So can i redeem optimum points immediately? Do they have current ps3 games? I really just want to get the Infamous collection and the Killzone collection when it comes out.
Yup. Some bonus points take time to post, these ones however posted immediately.
Mini Eggs count too?
AFAIK

XL sale this holiday you say, where is this sale rumored at?
Yes!
Best Buy and Future Shop has a trade 2 for NHL 13 deal. NHL 12 is on their list. If you have another game on their trade in list, you're good to go.

I would but I lost my shoppers card I really have to fill out the thing to transfer over points soon

Wow, when I trade in games they always look at the discs and everything, what's going to happen when someone does buy it and finds it broken?
Still quite the lucky trade, but for the future buyer, not so much, but hopefully the buyer will be able to exchange them.
I bought a used copy of Dark Souls, I walked out of the store and opened it only to find a copy of NHL 10. This was at Futureshop too.

Nintendo did it right with the Metroid Prime Trilogy. Why they did a reprint of Mario All-Stars and not that baffles me.

I don't think you can get the new iPhone for 0$, it's just so hard.
I feel disgusted hearing people brag about fraud, Whatever!

Same here, only big bars are eligible here.

I guess I spoke of mine was less bragging and more trying to tell of an easy way to do it to help others, it did seem less sleazy when I first did it before posting. :/

this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
I'll start clearing out locations tomorrow then. Biggu bars.
Yeah MPT was an amazing package. It makes you wonder why they couldn't have done something similar for Mario's 25th package. My guess is Retro had some say in whole packaging design of MPT.
It's easy money to repring DVD with ROMs compared to reprinting a Steelbook package that still wouldn't have sold as well compared to Mario's 25th Anniversary game.
And that White Kirby is stuff of Nightmares.
"free" means "at new activation cost" so no it would be $160 or whatever new iPhones usually cost.

I didn't mean you, I was talking about the victorious story of trading broken games in, which is just an example of what you will find on RFD.

I went to Shoppers tonight and saw the chocolate bars. I don't understand where the deal lies. Is there a bonus redemption day coming up?
It just passed on the weekend. People are saving the points until the next time, whenever that is.

Ah not worth it to wait. I only bought $20 worth of bars. I hope I can return them (and the points).
isn't it, though? even without the bonus redemption, you're still getting more than your money's worth.
unless you really hate chocolate that much >_>

True. I'll take a look at the PS3 section to see if it's worth waiting for.
Do they generally happen often?
Recently about once a month.

You could make a living off Future Shop's messed up trading system. Spend $25 on games, trade those in for a newly released 80 dollar Collector's Edition game, sell that on Craig's List, repeat the process at 3 or 4 different locations.

Nah only piece of shit RFDers do that
When they get rid of trade-ins we'll all wonder why
For me at least I don't think it's worth the time or effort. I'm only going to trade stuff for something I want, otherwise I won't bother

Same, but if one was so inclined, it's not a bad source of income. I just remembered they ask for your credentials every time so they'd probably put a stop to you after a time.

Subete no aware
Unless you can be like the crazy guys on RFD, trading in 50 games for 10 3ds XLs or whatever, I can't imagine it'd be worth it.
Or the crazy people who bought hundreds of chocolate bars. (Check out ebay for Dairy Milk bars...lol)
Daaaammn yoouuu Atlus, why couldn't Code of Princess be released a week earlier (in September)!? Would've been perfect for my $20 coupon from buying the XL. Gah.
Maybe I will just use it on LBP Vita after all. Really wasn't planning on buying it now, but with Kirby supposedly getting the trade 1 treatment, I guess it's the best solution.

UPDATE! This sale starts today (the 12th) in Quebec, but the 14th in Ontario. So, for now, false alarm. Sorry y'all.

Thanks! I should probably get that done ASAP.
EDIT: Wow, NHL 12 and MLB 12 for NHL 13. That's sorta a steal.
I thought you were kidding but @___@

Ugh this is crazy, they don't even wanna keep the chocolate they bought at a discounted price, no they are selling it for a 50% profit. One day all these stores will never make such promos. I've seen one myself running into SDM with a backpack searching the whole place with his friend for Cadbury bars but the store was already cleaned. Looked exactly like the imaginary image of a hoarder lol
And in BC?

QC is usually the only province that's different from the rest of Canada.
That Tide sale seems pretty hot. That 32gb SDHC card for $15 also seems like a good deal depending on the class. One would assume though that the class must be pretty crappy to not even bother listing the class on the packaging.
If you mouse-over the picture of the packaging, you can zoom in on the card itself, which says it's a class 4.
14th in BC too I think
