I'm thinking of getting this since i really need a balance board and i'm not liking the used prices. Any reviews of this?
Sucks couldn't get any of the used 3ds games

That's my plan too, I doubt I'll play it that much either!
That's refurbished, right?
I assume they rubbed the footprints off before selling them lol
I ordered both games too, but they gave me an estimated delivery on Friday, the trade in offer should be expired by then
I ordered Project X Zone used from BB and got it today, turned out to be a limited edition, with poster, art book and a sealed soundtrack
I'm even thinking about keeping it or maybe trading the game in without those extras lol , is it even a good game?gwynplaine

if you're buying enough stuff you might as well stack up the coupons and promos and refer a new account for your spouse or family member. then you get $25 for your account that's strings free and $25 for the new account that you can use on purchases $100 and above. the paypal one is good for any account on purchases $75 and up.
they put a whole video explaining the paypal promo too cause it was confusing as hell.
there's no confirmation screen after it says that you'll go to a confirmation screen... that's how i ended up getting a guitar the first time around a few pages back. didn't bother cancelling and kept it though since it only cost me about $30.
Yeah, used. I doubt you can even find a good deal of this since mostly the price is way overpriced.
I guess? I haven't checked the item yet since I'm planning to buy this on Friday to use the 10% off on used product using edge card and then another 10% off on claiming your pre-order(still can't pre-order wii fit meter in-store!).

I'll check my EB and see, the Wii Fit U trial should be releasing in a few days I guess!

Well you bought a WWE game so you have no one to blame but yourself
Oh, you!
I got it today. Which is weird since I also live in Toronto (Scarborough). Might have to do with it being the WiiU version. I usually get mine day of too.

You guys don't carry PC games. What gives?
I had the balance board and used it in a few games. I sold it off as part of the Wii Fit bundle. I couldn't justify keeping it when people were willing to pay me $100.
I received my Future Shop Wii Remotes.
They aren't the newer Wii U branded packaging, but they are virtually identical to the current models. This is the best deal I have seen for Motion Plus remotes. Anyone looking for a little colour and needing remotes should grab them while they last.

I have detected three minor differences between these and the Wii U "version". The clamp on the wrist strap says "Wii", while the newer one says "Nintendo". Also, on the rubber jacket where it covers the power button, it is just an empty circle. On the newer one, a power button and the word "power" is moulded in to the rubber. Finally, the sync button under the battery compartment now extends to the rear of the remote, so you can press without opening the battery.

Anyone see Sonic Lost World Wii U in stores yet in Toronto? I am planning on using my $60 Best Buy card.

Personally as a PC gamer, I thought Steam had most gamers covered, and really we're just focusing on getting a constant stream of console games. Once we climb that hurdle, we can look towards things like PC.
I know right this sucks
The Collector's Edition of Tales of Symphonia Chronicles is now available on EBGames.ca!

Thank you! I've been checking for that every few days.
You're very welcome!
I've been doing the same, I was beginning to think we'd never get it. I was relieved to see it finally become available.
Are there any stores that carry 3DS XL circle pad pros? I bought Monster Hunter when it was on sale, and I'm going to grab Revelaitons since it's currently on sale, so it seems like a good time to invest in the Frankenstick. Amazon just has pricey imports. I guess as a last resort I can order one from Nintendo's online store.
As a follow up, Revelations will won't fit on my 4 GB SD card. Any suggestions for a good SD card to use with my 3DS would be appreciated.

I don't think that the Circle Pad Pro XL has been released in NA - Japan and Europe only...
As to an SD card, any will do in my experience. Faster cards cost more, but I haven't noticed any card speed related issues with mine, and I just use the cheapest I can find...

I don't know if they will ARRIVE on release date, but they should definitely ship by release date.
That deal is FAR too good to ever make it north of the border unfortunately
We already had that deal at E3.

EDIT: Oh wait, my bad, you said XL Circle Pad Pro. The one I linked to was the 3DS OG circle pad pro attachment.
Wish this was up when I ordered my two games, oh well.
If they ship on release, then I'm good.
PayPal promotion and ebates deal is still going I think. It's not too late to order.

I wish I could go back in time and change my Futureshop E3 pre-orders of COD: Ghosts and Battlefield 4 from XB1 to PS4. I had decided at the time that I would get my multiplayer goodness on XB1 because of LIVE. Knowing what we know now, I'm kind of regretting my choice.
I know that you can return online purchases to any Futureshop outlet, but I am thinking of trying to do an exchange given that both versions of both games are the same price. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks in advance.

But this one is in-store.
Plus, I feel like people have a better idea of/perspective on the games now, having seen more of them since E3.
Call them up and ask, I'm sure they'll do it.

I've seen a few people do this successfully and a whole lot of people strike out. Couldn't hurt to give FS a call and plead your case, and if that doesn't work, try to do the same in-store when your copy actually arrives ("I'm giving this as a gift to a friend but they got the OTHER console" would be a good excuse if they give you guff).
Only Nintendo web site sells 'em.
Can the paypal deal be used more than once?
I think I'd still have to spend $75, and there isn't really anything else I want.

Yep - I just called and it looks like it's ok to do. Makes sense since both versions are same price, same product more or less.
I made sure to get the salesperson's name just in case. Good tip on using the gift excuse on the off chance that they give me a hard time - thanks!

Just cancel what you change your mind on. Also in my mailbox for $40 the day it launches > having to go to a Futureshop//BB/EB to buy it.
Seen 'em in person, at Target, but not sure if they were official.
But I live downtown, broski.
Thanks as well. I lost hope I could get a copy. Amazon.com was sold out. I was contemplating doing the namco store again but they screwed up my Ni No Kuni order. I don't trust digital river for order fulfillment.
Hm, that's a good question. Try asking support or maybe our resident Shop.ca employee infinityBCRT can give us some advice. I was also thinking about getting a few more games.
Just wait til after Christmas and tell them Granny bought you the wrong version.
You'll have to go through Nintendo's part store if you want a 3DSXL Circle Pad.
