First deal posted here. EB Games has started the Christmas season with good deals especially on their PC front. Below are several games with $4 price tag:

As a frequent observer of IsThereAnyDeal.com, I believe these games smashed their previous historical low prices.

The In-Store option is available, but buying online might be better especially in bulk as EB Games has a flat shipping rate. This means you could effectively bring the shipping fee down to ~$1.2/game.

EDIT: Might be a good idea to cross-check the game prices before buying. Some Limited Editions were reported to have better prices than their base game counterparts.

EDIT2: Reworded the info about shipping cost.

      My bad, should be fixed by now. Cheers.

  • superforever on 10/11/2017 - 12:21

    Which one worth $4?

    BTW, I think pick up in store is free, right?

    • Zephrain on 10/11/2017 - 12:24

      Depends on what your preferences are. The ones I've listed are games that probably won't reach $4 normally, making me think that they're worth it.

      Pick up at store is free but only possible if the store has one in stock.

      • superforever on 10/11/2017 - 12:27

        Thanks

        The closest store with COD in stock is 700km from me XDD.

    Cheap cause of Kevin Spacey's mug in it ;)

    Well, I've got the other campaigns on Steam, may as well play this one as well!

    Gotta love this pricing logic:

    Anno 2070: $9
    Anno 2070 Complete (including all DLC/expansion): $4

    • Zephrain on 10/11/2017 - 12:34
      +8

      That's not the only one:

      It's EB Games being EB Games, I guess. Might be a good idea to crosscheck the other pricing before buying.

      • MrZ on 10/11/2017 - 12:39

        Both of those prices are a rip off - I played it for free on Origin years ago.

          @FireRunner:

          If it matters to you, you can play BF4 for 10 game hours as a trial, which is pretty sweet.

        • MrZ on 10/11/2017 - 16:39

          @89percentauthentic:

          Wow, this is a permanent thing now?? The original 1 week free play offer was in 2014, but then it disappeared.

    Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Edition - $4. Nice!

    • FabMan on 10/11/2017 - 15:31

      Rip off because of free trial?

      • MrZ on 10/11/2017 - 16:40

        Free trial only pops up occasionally, and lasts for only 4 days.

        • FabMan on 10/11/2017 - 16:53

          Yeah, it looks pretty tasty. If you can find a local copy.

    Do PC games usually come with a DVD or do they have a download code?

    • MrZ on 10/11/2017 - 12:40

      DVD can hold about 8.5GB - most games are 40GB+ these days, requiring 4-5 discs. Blu-ray would make a lot more sense.

      • ChiefAJ on 10/11/2017 - 12:44

        Yes, technically I should have said discs, but do they have discs or download codes these days?

        • Zephrain on 10/11/2017 - 12:47
          +1

          They usually have both in a single packaging. However the discs are not really useful unless you are trying to save some bandwidth, as you still have to download the game later on.

      • [Deactivated] on 11/11/2017 - 03:01

        Because of all of those people with Blu-Ray players in their PCs? The only PC-based Blu-Ray player I have is in a ~6 year old laptop.

        I've built literally dozens of PCs since then and never installed any kind of drive.

        • MrZ on 11/11/2017 - 09:42
          -1

          People don't put in blu-ray drives because games are not coming out on blu-ray. It's kind of the same problem that existed when DVD-ROM drives came out. Games weren't being released on DVD for ages because not enough people had the drives, but people wouldn't buy the drives because nothing was coming out on DVD. Also, for some reason, blu-ray drives are still very expensive despite being available for 10 odd years. They really should be at DVD-RW prices already - $30 or less, and everyone would buy one.

    • Zephrain on 10/11/2017 - 12:42
      +3

      They do come with a DVD. But they're basically only a glorified download code. You can install some parts of the game with the disc, but you're still required to download the games in the end.

      • ChiefAJ on 10/11/2017 - 12:48
        +3

        Thanks. Felt really weird asking the question but I see I'm not the only one wondering.

    • FireRunner on 10/11/2017 - 13:17
      +2

      Basically it includes a download code which you redeem on Steam, Uplay or Origin.
      You can use the disc to install the game. Most of the time it includes a single disc which contains only part of the full game so you have to download the rest through Steam/Uplay/Origin.

      • SlappersOnly on 19/11/2017 - 17:22

        Oh? Do store bought games usually come with a steam code?

  • kasimmm on 10/11/2017 - 12:40
    +4

    A silly question here, do I need an optical drive or do they come with some sort of keys that I can redeem and download?

    • Zephrain on 10/11/2017 - 12:44
      +6

      No question is a silly question. :)

      You don't really need any optical drives for this. Modern PC games come with a disc and a download code which you can redeem on Steam (mostly) or uPlay/Origin (Ubisoft and EA games). You're still required to download the game, even if you install with the disc. This is why most physical PC games are now glorified download codes.

      • kasimmm on 10/11/2017 - 12:45

        Nice, gonna grab some. Cheers :)

      • Circly on 10/11/2017 - 17:14

        So most are one time use? Can you say give the disc to a friend so they can play as well?

        • silverrat23 on 10/11/2017 - 17:46

          One time use only. You can't give the disc to a mate (otherwise it'll be the easiest way to pirate).

        • Zephrain on 10/11/2017 - 17:47

          Yes, most of them are one time use only because they use download codes. In fact, I can't think of any well-known retail PC game that is DRM Free (apart from buying it from GOG of course). This might also be the reason why PC games are way cheaper than console games.

          So yeah, no disc swapping with friends unfortunately.

        • Circly on 10/11/2017 - 17:54

          @RichJoker:

          That sucks! It explains why there is no pre owned market for PC games and why they aren't as collectible.

        • Zephrain on 10/11/2017 - 17:57

          @Circly: That's why GOG gains a massive boost in popularity nowadays, with their DRM Free policy and all.

          On one side, obtaining less expensive PC games are easy, but the physical versions are not valuable at all.

          @FabMan: Sounds great! Never played an Anno game before but I loved Age of Empires, C&C etc.. Do you think I should also pick up XCOM + Civ 5 bundle @ $4?

          Yeah unfortunately postage pretty much kills it, but hey least its the Complete Edition!

        • FabMan on 10/11/2017 - 15:54

          @ThePriceMatchGuy:

          For $13.74 again?

          Civ 5 with the expansions is fantastic, by itself, it is lacking. Playing it knowing I was missing out on a better experience would bother me and I'd enjoy it less. XCOM is great by itself.

          You could get that bundle, enjoy XCOM now and then get the Civ 5 expansions in a Steam sale?

        • AssociatedThePriceMatchGuy @ EB Games Australia on 10/11/2017 - 15:56

          @FabMan: My local EB has a copy of the Double Pack in store so it would only end up being $4! But I get what you mean about playing the inferior version of a game.. Just knowing there is a better and complete edition would be annoying.. I may just dust off the old C&C games while I wait for my Anno 2070 Complete to arrive!

          @ThePriceMatchGuy: If it's not too late for you, bulk home delivery is where the deal's at. EB Games has a flat shipping rate if it's delivered from the same location (the way you'll know about this is the ETA date of the items in your cart). With this, I effectively brought the delivery cost to ~$1.2/game. Apparently the shipping cost increases at certain points, but I'm not really informed about it.

      Not if it uses Steam. You don't even need to install from disc, just type the key into Steam and download it.

    I just got jbhifi to price match Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. Their original price was $70, showed them the ebgames website and boom they matched it. However it only worked at the second jbhifi store I went to, while the first one said that they couldn't match it. So it really depends on the manager at the store. If you really want that good deal just visit and ask, as nearly all the eb games stores I visited were out of stock of the games I wanted. Happy hunting
