Has it been confirmed that all EB Games are selling PS4 accessories as of today?
I was not expecting Killzone but I was expecting more than indy titles and Knack... Driveclub or Need for Speed would have been nice.

I don't know about all of them, but I was told stores received a notice saying that they're allowed to sell any PS4 accessories they receive.

Just called a few stores in GTA. They said that they're selling all accessories and games as they arrive.
So far, they've only received Dualshock 4. More to come. Going to buy it and try it!
And remember, 10% off everything at Stooples the next two days.

Yep, just got it and no dex in sight.
It is a lovely package though; the book is pretty and it comes with a XY screen-cleaning cloth (Xerneas and Yveltal on one side and the starters on the other) and a tiny poster of the map (the inside of the sleeve also has the map, go figure).
I got it for $17 at Game Shack in Toronto.
It'll be good for whenever I go back to the hospital, I can always use new gaming reading material.
Which is rare for me nowadays (R.I.P Nintendo Power :'( ).I mentioned I may have an extra PS4 preordered. Just PM if you want to discuss deets.
Hate to be that guy, but PS3 has been out for years man... You got robbed!
That's fcking expensive! Next-gen is finally here :lol

Wii U next gen confirmed
Yeah yeah, edited. I'm sick, leave me alone =p
I was at the Sony Store at Richmond Centre. There was a PS4 on display as well, but nothing worth playing. The DS4 really is quite nice, and there was a DS3 on a charging cradle right next to it on the same platform so I could compare.
There was a photographer next to the PS4 taking shots of the TV displaying the PS4 kiosk interface, he didn't seem to be Sony staff, but the sales staff didn't seem to mind.

It's OG; though with 20x points, you could say it's almost $60 off for anything if you just buy some games along with it. So Wii U basic will be $140; Vita will be $120. Buy I want an XL. Nintendo has them refurbished for $150; has anyone actually seen someone buying a refurbished system from Nintendo? I don't want them to ship me one with scratches on the screen.
A couple of my coworkers went out for lunch today and came back with a couple of PS4 controllers they bought at an EB Games in Kitchener. Those things are fantastic. I've never been a fan of the Playstation controllers, but these are a massive improvement. Can't wait to get my PS4 and try it out.

That's why I bought it too...sucks how there's no post game stuff. I'm almost done the game..ugh. It's only 11.50 so will probably keep.
I saw Chespin at EB and Mew at Walmart so shouldn't be hard to find some soon.
It's good. Real good.

Anyone know of any good vita sales? I nearly bought the madden bundle but noticed last minute no mem card. Lame.

Subete no aware
See if any of the Targets still have those cheapo bundles?

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Its on sale for $180 at Shoppers. Buy it tomorrow (20x points event) and you'll get 36000 points. 38000 points are worth $60, even more during bonus redemption events.
RFDers would have scavenged hell and back by now. I went to Target today and there were no Vitas at all. Not even regular ones. I swear, it looks like Zellers closing down there.

Ah, brutal. Figured I'd check target in Guelph but maybe not worth it. Shoppers it is thanks guys.

Check with them too if they are far; at least in Saskatoon I couldn't find much consoles in general.

I had a parade to be in the day Gamecube launched so I went to help work on the final touches on the float, then drove to Toys R Us a bit before it opened, bought my pre-ordered Cube, went to my car, put the Cube in my trunk, closed the trunk, realized I also put my keys in the trunk doh
Had to call my dad to bring his keys and then rush to the parade area.........
After the parade I jetted home and blew up the death star

Is it possible to buy the XY guide at Chapters/Indigo/World's Biggest with the online price (members are those with a Plum card right? I have one).
I can get that and refund it at Game Shack to get the difference back, but I don't know if in-store will go with their online price.
Edit: OH, and for those interested, two Ubisoft 3DS games are $10 at Walmart:
Rayman 3D (will hopefully track it down tomorrow)
Monster 4x4 3D (just learned it was developed by Ubisoft India (might be called Ubisoft Pune)), Pune did mobile stuff. Found a linkedin profile of one of the heads of the game who worked on two small DS games in "Ubisoft India", make that of what you will. If you wanted to know who actually made that, now you know. XD
Edit: It's Ubisoft Pune:

No I don't think you can match the online price in-store, stupid rule.

It's silly. You can ship to a store, but the store won't match its online prices. lol

Or Eaton Center Sony Store for that matter?

I was at the Eaton Centre (Toronto) Sony Store this evening. PS4 was set up, but I didn't see any Dualshock 4 controllers for sale. Store was pretty slammed with people, so I guess that VIP event worked. They got me too--decided that $20 off an already reduced $60 for a Harmony 700 remote was worth it.
P.S. I thought someone earlier mentioned the Front St. Sony Store was closed? Or looked closed?

EB Games in Montreal had the PS4 controllers and other accessories. The guy was asking me if I wanted to get one.
Oh that reminds me, when I was browsing the TRU flyer earlier I noticed they're having a deal for Arkham. $10 gift card with purchase (and yes they're selling the Wii U version at its proper msrp of $49.99). So if you're interested in a Wii U copy, that's not an entirely bad offer.
Huh, must have closed recently then. I'll check it out just in case anyway, it's on the way.

Thought the Eaton Center Sony Store in Toronto had the PS4 hooked up, right?
Yep. I preordered Batman for 3DS months ago alongside Rayman Legends as part of a Buy 2 promotion. Listed as 'preorder' yesterday, then come today (release day!) it's OUT OF STOCK. Plus I can't cancel because of that deal! Yessss.

So, I got to try this yesterday at Future Shop on St. Catherine Street in Montreal Downtown.
First things, the game too for ever to boot up, get running, pick a car, and start a race. Loading times seem to be bad.
Now the controller, I do not know how they can fuck up the 360 controller. I think it is the best controller ever, sans the D-pad but this one just felt off. The bumpers are aligned in a very awkward manner, my forefingers don't click the bumpers anymore, it is more like the middle of my forefingers do with the bumpers. The triggers, I think they are smaller. I do not know, something just felt off with the controller overall.
Don't even get me started on the vibration of the controller, not sure if it is just this game or not but it seemed to be toned down and it just felt different. May be I just need to get used to it, I guess.
As for the graphics, it all runs smooth, there was just one track you can play. I was more focusing on the controller, haha.
Now, how long till I can get my hands on the PS4 in store?

They are in some Sony Stores now, so if you have one near you take a look. I tried it in Newmarket on Wednesday.

Is the Dual Shock 4 supposed to be $49.99 or $59.99? Cause on Future Shop's website it still says $59.99.If you pay attention they are already discounting the DS4 by 10$, 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
I did the PS4 game + controller deal from them and I'm confused here.
