raymacfla Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 EBgames is now just a gamestop puppet(MERGER). Gone are the PC game deals of the past, especially the used ones. DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH FROM THESE GUYS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darianwiccan Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Yeah, so far the EBGames sale seems rather (if not incredibly) pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diecastbeatdown Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Beating a dead horse here, just wanted to drive the last nail in the coffin. The only saving grace to EBGames' BF would be they might have some PS3/Wii units on hand for the event, and for those who missed out on pre-order it may be wise to check it out. Wii not so much, but PS3 definitely (assuming of course that it ships by then). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrodgers169 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I couldn't even tell it was really a BF Sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRISTY17FAN Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 those are the regular prices for the ds games in my area ..no big deal!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcknight_collee Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Thats not a BF sale it is almost all the same price as it is now the only thing that I saw was that you could get a stratery guide for $2.00 off with the game purchase. I want to see the walmart sale!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairydustcrissy Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Yeah, i guess since the merger the sales are gone That stinks. Well, i hope it bites them in the a$$ (speaking as a wife of a former EB manager ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaisyPug Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Thank you! I've been waiting and waiting for EB's black friday sale. I've been saving my money just so I can buy hordes of video games at whichever stores have the best deals. I was really looking foward to EB's, but some of those games look full priced! But is that all of it? I saw 2 PS2 games and 3 X-Box games, all of the rest are by Nintendo. But, I will pick up Metroid DS and Super Mario DS My search for Nintendogs continues...

raymacfla Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 All of what made EBgames great was lost in the merger. the whole gamestop mentality was downloaded into EBgames brain-housing group. I am hoping that Best Buy goes ahead with their plans to sell used games next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msl94 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I really don't mind saying this, but the BF sale items for EB Games is an absolute joke. In years past, they have doorbuster-type deals until noon, but that's not even mentioned. I guess if they have anything in the works, such as a Buy 2 Get 1 Free used game sale, that might salvage the day. As far as PS3/Wii systems, you're better off looking on eBay, because both EB and Gamestop won't have any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christinac Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Nintendo WII preorder this evening... but has to be ordered in a bundle for 694!! I think I would try for a ps3 if I was looking to spend that much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyPug Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 The ad scan is now up, incase anyone hasn't noticed.They will indeed have buy 2 get one free on all used games and DVD movies (which means I get a free game! ). A free T shirt with the purchase of 2 new DS games. Does anyone know what that cut-off sticker next to the DS lites says? Looks like a free skin, or maybe a case, with the purchase of a DS lite. Now I just have to call and find out when they open! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyPug Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Well the ad scan looks cut-off, so I looked it up on another site. Apparently there's a LOT more to the ad than what's listed here, and in the ad scan. Just wanted to let y'all know. I saw bundles too, for gamecube, DS, PSP, PS2, and X-Box 360. Of course, I can't guarantee the authenticity of their list But I strongly doubt that they would have so many Nintendo games, and only 2 or 3 Sony and Microsoft games for their sale.

left210 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Does anyone know if on the Buy 2 get one free games if that includes PSP games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyPug Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Does anyone know if on the Buy 2 get one free games if that includes PSP games.It's for ALL used games and dvds.You can go to EB/Gamestop's website and use their store locater on each video game page. It'll tell you if they have that particular game in stock, and at which store. As long as it's used, you can buy 2 and get 1 free.But keep in mind that the website doesn't list very many used-newer games, or games for the DS and PSP.Like the website only lists 2 used DS games, but when I went to my nearest EB I found around 20 used DS games.So it's worth visiting the store you plan on going to before-hand, so you'll know what they'll have in stock. And make a list of other games you would like to have incase they don't have the one you're looking for.It's not worth only buying 1 game and leaving, if buying just one more will get you a free game I'm pretty sure the buy 2 used games get 1 free deal is going on right now at EB, so if the PSP games you want aren't on sale on Black Friday you can go pick them up now.

ryleeblack Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 The sale doesn't look that great. I guess no new games for me. Oh, well - that means more savings will go toward a laptop this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
