Canadian Gaming Deals and Discussion Thread 2

I have all the games I've ever wanted on the PSP but I want to replace my PSP1000 and get the video out feature. I had a PSP3000 but it broke and I got the money back. I'd get one for $89.99 but $129.99 is too much seeing as a PSP2 is regularly on sale for $199 with a game and 4GB memory card. I guess I just have to wait.

If you find any deals on PSPs, be sure to post them. I'm looking around for one too, but yeah - $129 is way too much. The Zellers near my house is closing, but even marked down they're still around $120.
Will do. My other Zellers still has Madden PSP bundles for $199 lol.
If you can find stock, EB Games should have PSP systems for $99

Anyone here have or experienced mobilicity for their wireless carriers? Their plans look too good to be true, unlimited text calling data for $22.50. My plan ended recently and was looking for a good deal with data and came upon this. The only bad thing is that their coverage is really small for unlimited zones but 22.50! My god, is there any other carrier that has good deals on right now?
wireless carriers is my favourite game, where can I find a good deal on it????

This man has a point.
This is officially the best argument regarding any deals in this thread.
Feel free to discuss whatever Canadian stuff you want in this thread. I don't think any of us regulars mind. Just keep the politics to the Harperland thread and we'll all be happy campers =)
I don't know how anyone can stomach that shameless 50 shades of chainmail grey nerd porn.
I said I was tempted, not that I would buy it. When it hits $5 or $10 though I'll probably bite.The ASoIaF nerd in me scoffs at that game!
Thanks for your opinion.

Don't you just hate Ford?
I couldn't agree more. I wish they would just create a Canadian deals thread in the OT forum. It seems like every 10 pages there is yet another "what's the best ISP in my area" tangent that goes on for a page or two.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed. So annoying seeing less deals and a lot of random chatter :/ there should be a general Canada thread for that other discussion.
From OP:
I'm not so sure about "hopes up for a deal". This thread was never really going to offer that. There's always the "Games" category on RFD if all you want is the deals without the community aspect of it.
The argument comes up again and again and I think the majority of us like having this thread to go to for advice on our purchasing decisions for stuff like ISPs / Wireless Providers / etc.

As someone who isn't interested in the WiiU (yet) it was a little annoying for a few days when any posts about deals were drowned out by dozens of posts like the following:
But normally it isn't very difficult to wade through the crap that you're not interested in to see the valuable stuff. Can anyone actually make a case for the general nature of this thread being disruptive to the point of gaming deal discussion suffering?
Nice. So if this is a community, why is it on the gaming side?
Because 90% of discussion relates to games.
How would this affect your experience? You were being a dick to flamingotripod and were called out for it. This thread exists primarily to help GAFfers find deals on video games. That doesn't mean it can't serve secondary purposes. From what I can tell, you want this: http://forums.redflagdeals.com/hot-deals-f9/?prefixid=Games9

It is good having discussion in here, but when weekly deals are being missed or not stated over things such as Wii U shipment status or ISP packages, it does get annoying when in the past this thread has been really good at clearly posting deals for everyone to enjoy. This thread has provided me with many opportunities to save money on purchases and I just want to ensure that it doesnt end or get pushed aside for other non deal discussions...
I guess I was. My apologies.
Don't worry. It has been like this over 3 years now. We get sidetracked with every major console and game launch. If Future Shop's Purolator fiasco after E3 2011 didn't kill the thread, nothing will.
Speaking of which, my Halo 4 from E3 2011 actually came via Canada Post so I think they finally swapped away from Purolator for those pre-orders.

moblicity and wind are great. I had wind loved it. I do not have it now due to manitoba and some alberta location restriction. I would get it as soon as they get coverage here.

I guess since its the holidays I expect to see more deals, but thats just the way things go. This thread did lead me to getting Transformers Fall of Cybertron for 19 bucks from Walmart during Black Friday, so it is still doing me great service!
I'd sooner shoot myself.

anyone know how nintendo tvii will work with rogers digital cable?
It should I think. A NoC rep said at some point they were working things out with all the major providers.
EDIT: Realizing I may have misread your question... I don't think anyone fully understands HOW it will work at this point. But rest assured, it should work, I guess.

will I be able to watch cable from my controller? this is so confusing
As for that, I don't believe so. But we still don't know for sure, iirc. Who knows, Rogers may put their ROD streaming service on TVii. In that case, sure. It wouldn't be cable though, at that point.
I like how after the short discussion of what should be in this thread, we go right back to non-gaming deals.
I'd be alright with either.
You're gonna have to settle for neither.

hey, TVii is... kind of related to gaming...

You come for gaming. You stay for the community.
