You pay tax when you order. This is how my order looked like:
SUBTOTAL: $68.30
SHIPPING COST: $18.00
SALES TAX: $11.22
STORE CREDIT USED$0.00)
TOTAL BEFORE COUPON:$97.52
There shouldn't be any more charges on top of that as I understand it.
Ah, so it's like buying from a local store since you won't pay any customs fees. I wonder if toys are duty free and I just need to pay GST/PST when importing one outside of Canada.

Yeah, it's the problem with Amazon's obnoxious "super-personalized" nature to everyhting. I actually hate how the front page of their site works, how it's tailored to each person's browsing habits (or so they say). I accidentally stumble upon a blender JUST ONCE, and suddenly my front page is full of kitchen/bedroom accessories. It's sooooo annoying. I'd rather just a generic front page that shows me the very best deals at the moment.
I recently went to Rexall, and saw a "sale" where the price went UP 50 cents. The tag proudly stated "SAVE $0.00!" right on there too.

It's weirdly comforting to me because it implies that Amazon's recommendation algorithms are still so basic as to be fooled by dumb things like "I looked at a blender once." Of course, I haven't ruled out that Amazon does this on purpose to make their algorithms look dumber than they actually are.

Try staples? I don't know about the rest of the country but the couple I've been to in Halifax have had 2DS systems for $69.99.
Thanks.
So I assume I have to call them first or do I go straight to the drop off place ?
They both use standard power cords. Old PS3's use C13/C14, new PS3's and the PS4 use C7/C8. Any electronics supply store will have them.
Flyer deal: $40 gift card with PS4 purchase at Wal-Mart

Gotta make each tweet twice. I guess it's easier than having an English and a French account. lol
Oh great, heh and they post in both languages, so now we can find out how we'll get shafted by the Eshop's higher prices. Good times Nintendo!
Lol any suggestions? I guess I'll try the source
It's going to be awkward when they announce contests which Quebec is ineligible for in French
Well, the stores should at least dropped the $70 games to $60. Hopefully dollar will keep on getting stronger.

Yup, guess I'll be waiting for a PS4 for a while longer.

Walmart might deduct the $40 GC off the PS4 price if you buy it online!
Many stores do so but I didn't try though!

I have no beta code. Preordered it a year ago
And here I was getting ready to tie off my arm with my belt, just waiting for the sweet pierce of the needle.

What about BestBuy? I still don't have a code.
btw people, last week I got Ryse for 20$ from Target. Thanks to this thread. Please let me know if there is any other deal at Target. Don't know why but they don't have shit on their website.
I got it from best buy today. Appeared in my Promotions tab in gmail.

I don't have it yet, I ordered it during E3 sale. Xbox One version.
Its for 35$ at Amazon.ca I don't think it will go cheaper than that for some time
Oh shit. I don't use amazon. Is that a sale price? Do I have to pay for shipping?
I've been watching sale threads and RFD for weeks and nobody mentioned that, thx!

Yeah its a sale price, don't know for how long and shipping is free.

oh that sucks, so you can't do price match and get extra 10% off. Check Futureshop, if they have it for 60$ they will do price match.

It was, though Amazon had it up for $450 for a while.
Weird they'd follow the exchange rate for something like that, $470 is an odd price.
It depends on how much the hikes cut into Sony Canada's game sales. Personally I feel that they should see a bump if they revert it ASAP once we get closer to parity, I hope they do this. I'm pretty sure that they've taken a hit, $70 for TLOU Remastered was an utter joke (55$ is somewhat better), and if you bought it on retail there's also high sales taxes in certain provinces.
You would've got your code a long time ago if you preordered last year. I remember getting mine last year.I have no beta code. Preordered it a year ago
And here I was getting ready to tie off my arm with my belt, just waiting for the sweet pierce of the needle.
Do you have a link of some kind? I'm scouring anything futureshop online and I can't find tomb raider on sale in any of the flyers
Edit: nam found some info on cag.
Thx again

I preordered from FS during E3 2013 and got my beta code on 9 Oct 2013. That's odd that yours hasn't arrived. The subject was something like "Regarding your recent order".I have no beta code. Preordered it a year ago
And here I was getting ready to tie off my arm with my belt, just waiting for the sweet pierce of the needle.
Amazon wanted to charge me 2.00 for shipping. That's a good price but you are saying I can get it free?
BeforeU
Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Yeah its free shipping, where do you live? on my page it shows free shipping. You must have selected different shipping option. Stick with standard
You don't see the option (Free Super saver shipping)?
To make sure your infos (and serial numbers) are correctly written, you can fill up a paper on their website, print it and bring it to the drop off place with your console. Keep the wires and controllers etc.
Thank you. You are right. Using the amazon app for the first time and missed a slide down window.
