For anyone else looking, I used to use this with my Sennheiser HD555s: http://m.ncix.com/products/sku/13863/1374
Works great. My friend still uses it and it's perfect for those of us on the receiving end.

yep, works good with most headphones. it even manages to clip on to the somewhat flat cable of the HD650/HD600.
There are online stores like boxeddeal where you can buy ps4 games and can use PayPal account. That's the only one I though.
What's your definition of good deal? Price range?
Idea around 650-700I guess? Could be more... I want to buy something that isn't to cheap (quality-wise). Looking for the best bang for your buck I guess.
PSP? Some crazy alternate dimension superstore you got over there. Thought I'd need a time machine to find anyone still selling those. The Superstores in Calgary dont't have these deals.
All the Wii us are the original deluxe model. I think they're old warehouse stock from who knows where.

Amazon sure was waiting until the last minute to ship out Digimon.
They haven't send me the pre-order bonus yet. Should I contact them about that?

I should just to the same. $29.99 CAD with no tax = $21.42 USD, so there's plenty of incentive to go digital up here.

Damn it! The price on Gravity Rush went up to $32.99! I thought the preorder was on until midnight PST!

And if the items don't arrive on day 1, Amazon gives me a $5 credit. Paper Jam ended up costing me $15.
But now it is hard to justify stuff like Pokken for over twice the price.
They updated the listing to remove the 30% off.
Obviously you need the shell out 6 figures for goddam ZOOLANDER.
For reference.
Damn, I knew I should've jumped on that.
Weird that the price went up like that, especially while still in the pre-order stage.
They know us Canadians are getting desperate and are beginning to pre-order from them. They know!
Thankfully I pre-ordered my copy yesterday. Whew!

Damn. It's out now since it's past midnight too - I guess there's no way to get the theme?

They also use Canada Post but they've been leaning on UPS a lot lately.
I have two packages coming today and they are both UPS.
I think there's an option where they can just deliver all the items to my designated UPS access point. I can't seem to find it on their site.

It was there for me during checkout yesterday.
I just change it to my nearest Canada Post address using their flex delivery. I don't want to deal with UPS anymore lol
I get so upset when Amazon uses UPS, they are the worst, and on the other hand my Canada Post guy is awesome.

I think I may start doing this for everything.
Worked well with Wal-Mart so far. I picked up both items on release day.

Those of you who hate UPS, do you live in an apartment?
My entire opinion on them changed when I moved to a house. Now I get really annoyed when deliveries aren't just left at my door, which UPS always does.

UPS hasn't been so bad for me and I live in an apartment. They do the knock and just leave the thing at the door which doesn't seem too safe in an apartment.
My only annoyance is when they don't try at all.

I prefer Canada Post because they can just put it in the community mailbox.
I liked UPS when I lived with my mom at her house.
Now that I moved out to an apartment a few years ago I avoid UPS if possible. they will leave the package at the front of your door in an apartment building. Too much foot traffic for that IMO. I just get everything delivered to my mom's house, since she isn't far away from me.
Yeah, I live in an apartment. I really hate to deal with UPS, DHL, FedEx or even Purolator. Canada Post is the best option for me because the building has parcel locker. I don't have to go to the post office to pick it up if I miss the delivery.

Converting it back to CAD and buying here wouldn't be much different tbh. Sometimes markups aren't even proportional to the low CAD so we'd pay slightly less if USD was brought here and converted to buy a product in CAD.
Does it matter if it is Smart TV? I think I remember seeing a 1080p TV on your price range. Let me try and look at it. I'm also in the market of 4K TVs

I don't know. LEGO games drop like bricks.
Like... Lego bricks?!
But yeah, that's true. I'll hold out hope for some backbone as it gets closer to release.
Smart would be important on a 4k since I need a way to stream 4k content but I don't care too much about it on a 1080p set since I already have a bunch of consoles that can do all that.
A friend of mine recently got this model. Good price and really good input latency for games in game mode.
Hmmm yeah, good price. I thought I was supposed to avoid IPS? I might be dreaming but I thought I read that somewhere in one of the TV threads here.

Pre-ordered both the Fightstick TE S+ and TE2+ during the Amazon pricing fiasco. Still unable to decide which one to keep. Anyone else in this predicament? If you made a choice, which did you pick? Harder decision than I thought...

Glad I managed to snag one for PS4. Was going to settle for Vita for the sake of money but $60 CAD for the PS4 version is a steal.

I canceled both because I don't need an extra stick but I'd recommend the TES+ if you aren't going to be modding the stick regularly. I have a TE2 (non-plus) and the thing is a bit awkwardly large. TES+ looks like a much nicer design.
Is it cheaper to import or buy from them? Anyone know?

General definition:
IPS = Better color, better viewing angle, slower
TN = Faster, usually cheaper
Plasma = FAST, good for gaming, but not made anymore (RIP)
Nowadays however, TV manufacturer are able to bring IPS to 120 Hz, so you should not avoid IPS. I would suggest a native 120Hz panel TV, but take a look at the following: http://www.displaylag.com/, it is a good website to verify the TV input lag.
I know I'll regret not choosing the TE2+ later and it's not really that much of a difference in price so for me the choice is easy.
Speaking of SFV, this is what my Amazon order says:
Craptacular.
They've at least kept price parity on handheld games, not so much for consoles. I wanted to wait, but I'm a bit worried now that will up the price for the Vita version.
The Asian version of games is always more expensive than ours, we still have that at least.
Cheaper. It is 56.99 use at playasia.
