Any video game sales?

[Jelliebean]

Places in the US have some decent sales. Like BOGO 50 off or Buy 2 get 1 free...

anything comparable in Canada? I'd love to get some kinect games for Xmas, but I'm so not paying $50 or $60 for 1 game.

If it's a current game, I think you are stuck paying nearly full-price until at least Boxing Day. There are a few ways to maximize your savings, however:

ToysRUs has promos on buy one get $5 off or buy two get $15 off right now.

Wait for a No-Tax event at Superstore, in SK, it's like getting 10% off.

Use your SDM points to redeem for games - they have a surprisingly good selection.

If you have any BestBuy RewardZone points, use them for games, or use the card to get points when you buy the games.

You can trade-in older games for newer ones, but you won't be getting the best deal doing this.

I find that EB Games and the like charge quite a bit for used games, but they are a bit cheaper than buying new.

If you have a rewards card that will let you get gift certificates to stores that have games, that would be a good way of using your points.

These are not huge savings, but just some ideas for lowering your out-of-pocket expenses. Best of luck shopping!

Well...I think I can wait until boxing day then! Thanks for all the great info! All the games are newer releases! I just wish we got some of the US deals that they get! :o

Rogers plus is having a sale. I think about 80% of their stores are closing so you better check every day/week. They're having major sales on DVDs and games.

I think they're going to start off with bogo, then bog2, then bog3, then finally bog4. But if you wait till bog4, it will be mostly crappy games.

Also, EB is having their deal of the day. You should check their website everyday to see what game they're having on sale.

Here' a sneak-peak that I found on another site:

It was $20.00 a few days ago for EBGAMES Daily Doorcrasher deal. I thought you seen it in my EB GAMES DAILY DOORCRASHER thread?
RCSS also has 50% off newer Kinect games but people are saying that supplies moved fast.
