The defacto #1 gaming console for the next 5+ years and you want folks on a gaming forum to talk you out of it? Okay... well...
Ummm... what PS4 games are you most interested in? Because if you're only hyped about cross-gen and you've already got a system that can play those titles, you can always wait. But I don't see the PS4 being less than $379 Canadian any time soon.

This?
hmmm. Still unsure.
I'm just really cheap. Plus I have a huge backlog. Killzone and Knack is coming down to $20 at Wal Mart this week, but I wish there was more cheaper software available

This is what would dissuade me as well.
That and the superior white version coming out relatively soon.

Aww man, I already have that. Crap. I knew there was a good reason not to buy this. I let the scarcity of the package get to me. I'll probably return it too.
get it at shoppers, ideally after it drops back to $400 (hopefully it will)
there's always one promotion or another you can take advantage of there. if you have a parent or grandparent who can help you out, then you can get 20% off on thursday, for example. you can even combine the discount with a points redemption and get a really good deal.
If you already have MGS4 and the HD collection then only MGS1. I contacted amazon and told them that my package was missing the artbook, they offered me a free return or a 20% partial refund. I took the refund as i dont want to spend 80$ on the artbook version and i dont have any of the MGS games on PS4. So the game ended up costing me 35$, which isn't so bad i guess.

This Friday SDM has an offer for 10% off and 10X the points at the same time, if you wanna buy a PS4 you will get it for $405 plus about $80-90 in points that you can use for games or extra controllers! Same applies to any other console! Pretty good deal in my opinion!
Any people contact Bestbuy on Last of Us Remastered price on their E3 preorder?
I was thinking if Amazon is the better option now that its pre-order price guarantees the lowest price on top of the E3 promo discount.
Did the Amazon adjust their promo discount based on the price drop from 69.99 to 51.99?

Recently I made myself broke to the point where I can barely afford cheap food for over a month by buying a PS4. I was worried I'd get terrible buyer's remorse... I did not. I say go for it hotshot!
Free shipping to boot. Yummy Yum Yum.....I'd buy it on principle alone. No way is the price for the console gonna be that good anytime soon.
Don't get it
There's nothing to play on it now, he's just better off waiting for a Black Friday deal.
Cross-posting but:
Pretty good deals on Injustice Ultimate Edition (digital):
PS4 - $8.40

Hey guys,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I have a quick question for you guys. I'm moving to Toronto next month for my Master's Degree at UofT and I'm currently looking at my internet options. TekSavvy seems like the best bet, but I can't decide on a plan.
Basically I'm looking at either DSL 25 or Cable 30. Probably unlimited either way. Is there any real disadvantage to going with DSL? It's quite a bit cheaper, at $58 a month for unlimited vs $75 for unlimited on cable.
Anyway I'm sure some of you in here have experience with teksavvy and all that. Figured it might be a good place to ask and I don't know much about cable vs DSL. If any of you are in Toronto and on a good plan that you like feel free to suggest others.

I was too lazy to drive to Wal-Mart and did my first PM ever at Target for Killzone PS4. Was pleasantly surprised by how smoothly it went. They just needed to check the Wal-Mart flyer, and I was out in no time. It's kinda scary how empty Target (mine at least) is compared to WM. I hope they don't go out of business.

I can't really compare them to Walmart, so many people go to Walmart for groceries then they shop for other stuff! Target is not really competing in the grocery market!

I'm not an optimum member, so by the time my card ships it will probably be past Friday. Thanks, though.
This is a good deal for people who don't have PS+
Unless something's changed recently, I'm pretty sure you don't need to sign up online, can just do it in-store right there. And een if you sign up online, I think you can print a temporary card and pick it up in-store on your next visit.
(just FYI by the way, not trying to pressure you into buying it from Shoppers or anything lol)

You can try the Toronto Community thread for more impressions. I've had both, but I prefer cable because it gives me the option to upgrade at a later time (which I did).
Both will have outages, though cable seems to have more outages since Rogers likes to dick around with Teksavvy lines.

Meh some people swear by DSL and some by cable. Teksavvy is great. I used to have DSL with them and then out of nowhere one day my speed was worse. Bell kept giving teksavvy the run-around in terms of why, I switched to cable, solid as a goddamn rock. Rarely ever an issue and very consistent. I haven't had an outage in my area in forever, other than the ice storm of course.
I'm sure the DSL has gotten better over time though.

Any idea about AmiAmi shipping cost to Canada? they won't tell you shipping cost until you place the order which is annoying! Basically I'm buying a 1/6 figure!
doctorcdcs
Member
Man, AmiAmi has a Neptunia figure I want, but they have some weird policies. Apparently you can't cancel orders and now you're saying you can't even find out the shipping price until you place the order? Does not make any sense to me.
Edit: Oh there are some price estimates at the bottom of the page:
A 1/6 Figure will probably range anywhere from $15 all the way to $40 for EMS shipping I think (or $8.50-$25 for SAL unregistered). 1/6 is a pretty large scale, so a big deciding factor will be the box dimensions.
I had an order that had a D-Arts figure, a 1/7 Scale, and a RAH figure, and it was only 6,520 yen...
Nah, I'm still bitter about the Betamax machine the guy at the Sony stored conned my family into getting in the 80's, so no PlayStations for me.
You actually need to email them and give the product ID of the item you want. They will email you the weight and you will look at their shipping table. Pretty hassle lol
How about in HLJ? Don't they have that figure?
You think that's bad? I don't even have a PS3! :O Waiting for Persona 5...patiently...
I don't have one yet, although I don't know if I can still be counted since I live in Japan now.

and to get a call back from this job x_x
I contacted them and they offered me a 20% refund or a replacement. I took the partial refund.

I'm on DSL 25 in downtown Toronto. One thing that isn't so great is that you're beholden to the quality of your phone line and the DSLAM (or whatever they call the local routing hub) you're getting service from. In my case, I couldn't get the full 10mbps upload because my line wasn't quite up to spec, and I live in a 20-year-old condo. That said, I think my connection is more like 25/7, which is more than sufficient for the occasional Twitch streaming and online backup. Download speed is fantastic, never really notice any issues with time-of-day stuff (I know with cable there used to be a thing where during peak periods your speeds would drop, though I don't know if that's still true).
Another downside to DSL 25 is that when I got it, you had to use Bell's shitty Sagemcom modem, and I had some problems with mine so I had to go through two troubleshooting sessions. The first guy was very patient and helpful, and didn't give me "did you turn it off and then on again" crap once he understood I have some tech experience. He couldn't solve the problem but offered to replace the modem, which I tried to do after going away for vacation. I called back and the second guy I got was very curt, not all that pleasant, but managed to fix my situation in five minutes without having me return my modem. So, uh, Teksavvy tech support is hit and miss, I guess, but generally pretty decent.
All in all, I'm definitely glad I upgraded to DSL 25 and would recommend it to others, assuming you're okay with the minor caveats above. Teksavvy will tell you beforehand if you can't reach the full advertised speeds when they check your landline (though I don't know if they can do this with new installs if you're getting dry-loop).
woah, four whole people lol
can't believe Sony and MS haven't dropped prices yet. Like, officially and not through a sale.
see, that's the kicker. I bought a PS3 mainly for Japanese games. They don't exist on the PS4 yet soo... yeah.
Would be sick having a standalone white PS4
just buy that on a PS3

Thanks, sounds good then. I'll be sure to double check about the modem thing, maybe things are different now than they were when you did it.

And I thought I'm the only one bothered by their policy!
6520 yen for shipping isn't really a low price
Thanks for pointing me out to that store, never had a look at it!

I don't have one and probably won't get one until the end of the generation when it has a library worth playing that I can't get on PC
