So I'm hearing Oshawa Target closing very soon. Maybe next week.

They are in a mad rush to get out of Canada.
I wonder if they will move the rest of the stock to just a few outlet locations so that they can cut staff fast.
I've got a spare Mac that I may be able to part with (was holding for a friend, ostensibly for a Lucario trade, so I need to wait) if you're still interested in a few weeks.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
That's what a conservative majority gets you. And drones, lots of drones to appease Harpers robo-fetish

Ok Oshawa ain't closing but theyre one of the few stores not to receive anymore trucks since traffic is the lowest apparently. Most stores will continue to get trucks

Tried the new 3DS XL last night. Seems pretty solid. It's harder to compare it to my XL since it's in a case but it seems sleeker and has curves that remind me of the iPhone 6.
The D-pad is smaller and the face buttons seem less loose. The head-tracking 3D works pretty well.

I don't like the Oshawa Target. The customer service sucks there. The store itself is nice enough, but that's it.
Good thing I don't live there, and hardly ever bother with Tar-jay.

I've only played with the OG N3DS, but yeah, I think it feels like a solid machine. The nub is really stiff, oddly so.. but it works. And the improved 3D is real. Not sure if I'll use it much more, but you can really move around and keep focus. For the few minutes I played with N3DS, it seemed to strain my eyes less.

It's a beautiful system, but I don't like the glossy outer shell which smudges easily. I wish it was matte.
The auto-brightness is also annoying, but it's otherwise really good.

Does it smudge as easily as the original 3ds?
User 479360
Banned
I can't say for certain, but it's certainly not smudge resistant. I'd say they're pretty close from limited use.

No ,i don't think so. The n3DS has an interesting look. It's almost like a matte look, but with a coat of gloss over it (I'm speaking from only seeing the black one). You can see smudges, but the paint job underneath hides them better than the one on the OG 3ds did.

My hands also sweat, so there's that. My OCD hates it, but there's nothing that I can do outside of finding gloves to wear. Ones that are cheap and can be thrown out after use.

just get those super cheap/thin mittens (you know the ones, those common things can are like 97 cents) and cut the finger tips off.

Then I'd obsess over any lint coming off of them, lol
Plus, if they don't come in a package and aren't sealed I won't consider them clean.
I'll stop with the craziness, though.

PS Store (CDN) $10 credit for $6.75 USD (roughly $8.50 ish CAD) via paypal.
Bought $30 worth of credit for $25 and change, codes emailed to account and redeemed with no issues immediately.
I guess if you stack it with the weekend's 10% promo code, you could potentially end up with some decent savings!

The other day I was looking at my shelf of amiibos and had some serious buyer's remorse. I think I may cancel my remaining pre-orders...I think I totally fell into the hype machine trap.

Looks like you need to buy Majora Mask AND STEAM to get the MM pin from EB. Isn't it only STEAM in the US?
That's what I had heard.
Either way, it's just a pin.

I rub them on my shirt. Only the top part/shoulder area, though, where it's clean.

That makes more sense then getting the pin for MM by buying Code Name S.T.E.A.M., but I still thinking people buying MM only deserve the pin. I'm personally getting just Code Name S.T.E.A.M. of the two, so no pin for me and that's fine.

Are wii nunchuks discontinued or something? I need a replacement one but they seem sold out everywhere
The slow death continues.
Blue and Pink Wii remotes seem to be impossible to find too. Looks like Nintendo isn't making more of their older Wii accessories.
Gamecube Adapter ordered from Amazon yesterday just shipped. Arrival on Thursday. Gonna go grab some GC controllers from EB tomorrow when I do my trade-ins for the n3DS.
Maybe also visit the n3DS hands-on event later on at Best Buy, although that's an hour away... it's always like this. It was a pain to head to the Smash Bros event too.

If anyone is interested, I have two of these coming my way on import. I'll send one to a Canadian Gaffer for $50 shipped via paypal. Keep in mind it's the Japanese one, so the packaging is as picured (actual amiibo looks and works exactly the same)
Why are you scalping here?
If you posted this in the Amiibo Discussion Thread you would be torn apart.
