I'll ask since you guys will likely know.

Just got that Vita PS+ codes from the Black Friday deal in the email. 3 one month codes.

Will these work in Canada? Using codes is hit or miss on other services, but I'd like to know if I should ditch/sell/trade these or if they'll work for me when the hardware gets here.

Any insight would be super. Thanks.

According to the flyer posted over on Smart Canucks, 3DS XL is $179.99 at SDM starting on December 1st, which is also the bonus redemption day. It's a lesser redemption day than their best, but still $105 for 50k and $210 for 95k is good with the $20 off the 3DS XL.

I'm going to redeem for that 3DS XL, since at least that gets me an XL plus $30 more stuff, which beats any redemption they've had for the XL so far. I'm saving the rest of my points in case they do a mega redemption after though.

But isn't it 179.99 "officially"? If I price match then there's still the competitors 10% off the difference no?

Do they price match Costco prices? I would think they wouldn't because Costco requires a paid membership to buy in-store. If it was listed online (which it isn't) then you could get it price matched because online Costco orders don't require a membership.

I think Walmart had a 360 deal but went OOS right away. All the websites were slaughtered when the sales went live. The only thing I managed to order were some shoes from Adidas that were 30% off and then an extra 40% off for Cyber Monday, and it took forever: felt like I was back in the days of dial-up.

XBL Gold 12 month cards are $39.99 at Gamestop/EBGames today for Cyber Monday. Not much else of note for today, but there's usually someone in here looking for a deal on XBL.

I checked in BST, someone selling the code says American CC required to use in his post. I am not 100% sure though.

I have a strange urge to buy a 3DS (Mainly for DS games (It is backwards compatible right)) are there any cyber munday deals in canada for an XL or a cheap non-XL?

Futureshop has XL's for $20 off and a $30 gift card. If you buy it online, the gift card will automaticly be applied and you will get it for $149.99.

Also Rumor is MSRP for the 3DS will be dropping to $140 soon.

I'm surprised, because I thought they were barely breaking even on them now, but I hear they did stop including the charging cradle, which sounds like the sort of thing you would cut out when you plan to cut prices. If they also drop the price of the XL that might explain the rumour of XL's coming pre-loaded with MK7 for $200.

I posted this in OT, but looks like it got lost already.

Anyway if you go to google.ca you'll see that they have a google doodle up of Mr. Dressup.
