The person who invites you gets an XP multiplier boost. The person being referred gets nothing except being able to skip the test process in the start.

If you need an invite, I can give you one.

Please PM me a referral. Thanks.

How does Tsilon make money? I know that they don't lose anything from giving away these codes, but how did they convince Future Shop to essentially give away $20 coupons to hundreds/thousands of people just for the halibut?

I'm glad they exist and all, I'm just curious what keeps them afloat.

Even discounted it still seems expensive. ~_~

Good for those who want one though, I suppose.

Seriously. I will pay no more than $50.

tsilon IS futureshop.

Thanks.

PS vita memory 32gb is currently 25% off on amazon.ca which make it 77.40

I offered an invite a few days ago but no one took me up on it

Still available.

Remember: you'll likely have to wait a couple weeks before it's processed.

I would pay $250 for a Black WiiU, preferably bundled with an extra game or accessory.

I would also accept a $300 Black WiiU with a $50 gift card.

I paid $300 for my Deluxe at launch, and $40 for the games I bought <3 Tsilon.

 

[Sora_N]

Price drop for Wii U soon? Lol. I'm glad I didn't try to buy any for resale.

 

[zroid]

Deluxe Wii Us are 330 at Costco (and plentifully available)

I know, I missed those coupons (the Bond one got me really sad, especially how it's out of stock everywhere now) as they came out when I was involved in moving and starting my new job.

They're actually not in forced bundles? Costco's usually pretty bad about that, though they've gotten a tiny bit better the past couple of years.

 

[Vamphuntr]

I have some Tsilon invites if someone needs it. Wonder when they will put back new perks since all the ones up there are depleted.

I sold one for less than retail and still made money, I decided I didn't want the console anymore after realizing the games I'd really want won't be out for a long time

Not till February.

Not the Wii Us, nope

 

[BigJonsson]

No regrets with our Wii U. We've had a lot of fun with it and will have 600 hours of MonHan in by the time the first price drop hits. But the Wii U release schedule is horrendous for most people. Thank goodness for 3DS Q1.

What is coming out for 3ds soon? I've only played 3 games in the year I've owned it......just borrowed Res Evil from a friend though

Fire Emblem!

 

[zroid]

3DS is looking pretty fantastic over the next couple months. Fire Emblem, Etrian Odyssey IV, and Brain Age in Feb, with Monster Hunter, Luigi's Mansion 2, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, and Castlevania in March.

 

[Yawnier]

Fire Emblem in 2 weeks (already mentioned) and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon at the end of March.

There is also Etrian Odyssey IV at the end of February, if you're into that series.

There's a wave of JRPGs coming for 3DS

 

[EvilMario]

For me it'll be Fire Emblem, Etrain Odyssey 4, Monster Hunter, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, and Luigi's Mansion by the end of March. Other games coming out 'soon' would be HarmoKnight, Devil Survivor, Project X Zone, Castlevania, Animal Crossing, Brain Age, Ace Attorney 5, Pokemon XY. Not to mention a long list of potential titles without localization announcements yet and the random stuff that pops up on eShop.

We 19 retail 3DS games (20 if you count our two copies of Mario Kart) and even more eShop content than that. Given that you have only found 3 games to play on the system, that release list might not appeal to you quite as much as it does to me.

Luigi is out in March? Crap.

 

[EvilMario]

March 24. It's going to be a crazy month. I'm glad I stocked up on those $60 FS giftcards.

 

[BigJonsson]

Out of all of those I'll maybe get Castlevania =/

 

[Socreges]

Fire Emblem, dude.

 

[Sora_N]

So far I'm just planning to get Ni no Kuni (Wizard's, ordered already), Fire Emblem Animal Crossing and Last of Us. I'm not sure about Metal Gear Rising yet, and Luigi may have to wait. :/

 

[enzo_gt]

I could've swore that when people asked one of the Misters or a rep from tsilon if tsilon was just a subsidiary of FS/BB and they said something to the tune of "nope, that's be too easy, try harder." And that FS is simply the vendor they chose to partner with.

 

[EvilMario]

I'll buy the ones I listed, but MonHan is going to have more playtime than all of those combined.

 

[Rubius]

Thanks - I almost bought - I clicked and then cancelled. At 80ish dollars with tax, I still can't bring myself to pay that much for it. I'll hold out for a bomba price maybe later this year. Not that I'm wishing any doom on the Vita - I really love mine.

Same. I wait for a 60ish dollar price.

 

[Sora_N]

So I finally set up a TV on my desk recently, and I finally used my Wii after like 3 years of neglecting it. I need an SD card for it though, anyone know the best place to find a cheap 2GB (non-SDHC) one for it? The cheapest I found was $7.52 at NCIX, if I can't find another place I'll just grab that.

I seen 8gb for that price recently. Any reason why you want 2?
Here, http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000OF2F36/
8GB for 7$

He wants SD, not SDHC. 4GB is the absolute max.

Really? I'm pretty sure some people used 8gb on the Wii. Weird :s. And SDHC doesnt work? Damn.
EDIT:
Ah here we go.
The Wii do support SDHC up to 32gb

Try Kijiji? Awhile ago, I sold a whole stack of old SD cards and memory sticks that I wasn't using. Everything at retailers will probably be SDHC.

It's advertising. They're subliminally encouraging people to buy more games.

Ditto. I just won't pay that much so I can finally buy more games. I'm tired of moving games back and forth from the Vita to the PS3, but I'm not paying $80 - much less $100 - for the privilege of giving them even more money for some games.

That's really the only thing that's kept me from buying Disgaea or using the Vita for movies. I have no room and I'm not shelling out more money to be able to use it.

If the Vita want to stay alive, they better announce a price cut on the memory of about 40-50% or else they will die in a fire. I think they just want to be sure that, when they get pirated, that the pirates HAVE to buy a 100$ Sd card.

Wii U will drop by at least $50 by the time ps4/720 are released

(And wii u has more than 2 games worth buying)

They did have $20 off codes that were valid on some 3DS games back in June.

It seems Futureshop doesn't have much deals struck with publishers for 3DS games. People kept asking for a code for Fire Emblem but they never did anything.

Your best bet is their E3 promo thing they had last year. 20$ off games you preorder and you could use them on 3DS games.

Dear gaf, my based Bell overlords have made galaxy note 2's available at absurdly reasonable prices and I now find myself inpossession of one which will be on its way shortly. Any phone case recommendations you guys have?

 

[C-Jo]

Do any of the major retailers (Best Buy, Future Shop, EB Games) email you codes for PSN/XBLA point cards, or do I have to wait for the physical cards in the mail?

Guess I'll wait for E3 then for upcoming releases!

I tried to trade in SFxTK SE today for FS' $60 coupon deal but they wouldn't accept it because I no longer have the cardboard box that I'm assuming I threw away a long time ago. They want it because the actual game box doesn't have a barcode and has not for resale on it. Way to go FS and Capcom for something this stupid.
