I hope this offer is for in-store as well, or else the whole canada (east) would be fighting over 8 copies of it.

 

online quantity @ 8 as of now. :smileysurprised:

[ Edited ]

I have a few of Questions for Goodwin to answer.

 

1: How long will you be running this for?

 

2: Will there be only one game per day/per sale?

 

3: What happens to customers if they show up and everything is sold out? Will there be a replacement for the rest of the day?

 

 

While I like the fact that you are offering a great gaming promo for what typically is a slow gaming sales month, I do hope you put out better titles as this was hovering at $5.00 for a while now. Not a great title to start off what should be a great promo, my opinion of course.

Great feedback!

- one day only, Wednesday Feb 8 (in-store and online)

- quantities are limited, no rainchecks

- one per customer

We are going to review how well this goes and will evaluate the next title :smileyhappy:

Hope that helps

Re: $5 Used Game Wednesday - Feb 8 only

Quick response,I really like and appreciate that. Thank you.

 

One other thing I forgot to mention which I hope helps your company.

Offering titles for more than one system would be much better for this promo simply because it gets more people into the store and like I wrote in your other thread you just never know what you'll find once you are there.

 

I think the 3 major systems would be the best, I don't think you need to post deals for the hand helds.

I really like the one per customer limit. That's a long time coming and much appreciated by many customers that won't be able to make it until later in the day. I thank you on their behalf.

 

Having the 3 titles would greatly increase traffic into the store and even if only 30% of that said traffic ends up buying something from your stores, that's still 3 times more traffic than if you had only one game.

 

Just thought I mention this, I wouldn't be much of a customer if I didn't try to help a store I like make money.

Re: $5 Used Game Wednesday - Feb 8 only

At this point, if the title up for the deal is available for more than one system, will the deal price apply to all versions of that game, or a specific system version of said game?

Re: $5 Used Game Wednesday - Feb 8 only

You are correct Juice! If the title is available on multiple platforms, they will all be at $5. Should hopefully know what title will be on next week's deal later this week!
