Where can I find War for Cybertron brand-new sealed? Gotta start growing my PS3 collection for when I get a bracket for my 500GB HDD.

Has anyone seen any good deals on the xbox one, I know best buy has the console+ tomb raider, but I am looking for a bit more.

They're mostly sold out from what I've noticed. Have you tried any of the toys r us locations?
Toys r us tends to have older bundles. Though try calling first. I'm relatively certain I saw one at the toys r us in market mall a few days ago.
Also try looking online EB games to see if any of the locations in the city have some stock. They're decent with letting you know.

Sold out everywhere here in Vancouver except the odd walmart. I suggest cheking their stock online before heading out. Amazon has them in stock as well

For certainty, Amazon or ebay would be a good bets (resellers)
Otherwise u can try and chance the larger stores.
If u can't find one, I'm assuming the reason you want brand new is so u have mint condition cases etc
If u find a relatively good used copy, one thing I did was grab a bunch of cheap ps3 games at walmart (5$ ones if u can happen across them like eye Petz and all that) and then I swapped the covers and discs for the brand new ones.
I then took the older case crappy games and traded them in. U don't get much for the trades (we're talking a dollar or so) but my focus was getting new official cases
It works great for games u get a fair bit cheaper than retail but still want a new case to go along with it. Might not be everyone's thing but it's decent and can make games much more appealing for resell as well

I know someone else has pointed this out, but you just have the weirdest requests for this thread most of the time.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've actually been playing BF4 since release and yeah its pretty good now, though it took them far to long to get it too this point. I double dipped on PC and XB1 to play with friends, oops. I picked up CoD Ghosts during an amazon sale to play with friends a few weeks ago, but I find I just can't get into CoD anymore.
Oh man, good luck with that. I had a few knew injuries in the past, mostly from sports and including a surgery few years ago. I can tell you it isn't fun at all but I guess you could get tons if gaming done
Sorry to hear about your past injuries too. I broke it into 3 pieces inline skating by hitting a metal divider that stuck out between two pieces of sidewalk concrete, which stopped me dead and threw me onto my knee. Pretty annoying cause its a fairly new section of flat sidewalk, oh well.. Recovery is taking quite a while and I can only start physio in about 3 weeks, but yeah I'm getting some good gaming time in between just getting Deus Ex: HR on Wii U, Tomb Raider and Wolfenstein on XB1 and a few more games on the Steam summer sales. Also have some backlog to pick from as well.

I could get that depending of how much you want to pay for it!
Edit: Also 52.49 + shipping on amazon.ca

Why do you need a bigger HDD if you're looking for physical copies of games?

I'm not even gonna try. I'm still getting them below retail, and as far as I'm concerned it's the gamble you make when you preorder a ton of games. I saved like $450 with all my orders, I'm not gonna harp over another 10.
Consoles too. Went to mine (downtown Montreal) after work today, and saw Wii U Deluxe for $233, PS3 and 360 for $99, Vita for $130 (sold out though) and 2DS for $70.
Would have loved a Vita at that price.
Was tempted to buy AC4 PS4 for $30 and Lightning Returns 360 for $20, but they will probably hit that price or lower by the end of summer.

So I'm in Mississauga and my Ipad Mini screen is shattered.
Is there a place I can go to and get it fixed besides the Apple store?

Interesting. Does anyone have the details on this clearance? Tried searching Staple's site to no avail. Maybe my navigation skills suck right now.

Staples is getting out of video games. The stores in Toronto seem to be already picked clean.

If you need help with that let me know and I can help with the purchase and shipping if you want.

I hear the commercials on 680 News all the time but haven't had a need to use them.
Went to my staples and they had a lot of very good deals. I guess it has its advantage to live in the middle of nowhere.
It's too bad I don't have a Xbox One or PS4 yet because they had all games at 30$ and under and they take off 25% on top of it at the register. Dead Rising 3, Ryse, Killzone Shadow Fall, Knack Thief, Ass Creed 4 and more were all 29.97$. So at checkout with the 25% off it should be 22.50$ each.
The Metal Gear V prologue were 19.97$
They had a lot of 360/PS3 games too. Got Lightning Returns for 14.98 after the 25% off and I think it's a good price for it.
Saw Resident Evil Revelaitons 360/PS3 for 19.97$
3DS section had a poor selection. The Pokemon Mysterious Dungeon game for 19.97$ and the Mario Party game for 30$.
The Hot Shot Golf for Vita is 14,97$ and Kill Zone Mercenary is 29,97$
Didn't check Wii U much but I saw the Lego City Undercover for 39.97$ (so I guess 30$ after the 25% off).
3DS XL were 103.54$ or something. Apparently they are 99.99$ according to the clearance sticker on it but there is some eco fee added to it. With the 25%off they should be close to 78$.
There was also a bunch of PC games and console peripherals like that Call of Duty Ghosts headset on clearance.
They are really giving up on video games lol

They did at my location. Lightning Returns was 19.97$ and they took of 25% off so I paid 14.98$ + taxes.

I'm looking to grab an LCD Vita, anybody seen any Canadian retailer deals? Was hoping the run up to Canada Day might result in some savings.
None so far. The best deal we had was the $25 off from thesource when the bundle launched.

Went into my local EB, they had lowered the price of TLOU Remaster to match Sony at 54.99, but didn't even know it. The employees are great, I feel like they get docked by EBgames as much as we do.

Wait is it supposed to be $30? If so I need to find one.

Who else pointed this out?
Why do you think I commonly call them "unique"?
I could try used. I just don't like buying used copies unless they are DIRT cheap.
And I mentioned my HDD is because I'm a PS+ user so I have a shit ton of digital games already claimed. Also WFC isn't available digitally (FOC is but it's $60, da hell?).
This too was my experience, game wasn't discounted but the accessories were.
That's how you know Kijij's gotten to popular for its own good.

It's very hit and miss, the first one I went to around Upper Canada Mall did it no prob, but the ones in Toronto proper like in downtown don't.
Would've been such a good saving on the PS3 I just bought.

Yeah, it's getting there, but I found that ad kinda funny.
No way I'd actually do a deal like that though.
On an aside, Another guy locally is trying to sell a used Wii U, knock off brand wiimote/nunchuck, and 3 terrible games...his asking price started at something like $500!
Some people really are nuts.
He's since lowered it to $240. haha.

Is there any online evidence of the sale on the Staples website? I couldn't find any. I ask because I've had walmart pricematch clearance game hardware from staples before. A few months ago the 3DS XLs were marked down by $20 or so at Staples but were sold out and the shelf was empty...I took a photo of the sale sticker on my phone and brought it to walmart and they gave me the discounted price. Having some online proof of the sale would be a good way to get stuff on discount at walmart when it's sold out at Staples.

Was checking out walmart's webiste today and saw that Gran Turismo 6 is 20 bucks with fee shipping.
http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/gran-turismo-6-ps3/6000109165275
Decided to grab it. I've never really played a GT before. I think I had some sort of demo for a ps2 version and I sucked really bad at it. 20 bucks seems like a decent price to give it a shot.
Not sure if this is already known or what. Seems like it is 30 bucks everywhere else.

Try offering him some chicken nuggets and mountain dew for it instead.
Hey guys. I have a neat question for yall.
I have the Mario Kart 8 free game promo, right? I have all of the games.
The games are New Super Mario Bros. U, Pikmin 3, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, or Wii Party U.
So, I offered the free game to anyone on here for 20 bucks, but no takers, as Im probably late to the party on that..
So I figure, I can probably just trade in one of the disc versions and download the digital *free version.
Im trying to figure which game I can get the most value for.
I know of this site http://www.tivs.ca/Nintendo-Wii-U/ , but some reason a lot of stores dont have values filled in, even on a game like Zelda.
Can I call best buy and ask trade in values?

I'd check RFD threads on the sales. People are posting receipts. http://forums.redflagdeals.com/staples-getting-out-video-game-business-clearance-deals-ymmv-1473744/27/
It's worth a shot. The worst case is they deny you that info for whatever bullshit reason.
People price match photos of receipts?

I went to staples today totally by chance, place Dupuis in montreal, came out with super mario 3d world for 29$ - 25%. Wow. I took the last box too!
