23 June 10 - 16:41Various updates & Things

It's been a while since the last blog update, so here's the skinny on the latest happenings around here...

- Our Facebook Page & Twitter feed get more regular updates, if that's your thing, Follow & Like us.

- Play N Trade Richmond is now gone. No real comment on that one other than that makes 3 so far this year. (do I hear 4?)

- Brian & Ray went to E3 this year, some thoughts are posted on the Facebook page. Needless to say, there were some awesome things, some bad things, Cheap Ass Gamer knows how to throw a party, and some business was done that will mean big things for Gamedeals in the near future.

- Retron 3 (NES/SNES/GEN) consoles (as well as SNES Controllers & other things we've been in need of) have been ordered and will be here in the next few days.

- The Gamedeals Van is for sale. It's got issues (currently not running) but it should be a minor fix and once fixed it is an awesome van to drive. Email me if interested, asking price is in the $1000 range or best offer (1993 GMC Safari). Needs to be gone by first week of July (insurance expires).

- The HST kicks in on July 1st. This will have absolutely no impact on our regular in-store customers as the tax has always been 12%, but our online customers that are out-of-province will see a jump from 5% GST to 12% HST. If you want to "Beat the HST" (the new buzz words of the season) then order before the end of the month.

- I'm not sure how many of you noticed, but we did some major price drops across the board on current gen systems. Most common games for PSP, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, PS3 & Nintendo Wii are now priced at $9.95. Some of the better & more recent titles are still a bit higher, but overall about 90% of the stuff dropped in price (as well as systems).

- We're looking to get a big TV for our game room to run regular tournaments on (as the little TV doesn't cut it). If anyone's got any connections to get us a deal, please let us know.

- Our DVD section has grown and we are adding more DVD's all the time. They are all in good condition (no scratched up crap here) and only $5 each.

That's all for now.
