That Toronto Sony store was ass. I don't think there was a single thing in there I couldn't get cheaper at a nearby store.
Not that I get anything Sony besides Playstation stuff or maybe headphones.
I got the same message for Yoshi. Maybe it's an exchange rate thing?
I should ask my manager to clear out LBP for me lol.
Those prices are up to management mainly.
I'm hesitating between grabbing an Xperia Z3 Compact and an iPhone 6. So what's the best choice for me guys, if I grab the iPhone 6:
- Drop 860$ for it unlocked and get a Fido 2GB plan at 60$ -10% (for having an unlocked phone) so 54$/month
- Drop 375$ for it with 2 year contract and get the same plan but at 75$/month
I tried calculating and it seems I'd save around 30$ if I grabbed it unlocked, but what other benefits are there? Traveling?

I'd go for the month to month, you'd be free to move to any carrier you want if something better comes along. But that initial cost is just killer.
Traveling is a big one imo. It's so much nicer to just stick in a T-Mobile SIM card when in the US and have unlimited data/voice/text for $3 a day whenever you need.
Which Shoppers?
No but I'm hearing each location got somewhere around 50 cards.

Pretty sure this is just for the US. Tried it myself a couple of days ago and they want my zip code and state.
Or $15/month with Wind.

So what are the plans for midnight launches for CoD Advanced warfare for various retailers?
It also seems that Target won't be doing the day zero edition despite taking preorders and giving a $5 GC for doing so. Really weird, was going to go with them even without a midnight launch but waiting an extra day to save $5 isn't worth it.
Edit: Seems their flyer for this week says Day Zero Edition available Monday. Don't know what the fuck the staff are taking about. I'll have to call them today. Again.

Where can you buy the z3 in Canada?
Yeah, I'm having trouble finding the Compact as well (unlocked).

Are we getting Targets B2G1F deal here? A
Apparently yes. It starts the 7th here according to another thread that was posted here (specifically for Canada).
Games, Music, and Movies can only be returned within 30 days if sealed, or exchanged for the same product if open (though can be for a different platform).
Damn it. I've only have my Z1 for two months or so and now I can feel myself wanting an upgrade.

November 7 to when? If it goes into the 11th would be a good deal to get unity, master chief and cod free.

$860 + $54 x 24 months = $2156
$375 + $75 x 24 months + $50 unlocking fee = $2225
I calculate a savings of $69 buying the phone upfront.
Howardsforums has an extensive thread about getting a Koodo Manitoba plan for $55/month (unlimited talk, text, with 4 or 5 GB/month). If you live in Ottawa or Quebec, you can go with Videotron for $80/month. Unlimited nationwide talk, text and 6 GB/month. I think $74/month gets you 4 GB. This gets you a subsidized iPhone 6.
Cheers

The guy who posted the thread said it should run for a week.

Well damn! Then I could get Assassins Creed Unity, The Master Chief Collection and Advanced Warfare.
It is new releases as well? No restrictions?
It would end up being cheaper than the $15 off E3 preorders I have for each.

Haven't heard anything saying otherwise, I imagine you're good.

Target deal is great. Only trouble is, Target's selection (and stock amount) fucking sucks, and battling the pathetic folks at RFD means your chances of finding quality titles is basically zip.

I don't think this is a lucrative deal for the RFD folks.
Yeah it's pretty bad. Also I don't like buying games at a store where they lock all their games behind a glass panel. I don't feel like I'm not welcome there, it's like they assume that everyone who's into video games is a potential shoplifter.
Question is whether or not that's the North American version of the phone?
/edit: Nevermind. It's up on Sony's site.

Maybe not. Either way, there's only one Target in pretty much the greater Vancouver area, and it's in a mall. So unless I manage to be there right at open, I'm certain I'm fucked.

You would get whichever game is cheapest free. That's how these things usually work.

I've been going no contact the past few years with a 10% off from Virgin. The convenience of having an unlocked device and if you're anything like me who loves to upgrade devices every now and then, I think it's definitely worth going for the factory unlocked option with any phone, not just with iPhone. Even better if you're a traveler to the states because you can just pop a SIM in there and you're good to go.
Sony store had them directly but I think they can be had for cheaper if you import them. I remember seeing a huge thread on RFD about it.

This is why I like living in a smaller city. We have a Future Shop, Wal Mart, Target, etc. the main retailers. So I rarely have this issue and usually I am the ones educating these retailers of the deals they have... hahaha

Same here, I used to check it religiously , but after countless times of lining up with people that arrive at 2 am for deals, seeing hoarders proudly posting pictures of them "cleaning up" stores and selling shit on Kijiji, Im done, I felt like a fool.
Only check this thread now, yeah Im late for most deals but it also means Im not dealing with any bullshit.
Also started noticing that companies kind of "game" RFD to try to sell people on stuff that isnt even discounted, its all around a bad place honestly.
I haven't gotten a McDonalds relay to work in a few months. Best Buy works though (Future Shop too, I think?)
