I only ever bought 2 used games from them but both times had the box and manual inside.

Nothing discounted till now, with the Xbone selling for 500$ I don't really see a price cut for the 360!
They work perfectly with PCs but not with 360s
Bestbuy.com had 1 year sub for 40$ but you'll need a US CC to get it, other than that you may wait for one of Sony's deals when they offer 3 months extra when you buy 1 year sub or 10$ credit when you spend 50$.
I usually wait for the 3 extra months deal and now I'm good till March 2015.

The promotion codes doesn't seem to be working. I hope they get fixed soon.
Good to know. Thanks.
Still looking! ^^;
When do these 3 month extra deals come? I guess I'll wait a little longer then.
And I am assuming American PS+ subs work in Canada as well?

Any places to get an ACNL download code? I could just buy a $35 eShop card, but still, is it worth waiting on a download code?

The fuck is with Last of Us in stores?
FS says I can't buy online nor can I even check in stores. Just says
"Local Store
Not available in nearby stores"
Is it bugged? Guess I will have to go down and check I guess, and its sold out online.
Wow, ok, apparently it is sold out in Best Buy too, and Amazon is selling theirs for $75. Did Sony undership?

You could always try calling the store, maybe put one on reserve if they have them in stock.
Worked fine for me on the $100 headset. Weird.
A code for $50 off of a $99 PS3 headset which from my understanding is compatible with PC. Not sure what you mean by if the code is universal.
I'm pretty sure it's a unique code.
Here's mine, I already redeemed it. Try and see if it works for you.

Question, Canadian eShop cards can still be used if you set your region to US? Also, if you download games from the eShop when set to Canada for some games, and then US for others, all will carry over if I need to transfer my account to another 3DS in the future? Because it makes it sound like some might not be redownloadable under certain conditions.
Since certain places in the US have no tax, I'm considering changing the settings to say Oregon which has no tax. Alberta is among the only spots in Canada to have the lowest tax amount of only 5%.
I don't want to risk any mix ups with my downloaded games if it's going to bite me in the ass later, I'd rather just pay the 5% tax if so.

That sucks, hopefully FS will help you out. Call their support line and ask them if they can send you another code.

But shouldn't it work if you change the region setting, or is it still the Canadian eShop? But it confirms I changed the settings to US in the eShop, it's just a matter if Canadian cards work in this case, maybe not since Canadian cash already in doesn't carry over.
I wouldn't bother at all if not, I'm not wasting time and obviously potentially money to get a US card.

Is $209.99 for a 16GB Nexus 7 tablet a good deal? Best Buy has it on sale until June 27th.
I've been wondering if I should pick up a tablet, but I've been unsure since I own a laptop and use it heavily for browsing. Still, is the Nexus 7 worth the $209 asking price?

If you change your region it will allow you to access the US eShop, but your cash balance for the Canadian eShop is separate from your cash balance for the US eShop, so you'd have separate balances in both. The cards specify that they're for Canada only, so the US eShop should not allow you to redeem a CAD eShop card, and the Canadian eShop should not allow you to redeem a USD eShop card. There'd be issues with currency exchange if they allowed that.
Amazon.com has PS4 pre-orders. Also they have PS4 Bundle pre-orders. Go get yours.

Hi Junior,
Canadians can't order consoles from Amazon.com without a huge fee for an import deposit.
Welcome to GAF.
Yours truly, Isny.

The PS4's on Amazon.com are standard editions, meaning you WON'T get them on launch day, effectively making it absolutely useless for ordering from there.
They are on a first come-first serve basis. Meaning you get yours when a shipment comes in, and all previous pre-orders before yours are filled.
As far as I know, nowhere on Canadian websites can you pre-order the PS4, so you are shit out of luck there.
If you want it Day 1, camp out in front of a store and hope they have a decent amount in stores to sell.
Plenty of Xbones though if you are looking for an alternative.

If you are afraid it wont' arrive day one, you can always order it online, buy a copy in-store, return the pre-ordered copy when you receive.
Thanks for the warm welcome senior GAF.
The Canadian Sony Store website is still taking pre-orders unless I'm reading this wrong. I have a pre-order in my shopping cart now btw.

I could give you a warmer welcome, but, that would require...you being here. So yeah, welcome to GAF, we have cookies!
@Anth0ny
I hope the Sony Store link is of use. If not then try TheSource.ca for pre-orders.
Cool cool. I'm something of a macadamia nut fan.

Would love a price drop, even temporarily.
Really want to pick one up, but not at the current asking price :/

Probably over now but as of a few months ago Costco had the basic version for $199. I noticed it on a few separate occasions, haven't checked since though.

I rarely even bother with visiting RFD anymore as it's such a nest of scum in the gaming section. I honestly feel like I need a shower after reading some theads - I shiver to think of meeting certain forum posters in person. I picture a neckbeard, coffee and cheeto stained t-shirt, jorts complete with sandals and socks.
Thankfully, there's this thread and GameDealsCanada on twitter.
Wii U Deluxe is $299 at Superstore right now. That's $50 off, which is what I'd expect from an official NoA price drop.

I'm pretty much done with that place as well. The constant begging for recipts has finally gotten to me. They also like to try and call you out on the hope that you do in fact post it for everyone.
No dice!

How good are Canada Day sales? Good time to maybe get a Wii U and Animal Crossing New Leaf and other 3DS games?
