Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
If you don't mind buying used, I can sell you mine for $80. They're in mint condition, used them for a couple of weeks when my audio receiver was broken and never touched them again after.
You're not the only one. Still waiting on it from a few days ago.

If you won a code on the 11th, I wouldn't expect anything until at least next Wednesday (the 18th). The lag time for codes when the system was working was about a week.
Got my AC4 Season's Pass code, hurray! If I were a more cunning man I'd have gone for the AC4 Gold Edition instead and traded my hard copy in for the $40 deal, but I've already gotten such a good deal on everything that I felt like other people should've had the chance to win AC4 instead. I wonder if UPlay does these sorts of things on a semi-regular basis? It's crazy that the codes aren't running out faster.

Shoppers and Target are prime places for surprise discounts/clearance stuff.

Do you even care? At $10, as long as it shows a picture, it's a winner.

Do you guys get taxed anything from PSN?
I don't at all lol, and my adress is in quebec.

Well yea, that's true, but it could be the most shoddiest TV ever. Don't think it would be harmful to put the brand and model number or something.
They don't charge tax on PSN.
I've saved a bunch of money doing that. eff you BC.
Those TVs actually have little Pikmin in them working the bicycle. That ain't shoddy, man.
Doesn't Ontario have the highest tax? 14%?

Why not just pick up a CRT that someone dumped on the side of the the street, that one's free.
12%, 14%, I don't see a difference there
5% is heavenly.
Not HD tho.

If your budget is $10 for a TV you probably aren't watching anything HD in the first place.

Don't bother, it's SIG. They always do these extremely limited deals for Boxing Day and tons of people line up for them. Plus all their locations are in the suburbs, so everyone just sleeps in their cars overnight. I lined up at SIG once to buy a limited-quantity Zen 32GB MP3 player (which incidentally I still have all these years later). It wasn't nearly as hot an item as some of the other sales, and even though I managed to snag one, a bunch of the other limited-quantity deals were long gone by the time I walked through the door. You can be sure that the first five people in line at every store will be there for the TV, so unless you can drive by sometime Christmas Day and see if anyone's camped out, I'd skip it.

Nice so I'll be basically be getting infamous 2nd son for 59$ if I buy it online, plus I traded in killzone for 40$ and bought 2 20$ PSN cards(which weren't taxed) making it 19$ more
I remembered it was 7% no? :S
EDIT: WTF damn me for living in ON for so long. Stupid HST. I was in AB back in 05 and remembered it was 7%.

It's 5%.
BOXING DAY GO
Good luck people?
Woooow. That's certainly an attention-grabber and will get some people in the door.
Cause the GST was lowered from 7% to 5% a few years ago
Ontario's HST is 13% now (5+8); used to be 15.
Are you sure that TV is worth $800 more then the W802A? I mean sure it's a better TV but is it $800 better?
If this wasn't in Canada I would actually expect people to die over this from fights in the line.BOXING DAY GO
Good luck people?
Sorry buddy I was here first! Oh sorry, no problem bud, enjoy your TV, stop by for a beer later.
Yeah these sales would work better in Canada than in the US.

Thanks for the offer, picked up the one and only Luigi 3DS XL at the Davie location tonight.
What's wrong with them
