Haha, no, sorry, my original post wasn't clear. Costco sells the headphones with an AC adapter bundled for PlayStation accessories. The two together are $49; the price tag had just not been updated on the packaging still listed $88.

Yeah, they're the ones. I might just be too used to Skullcandies and Sony earbuds, but at that price, those Sennheisers are really worth it.

Are you sure it's the Elite? lol
Cause the best price for that was like $100!
I'm no audiophile either but the reviews were not encouraging! Plus they sell it for $20 on Amazon.com
I had to cancel a bunch of my Studio Ghibli blu ray orders. Apparently we already own all of them...
The first time I called, I was told the orders were cancelled for me and I won't be charged. They still charged me for them anyway a couple days later so I called back and they said they're telling the shipping people to not ship them and I should get a refund on the orders when billing comes back on January 3 (...a Friday?).
So right now they have my money and, as far as I know, the blu rays aren't coming.
All my orders, cancelled or not, still show SUBMITTED. And when I go into the details, all the ones that aren't BACKORDERED are PAYMENT SETTLED.
It's confusing to keep track of it all since I have multiple orders and am only cancelling some of them. It hasn't been fun.
I tried to order a bunch of stuff from the Nintendo store last week. This week, it's still backordered. I called them and found out that they were sold out of 3ds XL charging cradles, and circle pad pros.
Anyone know where I could get a charging cradle and circle pad pro for my 3ds xl? I checked ebay, but the cheapest price I could find was double what Nintendo is selling them for.

How is that price even possible for it? Going to have to check mine tomorrow.
What are you plugging in to?
Desktop PC
A desktop PC with no ethernet port? That is very very strange, all motherboards have Ethernet built in these days. Do you have more info? Does it need to be USB? Would an internal card be a possibility?
I'm obviously not the only one wise to these deals; just came back from Walmart and FutureShop and the Nintendo sections were cleared out.
In fact, every store I've been to in Vancouver and Victoria has been sold out of Mario 3D World, and most have been sold out of Pikmin 3. (Target, Walmart, FutureShop, EB Games and Toys 'R Us).
Hopefully that's a good sign for Nintendo. FutureShop still have Pikmin 3 and they do pricematching - would they price match Walmart's boxing week deal of $40? Might try that tomorrow.

I know, it seems ridiculous (and it is), but it seems to be the Elite. You will note it on the receipt as "PS3 Headset."

Why can't Vancouver GAF ever do something like this?
What's stopping you from organizing it?
Because
a) Nobody has enough motivation to organize
b) Nobody has enough motivation to show up
c) Vancouverites don't like new people, apparently

wow that's insane
Man I wish you put a spoiler tag on your post, now RFDers will invade every single Costco in the morning, in case they didn't do that already lol
Have you seen the Vancouver GAF thread?
In my experience, these things are completely true. You can't get people in Vancouver to hang out with people outside of their cliques. It's nuts.
I don't know where else to ask this. If you do, please point me in the right direction. Does this make a good gaming monitor? Can someone recommend better?

just managed to pick up a brand new splinter cell blacklist for 5 bucks for wii u. I'm pretty happy
Well as far as I know, we use this thread to help each other get good deals not to brag without giving any tips on how to get the same deal!
Not interested in the game anyway but someone might be!
Well you're not going to get anywhere with that attitude!
Our first Ottawa meet was just 3 people! Go out there and have fun!

okay gaiz, my house, byob tmr at 9pm
I've tried. Kills the thread as people are too afraid to post because they don't wanna attend. Just GAF too. Got along fine with meetups in my Pokemon community.
I was open about my paranoia.
Edit: And Crazymoogle has seen my face, although he might not remember it (I bumped into him at the DQ9 event).

I remember trying something before but people flaked. We'll just settle for swapping 3DS friend codes.

I'll come. Just not tonight, obviously. Heck, not even a CANUCKS-GAF meetup has worked out, and we already have a topic to talk about all night! And I've even already met 2 members of Canucks-GAF.

Vancouverites are anti- social? BAH! GAF meetup in surrey by my house...make sure you wear your bullet proof vests!!! j/k
To quote my friend who lives in Surrey:
"It's not that bad! Our house only got broken into three times. I had to pretend to be asleep every time while they searched my room. We moved now though, the first two break-ins were at our old place, our new place is in a much better area."
Unless I'm buying Fairtex stuff from Bushido, I don't have any business in Surrey. lol

Classic Vancouver:
Meetup scheduled for April 6th (planned in March). Smiley makes this post April 4th:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=52678083&postcount=1245
People start to drop out, someone asks to make a thread, no one does.
This basically sums it up:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=52844841&postcount=1254
But let's plan something on a Canucks game night on the weekend.
Possible dates:
Sat. Jan. 18 vs. Calgary, 7:00pm
Sun. Jan. 26 vs Phoenix, 5:00pm
Sat. Feb. 8 at Toronto, 3:00pm
Sun. Mar. 2 vs Ottawa, 1:00pm (Heritage Classic)
Sat. Mar. 8 vs Calgary, 7:00pm

I vote either the game against Toronto (because who doesn't like watching the Canucks beat the shit out of the Leafs) or the Heritage Classic. (Heritage classic is at 1pm? that's kinda early, so I'll probably favour the Leafs game)
edit: that said, any date probably works for me if I know in time.

Guess I'll swing by my Costco here in Calgary to see if they have that deal.
But, the better question here is, how is the miso soup? I didn't know you could buy it at Costco. I love me some miso soup.
I will show up the rest of Vancouver GAF by coming from Calgary to a meet up if you plan it far enough ahead. Girlfriend hasn't been to Van and I miss the Toronto meetups since moving to Calgary.

How many people would show up to Toronto meetups?
firehawk12
Subete no aware
The last one was the first I went to and about 16 people showed up. Quite a gathering!
Usually a dozen, sometimes they push twice that.

Yeah that's quite the turn out. Hopefully we can get half that many people here in Van.....
This sounds awesome though 3pm seems early! I'm in Oregon on the 18th for a Pocket Monster tournament but available on other days.
