FInally went through! I wanted to get Jurassic Park on bluray too but it was sold out. Didnt want to try navigating the site because its so slow so paid for the shipping....
I dont think its extended. Just the steelbook bluray for $10.
Lucky guy. Twenty minutes and can't even view my cart.
ah ok. damn that's a good price, 'specially for the steelbook. but I want the extended ;_;
Was it the same code? If not can you post it?

Where's the $24 FE:A? All I see in my cart is the $38
Amazon is waiting for the worst (west) coast to flip over to midnight I believe.
Where are you from, soldier?
Wasn't the same, and it was a one time use code, sorry!
Need to check my mail.

These are generic I believe. Just add them to your account (as gift cards, not as promo codes).
Login at SHOP.CA, choose "Redeem Gift Card" under your member information button in the upper right hand corner of the page.

You're right, I was able to redeem both codes. Thanks for posting those.

C'mon Vita memory card deals.
Let's not make this weekend a total disaster!

Yeah, I wish. Gamestop down in the US has 32GB for $40 and 16 for $20. They constantly go on sale, just never in Canada.

They did, but they already sold out. :/
I was perfectly fine paying some shipping costs if it meant finally getting a larger card. I don't get what Gamestop Canada doesn't have the same deal going.
I really need one before Feb, since a whole shwack of awesome Vita games are coming out then.

I should probably say starting then.
I was thinking of Dangan Ronpa, Toukiden, FFX & X-2 HD, Demon Gaze, and maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe Conception II.
(Not to mention Ys, which just came out.)

Probably, but it's still a pretty sweet get for the Vita.
I truly feel like the system is just starting to tap into it's potential, and I want to support it as much as I can. I am so hyped for Dangan Ronpa, it's not even funny.
No problem. These codes will work for everyone, so anyone planning to buy from Shop.ca should use them now for a free $15. Make sure to redeem them from "redeem gift cards".

What're the chances Christmas and Boxing day sales are better?
Yeah, but then you're giving money to VGP.

Who knows.
It's pretty disparaging to see the vast difference in deals offered just south of the boarder, even worse when retailers are trying to disguise their regular "deals" as something special just so they can ride on the coattails of their US counterparts.

I just picked up Amazing Spiderman and Lego Batman 2 on FS for Wii U, $39 shipped.
Will go nicely with my son's Wii U I grabbed from SDM for $250 and Lego Marvel that was $30 at Wal Mart. Santa is a very nice man.
I have all the must have Wii U games that are appropriate for his age already so he's got SM3DW, Pikmin 3, Wonderul 101 etc.

This has been rampant. Either it's gotten worse (I concede it's always been a matter of course) or I've just become more aware of it.
I didn't even think about it earlier, but it's one penny under the free shipping threshold. Kinda scummy
What's wrong with VGP? I've only bought from them once or twice but there was nothing about the transaction that seemed bad. It was through Amazon though so maybe there's that.

Where can I get the extended battery for the Wii U Gamepad in Canada?
Do people recommend the Nintendo or Nyko one?
I can't find either online.

Can't be fussed to look through them, but I was talking about the ridiculous deception from Canadian (and probably American) retailers. Flyers from lots of different stores would have their regular prices but dressed up as Black Friday Blowouts, hoping that enough people are ignorant to what something normally goes for. Mind you, it probably did work. If someone doesn't know what the value of something is, they can be easily tricked by gimmickry.
Well, yeah, that's been Black Friday and Boxing Day's schtick for years now. 3 year old model / special low end model of high end item (usually tv) in limited quantity and then some high margin items at a deep discount and then maybe 1 or 2 actual good deals sprinkled throughout.
E3 is our Boxing Day / Black Friday for games now and I'm more than happy with that. 33% off every game year-round is a lot better than picking up old games for 33% off at the end of November like the US gets.
