Thought this might be a good idea for a new catch all thread, especially with Black Friday coming up. List any good deals, promos, contests, yada yada. I'll start with an unbelievably nuts offer for Canada only. I've confirmed with my friend who works for Xbox Canada...and yes this is 100% real.

Across Canada from tomorrow through to the end of Sunday (Nov 9-11) at all BestBuys and Future Shops...trade in any game. I mean, ANY. GAME. for the PS3 or Xbox 360...as long as it's complete with manual and case and not scratched to hell. Doesn't matter if it's a $5 game.

And get a free copy of COD Ghosts, Battlefield 4, or Assassins Creed IV. (http://community.futureshop.ca/t5/Gaming-Announcements/Trade-In-Offer-November-9-11/td-p/462113)

Haha I've been following the threads on this at Futureshop and Redflagdeals.

Apparently tons of stores are selling out already because of people reserving copies WHICH IS FUCKING BULLSHIT WITH A PROMO OF THIS SCALE.

EDIT: I think they cut off the reservations, which is good.

Man i can't even imagine what the line ups are going to look like tomorrow.

I need to try and get rid of my copies of MAG or SOCOM Confrontation... the server support for them is being turned off next year so they'll be useless.

Also good idea on creating a thread like this!

I went to the EB Games website (our GameStop) and searched for the cheapest games they had, and you can get some NEW 360 games for 49 cents. Imagine how awesome that'd be to just stroll in with a copy of fuckin' Cabela's Big Game Hunter and be like 'BF4 please.' hahaha

LMFAO!

Clever but a gamble if there were no copies left and you're stuck with a shit game, at least it'd only set you back a couple quarters though, worth the risk!

Great deal but of no use to me as I won't be fortunate to get a copy of anything even if I do manage to have that sale here.

Long ass morning....

I just got back with all of the games available with the Futureshop/Best Buy trade-in offer.

Saved $180 and some tax, fucking WIN.

Not bad for me either, I'm still at work so got my friend to go and get them all for me as well. Technically I just got paid to get free games lol.

I was about to head out the door when I read your tweet about people lined up for 5 hours at Best Buy in Metrotown, looked up the nearest Futureshop and sure enough people were still spilling out the doors at 6pm tonight. Maybe there'll still be a few copies of BF4 and less people there tomorrow haha

Pretty awesome deal, i wish i didn't already have Peace Walker as i would have totally jumped on that.

I have all the other games already except How to Survive but i don't really have much interest in that anyways.

I never participate in Black Friday but I will this year. For those interested in possibly getting an Xbox One like I am, Target has an amazing deal for Black Friday. It includes the Xbox One unit, AC Black Flag, AC Unity and a $50 gift card for $330.

I've got a deal for you ETSers (and a shameless plug), my friend gave me Assassin's Creed codes from the Xbox One bundle. If anyone here wants the IV: Black Flag code for $20.00 USD let me know, please.

No bother, I'd paypal ya like $5-$10 for one, but obviously if you got PM's for $20 for all the codes I wouldn't lose sleep. It'd just be for me to kill time and they're going for $15 on my local Craigslist haha.
