I feel like I saw 4000 points for $37 at Costco when I was there yesterday, but it's entirely possible I'm getting the numbers mixed up.

Nope. Those are the 2800 point cards.
Yeah I mean it worked for me and my friend. Plus theres also a thread at Red Flag Dealsabout others who have tried. I used an email and phone number that weren't the same ones on my Xbox account and paid via Paypal.
Just tried it and it seems like it gives an error when it's added to the cart. Is there a trick I'm not aware of? (It's my first time ordering from EBGames online.)

Probably a blessing as if I had actually been able to log in and order it I would have.
And the last thing I need is more tacky videogame related knick knacks.
Well, that would be why it didn't work. Thanks for the heads up!

So my copy of Halo arrived today, but FS charged me the full price (I had used the tsilon code). The order on the website still indicates the discounted amount.
I've emailed them and I'm sure it'll get taken care of, but I'm wondering if I'm alone in this?

I should check my statement.
ha. You get charged 20 bucks extra, I (and everyone else in line at the local EB) got their HST refunded for preoders. Did anyone else experience this? They gave everyone 7 bucks back and the receipt showed 0% HST.

Did you have to pay anything at EB upfront? Trade-in credit that is immediately applied towards a pre-order/game is tax-free. Trade-in credit that is put on a gift card loses the tax.
My guess is that you paid "too much" for your pre-order and they refunded that amount.

Any trade 1 for Paper Mario at FS?
There will be midnight launches at many EB Games locations for Black Ops II and for Wii U. Yay!

I've found it to be almost completely worthless without a VPN switch. After the switch? Fantastic.

I got a free trial a few months ago, so I figured I'd get with the times and try it out, and it didn't have even 1/4 of the things I thought to look for. I'd agree with the common sentiment that Netflix Canada doesn't have any of the things that you want, but you might enjoy some of the things that it does have if you're willing give those things a chance. Unfortunately, it's automatic profiling software didn't seem to understand what I liked at all (and I didn't like the general idea of a computer trying to profile and pigeonhole my tastes), and your ability to browse their selection through their interface is horrible. Even so, after a month I figured I had probably derived about as much enjoyment from their system as I was ever going to.

Any issues signing up to US Netflix with Canadian-based credit cards?
You don't have to switch anything, it's all one account. You're just logging in from a "different location".
I just manually set the DNS on my PS3, re-downloaded Netflix and that's it. Good to go. Check out the free trial, it's super easy.

Seriously? Wow, I assumed it would employ an entirely different billing system. So even the free 1-month trial will carry over then? Hmmm...
Yep, you could get the one month free trial from Netflix and the 7 day free trial from Unblock-Us.

lol, par for the course for futureshop. i didn't even know there were any preorder items. do you have any links to the items so i can pester FS with them?
Just got my copy of Halo 4 today from Futureshop via preorder for $22.57, a price I don't expect even a used copy of the game would sell at for at least the next 6 months. I am dropping in to say that it was possible because of this thread and generosity of one member, Crewnh.
Once again, thanks to you all and hope this thread keeps on being the great public service it is for Canadians.

Apparently looking @ Kijiji in the GTA, quite a few people were able to get @ $9.99, which boggles my mind. Shouldn't people know that this is a price error and not pm such a price?
The only legitimate way of getting this game @ that price point would be if FS honor their weekly ad.
Edit: DAMN, THAT PIC IS HILARIOUS AND UNFORTUNATE.

I traded in towards a preorder, in full. Then got tax refunded, my final receipt says "59.99, 0% HST" now, with a 7 bucks refund...

Someone from Future Shop responded this evening and graciously apologized for the error.
I guess it was just me!

Same.
Yep, even on my phone when I was in the Niagara Falls (US) airport my son was able to get the US Netflix library when going through the airport WiFi. Same account, same app, but the library was MUCH bigger.
Just did this. OMG. Not going back.

Could have sworn I ordered the steel book but I got sent a regular copy of halo 4. Is there any way to check?
In the order there should be Halo 4 and below it Halo 4 steel book

Yeah, it went from something I almost never used to something I use almost every day.
Nice, not sure whether anyone else did the T2 for $60 gift card at BB/FS this week, but I traded in my NSMB2 and Kirby Dream Collection and then used the card to get 3 eShop cards, and they even gave me the 120 RZ points for the eShop cards too. It's kind of hilarious considering I paid less than $60 for those games from BB in the first place, so they basically let me walk away with more money than what I originally gave them for those games just to take their own games back used. Sometimes I wonder how they manage to make enough money to stay in business.
I really don't have much to trade in from the list sadly. I did manage to trade some games into EBgames for their promotion (trade 7 minimum $3 value, get extra $30 credit). Games traded in were: Little King's Story, Resident Evil UC, Naruto: Rise of the Ninja, Viva Pinata 2, Tales of Vespreia, Fallout 3, Burnout Paradise. Total credit of $63 for mostly turds I no longer needed. I can't believe Burnout and Fallout even qualified.
