They never had stock. Probably never going to at this rate.

If you're in Ottawa then let me know if you're interested in a $400 Uncharted Collection PS4 bundle (500GB). Walmart Boxing Day deal and I just haven't gone to return it yet. Box has a little ripped flap from shipping. Destiny/Taken King has routinely been on sale, so this could be worthwhile depending on convenience.
Considering I don't think I've ever seen a vita game not be at price parity I think it's the right price.
Orders never officially went live in the first place.

Hey thanks, Jamaal, but I'm not in Ottawa and won't be visiting for at least a couple months. Thanks for the offer all the same. You're right about the Taken King being on sale, I definitely don't need a bundle but Uncharted Collection + Taken King seems worth the ~79 bux

Minor deal but Dying Light Enhanced Edition is $59.99 for preorder on the PSN store vs $69.99 everywhere else (including the Xbox digital store).
The Elite
BOSS
Sony has been doing it a lot lately. Grace Chen loves us.
Taken King is $50 on amazon.ca by itself. That's not a deal.
Look around and decide with bundled games you want and get that system.
Amazon and Bestbuy have a God of War III bundled in free with any 500gb PS4 and you can get The Last of Us Remastered bundled free with the Uncharted collection bundle at Walmart.
The only other option would be wait and see if RCSS does a tax free event or do a 20x point thing at shoppers or something.
P.S. Alley Cat is one of my favorite DOS games.
...
I suppose I'll have to import from the US.
I hate having to import from the US, especially in the current financial climate.
Nothing wrong in waiting it out for a week or two. I'm sure Amazon US will still have stock by then, at least I hope so. Not like after market sellers will buy up all the stock to artificially raise the price.
EDIT:
FREE SWAG DEAL!!!
I was at EB Games Queen and Spadina (TORONTO) today to get my Mew DLC code. They packaged it with a Halo Master Chief mega Blocks Figure and a Limited Addition Assassins Creed Syndicate coin (10,000 officially made). I think they're the only location to doing it. The others I went to only gave out the code.

Quebec hater!
:-(
Amazon doesn't seem to care about that language crap so something else happened to screw us.
What??!?!? Noooo, I was trying to decide where to go and I ended up going to the one across eaton center (they only gave out the card). Oh well.
I'm sure they still have some left. Call in and ask.
Anyone have an extra card? I want mew
Are locations fresh out where you are?
At work I can't go get one
Unfortunately I'm at work right now, I'll probably try tomorrow evening if ever. Hopefully they still have some.
This going to be me tomorrow.
lol what the heck
that's pretty cool. downtown is bit far to go for some trinkets tho. Dx
Well the soundtrack's a Gamestop preorder bonus exclusive in the US. EB hasn't said anything.

The original mini-game game! So good.
There's a nice article with links to more here about the all too short life of Bill Williams (guy who made Alleycat) http://www.electrondance.com/stanley-kubrick-is-gone/
Thanks for the advice!
Welp... Well I just bought a 50" TV lol...
That thing is huuuuuuge hahaha
I still need to build the tv bench before I can plug it in but can't wait!

Not accomplishing much since this place is overwhelmingly American. Plenty of "fuck you, got mine" going on there.
Sure would be nice if North America meant more than just United States though.
Saw some "entitled"s thrown around in there too. This place sometimes..
LOL that's true, neogaf, reddit, and most big video game forums are predominantly americans. The OP there won't get the support that he's looking for since there's no motivation for most of the users since it's not affecting them. Social media will probably work a lot better. I'm predicting that the thread will end up as digital vs physical lol.
It probably just wasn't a viable option for them based on projected sales. Sure it sucks but can you really blame a company for not wanting to put out a product that might not even match production costs?
¯\_(ツ
_/¯ I tried. Don't see how it's entitled to want a physical copy being released stateside released here as well.I know, but I don't want this to be a precedent. It's frustrating.
Yet Australia will have a physical copy. Good thing I'm not really planning to buy this game. I might had been frustrated as well.
Those were probably handled by SCEE.
What I'm guessing that sony thought that Australians are used to paying a lot while Canadians are still getting used to paying the current game prices and most people here are decreasing the amount of games that they are buying because of the increasing price of games due to the weak dollar. lol

So I had to ask Amazon for a Digimon pre-order code. They said the marketing department should email me within 24 hours. But in the chat at the end, the CSR said this:
"Amazon: You too have a nice night day."
He was a bit confused.
"Amazon: You too have a nice night day."
He was a bit confused.
He was probably tired and maybe English was not his first language. I once worked a Customer Service job and it's really tiresome. Add to the fact it's online and people start to have even less filters and openly insult you and the service and you get the picture.
This is an old quote, but how is this site? Legit? I've never used it
It's legit in the sense that they provide working keys and all. They're just not an authorized seller of keys, if you care about that.
I have the 43" version of that TV and it's awesome. Kinda wish I got the bigger version but either way it's probably the first Smart TV I actually like.

Yeah, I understand. I just thought it was funny since I told him to have a nice day, and he might've not known what time it was where I lived.
I've bought Mad Max and Dragons Dogma from them no problems.

The people in this thread are out of their minds, I don't understand why they are so rude to all the Canadians wanting equality on the physical. Their only points are:
- You can get it digitally;
- There are 1/10 of the population in Canada;
- Just import, it's 20$ more!
That does not stop any other game from being released here...
I honestly felt in a reddit /r/gaming thread...
Yeah. I mean it's getting released on small market countries. LOL at people saying that they didn't release a physical copy because the market is small. It's just obvious that there's a fuck up happened.

GAF's been acting a lot more like le le le le reddit lately. I don't know if I'm imagining things but seems like there's a large influx of juniors recently as well (no offense).
It's not anything personal against Canadians. It's just fangirls/boys feeling the need to fight for and defend companies even if it's arguing against consumer interests. This kind of attitude has been a growing trend.
I hope it's not a trend. Gravity Rush has the 10% increase like Tearaway Unfolded and Hitman is probably because it's some retail-digital episodic abomination. Hopefully nothing else is affected though.

Nice looking TV
My TV is a Sharp Aquos, but it's an LC42D62U from a decade ago. It still works really well, apart from a weird line of burn in across the bottom (I think that's from old age) and a squeaking/whirring noise that it makes on black screens in the winter. There's also a bit of ghosting sometimes.
Mostly it's fine. I'd buy another Aquos in a heartbeat, but I need to go 4K and have a low budget of about $1200.

None taken, I know I'm new and I mainly participate to this thread, but I find Neogaf a great source of well-researched discussion, except that one thread.
