How much was MGSV?

It was 54. They had most copies at 74 and a few at 60. They had tons of copies throughout the store and those three different prices at different parts of the store. But the tags all said MGSV so they gave me the 20 buck discount.

Maybe there was a sale and they forgot to remove the tag, the copy I bought was the only one with the wrong tag so maybe they forgot to change it. It was weird that there were some 60 dollar copies too.

 

[BadWolf]

That's probably the best deal this BF especially since you are not paying any taxes on it.

Marked my calender ^_^

 

[doctorcdcs]

Tell them to hit f8? Or mention the 40% off clearance.

I mentioned it twice, still nothing.

I saw that too but I'm waiting for cheaper. It's $50 at Shoppers BTW and ends tonight.

Stupid staff then. Sometimes you have to be firm or speak to manager. I had to be firm when I tried to PM a****'s on Friday (b2g1 sale).

 

[firehawk12]

Still no Fates??

 

[PumpkinSpice]

Still no Fates??

Not on BestBuy or Amazon.

I got an all clear from my wife on buying it. Is there any way to set an alert when it goes up somewhere?

 

[c-murph]

Still no Fates??

Nope... Better come up tomorrow as I have no life and can sit around all day waiting for it.

 

[Hero of Legend]

I checked my receipt and Miku was 34.95 so that was discontinued. But I got the discount on Saturday....

They say they're discounted anyway but they can be discounted even further with the 40% off deal. Bring back the receipt and ask them to refund the difference.

 

[Sora_N]

Oh man. Anyone know a SDM in Vancouver that has them?

I worked at the Yaletown store until 7-8 months ago, there could be 2-3 left. Call and ask for one of the store managers though, if it's not up front then only the manager can check the electronics room.

 

[Jotamide]

Is it just me or are we actually seeing decent deals lately?

 

[ACiD]

The Shoppers near me does not carry games, thanks though. I remember hearing that they had a crazy sale last year or so with Diablo III on PS4 for 20 bucks or something like that, so I rushed out to find a copy but none of the shoppers I went to even had games.

That sucks, most of the ones around Vancouver area do actually. Just the selection super varies lol.

I remember the D3 deal, by the time I got to work (2-3 days after it was first discovered) they were long gone and I was kind of annoyed.

Something strange happened with my Mobile Data with Fido. My Android Data usage feature is always (after 2 years) accurate within 2 Mb from the data consumption seen in the Fido app. I only have 300 Mb so I am VERY careful with how I spend my data. Yesterday morning Fido texted me to say that I was at 90% of my data usage (293 Mb) while my Android Data usage sits at 118 (which makes sense considering my usage). I even looked at the Wireless data consumed in the last 2 days ans it's very low.

So, I have a 175 Mb discrepancy between what my phone says and what Fido says. I have to turn off Mobile Data for the next 2 weeks... And I am now paranoid that the same thing could happen in December. The worse part is that even if I will be able to see on which day the data spike occurred once I receive my new bill, I won't be able to know where it's from. I also heard that Fido doesn't give a shit about that kind of thing and always blame your phone... Ever happened to anyone else? :/

Install one of those data tracking apps that can tell you which specific apps are using data. I recall one app that could actually shut down your data if you reach a point.

FYI same thing happened to me a couple years ago. Turns out my mail app had an email with a bunch of photos attached and was "stuck" in the outbox. Essentially the email was too large to be acceptable to the server, so it kept being sent - then rejected - and my mail app then would automatically try to resend it! 12hours used up an entire month of data.

So, I bit the bullet today and took advantage of the deal at Shopper's Drug Mart. Bought a PS4 Battlefront bundle and got the $100 gift card that I'll use for games in the future. Heck of a deal!

Pretty pumped to finally have a PS4! It'll go great with my Wii U. Now if only Battlefront would download faster...

 

[Gotdatmoney]

I'm a little clueless. What does RCS stand for?

Yup. Dying Light for $15 was fantastic from the Best Buy clearance. Lowest its been on Steam is $30

Should have SCOP'd them. Could have got it for $44!

Yeah, my SDM had a few $50 PS4 games, Uncharted Collections was one... Almost bit.

The closest one to me is in Simcoe

Android now offers such an app right in the setting, telling you which app uses what and when. However, there is nothing to be found for the data spike I got. Could their app be flawed and I would be better to use an external one on top of it just to be sure?

 

[Mechakira]

Thanks for pointing out that 3DS Best Buy deal, managed to get both Etrian Odyssey Untold 2 and The Legend of Legacy for the discount price (~50$ total for both). For anyone in Vancouver, the Richmond Best Buy had one copy of the Legend of Legacy super-launch-edition left, got their last copy of EOU2 though.

 

[Gravidee]

So, the RCS deals aren't until the 27th and 28th, correct?

Fido has issues of data leakage, where it seems you consume more data than you actually should. They don't seem to admit it and it's weird since they use the same network as Rogers, but apparently it is a thing.

 

[firehawk12]

Hrm, anyone know if SCEA games go up in price later on? I'm thinking of the Bloodborne DLC, but the only reason I would buy it now is because I'm afraid it will go up to 30 dollars in a few days.

 

[wmlk]

I took the plunge and got a New 3DS. This will last me for a while.

Anyone want to recommend a few games that'll last me for a good bit? I'm wondering if AC: New Leaf is still a fun time now that it's been a while since its release.

[Sajjaja]

Hoping to snag a PS4 from Black Friday. I really don't want the Uncharted collection as I have all 3 on PS3 already. But atleast it has some resale value.

GoW III and those other games are $19.99.


Looks like Wal-Mart has the best Xbox One deal. $350 for the Gears bundle and Forza 6. So far it is looking like that and Final Fantasy Type-0 HD for $20 for me.

You're right, fixed!

 

[Ondore]

Wait, they matched the US price for the Smash Splat bundle? I'm shocked, quite frankly.

And I just won a bet on $20 Type 0 HD.

 

[KnightHart]

Oh god damn it I guess I'll be getting Guitar Hero Live this weekend

 

[FrsDvl]

I might jump on the handsome collection. Is it a decent port?

 

[opticalmace]

Hmm, kind of tempting. I'm a little worried about the reliability of the guitar though, some gaffers had some issues.

 

[kevin1025]

I might jump on the handsome collection. Is it a decent port?

They are very good ports. They had some issues at first but they have all (mostly) been ironed out. Just some framerate issues with split screen still, though that may have also been fixed since I last checked!

 

[Black Republican]

Anyone know if the new black 3.5mm xbox pads have improved bumper buttons like the covert pad?

Good to hear, been tempted to buy it a feq times now, but hard to say no at that price.

Yes they do.

 

[jred2k]

Might finally bite on Dying Light at $30.

 

[opticalmace]

$20 bloodborne sounds nice too.

 

[mdubs]

No Until Dawn? Man

 

[Black Republican]

Looks like the BB flyer also selling the 2TB external hdd for 89.99, useful for ps4 users who want to strip out the hdd from the casing for the console

Good to hear, been tempted to buy it a feq times now, but hard to say no at that price.



Yes they do.

yesh, gonna wait for that then thanks
i know its a black friday sale but i wonder if i can use my $25 e-certificate on the reduced xb1 pad

 

[kevin1025]

No Until Dawn? Man

You might have luck with the PSN Black Friday sale, if you're interested in digital. I hope they put up the deals before Friday, though, in case there's some things a little cheaper (and with no taxes). Seeing better deals at 3pm (when the store updates) after getting some things from retail would be a bummer.

 

[Black Republican]

Witcher 3 has been out since May? and its only $40 for BF? shame

 

[Sajjaja]

More shameful you haven't bought it yet ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Tapejara]

Man those are some awful sales. Expected, but still awful. Might end up grabbing Elder Scrolls Online though.

 

[Firestorm]

I think I'll bite on the Logitech G502 for $59.99. I've had my MX518 since 2008 and it's getting kinda gross... Lowest I've seen it at in Canada by around $10 =/

 

[Black Republican]

does sony usually do early black friday sales for psn?

 

[ViP space]

I picked up a PS4 at Shoppers (Uncharted Collection Bundle), redeemed my Optimum points and used a couple gift cards and paid a total of $47. And I got the $100 gift card too!

 

[Tagg9]

I don't think so.
