I slept in till 2:30 and they still had plenty of Dairy Milks, Ritz, and Trident gum at Shoppers thanks to the limit of 1 bonus point offer, and the specials run tomorrow too, and the price is still reduced for the rest of the week, so everyone should probably have a chance to do this offer one more time by the 23rd if you haven't done it since the limit took effect on the 14th. Their website says the points will be awarded by Sept 28th, so I'd hang on to your receipt just in case there's a problem.

So has anyone found a copy of LBP Vita in Toronto? Checking GameStop website turns up zero stock at all locations.

Arg, I knew I should have went with BB. I needs my Kirby. Thanks for the quick answer guys.
Hm, not sure if retentions can do anything unless you're a mobility customer already. Yeah I'd go with the 1GB plan. At least it include caller id...
You need to talk to Wind and get them to cancel your Telus contract if you want to keep your number. Unless something has changed, cancelling with Telus first means you lose your number. It takes some time to cancel so I would probably call back.

I can't believe they charge 7 dollars for CID normally. Like, god damn. lol
Had a Hamilton #, so I cancelled with Telus. Getting a new/TO number will really solidify my move to TO. c:
Wait until Thursday?
i have a motion+ addon I'd like to get rid of if you want to buy it, needs to be shipped though
would also like to get rid of wiimote as well, and a classic controller if you're interested
pm me
But you'll be one of the 647 numbers or if you're really unlucky one of the new 437 numbers whenever that starts. :lol
647er right here. Screw you, buddy!

There's so many sales happening all the time that very rarely am I forced to buy a game I heavily anticipate for full price at launch. For instance the only games I wanted to buy this year are AC3 and Black Ops 2 and I had them pre-ordered since a long time ago for 39.99 each. That was just from a regular sale in future shop.
It's especially easy when you can order all the things you want during the sale and just wait for em to come out. Not being charged until shipment is a blessing.

It's okay as long as you know people look down on you.
It's great, I think the most I've paid for a game this year has been 33% off. There's really no point in paying more than that because these stores are throwing deals at us.

The only time I'd buy a game near day 1 at full price is if it's part of a 'cultural moment' or whatever i.e. GTA or Skyrim or Portal 2 or something like that. At least, I would do that if I had the time and had a way smaller backlog...

I still pay full price for Japanese games... because, well, NISA and Natsume doesn't sell through BB/FS. Heck, I don't think every Xseed or Atlus game has made it to the big box retailers. (I'm still wondering if Code of Princess will show up at FS. lol)
The last time I remember paying full price was to get Bit.Trip Saga, but I got it from the US to get the bonus soundtrack and stickers, and I avoided paying taxes on it too, so it was still a bit of a deal. Honestly, the last time I bought a retail game without getting any sort of deal was probably in 2010 when I got Tetris Party Deluxe, which was only $30 anyways.

The only game I'm paying full price for this year is Ni No Kuni, and that's only because I ordered the Wizard edition off Namco's site. Eveything else is a minimum $10 off.

How the hell are you getting games for the low of a price? Where do I get Future Shop coupons?
firehawk12
Subete no aware
Through tsilon.ca.
Even then, during E3 you could get something similar (15 dollars off instead of 20) if you ordered 4 games at a time (and there's nothing stopping you from ordering one game and cancelling it).
If anyone wants some (essentially) free money and cereal, Kelloggs has mail-in coupons in their cereal boxes for $5 prepaid gas cards, and qualifying boxes currently cost $4 at Superstore.
I got a few of these last year and they do work. There's a limit of four or five per-household though, so you can't RFD.
It's just like, $20 worth of gas for your car and four boxes of sugar for your morning and it only costs you $16 and some diabetes. It's worth it no matter which one you want. If you want both combined, it's a great price.

You get on the site, do some random tasks to level up, and once in a while they'll throw up new perks that you can get.

Is Futureshop running a promo on LBP Vita? Like a trade one for one?
Just finished the codes to gain access to the full site. It then prompted me to enter name and would send me an email. Does it usually take time for that?
edit: ahhh never mind. I got confused lol. Looks like I got access. Let's see what I can do!
What's the catch? Isn't there a new ps3 model coming out soon?

That is the theory...word is 09/28 however none the less that is still an amazing deal at $199 with all 3 Uncharted games.
My 80GB died almost a month ago and and debating picking this up before the new model as I already own all Uncharted's can just sell them for 10-15 bucks each.
Nice haha, I only preordered DoA5 for the CE but yeah I try not to pay full anymore. No point, I take my time with games anyways so I won't finish them fast enough.
Even then I did some power trades (+30% iirc) so I got at least 20 off it.

It seems the new model is only *slightly* smaller. The disc tray is like the PS2 pop-top kind, but slides open. The thing looks really ugly, and doesn't come with a hard drive - only 16gb of internal flash memory.
If the difference in sizes was like the PS2 Slim vs PS2 Phat, I'd be game, but for this, I'd rather shell out for the $199 deal.
It's more than $50 off. If you account for the Uncharted trilogy, everything comes out to over $300.
Check out Maynards on Main st. They might still have game accessories there for cheap. I got some point cards and a Wii Motion Plus Wiimote for 30% off.
How long does it take to get a FS coupon from tsilon? Anything more than an hour, and I'd rather be making real money.
They were given away during E3 so it's not like you can get them now. At the time you could get up to 10 $20 off pre-order codes (for a total of $200 in savings) if you were level 20 or above IIRC. Level 10 people were eligible for 5 codes.
Getting up in levels is super easy at first since the gaming trivia when you first start will get you past level 10 without problem. Other ways to get XP to level up are through daily questions (they're not always daily and you'll soon learn that the site isn't updated on a very reliable schedule), Challenges (usually just earn a specific achievement/trophy in a specific game, 8 per week), or playing in live events with other members throughout the week (PSN/XBL/PC multiplayer in fighting/racing/FPS games).
Anyway, tsilon.ca discussion/questions should be in the thread for it.

Er, I was talking about the Wii U tsilon coupon xD
I guess I totally forgot to reference that anywhere in the post haha
Off-topic but I was wondering, is it bad for your credit to cancel a credit card?
I have quite a few but pretty much use just one, its balance gets zeroed out each month and the rest of the cards are always at zero since I don't use them.
Was thinking of at least getting rid of the one's that have an annual fee.
BTW what do you guys think of the Amazon.ca credit card? Just received it and it seems pretty good, no annual fee and you get Amazon points for each purchase. There is also no-interest payment plans on big purchases.

Smart Cash and the Amazon.ca cards are two of the best on the market right now.
In regards to your first question, it's not bad for your credit, but you may not be able to get that additional credit again through another creditor, as each creditor has difference lending practices and just because one will offer you 25k on a credit card doesn't mean that another will offer you 25k more if you close the competitors card.
Awesome, I'll make the Amazon card my primary card then.
And really appreciate the tip, guess I'll keep all the cards just in case.

It's a trade 2 + 30% thing. The two I traded got me the full price of the game. It's not exclusively a trade 2 deal though.
