I think FS/BB were offering better deals when BB was still relatively new in Canada just to get everyone hooked shopping there: I honestly felt like they were losing money and would give up offering those deals eventually, so we can't be too surprised. I hope they still offer us something good for E3 at least though.

How would they post if they were?
I was. Just got it back maybe 20 minutes ago. I think it was city wide except for the downtown core. Is this another indication to upgrade our power grid among other infrastructure? Probably.

i was like, "huh, how is that infamous a deal?"
clicked the link and saw, "save $10" then the thread title dawned on me.
How often do they have one year codes for 40?

That's their standard price IIRC. It's just not worth it as much because of the exchange rate nowadays. Like Costco will sometimes sell memberships for the same price.
can't shop at Costco D:
never paid attention to XBL deals before so iunno if they go on sale often at different places or not. If the deals don't touch 45 anyway, I don't mind taking the rate hit.

I tried earlier but got my order cancelled. Seems so random.

I'll wait for injustice to take a permanent price cut before purchase. I'm in no hurry to cop it for my PS4 Library.

What is the difference between Tomb Raider (PS3), Tomb Raider GOTY Edition (PS3) and Tomb Raider Definite Edition (PS4)? Is it worth the extra $30? And is it likely to go on sale anytime soon?
PS4 has slightly improved graphics. It was 29.99 or 39.99 not too long ago so you should wait.
Agreed. A few months back it was on sale for $25 on PSN, and even though I knew it was temporary I thought it was a sign of price cuts to come (and I always rather have the physical copy). Boy was I wrong.

Yeah, the FS flyer has been a joke so far in 2014, at least as far as games go. NHL 14 was on the front page this week! Wtf?
It all changed once they did that insane BF4/CoD/AC4 deal last year. Ever since, there hasn't really been any noteworthy trade deals.

My Costco membership hasn't been renewed for years. I still managed to grab the Xbox Live 1year Gold deal online.

Is there a good deal for FFXIV PS4 anywhere?

If you still have a PS3, best way would be is to buy the PS3 version for cheap and upgrade it for free on the PS4.
If anyone's interested, Newegg's got the Luigi Darkmoon 3DS bundle on sale for $129.99: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16868100146
They've got other things on sale as well.

Maybe they'll sell the PS3 version again for 10 bucks sometime down the line.
Also, I just got my 25 dollar credit from Tangerine and I expect my other 100 dollars to come in after a couple of weeks. They really want people to sign up... but what I don't get is, why doesn't Scotiabank just offer no fee banking itself? Seems crazy to buy ING direct just to have an off brand that undercuts your main business. Then again, after Rogers bought Fido, most of Fido's good plans disappeared and they just became Rogers-lite.
Random question, if I wanted to buy an Android phone strictly to use as an MP3 player/ipod touch-like device, which one should I get and what are some cheap options?

If it says "Ships from and sold by Amazon.ca" then yes. They will price match Amazon.ca but not third party sellers.
Nice, might go tomorrow.

No, I've done it many times with third party sellers, most third parties charge shipping and Future Shop will charge you the shipping cost.
I just did it with Titanfall for Xbox One, sold by Chapet, $44.99, they didn't notice the shipping so I paid only $49 for it with tax. Nice!

That's basically a 3DS for $90 if you value Luigi's Mansion at $40.
Mario and Luigi XL bundle for $150 is also a good deal, although the game is vastly inferior to Luigi's Mansion:

You can also get a small cash back from greatcanadianrebates.ca.
If you're looking for it on Wii U, it's already $20 at Best Buy.
Hah. That's why a couple of these got listed on kijiji for $180
2.25% off Newegg purchases from Great Canadian Deals. Here I was continuing to us E-bates like a sucker. Their 1.25% pales in comparison. Never again Ebates....

Noticed something strange and I was hoping some other people can help clarify on this since the store is closed now at this hour. So it looks like a few Futureshop in Toronto are listing Demon Gaze for the Vita as 'In Stock' now even though the game releases next Tuesday. Yesterday it was the Futureshop in Scarborough and the Old Mill Yard near Keele and St Claire. Just a few hours ago the Scarborough West and Weston locations listed it, and it looks like Yonge & Eglinton just listed it. But now it looks like the game is out of stock at Keele and St Claire?
I might go ask myself tomorrow since I live close to the Y&E location and taking the train to the Yonge & Dundas location isn't too much trouble for me... I'm only doing this cause it's a long weekend and I want to know if someone fucked up and is selling the game early by accident. Futureshop pls you're playing with my heart

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
They aren't gonna sell it to you. I tried with the Wonderful 101 last year, didn't work.

Is PS4 is readily available supply? I reserved at both a Future Shop and Best Buy nearby and Infamous: Second Son, but they've only reserved Infamous: Second Son -- I don't want to make an unnecessary trip and be disappointed lol.
I've been seeing them in a wild a TON more since the $50 price hike. I'm in London ON.
they're handing these out like candy these days

Yeah, no one want's to bite on a $500 console when you include tax. Thanks for increasing the price, Sony!
Thanks. I don't mind adding more points to balance. I hopped on the bandwagon late so I'll take what I can get.
Yeah we have 3 accounts for the family so it's an easy 6000 points, lol. Not bad.
