Last night I was looking up a bunch of 360 games on the EB site and found a bunch I wanted. All of them are preowned.
If I order them, will them come CIB? I want to know this because ok very picky when it comes to my gaming.

Nope, no guarantee. I thought a while ago, Gamestop made that a rule that they would include everything, but that seems to have gone away.

Why does EB/GameStop price the games missing covers and manuals the same as the used games CIB?

How much of a discount does the edge card give?

Probably because they figure most people don't care about condition.

Because GameStop/EB does not care about completeness like collectors do; they cater to the lowest common denominator, who typically only want the game disc or cart. Solution: Don't buy from them if that's an issue for you. This isn't anything new either, it's been that way for the past decade plus.

That was for next-gen systems only. And you're right, it's gone by the wayside now.

I wouldn't buy used games from Gamestop. They're over priced and in disgusting condition...scratched discs, missing manuals, destroyed manuals, gooey and sticky cases etc...

I guess I'll pass.

Does anyone recommend any sites with cheap or free shipping?

I see you're from Wayne Gretzky's hometown? Try Microplay or Cash Converters...tons of cheap used games.

This town sucks balls big time lol. Cash and microplay suck here. Cash converters over charges and microplay got nothing but sport games and jizzed up dirty games.

I'm trying to find copies of halo wars, c&c 3 and kanes wrath.

How long have you lived in Brantford? Do you not get out? There are TWO in Brantford.

300 King George Road
84 Lynden Road in the mall

This information is easily found on their website.

Try Kijiji or craigslist.

There's a copy of Halo Wars in Brantford right now, it's half of what EB Games wants for it.

I might just send that guy a message. I usually don't bother with kijiji up here. The only things I ever see on there are old 360s and copies mw3.

I wouldn't buy them sight unseen from their online store, but buying them in person so you can see the condition before you buy really negates these concerns. If it's disgusting, don't buy it. Sometimes you can get really lucky, I got one game that looks so pristine, I think someone must have opened the case, then just sold it to GS without ever even touching the disc or manual.

As for overpriced, that's why you wait for a b2g1 sale or other promotions.
