Not Taking advantage of exclusion deals - Part 2
Late last night I was starting to get some doubts as to whether I really wanted to get Ninja Gaiden 2. I mean it's getting a bit of criticism out there in the press as well as praise. I decided to see for myself by downloading the demo. I enjoyed what I played but I definitely felt myself agreeing with the negative points the press were talking about.
As it turned out I was unable to obtain enough of the cheap $10 non-JB-excluded games from Dick Smith. As such I am without a copy of Gaiden. Though I'm not really upset. I did manage to score a few games I've had my eye on for some time for a pretty good price. I managed to score
- Test Drive Unlimited - $20
- DiRT - $20
- Fight Night Round 3 - $20
- Need For Speed: Most Wanted - $10 (Easy 1000 Achievements :P)
Not bad loot, also considering I got them at 5% off with my discount card.
lexielab scored a copy of Lego Star Wars 2 for $20 too which isn't too bad.
I'm still considering going back to Dick Smith to pick up Need For Speed: Carbon and Burnout Revenge for $20 each. Though I'm starting to think that maybe I'll have just too many bloody racing games to play.

Taking advantage of exclusion deals - Part 1
Tonight I was browsing a regular forum I frequent and happened upon information about a pretty awesome sale at Dick Smith at the moment. A lot of games are $7-$10-$20 bucks and a few of them are at least worth a look in. Anyway the thought occurred to me that I should check out how many of these are actually available in my city and which of them weren't on JB Hifi's infamous and quickly growing Exclusion List.
I managed to find 3 games that weren't on the list and are in stock according to the Dick Smith website, Hurrah! Anyway I plan on hitting the two stores tomorrow and doing my best to trade in 3 games (that will cost me $25.60) for a brand new copy of Ninja Gaiden 2. I wasn't planning on buying the game but if I can score it for this price why the hell not I say! The exclusion list is getting larger every month and it's becoming harder and harder to find games that are cheap and aren't on the list. It's only a matter of time before doing this kind of 'scam' nigh on impossible.
Check back tomorrow for part 2 and hopefully I have good news to report back withEven if I don't managed to score Ninja Gaiden 2 I plan on getting some of the other games Dick Smith have on sale.
