So that means The Last Guardian is confirmed for this year, right?
Absolutely lol
Any game that's scheduled for Dec 31st means not going to happen, probably ever lol

Thanks Cheap-arse GAF, got Bioshock infinite for cheap.
I found a few Best Buy gift cards in my room after cleaning up. Probably about $100 pooled together between the 4 or 6 cards. Does their website let you combine all of the balances onto an account or something? I'm interested in picking up a few games online but none of my cards individually would be enough? I've only ever used them in-store and have never touched their online store.
Anyone know?
Anyone know?
I think you can add a maximum of 2 or 3 for a single purchase. Maybe if you go in store they could combine them into one.
Haha...
I guess because they're selling it for $20 NEW. At least $15 NSMBU is limited to pre-owned inventory.
by the way, I made a thread for Nintendo's upcoming cross-canada tour this summer, if anyone's interested
It looks like they'll be handing out Luigi merch at both the tour and the E3 events.

Hmmm, I still haven't gotten mine. It's supposed to be a separate e-mail now is it? Any response from them yet?

I got Bioshock Infinite used for $25 at futureshop (great price for a 2 months old game!), but the box is full of glue residue because of the huge sticker on the back of the box. I never thought I'd say this, but it's worse than EBgames' stickers... Any easy way to remove this...? I'm really obsessive with my game collection.
By the way, I haven't tried if the game works yet; have I made a mistake by removing the sticker? Will they still allow me to return it if there's a problem?
In retrospect, I really should've paid the $5 difference for a new copy.

Goo Gone.
Beyond is also scheduled for Dec 31st, and that is expected to be released at some point.
My depressing preorder reminders are for TLG and Star Wars 1313..

I know what sticker you're talking about, heh. I managed to remove the sticker the slow way.
1. Empty the box and take out the paper boxart
2. Soak it in hot water for 10-15 minutes
3. Rub off the sticker with your fingers
4. Dry it off with a towel
5. Lift the adhesive off with some regular Scotch tape
Or just buy some Goo Gone at Canadian Tire
And at Canadian Tire, you can give like Santa and save like Scrooge!

No response yet but when I look at the Future Shop forum, there was a thread about the the same kind of promotion in January. People didn't get the code email until February 5. So I think maybe an email with a code would come sometime early June?
Edit: Oh it's June 1 now. So maybe in a few days? I'm going to try emailing again on Monday or Tuesday.
Waaaaait, the GAF doc hits today? Please tell me we have some Canadian GAF representation in it? =D

I ended up buying both Gears of War: Judgement and Halo 4. Thanks for the heads up on the deals.
When I was at Futureshop I also found Magical Starsign for $5.

I mean Halo 4. It was an advertised deal at FS this week for $19.99, yet was on their T2 list. Pretty poor planning.
Now I'm feeling nostalgic for last summer...

Are there any good deals on 3ds games, I just bought one and I looking for games, I really want to play Zelda but don't wanna shovel out $40.
SDM still has Zelda for $19.99 if you can find one. Actually, they should have all Pokemon titles, Zelda, and Mario Tennis all for $19.99 (despite not necessarily being marked as such in store, just get them to scan the titles and they'll come up at the discounted price.)
Steel Diver can be had for a few bucks by buying at EB or PM'ing.

Same with Pilotwings.

Pfft, Olive Oil works better and everyone already has it in their home. Just use soapy water to get rid of the smell afterward.
Crewnh of Toronto-GAF.

Kind of random but I want to upload a DJ set that I made today so my friends can download it, it's 225Mo. What is a good site for that? Anything that host files of that size and won't remove it overnight!
Thanks!
Thanks!

So I just picked this Lexar S23 64GB USB 3.0 flash drive((up to 100MB/s read and 55MB/s write).
64GB - $29.99
32GB - 18.99
64GB is retailing at $99.99 at amazon.com. Not sure if it is a price error but I think it is one hell of a deal with those speeds.
Oh, it is the same price at both Best Buy and Future. Make sure the model number is S23 and not the S70.

This looks so cool, I'll watch that today!
On the other hand I was able to put my hands on the last copy of used NSMBU for 15$ in Calgary today, after a 20 mile drive to FS on the other end of the city lol

How about the S73? cause that's the only one in stock now!
Ugh RFDers must have ordered truck loads of that!!

S73 sucks. The speeds are equivalent to USB 2.0. Do not buy it.
This deal as far as I know is in store only.

It doesn't show as available for ISPU as well, says out of stock at nearby stores!

I walked into a store and picked one up and there were more than a few available. Perhaps, you should try tomorrow.

I got lucky today then. I was able to trade Halo 4 as one of my Trade 2 Get 60 trade-in. And they had my NSMBU for $15, too!

this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
Hello, Future Shop is going to have another $40 trade-in 1 because it was terribly successful.
Hang onto your Mario Bros. U.
The trade-in value is $5 today in Ottawa.
It is also on the trade 2 $60.

They'll probably do Trade 1 for $40 in a few weeks, when the new Animal Crossing is out.

I did it with nhl 13, regular trade in value is $13.

The head office is thinking right after or during E3.
The list I glanced at was the one available to you online. Currently, Luigi's Mansion is on the Trade 2 for 60.
No word on the upcoming list.
Nu Mario Bros U will for sure be on the trade 1 for 40 because it is THE BEST game on Wii-U, according to Future Shop.
It sure as hell beats Nintendo Land.
Also, Starsign DS jRPG is 4.95, and FF2 PSP is 4.95, many titles are on clearance.
Get your butts over there!
Metroid: Other M, a game I purchased for 9.99 at Wal-mart, is now $75.00 there.
