General Chat / Bastard from Tennessee stole my Rogue Leader...
« on: March 19, 2003, 08:54:43 PM »
So, in an effort to stimulate the faltering US economy, this Canadian decided to spend his hard-earned dough in the US, pouring money into the pockets of private individuals.

I've got an eBay transaction that's gone south. The seller has not responded since the initial payment request, and is no longer a registered eBay user. It's a write-off as far as eBay/Paypal are concerned. I know, it's only $20 w/ shipping ($30 Cdn), but it's the principle that matters.

Can anyone give me a hand in tracking down this number? Here's what I know.

Location: OLD HICKORY, TN
Name: Christen L Woodard, or Chris Strub
Address: 713 Garland Drive
Zip: 37138
Phone: 615-758-9381
Email: Bestdvdseller@comcast.net

I tried calling that phone number, but the person who answered denied either of the above names. I'm hoping someone in TN (or Old Hickory would be even better) can do a white pages lookup for me. Gamers unite!

It's a pretty awesome deal if you ask me.


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?

I went to the Walmart in Coquitlam/Bby today, and they had no signs of Skies of Arcadia Legends being in-store, let alone available for $39. Oh well...

Anyone interested in buying a copy for me from Ontario?

You're right on, Ian Sane. I definitely think N of Canada is lacking at this point. For example, their press release page had no information concerning the Feb 9th free game bundles leading up to the day of the promotion. Then, a few days after the 9th had passed, I noticed them posting a press release *backdated* to Feb 7th. I guess they don't care as much about keeping their fans up-to-date as N of America does.

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...

I have to agree that the movie included with the Zelda disk wasn't that impressive. I own SSX Tricky and that looks much better.

Regarding the Zelda bonus disc... my local EB (Vancouver Pacific Center) whom I pre-ordered from is claiming that the availability date of Feb 16th is valid only for the States. They are expecting their disks by tomorrow.

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

I'm going to try to get to the Walmart in Coquitlam this week to scoop that up.

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.

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.

One more I failed to mention.

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.

If there's already a thread (or another site) that someone can point me to that tracks Canadian prices, we can shut this one down. Otherwise, it would be great to start a discussion on sales that all us Canucks find up here. All the yanks are lucky as there's a huge community to check latest prices (ie Anandtech Hot deals forum, this forum, etc.), but us Canadians are left ignorant and uninformed, kinda like our military

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

... where this month you can get all Madcatz accessories for 50% off...."

Ugh, I hate having to listen to that every 10 minutes I call to see if the OOT bonus disk is in yet.

Anyway, 50% off is noting to balk at. Has anyone used a MadCatz GCN controller? Are they any good? Is it worth paying the markup for the real deal?
