I know what you mean. I've had this issue with amazon regarding TLOU and previous games, all ordered from the E3 deal. What you can do is opt in for the free prime 30 day trial, and ask them to switch your shipping to prime 2 day. However, they can't switch it to 'Prime Shipping', so they change all your orders to priority. Which means even if you cancel prime, you still have priority shipping. Good luck.
TLDR: switch to free prime, get priority shipping, cancel prime when 30 days is up.

I ended up buying Lego City Undercover on the eShop yesterday and I have no regrets -- it loads significantly faster from my external HDD than it does from the disc.
Hit up Target here in Fredericton yesterday.
Selection was pretty barren except for some of the WiiU chaffier games, sports titles, and Dishonored/CoD Ghosts/Battlefield/sports games. Bigger titles mostly gone (Wonderful 101, Zelda WW HD, NSMBU, Wii Fit U seemed to be the only 'major' WiiU titles getting a deep discount). I did get the last copy of Diablo 3 PS3 for $10 (couch co-op woo!).
They had a boatload of white Wiimote+ for $10, though (blue and black had been on sale but sold out). No other controller sales afaik -- was hoping for a pro controller but sadly none in stock and no deal anyway.
Dude working the till said someone came and basically bought a ton of games/Wiimotes on the first day, yay resale. :/

yes
flyer i saw at work last week starting the 8th says "10% off all online gaming cards" from 8th-14th, you should see the leaked flyer anytime now
Makes no sense. Every sales is a limited time offer.
Does this include eShop? If so I'm totally in.

If you can, I think it is better to wait for black friday and boxing day, during which there are better deals over all. Might as well get couple around that time rather than now.
I bought my XB1 a couple of weeks ago. I have until around early september of gold trials left to do (30 day with the console, then 14 days in the box, 2x 7 days trials from games and a 3 day trial from another game lol) so I'll probably need gold before black friday.

I think it was couple of weeks before the launch of Titanfall, I managed to get Live for $38 at Costco and no tax required and no membership.
I just placed an order online and they managed to email me the code the next day or so, good price I guess. I think couple of other Gaffers got in on that deal as well.
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!

Thanks for posting the receipt! The target I checked out didn't have any deals, but I got Tropical Freeze for $16.60 at Future Shop thanks to you.
No way! I tried yesterday and they told me that they wouldn't honor it since I wasn't allowed to give them the number of the store or a receipt.
Anyone want to help me out

HOW? I did the same thing, same place, was denied. :/ Granted I used the receipt from earlier, but same thing, they said they don't do receipt matching. :/

Was 39.99 for a while at EB if I'm not mistaken, surprised that it went back to full price!

The FS rep at the customer service desk I dealt with was awesome. Just be friendly, volunteer the information and be clear. YMMV.

No. They don't charge any taxes on prepaid cards and even their subscription cards.

Tomorrow, right?
Anyone?

Hmmm price matching at fs/bb will be a good idea.
It's not yet up for pre-order.
They are as good as cash in that particular store.
I don't know if things have changed, but one time a couple years ago Wal-Mart had a deal on PSN cards and I tried to PM at Best Buy... they said they can't PM money cards.

How did you remove them so nicely? Whenever I do it, I always end up damaging the case of the game.

Tomorrow?
So a one year card would be $45? Versus, $44 on Amazon.ca but amazon charges taxes so it would be $50...
Lightning fluid. seriously try it

REALLY? I had no idea.

Okay I am probably going to get $100 XBL credit for $90. Not bad. I am planning to go all digital for exclusive games this year. Sunset Overdrive, Halo and Forza. I also have them ordered from BB E3 deal. Need to make decision soon.
Its not officially on sale yet, may be at Gamescom they will announce.
Damn it, I bought some XBL and eShop cards last week.it's not just the time cards
Ohh. I guess I'll just try my luck tomorrow if they will let me do it or not since it's not mentioned on their "price beat promise".

They've been in NCIX's Weekend Sales for $15 quite often, so you might want to wait until tomorrow evening to see if they are again.
AFAIK, they're the best computer speakers you can get near that price range. I've tried some $10 ones and they were total crap, but these speakers have clean sound with good volume even from the far side of a room. Obvious downsides: They're computer speakers. They're kind of small, and they're analog-stereo. If you want better, you'll probably have to spend in the ~$100 range, or consider hooking your computer up to a dedicated home theater audio system.
