Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Gamestop Promotion

[Achika]

I haven't seen this posted around, so I'll go ahead and start this:

If you put a $10 minimum deposit down on Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles you can get a free Nintendo brand Gamecube/Gameboy Advance link cable.

Of course, the $10 goes towards the final price of the game.

Nintendo is promoting this, so I don't know who else has this besides Gamestop. EB, TRU, anyone with a pre-order system might, so just check.

Btw: for those who would get free cables and get your deposit back...I'm sure they will ask for your deposit reciept & the cables back. I don't want to see 2 pages worth of Gamestop/EB/TRU/CC/Best Buy sucks threads later.

EB is doing this deal as well.

Does any body know if they are doing the "trade in 4 non sports games and get this game for free" deal?

Rumors are flying at cheapassgamer, but no one has really confirmed it.

the one by me in cleveland is. i saw the sign in a mall.

i keep thinking i should go out and buy 4 cheapo games and just trade them in. i'm sure i could find 4 games for $20. but it almost seems to good to be true.

Can someone who works at Gamestop confirm something for me? I saw the sign in the store and thought "sweet, beats the hell out of those cheapo cables I've been using for Pac Man Vs. Anyway, I reserved (and yes, with full intent of picking it up when it hits) but they didn't give me the cables. I asked about it and they said "you get the cables when you pay for and pick up the game." Is that how it goes? I just want to make sure I'm not getting swindled here.

I don't work at Gamestop, nor did I reserve the game there, but at EB they gave us the cables right away when we plunked down a $5 deposit.

Curious....I plunked down $5 for this game back in August, when it was susposed to come out last year.....wonder if I went in now and asked for the cable (at EB) what they would say.....I allready HAVE one, but like I said, I'm just curious.

I cant remember which member did this but they bought 4 cheap non-sport games and came back to the same store 5 minutes later and they wouldnt do the deal ( big surprise ) Just dont do that. I dont want to see the whole EB/ Game Stop sucks thread again :P

Did anybody else get the flyer in the mail about FF Crystal cronicals from Nintendo of America?

AFAIK, there is a discount key in the POS that allows us to mark down the price of the cable for giveaway in this promotion. We got a large number of them in a shipment, so I'm figuring that's what they're for.

I've been giving them out with reserves, and I'm 99% sure everyone else is, as well. Or at least they're supposed to.

Sounds good to me.

You should be getting them when you put down the deposit.

that is exactly what i'm afraid of. i would double check with the store first before i did anything. but i guess that doesn't make anything 100% either.

*converts this into an "EB sucks" thread*

I just went into EB and verified that they had this promotion (and they do).

I also verified that they were doing the trade 4 non sports games deal. They said yes. I then asked if there were any other exclusions besides sports games, and they said no. So I went over to CC and bought 4 cheap ps2 games ($5/$8 each). I get back to EB about 30 minutes later and apparantly the deal wasnt running anymore and the games wouldn't work anyway. I was pretty close to exploding at the guy but I held back. He said he would look into it and to get back to him on monday. If I still cant do it there will be hell to pay
