As long as I can trade games in for 20-40 dollars there is no point buying on the e-shop

You can say that for anything digital.
Well there are a lot of really good eShop only games like Pushmo, Crashmo, Crimson Shroud, Mutant Mudds, some VC games, and soon, HarmoKnight. A few great DSiWare gems too. Not sure how much you have in gift cards, but you could probably use up $40-50 pretty quick.

(Question was did you order MGR in January)
I am still able to cancel my copy that has been upgraded to the Limited Edition by Futureshop... (Which I don't like) so not even a charge for me yet. Anyone who got the upgrade has been charged? I know that a few Best Buy customers in this situation who have been charged this week-end.

WHOOP, shipped! I just realized that Canada Post works on Family Day since it's a provincial holiday. So if Best Buy is still processing shipments from their warehouse, it should get picked up by CP today. Delivery tomorrow is looking good for me!
Damn why is Futureshop so slow... I ordered in June haha...
But good for you! =)

unless it's on sale somewhere, both futureshop and bestbuy have them in stock
amazon.ca too...
huh? i was in best buy and eb on the weekend and both had plenty of persona in stock.
do you know what the case looks like?
lolI'm jelly D:WHOOP, shipped! I just realized that Canada Post works on Family Day since it's a provincial holiday. So if Best Buy is still processing shipments from their warehouse, it should get picked up by CP today. Delivery tomorrow is looking good for me!
It always seems like it's reverse chronological order, yeah -.-'
My bumped LE hasn't shipped yet, hoping I can still get it tomorrow. Don't think I could handle having Revengeance in my hands and Playstation Meeting on the same day.
Sorry it's really late but I forgot Tsilon reactivated the GLIST codes I requested.
Here's a Metal Gear Rising code I didn't use because I had it ordered back during E3. I hope it still works. FutureShop.ca still has the game for preorder so I think the code is good until 12AM PST.

Please post if you've used the code. Thanks

Quoting for a new page just in case.
Oh, wtf Subway.
They rounded my purchase up, even though it was a DEBIT transaction! I told the dude they weren't supposed to do that, but he just responded that the machines do it automatically.
I wasn't going to press the issue over 2 cents (this time), but THAT'S SOME BULL-SHIT

Every retailer is supposed to make up their own rules regarding the penny. They can round up all the time, they can round down all the time, they can round up or down based on typical rounding, they can change their prices... The only rule is that if they don't eliminate all the physical pennies somehow from every transaction, the government will take them away through a specific penny-grabbing tax.
Was this the federal government's plan all along? Force people to learn basic math skills?
I FUCKING WISH
Does that mean I'll stop seeing basic arithmetics on Facebook with claims that only geniuses can solve it? If so, abolish more pennies!
No, because the federal government doesn't understand basic math skills either. See the F-35 fiasco and the soon to be one about the navy ships they ordered.
I think the more important thing here is that you're eating at McDonald's two days in a row. Come on man.
Will they be hiring all over the country? Like in Toronto?

For the in-store positions yes. Ymmv depending on store and regional staffing needs.
Interesting, I'll look into it. Thanks Onion!
Yeah, just a little indie game from a small company called Epic Games, with the largest budget ever for an iOS game until the sequel. You've probably never heard of it
jk
ha look at all of you guys respond to my flame bait
I don't remember what the NES games cost (and we went down to the US to get Mario 3) but I do recall spending $129.99 on Street Fighter 2 Turbo on day 1.
They do enforce the skill testing question on winning a lucky draw no?
haha that reminds me, a few months ago I won a $150 gift card from some random contest, and the skill testing question was unusually difficult.
I admit it, I checked with a calculator; but come on, it was $150.
Same. My June pre-order hasn't been processed yet, as I could still cancel it.
Mine shipped an hour ago. Maybe because I'm in Vancouver and we don't have Family Day today?
Nah that's not it, my pre-order from Best Buy shipped this afternoon too.

Anyone know of any deals for Heart of the Swarm? Kinda forgot it was coming out so soon.

I know. I know. First time since late December. 10 hour work days and 8 hours a day renovating the bathroom:-(
Talking about nutrition ? Any tips for eating healthy cheaply and without hassle in Montreal ? Been through a hard time acedemically and relationship wise so I have really let myself go Nibs, coke, mcdonald's, just earlier today I had lunch at the 5 guys

Same here...
PS3 version is marked as Sold Out on my order summary. I know that it just states what it says on the page of the game but I still don't like it... Feel like I will get screwed somehow... can't wait to see the cancel button gone. Oh and the 360 LE is still in stock.

Try to start cutting out fast-food and anything that is deep fried/greasy? No pop/soft drinks unless you're okay with diet versions. Subway's okay, if you stick to the healthier menu options. Really the cheapest option is to buy groceries and cook meals yourself. YMMV though. But it's better to take small steps and work your way up the health ladder.

Not exactly. I have a $39.99 preorder of the LE which I placed back in June and it's showing out of stock for me as well. It hasn't shipped.

Welcome to Futureshop. lol

Well, I think that the "Out of Stock" on our order's page is just being pulled from the page of the actual LE visible to everyone, so if it is out of stock because they counted our pre-orders, we still probably have a copy reserved and there for us. But we see out of stock because it is for someone who goes to buy it now. I don't know if I make myself clear... haha!
I really hope that you're right. Eases my mind a bit.

Hi quadratic, thank you for posting this code
I tried to use it but it wouldn't work; it essentially says it is no longer valid. I may have missed if someone else ended up using it. I also tried in english website as well as french one.
Thanks for posting though
