Canadian gamers have read over the details for GameStop's USA Game Days sale and wondered, "when's it gonna be my time?!" The answer is, right now and until June 22.

EB Games and GameStop stores in the Great White North are offering a slew of Xbox 360 games and bundles on the cheap--well, what they consider cheap at least. Gamers looking to pad their Xbox 360 library, or Gamerscore, should take a look at the sale as some offers are only available for a limited time throughout the month of June.

Oh, and if anyone asks you if you'd like to pre-order something, exclaim "Yes, I would!" excitedly and promptly leave the store. Totally messes with their heads.

Full listing of specials after the jump. $5 not required.

Gamestop GameDays: June 2nd

Well readers as the summer games release drought will begin in a few short weeks, Gamestop appears to be having some sort of sale to clear out some of their stock. The so-called GameDays sale will begin on June 2nd and covers about fifteen different 360 titles as well as a host of games from other platforms. The 360 titles are mostly average, but are definitely worth the prices offered by the sale. In addition, there is also a coupon that's good for and additional 10% off any titles that are part of the original sale.

List of 360 titles and the sale prices after the break.

Contents revealed for new Gears of War edition

On Sunday, we posted information regarding a new Gears of War re-release that Gamestop had a pre-order listing for. A new edition that is not only cheaper, but is said to include all previously released DLC on the disc. Though, its specific contents were unknown.

But now, a few days later, Gamestop updated the page, adding the official Gears of War re-release box art (it looks nearly identical) and posted a listing of all the the additional content that'll be included on a separate "Bonus Disc". Come June 24th, Microsoft will release a newer edition of Gears of War for $39.99 which will feature all the previously release DLC maps including Hidden Fronts, additional gamer pictures, themes, videos and GoW2 trailers as well. Check the break for a complete breakdown of what will be included in this latest release. Also, if it wasn't already obvious, if you haven't experienced GoW yet, then we feel this to be the opportune time to get all the Gears goodness you can handle in one (cheaper) box.

First glimpse of the Rock Band Stage Kit

Filed under: News, Peripherals

If you recall, this past February a new (and still unannounced) Rock Band peripheral called the Stage Kit was spotted over on Gamestop's website. Back then, we were only given images of what the light and smoke peripheral's box looked like, but it was enough to warrant Stage Kit / WALL•E / police spot light comparisons. Now, Gamestop has since updated their Stage Kit pre-order page with a new picture of the peripherals including what looks to be a 360 controller / strobe light hybrid. Gamestop also pegged the (GASP!) $100 peripheral for an August 15th release, so gather what info you can from that.

Gears of War re-release in June, cheaper and with map DLC

Posted May 25th 2008 2:00PM by Dustin Burg
Filed under: News

In an effort to milk the Gears of War teat for all its worth (mental picture), this Summer Microsoft is set to release a new edition of the original Gears of War that'll come packed with all previous released DLC and a cheaper price tag too.

According to Gamestop's pre-order listing for the title, the new edition of Gears of War will cost $39.99 and feature what we presume to be the Hidden Fronts and Discovery channel sponsored DLC. And just to make sure we're on the same page, we highly doubt this re-release will feature any of the Gears PC content seeing that Epic has made it more than clear (on numerous occasions) that bringing the content to the 360 is nigh impossible. So, if you have yet to experience curb-stomping and Locust dismemberment, we think June 24th would be the perfect time to "jump in" with chainsaws a revving.

Gamestop offers an incredibly sunburned Hulk

For comic book gamers who just gotta experience everything Hulk related and will be picking up The Incredible Hulk on June 6th, you may want to head to Gamestop for an exclusive goodie. They're the only retailer who is offering an Xbox 360 exclusive in-game red Hulk character that's so darn red that we'd almost recommend he make a doctors visit to be sure that it isn't the result of over exposure to the sun. Not that the Hulk's normally green hue is any healthier, we just get concerned when we spot anyone who resembles a cooked lobster.

Pre-order Alone in the Dark, get some free goodies and $10 off

Posted May 20th 2008 1:45PM by Dustin Burg
Filed under: Deals and Bargains

Over at Gamestop, they have a pretty solid pre-order deal for future Alone in the Dark purchasers that is a mix of money savings and free swag goodness.

If you plop down your pre-order cash before Alone in the Dark's June release, you'll not only get $10 off the game itself, but they'll also throw in a free t-shirt and a free soundtrack as well. This offer isn't good for the special edition seeing that Gamestop doesn't even have a listing for the special edition on their site, but if you're all but guaranteed to make a Alone in the Dark purchase, then this pre-order deal is a must.

Hulk screens, Gamestop gets exclusive

Posted May 5th 2008 10:00PM by Terrence Stasse
Filed under: News

The super-powered open world genre is now wide open thanks to Prototype being delayed, and The Incredible Hulk is going to be all there really is in city destruction this fall. Previous screens didn't show much else besides the Hulk himself, but these showcase the Abomination, New York and the graphics engine. Other than the screens, it was revealed that GameStop has some sort of exclusive in their package. The description on their website describes it as "Gamestop Exclusive Red Hulk" but who knows what that really means, as that description could apply to almost anything. So if you're going to buy the game from GameStop, be aware, you could be be getting everything from a skin to a sticker to an action figure.

Filed under: Deals and Bargains

One would think that all the business that GTA IV is netting them would be enough to make Gamestop happy, but no. In a promotional move that hasn't been done in a while, Gamestop is offering a buy two get one free deal on any of their used games and accessories. So any three used things you've your eyes on at your local Gamestop can now be bought with the cheapest ending up being for free. According to the promotional material Assassin's Creed and Gears are $29.95 as well, but they note that you should call ahead to find out availability. The buy two get one free deal lasts until Sunday, and the other two seem to be available until the eighth. Happy game-hunting!

Gamestop has contest for Ninja Gaiden 2 Elite 360s

Well for those who got their hopes up about purchasing a Ninja Gaiden themed Elite 360, those hopes have now been officially crushed. The previously non-existent website from the standee is now live and ready for folks to enter the contest. The "Are You a Ninja?" sweepstakes runs for a month, ending May 29th, and is only open to US residents. The grand prize is of course the Elite 360, but the runners-up get some cool swag too: a copy of the game, some rubber ninja stars, two rubber swords, and a fake ninja outfit. Wait did we say cool swag? We meant stupid swag (the game itself notwithstanding).

Anyway it's worth entering just for the chance at one of those custom 360's, even if we've gotta give Gamestop traffic for it. The sweepstakes entry form is located here, and official rules here.

GameStop's list-o-GTAIV midnight release stores

Filed under: News

If getting Grand Theft Auto IV when the clock strikes midnight on Tuesday, April 29th is of uber importance, then you'll probably have to head to either Best Buy or GameStop. And since Best Buy's midnight launches are rather minimal, that will probably leave the majority of you standing in line at GameStop. But which GameStop store should you wait at? Enter the GameStop list-o-GTAIV midnight release stores! Encapsulated in a nice, easy to read PDF is a list of U.S. GameStop stores who'll be holding GTAIV midnight releases. Also note that you'll probably require a pre-order prior to the midnight festivities. Or you could always wait an extra twelve hours and pickup a free $10 gift card at Circuit City. It's up to you though ...

From today until April 24 you can get 25% off any two used 360 games at GameStop (brick and mortar only, no online).

New GTA IV Commercial

Filed under: News, Fan stuff, Videos

The long-foreseen flood of GTA IV media has begun and soon there's going to be no way to stop it. Gamestop is even getting into the action, partnering with Rockstar to produce a commercial seemingly designed to to get prospective players to associate GTA IV (and it's collectors edition) with shopping at Gamestop. The commercial is a parody of common travel ads and features a fake celebrity giving a positive voice-over while a video with an ironically negative interpretation of his words is played behind it. The video does its job, showing off the whole vertical slice of the game and being just funny enough to remember. Except for those last seven or eight seconds, which we really just couldn't be bothered to remember.

Event: Be the first to play CoD4's Variety Map Pack

Just as they did prior to Call of Duty 4's release back in October, Activision and Gamestop are hosting a Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack preview event that'll allow gamers to be the first to play the new Variety Map Pack DLC. The bad news is that only two events are being held in all of North America, one in New York and one in San Jose. But if you live in or around those cities, then make the jump to get all the details and head over to one of the two Gamestop events tonight to play the new DLC before its April 3rd release. Also, Gamestop will be handing out free goodies, holding a few giveaways and handing out Variety Map Pack redemption tokens to the first 100 attendees at each event. So, that alone may be worth the travel.

Tomorrow night at a handful of Gamestop stores in the US, eager Call of Duty 4 gamers will get a chance to preview and play the game. Tomorrow's Call of Duty 4 First to Play event will be held at 9:00PM at Gamestop stores in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia, DC, Atlanta and Minneapolis and promises hands on play of CoD4 weeks before its November release. And be sure you're 17 years old too, because the game is rated M, so the Gamestop identification police will be patrolling the streets. Have fun at the events and be sure to make the jump for more information.
