One year they were doing the NHL 08 contest I didn't win a single thing despite entering like mad. That sucked.
Got a Gengar code at Oakridge (Broadway was out) but it's one per person.

Thanks all. I thought there was one specifically for Canada.
You need a USD funds account (at whatever bank you want the card with) to get this sort of Visa (at least with the TDCT one).

anyone know where i can buy a decent running desktop Tower HDD? the one in my basement is like 7 years old and it could do with replacing,lol. Monitor/printer etc is all fine though
New Egg, Tiger Direct, NCIX, PC-Canada, and Memory Express. Those are good websites to start looking.
Might use this to buy shoes or clothes. Where on the Facebook page are they? Rather, what are the posts dated for?

Thinking about buying the AC Unity Xbox One bundle and just selling the codes for Unity and Black Flag. Guess there isn't really a cheaper option right now besides trading in old hardware, right?
Use the drop down menu to select the various offers (#PLAYHAPPYLEAFS, Oilers fans, Ti-Cats fans) you can get 3 coupons if you use each one.

Managed to score a white Dualshock 4 for $24.99 from Best Buy after reserving one while using the DUAL420 code online and then presenting that coupon. I'm guessing I got extremely lucky since I'm under the impression that they were the same discount.

What coupon??

Ugh not sure if I wanna try that. Seems super YMMV since it says $49.99 after coupon too.
I'm sorta close to BB ATM so maybe I will.

I showed them the coupon on my phone so they had to input it manually, but at first they hadn't given me the initial $20 off for reserving online so I had to show them the confirmation email afterwards.
Edit: It was the Scarborough Town Centre Best Buy for those curious.

iPads are on sale now until Nov 7 at Best Buy - link. You can get $70 to $170 off certain models of iPad Airs and iPad Mini w/Retina.
Same with Future Shop - iPads and iPad Minis

Aren't those the new regular prices? The $329 for the 16gb Retina Mini is the standard price now.
Hard to say if there will be other bundles, but the 3DWorld one just came out.

There's been no word but a bundle for Smash Bros. and sales for Black Friday are both likely if you can hold off for a month.
If not the refurbs from Nintendo are highly recommended.
So I wonder why I had $25 in Rewardzone certificates, checked my account and noticed that I had it since October 6.
I check my purchase history, barely bought anything from them, but I returned Phoenix Wright vs Layton near the end of August but there was a $700 purchase attached to the same transaction so I got 699 points lol.
Best Buy site error strikes again, this happened to me once for a $10 reward a while ago too.
I already printed out the coupons, will buy something asap and then refund it to get a gift card to hang onto haha.

I am so glad this thread exists. Too many of the RFD "Hot Deal" threads are about retail priced items.
On another note, what is the deal with EB Games and Tales of Hearts R (on the PS Vita)? Do I have no other Canadian alternative?
On an odd note, I just noticed $25 in reward vouchers on my account too (some expiring in November). I looked in my transaction history (previous 3 months) and only noticed 148 points from myself. I do not recall buying anything with 20x the points, recently.

No. It's EB games exclusive. No choice but to buy from them if you want retail copy.
Tales of Hearts physical is EB exclusive afaik.

EVGA 780 GTX Superclocked ACX
Taken very good care (just ask anyone in the PC thread) overclocks to 1241mhz stable, runs cool, cleaned regularly, bios flashed to custom bios (Removes power limit, and disables downclocking in games unless lower then 50% GPU usage, can be flashed back before shoipping, really not a big deal, just gives a bit more power and gets rid of nvidias auto downclocking bs). Always kept under 75c (5c lower then 780's target). Purchased in August of 2013, still has two years left on the warranty
Shoot me a price

I figured that (unfortunately). I have it preordered there. Is VGP.ca selling PAL copies? I just noticed this.

Craigslist is your friend
Almost got stabbed. Wee bit leery.
edit: the main attraction is the included
bullshit proprietary priced
Holy shit what were you buying?
I had a few shitty deals but nothing crazy like that.
Tube TV for $50.
Wouldn't that first require retailers to actually stock the thing?
There might be a BF bundle, but that's very much a might. SCEA doesn't care and there wasn't one last year.
There's some at the bestbuy next to my work. The point of SCEA not giving a shit is true though. Might as well bite and get the rewards.
Never heard of renting consoles, is that a thing? Cause I'd be interested.

Apparently if you preoreder 5 games you get a $70 e-giftcard.
Also, I see at least one PS4 game offering the Buy 3 deal. I wonder if there are any more mistakes like that.
E3 orders won't include them if they follow what they've done in the past.
@ Staples: Offer valid in-store only October 24 and 25, 2014. Cannot be combined with Associate discount or any other coupons/offers or used toward the purchase of postage stamps, computer rentals, self-serve copying, gift cards, phone cards, Bose products or prior purchases. Staples reserves the right to limit quantities. Coupon must be presented to cashier at time of purchase. Valid at Staples locations in Canada only.
Time for iPads?
Yeah, that's the on-going deal right now. Maybe that's why they didn't include the pre-orders because of the $70 gift card

Think our E3 pre-orders from 2 years ago will include that or should I order another copy? =/
I'm wondering too, I'm in the same boat as you.
Back when you could rent videos, you could rent video games and systems from those places, but pretty low odds of that nowadays. I'd probably just buy a used system off kijiji and then turn around and sell it again to get your money back if you didn't want to keep it forever.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Cool, shame this happens after The Evil Within came out though.
Edit: Is this online only?
What the hell, I checked my ancient futureshop 2013 E3 preorder for Bayo 2 and they charged me the full price of the order (Smash Wii U, Xenoblade, and Bayo 2). I mean, I don't plan on cancelling especially since those 3 games for 40 bucks each is a nice deal, but they never did that before. Only ever charged me 1 at a time.

Did you use Paypal? I think those payment are done all at once because of paypal's policies rather than per item with a credit card.
