Special 3 hour sale at EB

[Dolemite]

Of course, you all know that the Friday after Thanksgiving is "Black Friday", the biggest sale day of the year. All the stores tend to have huge sales. My girlfriend just called me and told me about this ad she read- seems EB has a 'buy 2 Greatest Hits/Platinum Hits/Player's Choice games for $25' sale, from 7AM-10AM Friday morning. In addition, numerous titles are on sale for only $9.99, including games like Tenchu 3, Genma Onimusha, Vice City (PC version), Tekken 3, and more. Check it out, people. I'm not sure if this sale is happening at all EBs so you'd better give your local one a call before climbing out of bed tomorrow.

Guess I'll finally get around to picking up Final Fantasy X...

There's one thing stopping me from going there.

I've worked Black Friday, at both Best Buy and Toys R Us. I've seen the huge amount of people, the lines, all sorts of crazy stuff you could ever imagine. Now, at Best Buy, there were lines going from the registers WAAAAY to the back of the building, and people were everywhere.

EB is about 1/10 the size of Best Buy. It'll take them longer to ring up anyone, since every game is behind the glass case, and espically if they start having to worry about all the trade-in's. I shudder in fear thinking of how EB would look completely packed with people.

I'd LOVE to take advantage of this deal, but the amount of anger and hatred I'd feel for them taking so damn long to get me my games would just negate everything.

You also forgot to add they are giving 10 dollars extra trade in credit on every non sports next gen game. That's where I got the thing about the trade-in's from.

$30 mail in voucher with purchase of a GC there. Good deal.

If you're one for instant discounts, Wal-Mart will have GCs for $80.

Is there any documentation floating around? Because I'll just price match elsewhere...

Nobody price matches Black Friday, just to let you know.

Shit, how did you know that my girlfriend told me that fact too and I forgot to post it? You're amazing.

Damn straight I am.

I just can't imagine the chaos there... I'm real tempted to go check it out now, just to stand in line, trade in some games, and go home and to go to sleep.

But only two registers, and clerks having to constantly hunt for games (it takes them long enough to find a used game on a regular day as it is) leads to chaos.

It couldn't possibly be worse than the way EB smells packed with gaming nerds. Sweat glands have been replaced with pores excreting Mountain Dew and Doritos.


I was at Best Buy the other night, and I shudder at the thought of being a stocker there... HUGE stacks of TV's and other appliances. Why they didn't just keep them on the pallets, I don't know. It's going to look like shit within 15 minutes of opening, anyway.

Point. However, I plan on taking a break at work and running over. I won't mind waiting on line if I'm getting paid for it.

If it's too crazy I'll just split, however. It wouldn't really worth the $15-20 I'd be saving if I have to climb over the piled bodies of hundreds of crazed shoppers.
