thanks. Anywhere to get the same deal where they just email you the code?

Not a single Canadian store does that yet
Tried to get Wii Party U but it sold out while in my cart, even though it still shows as in stock it always tells me it's not available!
Got SM3DW and Sonic Lost World though!

EBGames web-only sale is garbage. It's not even all web-only--Tekken Tag Tourney 2 is a repeat.
Got SM3DW and Wind Waker HD from FS. NCIX is a bust, ME looks like a bust, but to be fair I'm not really looking for PC parts this year. Neither am I looking for a laptop, but if you are, worth checking out the Microsoft Store sale. Otherwise, I think I'm out until Amazon.ca refreshes its lightning deals (I have no idea when that will be though).

I was hoping for some serious Vita sales.
A sale happened for games like two days ago at BB/FS. Hmm hoping for PSN holiday sales to deliver.

I hear ya. It's not like I want a Vita, but now that I'm jumping aboard the PS+ thing, I feel like I'm not getting my money's worth if I can't take advantage of the Vita freebies.

hmm futureshop says it still has ps+ cards in stock but the add to cart button is greyed out...
It's a shame the console isn't on sale for a good price anywhere. Was interested in buying one.

Nope - red for me...are you sure you're not looking at the "reserve" button??
Cool. Does the PSN do the digital upgrade still for $10?
Not much amazing on the mem ex sale.
Fractal R4 for $70 is a great deal.
The 4770k for $70 off is hilarious. Since they upped the price by $40 the day before the sale
The gigabyte board with 4670k isn't a bad deal for $360.
Ram isn't on sale for anything less than normal price and the SSD deals have all been cheaper lately.
Gtx 760 was upped in price to $300 and then discounted to $250 (you can normally find it pretty easily for $250)
This sale is a joke.

Yeah, I noticed this. Pricing error?

Its not letting me add to cart.
FWIW, I just bought a game off the EB Games sale (mainly to see if my debit card works) and it was pretty much painless. Shame there's nothing much there, but I was a sucker for $30 Blacklist.
(Between November 7 and now, I've bought or otherwise obtained ELEVEN third party WiiU games. 3rd party relations aren't my problem anymore, and I haven't paid full price for any of them. Win/win?)

Win/win for you. Loss for the retailer and I guess the publisher? Lower margins after all.
It's on the sales section so hopefully not.

I dont think I saw it in their flyer, I would have remembered for sure.
Ended up getting Kingdom Hearts and Project X Zone.
I think I dislike having Black Friday in Canada. One week of better deals is better than two weeks of mediocre deals a month apart for me.
Oh well.
I guess I'm lucky there wasn't anything amazing since I spent that stupid amount on DVDs and Blu-Rays. I wish I didn't end 2013 shopping by going out of control but oh well I guess...
I did want to get a new laptop since ours is like 5 years old and falling apart but I don't really know how to shop for them and the unexpected $237.70 expense is making me not really want to look. I guess we need to hold out a little more on that purchase.
It's been a good year of deals overall. Even if there wasn't a super amazing standout for me there has been decent deals consistently throughout 2013.
Merry Christmas Canadian Deals GAF!

Some are gifts? If not, holy shit. 6 years worth instant.
I'm actively forcing myself to stop placing orders at cineplex.com. The boxing week sale mentioned earlier is insanely good.
Total amount of money spent: $186.90
Seven admit one tickets will be mailed to me, which equals roughly $91 in savings.
...so I basically bought all of these for around $96
Battle Royale Complete Collection (4-DVD edition)
Ichi The Killer (2-DVD edition)
Yojimbo (Criterion)
The Good, The Bad and The Weird
New World
Once Upon a Time in America (2-DVD Collector's edition)
Apocalypse Now Full Disclosure Edition (3-BD edition)
Memento
Monty Python's Life of Brian (2-DVD edition)
Robot Chicken Season 4
EDIT: Plus 835 SCENE points
Also, if anybody is an indie movie and/or Criterion fan, Hausu is currently $16.49. With the free ticket taken into account, you're basically paying about $4 for the movie after taxes.

Amazon.com could have been an option not too long ago. And no tax if you picked the right address.

Ended up getting the PS+ card but it wouldn't accept my gift card during checkout. Anyways, does anyone know of any deals for that Seagate 1TB SSHD?
I haven't, but I'm assuming the system is slammed and we'll get it later in the week.
So are you ordering these movies separately to get a free movie ticket for each, or how are you doing it? There's definitely a bunch of blu-rays I'd like to pick up from this.
Seven different orders. As long as each order has a movie that's 14.99 or more, a free movie ticket with automatically be added to your cart.
Keep in mind that the tickets are shipped separately, though.
The Ms. Splosion Man Pinball FX 2 table is currently negative one US cents on Steam.

They also didn't ask for my Verified by Visa password. I hope the order went through properly.

Tried to get Rocksmith 2014, but it was sold out
I bought the Ms. Splosion Man one for 75% off the other day.
Was a little annoyed to see it at 100% off. But yeah, seems to be a bug and it doesn't work so whatever.Cool man, thanks for clarifying, this is a killer deal!
