So far it seems like it's only the people who ordered when it was in stock. Not sure if the ones who ordered when it was "temporarily out of stock" (myself included) will get it. I'm hoping for the best.
Till when you can redeem the code? The site doesn't tell anything if I'm reading correctly.

I would imagine S cycles would be not as enticing as a new generation of devices, but IIRC every iteration of iPhones have been refreshing the line's previous records.
Although it's a bit disappointing for the iPhone 6 to retain the same pixel density and only with 1GB of RAM, the RAM part is based on the rumor though.
Kinda difficult to justify the price for the tech that is inside, but that's just me.

Has anyone who pre-ordered Disney Infinity through Amazon during the E3 sale tried to have the free character bonus added to their order?

In downtown Montreal right now, not sure what's worse, the iPhone 6 line or the Chapters 50% off line.
Both still feel more reasonable than the last EBGames lineup I've seen, though...

The Best Buy/FS trade in deal line last year was epic crazy.

Some people from RFD are saying they've had luck getting stores to price match. I'd give it a try, just bring in a print out of your order, or show them on your phone and just say it hasn't shipped yet but you rather buy from a local store. It might work depending on who you get, they've had success with FS, BB and Target it seems, so i'd check them all out if possible, even walmart.
Yeah, I'm glad I got my reserve in-store orders in early enough so I got to skip those lines. People were waiting for hours without the line moving in the hopes that the store would get more stock in.
That's a few hours of my life I wish I could have back
Worth it, though
Turned my Saturday into copies of COD, BF4 and AC4 for PS4 for $30 and some garbage sports games
Looks like it went out of stock at amazon and now it defaults to a 3rd party seller.
Clicking on "more buying choices" gives the option of ordering from amazon @ $349.00 and they'll ship in 2-4 weeks.

For a moment I thought this was a national deal and got excited...

Got my iPhone 6 with relatively no problems besides the slightly incompetent sales clerk and the store's lack of preparation. (No queue system at all, people just going to random kiosks.)
Decided to go with the 128. I'm sure I won't need that much space, but might as well go big for my first phone.

Haha, it would be chaos.
The downtown Montreal Chapters is closing so they just set a blanket 50% off everything. The 1st floor is basically one huge line, and every bookshelf is just stacks of random books. It's like the world's biggest garage sale. Staff there called it Black Friday. The line loops so many times you can just shop while in line, basically - every time you move forward there's a new stack of randoms.
The iPhone line looked intimidating in sure strength of numbers but was reasonably well ordered. I'd assume the bigger problems are the weather (~8c) and that, unlike the iPad or other product launches, here people are trying to do upgrades and activations. (It's tradition for Rogers, Bell and Telus to all suffer catastrophic activation failures at some point today.)

PlayStation Plus 12 month subscriptions (purchased through SEN), are the same price in Canada as in the US, right? $49.99 with no tax?
Yes.

Can you stack the 30 day Plus that came with Destiny on top of an already existing subscription?

I believe it said (in the fine print) that it's only for new members.

Ooooh... I'd love to go get books at %50 off, but waiting in line for hours doesn't sound like fun... :/

Check local stock if it's OOS online. There's gotta be one WM in your province with stock.
4GB 360's are $80 at FS/BB (matching WM's price).
There is but she wasn't having any of it lol.

I just got a T-Mobile iPhone 6 for full retail price in the States and I popped my Virgin Mobile Canadian sim card in there and it grabs AT&T network in the States.
So yeah, all T-Mobile iPhone 6 will work with any non American sims.

Honestly the CRTC, Rogers, Bell and Telus are the worst part of living in Canada by far and they can all go to hell. Thank goodness for Netflix.
Edit: Also on the PS4 watch, some people on RFD received their orders today already.
Did you mean $129? The Walmart price is $129 and you get a $50 gift card (effectively making it $80), but the FS/BB price online is $129. Are they giving a $50 card as well? Or are they just $80 in store? I would buy if it was a straight $80, that price is crazy. Anyone know?
After this morning, if I was in charge of Netflix, I would leave Canada now.

I ended up buying one and getting 3D World and Wind Waker HD with the Gift card, amazing deal to be honest.
And what is all this talk about the CRTC, what happened?

It's $80 if you reserve for in-store pickup (discounts automatically instead of giving a GC).
Basically 3 scenarios if you pickup:
1. They deny the $80 price and you get it for $130 with a $50 GC.
2. You get the $80 price with no GC.
3. You get the $80 price WITH a GC.

Update from someone at RFD regarding the PS4 bundle from Amazon.
Looks like they are honoring it, it'l be a bit of a wait for those of you who ordered. Worth it at that price though.
