Canadian Gaming Deals and Discussion Thread 4: That $70s Show

I just call BB to try and price match Target, the CSR said she cant price match games at least for this particular game. lol But she said people have been calling about the game price being decreased and said she will give me $10 off, which makes it 38.99 for me (from 48.99 E3 deal) anyways?.
How do I check if I got this credited?

Target gives out rainchecks which are valid for a month.

Where do you live? That's awful!
For TLOU PS3->PS4 trade-in deal at EBGames, do they need the Naughty Dog stickers that came inserted with the disc? All I have in mine where a manual would historically be, are the ND stickers and the Online Pass sheet. I ask because I'd like to keep the stickers.
As you can tell, I haven't traded in a game for maybe 10 years.

Haha no, they absolutely don't need the stickers.

Oh damn what'd you use to PM at BB? I might go PM the 39.99 at FS later this week.

w00T!! Futureshop price matched at lunch. Paid $41 with tax.
Didn't think it was going to happen. The girl helping me was looking for a link on the online flyer to check store stock. I told her there wasn't one and that she would probably have to call the closest store. She didn't bother and just put through the transaction without checking any stock.

Ok, sweet haha. That's all I needed to know. It's weird how games don't have manuals these days. Feels incomplete to be trading in something with nothing inside.

Just the Target weekly flyer that said "$15 off all PS4 games". She asked the manager or senior CSR beside her "can we do this?" and the lady said yeah, sure. YMMV of course.

Used my phone and she thankfully missed the $54.99 full price.

She did it on 49.99$ for some reason?
calgary.
It's a little frustrating, but I'm saving a ton of money. However, for games like TLOU, I wish that I could play it this week. I still haven't received the shipping notice, and I'm anticipating receiving the game sometime late next week.

I know your pain man. Also from Calgary and Amazon shipping can range from week/week and a half late to next day arrival.

Yeah same here, at Wal-Mart TLOU Remastered is $49.99, and if you price match using the Target flyer on your phone they can't see the $54.99 list price for the game in the Target flyer (it is just below the game image in very small text), so they just take the $15 off the Wal Mart price.

Nope. She discounted it from the $54.99 - $15 (Target discount). Plus they add their extra discount for price matches to beat the original discounted price. The receipt says "REG 54.99 with 18.00 competitor price beat". Came out to about $41 with tax.
The reason I'm happy she didn't see the $54.99 original TLOU price in the Target flyer is that she would have probably called thinking the deal didn't apply to that specific game and discovered the local Target was Out of Stock.
I just signed up for the Amazon Student Prime account using my old uni address, and while they couldn't upgrade any of my orders to two-day shipping, they have made every order sent with priority shipping. So, I think even if I cancelled prime, priority shipping would still be there.
Also, TLOU is now being delivered by Tomorrow, after talking to the rep.
I'm pretty happy with amazon right now.

Called BB customer support, and I guess I got a bad rep. He looked for it online, but wasn't able to find it. He suggested I email the pictures (I got from this thread, thanks!) to customerservice(at)bestbuycanada.ca
Sigh...Not really much of a deal....if I gotta go through all this to get the right goddamn price for it.

Drop by the Bestbuy retail store and fix it there.

Going to trade in Beyond: Two Souls, GTA V and God of War Ascension since I believe HD remakes for all are on the way, but I'll be quite upset if they have similar $25 trade deals lol.

Hmm, that's pretty awesome
Futureshop was offering me 15$ for GTA V (360 ver) last weekend. I said no thanks.
I did trade Washdogs PS4 for 30$ and Injustice (the first release on 360) for 10$, I consider those decent. I think they made a mistake for injustice, they probably gave me the GOTY value.
no sale its just available (VITA version) for NA now so i just ordered it and got a nice surprise
it is AWESOME!!! tonight i shall play!!!

Weird, I checked it out on the PSN Web store, and it doesn't say anything about "playable on" both systems, just whichever one I chose it for. I ain't biting unless i know I'm getting both.

Double check this. I'm not totally sure but I believe a game shows up as "playable" on PS3 sometimes even when all you can do is download it to your PS3 to transfer to Vita. If you had bought the PS3 version and it said playable on Vita, that's much more likely to indicate cross-buy.

I just price matched for Last of Us PS4 for at the Robson Futureshop in Downtown Vancouver.
They checked the flyer in depth, so I'm sure anyone else who shows up today will get it too.

will do!
I just want to share my TLoU PM success story here. I went to a local Best Buy in London and when I said I was inquiring about a price match on the game, they said, "The $15 from Target, right?", and without hassle or even confirmation, they gave me the $15 + 10% of the difference off (saving $16.50). I was lucky enough to have two Reward Zone coupons too and got another $10 off, so I got a copy for $33.50 after tax. For anyone interested, I'm sure the other Best Buy's around here would be just as quick to give the discount, and they had plenty of copies left.

Haha, looking at all your receipts I realize that I paid more than some of you because I pre-ordered with E3 order.
Game from E3 was 48.99$ so their 10% difference was .90cents. Someone who never pre-ordered from E3 would buy the game at 54.99 so the 10% would be 1.50$... Could not understand why I paid more than other people here... Because I used a 30% off promotion 2 months ago, of course!

What the fuck!? Do I seriously have to fucking go down to a store to get this shit done?

Yes... Which is so confusing and does not match what their policy says on the website.
Future shop. I'm pretty confused.

protip if youre going to block out the store number and locaton (for whatever reason) keep in mind its printed again just below the info as a 09XX XXX XXXX for till info. but dont worry your secrets safe with me (i know what store 936 is, worked at bby)
You make me think of this... (always happen to one of us haha)
I don't even need the game now...as long as it does come..no email..no charge..idk what they would be waiting for...
