So, here's what I've seen that caught my eye lately (all prices CDN).
London Drugs (clearing out all GCN stock):
- authentic Nintendo controllers, $25, down from $30
- Madden 2002, SSX Tricky @ $25, down from $75
Toys R Us:
- Madden 2002, THPS 3, plus other titles @$29
Post by: eOne on February 14, 2003, 09:49:03 PM
Toys R Us:
Exclusive Bundle: one GCN console, free game (MPrime, MParty, RE0, or SFA), a 2nd official controller, and a memory card 251, all for $279.
That saves you a bit of money were you to price it all separately.

I don't know if it's only my Wal-Mart but I saw Skies of Arcadia Legends there for $39.99. OF course, I picked it up
Ummm... where is this Wal-Mart located? A Canadian Walmart??? That would be amazing considering we can't even find it on the shelves in Vancouver.

Same story at my Canadian Walmart here in Lethbridge.

QuoteIf you're looking for a Walmart in the Vancouver area, I know there's at least one at Lougheed Mall in Burnaby. There might be more too, check the phone book.

Went by Superstore tonight for groceries:
NHL 2003 $39
Eternal Darkness $49
Player's Choice games (in original packaging) - Luigi's Mansion, Pikimin, and SSB:M $49
Personally, I think that the Player's Choice price is way too high. They need to compete with the PS2 'Greatest Hits' price point which is around $25 Cdn. I usually don't buy many +$50 games to begin with, save the GOTY titles like Zelda and MP.

Baldurs Gate $ 29.99
Evolution Worlds $ 39.99
Outlaw Golf $ 29.99
Spyro $ 34.99
Defender $ 24.99
These are not found in EB. The first 3 are no longer available at this store.
I picked up Spyro last Friday, almost bought a used one the day before.

I'm getting tired of their lack of information and slow service.

It's probably better to blame Nintendo of Canada. Judging by various conversations I've had with store clerks about Nintendo release dates Nintendo of Canada pretty much keeps retailers in the dark about new releases.

Anyway, got a call from the downtown Vancouver EB last night that the Zelda bonus disk is in. I went to pick it up today at lunch. In line ahead of me was a guy that had put his name down mid-January, but hadn't put any money down. The cashier explained that the promo had changed since he put his name on the list and since he hadn't put any money down, he'd have to wait for another shipment. Don't you think someone from EB should have contacted him??? Poor guy...
Looks like all 50-or-so discs they got are accounted for...
Post by: Dark Staedtler on February 18, 2003, 06:33:33 PM
I'm hoping two or more people don't pick up theirs.

Baldur's Gate can be found at Game Centre in Toronto at Yonge & St. Charles Street. It is also the place I got Spyro for $ 34.99.
Defender is $ 24.99.

I just went and called about a dozen stores, and they are all "sold-out" for the offer!
Do any of you guys know if Nintendo will ship more copies? Or was it a limited offer? (it's only been 4 days... And they only gived big name stores like WalMart 20 copies).

There was used copy at Game Centre until I bought it. There is/was one at EB in the Eatons Centre on Friday.

have you tried EB games at the "Centre les ailes de la mode" downtown Montréal ? That's where I got mine ... But I had pre-ordered WW with 20$, wich is the requirement.
Post by: babble on February 23, 2003, 08:33:21 AM
But, I finally got a copy Yesterday, I went to "Carrefour Laval" EB and ToysRUs didn't have it (well EB had some, but they were all pre-reserved. I don't get it, let's all pre-reserve the pre-reserve offer???). Finaly, I just walked by "ComputerCenter" and they had 8 copies on the shelf! I asked the clerck if all of those were reseved and he said no!
But, the clerck there was really not informed, he didn't know what the promo was, how to bill it and finally he told me he was gonna put aside the bonus disk until my copy of zelda TWW arrived! You can all guess I said no way!
Anyhow, if anyone in the Montréal region want's a copy go to ComputerCenter in Carrefour Laval, they had 7 left as of yesterday (Saurday the 22nd).

I went to my local EB. I saw the used prices on one SMS. However, the new prices were all still regular. What province are you in?
