OPEN LETTER TO RED FLAG DEALS MEMBERS

Dear Redflagdeals members,
I posted a reply on the forums which I didn’t think was the proper place to answer customer inquiries but since a member asked for someone from VGP to shed some light on this ongoing situation regarding our new sale games possibly being used I thought it was best too. I thought I would answer your concerns here as well in case my reply was lost in all the posts. We sell used and new product but any product we put on sale on our newsletters are all brand new unless stated otherwise. If you have purchased from our stores and have received a copy with the contents outside than yes in fact that would be our last copy. This is a measure just like other retailers use to prevent shoplifting. If our stores have another copy in the stock room you will receive the sealed one. All our Super Street Fighter 4, Demons Souls and all other games we sell for $19.99 on sale or in our bargain bins come from legitimate suppliers and are brand new. We have sold hundreds and hundreds of both titles at the new sale prices. It would be hard to have that many used rewrapped copies but if anyone has concerns with the game they received please return the item to one of our stores or website and we will replace it. We have been in business selling videogames for almost 20 years now and there is absolutely no need for us to sell used games as new. Unfortunately, in today’s big box market consumers sometimes don't trust independent companies like us. They can't believe we can have lower prices than the big stores and look for ridiculous reasons to justify our prices. It’s a shame as we have been selling videogames in Canada before Wal-Mart, Game Stop and Best Buy ever existed here. We are just trying to stay competitive in today's tough retail market place by leveraging our almost 20 years of buying power to secure special deals and pass the savings along to our customers. We are a completely trustworthy 100% Canadian owned company which 1000’s of customers worldwide can attest too and stand behind every sale we make. I hope this helps but if you still have concerns please contact our customer service department through email or by calling our North American toll free number 866-975-PLUS (7587) between Mon-Fri from 10am to 3pm Eastern Time as those would be more appropriate places to answer any of your questions. Sincerely,
Steve Fiocco
President

VGP VISITS THE SONY HOLIDAY PREVIEW EVENT

Yesterday we had the chance to visit the Sony Fall Preview Event at the downtown Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto. Inside the event hall we saw massive displays for Gran Turismo 5, Killzone 3, Little Big Planet 2, and Infamous 2 just to name a few.

Killzone 3 was fully playable in 3D, and displayed some of the best FPS graphics to date to go along with some high paced action, and all the high powered weapons we could handle. The Gran Turismo 5 area had full GT5 bucket seats, force feedback, and real gas and brake pedals to give you the full experience. Infamous 2 brought the same action packed, high energy experience we experienced last year with some updated powers and larger scale level design.

The Playstation Move was a large focus in the event room, with games like Socom 4, Lord of the Rings Aragons Quest, and the all new Time Crisis Rizing Storm just to name a few. Socom 4 made full use of the Move motion and navigation controller, with surprisingly accurate aiming and easy mobility across the level. Time Crisis got us extremely excited for this new arcade shooter to hit the shelves!

A couple sneak peeks of DJ Hero 2, Def Jam Rapstar, and RockBand 3 filled the event room with music, and watching groups of people try to rap there favourite songs in Def Jam Rapstar provided a lot of entertainment!

Overall Sony has some serious games coming to the market this Holiday and early next year!

Panasonic Entering The Console Business Again!! Say What??



Seems the folks at Panasonic of ill-fated 3DO console fame have been working on a new handheld video game console dubbed “The Jungle”. The system is designed solely around the concept of taking MMORPGs with you everywhere you go. Features include: A super high resolution display, mini HDMI port, micro USB port, a full QWERTY keyboard , 3.5mm headphone jack and possibly some sort of touch sensitive d-pad. Along with the system Panasonic will be launching a Battlestar Galactica title. With the new Nintendo 3DS on the horizon and rumours of a new PSP 2 in development seems Panasonic will have to push all the right buttons to help “The Jungle” avoid the same fate as their previous console the 3DO suffered.
