did ur HMC have "backordered" when you first ordered it?

Yes.

They shipped out My Neighbour Totoro yesterday.

 

[Lexxism]

Just got a $20 off $60 purchase for Shoppers. Really wish they sold Vita memory cards :/

What? You got one? I still haven't got anything. What day is that for? They do sell memory cards but you're going a have time looking for one. I think 16gb is the biggest I can find.

 

[Ryne]

If you are from Vancouver, you can sign up for an American mailbox here and have the item shipped to you like that.

Pickup is at Blaine, Washington. Very close to the border.

I live near Toronto (in Brampton). Might bite the bullet and buy from the US, have it shipped via USPS and hope it isn't caught by customs.

I got it in the mail. They send me physical deals via snail mail every 3 months or so because I apparently buy a lot of stuff there. It's good until February 3.

Just wanted to post a quick Hello post, finally got approved to post. Just wanted to say Thank you fellow canadian Gaffers. Froms following this groud I have gome away with some great gaming deals the 2-3 months, and bought some things I probably wouldnt have bought i.e. price matched the WiiU zelda bundle at Toysrus and got it for 189.99. Also got in on the Uplay thing and got AC4, The seasons Pass, and Just Dance 2014 for PS4.

Thank you and Happy New Year

Welcome! Us Canadians really know how to sniff out a deal, huh? I think it's because everything is so god damn expensive that it's nearly impossible to buy things full price. I'll try and remember to add you to XBL when I get home.

Does the Namco store ship with UPS?

 

[Tsundere]

Does the Namco store ship with UPS?

Yes. It's Digital River.

 

[Swauny Jones]

Not much of a deal but still one regardless. Game Centre downtown toronto has all next gen titles on sale for $10 off ($49.99) Don't know how long that'll last but I noticed it today when I went in to do some trades.

 

[khaaan]

Anyone know where I can pre-order Final Fantasy X/X2 HD Vita? No one seems to have it listed, keep on getting the PS3 version.

 

[lupinko]

For VancouverGAF if you still want Olympic Friends you can get 4 for $10 at gastownphoto in waterfront centre. I bought them again since I lost my gift set in a move last year. They're bigger than the gift set. And yeah they're coming with me to Japan.

 

[Dazzler]

Vancouver transit isn't the place to play Tearaway on Vita. Game asks you to take far too many photos and there's no way to turn the shutter sound off

Seems like my laptop died. Anyone see a good deal on laptops for under $300? Don't need it for gaming, just school and videos.

Hey guys, just subscribed for a free month of Netflix and I'd like to know if there's a way to get access to the US Netflix for free? I've searched around a bit but I saw a lot of paying solution that looked a bit scammy. Maybe they're not but I just wanted to ask you guys first. I don't understand why I'm so late to the Netflix bandwaggon though, that thing is amazing

If you are watching on your PC and you use Chrome. You can use the Media Hint extension. Works great!! and free.

Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag Limited Edition for PS3 for 49.99 on Amazon

Media hint is best for PC the 5/month unblock us is best for Xbox/ps/wil/iOS and android. Unblock us also lets you switch between regions not just US and is very much worth the 5/month. Every region has some amazing exclusive content.

Canada/Sweden have the better newer movie selection, while us and uk have a deep tv selection. The only thing is that Sweden and Mexico usually have forced subtitles that you can't make disappear.

1st post on Gaf even though I have lurked since the 360/ps3 launch.

My buddy changes his DNS and watches US Neflix, he's in Halifax, he watches it on his PS3.

DNS codes to connect to American Netflix from outside the US (for things like troops serving in the US military)
 changed multiple times over the past few months, but here are updated ones:

{"dns1":"109.123.111.24","dns2":"192.95.16.109"}

and

{"dns1":"109.123.111.24","dns2":"190.14.36.90"}

I also use media hint btw, works for HULU as well.

As it goes with these sorts of extensions, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, usually they can keep up with the blocking though.

Try Newegg, Tigerdirect, or CDW. Staples might have something good as well.

Yeah I never play it when I'm out because sometimes I just can't.

Same at Best Buy for PS3 & 360
Seem to be clearancing them out.

 

[Kagey K]

No problem, I have been lurking long enough to know what is expected. I should also say that unblock us has a free week trial, so you can sign up and try it out to see if it's your cup of tea.

The only ones that you have to switch through are Sweden/Uk/Canada/USA/Mexico

The rest are redundant. Uk/Ireland are the same. Sweden/Denmark/Norway/Finland are the same. Mexico/Brazil are the same.

The Netherlands is new and there is not much there to report.

I'd suggest take one night and not watch anything during the trial just to see what is on what region, and then decide if it is right for you. Also go to off topic community and find the Netflix recommendation topic. It is very well updated and great for opinions and discussion.

I can't link it on mobile right now.

 

[Sora_N]

This is a totally random question, but I'm looking for Hunter Boot Welly Socks (Short and Moss Cable Cuff design or something like that). I only see them listed at Nordstrom's website but the $17 shipping and $8 duties brings it to a cost of $65, total BS.

I'm looking for about $50 after shipping or so. If anyone knows where/how I can get some that would be great.

Try checking your local shoe stores. If not, I have a friend who works at a shoe place. They definitely have them there, and she can get them at discount. I can get her to grab you a pair and ship them to you if you'd like?

 

[big_z]

just a heads up if you entered the win ever hour pepsi/doritos contest. they are still selecting winners, im guessing its for the re-draws. I got the call this morning.

I haven't ordered from them yet but I hear they reliable enough. Price wise, I think it's going to depend on what your looking for.

 

[lupinko]

I think I should invest in unblockus to continue using Netflix in Japan, since mediahint only allows me to use the US netflix and lately with all the competition in the US with streaming service, the Canadian netflix actually has a better selection which is debatable but I digress. I like having options though and I'd like to watch on my iPad and/or console since mediahint is only limited to computer browsers.

Unless it's out for tablets now too which I don't know about.

I'll take a look around first I guess but these particular ones look unavailable in Canada.

Thanks!

My sister recently bought these at this store http://www.northbynorthwest.ca/. Not sure what their shipping rates are like but she bought them in person.


In other news after four days of no mail delivery I finally got my GST cheque and Cineplex shipped my backordered Christopher Nolan collection. Yay for me.

Ditto. My Battle Royale Collector's Edition and two of my tickets came.

I'm just waiting on two DVDs (only one has been shipped) and one ticket.

Wii points cards $9.xx for $20 at Stooples. YMMV. This is in store clearance. The location I went to that had a bunch was in Ottawa. If you're in Ottawa and want some, PM me and I'll tell you which store it is.

Wii, not Wii-U.

Oooh, I've been meaning to get Pokemon Ranch (wanna get my own Mew). And whatever else.

True. I needed one for school as I seem to have lost the one I used last year, so it was a good deal for something the prof may lose anyway. If I get it back, great, if not, I'm only out ten bucks.

So to clarify, the Wii U and 3DS shops now use a unified currency pool, but Wii Points are still separate? Never mind, they won't. Wonder if there's anything worth buying on the Wii eShop. Probably not much...
