Got Rayman Legends for Vita and Mario Tennis 3DS reserved at FS, hopefully I'll have the time tomorrow to pick them up! So many deals I've lost because of my always busy Sunday schedule 
Definitely check em out, you should be able to get a mattress for that much unless you're going for a really big one. It's worth noting that you can negotiate with the seller so you might be able to pull a deal. If you don't mind, some stores will also be clearing out their floor units and you can buy those for a significantly reduced price. On the flip side, they'll try to sell you a tonne of additional junk during the purchasing process. Insurance, credit loan, bed sheets and pillows. They also charge for shipping.

Rayman Legends was gone by the time I tried getting it. If any kind gaffer can find an extra copy of it I would be willing to pay cost + shipping.
It might actually drop that low lol.
It says there's one in my area. I can reserve it for you if you want?

Any idea about the trade-in values for PS4 games now? Need to get rid of my COD Ghosts copy!

Does anyone know what the "French" version means when it comes to PC games? MW3 redeems on Steam so not sure if it would install as French.
I recently paid $189.99 for a queen at Sears (which included a $20 coupon.) Total with shipping and tax was $293.73.
Just keep your eyes open, there are deals to be had.
Glad to have helped out! Pillow GAF really is best GAF.
That could be taken the wrong way. Or is it the right way?

It was $13 on XBLA during the Countdown to 2014 sale a few weeks back. I think I also saw EBGames had it for $20 on Boxing Day, though I'm not sure. Given its apparent sales performance I'm guessing you'll see those prices again.

This includes next-gen versions!!! My friend picked up a PS4 version for the same price in store. Sold out online.
Ugh, when I ordered the PS3 version the other day, it was because the PS4 version was still full priced.

Anyone in Toronto have a copy of Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity on PS2 they'd be willing to let go for a couple of bucks (and a spare controller)? Just the disc is fine.
Eh. PS3 version can be updgraded for $10.
I plan to do that, but I could have saved $10, lol (well, I have $7 on PSN already).

Can anyone recommend any wireless 180.11ac routers that I can use with Shaw?
Would it need a coaxle cable input? Or would It just need to be connected through Ethernet cable to the shaw modem?
Being that my Shaw modem is also wireless but has a poor signal that cuts out. Would i even be able to have a second wireless signal? From say a new asus wireless router?

I'm looking at using the asus u68 or the linksys 6900. I've heard excellent things about both.
You connect the router to the modem via an Ethernet cable. You can turn the modem's wireless off and switch it into bridge mode.
You can leave the modem wireless enabled but you'll want to move the new router into the dmz and ensure that the router and modem are not transmitting on the same channel.

Thanks! I was unaware of there being a switch on the shaw modem to turn wifi off? I'm at work right now so I'm unable to check.
You will need to call Shaw and have them bridge your modem when you hook a separate router up to it.
Asus makes some nice routers. I can't recall the model I bought but it in the $90-120 price range. Black wedge looking piece that stand upright (sorry not near my router right now to get the model number).

$30 is not too bad but still you might try to get a bit more on Kijiji!
I got an extra copy of Rayman Legends for Vita and willing to give it for cost for any fellow gaffer!
I had it listed at the BST thread here, if you want it let me know!
Maybe both? Hehehe...

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
You really can`t go wrong with IKEA. I bought a nice bedframe with headrest for $250 and a $500 mattress approved by the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. There were $300 and $400 mattresses which felt comfortable too but I believe in spending a little extra to get better quality for things which will be used for a long time.
Delivery is around $50-$60, I forget the exact amount.
I'm going to second the Ikea option for beds. I bought my frame and mattress(non pillow-top model) from Ikea and have been very happy with it. I was previously sleeping on a very pricey Pillow-top mattress that over the years crapped out.
Does anyone have any impressions of this LG TV?

Or can anyone recommend something comparable. I could maybe stretch an extra hundred or so on the price

Depends where you live! If you live near either Richmond or Mississauga, Bestbuy or Futureshop would be alright probably.
I guess it's just easier because of my work day... but if it's not a guarantee, I don't have any excuse not to go to a store on the weekend. There's just something about coming home to a new game!
I live in Ottawa. Deliveries from those guys usually take the extra day. Although I have received a game from bestbuy a day early. That must be rare.
Thanks!

Yeah, if it was any other day, I wouldnt worry. But a Friday release is pushing it. They dont deliver on the weekend, so if they miss it, you would probably get it on Monday afternoon. I say dont risk it, and just buy the game at the store.
is your copy of Rayman still available ?

From my personal experience, certainly not Amazon. I pre-ordered Dragon's Crown from them and received it a week and a half after release. Really nice. -_- On the other hand, my A Link Between Worlds pre-order from EB Games arrived right on release day (which was also a Friday); I was quite happy.
Take this anecdotal evidence as you will.
I would definitely give Wii Fit a try again for ten bucks, if I could ever find it in stock.
I saw it being put on clearance at my local Target for around $35 to $50 a couple of months ago but I don't think it was worth picking it up again at that price.
How much and what carrier?
PM'ed.

Man i have a very very similar LG tv same size, 1080p 120 he, I can't recall if it's the same model (but I payed a similar price a year ago). And it is excellent. Like amazing, ps4 looks amazing, really really great tv at a great price. I think I bought it from futureshop aswell.
Nice I just bought uncharted there for $9.99I don't know if that applies to all futureshops, but I just bought Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2+ and Lumines both on Vita for $9,99 and $1,99 respectively.
Killer deal, if you ask me.
The sales clerk tried to talk me out of it however, "just get ps plus" he told me. I told him sorry - I like to own games not rent them.
