I think the T1 for $40 is only on Wii, PS3, and 360 games according to the ad.
If not, buy DK for $35 from TRU, PM MK7 at TRU for $29.99, end up getting it for $15 due to TRU giving $15 off any Mario 3DS title with purch of DK, turn around and trade MK7 in for $40 at FS. Profit!

I wonder if they'll be giving the $10 off in store too?
I saw the cloud storage when they added it the other day, but TBH, without offering MP3's and video DL's on Amazon.ca, I'll just stick with Dropbox.
That's an interesting deal, with Animal Crossing around the corner.

listen to the mad man
You'd probably be better off getting Animal Crossing at BB because they're offering $10 RZ credit if you pre-order.

Trying to go digital only with my music now, but I'm wondering what's the best music buying service in Canada? I don't use iTunes because I don't use Windows or OS X - I use Linux, so I want to avoid that if possible ... any ideas? I know HMV does some digital downloads for music but is there any other place?

Now we just need their streaming service.
(would make me feel better about paying for Amazon prime even though I enjoy being able to get free shipping on $10 orders)
We also need legitimate access to the Amazon Digital Download service. That way I can stop telling people to use a U.S billing address & not to worry.

Oh damn. So, I need to buy DK first before I can get the $15 off for any mario 3ds game? I will not be surprise if they will not include 3DS games since people are going to abuse this to get lots of GC.
If you don't need to "own" music, I would highly recommend rdio ... there's a free trial so you can sample their library and you can "sync" songs to listen offline.
If you pay for Premium then you can access it from any country, but if you go for their Unlimited package then you need to access it using an IP address from the country you signed up through.
I use Rdio now, but I've used Spotify in the past, and preferred it out of the two services. It isn't worth the hassle though, just use Rdio.
You'll need to sign up with an American IP.
You can use Spotify Free for a week with a Canadian IP. Basically, it's "travel mode". But if you want to use it longer than that, then you need to be a part of the paid tier.
So what I do is go to Target in the US and buy Spotify gift cards, since I prefer their library over Rdio. They had more Chinese songs.
One thing to note is that the Spotify iOS app is not available on the Canadian app store, so you'll need to perform some workarounds if you want it on your mobile device as well... (I didn't do this, since I usually just listen on my computer.)
Is the site reliable? I'll bite on RAM for 7 bucks.
Wonder if I'll be able to use that to do that T1 we're supposed to get at FS this week.
Yup. They used to provide the downloads for HMV up until last year. When HMV dropped them, I was still able to login and download all of my previously purchased music. I've been buying from them for years now.

this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
Just borrow one from an old folks home. It can't be that hard.
lol, that's my plan for now. I checked and it's on the T2 for 60 list currently up there.
BTW, for GTA people, NCIX is having some big sale at its Markham warehouse:
expect massive lineups if you go, but some pretty enticing deals...
edit: forgot to mention, it's on Saturday (9:30am - 5pm)

Is Die Hard 3 any good?
alright i'll check 'em out.
Die Hard with a Vengeance? I remember it's awesome. Samuel L. Jackson.
Probably the best one, just because of Samuel L Jackson!

I was making a damn Die Hard 3 joke, you know because he's always making everything into a racial argument in the movie. COME ON GUYS. step it up.
I haven't watched Die Hard 3 in so long, despite owning it, lol

I was looking into that. I didn't know about the offline feature. My only concern is I don't have the biggest bandwidth cap and my data cap on my phone is 150MB/Mo.
$4.99 for just desktop is a pretty good deal.
I bought the same earlier. Download was easy and simple. I could see myself using it unless I opt out for a streaming service.

I just saw it on tv again like 2 days ago lol. So it's fresh on my mind.

God damn. I'm working, but I might have someone buy me stuff, provided they have stuff left.
I went to the last one they had, like 2 years ago. I lined up at uhh, maybe 5 and was within the top 10-15 people.
People are scum though, the two fellows behind me had a group of ten show up last minute to hoard everything, then as usual, rfd style, proceed to sell everything back on the forums as if they were brand new when most of the stuff is open box/furbs.
That's disgusting. Sure, save a spot for one or two people, but I think 3 is pushing it for something like this. 10 is just terrible.

That's $129.99 for a 3DS and $159.99 for an XL.
Wow, it is a $50 gift card! So $20 off, a $50 gift card, and 55800 optimum points that are easily worth $100 at the bonus redemptions they regularly do. Basic model only, but that's so worth it.
