Happy Canada Day GAF
Had my holiday yesterday with lots of pool and sun(burns) so I won't complain being in a cold office today.
Nice to start my day with a laugh! Happy Canada Day thread posters + deal lurkers!
It's my first July here

Anyone interested in a copy of sniper elite 3 for xbox one? Paid $40 for it through the amazon deal. Its going to cost me $6 to return it.
PM me - I'm looking to unload it at cost.

I don't own a single red thing. Pretty lame I know. All my shirts are white/blue/black.
My shift is similar though I start an hour earlier and end an hour earlier. Work sucks sometimes.

Dang, if it was PS4 you'd have a deal.

I have two extra copies for PS4 if you're interested let me know!
Having a hard time getting access to my orders on BB website and ended up with double/triple orders of some games!
If it was PS4 I would have taken it off your hands.
You can't cancel it anymore?

I have a somewhat odd request that I'm hoping someone can assist. Over the last month, I recall entering a The Source and seeing a clearance DSi point card at $10 (essentially) half price. I've almost retraced my steps and can't spot it. Anyone have any idea where?
In short: where can I find cheap wii/DSi points

Jesus. If that's what Prime gets you, fuck Amazon. That said, I still don't have a shipping notice for Rorona. Hilariously, I walked into Game Centre at Bloor/Yonge in Toronto looking for random old games and Rorona Plus is on the wall as a new release. If not for the E3 discount, it would've been the fourth time in a row I've cancelled an Atelier pre-order on Amazon.
Still: preferable to Best Buy/Future Shop making me walk to a post office.
Except it used to be way, way, way better. Amazon.ca used to deliver for release date or the day after with free shipping in downtown Toronto. It's been getting steadily worse over the past year or two. Either Canada Post is shitting the bed (unlikely, since other stuff seems to be okay) or Amazon is purposely holding your stuff back just to get you to pay for Prime. Why should I support that bullshit with my money?

You mean since they introduced Prime?
I live in downtown Vancouver, and I always get my deliveries in pretty decent time. It isn't always release day (though sometimes it is), but certainly never long enough to warrant any dissatisfaction considering the shipping is free. There are certain cases, such as in the thick of the Holiday season, or on like a massive game release (like aCall of Duty), that I assume there are thousands of the same thing being shipped out, so I just figure it isn't realistic to expect it in one or two days.
Ah, that was fast. What's your shipping? Prime? Saver? Express?

I'd rather make some money than spend some tbh. Have a good shift later guys!

Guacamelee was made by former Pseudo Interactive folks, who made Cel Damage and Full Auto.

Happy Canada day GAF!
I saw those at maxi the other day and was skeptical...will have to try them then.
Happy Canada Day!
Edit ; mdubs how does that work ? Do we need to contact them or its automatic? I did pre-order FC4 from amazon as well
Re-edit , talked with amazon live chat - its automatic but they adjustede it for me to see right away anyways
Not only is Guacamelee Canadian, but I walked right by Drinkbox Studios once and had no idea. Their studio is in a crummy sorta building a little west of downtown Toronto.

Dunno how much luck you'll have at retail these days. That said, I was in a couple of used game stores in Toronto over the weekend and they've got plenty of used PSPs available, so maybe try that route if you're in a large-ish city?
Well, shit. You disliked DR, so you better not be wrong about this game too. ;P Really, I'm just jealous you have your copy already.
Seriously though, this is gonna be my first Atelier game. So excited. Anything wrong with playing this before the others?
It's sitting at the local UPS facility right now, but not scheduled for delivery until Thursday for some reason. I better get game my game today.
Does anyone know where I can get a cheap wireless router that doesn't consistently drop connection? I have a D-Link DIR-615, and the piece of shit drops connection on every device consistently (phone, laptop, pc). I don't care about wireless gaming performance, since all of my gaming devices are wired in. I just want something that I will stay connected to when I am 3 feet away from the god damn device, and N is prefered but G will work fine too if there is a big price difference.

Nope! Rorona is the first chronologically in the Arland trilogy, so play with confidence!
Cool! My tracking has been updated to "Destination Scan" and the arrival date has been changed to today. Yours ship yet?
Edit: Just read again that it hasn't yet. That sucks, dude. The only reason I got prime is because I made a large order, and it was cheaper than paying for shipping. I share with my friends and family, so it's been worth it in that regard. I wish they had the same sharing feature that Amazon.com has. And getting my game a week late is dumb.

Have this one and it dropped connections constantly, but it's WAY better now that I installed the DD-WRT custom firmware. It's really not that hard, you should give it a try...!
