Canadian Gaming Deals and Discussion Thread 4: That $70s Show

Well, I ended up getting the package again after an apparent change of delivery (which I can only assume Namco did). There was a reprinted shipping label and another label saying that the C.O.D. was pulled.

It may have taken awhile, and it may have been a bit beaten up, but given that everything was in perfect condition inside the retail box I find this acceptable (also the t-shirt is pretty cool).

Next time, I think I may not be so hasty in pre-ordering and just wait for Amazon.ca or a local retailer to (hopefully) carry any possible game releases I want from NamcoBandai (or just ship it to this post office across the border which is close to where I live since I now know their orders are from the US . . . that is if it's a store exclusive).

Hey guys, I'm looking at internet again. (Sorry to bring this up)

Between Electronic Box, CIK Tel, VMedia and Start, does anyone have any experience with those internets?

I'm sort of looking when Rogers Internet is so damn expensive and my friends say DSL sucks for Toronto Downtown.

As I said yesterday, I have VMedia and I love it. I get 45dl 4ul unlimited for $50 a month and I am always getting that speed. You can get 25/2 for $35 a month I believe. Their TV isn't the best, but the internet is excellent.

Fuck Robbers, don't even think of going with them. Pretty sure VMedia buys bandwidth from Rogers anyway.

Is this your first Vita?

Grab Ys and DanganRonpa, then you'll see it's worth it.
Click to expand...

Yeah. Already bought Ys from the golden week sale. I'm actually thinking if I should just import to get a different colour or just sell this one to my friend. In the end, I'll have a vita anyway.

Yeah, Vitas are pretty boss. I think having a Vita and a 3DS are the best bets right now in terms of quality content.

Also, DanganRonpa is a MUST for Vita owners, especially if you enjoy any sort of VN/adventure game style content. I'm jonesing so hard for the second game in the series right now, it's not even funny.

Eneloop? Dell has this on sale for like $25-$30. Try waiting if they will put this on sale again.

All the cable internet companies are just Rogers resellers. They still offer better service and bandwidth packages, though. It's all standardized, so it doesn't matter which company you pick really.

I have Teksavvy. I've used both their 45/4 and 25/2 packages and they worked perfectly.

Awesome, thanks for posting.

We have a couple trips planned this year so I picked up the Superman TAS, Batman Beyond and Justice League Unlimited sets for my sons to watch in the van. Should make the drives a bit more enjoyable for them... and me if it keeps them occupied.

What's wrong with the TV side?

Is it the picture quality or the service?

I almost jumped on the Batman: TAS deal last night, but I'm glad I waited since they added a bunch of it to Netflix this morning. I can continue holding out for a Blu-ray release!

Yeah, got those games during golden week. Still undecided if I should go to import or not. I'm gonna save like $50 + applicable custom fees.
Click to expand...
I was thinking of importing, but I think the circle/cross swap and increased cost would bug me more than having a black console.

I always put a single colour decal (decalgirl) on the rear touchpad anyway, so it isn't like it'll be boring. I'll probably go with blue or yellow this time around.

Veronica Mars was added? Awesome. I was talking to a friend just last week about how I wanted to watch the series, but it wasn't on Netflix.

Is there any online resources that lists the new additions and subtractions from Netflix? Or do I just have to login to Netflix and hope I see something new?

I thought Source's return policy is kinda a mess to deal with.

Seconding this. Eneloops are the best rechargables I have ever used. They have such a slow discharge rate.

I'm voting for Eneloops as well. I bought 8AA's in 2009 and they are still kicking in my Xbox One controllers, mouse and my toothbrush.

Even though you're joking, that's right up there with people asking about Vita memory card sales.
