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.

Thanks but sadly I don't see the ones I needed.

Bookmarking for later reading. Hah.

Oh ok. I thought it had to do with his posts regarding accessing netflix outside your region and I got worried there.

Nah, that has been posted a ton of times in different threads. Nobody is bothered by that.

I use unblock.us and it's pretty great. I keep it active on my Vita and PS3 and leave it off my 3DS and Wii U so I can watch American Netflix on my Sony stuff and Canadian Netflix on my Nintendo stuff in the rare case that something is only available in Canada. Totally worth the $5 per month.

I don't think Netflix particularly cares, either. I think they're willing to turn a blind eye to stuff that makes Canadians more likely to subscribe to Netflix.

Because if I couldn't use it any more, I'd very likely cancel Netflix. I ran out of stuff to watch on the Canadian side ages ago.

It's still cheaper to use those points cards to buy VC games in Wii mode and pay the upgrade fee than to just buy the games on Wii U.

If you guys are looking for another way to access multiple Netflix region, adfreetime seems to be a good solution. I hear good things about it, but I haven't signed up yet. I'm trying to blast through the canadian netflix selections before jumping into the other regions lol.

https://adfreetime.com/

Oh, and I think it's like $2/month.

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

Thanks!

She works at Sterling shoes, so you can check your local stores and see if they have the ones you're looking for. She gets 40% off. If you find the ones you're looking for there, let me know. My offer still stands. Good luck!

Don't think you can use those promos on any cards.

I know of only two good Wiiware games and that's My Life as a King and My Life as a Dark Lord.... the rest you can probably get either on the WiiU or 3DS....

Bit.Trip games, altbough most of them are on Steam now. Also the two LostWinds games are good.

Glad I never got around to playing Rayman Legends. Just preordered it for PS4 after finding out it'll only be 40 bucks

Hopefully AC4 and Lego Marvel keep me going until then

PS3/Xbox One Hardened versions of COD: Ghosts are $49.97 right now at FS/BB.

No PS4. I was going to do the upgrade of the PS3 version to the PS4 for $10 extra but decided against it in the end. Just grabbed the xBone version.

Roto13 · Jan 11, 2014

Boo, the only games in the Vita clearance sale I want are sold out at the Future Shop near me.

I dont understand. You can change your DNS for free via console.

Socreges · Jan 11, 2014

So if I want to watch US Netflix on my PS3 without paying for Unblock US, I can just change my DNS settings? Anyone here that's done this and had it work without problems?

Oh crap, I should pick up Rayman. Apparently it's in stock at markham east.

Other possibly worthwhile clear-out deals:
Mario Tennis 3DS - $10
Epic Mickey Power of Illusion 3DS - $5
Freakyforms Deluxe 3DS - $5

Is there a site that it' 40$ on to pre order right now? or are you banking on it being dropped on Amazon.ca closer to release?

EDIT: Just grabbed Bowser's Inside Story from that FS sale. Been waiting forever for a price drop. Thanks for the heads up, Lone_Prodigy!

Anth0ny · Jan 11, 2014

Grabbed Bowser's Inside Story and Spider-Man: Edge of Time. I'm so paranoid about these Marvel games now -_-

Amazing price for Mario Tennis, always wanted to pick that up at a lower price. MGS3D too.

I hear ya. I picked up Marvel vs Capcm 3 in the used section. Never thought I'd ever see that game on BB's site again.

EDIT:

Missed out on Bionic Commando (FS). DAMN IT!

Roto13 · Jan 12, 2014

Got the husband to pick up Freakyforms for me.

Never been super interested in it but I'll try it for $5.

khaaan · Jan 12, 2014

Wow, the PSVita Madden bundle is- scratch that, was on sale for $143. That's a pretty awesome deal even if it doesn't come with a memory card.

Mike Works · Jan 12, 2014

Just got Rayman for $10. Thanks GAF!

Lexxism · Jan 12, 2014

soultron · Jan 12, 2014

Some big box stores will have basically brand new open box Vitas on sale. I got my Wifi basic Vita (no card) for $140+tax and I don't even think it was used.

If you're really wanting a cheap Vita, do some checking around. Ask a sales associate if they have any since they may not be easy to find on the storefloor.

zeitgeist · Jan 12, 2014

I know we talk about pillows a lot so I thought I would ask here since it is somewhat related...

Anyone have suggestions on where to get a mattress/bed frame for a reasonable price?
Am I crazy for thinking there might be somewhere that will do free delivery? So far I find that Sears has some good ones on sale but delivery is $70 bucks.

To keep it sort of on topic: I plan to play video games on my bed.

What's your budget and what size bed are you hoping to get? I don't really know a whole lot other than my family usually gets something from sleep country. They have some stuff on sale on their website that you could check out.

Wow, considering how many times I have heard their stupid jingle over the years, I can't believe I didn't think of Sleep Country Canada. Guess jingles don't work.

I'm thinking 300-400 for the mattress itself and I don't plan on getting a box spring.

Have done that on both my PS3 and Wii U with little issue. Had to find new DNS numbers once as the previous ones stopped working but that took almost no time. Been doing this for months.

Sora_N · Jan 12, 2014

My gf bought the wm pillows and loves them lol. Well worth the price of $5 each.

Black Republican · Jan 12, 2014

whens Killer is Dead gonna be $20?

ohlawd · Jan 12, 2014

oh yeah isny, never got to thank you for the pillow deal.

I'm a weird fuck who can't sleep without hugging something so these pillows are like a gift from heaven. Unfortunately they're the softest thing I'll ever hug in my life but whatever them's the brakes.

It depends if you want all physical media, all digital media or don't mind a mix. The Zelda bundle has a digital download. The New Super Mario Bros. bundle has that game and its DLC (New Super Luigi) in physical format. The Nintendoland bundle is also in physical format.

If you are going digital, I'd get Zelda.
If you are going physical, I'd recommend the Mario one. If you want Nintendoland, it's packaged with a Wii Remote now.

The choice is yours.

No_Style · Jan 12, 2014

Those of you who picked up Rayman Legends for Vita, can you confirm how many save slots it has?

I just got the game and hour ago, but it seems like there is only one.

Jinto · Jan 12, 2014

I'm selling my extra 1 yr PS plus code for $25. Only thing is you have to use it right away to test if it actually works, since I've had problems redeeming codes in the past. Don't wanna sell something that doesn't work. Let me know if anyone's interested.

Sora_N · Jan 12, 2014

Bought Lego Harry Potter Vita and PS3 Time and Eternity, nothing else I really want.
