Thanks for the responses to my phone question, guys, some really good info there. 
You missed the one on the 26th on amazon.com for 30$. If you manage to sell or gift the base game, it's quite a good price. It also had 5$ of credit towards a list of games.

30% off on Greemangaming with code GMG30-DPLIM-DN831.

Just a heads up that EB has upped their trade in value for the 3DS from 70 to 85 dollars. Glad I waited until this morning.
Also, if anyone was like me and looking for Spec Ops The Line for relatively cheap, Amazon.ca is selling it for $24.99 - good enough! (Edit oops - looks like it was bumped back up to $35.99).

Hey guys, not sure where to ask this but what is the holiday return policy at Staples, specifically the electronics.
An iPad that is purchased on November 24, hasn't been opened, still have the receipt. I thought you can return it within 30 days if unopened and the holiday extended returns are applicable.
Correct me if I am wrong,
Thanks.

Man, I feel for you guys still buying games on consoles.
It is quite surreal sometimes following both this thread and the Steam thread.

Believe me, if new consoles weren't directly on the horizon, I would have put down the cash for a gaming PC this past fall. I will end up doing that in a couple of years though, once the PC starts making visible strides above next gen consoles once again. I won't miss out on gaming PCs again.

3DS XL, yes or no?
I have a PowerPC Mac so I have no choice. That and I can't get my Metal Gears anywhere else but on PlayStation. I don't mind waiting for sales.
I feel sorry for anyone that thinks this way. Not every console game is released on PC. And the software savings are offset by spending far more on the hardware.

Absolutely yes. I knew I'd never use my original 3DS again the moment I booted up my XL. Playing 3DS games on it feels more on par with my Vita (display wise) now.

Yep, consoles and PC's have their own advantages and disadvantages. I would love NHL 13 or RE6 for $20 on the PC, except NHL is console-exclusive and RE6 won't be out for a few months (plus it won't be $20 a couple months later).

This is on sale for only $4.10 BRAND NEW on amazon.ca. Seeing the price, I quickly read up some reviews and most say it's a nice visual and aural package with an interesting story but slightly tiring gameplay. For 5 bucks? Worth a shot! I ordered it a couple of days ago.
I found NSMBWii for $39.99 at Shoppers Drug Mart, as well as Donkey Kong Country Returns for only $19.99. Picked up DKCR!

Not sure if serious.

I'm seriously considering picking up the Xbox 360 250 GB from Futureshop for $149.99, as that's getting into my impulse buy territory.
I'd mainly be picking it up for a few choice games, but primarily for XBLA. I'm not really enticed by any of the package deals right now, but I want to know if I'm getting the best price at $149.99 for the console itself. Thanks.

Sorry, I just remember this game being a joke years ago when it was $5 everywhere and people would buy it for the Club Nintendo points and trash the game due to how bad it apparently was.
Started to write a long winded reply to this and realized it just isn't worth it and this isn't the place for it. Sorry for the crappy comment. It was an observation on the crazy price discrepancy between console and PC during sale time that might have carried a note of my ever growing disillusion with console gaming in general.
Fair enough.
This community helps ease the pain of console software prices. I haven't paid full price for a game in a very long time.
I cannot remember the last time I paid full price for a game. In any case, games on Day 1 are cheaper retail most of the time. Digital Distribution services have 'em cheaper if you're willing to wait a half year on PC (both for game release and then price drops). I have both and enjoy both

I've been paying 40 dollars or less for all my console games the past 2ish years, and before that I was taking advantage of trade in deals
Tsilon.ca, so good

A lot of multiplatform titles over the past months could have been bought for around $30 on release day through various PC digital distribution retailers. I don't think you had to pay full price for any big budget game on PC this fall if you looked around for deals.

Any Canadian retailer taking pre-order for Fire Emblem Awakening yet? We are always late, gamestop.com and amazon.com has it up.
damn that's tempting
Really? Hmm, I'm still intrigued enough by youtube reviews and videos of the game. Plus, it has some Greek mythology. For only $5, I'll gladly take the plunge.
I've heard it's a decent little RPG tbh. I believe it's the first entry in a long-running series to be released in North America, and based on sales it'll probably be the last. I saw it on Best Buy shelves for $4.99 for months, and always considered picking it up. Never did.
I'll trade you 3 crayons and my milk.

Glory of Heracles is certainly not a bad game, especially if you like old school JRPGs. It's linear and has random battles (if you didn't like old school Final Fantasy, then you probably won't like this), but it has an interesting story that is actually unpredictable and exciting at points and the battle system has some variety. Grid based battles require some light strategy.
8-4 did the translation and its done well. It's well worth $5.
Is it chocolate milk?
I'm walking away.

There's the flyer for anyone who wants it.
Same deal at futureshop.
Actually the DS Lite went on sale for this price often during its last years. The first time it dropped to $99 here in Canada I was the one to get the scoop and post it on RFD weeks in advance. (Had got a copy of the flyer early from an employee)
Yeah, true. The 3ds has only been out for only 1.75 years and its price has been all over the place, which I don't believe that happened in the DS's early life.

Anyone know if I order something from BestBuy.ca can I specify the delivery date and time?
