Separate orders with a $15 movie each to get a pass with each one!

fyi most of the Ghibli movies and Pixar movies were 14.99 to 15.99 yesterday. They're all 17.99 - 18.99 now
Making multiple orders is the best way to go. You'll get a movie pass as long as one movie in your order is at least $14.99.
Has there been a sale on 32GB Vita memory cards? Like, $40?
Up! ran me $18.49 or something.
I don't know if I've ever seen a sale on Vita memory cards. Certainly nothing that good.
Thanks for the answers. I have like 14 things to get.
It's unfortunate I'm missing out on $14.99 to $15.99 but even the $18.49 for the Blu Rays seems like a great deal to me - especially with a movie pass.
It looks like SCENE is free to join. So maybe I should do that first.

Usually the only things that go on big sale are things that try have trouble selling the rest f the year. I really doubt you'd find a deal on a good cpu or gpu. You are more likely to find a good deal on RAM or an SSD.

Cineplex`s site is awful.
Sword in the Stone is the only Disney blu-ray we don`t have, but they have two listings. By UPC, one of the blu-rays is French. The other, and I searched the UPC on Amazon, is the regular English version, but on Cineplex it`s tagged DVD.
Pictures are all wrong too but that`s to be expected. Not sure if I should just order the incorrectly marked DVD one and hope it`s actually the bluray like the UPC suggests.

If you regularly go to movies at Cineplex, you should have a Scene account anyway.
IT's pretty nifty.chrominance

Eh, I dunno. i5 3570k went on sale at a bunch of places last year and that was a pretty good CPU. Also some i7 deals, though the problem with those is the motherboards are hella expensive. Still, though.
Best bet is to keep an eye on Canada Computers, NCIX and Memory Express. TigerDirect and Newegg are okay, and sometimes they'll have one or two great deals (especially if you can go to a store in the case of TigerDirect) but CC/NCIX/ME are top-tier.

Yep, and a 1000 scene points is a free movie, that is free everything, IMAX, IMAX3D, UltraAVX regular and 3D, etc...
All the other deals on walmart are live, seems like it's on the 26th only.
Urrrrrrrgh
I might as well just buy it from Best Buy on Boxing Day in that case. Order it and Wind Waker at the same time. (Wind Waker is $30 at Best Buy on Boxing Day, right? Or was that only Future Shop?)

I don't go that often.
But if I'm going to be getting 14 passes, that will probably change.
Though I have to wonder if they would look at these 14 orders and decide they're not going to be sending me 14 passes just because I split them all up like that to take advantage of the deal.

Only Ati cards are OOS.
Might pick up the HTC 8x for $130. Can anyone comment on Android vs Windows? Not really a heavy phone user so apps aren't that important to me.

Thanks for the tip. I'll probably order all Toy Stories, Up, Howl's Moving Castle, and maybe Porco Rosso.
Damn, last time I gave my scene card to my parents so that they could rack up some points they used it to get a free ticket. Feels bad man, would have loved to go watch Gravity in 3D with that one.
I just watched a Canada Post employee come to my house with a package (my Club Nintendo Platinum reward) and a letter mail.
He walked up to my fence, tossed the 2 things over it onto the snow covered ground (it's still snowing outside) and then walked off. The fence is nowhere near my door.
I hope Canada Post stops existing.

If you're very lucky, you'll find a store that will price match on Boxing Day. I wouldn't bet on it though.
Phantom edit: EB Games has updated, but the main thing I checked (Deus Ex) is unavailable online. Probably staying that way until Boxing Day proper.

Picked up Laputa: Castle in the Sky and Nausicaa for $34.
Nice, now I can finally watch these with my family.

lmao. Worst thing they've done to me is leave my giant poster sets in my mailbox for everyone to see.
So it might be worth the effort to stay up at midnight for EB's site? All I want is Deus Ex too.
Want Super Mario 3D World. I was going to brave Target when they open but I think the 5 dollar difference from Futureshop is worth getting up early/going to a store on Boxing Day.

Wal-Mart sale is live on their website. The good stuff isn't on sale yet.
That man literally won't have a job in a few years, there was a huge news story how they're killing off the door to door carriers, you'll have to get packages at a local pickup place.
Considering they never bother to even ring my buzzer, nothing will change for me.
Actually, I say that, but right now my buzzer is broken, and two of the three packages I've gotten recently were still delivered to my door, so credit where credit is due, I guess. It's like a Christmas miracle.
Hahaha, that's exactly why I stopped at my 2 purchases. When you start looking for things to buy just for the sake of buying, that's when you know to stop. But if these were movies you wanted all along, then that's money very well spent.
Cool, thanks for the responses on this! I'll keep an eye on the sites listed using PC Part Picker. Hoping for an i5 sale at the very least. I'm not going too high end on the GPU so I won't be spending that much there. If RAM and SSDs are on sale, that's a bonus since I want to grab some good stuff in those categories.
Sadly, target don't have a proper online site.
There's no online Target store.
Don't grab just anything because it's on sale. Make sure that you're getting something quality. Keep an eye on the Samsung, Crucial and Kingston SSDs. No matter how tempting the deal, DO NOT BUY OCZ. There is no guarantee that you'll be able to warranty them in the next year. RAM doesn't matter really as long as you get something that is 1.5V or 1.35V (DO NOT buy 1.6V) and low profile.
As for an i5 deal. Good luck. And the motherboards aren't all that much more expensive. You can get a good Z87 for under $150 taxes and delivery in. (And make sure that your sockets are compatible if you do jump on something. Z77 with Socket 1155 (3xxx series CPU) and Z87 is Socket 1150 (4xxx series cpu). Don't buy AMD, you're better off waiting and saving up longer.
Thanks for the advice!
Was thinking of going with a Samsung SSD because you and others have said good things. Kingston is another well-regarded SSD manufacturer.
Thinking of doing Corsair or G.Skill for RAM.
EVGA for GPU since their warranty and performance seem great.
Mobo will depend, but I'll take your recommendation to heart. I've had ASUS boards in the past and really liked them.

I always use points for IMAX movies heh. No way in hell I'm paying $18.99. Only other option is Tuesday.

So if you buy a digital movie, how are you supposed to watch it?
Only through UV on PC? cause I usually watch digital my purchases on Apple TV through iTunes and never used UV before!
Here's a round up of Boxing Day deals that I put together.
Let me know if I'm missing anything noteworthy.
Oh and Happy Holidays!

Thanks.
Just picked up an SDHC card from Wal-Mart for 3DS. $13.98 seemed like a good deal.
