    If you want cheap games, get an EB Edge card (from EB Games, $5) and it gets you 10% off any used game you buy there. Half to three-quarters of my games library is used games, and they were all bought with the edge card taking off the GST and a little bit more For example, I just recently bought PGR3 for my 360. Advertised used at $19.99, I paid $19.05ish.

    And *MOST* EB used games are in good condition, and you are fully allowed to inspect the disc or cartridge before purchase and have the right of refusal. Plus, EB is usually a buck or two cheaper than most other places that sell games.

    I find that Wal-Mart and Superstore usually have the cheapest prices compared to EB, Futureshop and etc....usually a $5-10 difference

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    EB is on par with superstore on most games, and are a dedicated game reseller, hence why I will use them more than I would superstore. Don't get me wrong, superstore is a godly place for eating and living on a budget. It's just that only on a very few games have I seen a real marked price difference, plus their selection is pretty limited (at least at Country Hills)

    +1 for EB Games.

    I bought some games for my kid while I was in Connecticut a few years back.

    When I got em home both of them were shit.

    Brought then to the EB at Southcentre and explained my situation to the manager and he exchanged them on
    the spot.

    Plus, Superstore doesn't sell the collectors or special editions of any game. DMC3 SE? not at Superstore (that I'm aware of). Gears of War CE? So far only place in Calgary I know of that you can get it is EB Games. WoW: BC CE same. So there is an advantage if you're a full hardcore gamer to go through EB

    For PC games, i find that London Drugs usually has the best prices, and now that EB is giving the big F.You to PC titles, they have one of the best selections as well.

    Other than GT4 which I got at work for 10 bucks, all my games are from EB

    unless it's new, EB has alot of great titles for about 15 bucks

    But the best was that webcam one, eye toy. FS sells it for 60 buck and Superstore had it for 20. Good party game for younger kids
