You can setup separate family members on the same Club Nintendo account to register the same product separate times. They will have a separate login but the points will accumulate towards one pot.

The Future Shop I was in had a label for $14.99 on shelf for NSMBU used. And both FS + Best Buy updated with this offer.
That's one hell of an error. I have one copy that I picked up in store and another that is shipping to me that is going to a friend who is picking up a Wii U today.

Nice, thanks. I'll have to try that after work, I figured there must have been a way.
I could register my wife's 3DS as well but I figured I'd save those points for next year.

I've seen it change drastically from Friday to Saturday earlier this year.
Hmm, alright, thanks :\

They're supposed to hold it for 48 hours with in store pickup.
Praise be to jeebus. I hate Best Buy's funny munny

My ISPU for NSMBU got denied at BB 
I'm gonna give it a try at another store, RFD has struck I guess!

My guess: Pre-order 1 game = $10 off, 2 games = $15 off each, 3 games or more = $20 off each.

Yeah this makes sense! Still I find BB offer is a bit better except for the fact that there will be a slim chance to add a tsilon 20$ off code and get the game for 20$ lol. I don't know if that's applicable or not!

Does anyone have an extra TLoU Tsilon coupon? Or want to hop on Dust 514 tomorrow to get that challenge completed?
Excellent!

Yeah, it's F2P and I'll be home all day after 2:30 PM MST.
Edit:
No luck at either SDM.

I guess we can get the details by their next week flyer!
I don't see why you wouldn't be.
BTW why would you rather not be a part of tsilon? It's worked out great for all of us.

You should join, I will send you an invite if you need! (haha never succeeded at using any of my invites!)
You get access to pretty good perks without much work really. Most of the games perks are low level.

It pays off quite easily tbh, plus it's not so much of a hassle like you might think!
Ask for an invite if you need and many can help with that!
I live in Hamilton. I'll probably stop by Walmart or Gamestop and see how much they have it for. Do you know if the DLC is on disc or are they codes? Wouldn't make much sense to buy them used in that case.
Have you tried Overload Entertainment, on Barton?
Off topic, but wondering if anyone could please give me a hand, I'm terrible with this stuff...
My PS3 hasn't been able to connect to my Internet the last couple of days (or it connects and then stops responding). It sees my wireless and knows it's there, but when trying to connect, it says it "can't obtain the IP".
I've tried unplugging my router, which has worked before when the signal got weak or anything, but it's not working this time. I even plugged it into the wired connection, and it kept it for a while...and then disconnected from it and couldn't get back on.

How about the rest of your devices?? Did you try connecting it to a personal hotspot of a smartphone if you have one?
Everything else is fine, it's just the PS3.
Just checked the computer that I have connected with the wire, it's fine too (not sure why the wired connection even dropped from the PS3...)
Edit: Wait, you meant trying my iPhone as a hotspot. It didn't find my iPhone when I turned it on. :/
How do you do that?
I tried to enter the connection manually (router's name and password) and it did the same thing.
I'm really awful with Internet connection configuring other than plugging it in

When you're entering the connection settings on your PS3, it will ask you if you want IP configuration automatic or manaul, you choose manual and enter an IP yourself, you will need to check another device to see the IP range. like see the IP address of your laptop and change the last number probably by putting a bigger number so if it's 11 or 20 put 50 or 70.
I don't know if I'm helping or not lol
But the fact that it didn't recognize your iphone might be a problem with your PS3 WiFi!
Well it's a router so it wants the router's name and password!
It's weird because it's a new PS3 and the Internet was working fine before and just a couple of days ago, it stopped.
Never been there. How is it? I've always shopped at bigger retailers.
Really great for used games and somewhat hard to find stuff. Don't know if it is still really cheap though.
I think the FS deal is far better if you're getting $60 off three games rather than paying full price to get $60 toward future games at BB. FS deal is effectively 3 games for the price of 2, whereas BB is effectively 4 games for the price of 3. Also, you're not paying the taxes on that $60 off at FS, whereas at BB you'd be paying taxes on that $60 extra you spend up front and paying taxes on whatever you spend your RZ points on. The only way the BB deal is anywhere as good as the FS deal is if they later add an extra 800 RZ points to each game, but you can't count on that, and you'd still pay more taxes.
FYI, last year the Tsilon codes came after the E3 sales, so no hope of combining them, but it did help that you could place individual orders rather than having to order 3 games together, and the best part was we could use them on $40 games that weren't eligible for the original sale offers. Anyone that hasn't signed up for Tsilon yet should do so now, because you have to find a challenge to do before you're eligible for perks, so it's not as straightforward as it was last year, although I guess the invites at least make it far easier to sign up now, but even those can take a few days to process.
Okay, now I see what you're saying. So I copied the settings off my iPhone (and changed the IP up to end in 50) and got:
And just looking at my connection settings...
Everything from IP to Secondary DNS came from my iPhone.
Anything wrong with it that you can see? I have no idea. :/
Has anyone here used Xplornet satellite internet? What was the experience? Googling the name brings up mostly old reviews that set up the service as terrible. One recent review seems to suggest its ok.
I just moved to rural Quebec from downtown Ottawa (how I miss you Teksavvy). I may not be here that long, but I've been here a month and am using coffee shop internet out & 56k at home, and really want to get high speed internet. While I see the prices and cap space is terrible, Xplornet is the only high speed internet around that offers more than 10GB of usage.

IPhone and ps3 have the same ip? Cause that would be the problem. Change 50 to a random number like 125 or something
Nevermind, should've read your post better, although it still wouldn't hurt to try

That could be the "up to" part. $10 off 3DS/Vita, $20 off console games?
I wonder what the next-gen titles will even be priced at. $70?

I can't see anything wrong but the fact that NAT Failed, this is because you have no Internet access.
Try these DNS:
190.014.036.090
206.214.214.028
Hopefully this will fix it.

Omg, I went to go try these, turned the PS3 on, and it signed in :O
I won't touch it for now again, but if it drops, I'll keep this post. Thank you so much for your help, and everyone else!
Awesome!
