Most un-important news of the day: Was going through my flyers just now to try to find some deals and there was the first ever print ad for PS4 in there.

... no sign of Xbox One, either.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

$180 3DS XL at Shoppers. Grab a flyer and price match it at FS/BB.

Random 3DS question. I recently got an XL and have been debating on whether to transfer my 3DS data to it.

Pro: I can retire my Zelda 3DS.
Con: The smaller console is more convenient for streetpassing.

Or I could use both: one for gaming, one for streetpassing.

Hmm.

 

[Dazzler]

If you have a bag with you each day then go XL

I carry two XLs and a Vita with me to work every day in my bag with my gym stuff, don't notice them at all

(XLs for streetpassing and Vita for playing right now)

 

[March of the Crabs]

$180 3DS XL at Shoppers. Grab a flyer and price match it at FS/BB.

Rad! Today is the last day of that sale so I'll snag one online at FS and match it with Shoppers. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[DaBoss]

I think you should wait. There is a $170 deal like every other week.

That's my dilemma...

 

[Dazzler]

It's got to be primed to go lower than that on Black Friday/Boxing day too

 

[jet1911]

Any deal on PS+ somewhere? Online or not. I'd like to buy a couple of "years" for cheap.

Well, I just got an email from Sony saying they'll give $10 if I extend my sub. 2015 is right around the corner...

I don't have a sub right now sadly.

Yeah my work has had them on sale at least 3 times in the past 4 months and i'm kicking myself for not biting. Guess I should probably hold out a bit more until Boxing Day though.

Hmm.

Portability was a huge factor in me getting the OG model. It was also a much better deal, got the red one with SM3DL pre-installed during Best Buy's boxing week sale for $130. No regrets.

If you do WANT an XL though, and are willing to spend the money it's more of a debate.

 

[Tagg9]

I kind of thought there'd be a deal on XLs for Thanksgiving. Doesn't look like it, though.

 

[E-DuB]

Thanks for all the input guys.

 

[Hieberrr]

I pre-ordered Pokemon through Futureshop -- will I get it tmro/by Staturday or am I SOL until Tuesday?

 

[Smiley90]

I pre-ordered Pokemon through Futureshop -- will I get it tmro/by Staturday or am I SOL until Tuesday?

Either tomorrow (if you get really lucky) or Tuesday (or later).

Depending on whether or not they ship today or tomorrow and how close to the distribution center you live.

I have only been charged, it hasn't been shipped yet. Not giving up hope that it ships today and arrives tomorrow yet :x

 

[ohlawd]

Saturday is a definite no. But you might get lucky on Friday. Who knows.

You should accept that you are very likely to get the game on Tuesday.

 

[Hieberrr]

Ugh, that sucks. I'm just going to buy it from EB and then just do a return when I get my FS copies.

 

[Sajjaja]

Question: Do the limited edition 3DSXL for Pokemon come with Pokemon installed? Or is it just a design?

 

[lupinko]

Question: Do the limited edition 3DSXL for Pokemon come with Pokemon installed? Or is it just a design?

Just a design, game is still sold separately.

 

[Sajjaja]

Just a design, game is still sold separately.

Well that sucks. Didn't the Animal Crossing XLs come with it installed?

 

[Anony]

i might just do the trade in, hope that paper mario will be in the list

 

[DaBoss]

FS is doing the trade in thing right? I hope their list is better than EB's.

Well that sucks. Didn't the Animal Crossing XLs come with it installed?

The Pokemon XLs came out before the release X/Y, Animal Crossing XL came out at the same time.

 

[Lexxism]

Yup. Hopefully the list will be live before 10am. So that I can decide if I will trade with EB or FS.

 

[zroid]

aaand I've officially given up hope that Pokémon will ship today. *throws a tantrum*

 

[Smiley90]

aaand I've officially given up hope that Pokémon will ship today. *throws a tantrum*

I'm not giving up until.. 10/11pm. They always update it later online.

But yeah, not looking good. I'll just have to go buy it Saturday morning...

 

[RE_Player]

aaand I've officially given up hope that Pokémon will ship today. *throws a tantrum*

Me too. I'm so fucking pissed because this long weekend would have been perfect to play it.

 

[ohlawd]

Come chill with me lining up for the midnight eShop release.

Bring a box of tissues

cuz y'all be wiping my tears when the eShop's getting hammered and I can't dl the game

 

[Mentok]

Don't know if this was mentioned,

Futureshop is clearing out MGS4 for $7 and Demon's Souls for $7. At least those were the prices in Orleans. They also have Darksiders 2 for $14.

 

[khaaan]

To do this, can I buy the game from anywhere and say I'm returning the game even though I'm giving them a Futureshop copy? Or do I have to haul myself down to Futureshop and do it?

 

[Hyunkel6]

Thanks! I reserved Darksiders 2 in-store. I was waiting for it to hit that price point.

Should work fine with any place. The pre-order bonuses shouldn't be INSIDE the game, I think. I'll be buying it from EBGames myself and then returning my FS copy to there.

 

[daftstar]

Feeling the same way here. I'm willing to wait until Black Friday or even Boxing Day... That Pokemon hype is convincing though. In the meantime I've been looking up other good 3DS titles (Fire Emblem might be another potential purchase).

 

[joedick]

Me too. I'm so fucking pissed because this long weekend would have been perfect to play it.

If it's that big a deal just buy it at the store and return the one you get in the mail.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Animal Crossing XL was $220, not $200.

 

[soulstoner]

MIne shipped today. They usually ship out of BC and arrive within two days to AB.

So... I'll see it on Tuesday I guess

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

 

[Haines]

to anyone who cant wait for fs copy to come in mail, this is what i do

go to walmart, buy copy, keep reciept, play it

when fs copy comes take it and walmart receipt back to walmart for return.

of course my backlog is too big so my copy can wait, cuz it will just be sitting on my shelf

 

[Keyouta]

Mine is being processed, so I guess it will ship tomorrow. The estimated date to get here is the 17th, not two days! I guess you're in southern AB though. I think I'll buy it on the 12th and then just return my FS copy when it.

 

[Canon]

I'm going to buy Pokemon on the eshop, can't wait for Future Shop's slow ass delivery. I wonder if I could sell it online for a profit (it's $26.99).

 

[RE_Player]

If it's that big a deal just buy it at the store and return the one you get in the mail.

I might end up doing that.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Well I suppose I should consider this a blessing. I still need to finish White 2.

 

[Sajjaja]

Animal Crossing XL was $220, not $200.

Ah. Makes sense I guess.


I'm so tempted to pick up a 3DS..... haven't played on a handheld since the Pocket. Pokemon.... I want it and the red LE looks so good. Should I?

 

[Firestorm]

Yes.

Of course. Get Fire Emblem: Awakening while you're at it.

 

[RGM79]

Best Buy will have Red Dead Redemption GOTY for $10 on Friday, same price for GT5 XL and GoW Origins.

http://forums.redflagdeals.com/fs-bb-wm-weekly-flyer-oct-11-17-t1-get-free-1392168/

Really wishing I hadn't bought that new copy of RDR GOTY from EB for $30 from about a week and a half ago. Haven't opened it yet, so I'm gonna go return it and get the $10 deal from Best Buy.

 

[Lexxism]

GUYS! The T1 of BB is now live.

These are the list of eligible games for 3DS!

*Luigi's Mansion
*Mario and Luigi: Dream Team (fffckkk yes!)
*NSMB2
*MK7
*Scribblenauts Unmasked
*Mario 3D Land

I assume that the FS will have the same list of games for 3DS! YES! No need for me to go to EBgames to trade my SMTIV

For more list: Here

 

[DaBoss]

Is Best Buy doing a trade 1 get Pokemon thing too?

 

[Lexxism]

Is Best Buy doing a trade 1 get Pokemon thing too?

Yup! That's what I said. BB = BestBuy

edit: Do the Pokemon event later will have a fee? Or is it free?

 

[No_Style]

FutureShop is showing Beyond: Two Souls which is inconvenient for me. Hopefully they change to Pokemon.

I have to beat Dream Team ASAP.
