They gave me a 5$ credit. Didn't even have to complain. Yay?

I saw that too. I thought it was hilarious. I get why these dudes are inflating the prices. Taking advantage of peoples blind hype and desperation can be cunning. However, the adapter is an accessory. It WILL restock eventually and most likely when we hit December. I'm sure the patient ones know this and will wait it out. It's not some limited production run item.
It's been all over the place. For me, Amazon shipped Smash & the GC adapter before release & it arrived on launch day. Unfortunately Canada Post forgot to leave me the Community Mailbox key so I had to wait until today to get it.

FULL Future Shop and Best Buy flyers finally released! Looking at the deals now...
Edit: Nothing terribly special or exciting. I'm personally interested in Future Shop's Xbox One + Kinect AC bundle (that claims it also has Dance Central, but I dunno), where you get to pick any game for free with it. Also, if anyone doesn't have Tales of Symphonia Chronicles yet, $14.99 is a freaking steal!

Bummer, no Wii U stuff. Was hoping for a sale on pro controllers. Hopefully boxing day..
Cheers. Can't say anything piqued my interest in the FS flyer, perhaps BB will fare better.
Theatrhythm Curtain Call for $19.99 is fabulous though. Already own it, of course.
edit: hang on, it's probably $24.99. Still a good price.
edit2: nothing at BB either. Ah well.

Yeah I wouldn't hold my breath considering they don't even stock them
Edit: Nevermind I'm surprise to see that they do. Still really doubt there will be a sale on them.

This is easily the worst Black Friday sale I've ever seen from FS and BB. Those can't be the only games on sale?? I was hoping for Wolfenstein and Metro Redux to get nice sale prices of about $30.

100 price difference wow.

Also I agree terrible sales. With the dollar down apparently they think they don't have to try anymore.

I might purchase another pair of these. They're that good.
And if the Wal Mart GC for the $349.99 X1 AC bundle doesn't combine during the checkout online, then I won't have any regrets buying the SSO Bundle for $399 earlier this month. Even though I combined $50 worth of RZ credits and a GC there is still something irrational in my head purchasing all 3 current gen consoles so early on.
Man I feel sorry for alot of Canadian GAFers on a lukewarm BF on this side of the border. Its too bad most of of you don't live near the US border for gaming. Already booked Friday iff here in Van for BF on the US side online and offline. Shadow of Mordor for 49.99 is a joke when it'll be 24.99 in the US on BF.

So I'm planning on going to Wal-Mart for thurs night when the doors open at midnight to get an Xbox One.
What time do you think I should get there?
I've never lined up at a store before...
EDIT: BTW, I live in Markham, Ontario

c'mon guys, the asscreed bundles for 350 + a 50 gift card ain't bad at all.
Kind of funny considering XOne was originally $100 more than PS4. Well, now that XOne has priced itself down into competition with the Wii U, I guess they've given up on competing with Sony. I don't think Sony are worried: they're the cool cat this generation and they know it.

Amen to that! I'm gonna try for one on Friday, and keep it until I finally decide if I want the XO or not. MCC finally working properly in time for the holidays would be what would likely make me keep the console and open it up

It's nice to want things.
On the bright side, gas is super cheap so it's affordable to drive around town to retailers and partake in these non-existent deals.
For games only? Stay tuned for my round-up. I should have it done by tonight.

For what its worth market analysts said they expected Black Friday to be a bust this year and that they expect Boxing Day to be significantly better.
(this is what I learn from having to watch CBC news and CP24 all morning at my workplace)
Wanted Diablo and Trap Team but they will be that price on boxing day so Ill wait.

That XBO+Kinect+Game for $450 will be mine. No brainer after winning a $200 gift card.
Thank you!

Same price as Dualshock 4 which is compatible with the PS3.
Not entirely.

So that's Target, Best Buy, Future Shop, Wal Mart, London Drugs, The Source and Toys R Us for released Black Friday flyers.
Any others?
Nothing I want from any of those except the $39.99 Xbox Live subscription from The Source, which is online as well. Easily done, no need to go out.
Was hoping for sales on Dragon Age Inquisition, Master Chief Collection and Amiibos, I guess I will wait to Boxing Day.

Yeah, I think that's when the weak dollar raised the price of EVERYTHING, but the X1 didn't go up, right? The price gap in the US is only 50$ iirc.
I'm still salty...I bought a PS4 two weeks after the raise.

Xbox one is a good value for sure. However, PS4 does come with incredible remasters of two of the best games in the past decade, and Xbone comes with Unity
I was hoping for a few more dollars off the Sylanders set. I'll wait for the standard sales next spring.

This is the only reason why I'm holding back on this deal. I would probably have jumped in if it was any other AAA bundle.Xbox one is a good value for sure. However, PS4 does come with incredible remasters of two of the best games in the past decade, and Xbone comes with Unity

if it was any game other then assassins creed i'd agree. sunset overdrive, halo:mcc, etc...
game is a throw away and worth nothing to me, so no value added. even the buy/sell thread is spammed with them and you're only going to get 10 - 15 bucks for it

It's Ubisoft. They print about 60 trillion copies of their games, and they drop in price like a sinking ship. You can get Rogue for $29, if not $19 on Boxing Day. Unity too, considering how poorly I'm sure it's selling because of reviews.
