I was at an EB Games today, and PS4 accessories were available for sale. They've been told they can start selling controllers, PS Eye, etc., now, but they may not get extras at launch. That makes it kind of tempting.

Shouldn't be 15? Since Sony are selling the DS4 for 59.99 :lol
By any chance, did you see a PS4 vertical stand?

Sorry, I wasn't looking. I wouldn't be surprised if they had them, though. As I said, EB was told they could sell all accessories now, so if the stand is being sent out, it'll be in stores.

If you pay attention they are already discounting the DS4 by 10$, so it's a total of 15$ saving, and the save 20$ on KZ:SF with DS4 preorder is expired already, still it's not worth the space they took on the flyer
Oh yeah. But still, you're only getting $5 off as a bundling discount, since the selling price of the DS4 standalone is $49.99 on the flyer.

Is that every Shoppers and they will be stocking and selling? Or is it just a few that are dumping some remaining inventory? I'd LOVE to get one for that price, but the Shoppers around here (Ottawa/Kanata) are abysmal when it comes to stock on the consoles. Is there like a flyer, RFD, etc, anything announcing it?
Wait, what? 3DS will be $150?

By the way Amazon.ca is giving you 10$ off selected PS4 games if you preorder 2 of them, just in case someone missed on all other offers, now you can save a little bit!
Can you link to the page where you found these?
Edit: nevermind. Was hoping to see some TV deals.

Taken from RFD, here -
What store is this? Staples?
It's in the flyer. Of course a lot of Shoppers stores don't carry all the food deals, so it's still no guarantee. Plus, flyer states 'while supplies last'.
Not a huge loss if you miss it, I don't think it's that much better a deal than the $300 system + more storage + two games + 10% back on digital games. Even if you don't want the games, you could sell the disc for a decent price or get an okay trade value on it.

Nah it's staples and you only save $5 off that deal. And don't think you get all five games. You choose one.
Oh lawd. I might jump on this, but I'm afraid feeling burned during the holiday season though I don't think it'll be THAT substantial. Last year when I bought a 3DS in November the only thing I missed out was on a free copy of StarFox.

So here's the thing, I'm temporarily moving to Edmonton for a little while, may be for a month or two.
I have a preorder of the PS4 in store and online. Since I'm moving to Edmonton, there is no way they will ship it day 1 there, would probably take a week. The instore pre-order, I won't be here to pick it up Day 1
EDIT: Anybody from Calgary/Edmonton area order the console online? Any ideas on the delivery date from Amazon or Future Shop?

Are all EBGames selling DualShock 4 early? If not then who are?

My Canada Post pick up centre is open on Saturday. So if worst comes to worst I will need wait an extra day for my Xbox One. I have my PS4 preorder in store.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Which 3DS is going to be $150 at Shoppers? If its the XL, that's hot. I have a friend looking to pick one up.
I still can't believe that its been over a week since Pacific Rim came out and Best Buy STILL hasn't shipped my copy out. Its been in stock since last week, wtf are they doing.

Bah I'm expecting even later than that because I'm sure Futureshop won't ship the console in time for people to receive it on the 15.

I'd get one if it's XL too; but none of the shoppers I have checked have XL in store. How they world I have no idea.
Yeah, I know. And they moved Killzone SF up to a Nov 4 release. WTF?
Flash memory has faster read times than an external HDD, I've heard of a few issues that are allegedly caused by that like slower asset streaming and longer loading times. It's possible that those issues had nothing to do with the HDD, I'm basing this solely on a handful of unverified claims, but that's the only concern I'm aware of.

I pre-ordered it online with Future Shop. I'm expecting them to ship it the day before, and realistically not expecting to have it delivered until Monday. If, by some divine stroke of luck, they deliver Friday, I imagine I will have to pick up Saturday since I rarely have any delivery people from any company actually attempt to do anything more than put an "attempted delivery" notice at the door.
Could you buy Batman, get the GC, buy another copy, and then return one of the copies with the original receipt to save $10 rather than being stuck with the GC?
Is this what they've done previously for console launches?
This is the first time I pre-ordered online. I have a console pre-ordered from Futureshop and Best Buy and they both deliver within 24 hours of shipping because I like so close to their BC shipping center, so it would be perfect for me if they ship it the day before.

Edmonton here. All I can tell you is that, FS and BB both ship from Richmond. They will try to aim for release date delivery and usually send stuff out about 2 days ahead. Which is the amount of time it usually takes to get delivered to Edmonton. You would more than likely recieve it on the 15th. But it's not guaranteed.
Wasn't the post game content and Pokedex in part two of the guide for B/W? I'd expect the same situation here. Only thing missing in the X/Y part one guide seems to be the mini Pokedex which basically told you nothing anyway and was kinda useless.

Well, that is a little comforting, but as you guys said, I wouldn't have any hope.

I think the only thing street dated is the console itself. FS tweet says stuff is hitting the shelves daily. that's why people are getting controllers and cameras early.
To be expected I guess -- I mean they're selling a hardcover version for $11.50. I'll flip through it and if it has some nice artwork and stuff I'll keep it.
Tried the PS4 at a Sony Store today. First the demo selection is super shitty. Knack, Fifa, Octodad, Contrast, Super Motherload and a pinball game. That's not how you're supposed to sell your next-gen console Sony.
I tried Knack and Octodad. Knack was alright, I'll probably rent it, it was simple but kinda challenging. It's super easy to die in combat but the ennemies are also easy to kill so there's a good balance there. Octodad was just weiiiiird and the control were a bit of a mess. There was some slowdown too.
The star of the show was the DS4. Great, great controller. Felt amazing in my hands, it's bigger than the DS3, the trigger are amazing, almost no deadzone in the sticks. It felt sturdy. Overall disapointed by the choice of games, really impressed by the controller. The console look nice in person too.

That seems like a pretty decent line up of demo software. I doubt Sony would want to show KZ since it's a pretty hard M rating what with all the brutal melee executions; this is a public demo station rather than a trade show.
