearing its bad.. i pricematched it a couple of months ago and got it for like 15.99... maybe i should just go and trade it in... i think when i got it, it was at around 25 TIV.. so its gone down recently..

I was thinking about keeping it since it was unopened and was not planing on playing it anytime soon. i just got curious why it was still 20 tiv. i decided to give it a try and i think it was worse than conan which i ended. might as well do a trade 3 or even just a straight trade for $20

Anyone know what NHL 09 for 360 is trading for at EB?

[ApolloCreed]

NHL 09 TIV --> www.tivs.ca (thanks to Neksus)

it's $7

As of two minutes ago:

Wii:

Ninja Reflex - $8
Pool Party - $8

360:

Call of Duty 3 - $7
Ninja Gaiden 2 - $12

[mini kangaroo]

NHL 09 is 7 dollars in EB as of July 1st (probably the same today)

I traded in mine to Futureshop July 1st for 30, consider the fact that NHL 10 comes out in about 2 months, 30 is a good return.

Will preorder NHL 10 from Futureshop July 3rd to July 5th using the 30 credit and the 10 off 50 coupon, comes out to be just under 65 after tax and shipping (apparently, i can't seem to choose instore pick up on preorders)


On infamous, i checked with Futureshop's trade in, value was 40 as of July 1st also, could've buy a new one of 29.99, and trade it in right then and there, but didn't, just didn't feel like doing it. (not sure if they would let you anyways)

you'd need to wait for the street date in order to do so, but of course, for your case you won't be able to use the coupon by that time

Yeah, what i might end of doing is go buy it on the day it comes out, and when i receive it in the mail for the preorder, just return the sealed on in the mail with the higher price receipt, still save 8.50


As for the guy you were talking to, maybe (who knows) they got a memo saying infamous tiv is 15, and the person i talked to was a girl, and she doesn't seem like a gaming expert when i traded in my NHL 09... so that could be it, plus July 1st was a stat hoilday, meaning they might not have been able to change their system, i am sure it's lower today for any stores BUT rogers/bbv (i think bbv is 42)

ghostbusters x360 @ BBV is now only 35 as of today

it was hella hot at 49 bux the other day

also can confirm infamous tiv at 20 and ebg is SELLING it at 22.49$ used! on edge! best price!

[cyberg4]

Whats the TIV like for infamous at FS at the moment (are they still honoring the $40 they state on their website)? Most stores around the Edmonton still have it, and it would be a shame if all those copies went unsold while they were cheap.
I would like to note that I have not gone around to purchase any copies yet as I believe that people who actually wanted the game should have the first chance at buying it, but at this point it seems like a waste to leave copies unsold to be $40 more expensive tomorrow when I could buy them and trade them back and make a quick buck (assuming the advertised TIVs are still being honored).

yup.. picked up a copy... they told me that on Tuesday, the system didnt change it to 24.99 used but left it at 64.99... too bad it wasnt 24.99 used then lol...then u coulda traded in ur sealed ones for $40 and buy them back for $22.49 lol

[neksus]

Quick show of hands:
How many people would purchase blank 360 media cases if I bought a bulk pack and sold them via tivs.ca?
1 would probably cost ~$3 ($2 to ship plus product/handling), and it would get waaay cheaper from there. I'll look into shipping costs, but it would be cost + product, maybe with some type of scalable reduction on the cases. I'm not out to rip anybody off, but I'm sick of buying used games that have crappy battered cases :razz:
I often keep the good cases and trade in the bad ones, but they get to a point where I'm pretty sure the case simply won't fly.
If anybody's interested, I could try piecing a few together (like a ten pack, twenty pack, etc) and see how much the shipping would be. Let me know :)

[Eclipse09]

if you can get ps3 cases i will vote for yes. even when i get used games that are not broken, and i want to do a trade 3, i sometimes switch cases

MGS4 - $7
Ratchet and Clank - $7
GT5P - $7

Note: These are also now 19.99 used (down from 24.99 used yesterday.. shows that the TIV went down right there)... if u have an edge card, then its only 17.99 for used MGS4, GT5P and R&C... those r some wicked prices for some great games right there..

Golden Axe PS3 - $20
Ninja Gaiden II 360 - $12

Infamous at BBV - $42

NHL 09 PS3 at FS - $30
Fallout PS3 at FS - $40...

too bad i didnt think of it at the time.. but basically, u coulda got $50 credit for fallout and got infamous for $30 on june 30th... meaning trade in fallout 3 and get infamous and $20 credit lol.... what i did do tho was..trade fallout 3 in for $40 + the extra $10... then get FNR4 or TW10...use the $10 off $50 coupon from now till sunday... means u can get FNR4 for fallout 3 + $10... or TW10 for fallout 3 + $10...

yea, thats a good point. IMO i think not giving TIVs over the phone is a good idea, it can stop hoarders that specifically go to stores to find cheap games and take them all to trade in. TIVs.ca is good enough i think.

they used to.... but perhaps it's the RFD effect that got'em annoyed a while back... :P

np, i was trying to do the t3gf1 but they where only $7. Just my luck

[ProtossCraft]

went to futureshop today to trade in infamous, at their "trading station" it said the TIV for the game was $40, but after the CSR went to another computer and checked their systems the TIV was said to be $15. So im guessing the TIV at the trading station wasnt updated and that the new TIV for infamous is $15. Luckily she did manually override and i got the $40 TIV. But im guessing the new TIV at FS for infamous is now $15.

FS' web portal is always lagging behind, but they always override it with whatever the web portal shows.

Even when FS first started in the used game biz, their systems were like that.

I didn't like 09 I have 07 which I like a lot more so I get my console wrestling in that way.

ahh.. ya overall 07 is the better game id say.. but i did enjoy the road to wrestlemania's in 09... u prolly woulda been better holding off for somethign else.. heck u coulda bought an extra cod3 for $10.. then traded them both in for like nhl 2010 and got $25 TIV for each one...

How long is that sports deal going on for cause I might since I have another cheap tiv lingering around.

[Bargain Bin]

Does anyone know if Uncharted 2 is available for pre-order at EBGames (via T3G1F or outright pre-order) and how much it is? Just curious if its even on their list yet and if its at $69.99, the apparently new standard price for video games in Canada.

[Pinleros36]

Hey traded some games the other day(June 28 2009) at EB games, here are the ones that need updating:

PS3:
Rock Band(game only) - $4
Guitar Hero:WT(game only) - $7

Xbox360:
PGR4 - $7
Blue Dragon - $6

I also got infamous for $40 before the fiasco. Got a bunch of ds games going in today(some not on the list) i will update soon.

[grazor]

X Men Origins: Wolverine (360) $35

For anyone looking a cheap game eligible for T3G1F, buy Rapala Tournament Fishing (360), it's only $9.99. You could also get it for 50% off ($5) if you rent a game.

[whadda_dealio]

You should be able to...as I did a T3G1F pre-order for Uncharted 2 last week. Receipt shows that it's a $69.99 game.

Traded my fallout 3 (ps3) for $40 at FS and got Tiger woods 10 for $10 off
they didn't allow me to use the 10 off 50 together

Also they didn't allow me to trade in nhl09 cause of the sku not matching
that always happens to me.

Came from eb games(July 5 2009) here's the list:

ps3:
bioshock - $12

ds:
magical starsign - $7

ace attorney Phoenix wright(1st game) - $5
lost magic - $3
lost in blue 1 - $8

Tao's adventure - $4
cooking mama - $7
lunar dragon song - $3
gh on tour - $13

asked if I can get t3g1f, the guy said only certain titles apply?
I thought any worth 8 dollars apply, not sure if I got screwed or not.

[PsychoMantis]

Also they didn't allow me to trade in nhl09 cause of the sku not matching

thats odd, i traded in a couple copies of nhl 09 just yesterday, got 30$ a piece. the rep. just put in the bar code numbers and eventually found it...

[mcdullgamer]

Has anybody seen any cheap ps2 games under 10 bucks?

[Rakesh079]

Anyone know what the TIV of Dead Space is at BBV?

[neksus]

asked if I can get t3g1f, the guy said only certain titles apply?

You definitely got screwed. Any game with an $8 tiv is good enough for EB's trade promos.

you got a lazy rep. if they can't find the sku, they can search for the game and give you the tiv quote. go back and ask for it considering fallout 3 collector edition gives the same problem.

really? u got screwed then...

both markham locations let me do it.. i just did it now at both locations.. between 4pm and 4:45 pm.. one at markham and one at markham east.. also.. i went and bought $50 giftcards first at both locations, with the coupon... no one said anything.. got the $50 GC.. showed coupon, she put it in.. giftcards game out to $38.70 each..

traded fallout 3 for $40... used the $10 credit and the $10 coupon.. so the game came to 56.49 or something.. used the $40 credit from fallout 3 and extra from the GC ($16.50) i just bought to get the game...also traded in nhl 09 separately for $30 credit + the coupon..

then went to markham east... bought a $50 GC for 38.70..went back in... got them to PM tiger woods 10 for 59.49 with dell... then they used the $10 off $50 coupon.... and then the extra $10 credit as well..so that came out to like $44...used the $30 giftcard from NHL 09.. and $14 from the other extra giftcard..

all in all.. spent 77.40 + fallout 3 ps3 + nhl 09 ps3... this got me FNR4 ps3, TW10 ps3, $50 unused GC.. and $19 left on another GC... take out these GC... i got FNR4 and TW10 for fallout 3 + nhl 09 + $9.... amazing deal id say :)

Rogers is a pain in the ass for trading games. They hold the damn games up to the light and say, oh I see two little scratches, we have to take a percentage off. Plus you need to sign up for the Star Rewards card which costs $10.

haha, ok that is a lot of work, they did search for the nhl09, but it didnt match any of the numbers they have
as for the coupon, i just checked the link of the coupon, fine print says can't combine promos, as well as can't use it to buy gift cards haha.

Anyways, the one i went to was at young and 16th, which other ones take trade ins in markham?

[grappos13]

^ lol.. thats actually the location i traded nhl 09 in today at like 3:30pm...had some skinny, euro looking guy.. he just looked it up, saw it was $30, then did it right away.. it was nice and fast... did fallout 3 at markham...

their restrictions seem to be worse than EBG... missing manual = deduction
at least that's what a MOD told me

the good part is that sometimes you can take advantage of the discrepancy and get the higher TIV =)

hasn't it been $70 MSRP for new releases for a while now? (except Wii games)

if the CAD soars back up to $1, we might see the MSRP drop back down to $60...

ROFL... i just realized that :-0

[Bargain Bin]

if its the multiplayer BETA, that expired i believe

I heard if you pre-order Uncharted 2, you get a multiplayer demo code (from like Aug 19-late Sep). Dunno if its jus a U.S. thing or if its valid here too. It shows it on the U.S. site.

http://www.ebgames.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=73462

Just curious.

[Eclipse09]

they said there is going to be another online beta/demo releasing later, so probably the people who pre ordered the game get it closer to release date

[Bargain Bin]

Alright. Btw, I've never done a pre-order b4, so if you pre-order a game like Uncharted 2, which has no certain release date at the moment, do they do anything different than a regular pre-order?

[Eclipse09]

Alright. Btw, I've never done a pre-order b4, so if you pre-order a game like Uncharted 2, which has no certain release date at the moment, do they do anything different than a regular pre-order?

They have a date on their system. if there is no real date, they just have a approx date
but there is no difference than a game that has a release date

forgot to post the TIV for Tony hawk Proving Grounds for the Wii, it is 11 at EB

apparently the game is high in demand for ps3. They were selling a used copy for $64.99 a couple weeks back but now i see that it dropped to $49.99 used. What a rip off.

i think EB is starting to take advantage of high in demand games. I saw Guilty Gear for ps2 at one EB for $39.99 USED!

[kleptodathief]

Nintendo Wii System trades at EB for a whopping $50! Yes, me and the sales rep were very shocked about this on Saturday. It's disgusting how EB is dropping the TIV on just about everything lately.

I am definitely not updating that until I get a confirmation! There's noooo way this dropped $33 overnight...either somebody at EB HQ is doing their job or this is going to be a deal of the day...
That said, you should have taken it to Future Shop and gotten $40.

Not sure if this helps but on Friday i checked the TIV of Fallout 3 for 360 and it was still $40 @ EB

[Haz]

Just called EB.

Fallout 3 PS3 - $7
Fallout 3 360 - $40

Yeah, weird.

[ashs]

at BBV I traded in Red Steel wii for 10$,

they wouldn't take Kareokee revolution (American Idol edition), I guess cause its originally a bundled item with mic. was hoping to get 10$ for that.

[Nothing_man13]

Fallout 3 360 $40

On another note I traded in fallout 3 (ps3) at futureshop this week for $40.

[OldSchoolGamer]

Just called EB.

Fallout 3 PS3 - $7
Fallout 3 360 - $40

Yeah, weird.

Probably because the 360 has the DLC right now, might go back up once the PS3 version gets it.

[revenge7777]

Just called EB.

Fallout 3 PS3 - $7
Fallout 3 360 - $40

Yeah, weird.

Maybe because fallout 3 for ps3 will be $10 soon at some store:cheesygri

[grappos13]

they didnt drop the TIV of COD3 when it was on sale :P

btw.. fallout 3 for ps3 is still $40 TIV at FS as of yesterday... and u can get an extra $10 if u put it towards fight night, tiger woods, virtua tennis and harry potter

cuz fallout 3 BNIB is still selling at 60bux at most stores >:(

[NoName #1]

I don't know their individual TIVs but
Ninja Gaiden 2 (360)
Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (360)
Brunswick Pro Bowling (Wii)

All still qualify for T3G1F. I pre-ordered a copy of Wolfenstein.

[Squeeky]

If the TIV for PS3 Fallout is $7, then what is the used price at the store? Shouldn't it be $15-20 then?

WHERE did you get that assumption? They prob won't sell it for super cheap, maybe like 49.99 at the lowest.

[dtrader69]

WHERE did you get that assumption? They prob won't sell it for super cheap, maybe like 49.99 at the lowest.

i didn't think he assumed anything from what he wrote (it was acutally surprising that i can decode what he said for once)...he just hoped...

[NonStopInTheMix]

If the TIV for PS3 Fallout is $7, then what is the used price at the store? Shouldn't it be $15-20 then?

it seems that falling TIVs are only parallel to prices at Blockbuster.
At EB it usually isnt as its simply a sign that they have too many copies on hand.

[appleb]

WHERE did you get that assumption? They prob won't sell it for super cheap, maybe like 49.99 at the lowest.

I think the existing copies of Fallout 3 will tank in price soon, with the Game of the Year edition coming out around October (which includes all the DLC)

[mahjongmaniac]

yes they do

other "normal" stores i can't vouch for

[TheGamer2400]

Went to BBV yesterday and traded these Xbox 360 games in:

NHL 2K9 - $4
NBA 2K9 - $6
MLB 2K9 - $21

I noticed on their website that MLB 2K9 had a minimum TIV of $30 as it's one of their Top 10 Trade In games, but supposedly it's an error as they went through their internal memo sheets and it wasn't listed there at all. Oh well :(

[Setz]

Star Wars Force Unleashed for both PS3 and 360 are 14.99$ used at BBV. Lots of copies left at my nearest one; good price for a decent game.

Picked up 360 version.

Star Wars Force Unleashed for both PS3 and 360 are 14.99$ used at BBV. Lots of copies left at my nearest one; good price for a decent game.
I'm not sure about the PS3 version, but the 360 version was stickered and scanned at $19.99 at two locations here about 3 hours ago.

Picked up 360 version.

that would make me want to return my sealed one i pm'ed for $21...

but i believe i saw it at BBV last week at 19.99.. same with ratchet and clank, which i picked up.. only to see that EB has it for 19.99 - $2 for edge card lol..

EB has it for 19.99$? I went to EB to pick up Medal of Honor Airborne for 15$, then went to BBV to pick up SWTFU. Was looking for Battlefield 2 for 360 but not gonna pay 29.99$ at EBGames for a launch title.

CoD4 is back to normal pricing? 360 version up from 24.99$ used to 28.99$ used; similarly, World at War is back to 64.99$ new.

[Psubs]

Went to BBV yesterday and traded these Xbox 360 games in:

NHL 2K9 - $4
NBA 2K9 - $6
MLB 2K9 - $21

I noticed on their website that MLB 2K9 had a minimum TIV of $30 as it's one of their Top 10 Trade In games, but supposedly it's an error as they went through their internal memo sheets and it wasn't listed there at all. Oh well :(

Why did you trade NHL and NBA then? Why not try FS or EB games. You might get $7 from EB and that's plus tax.

[SeiferSeven]

Here are some trade in values I just received this evening, hope it helps!

This was @ a Best Buy in Edmonton

Fight Night Round 4(ps3) - $37
Halo Wars(360) - $40
Terminator Salvation(360) - $22.80
Bionic Commando(360) - $22.80

Fallout 3(ps3) - $40
Prototype(ps3) - $40
Ghostbusters(ps3) - $25.20
Resident Evil 5(ps3) - $40

[guhboogi]

does anyone know what happens to the extra $10 credit that FS has for games like tiger woods, if you decide to return the game?

[greywolf501]

You will only be refunded what you actually paid for the game as it shows the $10 as a coupon on the receipt.

likely not an error, but rather just that their online website rarely gets updated (or perhaps not updated freq.'ly enough), such that even when new promos come up instore, online website would still show prev. promos

for "min. TIV" promos, "top XX games wanted, highest TIV offered" promos, you're better off phoning for a TIV quote

[greywolf501]

Trade-in values from July 7:

Super Swing Golf Wii - $3

I'm pretty sure those two amounts should be switched

[grappos13]

I'm pretty sure those two amounts should be switched

nope... ninja giaden 2 was $12 at EB on sunday... did a trade in with it.. so i guess it went down to $8 today...

for rogers trade in, anyone know if u can trade in "not for resale"?

[TheGamer2400]

Why did you trade NHL and NBA then? Why not try FS or EB games. You might get $7 from EB and that's plus tax.

I traded it in so I can get rid of it as I'm eagerly waiting for the 2K10 versions. I checked Tivs.ca and there wasn't that much of difference to go to either EB or FS in order to trade. I went to BBV mainly because they gave better trade value for MLB 2K9, which EB offers only $7 for it.

[Wick98]

I meant those two values should be switched because it's been confirmed that NG2 is only $3 TIV now

Yeah. My mistake. Sorry about that. I had my Mom call for tivs while I was at the lake and she mixed them up when she told me last night.

Super Swing Golf Wii - $8

360:

Ninja Gaiden 2 - $3
Rappala Fishing Frenzy - $15 (just checked today)
Top Spin 3 - $9

PS3:

Top Spin 3 - $9

[Goomba]

^lolz mama's boy! anyone know wot the tiv for singstar ps3 game? i seen it selling at tscc for 10bux!

Only Vol. 1 is $10 and TIV won't qualify for trade 3 at EB Games.

[djstiles]

Just traded in the following at BBV, all for 360
Lost - 10
MK vs DC - 33
Wolverine - 42
Facebreaker - 10
Lego Star Wars complete saga - 10

Got $115 added to my account - bought rockband 1 set and only had to pay $3.65 after trade ins!

They're having a promo right now for $10 min tiv on non-sports (read: EA) games.

[_RFDealt_]

Just asked Futureshop at 16th and Yonge, MGS4 LE is trading in for $8.30 hahahha.

[DFS 360]

they wouldn't take any 2K sports games either for the $10 promo, the most they offered me was $6 for College Hoops 2K6. Also, some games don't qualify, they offered me $4.50 for Sega Superstars Tennis.

Again, I am a T3G1F Newb, no hate on my question please. i.e. GO CHECK FAQ HOE!

I believe I can pre-order any a new game right for 69.99? I want to preorder NBA 2K10 which is 59.99 ... but I would like the extra $10 credit too. How do I go about doing that? (I was thinking I pre-order worth 69.99 ... then return it sealed for credit instead? Does that work? Then buy my new game on the edge card?)

Your trades get rounded up to $20 (one to $19.99?) giving you $59.99 towards a pre-order. Anything beyond that has to be paid.

EB's max credit has been raised to coincide with the rising price of games; most CSR's give you an equivalent of $69.99. I've seen a a few give $25/$25/$20, whereas others give $23.33 x 3.
Also, to do this, just pre-order a game that has the gaming guarantee (the next one is Wolfenstein 3D), then return it for full refund no questions asked on EDGE.

welcome to the thread btw...

[Lakers24]

anyone know of a place on the net where I can find Cdn eb prices for games that are a year or 2 old? I dont usually shop at EB, but most stores stop carrying 360 games after a year or so. And I hate having to call every time I wanna know a game. I saw that nice TIV matrix, so I was wondering if anyone knew of something similar for just prices to buy games at the stores that dont have prices shown online? Any Ideas???

[maxpowers]

Infamous is $42 @ BBV as of today. Great game. Finished both as good and evil guy, but really no point keeping since there's no online multiplayer.

The Godfather - PS3 - $10
Far Cry 2 - PS3 - $7.50
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 - PS3 - $8
Lord of the Rings Conquest - X360 - $15


It's nice that the Godfather is still maintaining even though part II is out. Too bad Far Cry 2 has dropped from $15 only a few days ago, maybe a sign this is gonna be a door crasher? LOTR:C hasn't been updated in a while so, if you own it, it might be time to ditch it soon if you've finished it.

As much as I like and don't like you, I don't think you need to go and give away a game you worked to hoard/get. Just post deals when you see them like you did about the most recent $10 min. tiv at BBV. Or actually SHOW the games on your friggin' receipt lol, because that's pretty much the same as people posting tivs here in this thread. That'll get you mad love. Not giving away a so-so Batman game lol. See, I noticed you wrote AA and not AAA hahaha.

it seems to be always on, but i don't recall it being advertised instore lately...
then again, i've yet to bother to ask

good thing you brought it up, b/c w/ the current min. $10 TIV promo, that means a lot more games may automatically qualify


EDIT: also, i think most ppl recently have been focusing on trade-in promos at FS/EBG/RP instead... BBV has been "swamped" by their competitors =D... their T4GIF doesn't seem to be as appealing anymore...

Fight Night Round 3
Sega rally revo
Lego Star wars
Moto GP 07
Tomb raider Legend
Perfect Dark Zero

How long is the min. $10 TIV good for at BBV? Is it nationwide?

[tietherope]

Bah to Killzone 2! I was going to trade that in this weekend at EB.

It was dissapointing. The latest value on tivs.ca showed $40 only a few days earlier. It is still $40 at Rogers, however I wanted to get credit towards Left 4 Dead PC version which Rogers does not carry.
In the end I traded Killzone 2 and GTA IV for Left 4 Dead and $2.

Seeing as Far Cry 2 has dropped so much I am going to use it for the trade 2 get Prototype free at Rogers. If I can find a store with some in stock.

[baconape]

How long is the min. $10 TIV good for at BBV? Is it nationwide?

im in ottawa and i traded some crap the other day and didnt even know the promo was on , i thought the guy was scaning wrong.

its unadvertised, the csrs dont even know about it

but with the current bump to 10 min, turds like lost planet and spiderman friend or foe, could be back in play. id rather trade for games for git hero metallica or a pre order of wolfenstien thantrade a t eb for 1.50$

true enough, as most of the time (even if BBV doesn't have min. TIV promos), EBG's TIVs are usually lower than what BBV offers

but recall that for BBV's T4GIF, their req.'mt is how much the RSV (resale value) is, and not the TIV

[deezz]

Yeah this thread definitely helped bring the idea to fruition...that and making the old scribblewiki better! Alot of work (and alooot of time!) has gone into this project, that I bet most people don't even realize!

It's always appreciated neksus, and you've outlasted the competition too...if you look at Phil Sousa's signature, you'll notice the absence of a certain website lol


snip

but recall that for BBV's T4GIF, their req.'mt is how much the RSV (resale value) is, and not the TIV

Hey what IS that required resale value anyway? is it a set minimum (like how $8 is the min tiv at EB), or does it fluctuate based on the value of the title you want to get.

[mahjongmaniac]

Hey what IS that required resale value anyway? is it a set minimum (like how $8 is the min tiv at EB), or does it fluctuate based on the value of the title you want to get.

in the past, the min. RSV was $15, but some indicated it was >$15...
no idea if things have changed as i haven't done T4GIF at BBV in a while now....

unlike EBG, BBV doesn't look at the TIV of a game, but rather how much the RSV is. ... usually the RSV is 100% markup of the TIV (e.g. if TIV = $10, then their RSV is at least $20)

EDIT: also for BBV's T4GIF, there's no such thing as "TIV bumping"... they have a promo barcode in which they scan (after scanning your 4 games) and the remainder of the diff. you'd normally have to pay is taken care of in a form of a credit which includes taxes, hence end result is a "free game"

[deezz]

^ cool to know, good answer thanks MJM.

Never heard of trade in promos for free games at Blockbuster...well, not at the Blockbusters I've been to. But I wouldn't be surprised, the employees themselves are dumbfounded by trade in promos. Anyone know if BlockBusters in Toronto do this deal?

i dunno about bbv, i bought frature (for achev points i swear, i got about 750) for 9.99 last week and then gave it back on mon for 10.00 ????

The only thing you have to be careful about when doing the trade to get free at BBV is that the last time I inquired about it (for COD5), it was trade 4 get a game free (that was $59.99), and the problem was that blockbuster was charging $64.99-$69.99 for all of the new releases so none of them applied.

well, you can't blame them for promos that are unadvertised (like the current min. $10 TIV promo for games)

[KQ_Jai]

do MGS4 and Socom qualify for EB's trade 3 get 1 free deal?

But they don't give you the trade credit on the Edge Card when you trade in your games right? It just goes under your name on their computer or something like that...

[mahjongmaniac]

no.... when you do trade promos for a new game/upcoming release, it's never put on Edge card.
it's just credited towards the other game

if it's a pre-order, they take your 411 and there's a record on their system. when it comes out, they call you on street date telling you to go p/u

not sure if this was posted... so ill post a couple EB items first..

at EB now..

Skate 1 for ps3 is 14.99 used
Sega Rally Revo for ps3 is 9.99 used... and only $2 TIV now.. so good for those that got it in on time...

also at EB, this might deserve its own thread maybe i dunno... ppl dont like the game.. but GHWT for ps3 was 24.99 brand new...although it MAY have been stickered wrong... but if not, and u already got like a RB2 bundle..might be nice to get this game for cheap.. and if u can PM at BB or FS.. could get it for like $21

2 days ago at EB, i saw they had GH metallica for ps3 stickered at 29.99...grabbed and saw the sticker said ps2 even tho it was on the ps3 cases.. was nice and informed the manager and he fixed it...

ok so here is the big TIV for hoarders out there....

EndWar PS3 is $24.00 TIV at BBV!!!!

i ended up waiting till 7pm to let everyone in my area get a hands on a copy of they wanted for keeps...then i went and traded in 6 copies (3 from EB, 3 from FS PM..all stores also had copies left after i got a couple..so i didnt steal their stock lol)... turned about $55 of cash/EB credit into $144 BBV credit.. not too bad..

good luck west coasters who can do this!

quick question, i want to trade in UFC Undisputed to futureshop, and i am looking into getting the $10+ credit, but the games that are eligible i either already have, or am not interested. Can i use the credit to buy a game, then return it/exchange it for another game after i purchase it? (it'll be sealed). Kinda like what some ppl do with EBs trade 3, they preorder something they don't want, then return for credit or exchange after they pick it up. any insight is appreciated.

i dont think so...

lets say u go to buy FNR4 for 69.99... trade in ur UFC.. get $40 on a GC... when u go to pay for FNR4.. they will take 69.99 - $10 from ur receipt where u get the extra credit...so u pay 59.99... if u go to "exchange" they will only give u back 59.99.. so ud lose that $10...

if u wanna sell me UFC for $40, ill take it :)

is that extra $10 TIC still avail. at FS? i thought it was over, since the current flyer only advertises the normal "$40 top TIV for select games"

[PsychoMantis]

Has anyone traded NHL 09 yet? Im looking forward too trading it.This is going to me first trade.Do you need anything too trade except the game?(membership?)

futureshop is probably your best bet, according to their website their still given 30$ for it (7$ at EB and 10$ at blockbuster). you dont need a membership, just a piece of ID the first time i think, and they put your credit on a gift card

[grappos13]

is that extra $10 TIC still avail. at FS? i thought it was over, since the current flyer only advertises the normal "$40 top TIV for select games"

i think it finished recently... i did it last weekend... but u can purchase the game with the coupon up until july 15th i believe... so i think he already did his trade in before hand, got the coupon on the receipt and wants to try and do that..

[Jagmit]

what is this "trade in select games for a $40 in store credit" at futureshop. in the fine print it says eligible games must have a tiv of $10. Wtf? R they saying i can trade in something like, lets say Banjo Kazooie, or end war and get $40????

quick question about that EB trade policy. I traded PoP, zelda phanton hourglass, and lair a while ago towards MF2. I mentioned their policy where they bump up two games (cause lair was $7 tiv) to 23.33. I got that done so i essentially owe like 16.33. I was wondering, what if i didn't have a third game, and JUST 2 games that qualify, would they still bump the values and make me pay 23.33? So i wouldn't need a third game that doesn't qualify? Cause if i can, then it kinda defeats the purpose of the trade 2 for 20 doesn;t it?

When doing the T3GIF, you NEED to trade in three games (one of them can be <8$, but that one isn't bumped to 23.33/19.99). You cannot trade in two and just pay the remaining 23.33/19.99.

i don't think it's "policy" for them to bump up the 2 games that qualify, but that's supposedly what happens for every qualifying game, regardless of whether or not you have all 3 qualifying $8+ TIV games for the T3GIF promo

hey guys, I know that people tend to resist change, but maybe some day, we could split this thread into 2. Because cheap games and TIVs are sorta different topics, and whenever I check it's mostly just TIVS and sometimes I can't even tell whether it's cheap games or TIVs. But I never trade in any games so that doesn't apply to me, and I can't be the only one that doesn't sell games but still looks for some good cheap games :D. anyway it's just something to consider maybe?

[Setz]

i Trade 2 with the bumped up value a lot of times without the third game (when i cant find one)

At my store we never just took two for 46.66$/39.98$, we always required a third game, regardless of the TIV.

They will deduct the $10 when you return the game. That's what happened when I returned the copy of Fight Night I bought there. But I was just happy to get the $40 trade-in value I got for Wolverine onto my debit, as opposed to having it in Future Shop credit.

[gianttama]

sorry for asking, but can't really go throught 500 pages of posts to find the answer.

my question is:

hey guys, I know that people tend to resist change, but maybe some day, we could split this thread into 2. Because cheap games and TIVs are sorta different topics, and whenever I check it's mostly just TIVS and sometimes I can't even tell whether it's cheap games or TIVs. But I never trade in any games so that doesn't apply to me, and I can't be the only one that doesn't sell games but still looks for some good cheap games :D. anyway it's just something to consider maybe?

That's true. If a cheap games thread gets started off, I'll modify the thread title and convert this one to the TIV thread. Actually, I probably will end up converting this to the TIV thread, since that's really the most common topic here.

[whadda_dealio]

EB TIVs (July 12) :

Bust-a-Move Bash (Wii) = $11
Shaun White Snowboarding (Wii) = $19
Marvel Ultimate Alliance (PS3) = $15
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (PS3) = $12
Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 (PS3) = $8
Nascar 09 (PS3) = $11

=========================================

BBV TIVs (July 12) :

Kung Fu Panda (X360) = $10
Far Cry: Instincts-Predator (X360) = $10
Skate (PS3) = $6
Rock Revolution (PS3) = $24

* For those interested, at a local BBV, I saw 2 copies of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (used) stickered at $39.99 (EB has them for $54.99 used) *

Ya i think that's a good idea, if we started a diff thread it wouldn't even really have to be a cheap games thread, but a thread that kept tabs on EB and BBV prices of both new/used games since neither store has online shopping/prices, this way you don't have to call in to find a price EVERY time you wonder about a game. and if everyone chipped in with noticing the prices as they do with TIVs and even if a spreadsheet is made like the one for TIVs I think it could be successful :cheesygri. And you wouldn't really have to adjust for sales and stuff, because ppl would just start separate threads for those as with every other sale, but as far as keeping track of the regular prices at these 2 stores, I think it could be beneficial to everyone. Anyone else agree?

tivs.ca already has that set-up; that's originally what it was used for: the trade in values of EB/BBV, as well as the used selling prices at said locations.
There's a few problems with this:
1) Having the information accessible side-by-side with the trade in information would only perpetuate the notion of hoarding; that is, having instant access to see that game X is on sale for $4.99 at ____ and trade's in for $11 at EB would seriously hurt the people looking to buy games to play.
2) It's hard enough getting people to submit trade in values, let alone retail values.

There's a reason why the domain is TIVS as it means TRADE IN VALUES. Shouldn't start posting retail prices on it.

He has a lurker account.

Also, the thread idea is the same as having it consolidated with tivs.ca, it just requires an extra step that I'm assuming you'd be willing to do to profit of of other people's hard work. I tell you what - if klepto can get me used prices at EB/BBV/FS (FS would be easy, actually), so just EB/BBV of at least 200 games I'll consider opening it. You would be the picture-perfect candidate to abuse the system, so I don't see why you shouldn't have to contribute to forging it.

You're right. Entering game data for ~2800 games, getting pictures for ~1500 and single-handedly updating ~1500 games everytime I get a Future Shop mass-update is tiny in comparison :razz:

Neksus you do an amazing job and I thank you for it every time that I go to tivs.ca. When there is no data for a game or the data is old I curse the RFD users and not you. It is the peoples responsibility to give me in the information.

Now that I am done sucking up....could you think about adding in a Rogers TIV section for the website. They will be in it for the long haul and we all know that we will be able to get some nice deals there.

Thanks for the great work.....keep it up.

Actually, a Rogers section is already set up for current members of the site, which is still in a closed-testing period. However, my Rogers values are somewhat lacking - I've got one contact who works there (I'm not sure if they want to remain nameless or not so I'll leave it unsaid) who has been slowly populating the 360 section, and then presumably onto the next consoles time-willing.

For what it's worth, klepto, he's updated values of 231 games :razz:
The only other person who's updated more is me, with 19628 using the current system in place (not sure whether that's bad or good :|)

You keep track of who gives you the most info? Neat!! And it is Klepto...hahahahah. You have made my night by saying that. What a weird cat he is.

Now how do I become a member of the site? I post values of all games that I trade in. I just don't trade many because I am a collector, and collectors don't get rid of their collection.

Oh sorry, I said klepto because klepto was saying 200 values is alot to ask for, but the member who contributed the Rogers values has already given more than that. I might as well post a link here, as there's only 27 members currently and most of them ran out of feedback:

Here's my unabridged (original) private message:

Hey [insert your name here to feel special],

This link:
http://www.tivs.ca/account/register/
Should allow you to register, and
http://www.tivs.ca/account/login/
Should allow you to login.

The passwords are stored via md5 hash, so try and use something you can remember. I haven't created something to reset it yet, but md5 is non-recoverable, meaning if you forget it, for now, you'll have to send me a pm to give you a new, temporary password.

Once you've logged in, you should be able to see a navigational menu at the top - if not, report back. If you encounter any errors or things that seem un-intuitive, let me know. The game collection page isn't pretty right now, it still needs a bit of work, as does some CSS styling of the FAQ page. If you think of anything to add to any part of the site, feel free to let me know.

The site is supposed to simply look clean, as many, many people requested to keep it basic for mobile browsing. I don't really have a problem with that, as it saves on bandwidth.

For the games page, I plan on incorporating a tracking stat which tracks when people trade in games, to keep track of the best fodder/how many times games get traded in/most owned/most popular etc.

Oh yeah! If you have visual errors/something looks weird, let me know what browser/version operating system you're using and send me a screenshot if you can (not too picky about that part). I guess that pretty much sums it up for now...

You can send me a private message or, preferably, an email to admin@tivs.ca or neksus@tivs.ca.

Have fun!

Also, I only tabulate submissions from directly through the site. I've thought of tracking it by who submits stuff on the forums...but it would be a headache.

I must stress to everybody the coolness of adding games to your collection, and then viewing your collection, either through the community tab (which just shows pictures of the games) as well as through your own account tab, which shows you the values of your games at all locations at the last known time. Saves me a crapload of time!

[Scott Pilgrim]

I dunno, if you should post it. Maybe ask for PMs instead and send instructions. Regardless I'd be down to help out.

but yeah, now it's more like a TIV thread

Well this is the easiest step. Still some things to fix/implement, but this should give me a better userbase than simply opening the site up to open registration. I dunno how many people actually read every page of this thread...

I'd rather trade it into FS since I would never really buy anything from RP.

[Jagmit]

Guess what is going on sale next week.... :twisted:

its already on sale for 49.99 until tomorow i think.

[baconape]

Is 20.00 For Warhawk a good deal?

they still sell it used at bbv for like 50.00. you can probably buy it try it and dump it to bbv if you dont like it and get your 20.00 back.

[supreme_sole]

Went to BBV yesterday and they would not take End War because they said Ebgames is selling it for 9.99

im going to try another location, did anyone face a similar problem

[Jagmit]

I have a question about printing covers with UPCs to allow me to trade them in at stores like BBV or others. When i download the image from a website, should i just take it as is to staples? or do i need to resize it (cause the resolution seems big), + does the UPC really work, AND i can't seem to find any MGS4 covers with a UPC!lol

You don't even have to take it to Staples. Just upload it online to their print center with the dimensions you want it printed at. Let them do the grunt work :)

lol thanks nexsus for the quick reply. they don't charge extra for the online stuff do they? and they can do it asap? also are the dimensions of an xbox 360 case the same as a regular dvd case?

[Setz]

Yes to the 2nd question, iunno to the first.

[neksus]

It's the same price, and I think it's the same - roughly an hour depending on their workload.

tomb raider underworld 360 - $18
Endwar ps3 - $24

[mahjongmaniac]

I'd rather trade it into FS since I would never really buy anything from RP.

didn't realize FS offered $30 TIV for those mario games too.
some other mario games like Mario and Sonic at Olympic games and Super Paper Mario are all <$20 TIV

course they are... FS/EBG/BBV (and maybe even RP), they've prbly got s/b monitoring this thread every day

[munsifn]

when trading games into BBV, does it matter if the the game has any stickers on it?

for example, endwar. i bought from EB for $10, and the the sticker is on the case. will BBV accept it as is? or will i have to remove the sticker?

thx

Just take it back and see if it works, if not, go back, get that sticker off and then do it, not a big deal i think. I am pretty sure they take it back with that sticker, they don't care about the cases, they need that game cover though!

i don't think it really matters, as i've seen a lot of PPed games at BBV which have stickers indicating it was prev.'ly bought at EBG, pawn shops, etc.

but IMO, it'd be a better idea to remove all stickers including any indication that you bought it elsewhere... takes out the suspicion that you "bought it w/ only the intention of using it for trade fodder / get TIC"

[BlazinSun]

Today (July 16) at EB:

PS3 - Prince of Persia: $19.00

[Lakers24]

does anyone know the TIV of Rockband 1 drums?

[Scott Pilgrim]

does anyone know the TIV of Rockband 1 drums?

I can't see them being worth much at all, especially to EB. You'd be better off selling it yourself, and even then they won't go for much. RB1 drums are problematic, easy to break, and their sole purpose is to be pounded on anyway, so it is in everyone's interest to get a brand new one.

[roc914]

Just went BBV, the CSR (probably it's the manager) asked are the games i brought in are from EB (made a mistake of removing seal for one of the game)... He said he won't take anymore End War and MSG4. Damn...

Anyway,

07/16 - Block

End War - $24 (they didn't take mine copy)
Last Remnant - $21
Call of Duty 4 - GOTY - $20
Rock Revolution - $24 still

[longsey]

Traded to FS July 16


NHL 09 (xbox360) 13.20

[dfatcat]

does anyone know the TIV of Rockband 1 drums?

EB won't take in used instruments. Best option, sell them privately on Kijiji or Craigslist or something like it. Or maybe a pawn shop will take them.

[Bargain Bin]

So can anyone confirm if you do or do not receive the multiplayer demo code (Aug 19-Sep 27) when you pre-order Uncharted 2? I would pre-order it if I can get that code. Just wondering if its just a U.S thing or not. Here it is on EBGames U.S Site.

I had a copy of Fallout 3 from the US and tried to trade it at FS but some by the book csr wouldn't do it cause the upc wasn't in the system so I went back the next day when the douche wasn't there and a other csr just looked it up in the system and put it through so at FS it's a YMMV. Never tired the other retailers.

+1

I've traded a EUROPEAN PS3 game before (it says 16+ instead of M because of a different rating system) at EBGames and they took it.

[BinaryJay]

I just traded in Infamous which I got for $30 at FS (who reduced their price to match BB's sale, unfortunately) to BBV for $42. I got the Platinum trophy and knew I would never touch it again after that, so all in all, I got paid to play the snot out of the game.

[bluezero]

EBgames:

Bought a (new) copy of GHWT Wii for $20

Is there a sale going on or something..? I thought it was mispriced, but other people seem to have found the deal too.

[mahjongmaniac]

not sure about RP or FS, but EBG they do

for BBV, it seems like they don't (well, it's actually their system that doesn't seem to take US games)
i remember trying to trade 1 of the US copies of NHL 08 (won f/ pepsi contest last yr) and their system couldn't read it (i.e. UPC scan didn't ring up anything)

you can still trade it in if the CSRs know how to ring in the game trade manually via title search

[aaronsin]

anyone spot a good price on SONIC'S ULTIMATE GENESIS COLLECTION FOR XBOX 360, the cheapest I've seen it was at TSCC for 34.99

[NonStopInTheMix]

I went to BBV to trade in my copy of Prince of Persia today for $18

for kicks, I asked them to look up Build a Bear Wii.
-"sorry the system says we dont take trade-ins for that title."

as a sidenote, socom is $12 @ BBV for those still looking to unload their old copy
so they can buy a brand new one when the ebgames sale hits.

[grappos13]

just an FYI for some trophy "whoores" out there...

as WM has Terminator Salvation for PS3 is $29 (not sure if 360 is)....what i did was i picked up the game saturday... U can beat the game on Hard Mode in about 6 hrs of play time (or less, depending if ur good... i kept dying a LOT at certain areas and i still took 6 hrs or less to finish the game)... and u can get a platinum... there are only 12 trophies.. (1 for beating each of the 9 levels.. one for beating on medium and 1 for hard.. and the trohpy...beating it on hard unlocks them all)...so u can get it for $29 + tax.. play it in one sitting basically, get urself a platinum trophy..

then u can trade it in to EB games for $35 TIV.. yes its $35 TIV for terminator salvation for PS3...

not a bad deal.. gain $5 dollars and get to play it as a rental and platinum it!

OR...you can rent it the night after seeing Terminator in the theater with a friend, beat it co-op in 2.5 hours (on HARD!), then get a free rental exchange :razz:

yea, 6 hours is long haha. it was more like a 3 hour game, if it were 6 hours, it would have been a much better game IMO. I actually thought the game was great aside from it being over when it was getting good. I got the game off goozex, finished it, then got my points back from it to get Ghostbusters.

[rudyjuly2]

Bourne Conspiracy was just shown to get $20 at BBV an inFamous got $42 there too in the last 10 days. I'm going to trade those two games in Tuesday or Wednesday for credit towards Madden 10! Thanks guys and tivs.ca!

Hey, I wanted to return an item @ Futureshop, b/c have gift reciept for a game I already have. (Killzone 2) I also wanted to trade in Infamous. How is the process there, do I need to sign up or have anything other than identification?
I usually go to EB because its closer and pretty simple.

By the way, I was on the FS website, they have Infamous for $15 ... but tivs.ca has it for $40 still. Just wanted to point that out.

Just traded in Infamous today at Future Shop for $40. The first computer they use to get the trade in SKU shows $40. The second computer to complete the transaction shows $15. The employee doing the trade in for me changed it to $40 no problems at all.

That's good, I much prefer trading it at FS ... than having 2 credits @ 2 different places. Thanks, I'm going to go there now. How come the employee changed to $40 instead of $15 and not the other way around?

[rudyjuly2]

Just went to BBV in Windsor and traded my two games:

Bourne Conspiracy PS3: $20
inFamous (PS3): $42

$62 credit will make Madden 10 nearly free for me in a few weeks.

How come the employee changed to $40 instead of $15 and not the other way around?

they have 2 separate "systems"... one is a web-terminal for checking TIVs of games + includes SKUs for trade-in

the other is a POS (point of sale, not the other POS ;) ) terminal for trade transactions, where they refund you the TIC on a GC

they're supposed to take the TIV indicated on the web-terminal

[dbdudley]

Don't know if this is being recorded anywhere yet, but TIV for Rock Band AC/DC is $3 and Track pack 2 is $6.75 at Rogers.

To anyone who's interested, Uncharted 2 has an official release date of October 13, so it should be available for pre-orders right? Also if anyone can still help and answer the following: If you pre-order Uncharted 2 from EBGames, will you get the multiplayer demo code? Thanks. Now just need to get some games to trade in to lower that damn $69.99 MSRP.

P.S. If anyone can call EB for me (I'm busy at work) and ask for the tivs of these games, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Pokemon XD - Gamecube
Zelda Collector's Edition - Gamecube
Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess - Wii

I know some of em are old GC games BUT last time I checked (recently) they had like $12 tivs. Guess EB likes ppl to trade in mainstream franchises (pokemon, zelda, etc) and sell em for near MSRP prices. I dont have em in my immediate possession, but can get em off a friend for cheap. Any help is appreciated to lower the $69.99 MSRP as I plan to pickup Uncharted 2. Thanks in advance!

Could not find this in the FAQ @ tivs.ca
Lets take GH:WT for example ... according to tivs.ca

BBV - 30
FS - 22.80
EB -17

Are BBV and FS both taxed? I mean I know EB edge is tax free and you don't have to pay additional tax if you have 69.99 credit for a 69.99 game. Does BBV and FS work the same way? or is it only 30/ 22.80 on a gift card respectively. Thanks.

I assumed when it was stated how credit worked at EB that unless explicitly stated it didn't work like that at FS/BBV/RP :razz:
You get x on a gift card, which is applied to the sale after tax is calculated.

Overloard - Raising Hell - $10
Socom Confrontation - $1
Turok - $5

For the following games I think these are updated TIVs, I forgot to write them down. They are close, (plus or minus $2) but not necessarilly accurate as is. Either way, none of them work for T3G1F
Conan - $6
Splinter Cell: Double Agent - $6
Stuntman Ignition - $5


Conan, Splinter Cell and Stuntman, all $10 at BBV. The Darkness and Socom they wouldn't take at BBV.

^$7.50 cents for fight night 3? Never seen EB Games give out credit in cents too.

They started this a while ago...I want to say December, but I'm not sure if it was that long ago. It's when they dropped all the borderline $8 games (Alien Syndrome!) and said they would go up to $8 again after some promo, then never followed through (although I don't blame them!)

been like that for a while... esp. if you check for old sports titles

They started this a while ago...I want to say December, but I'm not sure if it was that long ago.

i'm not sure if this happened for PS3/360/Wii next-gen sports titles, but for last-gen PS2/XBOX/GCN sports games, fraction of a $1 values (even those <$1) were normal before the last-gen platforms were "phased-out" at EBG


It's when they dropped all the borderline $8 games (Alien Syndrome!) and said they would go up to $8 again after some promo, then never followed through (although I don't blame them!)

heh, AS had a good run while it lasted... they had to drop it eventually as BBV sold them for <$10 for new/used copies and it's not like it would go up in price at BBV
but compared to other cheap BBV titles, AS had $8+ TIV and lasted for much longer than i expected

It hasn't ever mattered when I've traded games in to EB. I've traded two Greatest Hits games in and they've both received the same trade-in value as their 'Regular Edition' counterparts.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Is it just me, or does it seem like it's getting increasingly difficult to find cheap games to trade-in these days? Whenever I'm at Blockbuster, Rogers or Future Shop, I take a look, but I have terrible luck these days. Almost every used game for sale at Blockbuster doesn't have a book, and the same goes for Rogers. Future Shop just has a poor selection and they're too expensive.

It's lame. I wouldn't mind doing a trade 3, get 1 free for Dirt 2 or Modern Warfare 2, or something.

some of these door crasher deals they basically let u get brand new releases for $30 if u buy copies of each of the ones that were 9.99 but trade in for 8+

1. EB Games doesn't take in XBOX 1 games
2. There is no final fantasy 5 for xbox or xbox 360. The only final fantasy on xbox is final fantasy 11 (XI) which I STRONGLY doubt they would take for 37$. If they do than man oh man the hoarding will be hard and fast.

EDIT: Called EB they don't even take in FF11 for trades since it is online only.

Also the only other final fantasy 5 available is on gameboy advanced.

These were all for the 360 and Like MJM said above it is a the store's discretion.

The biggest problem was - what to use the BBV store credit on???

Their prices on used stuff is horrible. And new stuff isn't good wither. There used to be a few games that you could buy at BBV and trade to EB to turn BBV credit into EB Edge credit, but I didn't see anything. I don't think Gears of War 1 would work any more.

i'm holding on to it hoping that BBV doesn't go bankrupt too soon.

Is it only Xbox or do they deny GC and PS2 trades as well? I am thinkin bout tradin some first party GC games for some good credit (which they apparently still give) but after you said this, I'm getting a bit skeptical.

EB Games on 07/22

I was thinking of doing T3G1 based on tivs, but came up disappointed as EB dropped couple of the prices

[alias_neo]

BBV 07/22/2009

Saints Row 2 (PS3) - $15

Went down from $35 from the last listed TIV D: I didn't trade it in cause it wasn't worth it imo but finally got around to buying SF4 preowned for a good price along with my BBV credits (yes I know it's on sale on Amazon, I'd rather use up my credits)

[mahjongmaniac]

The biggest problem was - what to use the BBV store credit on???

console accs. is the most ideal IMO.
these rarely go on sale for 20-25% off, let alone anything more than that



Their prices on used stuff is horrible. And new stuff isn't good wither.

used price for old games isn't always bad. depends on the game
it's 1 of the places where you might find old gems w/o having to pay EBG's premium prices for rare games

Traded in today at EB, all for XBOX 360:

Project Gotham Racing 4- $8
Dead or Alive 4- $7
All Pro Football 2k8- $1

traded the above towards the COD WAW CE doorcrasher. I though PGR4 was $7, when i saw the reciept i was like "WTF!!" i could've traded it in towards another game and got it bumped up. But oh well, if anything i can just trade the codwaw back to them in the future, should be above $8 tiv for quite a long time.

xbox I know they do not take.

Gamecube is YMMV, last year was the last time I traded in something (mario tennis for 19$) but haven't heard of anything since. Some of my local EBs will take them some won't.

PS2 they take but not towards t3gif (actually they don't give more than 7$ TIV on any PS2 game anymore anyways).

[Captain Snazzypants]

Quake Wars: Enemy Territory for PS3 got $12.50 today at BBV
(piece of crap...)

[Bargain Bin]

i believe they still take last-gen games, but don't expect high TIVs, even for 1st party games

well I went recently and some GC games actually got like $12 TIV, which is what I'd want to trade it in for. If anyone can call EB tmrrw for me and ask the TIVS for Pokemon XD and Zelda Collector's Edition for GC, it'd be much appreciated. I would do it myself, but I'm a bit busy with work, etc. If anyone can do that, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks. (if u can, call the woodside square location: (416) 754-3276. Thanks in advance.

My objective: try and lowering the damn $69.99 MSRP to get Uncharted 2 :).

you can still vote for neksus for the other nominations though :)

also keep in mind what chickenwing itself said previously:

It looks like this thread has been nominated for most helpful thread. :D

Since Neksus has arguably been doing all the hard work for the past year, I'm going to give the prize to him if we win :) Please vote for this thread :)
It was mighty big of the chickenwing to say that, but it's right...Neksus has done a mind blowing job keeping this thread and tivs.ca up to date, so he definitely deserves some sort of prize(s) for all that volunteer work. I hope he wins the triple crown, the grand slam, the trifecta....

DUDE I'm voting for you for all three categories lol, this thread and your site have helped me to never pay full price for games evar again!!

but PLEASE keep up the good work even after winning/being nominated!!

EDIT: you're in the lead for Most Helpful Poster and Best Thread, and tied for the lead with Deal in Best Poster! Keep it up man! Personally, I'm surprised you've kept it up for so long, but as I said before, I hope you keep it up afterwards too!!

[deezz]

Hey guys, just got back from lunch, and did a round of tiv checking :) got some good news to report!

Friday, July 24, 2009, 2:30pm:
EB Games
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 [PS3] - 14 (went up!)
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 [PS3] - 15 (went up!)
Tomb Raider: Underworld [Xbox360] - 18 (went back up!! :D)
Metal Gear Solid 4 LE - 18*

BBV
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 [PS3] - 10
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 [PS3] - 10
Tomb Raider: Underworld [Xbox360] - 18

I wanted to check Rogers too since it was in my loop, but it was packed in there. Anyone have their values yet?

* = The first EB I was at, I took the MGS4 LE out of the special box, and just brought the game in, but I didn't realize it had the "Not For Resale" thing on the back instead of the barcode, so they didn't scan it. So at the second EB I went to, I brought the full LE in, and was told that they're not taking LE's at all (said it was because they can't do anything with the extras...lol...why not just resell the whole LE which I saw used on their shelves anyway?!), but she made a "special exception" for me, and just took the game out of the big box, and gave me the 18 for it. Weird, but she was really nice (and cute). I have a friend who needs the box anyway, so he'll be happy lol.

Traded GRAW2, R6V2, and MGS4 for Modern Warfare 2. Tried to get the Prestige Edition (night vision goooggggles whaaat!), but no go. They said if I wanted that version, I'd have to use only the credit value of the sum total (47) of my games towards it. Dang. The list price for MW2-PE is 169.99. Hardened Edition (HE) is 89.99, and regular version is 69.99, Nov.10 release date.

[Psubs]

Heh, you're in the lead for all three categories.

He should win 2 of those hands down.

[neksus]

Haven't formally declared yet and I'm on my phone with not much time to type, but I'll be withdrawing from the deal thread. Sure I save people tons of money, but I don't post deals! (and Deal deserves it!)

[Eclipse09]

Seems like a lot of games are going back up

NHL 09 for ps3 and 360 were going for $4 and $7 TIVs

now they are both back up to 15 at EB

[Psubs]

Assassin's Creed going up is certainly surprising. I wonder if they're stocking up with anticipating hype for the second one would heighten demand of the first game. Silly. But EB HQ doesn't always make sense.

I'm hoping that No More Heroes goes up in TIV in anticipation of NMH2. :razz:

Hey guys, I'm thinkin bout pre-order Uncharted 2 and wonder how does the process go. When you pre-order, do you only get a receipt or do you get like a box? For example, as shown in this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsHnKjzM0C4

If anyone can help answer that, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks

P.S. Can anyone else confirm the TIV of MGS4 at $18, seems to be pretty high for a Greatest Hits game.

Not sure how the process works at Bestbuy/Futureshop/Wal-Mart...but at EB Games you get a receipt and they ask you for your name/phone number. On the release date they call you to pick it up, you show your receipt, and then you get your game.

You get a reciept. They ask yo for your phone # and your driver's license. They'll call you when to pick it up. You bring in your reciept, but my csr told me just bring in your license that's okay too. (But I go there once a week so he remembers me anyways)

Pretty sure MSG4 is $18 its been confirmed ... The only thing i'm curious is what the hell is EB headquarters thinking? They're raising the TIV for all these door crasher games ... isn't the point to clear stock/inventory or get $$ in from the extra customers? How are they doing so if they're just getting the damn games back for 'more' than they sold it for? They're getting their old stock back lol.

Or if they paid for cash ... its like $11 cash for ... 18 edge credit ... or 25 edge .. if you do T3F1F ... weird
I wish I actually picked up on some of these other's dc instead of passing them by expecting them to never go back up lol ..
tomb raider ... end war ... grrrrrr

[Sajiko]

Hahaha, I remember 5 days ago I checked MGS4 and it was $2

[corvax]

i checked out the tivs.ca and saw the ps3 of drakes fortune at eb trading in at $25. my question is that i got the game when i bought the 160gb bundle. will eb games accept this? do i get more than $25 since its still sealed?

If it's brand new and still sealed why give it to EB to sell as a new game?

Sell it on Kijiji or something and get better value!

Not sure, since it says not for resale but other's here have already said its O.K.
Sell on BST (here) or Kijiji or something ... $30-$40 but if the hassle is too much then just trade it in lol ...

Hey guys, maybe you can help me in my current predicament. RFD has inspired me to get a little creative when it comes to deals so lemme tell you what this scenario is. My main question is:

Does EB Games sell games for $19.99 that have TIVS of $8+ (useable for promo)

I know you are thinking "why is he getting $19.99 games," well, here's the scenario I'd like to do.

1) Trade in 1 next gen game and 2 GC games for $60 credit
2) Since GC games can't be used for promos, use $60 credit on three (3) $19.99 games that each have a TIV of $8+
3) Trade the those newly purchased three games in a T3G1F for a pre-order of Uncharted 2

So I guess my main question is the bolded one above. If you would even like to name a list of 3 next-gen games that are $19.99 each that would qualify, that would be great. Would I be able to play out this scenario, or am I missing something? Thanks to any contributors and hopefully this post wasn't too hard to read/understand. :razz:

surprisingly yeh, I checked up recently at my local EB, and told me that some 1st party games still retain like a $12 TIV. Even on tivs.ca, if you go to printable version, and check within this month, you'll see some $12 TIV GC games. Anyone else that can help with my situation above, thanks in advance.

i suppose if you cant find 3 games, you can always just use 60$ in credit and just make up the difference :confused: especially if you get the credit on an edge card and your not taxed, you can get pretty much any new release for 5 to 10 bones (if its a 64.99 or 69.99) or 0 extra (if its a 59.99)

[Captain Snazzypants]

Not to cross-post too much, but I just traded Uncharted on Goozex for 800 points (which you can then use to get any other games). I flipped it for COD5 within a day for just 50 points more. I got 1000 points for Motorstorm:PR which I used to get Resistance 1, Motorstorm 1 (which I miss), Assassin's Creed, and still have 350 points left over...

P.S. Protocol is in high demand and will get you 1000 points - which is the highest for any non-CE game out there, new or classic

They should be some ... try zellars too .. they got the 33% off 19.99 - 29.99 games. I've never heard of that promo though, its 1 next gen game + 2 GC games for $60 edge? Are there requirements? That's not bad lol ... not really clear on it but it seems a little confusing. I'm sure with a little legwork you can get a pre-order for $30-$50 at least easily.

Or just work another extra 2 hours instead being on RFD etc XD ... and you can proudly buy the game @ retail.

Oh sorry for making it sound confusing. By $60 credit, I just mean trade the games for what they are worth and you receieve $60 credit. Hope that clears it up. And like I wouldnt try zellers cause I would wanna use the $60 credit from EB so I could save like an extra $10 if I could just get three $19.99 games that have TIVs of $8+. Hope that cleared up any misunderstandings.

[sjp]

I have a 6 year old nephew who LOVES to play fishing games on his wii and my 360. I am assuming that's where the market is for that type of game and why games like Rapala have such a high TIV

Uncharted is is 69.99, but i didnt get the multiplayer demo code with the preorder, which I'm supposed to since it starts a month before the game comes out.

[kktoronto0711]

sorry guys new here.

but does the EB promo, trade 3 (with +8$ value) get one free work for all new games? or just select titles.

[winson82]

Did a trade 3 for Uncharted 2 yesterday:

Appollo Justice DS: $8

Prince of Persia 360: $15 I think

Castlevania Order of Ecclesia DS: $8

Uncharted is is 69.99, but i didnt get the multiplayer demo code with the preorder, which I'm supposed to since it starts a month before the game comes out.

Beta Code came with Infamous and started on June 3rd. However, it has ended already.

it dpends on each ebg store YMMV gl

shud work on most preorders tho

[Bargain Bin]

Beta Code came with Infamous and started on June 3rd. However, it has ended already.

There is going to be a new demo in early September I believe. The code should be for that, but I am not sure if any Canadian EB's have gotten the memo.

[brucedlx]

Anyone know what's the trade in value for RE5 at BBV? I'm planning to trade:

Dead or Alive 4 (XBOX 360) - $10
Mass Effect (XBOX 360) - 10$
Resident Evil 5 (PS3) - ???

For :
Blazblue: Calamity Trigger (PS3) when it comes out.

TIV for RE5 ps3 is 37$

[SomeGuyyyyyy]

BBV
All PS3
Lego star wars complete saga $10
GHWT $24

[kleptodathief]

^nice how bout wii's acdc track pack 2 game? its gonna b 5bux at ebg tomorrow

[cashinstinct]

Lesson learned: buy game days games, they will come back up soon enough. (in reasonable quantity)

Since End War was $1 TIV, I thought it would not go back to $8 +... at least I got $24 at BBV for it (after finding out how bad it is, in my opinion).

For Prince of Persia, don't know what I was thinking when I only took one!! $40 new at FS..

For Metal Gear Solid, I am surprised since it is a GH and sells new for $30...

It was the same last year, almost all $10 games went up to $8 + TIV in the next weeks/months, just be patient.

They had stock at Bloor/Royal York location in Toronto as of this afternoon. Traded in Far Cry 2 and Gears of War for a copy. Sweet deal. :)

and i dunno how they r giving $37 TIV when they r selling it for 44.99 or 49.99 new...

[mahjongmaniac]

What's really funny is apparently Far Cry 2's TIV at Rogers is now down to $6.50, but they are still honoring the deal.

shouldn't matter how TIV of the game fluctuates (or any other qualifying game for that matter)
as long as it's one of the eligible titles, TIV bumped to $35 ea.

i believe it was 1 of the $8 TIV games a while back.

[kleptodathief]

it b crazy if ebg tiv of this www legends game is STILL 37 ...

[ChopSuey]

it b crazy if ebg tiv of this www legends game is STILL 37 ...

If the game sells for $34, and the TIV is $37, just keep buying and reselling the game and keep making $3 for every trade in. :) It should work if you already have TIV credit on your account as they wouldn't charge tax for the game. Trade the game in 20 times and you can buy a new game. :)

[ballsdontlie]

July 27 TIV EB GAMES
Resistance Fall of man - $12 (ps3)
Assassin's Creed - $11 (360)
Oblivion - $11-13? Not sure.... but qualified so it did not drop(360)



And, they had no Fallout 3..

you forgot taxes. you'll be losing money actually

damn.. markville mall still has them if u wanna go lol..

some BBV TIV update:

Fallout 3 for ps3 is $30
WWE Smackdown vs raw 2007 for 360 is $10...

i just got that special edition this morning that coems with a case, extra dvd and trivia book for $10...i dont have a 360 but i liked the extras.. well atleast the small trivia book lol.. i already have the history dvd they include lol.. but heck for $1.17, the book and tin case r worth it..

edit: WWE Legends for PS3 is only $25 TIV at EB now... just called..

if u really wanna keep making TIV's and credit.. u buy fallout 3 collectors for $30, trade in just the game for $40 at EB today... $10+tax gain on each time u do that and u can keep all the collectors stuff and possibly sell that if u wanted to..

[Eclipse09]

Markville probably has about 3-5 left of the Fallout 3 CE

When i was there last week and they were showing me what were the upcoming games, the list said they have 9 copies to begin with

Also i can confirm the TIv of Bourne for 360 is about $10 stated earlier, but I was told $11

Did a trade 3 for Fallout 3 GOTY as i picked up Fallout 3 CE haha
Also have MUA2 on pre order via T3G1F

[grappos13]

sorry for the double post...

but for the wrestling fans out there.. the stuff that comes with the WWE smackdown vs raw 2007 special edition isint that great.. i thought it was gonna be better... u get the metal case, which is nice...but inside u only get small portions of the bigger items... like the WWE ultimate trivia book, all u get is a smaller version of it that only has trivia on wrestlemanias, which is just 40 pages long (compared to the real book of 320 pages).. and you only get disc 3 of the history of wwe championship dvd.. which is a 3 disc set... so its OK...

but since u can trade the game in for $10 at BBV... getting the case and those small collectors stuff is worth it for $1.17 lol

I think ebgames is just asking to get raped from trade-ins again.
They miss us after they chopped so many TIVs to $7.50 a while back :lol:

I think the proportion of us who know how to work the game deals is pretty small compared to the general population, so I don't think they worry about it too much. We'll go in and give them games that they'll be able to sell to said general population for twice what we pay for them, and they only need to give us one new game in return. And even for new games, whenever I go in to pick up a preorder or do a trade, there's always at least one or two people there just buying a game at regular used price, or regular new price, oftentimes multiple games too. Many of them are mothers buying their kids games. That's probably their whale right there...

90% of the time I walk into EB there is some mother/father helping their kid spend there allowance on some used shovelware DS game.

i actually seen a couple of kids buy some PCr game for like 79.99, COD5 i think, im like shaking my head in line lolz i was gonna say u know about the internet?

[Fox]

Haha...that's what I get for doing something out of my way!

Haha.. and here I drove all the way to Futureshop to get those TIVs, just for you.

Kidding of course - actually the guy at Futureshop did something annoying. When I asked him to check the trade in values for my games, he pulled every one of them out of the case and insepected them. He was having trouble pulling a few of them out, and was doing it in a generally clumsy way. I was really worried about him scratching them. All i wanted him to do was scan the games. It wasn't necessary to inspect them unless I actually wanted to trade them in.

Now there's a small scratch on my COD4 game that I didn't notice before. not saying it was him, but it could have beem

If I pre-order a game (t3g1f) and then change my mind, can I pre-order another one or get a GC so that I can buy something else?

Eat Lead is one of the games eligible for 2 for Madden at Rogers if you didn't know. I got Prototype today under July's special for Gears of War and Star Wars Force Unleashed. Regular trade-in values for each were about $4, but got 69.99 for them through the deal.

I traded in a whack of games today, some with interesting values.

All were at EBG.

Bionic Commando - 40 (matched Rogers most wanted)
Bioshock - 14
Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 - 37

PS3:

Mario Super Sluggers - 22
Metroid Prime 3 - 14

I was happily amazed that RB1 and GTA had gone up at this point.
