My friend is looking for an Xbox 360. He has a PS3 and wants a 360 because he wants to borrow my games and play them, I'm to blame because he was buying few PS3 games yesterday and I mentioned how I have those games ans he could borrow them if he had a 360.

What is the best deal in the market for a 360 now? Not sure if he should go for thr 4GB or the 250GB console.

The 4GB console has been on sale for $129.99 a few times, so I'd wait for that again (or better). If he's just playing your games on disc, 4GB will be fine. He can always add storage via USB, anyways.
 
thought I'd share how horrible Zellers clerance sale was with this gem at my lcoal Zellers right before close

man I should have waited to buy the graphics card, I have a feeling there will be a few sick deals when black friday rolls around. I still haven't picked it up though, maybe I can put it on hold?

For anyone doing the NSMBU's Old Navy promotion this Saturday, I noticed in the fine print of the commericial that it says 46-96 or so games per store. That's pretty dang good.

Some more fine print from the website.
Prior to Old Navy store opening on Saturday, November 24, in Canada, customers will form a line outside the store and a store associate(s) will pass out one wristband per person aged 16 or older, starting with the front of the line while supplies last. There are an extremely limited amount of available wristbands per store which will be distributed on a first come first served basis and Old Navy can not guarantee that all customers in line will receive a wristband. Subject to availability, wristbands are good for one New Super Mario Bros. U video game with a qualifying purchase of $40 or more, and must be surrendered after purchase.

I like how they're handling the wrist bands, so you can take your time.

Haha dang, missed that somehow. I'm gonna try to PM at BB and use my rewardzones to get it for $15 off. Works out for me.

I got $15 left on reward zone points as well. But I can't decide if I want to spend them towards P4:golden or MGS HD collection.

Either or, I won't be playing either of them anytime soon because of my backlog.

The other option was getting a 32gb vita card.

Yeah my backlog grew last since I bought Ratchet Collection and All Stars...ugh. I wanted to buy TTT2 for a while so I'm just gonna cave, and put Batman AC and Lego Batman purchases on hold. I think in a few months both Batman games will be $19.99s.

You wont regret buying TTT2.

These deals are...decent.

My friend has been messaging me crazy over sleeping dogs @ $29.99 EB games, and arkham city goty for $19.99. He really wanted those and they are some big heavy hitters.


As for me, I already played arkham city. It was the reason why I got the PS3 and it came with it back when Arkham city launched. I traded that in during sleeping dog's launch along with LBP to get sleeping dogs.

Arkham city is worth only one playthrough IMO. The city is the most creepiest ghost town after you beat the game. I get that you have to do newgame+ but besides the enhanced difficulty I couldnt get myself to finish collecting the rest of the riddler trophies.

I also felt extremely screwed over by the preorder dlc, as they had costume packs at every damn retailer and bestbuy had robin. The joker map was so fliping terrible. Then the batman beyond skins were only available in NOS cans.

Being my first console game with that amount of preorder crap attached to it from every retailer and making it mission improbable to get every piece of dlc, I snapped and began to hate it.

Good game, but screw them for the greediness half assed dlc. Nightwing didn't even talk.


I guess I was just really irritated that a single player game could be bogged down with such unneccessary dlc. I mean Festival of blood or Undead Nightmare is good dlc, but having characters and costumes added in that add nothing to the singleplayer game and its gameplay is stupid.

I had a big grin on my face when I finally got rid of it for sleeping dogs. Granted, I never really played sleeping dogs that much, and it has quite a few costume dlc and cheap tricks too, atleast it doesn't feel like I'm missing anything fundamental.

I felt bad for trading in my brother's LBP2 so I rebought the special edition for him the following week.

I'm probably going to save the $15 reward zone points for later. I just better use them before january when they expire.

AA was also creepy after I finished the game lol.

I'm waiting for SD to reach $20, I'm playing a borrowed copy from my friend atm.

I'm only really using the RZ points because I spent quite a bit on games this week already, don't really want to pull more funds from my pocket but I want TTT2. Don't really have much else I want this year but these deals are tempting in general.

Do you guys know anything about Western Union? There's a website selling a flash cart and my two options are Paypal (always seems like too much work) and Western Union. Any drawbacks in signing up with WU and paying that way?

And I'll take this opportunity to say that this community is amazing. You guys are extremely helpful, not assholes (ie, we don't suffer from the same problems as RFD), and have saved me a great deal of money/heartache. Cheers

I think with Western Union, you're screwed if they don't send you the product. You have no recourse to get your money back if something goes wrong. You'd be at the total mercy of the honesty of the seller.

Scams always seem to involve Western Union, and I always hated doing money orders back in the days before Paypal. Paypal is safer and so convenient.

Can't stack them. :(

In the flyer it lists all the web codes and Wii U is excluded.

Ah lame.

Whyyy its the same game.
Bah.

Thanks for the info though.


Also to firehawk12 , nope , not hitman.

But i did order like 8 games with those codes , the last 2 being mario and zombiu , and i got every single one of them , i know this probably doesnt help you exactly but though i'd chime in anyways.

I really dislike PayPal but I'd definitely just sign up for an account. It'll be more useful in the long run and I have heard so many warnings about transferring money over Western Union it's probably not worth it. PayPal isn't too much of a hassle to set up. Then again, I set it up 7 years ago or so.
