I just wanted to say I finally visited Game Mania (Bloor & Keele, Toronto). It's nice to have another mom n' pop game shop in the city, and this place reminds me of a place I loved growing up. Their selection of older generation stuff is decent, but overpriced, and they have plenty of current generation items. Best part of the shop is the television units they have setup that you can play on. I'm not sure if they charge you, or if it's free, but it's a good idea.
Large store, not cramped. Could be a good place for tournaments if they ever do that.

I'm worried they won't last more than a year though if the pricing. Obviously they can't offer Game Centre prices right off the bat, considering how much action Game Centre receives, but they might have to offer other services to stay in business.

If you're in the area though, check them out.

I need to give them some business.

 

[EvilMario]

I need to give them some business.

Next time I'm in, I might try to convince them to hold a Mario Kart, or Smash Bro tournament, or something. At least plant the idea in their head.

I can't find a website for them either. If they listed their stock and prices, they'd be one step ahead of A&C Games and Game Centre in that regard.

I'd be shocked if they didn't hold a tournament with those screens.

As for Galleria Mall, I'm heading there now. Is this sale only at that location right now? I imagine all of them are closing down.

 

[bryehn]

Does anyone have experience buying shisha/hookah stuff online in Canada? Not sure where to look for gear and/or tobacco. I have a friendly Syrian source for getting some good quality tobacco on the cheap, but it's in rather large quantities, so I wouldn't mind just getting small samplers somewhere.

I'd be interested in this too actually.

 

[Cheerilee]

Some Zellers are going to be converted to Targets, and others are just getting shut down. I think different stores have different degrees of sales going on.

If that one is totally doomed, it'd make sense for the sales to be bigger.

[soultron]

Another heads up:

$20 Dead Island GOTY Edition at EB/GS starts today.

 

[The Elite]

Meh. Only game I wanted was Resistance 3. When you have a 60% off sale it's not really worth it to have year old games at full regular price. There was a regular dsi for $92 behind the counter.

 

[MarkusRJR]

I was just going to ask this. Made a Paypal account because of D3 and have no idea where to spend my newly earned cash. I know NCIX accepts Paypal, but their shipping is pretty pricey and their selection is limited for games. Let me know how eStarland works out for ya.

I'll give you a heads up. I just bought Elite Bear Agents for $15 and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for $25. Both new. They seem to have some good prices for new DS games. And yes, there are so few online video game stores that support PayPal. It's kind of a shame. There's only ebay, NCIX, Newegg (only sells accessories/parts in Canada), PLAY (Pal games only), eStarland, and Play Asia. There's probably a few more but I'm not aware of them.

 

[Oracle Dragon]

Didn't see it posted, but for anyone interested in Mass Effect 3 for PC, Gamestop/Impulse has it on for 50% off:

http://www.impulsedriven.com/mailers/2012/July/7.19_Email.html

Despite saying "US Only" for the Mass Effect 3 price I was able to purchase and download it (and register it on Origin). The 360 and PS3 versions seem to be on sale frequently, but this is the first time I've seen the PC version under $60 CAD.

There's lots of other RPG's on sale there to, but since this one was listed as "US Only" but worked in Canada nonetheless, I figured it was worth mentioning in the Canada Deals thread.

 

[i-Lo]

I don't know if this counts as a deal however Bestbuy are selling The Witcher 2 for $40.00 which I have found to be the lowest atm in Canada.

Kindly advise correction if a lower price is found.

Maybe for the retail version, but it's $16 on steam right now.

 

[firehawk12]

360 version though.

 

[zorbsie]

360 version though.

Oh I didn't check the link. I just assumed it was the PC version. That changes things. I don't think I've seen it cheaper than that then.

 

[ponpo]

I might make a BST post for some games, but anyone in Ottawa interested in a 360 250gb slim? GAF discount holla.

Apparently RCSS is doing massive markdowns on games. YMMV from what I'm reading.

Example: 15$ Arkham City GOTY.

Scum that buy 20+ games, I hope they have nothing but bad luck selling them or trading them in.

daaaaamn. no RCSS nearby. At least, not near enough for a YMMV run.

Doesn't look like BC is included. I work like 10 minutes from RCSS, I would have made a lunch trip there. I'm glad it's not in BC though, hoarders will ruin the 'deals', fuck them.

 

[snorggy]

Anyone played dungeon hunter vita? How is the loot? Kind of interested in playing a diablo clone on the go and $20 sounds like a decent price!

Yeah there's already an account in that thread of someone walking out of my only semi-near store with 30+ games :/

Might still try to go but it is always disheartening.

Only stores that are doing renovations are honoring this. I went to the Weston Road location and was told this. Call before you head out.

You're probably better off with its free Android/iOS sequels.

 

[krae_man]

It's not worth more then the $5-$10 it is on PSN and iOS/Android.

I don't 'shill' this site. It posts deals, they are good, from what I've seen, everyone wants you to put links to where you got the info.

If I'm allowed to, I'll remove links but I figured it would help everyone out to have the deals in one place because the site stays up to date with canadian deals.

Most of the cross-posting here is from CAG and RFD. There's no need to link to those sites, but when a new site pops up from a Junior, I get suspicious.

Plus:

I'm not going to report you as long as you don't repost deals and stop referencing Trendy Gamers. For all we know they grab their stuff from CAG/RFD anyway.

 

[zroid]

The two stores nearest me only carry 8 and 16. Might vary from store-to-store.

 

[elty]

Well good to know that they carry at least 16. The few near me either don't have a gaming section or only sell 3DS and PSP.

 

[firehawk12]

Ah, forgot I had one of those 10 dollar coupon things for buying Gravity Rush. Rayman Vita for 10 bucks was a nice pick up.

I find it sad that as much as I wanted to move to pure digital for the Vita, the fact that the games are at least 50% cheaper at retail makes that decision kind of easy to make. lol

 

[Onion_Relish]

All of the big 3 are doing 6gb/5gb super plans. Awww yeah my contract just ended.

Alert alert alert

This plan does not require a contract renewal, if you are on any plan you can bump up to this right away. I will point out that the deadline for the plan expiration is looking at around mid august but my guess is that it will be kept as the back to school crowd will want it.

For those of you interested in bell promos I can actually update this thread with those going forward as well as whatever rogers or telus is doing. Currently there is a non contract bundle 7 which has a call display and a 3 slot voicemail in it. New activations are getting money off their phones as well as accessory credits depending on where you end up...

Oh, since we're talking phones. If I were to go into an Apple store and buy an unlocked iphone, what's the cheapest no-contract plan I can get out here in Ontario?

Erp, why don't iphones work on Mobilicity?

Ah:
Our network uses a frequency called AWS, with bands 1700/2100. At this time, the iPhone doesn't work on this frequency. But we have a wide selection of other brand name phones that you can pair with any of our unlimited plans.

That sucks.
