Ok, I just posted this in RFD just to be fair, but to my fellow CAGers know this: I went to the Woodbine Centre EB Games and there's a new manager there who really needs to know his store's policies. He wouldn't let me do the Trade 2 + $9.99 for new releases for November cause, in his own words, "You need to do this 2 weeks in advance, preferably 3 for my store." I smelt bs here, so I went to the Rexdale EB Games and talked to the nice manager there named Jeff. I told him what happened and he was totally shocked at what happened to me. Well, I traded in my games at his store and never going back to the Woodbine one.
Ok, enough ranting, here's what I traded in and the prices I paid for them initially:
Xbox360
F.E.A.R. Files --> paid $9.99 awhile ago at BBV--> got $10/11 from EB
Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars --> got from Game Centre downtown T.O. for $14.99 --> got $8 from EB
Battlestations: Midway--> got from BBV for $9.99 sometime ago--> got $11 from EB
Nintendo Wii
Sonic Riders--> paid $14.99 at BBV --> got $11 from EB
Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix --> paid $9.99 from BBV-> got $10/11 from EB
Battalion Wars II -->paid $14.99 at BBV --> got $17 from EB
Star Trek: Conquest--> paid $9.99 at BBV--> got $7 from EB
Nintendo DS
Dragon Quest Monsters:Joker-->paid $18 at Game Centre awhile ago-->got $6 from EB
All-in-all, pre-ordered Tales of Symphonia(Wii) for my sister and her hubby, and pre-ordered Halo Wars for myself (traded in 3). As for the rest, I used as credit to pre-order Luminous Arc 2 for DS.
Becareful guys of the Woodbine one. The new manager there I guess still doesn't know all the ropes. However, this is the 2nd time that something went wrong at his store. Back in August I tried to do some trades but he wouldn't accept some of mine cause they were too old. I also smelt bs so I went to the Rexdale EB and all of them were great. I let that problem go for the first time, but since I talked to the manager of the Rexdale one, I think it's about time I contact EB's head office and tell them of my experiences. Would hate to see that guy get fired, cause apparently he needs the job, but maybe just a word or two will correct him of his mistakes.
Peace! v
