That probably means that it's being delivered with the regular mail and not by courier. I was surprised when my two packages came separately today, actually.
Yeah, and a few probably lurk or read CAG as well.
If any Vancouver Poke-fan wants some free VHS, check the free thread.

Damn, I don't see anything I want there ):
I love that MW3 is $60 for this sale. :lol
I do, since no one here ever bothers to post a goddamn deal. Bitching about pre-orders should really be relegated to another thread.
Someone actually posted a deal? Give this man the $10,000!
Mortal Kombat for $29.99 huh? Finally a price I can stomach.
Good to see you post them here after seeing them at RFD instead of just complaining. Oh wait.
BTW Lone_Prodigy posts all the flyer deals every week here.
Kinda bummed that I bought Batman full price. I didn't really even like it :-\
Nothing really for me in the EB Black Friday sale... I hope other places have some better things.
Also, there are a lot of deals posted here. There's also a lot of complaining I guess.
But I think it's kind of expected with the crazy FS E3 deal everyone got in on. Other than that, it's not like we've had a ton of awesome deals to talk about anyway.
I can't really defend the ISP/UBB talk though. That seems out of place in this thread. Though I'm not complaining. I wouldn't have kept up to date on that if not for this thread.

Just contacted FS and BB about my Zelda shipments. They said that Canada Post won't trace anything until 5 business days after. Makes no sense to me since the whole point of tracked/registered packages is that it arrives and is confirmed to arrive. It's only then will BB FS escalate it to ask CP to trace it. I've done that before, and it's a stupid process.
Basically BS FS will not send me another game (one of them is LE DAMMIT) until they prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that I never received it, or until CP refunds them the money for their bad service (which is 45 days later). No matter what, I'm Zelda-less until at least November 25th. No steelbook either! My Purolator copy is happily waiting for me at the depot though. Why can't they just use a GOOD mail service provider??!
I don't recall ANY year where there were any good deals during normal celebrated events like Black Friday or Boxing Day. Best deals for games seem to happen during slow times.

Because good mail couriers cost significantly more money.
I think Black Friday/Boxing Day can be good for non-gaming things. But yeah... games deals are like rarely ever on the big sales days. They're always like in the middle of summer or something, when no one is paying attention.
If they don't want to see it off of your phone you can log into your account at the customer service computer and print it off in the store.
Canada post is $5 + applicable sales tax and there's always a chance the package will slip through. With UPS you will have to pay the sales tax and get raped up the ass in brokerage fees, Bond fees, invoice integrity fees etc.
I disagree. If it weren't for this forum and the UBB issue exploding earlier this year, I never would have grokked on to Teksavvy. Hooked up with them on Monday and I'm cancelling my Telus internet today - 6 bucks cheaper and...

they should NOT be charging you a tariff on a cellular phone unless someone misclassified it
HS code 8517.12.00.20
now, that's not to say someone won't misclassify it and you'll get hit with it regardless
You'll also get hit with taxes.

Ah okay, they have classifications and charge tariffs accordingly. Thanks, this was the answer I was looking for.
Hey now, I posted a deal yesterday =p

Sure that's with speedboost lol but I do, for whatever reason, get 3-4MB/s for the most part. Too bad my upload is trash, would like to stream.

Wait, don't you live in Vancouver? There's Teksavvy internet over here? =O Is this their cable or DSL service?
Thanks!
That's where the speedest server is, not where he or teksavvy are.

Yes, I know. I'm well aware that the server or bish isn't in Washington. What I'm confused about is teksavvy service. Last I checked, teksavvy was only available in Ontario.
I live in Vancouver and iirc, bish lives in Vancouver too
Teksavvy has been here for some time now, usually see ads near bus stops and in downtown.

According to their tool on their website, all I have is their phone service =/ I live in the Fraser area so it's not like I'm somewhere remote

The fact that the preorder bundle thing is only WiFi might be a sign?btkadams said:
well, i'm going to preorder the 3g off amazon just in case, and then maybe a wifi as well and just cancel as we find out more details.
I just chalked it up to SCEC being useless and incapable of securing a 3G partner in time for the First edition bundle announcement. I mean everyone knows it's going to be Rogers, is it really that difficult to get all your ducks in a row concurrently with SCEA and announce the 3G partner for Canada at the same time as the US partner?

I pay monthly.Takao said:
Yeah, unless they couldn't make a deal with Rogers at all. That would be kind of hilarious.krae_man said:

Interesting. I preordered wifi from EB anyways.
Seeing the speeds posted in this thread make me sad.
My only options are Shaw (blech) and MTS (I like them). I am on MTS, but if I want to get a faster connection, I have to switch to their Ultimate TV thingy. I don't want to do that :-\ I rarely even watch TV.
Speaking of Vita pre-orders at FS. I have a code from the Batman steelbook "debacle" a bit back. It expires on the 27th. Can I give that code away? I doubt I'll use it and I think 5% off $249-$299 is a decent enough savings to not let go to waste.

Hmm I just bought Zelda SS a couple days ago at Walmart for $49. Do they honour price drops on games?Wal-Mart Deals Nov. 25 thru Dec. 1:
How could they not make a deal? Everyone charges the exact same rates. It's just a case of Sony deciding which network they want and really who could they choose besides Rogers?
I'm pretty sure 3G is not being sold in Canada. The official release confirming the 1 week early pre-order bundles only stated that Wi-Fi was being sold in Canada, and 3G was being sold in the U.S.. That should have been a clear sign.
If you have a smart phone like an iPhone, you can just wirelessly tether the PSP anyways. That's preferable to paying for a second plan, IMO.

the 3g model is on playstation.ca, so it's being sold in canada.
I wonder if that price is a mistake, because it seems weird for a Nintendo title to drop so fast. I usually have no problem getting stores to adjust prices if you're still within the return period. If they give you trouble, just buy a new one at the lower price and return it with the receipt from the original.
That's just walmart doing a "loss leader" thing
