Only interesting things on friday were Sonic Lost World and Batman Origins (WiiU). I debated getting them, but by the time I made my mind on saturday, they were already gone...!

here's how a price match will go at FS/BB
you ask for a pm
they try to make some shit up on the spot - 'oh this is a temporary sale/door crash/etc we don't price match those'
if you feel like continuing further, they will call target, ask for the prices, ask for stock, this will probably take 15+ mins
they will make up more shit, or just say they don't have it in stock

Depends of the employees you get. I have never been denied. But yes, you have to be ready for it possibly being an annoying waste of time.

I think that you should have no problem selling it in the Buy/Sell/Trade thread as the code should works for the US too.

Thanks! I'm not sure if it would work in the US or if you'd need a new Canadian account. I couldn't redeem the 10$ code that came with the system in my US account.

How much are you selling it for?
Missed out on trading my ps3 copy in at EB because my brother had my copy.

How much would you sell for though lol

I don't know, I don't have any experience with this sort of thing. I'll check the Buy/sell/trade thread.
If any of you guys want it you can let me know how much you're willing to pay.

I can't redeem US codes for PSN money. However, DLC and full games codes from US and other way around always redeem without a hitch. Can let people know that it's a code from Canada but that it should work for US too. Most people are aware of how it works.

So apparently it is possible for people to share their US amazon prime membership with family members. Does anyone know if this is possible on amazon canada?

Nah, Amazon.ca doesn't offer any family sharing. At least not using different accounts. It's dumb. You can always share a single account, I guess.

I tried receipt matching at my future shop but he said he needed a physical receipt or website, guess someone has tried before with him

It's a little ridiculous that my local Target has a big price match sign over the electronics section yet they won't price match other Target stores.

I went to check the Dartmouth Target today and it was predictably cleared out... except Ultra Street Fighter IV was already clearance priced ($11.99) on the endcap. Since it just launched today, it MIGHT be available for you.

If by some miracle it lasts to Thursday at that price, I'll probably grab it and return the Best Buy E3 preorder.

Any good deal going on for 12/13 months XBL Gold codes going one that doesn't require you to jump through weird hoops like that cdkey promo we had a couple of days ago?

Dead Rising 3 was still 60$ at the Target I went. Boo. :(

I pricematched Just Dance 2014 at Futureshop instead. It's for my girlfriend, I swear!

Easiest hoops to jump through, you should give it a shot. :p

Those are EU codes. Some reason they come in game boxes.

What? Haha... Might take my run toward Target. I have a feeling that this one might be rare, though.

Edit: All my Target are saying that they don't even have the game. However, the last place told me no very quickly and it did not sound like a game specialist (if you know what I mean). Did they just got tired of receiving 10000 calls due to the current sale and now they just don't bother? haha

For those still looking in Toronto!

Richmond Hill Target has SM3DW AND DKC:TF on for 14.99 and 20.40 respectively. Asked FS to call for the match. Posed no problem for the CSR. That translated to the below purchase I made not 10 minutes ago at FS Dundas Square. Good luck!

Damn, if this was posted before I went to lunch.

I am really having no luck with this deal. My girlfriend went to a Target in Ajax and they weren't even doing the sale.

Ohhh Kijiji people you can get my blood pumping. Some guys wanted my Last of Us PS4 sealed for 40$. I sell it for 9$ less than Best Buy, Futureshop and EBGames and 2.50$ less than Amazon and no need to wait for their slow free shipping. He tells me "Good luck selling it to an unaware customer", as if I am ripping people off...

Holy crap I may go check this out.

Do you just go into future shop and tell them the Richmond Hill Target has the sale? Do I need a flyer?

Considering all the deals that were out there for that game, I'd have to agree $53 is high.

What was your asking price? Amazon.ca does still have it for 49.99.

For someone who needs it today, there is no deal at all. It's buy it for 63$ with taxes in a store or save 10$ with mine (or just a few bucks but get it now instead of waiting for Amazon delivery). Should I sell 20$ less than in store instead of 10$ because there use to be deal that people did not use?

Edit: Not like I ever try rip off people. When I don't want to keep a game from E3 I sell it for a bit less than in-store so I usually make a profit equal to what the person who buys it saves from not buying it in a store.

I had a couple pics on my phone of RFD poster receipts just in case, but they didn't ask. I politely offered the phone number for the Target I had confirmed was offering the price (Richmond hill) and she did the rest.

Do they actually restock clearance games? Local target had W101 for $10 - exactly what I'm willing to pay for it - but was all out.

Jesus Christ @ RH Target sales. The randomness of these clearances is pretty annoying. If anyone is willing to pick up extra copies of SM3DW and TF, I'd greatly appreciate it...
