Is the Last of Us in stock anywhere in the GTA?!
Yup. It's also available both on FS and BB online.

Apparently, you have to literally connect to the Best buy wireless, not nintendo zone, go into the game and then go to the post office inside the game to get the dlc....
I know they actually found a work-around to that (which someone may have posted here too) ... but I'm not entirely sure if I should be saying it here...
I found the list of participating locations for EB Games' Pikmin 3 thing.

There are a few in the GTA, but nothing convenient for me, sadly.
Warden & Eglinton. Aww yisss.

Sadly won't be able to get to it in Edmonton, it's a bit far on the bus, and dragging a toddler along won't be fun. Wish they had one closer. Really wanted to pre order so I could play it a day early. Damn you nintendo

Hope that helps.
I already mentioned that trick as well, don't think there's an issue with that honestly.
I guess I have to go back to the store soon.
My guess is you aren't manually setting up the connection on the 3DS? Even when you rename the SSID to "Bestbuy" and remove encryption, you can't do it like a real Nintendo Zone for whatever reason.
But it does work flawlessly once you set up the connection.
Give it to me.
Of course I'm joking unless you were sent by the heavens.
Hmm I couldn't find a tutorial that told me what I needed to set exactly.
Does the Animal Crossing stuff work though from that method? If it doesn't I don't think I"ll bother since it seems like a hassle.

Managed to buy a 3DS XL with mario kart 7 for 159$ and 20x points at SDM on saturday! My girlfriend was almost happy that i buy a gaming portable due to all the points hehe.
Bought FE so far, tomorow SMT IV.

Btw, if i bought FE digitally, where's the code for the club nintendo? Or is it done automatically?

How did you get one that came with Mario Kart?

Its automatic.

You just need to link your console to your Club Nintendo account and all your digital purchases will be added automatically, you'll just need to log in and complete the survey!
Just read the news about Loblaws acquiring SDM, I'm not really happy with these news! Somehow I see SDM level taking a dip!

i also got the Mario kart bundle, all 3ds XL systems scan the same, even the bundles so if you were lucky to find a bundle you could get it for the sale price.
if you factor in Mario kart and $43 points credit that's a $75 3ds xl, possibly the best deal for the system to date.
not many people buy games from shoppers so they tend to have older stock. when something seems to be sold out like fire emblem/last of us/animal crossing always check shoppers and staples. odds are you'll find copies at those stores when everywhere else is sold out.
Yeah. It's pretty sweet deal. I got my MK7 XL for $150 last boxing day.

this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
I find that Loblaws marks down a ton of things, he had hot shots for 7 bucks, mgs green psp bundle for 59.99, PS2 silver for 24.99, save the tax day, etc.
Yea it works, it's how I've been getting the AC stuff so far. It sounds like a hassle but it's really a lot easier than going to Best Buy, where chances are it might not even work anyway, if they don't have things set up right on their end.
What I mean by "setup" is just like what you have to do normally in the 3DS Internet settings. Search for the "Bestbuy" network and add the connection. You don't even have to remove the encryption for it to work, so I just momentarily change the name of the SSID on my router, grab the DLC, and change it back. Takes like a couple minutes.
oh wow. hope this doesn't affect the Optimum program. Says here SDM will start selling PC products, and there's already a PC Rewards program at Loblaws so... who knows. Better not ruin my chances of getting a deeply discounted PS4 around launch, oi!

You know, this would be kinda awesome if Nintendo's digital service wasn't fucking horrible. Give me the physical version a day early.

That's kind of tempting.
I have Killzone preordered at EB. DS4 at FS. It's a good excuse to get a PSEye.

It's not bad but it won't do much for me since I have Killzone preordered for $40 at FS! So it's just $10 off both DS4 and PS Eye, not sure I'll go for it!
It came in one of those bubble wrap bag things.
Bit random but Freakyforms Deluxe is on sale for $12 at Chapters

Good price if you had any interest in the game.

Hopefully that means they'll just stuff it in my box and i won't have to go pick it up. They got a Wii U game in my box so i assume that will fit as well.
I got a knock on the door, and it was the regular mail carrier. It might depend on who's delivering it.
About the DS Lite. Wouldn't you get more if you sold it to others? It does have GBA BC...
