I have a Humble Indie Bundle 3 code that I'd rather give to one of you guys. I'll give it for free but it'd be nice if someone gifted me Faerie Solitaire which is $1 right now. The bundle includes the following games.

Crayon Physics Deluxe
Cogs
VVVVVV
Hammerfight
And Yet It Moves

EDIT: Gone.

 

[UberTag]

Yeah, so far the flyers aren't bad, but really nothing on the gaming front we haven't seen before in a non-Boxing Week environment. A little disappointing because places like Walmart have often/usually 1/2-priced their bargain bins (that said, do I really need more backlog?)

Pseudo-matching of US Black Friday/Cyber Monday offerings is going to dilute the Boxing Day bang for the buck this year. Seeing a lot of items marked down to the same promotion level they were just a few weeks ago.

 

[krae_man]

I can't think of anything I want really. I'll probably just stroll in the mall an hour or so after they open and snag some Blurays, and maybe a cheap game or two.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I have an unused Uncharted 3 online pass and Starhawk multiplayer beta. PM if you want it.

Not really looking for anything in exchange but maybe a spare Club Nintendo code or something if you have it.

 

[SentientStone]

Nope. I also went and called CS this morning to ask where my game is and they told me it's on backorder. Yep I ordered on july24th and its on backorder for me now. smh futureshop, this will be the last game I ever order from them.

Same, they said they will contact the manufacturer to see when more stock will be coming in. :/

 

[Zing]

Does Futureshop charge at time of order or time of shipment?

Shipment

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Corsair HS1 and HS1A are for sale for $40-50 at NCIX (in store only as of now). It's IMO the best headphone for that price.

 

[OrangeYouGlad]

Shipment

If you're pre-ordering something, that could be never.

Staples Boxing Day flyer is now live.

They boast the lowest price on Xbox 360 Arcades thus far. 4 GB standalone systems marked down to $99. That's $30 less than Shoppers.

What's the difference between the two?

 

[Popstar]

A is analog as opposed to digital I believe. I have the HS1A and goddamn, the microphone doesn't work well at all. Almost nothing but static.

I've got an HS1 and it works rather well.

I did a quick google and it seems I'm not alone. http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=94021

If you look through the reviews at NCIX you'll see the same thing with people complaining about the mic. It may be a quality control issue.

Just read that thread and well I have to admit the lack of lows is pretty shitty. Haven't noticed anything with my mic yet, I'll try it out.

We get what we pay for I guess?

I fully expect the shelves to be almost empty. Just like they did this week (or last week) with the accessories.

Hmm, I already bought Dark Souls as a gift for a friend, but I won't actually see him until New Year's Eve. I guess I'll return it tomorrow, and then buy it on Boxing Day.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Will Futureshop pricematch the 99 dollar 360 from Staples?

 

[SickBoy]

There's pretty much no pricematching anywhere on Boxing Day.

 

[firehawk12]

I doubt they'll PM boxing day sales.

 

[The Elite]

Hmm. I may have to head for Sears on Boxing Day morning. I want to grab MGS collection and GoW Origins collection for half off.

Here is the Sears Boxing Day flyer in question.

The Future Shop flyer is now up as well... right here.

 

[Deadly]

Might try Sears. Doubt they have anything good though at my location. Will definitely buy Dark Souls for 40$ though.

Also why oh why of all mouses did they have to put the G700 on sale?!

 

[Stumpokapow]

FS Boxing Day:

24" Playstation 3D Monitor $299.99

Looks like I'll be price protecting myself by buying a second one and returning the first one.

 

[Bruiserk]

I'm tempted for Rage and Sonic Generations @ Best Buy, but last time I checked Sonic Gen for PS3 was sold out at the Surrey central location in BC :/

EDIT: Just checked online and it seems like they do have some in stock, NOBODY STEAL IT FROM ME. Also, does amazon.ca do boxing day sales? (I doubt it)

Yes Amazon will do some sales.

Where is my Rayman Origins bomba pricing? I was fully expecting it for $30 ;_; May need to try my luck at Sears.

Sort of tempted by the Logitech C910 webcam at Staples for $60.

 

[The Elite]

I'm going to hit the big Sears store at Yonge and Bloor here in Toronto. It's a quick jaunt from my home.

 

[Entropia]

Only things I'm really looking for on Boxing Day is going to be a TV or a nice monitor, hopefully there are some good ones.


WTF - 43" Samsung Plasma HDTV with HDMI and USB - $299 @ Leon's?!

EBGames showed up - Rayman at 39.99

It's funny to see them try, and get outpriced on every game at all other stores.

 

[mf.luder]

Things I'm looking for is the cheapest copy of Rage I can find. So far walmart at 29 seems like it, unless sears can pull through. Also, the $99 Xbox from staples is tempting. Will try to line up for that. Got a guy on the inside at my local staples, hopefully he can tell me how many they received and if it's worth battling RFD'ers.

 

[Ricker]

Besides the input/output issue,do you like the set Stum?....I'm really tempted to get one at that price,just to play stuff like Uncharted 3 in 3d...and of course the 3D Blu-Ray movies work as well right?

 

[qizah]

Hm... too many games to choose from, I already have a huge backlog. I'm looking at...

Rayman Origins - $39.99
Rage - $29.99
SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked - $29.99
Gears of War 3 - $34.99

.

 

[Lothars]

Looks like Iam going to sears on boxing day, I want Street Fighter 3ds and MGS collection for PS3.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

I'm thinking about the 3D monitor. It's funny that the BB and FS boxing day flyers are the worst I've seen in some time. Nice to see that I got a real steel of a deal on my appliances thought (that's another story).

I might pick up another PS3 as well for the bedroom...

 

[TheExodu5]

Just looked at the Futureshop and Best Buy Boxing Day flyers...pitiful. Seems even worse than last year.

 

[crimzonflame]

Why the hell is Staples of all stores offering a 360 for $99? I got over $200 worth of credit at FS. BD sucks this year.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Haven't unpacked yet, it's a family Christmas gift for the missus.

Yes 3D Blu-Rays work I know that for sure. I did try the set in FutureShop and was pretty impressed by the simulview (for when you're playing a 2-player game "split-screen", each player can use the full screen). I bought Pirates of the Caribbean 4 to watch on it, and I'll be mostly playing Super Stardust HD (which I tried on another 3DTV, it was awesome) and Uncharted 3 I expect.

Use the $200 on Xbox 360 games.

Glass at mine.

Glass I believe.

 

[Spike]

When Staples says 'Minimum: 3 per store', what does that even mean? Okay, there will be at least 3 systems at the store, so they may only have 4 systems total, then?

 

[erpg]

Or three.
