Yep. Buy again!
Ordered myself some of them Eneloops, only got one pack but I feel like I should get another...not that I have a whole lot of stuff that uses AA anymore.

Can confirm, I saw the same price at Walmart in Guelph.
(Also, hi CanadaGAF! First post in here!)
Wait... there's a Walmart in Guelph now? When I lived there the city refused to allow them to open in the city so my wife had to drive to Cambridge if she wanted to go there.

There is, corner of Woolwich and Woodlawn in the north bit. I've only lived here for two months now so I'm not sure how long it's been around.
Thanks ^_^ I've been lurking for quite some time, only recently got an email that let me sign up and such.

Yeah, it's out in the outskirts though. Takes like 40 minutes to get there by bus. :/
Hey, I'm no longer the only Guelph person here. lol
If you're doing the MK8 thing and you're not going to get any of the other games...

I live downtown, so it's about 10-15 for me
Not being a student in this city is weird sometimes.

At least the city is basically dead in the summer. I still think it's ridiculous that there isn't a movie theater in the city core anywhere outside of The Bookshelf, but I guess Guelph seems more interested in building out than in building up. The sprawl is palpable!I live downtown, so it's about 10-15 for me

Yeah, I hear you on that. It pains me to have to go out of my way for a real LCBO, too. Or to get groceries. Or just about anything.
Is it a Ni-HM charger? If so, it should work fine
You can use any NiMH charger. That includes the old fashioned NiMH, the regular "low self-discharge" NiMH (Eneloops), and the new "high-capacity low self-discharge" NiMH. They all use the same charger.
Although you might want to invest in a smart charger. The ordinary charger just plugs into the wall, and the LED turns off when it's finished charging, but it actually keeps trying to drain and charge the batteries in very small amounts until you unplug it. That keeps regular NiMH batteries ready for when you need them, but is kind of bad/useless for Eneloops. If you don't pay attention and remember to unplug the charger promptly once it's done, this can reduce the life of your Eneloops.
A smart charger will charge your batteries and then switch itself off properly. And you can also tell it to do a refresh cycle which (if needed) can inject some new life into "tired" NiMH batteries.
Maybe around 10 years, probably a little less. In the early '90s when Walmart was expanding into Canada it was a political issue like you wouldn't believe. I grew up there. I'm never in town anymore so things like Walmart or the "new" Zehrs on the west side still seem brand new to me, but someone who has lived there for the last five years would probably think of them as ancient.

My Mario Kart was estimated for today last night. But even though it was processed for the second time, it changed to Monday. Canada Post... don't do this to me.
Edit: Out for delivery. Canda Post can't make up their mind. Hopefully they put it in the mailbox this time. Last time they said it didn't fit but it was in a bubble mailer and would've easily fit.

yeah you're gonna get 649 points for that
Nintendo said that the free games don't qualify for DDP though

Sweet!.
I already have 400 and something points. Should end up with $10 worth of credit when all is said and done.
That's on top of also getting Wind Waker. Not to worried about getting no DDP for it.
Feel the bang!!
Simply put yes.

It did. But checked its status and it's still in transit. Won't get it 'till Monday.
I don't think I've ever got a game on release date from future shop, it shipped yesterday but the expected date is still Monday

Sorry, dudes discussing the $30 ACIV for Xbone and PS4, I work at Walmart and was doing price changes this morning and the price went back up to $60.

Thats a great deal. Basically PS4 for $399 and PS+ for $30. Would have been album ght savings last year but for someone looking for a PS4 in Canada now, this is their best bet.

I've never actually had 2 do this until today, Does it matter if I buy the game at futureshop or best buy?
My online order is coming from futureshop if that matters.
Doesn't matter.
1) Buy the game at FS/BB. Keep receipt
2) Have fun while waiting for online copy
3) Go back to the same FS/BB and return the online copy (when it comes, not opened) with the receipt from step 1
4) Keep having fun

Hehe, so glad I received my Mario Kart at 8 this morning, even if the mailman woke me up!

Did they use bubble wrap? It seems that the case with mine but no quite sure yet since my mom said no one knocked on the door yet the tracking # said they successfully deliver it.

Yep, the bubble wrap that usually fits in my mailbox. Not sure why the mailman knocked, now that I think about it...!
