Question?:

Say I go into EB Games today/tommorow to pick up a couple used games and I dont open them. If they have a boxing week sale on used games can I return them and immediately buy them back at the promo pricing?

IIRC they don't do returns around that time. I'm not sure though.

My Lionheart edition of legend of heroes arrived just now


I'm digging the box, its all silver and nice looking. But for the love of god why do they keep sending these things in bubble wrap envelopes. Regular cases I can understand, but not a box like this.
 
I contacted Best Buy and they said that they're not too sure if a photo of the receipt would be enough to pricematch. What's your guys' experience of pricematching with receipt photos?
 
You'll have a hard time as it's a photo of a receipt and x.94 usually means Clearance which they might recognize.

Superstore Clearances are usually pretty YMMV.
 
The Witcher 3 is most definitely worth it.

Both games are worth it at that price IMO

are we no longer embracing the tank

witcher 3 is fine if you haven't played the others, worst case scenario wiki the story just for some context. I'd get that for sure.

Thanks guys

Think I will pick up Witcher 3 for sure. Want to do more research on Arkham Knight though.

Also illmatic:
Fuck the tank. We Nylander Now. lol

Where is this deal again and for how long?

BB and Wal-Mart for Boxing Week
 
I got the last one. I recommend rushing to your local RCSS to see if there are any left

VITA 1000S ARE ON CLEARANCE but there were none left so I can't price check that
P.S. Major YMMV
RCSS clearance/blowout prices are dependent on store, even for ones in the same district.

Wouldn't hurt to check if you're in the area and/or have time though. Good Luck!
 
I bought the gift card and used it on an order, but I still have the order number so it should still go through right? Maybe I should contact Best Buy and clarify with them
Did you end up calling? Probably best to ask them personally if you're concerned.

I assume they'll process as a normal order though, unless something goes wrong with the actual game release.
Sorry this is so late
 
I just wanted to say I picked up Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition last month and it is totally worth it for anyone who liked Uncharted and has an XB1/PS4/PC or even 360/PS3 and liked the Uncharted series. I think they might even have done Uncharted better than Naughty Dog. It's definitely better than UC1 and UC3 at any rate and I'm really glad I got it.

Think it goes for $19.99 now and was $12.99 on Black Friday. Might be that price again for Boxing Day? IF not, well worth $20.

That and it's a crapshoot whether they even entered it properly into their system. I've gotten used to taking photos of prices on the shelf because half the time they ring in incorrectly.

So that it isn't off topic, Tomb Raider is the $9 USD tier on Humble Bundle! https://www.humblebundle.com/

But doesn't that mean that you get things free because of SCOP?
 
I bought it on PS3 2 years ago and the copy is still sealed (yes I was that dumb ...)

Worth it to buy it again on PC for the better graphics + DLC (If there are any) ?

The DLC is one tomb you can do with your eyes closed and multiplayer unlocks. If you can find the vanilla for cheaper (routinely goes for ~$5), get that.
 
How nice. Mailman tried twice to send me my package of Cold Steel from Best Buy. didn't leave a slip. Had to wait for the call line to find out the address they shipped it. Can't get it until tomorrow.

To be honest, this is the 1st time I've seen Canada Post fuck up for me, for all the time I've pre-ordered my Best buy games. Oh well. Still playing Etrian Odyessy 2

I just saw its on sale for $6.50 or something on Steam. The better graphics are probably worth it. It's a pretty game!
 
Uhhhhhh does anyone here dealt with eb late preoreders.

I feel a bit shafted for placing an order that is supposed to make sure I get something on release day.

Does best buy do the same pre-orders too where all the process of ordering and pickup are in store? I'm never pre-ordering from eb again after this. The more I think about it the more salty I become
 
Dang. I just got my $12 PS4 copy of Tomb Raider yesterday and something compelled me to actually crack it open and play it.

You pre-ordered something off of EB instore and it's late? That's a new one to me. The only thing I can think of is that they accidentally took in more orders than they had copies? But their system must notify them that they've reached their cap.

I think Best Buy lets your pre-order in store but I'm not sure if everything that's pre-orderable on their site is eligible. In their games sections they have physical cards with the name of the game on it that you take up to the counter to pre-order.
 
Well, I forgot that I ordered an additional copy of trails of cold steel from eb games. Does anyone know if I can just return it to the store, even just for store credit?

I ended up driving down to the depot in my city, and they were the ones who had the authority or knowledge to make the call to the driver who stopped by my box. The driver went back to my community box and, sure enough, they had just put the key in the wrong box. Problem solved!

Try your local depot if possible, they were a lot more helpful overall!

I'm assuming that's what happened... well, hoping anyway. Hopefully, whoever has it returns it.

I went to the post office to see if there was anything but the old lady behind the counter was literally senile and knew nothing. She kep saying, "I don't know. I'm just part time." I'm going to call in tomorrow when the boss is in charge and see if she can contact the driver.

Thanks for the head's up. More to add to the round-up.
 
I'm trying to get a PSTV with 4-16GB memory, I checked RCSS and the PSTVs were priced 49.99

=(

I'm only going to play stuff like TOH, Danganronpa, Zero Time Dilemma.

I just missed the TOH sale so I'm in no rush. Summer 2016 is the deadline.

Wow thanks for the reply! I actually forgot to call and ask them but I'm going tomorrow to exchange my xenoblade copy so I can ask then. I have a feeling the gift cards will still be usable at Best Buy though

Best of luck, I know first hand that it's really fucking frustrating so I hope everything works out for you.
