I forgot about having to buy memory. That's why I haven't bought a Vita yet. And likely the reason I will never buy one.
Hard to rationalize that the system couldn't have been produced with internal memory.

Yeah, the price of the memory cards is nuts and the core system doesn't come with one. I picked up a Vita during the FS one day sale for $179. I found used Vita memory cards at Microplay (Waterloo, ON) which were a little more reasonably priced (4g = $12, 8g = $20 and 32g = $60).

i need a laptop for school and to screw around with. might play some games, but i don't plan on running anything too demanding.
Dell's Vostro 3560 is on sale for $779.
i don't know anything about computers, but does that seem like a good deal? what kind of games could i run?

It has this: AMD Radeon™ HD 7670M 1GB.

My current laptop has a 7690M and it run games fine, but only if I leave some things off. (I just tested Dark Souls and it feels framey for me). I'm going to assume that they're comparable, and if they are, you should be able to run modern games decently.

Apparently the Animal Crossing 3DS XL bundle is a "Best Buy exclusive". Fucking annoying.

My friend who used to work at BB tells me they're only doing online pre-orders, but to be honest I kind of want to see for myself. The closest BB is like an hour or two one way by bus (so 2-4 hours there and back). I'm trying to figure out if it'll be worth it to try and pre-order in store, despite the fact there's a good chance they'll tell me that it's online only.

Anyone in here pre-order (or try to preorder) the AC 3DS XL bundle in store? Is my friend wrong or is it really online only?

Oh hey, Persona 4 Arena is FINALLY on sale again. $30 at EB.

Will buy today, as the 360 copy was never as cheap as the PS3 one via Amazon marketplace sellers.

Question: I'm looking at the 2 for $20 list of used games at EB, and I'm wondering which ones have Season Pass so that I can avoid it?
Click to expand...

If it's an EA game, it has a season pass. Seriously though I don't think the website mentions an online pass being required or not. I know Hot Shots Vita requires one and the used game listing doesn't mention it. I guess you have to google each game individually.

I don't have a credit card. :(

Can you get your hands on Best Buy gift cards somehow? A lot of supermarkets and such sell them, so you might not even have to make the trek to Best Buy. In any case, I think picking up $250 worth of gift cards and pre-ordering online is your best bet.

Not to discount the option of the new thread having something to do with pillows, but wouldn't a thread title with something along the lines of "Canadian Gaming Deals and Discussion Thread 3 (the last thread left us penniless)" kinda be funny?
