Sony isn't responsible for those unsold XBones on display at the local BBs. Well...maybe they are....CONSPIRACY!

Did you even understand what I was saying?!
FS/BB handle PayPal just the same as CCs so if you wanted to return the game they will refund the amount to whatever CC linked to your PayPal directly!
You mean like Sony doesn't want to give off the image that they aren't selling systems like Microsoft is with the stacks of Xbones in retailers so to prevent that they purposely hold their systems in stock and give retailers a tiny amount, making it look like it's selling out each time there's an announcement of "PS4s IN STOCK HURRY THE FUCK UP OR THEY'LL RUN OUT*
Like that, right? That's some conspiracy shit, of the highest order

I meant some people would think that way, not me though!
I'm just surprised it's still out of stock all that time, it makes it easier for people to think it's Sony manipulating the stock! Worst part is hoarders are still making money of it!
Had a friend that worked at a Visions around my area, he used to hook me up with great deals and their service is always amazing.

If you know what you are looking for and you go in with something in mind you can get some pretty good deals for good prices. You can also haggle the prices somewhat.
If you don't know your electronics, they will help you out. HOWEVER, they will also try and sneak in a lot of upsell crap. For example, they will try and throw some very expensive monster cables on top of your equipment. They will push newer technology that you may or may not want, just because it's newer and commands a price premium. They will try and sell you a top of the line so-and-so when you might not need it. They will push extended warranties on you, etc.
At least that has been my experience with them. They definitely have a motivated sales staff.

Tales of Vesperia $5 on XBL Gold, best jrpg on the xbox 360 for sure
They have a TV I'm thinking of getting online. Are the "Money Back Extended Service Plans" their extended warranty?
Purchasable through Xbox.com
Problem is finding a store that actually has it though....
If I price match this Asus monitor from NCIX with Memory Express using the mail in rebate price will Memory Express accept it?

Years ago I ordered my Samsung TV from there and I got it with no problems from BC(I'm in NL).
Recently I got a nice Yamaha 5.1 setup from there online and again shipped no problems.
I say visions is just as good as any other box store.
Nice...it's probably a good thing I don't have access to a Costco lol.

Hot damn! That's an incredible Wii U deal!
Just use the old return trick.
Buy from FS/BB or whoever on day one and then return the Amazon copy with the FS/BB receipt.
Doubt it
Edit. Yep. Right in their policies.

I might be wrong but I think you can save a few dollars at Costco... I think it was $54?
I'm hearing good things about these guys from other places as well. Thanks for the input GAF.
Well that's a shame but thanks for taking the time to verify. I appreciate it.
Last time I checked them it was pre-PS4 launch and it was 49.99, but I'll still check, a couple of $$ is better than nothing.

we have it at shop.ca: $10 off with promo code HAPPY
I noticed that, but I need it sometime today/tomorrow, shop.ca says it'll ship in 6 business days according to the product page.

They are available, not online but they do receive shippments everyweek, you just have to check in-store availability on a regular basis.
I guess it'll be like that until March and even then i'm not sure if i can walk into a futureshop or bestbuy and grab one...

Aww, okay. In general if you're in the GTA it usually only takes 2-3 days to get to you, but sounds like you need it quicker than that.

I'mma check if they changed my pre-order price.

I also preordered that Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor on Amazon just now.
Its still months away, but that 8 minute preview released today looks incredible and I want to lock down the $59 price.

I dunno how in -store works, but it wouldn't surprise me. You definitely do at EB
Is EB at least sending you guys notifications when raising the prices on these pre-orders? Pretty shady if not.
I mean when you place that order you're authorizing them to charge whatever amount is there to your card. If they're charging a larger amount without your consent, well that's some bullshit.

Online is different, for reasons you said. But in-store, when you only put like $5 or $10 down, you're basically just paying off the remaining amount of the cost when you pick it up. That's why I say to preorder as many games as you can ONLINE while you see them at $59, and then cancel anything you decide you dont want.
Yeah, I was referring to online orders specifically.
I keep forgetting I can do that and I can price match. I'll order now just to lock in the price.
Is the Vita all Costcos?
