I guess it's official, Xzibit is now in charge of Canada Post.

Hahaha I wonder how long it will be before someone shops Xzibit next to a picture of a receipt with the HST double tax
Wow, a X360 for basically $99?...

Actually, since they can't bundle gift cards online, they'll just reduce the price, so it will actually be $100 on bestbuy.ca.
Guys, I'm not a big Canada Post defender, but the real culprit here is Canada Customs, no?
Which system was that?
That was ps3. Sorry should have mentioned that!

Futureshop had this awesome deal for 360s a while back: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/prod...spx?path=c5afed9309be649120d95b8d8b6049eeen02
Seems way better than the $100 off. :|

Damn, I would have claimed it lol.
Okay so this is a GAF-only thing, and GVR/BC. I preordered P4Golden from Best Buy for $24.99+tax. If anyone wants the game for that price, let me know. I will purchase it, and we can meet up for it when I get it. If not, I will cancel the order because I am not sure when I'll get a Vita at this point. PM me if you're interested.

I tend to agree, but I've got some stuff I want to get rid of before it gets removed from the list, and both Xcom and Dishonored are looking like games I'd want to hold on to anyway.
It was preordered online so the return process is probably more complicated than selling it to someone here haha.
But yeah I know reviews are just opinions but its different when reviews describe what sounds like broken gameplay
I dunno, if no one wants it, I might end up keeping it.If you bought from EB/Best Buy/Future Shop, the returns process is identical to something you bought in store.
+1. Just have to line up.
Link? I don't see any
For some reason it's not on the mobile version of the site. Here's the link sir:
ZOE HD LE PS3
Looks like the quantity went back up to 10. Either way I doubt there will be too many made. The MGS HD LE was pretty rare so I can't imagine as many of these being made.
Sweet, thanks. Ordered this and cancelled my Gamestop.com one.

any deals on xbl 12 month cards?
Biggest reason to sell it to someone instead of just returning it is if it was pre-ordered from BB and he received 800 RZ points for doing so. It would essentially be 800 free RZ points. Another reason is giving someone a deal if you got it for cheaper than MSRP (like E3 pre-order deals). An example of both was last year I sold a copy of the Zelda SS CE to someone on here for the price I paid (I believe it was the 10% off + 800 RZ points deal) because they missed that deal. They saved $7 and didn't have to try to hunt one down and I got to keep the bonus 800 RZ points. It was win-win.

Thank you for posting this! I have been checking every day and the only site that I found listing a preorder was vg+, glad to save the shipping cost. Also, you mentioned quantity, how are you able to see this?
I was properly assessed $8.83 HST + $9.95 handling fee for a total of $18.78 on the CBSA form, which is what it said I owed on my delivery card. Then when I went to the post office to pick it up and pay for it, they rang it up as "NSH 15% Postage Due Label" at $18.78 and applied $2.82 HST for a total of $21.60, so I think it is purely an issue with Canada Post not ringing up the transaction the way they should be. I complained at the post office about it, and they agreed it makes no sense, but they said I would have to complain to Canada Post because they have no control over how it rings up in the system.
Ah, I see. I thought it was just marked that way on the form. Never had the issue here, but it's been quite a while since I've had a package I've had to pay duty/tax on.
I think you're right, though... when they ring it up as "postage due," that reads to me like a problem with your outlet and how they're handling it, but who knows?
Ooh!
Dumb question, but old style hard drives won't attach to that style 360 right? No cheap mod to get the old hard drive to work on that thing?
I'm still using my old one as my primary unit and will rely on usb sticks for the new one for a while till I can find a good deal on a slim drive.
This vid made it seem not too hard/risky to get your old drive in your slim.

I just ordered it online. My old 360 broke, and it costs like $40 to fix it, so $100 isn't that big of a jump for a new one that (hopefully) won't have many problems. Plus I could probably sell the broken one.
Thanks guys!
No, it's easy to use the old HDD in the Slim 360; I've been using a Slim with my old 250GB HDD for a while now... and that HDD was just one I bought from Canada Computers and flashed for the 360 firmware.

Does anyone know if the iPhone 5 is still hard to get? Can I just walk into a store and get one now?
Thanks, I searched but couldn't find it at all.
Haha, I know what you mean. Buy 4 360s or 1 WiiU?... that's my dilemma.
I salute thee. Put in my order this morning and it went through.
How much does EB give in credit for a 360 4GB?

Haven't they been recalled?
No.

It and the demo scared me off. But I ended up giving it a chance anyway. Didn't like the first bit playing Leon's scenario, but by the end of it, it really grew on me. The controls are way more responsive, and while some parts of the game seem a little rough around the edges, it was a fun and different experience from RE5. RE4 is still the best, but if you change your expectation that RE6 is an action game, then you might enjoy it more (provided you like full on action games).
I've found that the best order to play the game is Leon> Chris> Jake. (I chose Leon and Chris, and then Sherry for the last one).

Hot Shots Golf:WI - (PSV)
Wipeout 2048 (PSV)
Uncharted 3 (PS3)
Uncharted 3 shall be mine.

Sold.
There's a big Shoppers less than two blocks from my office, I know where I'm going in ten minutes.
edit - wait, I totally misread that and kept reading PSV down that list. I don't give a shit about Uncharted 3, I was thinking the Vita one.
Might get 2048, but then I have to buy it again on PS3 to get the dlc/crossplay shit.
