Think I should hold off on DC then to see if it does go on clearance?
Unless you absolutely want it now, I would wait.
Dragon's Crown is available in both Best Buy's and all 3 Futureshops in my town, it's also available online so it's a matter of time.
Then again it's an Atlus game, so maybe they won't clearance it.
The Sony games though? Yeah, that's definitely getting clearanced.
If you're getting a Vita do yourself a favour and get a 32gb card (unless you're waiting for 64gb). There's enough free games on PS+ to fill a 16gb, and then some.
I can play the waiting game, besides I'll probably buy Muramasa and a PSOne classic digitally so I will have stuff to play
DC for $19.99 should happen eventually. Atlus has been cockteasing for far too long with their $29.99 deals.
yeah because you don't actually pay for the game when you pre-order, you're just making a deposit. you can pre-order and then do a PM when you pick the game up though. assuming the place you're PMing (amazon?) hasn't raised the price by then.
there's a chance you might be able to get away with PMing an online pre-order. technically I don't think they're supposed to do it, but people have been successful in the past.

Damn...they did have a bit (yes, not a great amount) when I was there a month ago...
Poor Vita

Still lives in the digital realm, but my 32gb card is getting full fast. I really hope we get the 64gb cards soon.
Maybe with the new model but I doubt it. I mean, PSVita sales have been absolutely dreadfull worldwide, it's prety much a lost cause for Sony.

I have an 8GB along with an unopened 32GB, and I can fully stand behind this advice. 32 is practically necessary if you have PS+.
Thanks. I still don't know if I'll get a Vita right away. Might wait some more, I just don't want to miss out on the OLED model.
Hell i'm thinking of buying another OLED vita in case mine breaks/gets damaged. Also just bought Muramasa, now gotta hope it doesn't make it into the PS+ games for Feb lol.
I bit the bullet and bought the 64GB card off Play Asia. When I made the choice to buy a vita I new what I was getting myself into. Maybe someday the 64GB card will come to North America but until then I'll make sure I have enough space for my downloads.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit I keep flipping back and forth with Toukiden. I love the demo since it's a legit MH clone and not some half assed knock off like Soul Sacrifice and whatever. But I only want it so I can pad out the two weeks while waiting for Danganronpa - comes out on the 14th but I'll probably have it by the end of the month :/
Help a brother decide ;_;
There are two copies at the shoppers next to my work. They are in the $19.99 bin. Would you like me to grab one for you? You pay shipping obviously.
I'm in Lethbridge Alberta
UMvC3 was on clearance at Best Buy and Future Shop not too long ago but I think they sold out pretty quick.
Not really gaming related, but what do you guys do with your old, still working, electronics you have no more use for? I'm getting rid of a bunch of my old stuff at my parents' place. Old CRT TV's, stereos etc. I'd rather just get rid of them all at once. Anyone ever sell at a pawn shop before? Otherwise, a good place to donate them would be fine.
Back on topic, I have the Assassin's Creed IV 28" x 48" flag that came with the limited edition to give away. I have no room for it. First person with any interest can have it.

Depends on the city, I'd imagine. Victoria has a great place where you can specifically recycle electronics. Dunno if that's common. And don't expect pawn shops to take your old electronics.
Yeah, it seems like there are a few places in Alberta that recycle electronics. Do these places usually just dispose of them? They all work perfectly fine, so I'd rather they gave it to people who can use them.
Which city? I'm in Toronto or are you talking about online?

got this for $3.75 in the clearance section of my local MTF during the recent 50% off clearance sale.

If they're still working, give them to a thrift store. They'll sell them for five bucks, some money will probably go to charity, and some kid moving into his first apartment get some use out of them.
I think that's what I'm gonna do. Just load everything on friends truck and bring it to a thrift store on Monday. Thanks!
E-waste gets shipped to whichever third world nation is paid to take it because nobody else wants it, and then poor people cook the tin off of circuit boards to make jewelry for tourists.
Yes Please, I live in Edmonton, just give me the total with shipping and I will PM my info and paypal you the funds, Thanks man.

& get the more valuable metals. Some towns in china were poisoned from the lead and mercury, really sad what it did to the children.
I have Street Fighter x Tekken at my work place on clearance, $19.99, what system?
UMvC3 is $20 @ Staples if you can find it. Got it for around $16 with their additional 20% off.

You can drop old electronics at Best Buys also. Not sure what they do with them.
I'm interested in this too. Do you by any chance know a place in Vancouver where I can recycle? I have an old laptop I've been holding onto for like 2 years now because I don't know how to dispose of it. :/
Dunno. Check the Internets.
Also worth seeing what exactly happens with the electronics afterwards. Gonna check the one here in Victoria.

Places like Best Buy also have bins where you can recycle small electronics. They also do trade-in programs from time to time (of course they fleece you on the trade value).
Depends on what kind of offers you are getting for a contract. Personally I always buy them without a contract because it saves more money. Some people will tell you the price difference between contract and non-contract is negligible but the benefit of not getting locked into a contract and not having your phone locked to one carrier (worth $50 to unlock if iPhone, affects resale value) are considerations too IMO.
Also depends on how you feel about data. I'm a cheap bastard and I personally think constant internet access is not worth paying an extra 20-30 on your plan when wifi is everywhere (especially if you goto school). Every McDonald's and Starbucks has wifi now too.
It's been a while since I've looked though, what's the going rate for max data plans these days?
I can return laptops at return-it? I always thought that was just for regular recyclables/bottles. :lol
Got all of my movie tickets and I'm only missing 2 films. I'm sure that I will eventually get them (still back ordered), so all in all it's been an excellent deal. I will surely order from them again around black friday and boxing day. :^]

Part of me wonders if they'll bother to do this again. Seemed like the sort of thing you do to get people in the door when the store is new (also see: $50 off $100 deal at Shop.ca). Here's hoping, though! I've gotten everything I expect to get from Cineplex, as Summer Wars came in yesterday (not bad, whoever it was that recommended it here)--now it's a waiting game to see if I get that one disc that I really didn't expect them to stock.
Depends if you mind contracts. I think koodo is great if you dont like contract. I'm not a fan of what they charge per month feature wise. However I'm on retention for Bell.
