Thanks for the heads up on this. Also ordered Pokemon Y for $39.99 and the 800 RZ points. Will cancel my order if a 10% sale comes along and the 800 bonus points offer is still around.

I'm kicking myself for not ordering Pokemon when it was $34.99 + rz points. Hopefully it comes back.

What in the flying fuck!!!!!!!!!!Target: $10 gift card with the purchase of Luigi's Mansion, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, or NSMB2.
I might buy Luigi and turn around and flip the gift card for Pokemon Mystery Dungeon as well. If they'll let me.
edit: Oh, $50 GC with 3DS XL purchase too.
Fuck this shit I ALWAYS buy at the wrong time...wtf....

Bien de bonjour!
I'm so frustrated with the state of media licensing in Canada. I'm looking for a decent service to listen to music while at work, and it just doesn't seem to exist Spotify and Pandora still aren't in Canada because of the ridiculous licensing issues they keep facing when trying to enter the country. When will this change? How can we change it? This is getting ridiculous.
I've heard good things about Rdio. Some people prefer it to Pandora at least. Give it a try.
At least you can listen to music at work. But I know what you mean. I don't think alot of other people really care though. You don't really see alot of people complain about it (probably because the majority of people pirate their music).
What about using a vpn?

We have no idea if they will cut the price this summer.
Are there any more games for it that you currently want and can you afford it at the $330 price?

I wouldn't personally until after E3 at least.

The bundle is a great deal in my opinion.
Currently, the Wii-U games that are worth it (IMO) are:
-Nintendo Land (free in the bundle)
-ZombiU (same thing)
-New Super Mario Bros U
-Lego City Undercover
-Need for Speed Most Wanted U
-Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Do you want to play most of those games? If so, go for it. If not, you might want to wait until more games interest you.

don't do it. seriously.
its 199 at costco for normal version and zombiU is on sale for 20~30.
i don't think its worth it.
I'd need to root my phone to access it from mobile.
The mobile interface is terrible. If I search for an album, I'll get 50+ songs for that album, and I have to sift through varying levels of quality to find the right ones. It's too cumbersome for a $10/mo service.

Really depends if he's interested in Nintendo Land, more storage space, the Classic Controller and the charging cradle.
I personally think it's worth it (I have a basic bundle and I'd really like the storage, cradle and controller. I also bought Nintendo Land separately), but I can see why it might not be a good deal if you don't want all those things.
Jacksonlee
Member
that's true. although i understand the merits in that, i personally dont want any of those things, so ... it really works out whatever you want.

I'm hanging in there for now. Since I live by myself and the fact that I do not know anybody here,
1. I need to make friends.
2. I need to learn French.
Those two are kinda linked to each other too.

Montreal here, but most likely going to Toronto or Vancouver for studies this fall.

listen to the mad man
I don't really use this kind of thing (back when I needed something like it, I used Audiogalaxy to stream from my home collection to work) but all of my friends who do use Rdio, so you might try that.
Yeah I'm trying it out right now. Well, I was until I broke my headphones.
Now I need to buy some epoxy.
Anyone remember if it was listed that it was 800 RZ points when there was the $5 off? I preordered both games for $34.99, can't remember if there were points listed.

At that price it's definitely worth it, you get so much stuff for less than what everyone else paid at launch.

IMO if you want to play it now, buy it. Don't buy it and let it sit there and collect dust until there's a sale/price drop.
If you wait it'll be cheaper.

I use Slacker Radio
Rdio isn't bad, I've been subscribed for a few months now. The mobile app recently got a major update and it's pretty decent beyond a few annoyingly no-brainer oversights in functionality.
Don't feel too bad, was sold out real quick. At least in my area.
This is likely for most locations, as Friday was the nation wide official "Grand Opening".
Oooh. Fellow London Gaffer.

Hey man, if you need help, holla, I'll help you out, show you the town.
When I was out on Friday, the Target at Victoria Park and Danforth was fully stocked with Luigi's Mansion, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and a bunch of Red / Blue 3DS XLs. Maybe not now though.
if your work computer has Firefox or Chrome, you can use MediaHint to access Pandora.
