Wow, that's great! That seems to be the Wal-Mart that the girlfriend and I visit most often, so I'll definitely make sure to bring the 3DS the next time we go. Thanks so much for the heads up!

Same here.
Hope you're right! I live in the gta and ordered a month ago.
You won't get puzzle pieces, but you can buy multiple 3DS's and street pass with yourself.

Or just set up a homepass. People have it organized to the point where you can get specific shirt colours if you need them.

Haha, I better get lucky on the Lotto Max tomorrow night then!
I know absolutely nothing about this. Any link you could recommend where I could learn more?

Basically you set your PC/Mac into bridge mode, spoof some MAC addresses, use the SSID attwifi, and poof, you get streetpasses over the interwebs.

U of M. Always get a bunch
AiKon & C4 are great places for StreetPasses.

Torontonians, stop suggesting A&C Games. They're awful.

Wow, people will come up with anything and everything, eh? This would kind of take the spontaneity and fun out of StreetPass, I think. Good to know the option exists, though.
Awesome. Will definitely take a stroll down there. Thank you!
I always seem to be out of town for work when these events roll through the city. Maybe this year I'll have more luck!

Yeah, but it's useful if you live in a place where you just don't find people with 3dses and don't want to walk around a McDonalds hoping for a tag. lol

Can anybody recommend a good eReader? I'm mainly interested in just using it as a reader, so multimedia capabilities aren't that important. I see that Kobos seem to be a little bit cheaper than a Kindle, but I am really wondering if one has an advantage in terms of book availability and pricing. If Amazon ends up having better deals on books I'd probably end up going with a Kindle. Any input on battery life would be helpful too.

I don't know anything about the Kobo, but the Kindle infrastructure is nice. Beyond just being able to send books from Amazon.com to your device, you can just email text documents/ebooks to yourself to add them to your devices as well, meaning you never have to connect your device to a computer pretty much ever.
That said, I think they took out the one huge feature - Kindles used to have free, unlimited 3g for web browsing.
Never buy a PS3 version of a game built on a Bethesda engine. lol
Me too
Expected delivery:
2014/03/24 :\
Oh well, maybe I'll beat infamous 2 as evil over the weekend
This is why you either pre-order in store or on psn.
Thanks for the input. I'd be using it 99% of the time at home so any 3G features aren't that important.
After looking a bit Amazon seems to have a better selection of books available at better prices. I'll probably end up going with the Kindle.

Buy rayman if you haven't already. Amazing game!
Gar and Chang are both friends of mine. Tell me what's so awful beyond not liking their prices. Give me some example of them being awful, ideally.
I played quite a bit of FNV for PS3 when it was the same price at The Source. I had no problems. Got through most of the game.

I'd wait, assuming the shipping is going to be really high.
Hit me up, fool! If you're downtown tomorrow I'll take it off your hands.

Outside of the organization and cleanliness of a cramped flea market and their awful prices?
It's a small store but everything's organized alphabetically. If that's difficult for you then I don't know what to tell you.
I'm yet to see a single game being sold there that hasn't been cleaned and tested beforehand. They also test titles before selling it to the individual just to guarantee it's functioning properly. So I don't really get the cleanliness concern, unless you're referring to the physical store itself being cramped and with old boxes for games it may not be the prettiest. Hardly dirty, though.
So other than that, yeah I agree with you on the prices not being ideal. I can't wrap my head around how any of this equates to being awful though. Have you bought anything from them that didn't work and they didn't accept a return? Were they rude to you? I legitimately want to know if there were any issues beyond the pricing so I can let them know.

Gar is great but that place can be a little too cramped and messy for my liking. I'll still hit up the joint if I'm looking for something specific and price isn't a problem. They're extremely knowledgeable.
I just wish they could find/afford a better location.
Wait, how'd you figure that one out? Did you receive it?
Or are you just assuming because the title of the game didn't get updated when it shipped out?
btw, my game got shipped out as of 2.5 hours ago (or at least information was submitted) so there is actually a good chance I'll receive it tomorrow.
Edit: Ah, you matched the sku number on your invoice to the one online right? Well that royally sucks. Definitely contact customer support so they can fix this, or go on the tech forums and see if they can do anything (or can get you written statement that you can print out and take to the store closest to you to exchange for the limited).
Just in case, if you still want the limited edition that is, once it's 12am, FS time, and store reserve becomes available. Reserve a Limited edition copy at the store closest to you so there is one held while everything else is arranged. Then you can go in and exchange it.

Haha, you're absolutely right about that! I can't say I ever frequent McDonald's, so hanging around one for a StreetPass will be an unusual experience. It's worth a shot at least once though!

If the price is 'not ideal', then what's the incentive in shopping at that place when you can walk a couple of blocks and find similar items? Or just grab stuff off of ebay?
If you like the place, I won't poop on your parade.

It's also neat if you like seeing Japanese Streetpasses. lol
Anyway, does anyone know if the Chapters monthly coupons are still active? What would be the March code?
Wtf, this confused me for a second.
I don't think Chapters has monthly coupons anymore ($5 off 25/30). It's been a year since they have a new website redesign and I don't remember seeing those monthly coupons.
What's the difference between editions ?
Did you match the SKUs?
Regular edition does not come with Cole's Legacy content I believe.
I'm trying to figure out what's so awful. Saying overpriced is one thing, awful lead me to think there were more problems than that.
They only show the webID number on their website. I'm assuming it's the regular version since that's what it says on my invoice.
It's confusing because Quick is using a Kessel avatar on his alt account also. We're on to you Quick.
It's also one of his old avatars, getting lazy Quick.
He should use a JVR avatar for his alt.

Ah, it's been a while since I ordered. That's too bad.
That said, I can't even think of something to buy to even it out to 25 for the Dark Souls 2 guide. I guess I need to ship to store.
Yeah, it's listed as the sku on the receipt but it's really a webID. My sku/webid number matches up with the limited edition webid.
For people who want to check whether they are receiving the Limited Edition or regular edition from Futureshop, open up your order receipt from the order details page.
Look for this:
Type in the number you see there into the search bar, and whichever version comes up is the one that's shipping out to you. Even though my invoice doesn't say it's the limited edition game in text, the sku matches up with the limited edition.
