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

After doing some tests, it appears the wi-fi on my PS4 sucks compared to my PC even though they're in the same room. Anyone have experience with powerline adapters?

Yeah I've noticed at my friend's place the ps4 wifi chip sucks donkey nuts. Power line should work better for you. Get a 500m adapter if you can get a good deal on it. Keep in mind that every once in a blue moon you will likely have to reboot them (ie pull them in and out of the plug on each side) and that their speed and reliability will vary depending on distance and how dirty your power is. Most of them don't like going into power bars either, and usually want right in the wall socket.

On the CAD eShop, why is SM3DL listed at $24.99, instead of $19.99? (Down from $34.99)

Because SM3DL is regularly priced at US$30 and C$35 and it's a $10 discount instead of 33% just to doubly screw Canada over on the exchange rate. Kind of a joke considering you can get the retail version of the game on sale for C$20.

Cool, thanks for the reply. I've been reading some reviews and they're all over the place.

I think I might settle on something like this, since it's on sale. I'd prefer one with pass through, but that one is $30 more.

Yeah was browsing last night. Makes the whole sale less exciting. Will probably still pick up fire emblem
 
And I have been charged for NHL 15. Let E3 preorder season officially begin!

Hopefully they try to drop it off Monday because the Canada Post guy won't bother to bring it upstairs and will just drop off a card in Tuesday's mail so I can pick it up. I may actually get to play it on release.

Well, at least they got SM3D World at price parity.

Totally different with Sony when it comes to sale. Still can't believe they are adding the extra $5 even with sale lol

Forza Horizon 2
Master Chief Collection
Sunset Overdrive
Sleeping Dogs Remastered
GTAV Remastered
Call of Duty Advanced Warfare
Dragon Age Inquisition
Walking Dead Season 1
Walking Dead Season 2
Wolf Among Us

Anything released from September till Boxing Day will likely be discounted to $39.99 or $44.99 or $49.99 from $69.99. I'm not sure what the release price for Sleeping Dogs is so that may be cheaper.

The Walking Deads and Wolf Among Us will probably be really cheap at some point.

You can probably find most of those on sale in Boxing Day, but more than half off night be a stretch. Say like 20-30 off for most, and more for ones like Sleeping Dogs, that won't sell at all.

How long is that Target deal going on for a free game with purchase of an Xbox One? And is it any Xbox One console purchase, like any bundle?

I just don't think I can make it to the store today and all the earlier posts have said is September 5th.
 
I emailed Future Shop support about my LE Destiny order as I was curious when I would be charged/when it would ship and they informed me that it wouldn't until release day. Is that just poorly informed/safe support info, or will that actually be the case?

Do we know the other three games on sale at BB/FS for the PS4 deal? I'd like to take advantage of this 18 dollar TLoU if it's a mistake, but don't want to force the order through with BF4 if there is something better.

Are eShop cards on sale too? That's a great discount.

It seems to be PSN, and from there YMMV. The Dartmouth store had PSN and eShop at 25% off, but not Xbox Live.

And some news from shipping-GAF: My Danganronpa 2 shipped from Amazon at 11:46am this morning. Approximately eight minutes after I bought it on PSN. -_- Good thing I have a buyer for the physical and I'll have it Wednesday.

Same.

But they did supply me with a $20 off coupon which seems to be good for anything off of Bestbuy.ca.

That's not too bad.

They cancelled my order as well. I wonder if the people that ordered it at the correct price after we ordered ours will be receiving the limited edition.

The $20 bucks is nice though. I might use it to get the regular edition of the game actually.

oh damn...... should I risk checking the Richmond Hill Target... it's like 20 mins away :(

Yeah, in my experience, all of the currency cards and most of the subscription cards stay really well stocked. I don't expect the hoarders to claim everything in this sale.
 
For those of you who got the Hulkamania Edition cancel check to see if your order is actually cancelled. Mine just did in the system but I don't think it happened until after I used the code they gave us on something else.

Mine has been cancelled with no action on my part.

Far Cry 4 Kyrat has been cancelled as well. Still shows up on the order but the "Product Total" doesn't add that item's price anymore.

It seem to be a mistake at my local target (Laval, QC). The psn prepaid card are 25% off instead of 10% as advertise in the flyer(Xbox ones are 10% off). It makes the 50$ card at 37,5$. May be worth checking at yours.
