There is really not much besides the Buy 2 get 3rd free on all used stuff.

Woo-hoo full-priced games. That's worth waking up early for!

orangecrush · 11-20-08, 08:44 PM

I remember 2 years ago picking up Donkey Kong Jungle beat w/ 2 sets of bongos for $10. That was a Black Friday deal.

nodeerforamonth · 11-20-08, 09:00 PM

ok ok... let's not be racist. It's "African-American" deals.

Suprmallet · 11-20-08, 09:05 PM

Wow, that is so sad. I remember selling those Donkey Kong Jungle Beat bongos.

Looks like the Rock Band 2 deal is the only real deal... and that's assuming you don't already own it.

Looks like my twice a year trip to Gamestop to buy cheap UMD movies. Nothing else worth going for.

BravesMG · 11-20-08, 11:02 PM

Wow..... that really sucks. Other than the R6V2 360 that's apparently free.

$4 UMD movies seems like a good deal but the selection is pretty weak these days.

Dean Kousoulas · 11-20-08, 11:55 PM

I got the flyer in front of me...very shitty sales. I guess they believe the people will flock there anyways, so why bother discounting? I might check out their B2G1 free selection though.

Though to be honest, EB Games never really did decent sales on BF, at least in my 3 years working there.

PopcornTreeCt · 11-21-08, 12:27 AM

They've always had shitty sales. Pretty much everyone else has better deals.

orangecrush · 11-21-08, 09:26 AM

B2G1 is the only reason to go. If you still need to build a library of PS2 games like me, you can do very well, deal wise.

Do you have to buy something else to get it free?

What do you think?

* Buy any XBox360 Holiday Bundle console, and get Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 for free.

Yeah, I was joking, should have put a smiley in there. EB would be probably the literal last store I would ever expect to give something away.

kidflavor · 11-24-08, 10:59 AM

The fact that you can buy most of these games for a fraction of the price on eBay should continue to deter people from wasting their money on Gamestop and EB.

Outside of Midnight Club LA, the last few games I bought were off ebay, and yes they were excellent USED condition with case and booklets. All under $7 and two for .99 cents. You just can't beat that, not even on "Black" friday.

discostu1337 · 11-24-08, 11:35 AM

who expected us to have good deals?

mrglass · 11-25-08, 04:40 PM

Ten bucks off Left 4 Dead seems like an ok deal. I'm glad I was too lazy to go to the store this past weekend to pick it up, although the prospect of dealing with the Black Friday masses scares me a bit.

darkside · 11-28-08, 09:28 AM

This was my only stop today since Amazon took care of all my other shopping. I wanted to check out the $3.99 UMD movies and was surprised to see a lot of new titles that haven't appeared when they had previous $3.99 and $4.99 UMD sales.

I picked up Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Alien, Predator, Big Trouble in Little China, There's Something About Mary, Mr & Mrs Smith, Robots, Kiss of the Dragon, The Thai Warrior, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Fantastic 4 and the cheesy 66 Batman Movie. The only title I wanted that some guy grabbed the only copy of was Shallow Hal, but overall a good haul of cheap movies.

I also stood in line an hour because even on Black Friday Gamestop forces their employees to try and cross sell everything possible when they should be focused on moving the line. 90% of the people there were getting Wiis and Wii Fit as usual.

edstein · 11-28-08, 07:02 PM

Picked up 28 Days Later, Big Trouble in Little China and, Labyrinth. UMD IS NOT DEAD!!!

I still have them, 4 sets actually. We played the game for about 2 minutes and I wanted my ten bucks back.
