That's funny, I just got one from Amazon.ca for 125$ shipping included (the average price for that card that I see online, including Ebay) and the sale was fulfilled by Amazon meaning that they have some in stock in Canada.
And it works like a charm on my Vita.
It's funny this topic came up. I just received 2 64GB Vita memory cards today from them. I picked them up at my local Canada Post this evening. I'm currently restoring my Vita backup. The price of the cards plus their cheapest air shopping option made it worth it.
I think it normally retails for for $54 i think. FS has it for $10 off as well. http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/nintendo-donkey-kong-country-tropical-freeze-nintendo-wii-u-wii-u/10255549.aspx?path=ca0adcbbf90db8b279bfff4ff86b323fen02

Hmmm, thanks.
I think I'll probably be getting one quite soon then.
Costco has it for $30 though.
Someone posted that but I saw it for $48 last week. Unless it's changed since then, might only be at some stores
I think I read the $30 this week. So I guess there's a change? Also, Infamous 2nd son will be $50 this Friday on BB/FS

With Vita dying, I assume those cards will become even more rare in the future.I can resist. No, I WILL resist. Nope nope nope nope. I will let those PS1/PSP games stay in my download list. The sweet spot for me really is 1 gig per dollar
Not gaming related but...
Any thoughts on RBC vs BMO? I know it's YMMV as with anything, but thought you guys might have some suggestions. Currently with BMO and considering transferring to RBC for the tablet offer IF it's otherwise advantageous. The GF is with RBC so that might be a decent reason to head over as well.
EDIT- I also like that RBC has an Android app...

don't tempt me man
Is production for them that limited?
If firehawk won't, I will.
Just look at that price. DEAL MAKER right there. Think of all the space you'll have. All the space you may never use but would like to have. No more eventual memory card swaps. All your digital download games AT THE READY.

ok good no one brought up that Vita hashtag. I hate seeing that. The one with 2014 in it
Jest, you mofo. You're absolutely right though. I can finally download all those games from dem sales and have something nice to stare at. Like shit, I just bought that Growlanser game earlier today and I refuse to download it because I don't wanna manage my data no more. This is some Adam and apple snake temptation up in here.

I ordered my 64GB card from there last week, about $95 after tax/shipping.

Man, I'm tempted to pull the trigger on a 64GB Vita card, but I know I should wait until E3.
Yes wait. At E3 it will be announced (for Europe)
Then at TGS a 96GB version will be announced for Japan. We will be left out in the cold with these damn 8, 16, and 32GB options to choose from. Then Vita dies two years later and Sony wonders where they went wrong....In all seriousness though, it does you no harm to wait. I doubt Superufo will run out of stock and if they do they they`ll restock eventually.
Also, anyone here with opening thread experience? I want to start a thread but need a second opinion. I fear the looming threat of perma-banned. PM me if you don't mind passing on some advice.
You must be blind if you can't see both systems in stock everywhere.
isn't the next step after 64 gigs the 128?
Worst thing that could happen to you is getting junior'd and losing thread making privileges. lol what are you gonna post? Some super nationalistic shit and death to all humans kinda thing? Making an OT for a game isn't gonna get you banned but if it reads like you've been paid off, iunno what's going to happen.
I've never started a thread, probably never but just think of it like a regular post. Have I adequately explained whatever it is I want to discuss? Can I get a well reasoned argument out of people? Will these fuckers even take my thread seriously? Million dollar question.

I don't pay attention to what sizes come after what so I'll take your word for it. I want to start a thread on games you want to see for the upcoming E3 and TGS events.

Precious few weeks until i give Future Shop all of my money on their E3 sale. It's going to be extra bad this year, with the prices going up. I'll be reordering anything and everything I'm mildly interested in. Whatever I don't want can be returned.

We're assuming they'll even do something this year though...
Phew, just got my new credit card in time for E3 -- was worried because my other one was expiring next month. One question: do I have to update the payment info for my old MK8 pre-order that has the June credit card expiry date now that I activated my new card, or should the order still go through just fine?
Does anyone know how Canadian customs work out the tax you have to pay for imports?
I just imported a pair of soccer boots that cost me $60 and I got hosed for $27 tax on them. That's WAY too much. Is there any avenue to challenge this?
It's not the first time I've got overcharged on an import and it's pretty annoying

You used UPS didn't you?
Good question and I have no idea how they figure that out. I got the exact same, $27 in customs for a few health food items in a single box that was no larger than 6x4 inches.
Yes for me. So guess that's the last time I ever use UPS.
Good ol' Canada Post
I had to pay almost $80 extra in import and duties to DHL for my Pebble watch. It's really stupid.
I think the sellers should warn of that beforehand, a lot do, but a lot don't.
Odd normally they are very good, never had problems with them
UPS on the other hand.. grr their stupid fee's are crazy
Nope no idea , i just mark everything as gifts, if theres no option i put a happy birthday bro! note on it and it usually means i dont have to pay.
Only a few times has this not worked.
I dont think there is anything you can do about it unfortunately. THat is ludicrous, its half the price of the boots.
Ive had worse , on 35$ of skins from decalgirl.com ., we have 22$ of customs fees.
Fucking sad.

I thought it was common knowledge that duties and customs exist. I don't get why sellers have to warn you about it. They don't have any direct control over what happens after they ship that box.
You serious?
What value was put on the package?
I think you'd have to call customer service of wherever your order originated. if you bought something from FS then call up customer service to address the issue.

It should be 10 + tax on retail value stated on the package (or in the receipt if no value is given, at which point they open the package up and inspect it).
The back of the form Canada Custom's form (usually taped on the box) will have instructions to apply for a refund if they used the wrong value to assess for taxes.
Because they don't exist if they're being shipped from within Canada?
I don't always know where the seller is shipping the item from.

It absolutely is. They seemed to have a whole bunch at the location I went to in Edmonton.
Would have bought it and returned to Shoppers but I think I'm just past the return period on my existing receipt.

Absolutely. Just place it all on the same order so in case if they bother you that you have to place an order of 3 games to get the discount, you aalways have a spare.

The Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus LE is available now on videogamesplus.ca:
https://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=21805
I'm still going to wait for Amazon/EBGames, although I do like the way VGP packages Limited Editions. They're always wrapped in bubblewrap inside of a sturdy box. Shipping is $9.99 because of it, but still...might be worth it to guarantee myself a non-damaged copy.

Q: Physical card in the "Let's Get Physical" edition, or voucher for a download copy?
A: Physical card. We wouldn't call it "Let's Get Physical" if it were just a download voucher.
I hope they don't pull this shit with Senran Kagura 2. I want that to have a physical copy, even for standard editions.
There should be a place on the customs form on the package where you can note any errors they may have made. It might be on the back of the form after you tear it off.
I once bought a game online that was valued at a dollar, but they didn't see the decimal and charged tax on $100. I sent in the form along with a printout of the ebay page and got a full refund (even the extra fees on top of the taxes). It takes time though, be prepared to wait like 6 weeks.

Yeah I saw it, but I'd rather wait for Amazon.ca if they're even gonna list it there. Muh free shipping
