The Wind Waker bundle is $290 for some reason
For anyone trying to do the Amazon.com deal, consider this option if you have a friend in the States:
1) Send them an Amazon Gift Card through amazon.com for $60 or $70 or whatever you like.
2) Get them to buy two codes from amazon.com
3) They send you the codes and you redeem on your PS4.
They can use the money on BF purchases or future amazon stuff and you get the cards without the hassle of fake addresses.

My local shopper is having a Vita bundled with 8GB memory card on sale for $199, is it a good deal? Tomorrow is redemption day so I wonder if its worth spending points for that
I'd say that's a good deal, yeah. 8GB retails normally for $20, IIRC.
Does it come with a game as well? That'd be even better, but as is, a game and a decent card for $200 is a nice(ish) deal. Spend the $20 you're saving on a PSN sub and then you've got instant access to Soul Sacrifice, Uncharted, Wipeout, and Gravity Daze.
I got that message at 6:30am this morning and 10 mins later was emailed the code.

I am so late to this party, so US PSN vouchers are redeemable in the Canadian PSN store?

I'm glad i picked up on that Amazon deal and didn't wait for Sony.
I would have bought two years from Sony but they fucked up. Serves them right.
They're getting my money anyway

Dates for the Amazon daily sales. The other list was missing some games. I picked up Metro Last Light just now.
I'm thinking about getting the PS Plus for Dragon's Dogma, good idea?

My Superstore was sold out of Vita's when I was thereLooks like no Vita for me this weekend unless anyone knows of someone matching the 179.99 plus no tax.
I hope no one buys the Declassified bundle I saw at SS earlier.
oh shit you know what I just realized. I COULD HAVE PICKED UP THE WHITE VITA. It was right there, the Liberation bundle. oh god fuck I'm so stupid. It's probably gone now. FUCK.
Ugh... Just got home from work... Freaking nightmare.
I'm also logistics, but got stuck on Electronics Cashier first thing in the morning (brilliant decision there).
Anywho, my Target at least has been substituting the 4th Gen 16GB iPod Touch that was sold out (for $129) with the 5th Gen 16GB iPod Touch for the same price (so instead of $70 savings, people were getting $170 savings).

I was able to snag a copy of Diablo III for PC at my local Walmart (Ancaster) for $20 yesterday. The discount doesn't seem to be store wide, but keep your eyes peeled for such shenanigans (PC games section had all sorts of weird pricing). If you so happen to live in Ancaster, hurry, because there's one left, and I may just go back and pick it up later
And it seems Amazon is looking to be competitive with PSN digital pricing. Fingers crossed we will get close to PC sale prices. Sly 4 is 75% off there at the moment.

I believe it was done by around 1:30PM EST because I tried having my co-workers get it too. Too bad.
Damn that's awesome.

So, the PSN deal still hasn't appeared anywhere in Canada despite a Sony rep saying it would? :/

Does anyone know if US 3DS download codes work in Canada?
I want to buy a Zelda download code off someone but not sure if it'll work.

Doesn't work like that.
Also I just got my amazon email for my credit after purchasing BF4 and PS+. Can we redeem these codes on our Canadian accounts or do we have to sell them to our American neighbours?

Yeah those are fine.
Edit: Nevermind. It was a refurbished product I was looking at.
Edit 2: Still, http://www.staples.ca/en/Samsung-MZ...SD-25-REFURBISHED/product_304134_2-CA_1_20001 $149 for a Samsung 250GB SSD isn't too bad.
Edit 3: Ohh, Newegg has them all on sale. $159 for the 250gb. I wonder if Staples will price match it, or if they won't since it's a Black Friday sale.

I was able to redeem my first one easily enough, having an issue redeeming my second though. Tried to redeem it right after and it's giving me an error. I'm attributing this to the PSN issues though, will try again tomorrow.
I remember reading that it does, you just have to redeem the code during the promotion.
About the PS+ Amazon deal, so it works for us Canadians as long as we input US addresses? Am I right on that? I'm also hearing something about using gift cards instead of a credit cards. What exactly is the process people are using? These codes are also time sensitive right? They're only valid as long as the deal is in effect? I want to hop on this deal but I don't want to get burnt over legal issues or whatever the case maybe.

I've been buying digital downloads off Amazon US with my Canadian credit card using a fake US billing address with no problems for the past year.

Say hello to the world's only XBox One Day 7 Edition:
Easier way to do it:
Use your own account, put in your credit card number, put in a random US address for billing (I used a Delaware museum lol). Success.

The jerks didn't even have Wind Waker HD on their site. At all. Unless you wanted to buy the Wii U bundle, anyway, which I didn't. Hell, until earlier today A Link Between Worlds wasn't even on the site. And there's no way I'm going all the way out to an actual store to save $15 on a Zelda game when I've never managed to play any Zelda-esque game for more than a few hours (which, to be fair, is just Ocarina and Darksiders).
I got a "credit card not accepted due to billing address mismatch" last time I tried cross border shopping like this. I believe mastercard put a stop to it.
Amazon.ca has a bluray blowout. Some of it's nice.
http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0036EH3U2/
Full BSG Bluray for $100? Pretty fucking great.

I just was able to complete the Amazon.com deal using the method outlined in this thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=724783&highlight= without incident. Sony trolled people HARD with the implication of the 29.99 deal being available on SEN (just been confirmed that it's not).
Does having a Visa instead make a difference?
