Hmmm. I'm quite tempted. I'll probably check the store later
So all 2 of them?
Only today or?
They need to put vita memory card on sale.
Yeah, today only. Hopefully they will allow PM + 20% off and I'll buy the MLB game xD
Here's where I saw that: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/vip-sale.aspx?fullsite=true&cmp=sm_tw_dls
yeah it's part of some one-day sale including other stuff. This is the only gaming related deal.

The funny thing about this is that SD cards are on sale and it's only 3 spaces to the right of the Vita sale, and I need to buy a bigger one for my 3DS. hahahaha.... Sony why.
The Vita section in the stores near me are pretty much a wasteland but they sometimes have a few new-ish games and a few old games on clearance which nobody wants. I probably wouldn't go out of my way for 20% but I think I'll be passing by a FS this afternoon so I might have a quick look.
Last week I saw a copy of Invisamals for PSP with the camera in a clearence bin. I figures I'd grab it if it was cheap just to fool around with the camera. Scanned it and it came up at $44.99. Its 4 years old, nobody wants it, and the store still refuses to mark it down. How do I have a knack for finding old stock stupidly at original price instead of on cleanence?

So I preordered professor layton vs phoenix wright during the E3 sale thing on best buy's website. The game has not shipped yet, wondering if anyone's copy has?
I was gonna cancel just now but they charged me already lol. Oh well I'll decide when i get it now
Man I traded in Watch Dogs + Infamous yesterday Future Shop or the 70$ gift card and I was the first person to take advantage of the promo... and it took them TWENTY minutes I was so annoyed, something about the couldn't the account code to add the extra 10$ (they rang up at 60$)
Reallllly turned me off from trading in at FS.
I posted this in the TV thread, maybe someone here might know:
EDIT :: well nvm, I got in touch with Vizio
Thanks in advance guys. 519 represent.Does anyone know if there's a way to get a 70 inch Vizio in Canada? I bought a 47 refurb on Tiger a many years ago for real cheap before it was an established brand and it's been great. I'm looking for a new E-Series 70 inch. The $1500 price point at that size is hard to resist.
Can't find anything in Canada though
EDIT :: well nvm, I got in touch with Vizio
Not yet either. Hopefully they put Danganronpa 2 in the same shipment since Sept 1 is a holiday.
To be honest, you were lucky that they still did the trade 2 for $70 since it already expired from last week.
The stupid thing is that I knew that. I guess I had a memory lapse! Thanks for reminding me.
I have only traded in to FS once, and it also took forever. It wasn't even a promotion, just a regular trade in. Took at least 20 minutes.

It isn't even the employees' fault either, their system for trade-ins is set up horrrrriblyyy.

Seems to be a bit better now. I have had 30 minute experiences though.
For some reason Best Buy's system seems to be different.

Would anyone in Ontario mind suggesting a provider/plan for internet? I'm going to Queens and moving into a house with four other students in a week and we still have yet to set the internet up. They stream off Netflix and sites akin to that while I intend to be able to play Destiny online with friends when it launches.
Thanks!
Edit: I was recommended this:

I use Electronic Box without any problems. Though I would look out for flyers around your house for internet, usually the big three has some big discounts for students vs. ordering from their website.

Teksavvy is the best one imo, best service, best price, best packages for unlimited usage.
Edit: cogeco, rogers and bell are all crap, especially bell.
Teksavvy cable. With more than one person using it, I'd strongly suggest at least the 50/4 tier. I used it with three people and we could all stream video at once. With 25/2, it wasn't as smooth. Plus the extra upload can handle someone (annoyingly) using BitTorrent without ruining your download speed.
So I went to FS... not what I was expecting, to say the least.
"20% off all Vita games" is actually "20% off all $19.99 or higher Vita games if you buy 2 or more"
there was also "30% off all pre-owned games $19.99 or higher (any console, I think?) if you buy 2 or more"
Vita game selection was garbage as expected anyway so nothing for me

I'll check them out, thanks! The big three seem to be all over the place for what they offer us, I was looking at bell but I warned about connection speed.
I was looking into Teksavvy but the fastest they offer is 20mpbs in my area.
Hmmm, that was my fear with the other providers in relation to speed. I really don't want to deal with connection issues whilst two or three others attempt to stream something. They use other streaming sites as well that use up even more bandwith.
Should 425 Gigs a month be enough for four students? I'm assuming that's more than beefy enough for us all.
Got notification from PayPal few days ago. Not a real charge, but another authorization for the whole order. No change on BB site, still marked as pre-order. Hope it's gonna be here tomorrow.
It's common that they don't notify about partial shippings, right? I also hope they won't charge my PP for the whole thing, with games that don't even have release dates.
A lot of people say Teksavvy, and I used to agree with them, but I just checked their prices and the packages comparable to my Rogers service is more expensive on Teksavvy. Not to mention, co-workers of mine who have Teksavvy say their technical support is terrible... but they like the prices so they stay with it.
My Rogers 150/15 service with 550GB bandwidth costs me less than $70/month, where as on Teksavvy the same service (with 300GB bandwidth) is $90 and unlimited is $120. The lower tier 60/10 service is about the same price (for 300GB) as my current one, but it's half the speed.
Granted, I don't need 150 down very often but when I'm working from home (which is 50% of my schedule) then having that kind of speed is quite helpful.
I pre-ordered during the same time-frame and mine shipped out yesterday. I should receive it tomorrow, despite what the tracking says.
Uuu where do you live? I'm in Vancouver, warehouse in Richmond, and no shipping info :/

I got that too, but I wouldn't put much stock in it. I can't imagine them delaying it another year haha, especially so soon after the last delay.

Why breh?
$420, eh? Is it from a smoke-free home?
Teksavvy support is fine if you can actually get a hold of someone. I just post on dslreports in the direct forum and get my problem resolved almost immediately. Calling is futile, though. Bandwidth cap is virtually meaningless as Teksavvy doesn't meter your usage at night.
That's interest. My wife and I switched to Teksavvy about a year ago and have had no complaints. For phone and internet we were paying upwards of $100 with Bell and Rogers, now we're paying $70 for both. Luckily I've never had an issue getting in touch with tech support (had to twice for different reasons). Plus I love the unlimited late night/earlymorning bandwidth.

Can someone explain to me on how to change the payment method for best buy preorders. I've tried following their instructions but it's not working.
I use Start Communications and they're great but it looks like they don't really have anything east of Toronto. Do NOT use Cogeco though, they are awful.

I never really play it. Smash Bros looks great, but after that I'm kind of cool on it.
Yup, smoke free home.

I would just call them.
I had an issue once where I placed some pre-orders and I forgot to change my credit card info (the CC I originally used was compromised). For some reason I kept getting error messages on the BB site when I tried to change my payment info to the new CC.
One call to customer service and they changed it for me within minutes.
