Shit. I don't think they'll be that low for another while. I guess I'm waiting.
Yup. It's on the list.

US has a Fire Emblem bundle for 199$, did not look to see if we have one in Canada.
$10-15 where? I'd buy a copy for that price for myself.

Found mines in Microplay, but I think that they are Quebec and Ontario only.
I considered that, but it comes with a regular 3DS. Now that every other portable device I use has a pretty large screen, I don't think I can downsize. Plus, every single person I've asked has strongly recommended going with the XL.
Damn, I'll just wait for EB to drop price. No prices listed on the site so can't pricematch.

Oh wow... for some reason I was sure that it was an XL... no reason to go with regular size is my opinion too!
Yes, thanks dude.
I'm heading to FS right now.
Trading in my 2nd copy of NSMB2 (how long have I had this for? I can finally get rid of it!) and Lollipop Chainsaw. Good riddance on the latter if I may add
I can save the gift card for a March game because that month is bananas. Decisions, decisions...

Hold up... Microplay still exists? Huh, I thought they disappeared ages ago. Do they still rent PC games?

I miss my local Microplay, only decent place to get retro games in my town
Man I miss my local Microplay too.
They had everything, you could rent a Atari Jaguar CD if you wanted. I remember going on a waiting list to rent an imported N64 and PS1. I was the first kid in my class to play Mario 64 and Ridge Racer!

I bought my N64 at Microplay.....there used to be a couple in the Toronto area
Well, I actually went in, they had one console left, said they'd hold it for me while I went to the bank to get the money and check on something I can't remember
I went back with my mom a few hours later to get and they were selling it to someone else and looked at me like oh fuck, we did say we'd hold it.....
So one of the clerks drove to Toys R Us to buy one and sell it to me for the Microplay price.......maybe thats why they closed down a couple years later lol

Yeah there is but I actually live in Brandon, not Winnipeg. I was at the St. Vital Microplay not that long ago and it was okay, not as good as my local Microplay though. When I'm in Winnipeg I usually check out places for retro games, I find it difficult to find them at a decent price though. PNP Games is okay but they are usually very expensive from my previous experiences.
Yeah they were great because you could rent systems. I bet I rented a PS1 ten times before I actually saved up enough to buy my own. If I hadn't been renting it all the time I probably would have gotten it faster. It was great because you could rent systems that you were interested in but couldn't really afford

I rented consoles from Blockbuster lol

Really, my blockbusters never did that.
The very last time I went to Microplay was sometime in mid-late 1996. I traded in my Sega Genesis (console) to get a copy of Super Mario RPG for SNES. As I remember, it was pretty close to an even trade.
One of my favourite games ever, but I still regret letting go of the Genesis.

That Future Shop deal is so messed up. I just went to Microplay and bought COD:MW2 and WWE 12 for $26, and was able to trade them in. Not only that, I checked FS' used games shelves, and I could've bought the same games there for a combined $40 used. I know they treat games, DVDs, CDs, etc., as loss leaders, but that's crazy...not that I mind, of course.
Anyone try returning an item to EB that you bought online? I lost the packing slip, wondering if I can still return it. (GW2 Guide) It was only $7 though so I guess I don't really care that much if I can't return it. I'll probably give the store a call if I'm heading out there tonight, but I'm not sure if I am.
If last week is anything to go by, the list will change tomorrow.

The titles I have remaining will hopefully stay. They have good value.
Guide isn't written that well, not really worth it.

White ass creed bundle is on sale for 20 bucks off at FS. Does that mean I can try to get BB to try and PM it and knock 5-10% off the price?
$20 would give you a $2 additional discount through PMing

Same price at BB.
Random but there's been bunnies around my street for a while, there were 2 (we thought) but one got run over by a car (pretty upsetting)... Then a few days ago another smaller one showed up.
The big one is in my backyard right now. I wish I could catch them but I can't take care of them, and they run REALLY fast when you get too close.

The rabbits in my area are just grey and vary in size, they are amusing to watch
Ugh I made a bad choice by hoping BB would have the same list as FS. Deal is probably dead for the trades soon. Sadly i cant make it to FS before they close. I bought batman (used), dark souls (new), and mw2 (used). I also have a copy of wii lego star wars. Guess I'll have to try my luck tomorrow. Ugh

That's so terrible. I guess the only people who would want it are people who couldn't be bothered to sign up and get lvl 10 at tsilon.

Not everyone is on Tsilon or has any idea what it is
