ebgames/gamestop sales heads up!

[Poofta!]

so i went to check out hte local game stores during my lunch, and gamestop/ebgames is having a really cool post christmas sale, from what i remember:

fire emblem, battalion wars, geist, custom robo - gamecube - $10 each new

donkey konga + extra controller - $10 for both new

xbox 360 pro + ghost recon advance warfare + 1 year replacement plan - $400 new

madden 07 360 - $20 new if you buy the above bundle.


there are more sales, i just cant remember...

xbox 360 pro + ghost recon advance warfare + 1 year replacement plan - $400 new

I wonder if that 1 year replacement plan extends on Microsofts 1 year warranty or if it's just 1 year from purchase.

I was just at the EB around the corner from my office. Other highlights are:
Oblivion 360 used for $29.99
Fire Emblem GC new for $9.99
Battaltion Wars GC new for $9.99
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 360 for $49.99

[s1lence]

Those GC titles are awesome, I haven't hit up the previous sales on those so that is where I'm going after work today.

I almost bought Fire Emblem actually...but just couldn't justify buying something I probably won't play for more than an hour. I heard its good though.

edit: nevermind, Kejoriv beat me to it

in case anyone is curious there is a flyer on the ebgames website with deets.

i was thinking about fire emblem as well, but in the end nothing really made me want to bite.

it used to be, when I worked at gamestop that the warranty from gamestop took over when the manufacture's warranty ended, but that may have changed.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Figures. No GBA games on sale.

Screw them.

[gepeto]

I use to get excited when I hear of these eb and gamestop sales but ever since the merger the sales ads have been horrendous not really worth it, The only offer stuff that hasn't been selling and is taking up room EX: grand theft vice city whats next drake? The rest of there after christmas flyers on there website is most stuff at regular price. Why put all that stuff on there in a sales ad thats selling at regualar price Man I miss competition.

They are getting very lazy in there old bloated age. It is really dissapointing.

I guess I should get Fire Emblem now

Game Rush has had Battalion Wars for $9.99 for quite some time now. Got mine there last month.

Nope. The EB warranty would kick in a year after purchase, the VERY SECOND the Microsoft warranty expires. Same as it always has been.

I'm not aware of the warranty policy post-merger, but I can guarantee that pre-merger the EB warranty did NOT start after the manufacturer's warranty ended- it started the date of purchase.

I was a DM for EB and then the combined megalocorp known as Gamestop. I can tell you FOR SURE that the warranty starts the day your purchase is made. You can get (essentially) unlimited exchanges on broken hardware within the first 30 days if there is a legitimate problem. Your warranty should NOT be used during the normal returns/exchange period even though it starts the day of purchase. This makes sure you don't have to use your warranty the day after you buy a PS2 if you go home and it doesn't work (which is often the case).

I can answer a lot of EB/GS questions if you have em as I worked for the company on the DM level for quite a while. I'm doing much better things now--but let me know if you're curious. I'm always happy to help out other DP members.

Fire Emblem and Battalion Wars look excellent. May go check for those next paycheck.

Finally, I get to pick something up fresh and breath some new life into that old GC

[EricRyan34]

Mortal Kombat Armageddon new is also only 20 bones for both xbox and ps2, go get it!

[PDorr3]

I went there not knowing about this topic, got fire emblem and some used games. I wanted KOTOR II it was only $10 used but they had no case for the CD so I said screw it

[Kitsune Sniper]

I went there and noticed they took out some copies of Half-Life 2 Collector's Edition for $34. They weren't discounted, though, which sucked. I want the game. I don't want to pay more than $10 for a three year old game. :P

I also saw some retarded kids hand in seasons 1 through 6 of Seinfeld for... $26 bucks. >_< Good lord I almost kicked their asses then and there. Arrrrrrrrrrrgh.

Still not a bad deal. That packaging is roughly as complete as the game itself.
