With the hike becoming so real, I will just keep all my pre-orders even if I do not want them! It will be easy to sell back on kijiji with a small profit. (or be sweet like isny above!)

I just put a preorder for Evolve PS4, just lock it at $60 which all of a sudden became a good price 
It's still at that price on EB and BB maybe everywhere but it might get hiked any day!
I don't know why all my recent questions got ignored lol but here is a repost from last page:
So this is my first time checking MTF and I was about to buy a couple of Blurays but it says not factory sealed! Are those used or what? anybody tried them before?
Thanks

MTF gets all their stuff as Costco returns. If there is significant or minor damage to the casing it is noted in the description. Otherwise I've had no problems. I got this for my wife for $90.00 and it's in perfect condition:

It passes for factory sealed. I have never got a scratched disc from MTF.

They're "refurbs", but one game I bought from them was factory sealed (the other was used but complete).

Most legit is Gamefly with the code feb20off for 48 USD.
Semi legit is to use a Mexican proxy and buy it from Origin for 48 CAD.
And, of course, there are the Russian key sellers mentioned previously but not to be talked about...

Well the fact it's Costco stuff is kinda a good indication, I'll probably go ahead and order a couple Blurays and see how it goes!
Thanks for your input, it's good to know
Is the Gamefly code for the digital origin version ?
Its origin only i beleive , no matter if you have the retail disk or a code , its on origin.
So , yes.
Alright, I just bought it from them came to like 54 CAD which is better than 59,99 plus taxes ! Can't wait, add me on Origin if you guys even want to get some games in djblue89

Shit, my credit card number was stolen and someone bought a something for $1,500 on Bestbuy.ca with it...
And just as DK Tropical Freeze is about to be released. I still have a discounted pre-order at futureshop, and I really don't want to lose it (my card has been de-activated). Would it work if I get a $50 gift card and swap it with my credit card on my order? It's a big order where other games have already been shipped, can I still swap the credit card for a gift card or am I screwed?
Argh, this is so shitty... At least I hope the bank will not make me pay the $1,500...

Ahhhhh! I've been waiting on a deal for this game but the site isn't working for me. Anybody have any luck?
A used Zombi U bundle for $215 http://www.pricematters.ca/p-9009-nintendo-wii-u-usedworkingconsole-32g-zombiu-deluxe-set.aspx
Already gone dude.
As long as you can get a good deal on the size, model, or brand your looking for then all is well.

No way you will have to pay for that! Cops can look into where it has been shipped to (but I am sure it's not his home address!).
You should be ok adding a gift card, I did it before even after an item was already sent.
Thanks for this, just saved $40 on a new DS XL.

You don't need to worry much, you will not need to pay the stolen amount, and yes you can easily call in and add a gift card to your order!
You could have gotten Optimum points worth more than $40, only if you have the patience for those points to show on your account, cause usually with coupons bonus points show up after a few weeks!

It'll come Canada Post if you selected the cheap USPS option...which is only available for certain orders less than four pounds.
Otherwise it'll be UPS.
I like the cheaper shipping, for the savings there plus you're almost guaranteed to not get charged duty.

Anyone had any luck getting their EBGames to price match other local stores for game prices? BB/FS are already $5 more expensive than buying straight from PSN, and EB is another $5 on top of BB/FS. This is getting silly, I'll never be able to burn up my gift card at this rate.

Do you have a Visions? I like going in there and lowballing them when I'm in the market for a new TV. They usually will bite somewhere much lower than what FS/BB sale prices are. Plus they have a 15% price beat policy and 60 or 90 day price protection.
As nice of a selection as BB & FS have, my last two big TVs have been from Visions. Got additional price protection cheques back from them both times too when the things went on sale on Boxing Day.

I got his from MTF before Christmas for $269.99, it worked and is still working perfectly. Best part is that it came with the $50 wireless controller. Because of that I still feel like it was a good price, but hot damn that's a good deal at $215
EB doesn't do any price match though.

You can just use your EB gift card on PSN store cards and buy your games on PSN!
Or if you got lucky and found a PS4 in stock grab from EB it and sell it for cost on Kijiji and there you cashed out your gift cards!
Sweet! I hope it stays that way til Friday! I've only got a sad little WM in my pathetic little town, so it's the best I can hope for.
Thanks for the answer =)
I can also verify this, haven't had any problems with Nippon-Yasan so far. Good packaging too.
Well damn....Dat deal.

Curious if the DK price jumps up on the eShop too. That'll decide whether I go digital or physical.

Will you be able to price match this anywhere?
I don't think any store price matches Costco because you need a membership to buy from there. It's too bad it's not also on the website because you don't need a membership to buy from costco.ca.
I don't think price matching Costco is supposed to be permissible.
Someone could always get a membership to buy it there then cancel it and be refunded the full membership fee. As long as you cancel within a year of getting the membership then you get the entire membership fee back. This was true as of 4 years ago because my brother did it when he first moved into his house and needed to get a bunch of shit. He cancelled his membership after 11 months without a problem. I don't know if it still applies now though.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Vita accessories are $10 on amazon.ca again if you missed out in December. Travel pouch, charging cradle, and screen protector all $10 each. Can't comment on the pouch or screen protector but the charging cradle is a must have, especially at that price.
Edit: Can anyone recommend this Vita grip? I don't find the Vita as uncomfortable to hold as most people do but wouldn't mind the extra comfort.

Love the charging cradle. Not quite as convenient as the 3DS cradle but keeping my Vita charged is no longer a pain in the ass since I got that.
