Yes it does, I always renew my subscription whenever they do one of those promos.

So...
I'm sitting at $71 on that deal. Is it confirmed anywhere that we aren't going to get fucked over if we spend $100 CAD because it isn't equal to $100 USD? The fine print says USD...
idk but considering they're giving back $15 CAD, it should be fine?

So my Fantasy Life from Best Buy says it was delivered on Friday, along with Bayonetta 2 from Future Shop. Today, the used games I bought from Future Shop on the weekend say they were delivered. However, not one of the three packages has been in my mailbox, or a key to the package box, and none have been delivered to my door. Canada Post is definitely getting a call...

Did they just stock? I called over the weekend and they said they had nothing.

To be fair, I'm surprised Microsoft took a hit up until now with their $400 price point. So we pretty much had the price cut all along if the dollar was to be converted.
I might. I will let you know.
I just notched that my lords of the fallen Amazon pre-order has been cancelled. Anyone know why?

I'm not very sure of what's going on but I did happened to notice that RFD has a deals thread about this and I think it would be wise to check that out considering all the discussion would be Canadian based shipping.
Here's the link.

I think I read about this in the iPhone 6 OT. Data going over the limit pretty fast. I tried looking for it and I can't seem to find it.
Pretty much. If they wetter to sell the X1 in Canada at $350, means they would have to let it go for $300USD. That's just not logical for Microsoft and highly unlikely.
Edit: man I've been double and triple posting all over the place today.
Had that problem. Solved it with Peggle 2 and double dip on Guacamelee PS4.
Was going to buy DriveClub 's season pass but unsure of legs at this moment.
I know DoctorWho made a thread about it but I don't know if it was the only one.

I dunno. I don't do stock lol. We have 2 right now and that's all I know.
So on a whim I went to my local Target and ended up getting this TV :

(yes, the B model)
For 382$
Needless to say, I hardly hesitated

I have both games on Xbone, the first with EA Access and the second with games with gold.
Ended up buying Destiny Season Pass AGAIN, since I have one with my Ghost Edition which I'm willing to sell now.
Anybody willing to buy PS4 Destiny Season Pass for $30 instead of its $35 normal price let me know
I've purposefully not read or watched any information that would spoil the game, post Japanese game launch, besides the trailers.

For some reason Amazon removed the game from the store for a couple days which cancelled folk's orders. I had a pretty easy time getting amazon to reinstate the order at the E3 price when I contacted them about it.
Is there a pricing error somewhere? What's the catch?
It's on clearance nationwide
You can find it for either 450$ or 630$
The catch is, they asked for 382$ and that included the eco tax.. what a sweet deal

Guys, I'm looking for:
Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy - Nintendo 3DS by Nintendo
Nintendo Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask 3DS
I need them new as it's for a gift, but I'm hoping for a fair price.
Don't know much about online VG stores though (apart from the usual chains), any suggestion?

Buy two, get one free on any game at Target according to this guy: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=920413
Nice deal if it's literally on any three games.

Awesome price! I have the 51" and it's beautiful
Umm I assume you pay for the most expensive of the two.
Nice, let me know once you decide!

Alright that makes sense actually. I'm going to have to talk to them today about it. Thanks.

Probably the best price you are going to get, they are reliable too (just use paypal)

Thanks!
Cheaper than I had found on Amazon.ca!!
Is it good for gaming? How's the input lag?

I just called Amazon and somehow the PS4 version of the game isn't in stock and he has no clue why it was removed in the first place, he kept mentioning how it went out of stock and hence removed.
Anyway, since the game is out of stock now, he wanted me to place the order when it is back in stock and the discount would be honored. Sucks though.
Any deals on the XB1 launch titles?
Kinda sad I missed out on $10 Forza and Dead Rising at Target when they had them on clearance in August. Didn't think i'd be getting a new system at the time.
PS4 launch games like Killzone and Knack have been $20; haven't really seen the same for XB1 games though.

Do we know how often they add stuff? I have a coupon expiring on Friday, but I'm still holding hope that they'll add Wii U Pro controllers and/or the Gamecube adapter for Smash...
Probably not gonna happen, but still...
EDIT: Is there at least a way to see newly added items without looking through every single category? Their site is pretty convoluted...
So, has anyone received their Source orders yet? I finally decided to give them a call regarding my WiiU Pro Controller order, since:
Date Ordered:
26/09/2014 10:16:54 PM
Order Status:
PREPARING ORDER
Rep just told me that the item is "discontinued; end-of-life" ??
She was actually really great, though. She put me on hold, found a controller available at one of their stores, and arranged to have that store ship it to me under my existing order. I'm pretty impressed, actually.

Wait for Nov 7th at Target. They are going to have B2G1.
Unfortunately, don't they still have DR3 and Ryse at $50 reg price?

They weren't adding content for months now it seems like they add two or three things every Monday/Tuesday. It's probably just for the holiday.
I end up looking through all the categories.
Is it from Staples? I had the same issue with Staples. If so, contact Staples and they will give you a UPS tracking number. Otherwise, it means they have left their Amherst depot (on their own Staples truck), and you would have received it yesterday. I had my package go Out for Delivery on Sunday morning and received it this morning at 9:14 am.

It's on clearance (60" model) but it's 798$ here.
Naw, Future Shop. I thought it was peculiar that an item which I ordered over the weekend would be delivered on Monday (implying Canada Post picked the item up on Sunday), but the tracking info is what it is. Unless it's not? Well if it doesn't come today I might have to start making phone calls.

I was just wondering about this today, I also have a dead-in-the-water Pro Controller order. I guess I'll have to contact them too.

Can you tell us to which Target you went to?
I had to re-order the game and get the price adjusted about a month back, the publisher of the game changed in Canada so the previous SKU got cancelled, then it popped back up under a different SKU a few days after.

Well, my uncertainty is coming back to haunt me - I will have two Sunset Overdrive bundles arriving at my place by the end of day if the tracking information is to be believed.
Will have to return the Future Shop one. I can't believe they processed my order so quickly.
I would try and throw it up on Kijiji but I don't think they're going to be in short supply and I don't like being that person.

Benchmark sites put it at 15ms I believe? But I think Game Mode takes that down considerably. I got this a few months ago after having a 60hz LCD TV and the difference is light and day. It's really awesome and the image quality is great for games and movies. I'm nowhere near an authority but a good friend help me narrow down my choices and for the price at the time it was a great buy. Sites say the input lag is high, but I don't notice it at all and I always do very well in online FPShooters. *shrugs*
Not sure if it's the EXACT same model, but this is the TV I had gotten - from the looks of it the one he just bought is in the same line (sorry if I'm mistaken)
