Lol, I saw a "new" copy of Epic Yarn that looked worse than any used game I've ever seen -- not only did it look more scuffed than a hockey puck, there were actual holes in the boxart. I passed. How is that even legal for them to call that "new"? No way do I believe that game hadn't been traded in and resold 10 times over.
They also sold me two 3DS games without Club Nintendo cards (even though they are both supposed to include them). =(
I hate EB.

Persona 4 Golden, Luigi's Mansion, and Fire Emblem were all 15 dollars on Tuesday.
Lol, no, Canada Post takes Good Friday and Easter Monday off. I'm pretty ticked, because I've had 2 games in town since Monday, and they didn't bother to deliver them Tuesday, sent them out for delivery Wednesday but sent them back to the postal outlet without attempting delivery, then sent them out for delivery this morning before sending out my purple 3DS for delivery. Somehow I got a notice card left for the 3DS in the morning (which I found in my neighbour's mailbox: lol, Canada Post for the fail), but then they didn't attempt to deliver the games till late in the afternoon. I was home the whole time of course, but like they'd ever ring my bell when attempting to deliver something. Anyway, I was able to pick up my 3DS tonight, but not the games, which the notice cards don't even say when I can pick them up (lazy, good for nothing, grrr), so I guess that means Saturday. Seriously, I wish Canada Post would just deliver my stuff to the post office in the first place rather than going through the whole feigned delivery attempt thing every time.

no deliveries for a long time...good friday AND easter monday.
I live in an appartment building and every once in a while I'll get mail for one of my neighbours in my mailbox. Three times now, I've had a neighbour give me some letters for me he received by mistake. Luckily we apparently have nice neighbors here, and nothing of value has been misdelivered so far.
Future Shop cards can definitely be used for prepaid cards.
I've been trading in games for gift cards, in turn using those cards for PSN cards for ages now.

Rule of thumb, if you are asking yourself if Canada Post takes a day off, then the answer will always be yes.

Any deals anywhere on an Xbox 360? Mine broke a year ago and I miss my XBLA games....the only deal I can find is Futureshop's 4gb with Kinect for $199, but I have no interest in Kinect 
Except for family day.
Because that's a Provincial holiday.

Because postal workers don't have families?
Seriously though, CP is a joke, I recently had a next day estimated deilvery package took 2 days to get to me. The package originated in Ontario, travelling within the same province shouldn't take 2 days ffs :/ And this is the second time it's happened! ;>>
Also I think I've missed all the recent sales on the 3DS XL? XD I went to VGP [in-store] not too long ago and preordered Rune Factory 4 and Devil Summoner Soul Hackers, but I still need the actual console ^^; I just hate the region lock, I want a cool design XL, like the Charizard one ._.;
Even though I was a few days lttp, I thought to check EB for some good deals. Ended up getting the Gears 3 Epic Edition. Was pretty happy, since I already had U3 CE and I2 CE. On a side note, the EB CSR kept on asking me if I wanted the warranty (5 times), but I kept on saying no. I so wanted to just yell NO, but I didn't because I understand their position, BUT SHIT MAN, TAKE NO FOR A FREAKING ANSWER.
Also if anyone is still looking for U3 CE, Heartland still has 2 left.
Now, to just wait for the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary LE to drop in price.

SCORED TODAY!
Grabbed Sin & Punishment for $1, Kirby's Epic Yarn for $1.50, and best of all, a brand-new copy of Chibi Robo: Park Patrol for $3!
I price-matched Kirby at Best Buy, seemingly was a lucky one as they said it was a specific thing going on at EB but they made it an exception.
Chibi Robo was a mad grab, I've been dying for a new copy for AGES!

Check stock on EB's site, call some places to see if they have sealed copies.
Luckily I was right in the area I was, I saw an opened copy at that price in the bin, that location didn't have it sealed, but called and told me the location across did, ZOOM!!!
You in Toronto?
You mean Tuesday?
Why? Everything is open Monday unless it's a government agency.
Really? Nice! I guess that means I can actually get some things done on Monday.
Actually, I think banks are even open.
Doesn't Amazon price match? A few years ago I remember e-mailing them about price matching Super Mario Galaxy with Best Buy in an order I had already placed, and they gave me some schpeel about how they don't normally do it, but then proceeded to refund me the difference. :/
Sweet, how much did you end up getting the Epic Edition for? That Marcus statue looks awesome.

I ended up with an awesome haul from the sale for only 12 bucks.
King of Fighters Collection
Chibi Robo: Park Patrol
Time Hollow
Prey the Stars
Touch Detective 2 1/2
Metal Slug 7
[EDIT] after a bit of searching on Google I now realize they had a bunch of other games I wanted but weren't marked so I didn't grab them. I may have to stop by on Monday.

$29.99. The statue is pretty huge. Bigger than I had anticipated.[/QUOTE]
Oh, that's not bad! For a second, I thought it was one of the $0.99 games on sale, lol. Last I checked the exclusive DLC was going for a pretty penny on ebay too.
I'm looking for a reason to play my Wii U again. Looking for discounts on Need for Speed Most Wanted U, Zombi U (I traded it in couple months ago after I got it for xmas, but I'm willing to give it another shot).
For PC, Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite. All Wii U stuff is always priced too high. Not paying full price for a port lol.

I am getting tired of people having a different version of "Until". Most places include the date that is written next to until...
I was waiting for the last day of "Valid until March 31, 2013." to use the 30 days PS+ that came with the new God of War (Futureshop). When I entered the code it said the code expired or is just invalid. Super...! Oh well, for all I know the code never worked...
