I think you get a free copy of Kane & Lynch 2 with Dead Island. Not sure if the same applies to DX.
Thanks to VisitableElf... I'd been planning to wait until it hit $20 to pick up Bulletstorm (and had been waffling on HMV's $25 price). Nice bonus to get it at $10 
EDIT: Would really consider Dead Island, but I need to wade through some of my ever-growing backlog. (and I'm 99% confident Deus Ex is coming on Christmas morning, meaning it only grows larger).

Shift 2 is $10 too.
Tomorrow's deal is Rayman, not sure if it's 39.99 or 29.99 (http://www.ebgames.ca/browse/ProductMerch.aspx?groupid=653)

Oh, you're planning to do the Futureshop game thing? lol
I haven't returned anything there in a while, but the stores should do the return without any troubles.
Basically. I haven't bought anything in a real bookstore in so long and now I realized why. Cover price on everything what the hell. Firestorm is not used to paying MSRP on things... If only final projects didn't get in the way of me looking at this stuff earlier -.-

You should tell your managers that the retail locations should charge the same price as the online store.I work at a Chapters, lots of people do this.
You're good to go.
The last thing I bought in a Chapters was the LotR trilogy box set in September 2001 and that was on a whim because I was driving by and I wanted to read them before Fellowship came out in theatres that fall. When I got home and checked the price on Amazon I saw it was a few bucks cheaper but with the old Visa trick I could've saved an extra $10. I was too stupid to return them.

God, I miss those days.
It was glorious getting $10 off every single purchase.

Ok so I just also found a $5 off $25 or more coupon for Chapters. So I split everything into three different orders. Also found out Plum Rewards are free and give me an additional 5% off. I used one account with the Plum Rewards to make two orders then I had to make another WITHOUT Plum Rewards because the discount made it so I couldn't hit $25 for the free shipping and coupon @_@It was glorious getting $10 off every single purchase.
This was the most complicated shit ever.
Store Order: $83.97 for 4 books
Online Order: $68.44 for 6 books
Yeah I saved so much money I had enough left to buy myself a book, an extra book for one of my cousins, and will be able to add an iTunes gift card on top for two of my other cousins... Yay internet!

Was that a one time use coupon?
Nope. OLDEC11. Multiple times per account even. I got $15 off in total.

If after the coupon you go below $25, you still get free shipping.

Ah, cool. They've been doing this every month? It's almost like the Amazon thing!

Yeah, Plum membership. I screwed up and they generated a new number for me, so I lose out on the 5 points or whatever that I had from before.
Yeah, I always thought you had to pay for it too. They should really call out that it's free. When you use Plum Rewards, the prices match Amazon.ca and with the $5 coupon it actually makes it cheaper. Chapters worth ordering from again!
The amount of free Amazon money I get each month from Swagbucks will probably keep me going there though.
You should tell your managers that the retail locations should charge the same price as the online store.
Bro, you don't know how many times I get people telling me this, and I agree with it.
You get 10 points per dollar. 2500 is the first redemption level, which is $5 off. If you really care, you could ask a store to merge the two accounts together or something to get the points in one account.
I always mention it's free when I talk about it. Makes giving it out easier.
For a second, I thought you were referring to Starbucks.

Overhead. Some people don't like shopping online / want their product instantly / want to see the item IRL before purchasing. If you want the online prices, shop online.

Rayman Origins: $29.99 (Probably your best bet for a while), one day only.

In store only.
Thanks. Does it open at 1 pm?
Over on RFD people are reporting that it was an error and will be 130$ just like all the other stores. Just fyi.
Thanks! Just picked it up. Ubisoft Christmas tradition continues. Prince of Persia for $30 on the 26th that year, then Assassin's Creed 2 CE for $30 the 24th of the year that came out, now Rayman Origins for $30 on the 23rd!

Steel Diver 3DS $9.89 at EB Games (new): http://www.ebgames.ca/3ds/games/steel-diver-3ds/309050
I asked my girlfriend, who is receiver at my local store. She said she was only given a list of the items for the sale, but not prices. She also says they were not permitted to view the flyer ahead of time. That made me laugh, since everyone in the world has already seen it.

Eh, FutureBuy manages to do this just fine and they have just as much, if not more, retail overhead.
You'd think management would get a clue!Bro, you don't know how many times I get people telling me this, and I agree with it.
Hrm, that's true I suppose.

Bust a Move Universe 3DS is also $10 at Bestbuy.
I'll try to grab it on BD or later, if it's still that cheap.
And yes, I got a red 3DS! I ordered the Hori screen protectors as soon as I got back, will hopefully arrive around new year's.
Gave it a quick spin, right now I'm using the sheet that was between the screens as protection, I tested out Diamond, and I must say, I cannot see what all the fuss was about the "blurry scaling", looked crystal-clear to me. What was the native-res command again?

Thats okay I guess, too bad my RZ certificate expired. Stupid Origins had a sale planned and backed out the day of. Never again.
It's going to be 50% off digital on 24th and 25th

Hold start down after you select the DS game, and keep holding until the game starts.
