Awesome thanks for the check-in. Since I bought the exact tv, can I ask where you price matched it from earlier? I paid $1499. I'm gonna stop by on Saturday and see if they can offer me the same thing you did.

NCIX had it for $1399.99 with $4.99 shipping a week ago. It's not on anymore.

The 47-inch version is only $1099, which I kind of want since the 55-inch is a little too big for my room. But I doubt I could be lucky twice.

They go on sale all the time on NCIX.

So I just got all the games I ordered during the after hours sales of FS.

BmAHpWS.jpg


-Just like Anth0ny said the discs and arts are in perfect conditions, even if these were used. The plastic of the boxes is wrinkled as hell though, just like he mentioned as well, but I'll remedy to this soon. :)

-Zeeroid was right too, I already removed the big fat sticker on the back and it was quite a bitch to remove entirely.

-I got scared as fuck when I saw the back of the boxes at first, thinking they weren't originals because of a dumb paper talking about trading used games they snapped behind. The relief I felt when I realized I could remove those to make place for the real box art was incredible.

Conclusion: Good fucking deal, all these games for 47$ and I'm a happy man! :D

OK, Update on the PS4 + Killzone + PS plus bundle on shop.ca.

It should go on sale around 7:30am ET Tomorrow (Thursday). Might be a slight delay but should definitely be available before 8am.

Here's the link to the page where you'll be able to purchase it: http://www.shop.ca/c/sony-playstati...ion-plus-pre-order:-ships-by-december-9th-201

Ship date says December 9th, but I'm told that is really being on the safe side, and it should ship around December 3rd.

There are no cancellations on this order.

It only comes with 1 controller.

There are also no promo codes applicable on this order. That means you can't use coupon codes like "SAVE15". But you should still be able to apply your $25 sign-up bonus, other rewards you've earned, and the $25 PayPal bonus.

Will there be any more PS4 titles added before now and launch? Was hoping to take advantage of the Paypal promotion.

Yeah I hated that big fat sticker on my used games. It only came completely off one of the 3 games I bought.

That's what I get for having an addiction to buying any Vita game that's $10.

Oh! How do you remove the wrinkles? My used Game&Wario I got from that sale is completely wrinkled. I also had trouble removing the huge sticker... The back of the box is still sticky, but whatever.

Ok, sorry, hugely off topic, but yeah, Canadian shopping. Semi-relevant.

I desperately need MINIATURE SANTA HATS for a project I'm working on. I need lots and lots of them, ideally like, pet-sized.

Dollar Stores coming up dry.

Michaels was suggested to me, but they only have human-sized ones, lol.

Any suggestions? This is urgent, need to find something today, thanks guys!!

doesn't the promotional savings not work on this bundle tho?
Click to expand...

Promo Codes don't work on this, so codes you enter like like "SHOPEBATES", "SAVE15" won't work. Actually they were working earlier in the morning so some orders got through, but now you can't use those. Rewards dollars (Sign up bonus, rewards you've earned) and PayPal are still applicable to this.

Does anyone know if this will work...

I pre-ordered COD:Ghosts from FS during the E3 deal so I only paid $39.99 for it. I don't actually want COD any more so will FS let me exchange COD for BF4 in-store with the receipt from the online purchase? I'm mainly worried that because I got it at a discounted rate they won't actually let me exchange it.

I swapped the case with a spare Nintendoland that I am going to sell anyway. I don't know what I would do otherwise. I wonder if the shrink wrap machine caused it? The sticker is also a nightmare. Sure, it will eventually come off with goo gone, but why the hell does it need to be so sticky? They should put it on the goddamn paper insert they add inside.

You can return it, but you'll only get what you paid for in return. You'll still be paying full price/the difference for BF4.

So they won't do a straight-up exchange? Meaning I walk in with COD and walk out with BF4 no returns issued.

I know I could return the item and get my money back, then purchase BF4 (effectively paying the 'difference').

Would any retailer do just a straight up exchange no receipt required?

Just sell it on Kijiji for $55 or something and pay the difference for BF4.

Edit: You replied. Walmart does take returns without receipts but they give you the lowest sale price. Also frowned upon if you didn't buy it there.

Sign up for Shop.ca through this ebates link and you get $10. That still applies I believe. http://www.ebates.ca/shopexclusive/

The whole Ebates cash back deal you've got with Ebates still applies though right? Users have reported cash back working for them, just wondering if it still applies before I place an order.

They'll do an exchange, but like you said, just have to pay the difference.

Uhh, Walmart sort of lets you do return without receipt for credit. Real big YMMV on that though, not to mention morality issues!

I see it as pending on my ebates account, I don't see why it wouldnt't be honored

They are technically paying ebates for getting them the customer and ebates is transferring some of that back to said customer (or how I understand it)

Smart way to get new customers and would look very bad if they didn't honor it especially when the almost $600 item has a no cancellation clause even though it does not ship for another month and most of the griefwould be directed at ebates

Seems like some users aren't getting it posted to their accounts, so I'm hesitating based on that. I already have a pre-order at EB Games, but I'd like to get my GF a PS4 as well, and this would be a great deal.

Ebates customer support is super friendly. If it doesn't show up, you tell them and they fix it for you.

That's a damn great deal but I don't think I need two PS4s right away. I'll have to keep the site in mind for my Vita TV and Vita 2000 purchases (if they ever come to NA).

Yeah. Just make sure you use ebates.ca (not .com), don't have adblock enabled, and make sure you click through to the PS4, don't copy and paste any links.

I think you can still get the shipping address changed?
Click to expand...

Originally I was going to be in Mississauga on launch weekend but due to work had to cancel. So I'd rather have the delivery take two days than me waiting a week and driving ten hours there and back. Also Killzone only took two days to arrive so I'm hoping I can get the console in my hands by Monday at least,

P.S. I do constantly think about changing my shipping address also because the taxes are lower in Ontario :p

We're planning on that. Just to give you some insight, we really only started selling video games for real in October, and we still have more to do. It's hard to get inventory so late in the year, but our guys are really pushing hard to get some.

Hmm I was going to use Shop.ca for CoD PS4, and Assassin's Creed PS3 (then upgrade to PS4). But they're sold out of PS3 haha. And there are no other PS4 games for sale. And I can't use my $25 rewards on just CoD since it isn't over $100. I guess I'll just wait until next week and hope that they add in some more PS4 games (hopefully Ass Creed).

The norm right now is that we only do pre-orders 3-5 days before release. There are some logistical issues we have to tackle before we can do proper pre-orders. Hopefully will have something in place early next year. For now I can't guarantee stock for PS4 games just because its so late in the year, but we're definitely trying to have some before launch day.

Common confusion. Our site doesn't show the $25 off. You see it in PayPal's transaction history

Just go the confirmation from EB Games that my PS4 will be available for pick up on the 15th. They are giving a 24 hours bonus for pickup. So instead of 48, you 72 hours ...
