That means Amazon will apply the rebate to the price advertised on "shipping" date and not when I pre-ordered it back in June, is that correct?
Crazy deal indeed. Best week of the year so far. I'm enjoying my 279$ XBone a lot
Yeah but you can't buy a house for less then 400k.
Unless you want to live in Cambridge and who wants that?
I can't afford to buy a house anywhere anyway
rents would be about the same.Not Blackberry I hope.

Probably but will be very interesting to see how the PSN handles the load of the release. I guess it will help if they are letting people preload (assuming that feature is up for destiny)

I pay $850 for a 2 bedroom utilities included so year Rent isn't too bad. Although there are some expensive as fuck places available for rent.
welcome to the 519
If you're single and into Asians, go right away.
Holy shit, you'll be right at the source. Woo, indeed.
fixed for less telemarketing calls.
Nah. Wilfrid Laurier
Heh. That's less than I'm paying now in Winnipeg. 1k plus utilities.
Woooo!

Get the hell out of there and take the job here. While here, go to Fergus/Elora, 30 min drive to Waterloo, the place to live.

Got my last of us money ready, either Target with the deal and the 5$ receipt coupon, or EBgames with the 5$ coupon I got for buying Watch_Dogs back on Day 1.
P.S. I pay 425 for my part of a 3 bedroom apartment. Reading these 1100$ prices for people is making me hurt.
It can't be for nothing, right?

Yeah, I really should have pre-ordered on Amazon when it was briefly $40. The beta's convinced me it's the Real Deal.
Do it! <3 South Ontario GAF

I ordered ME3 for Wii U off of Best Buy used. The paper cover has a tiny corner which is fine. However, there is a giant (like 1/4 of the back) sticker on the back and the clear plastic part of the case is messed (due to the heat gun they use to wrap them?). What is the best way to get the sticker off? Are there any places I can buy Wii U cases?
when was it 40 dollars?!
Pre-Alpha, and only for a few hours.
You can order wii u cases from Nintendo for I think $5
Single case = $1.50 + $3 shipping.
Because they charge $3 for shipping on orders of $5 or less and $7 for shipping on orders of $5.01 or more it's cheaper to make two orders of 3 cases each (2x3x$1.50 = $9 + 2x$3 shipping for $15 total) if you want 6 of them than to make one order of 6 cases (6x$1.50 = $9 + $7 shipping for $16 total). It starts being cheaper to make one order once you want more than 6 cases.
Edmonton is crazy expensive. we're paying 1395 right now for a 3 bedroom townhouse, which is very cheap it seems. Cause when we were looking for a place last year, most 3 bedroom were 1800/2000$

Damn, that seems expensive. At most I only need 3 (ME3, Mario Kart, and my Tekken case came messed).
3 cases would mean $7.50 (3x$1.50 + $3 shipping). It looks like they only have red WiiU cases also. They have red or white Wii cases if you want to go that route.

If they only have red Wii U cases that ruins the point. I wanted a blue one for Mario Kart to be uniform.
I guess $2.50 each isn't that bad when it is from Nintendo directly.
I have a blue case kicking around the house. I bundled it together with two Wii cases and sold it on eBay only for some dummy account to bid on it, so now I have to go to the hassle of sticking with some false bid for another month only to still have the thing still in my house.
What I'm saying is, maybe I can hook you up in September.

OMG OREO DONUT AT TIM HORTONS!!
Speaking of jobs, you know what sucks? Lunch/breaks not being paid
I started at a place last week that requires employees to put in 8 hours every day but lunch is not included in that period. I don't know how common that is but after working at places where the policy was "doesn't matter as long as your work is getting done".
And oreo iced capps! It's kinda lame though. It's a regular iced capp with whipped cream and a pitiful amount of oreo chunks on top. I don't know if the lady who made it (she was a trainee) did it incorrectly though cause the promotional image shows oreo chunks blended into the iced capp itself.

Before taking my leave of absence this summer I learned that while I've been working 40 hour weeks for the last three years - my contract is only for 35 hour weeks.
Salary, so nope.

Thanks, but I don't have PayPal. I probably should get around to making one soon.
I think in NS you only get paid for breaks if you have to be available to potentially do work during them, so if your employer gives you a lunch break where you can leave the premises and do whatever you won't get paid, but if they're just letting you take breaks as work permits without letting you leave then they have to pay you. They have to give you at least a 30 minute break for a shift of 5 hours, and I know I usually get paid for that in my 6-hour shifts because there's no specific scheduled time where I'll get that 30 minutes, but I usually end up working as I eat my lunch anyway, because they're rarely actually able to give us that 30-minute break. Sometimes I wish I had 30 minutes to myself where they didn't pay me, just so I could take an actual break in those shifts.

Is Mario and Sonic at Sochi worth $17? Target has it and I want to decide whether or not to get it by Wednesday.

With or without the Wiimote?

I live almost directly across the road from Laurier. It's a really nice area. I hope you enjoy it!
Print it off from the orders in your account on the site
You don't even need to do that. Just walk in with the game + the credit card that made the purchase. I always pulled up the receipt from my account on my phone but it wasn't ever necessary. I don't know what happens if the order was paid for with PayPal.

Without. If it had the Wiimote I would have bought it without a second thought.
