Yeah MP came out this year.

Not sure if I'll buy Sleeping Dogs, I still have my friend's copy. I guess I won't grab it now.

Considering Skyrim at 29.99 ... bought it when it released for PS3 then got fed-up with the issues. May pick it up for Xbox360 now (and all the DLC is on sale on Dec31)

Just did price match on phone with Best Buy, took 9 minutes (sadly) but other than that it worked fine. I just hate how they charge you full first, but I can wait.

I'm nostalgic for when EB used these daily deals to clear our their big boxed CEs at ultra-low prices
Click to expand...

Companies don't make many big-boxed CE's anymore. Or if they do they're actually limited.

I suppose it helps that there aren't giant Rock Band/Guitar Hero instruments taking up store space anymore. :lol

I'm avoiding sharing this with RFD because of some of the slime that lurk at that place. I went to Shoppers today to pick up a 3DS XL on sale for $169.00 and it scanned for the 3DS sale price ($139.00). If anyone's in the market for one of these, it's worth a try. Please don't ask for the location - I'd like to avoid having the aforementioned folks taking advantage.

Great deal. And you'll get an additional $25 off if you buy tomorrow.

Does Wal-mart do price protection? I wanna buy Dishonored now and play it, and then get a partial refund on Boxing Day.
Click to expand...

YEs but you have to bring the item back when doing price adjustment, not sure what the Boxing Day rules are, but if it's boxing week should be ok.

Hey guys, I just got myself a 3DS and I am now looking to buy what I missed on 3DS and DS(Never had one). I am a huge Castlevania fan, which one do I look for? Thanks!

Someone already posted it on there, but few people were able to take advantage, because it scanned correctly at most stores. BTW, the XL is on sale at Shoppers for $160 on Saturday though.

Wal-Mart I went to this evening had a big Ubisoft deal on for $15 games.

I got PSVita Rayman Origins and PSVita Dungeon Hunters (I know, I know.)

They had like Just Dance games, AC: Revelations etc as well.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=499322 (after the first 10 or so posts there are plenty of people discussing the DS Castlevanias)

Consensus seems to be Order of Ecclesia > Dawn of Sorrow > Portrait of Ruin

I've got OoE on my backlog. Eager to start it.

I liked all of the DS Castlevanias, to be honest. They were great fun. I'd be wary of playing them all back to back, however, since I think it'd be easy to catch some wicked franchise fatigue. I'm not a CV mega-fan, but I'd say you probably won't be disappointed in starting with either of them. I really dug Order of Eclesia. :)

Just picked up two copies of Art Academy at EB for $15ea for gifts. That's the good game right?
Click to expand...

Who is receiving the gifts? I think Art Academy is actually more appropriate for adults than kids. It's not a happy little digital art program, like Flipnote Studio or Colors 3D. It's a more serious, realistic simulation of paints, pastels, and pencils.

Forza 4 the same price as Horizon lol

Most of these look like regular prices I'd expect. Dark Souls is the only real steal there IMO.

Who still needs to put out Boxing Day flyers, BB and FS?

EB deals are disappointing, except Dark Souls if you haven't already pick that up. The up to 40% off of used games could be interesting though.

Hopefully FS/BB will have Sega and Sonic Racing Transformed on sale.

I can't remember the last time Boxing Day was even worth the time to leave the house. Screw getting caught up in all that mess to save 5-10 bucks.\\


I'll probably hit up WalMart for a few of those games tomorrow instead.

So how does buying digital stuff from Amazon.com work? Any catches to it for a Canadian? How do I go about it?

Want to getting Scribblenauts Unlimited next week at $7.49 when it's on Amazon.com instead of what it is on Steam now.

Just use your credit card and a US address and you're good to go.

MTF: PRICE MATTERS (a liquidator in BC) had Diablo III on for $20 bucks in clearance. Picked it up as a gift for someone for Christmas :D

And too bad about EB Games, last year their 50% off used games deal was amazing... nothing in sight this year...

24 and 16 year old cousins. One doesn't even have a DS but she's been borrowing my old Lite for a while now so can use that. The other has her own. I remember hearing about this game a little while ago on GAF and figured I might as well while it was on sale.
