Any thoughts on Need for Speed Rivals? It's on sale at WalMart this week for $29.99 and just wondering if it's worth it.

That's too much.

It was a PS4 launch game. $19.99 at most.

It's a really good game but you should be able to get a better deal on it.

IF you were planning on getting the Xbone version I would suggest putting that money towards EA Access and getting all the other games, including NFS, that come with that service.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

We should get a PS4 KanadaGAF King of the Hill room going.

FS E3 preorder for MK X shipped. So glad those orders are still valid.

Well that was disappointing. Went to see Furious 7 with D-Box, and the moving seats weren't used at all during the movie. What a waste of the upgrade fee. Complaining to Cineplex through social media, hopefully I get a free ticket or something out of this. I would've just sat in my normal seat (near the front) instead of at the back in the reserved ones. Has anyone else been to D-Box Furious 7? Was it just not turned on for my showing or does the movie straight up not have it?

Did you try telling them at the theater? They are usually good about handing out free tickets when malfunctions like that happen.

Complain to the management in person? That's what I would do.

I would have but I'm in Quebec right now and I wasn't brave enough with my lacklustre French to try.

They most likely have English speaking managers there.

I panicked, ok. Ah well. Home now. At least I only paid for the upgrade, and got half the movie for free (Thanks GAF).

Totally cried at the end.

All these MKX shipped posts

Here I am processing my own despair with thoughts of "WAS IT REALLY WORTH SAVING $10"

Shop.ca?

You will probably get your shipping notice tomorrow.

They always send me my shipping notice a day after it actually ships, on release day.

Huh, that's really weird. Despair averted. My hype for MKX is slowly consuming me I guess.

Speaking of MKX. Amazon.ca still has MKX KE's available... For Xbox One. $159.99.

 

[terrible]

I have only used shop.ca twice for pre-orders but I got both of them day 1. That's a small sample size but they seem surprisingly reliable.

Thought a PS4 controller for $64.99 was bad? They're now $74.99...

 

[UberTag]

Makes sense seeing how they still retail for $59.99 US.
Clearly these are the PS4's Vita memory card equivalent.

If you want a PS4 controller might wanna hit up Costco. I was there last weekend buying BBQ stuff and they had PS4 controllers for $58.99 I think. They also have an online store

 

[Dazzler]

Could be worse bros. I'm on vacation in Dublin right now and ps4 games cost over 94 CAD here based on current exchange rates

What are their salaries like over there though?

That's only $10 more. We'll get there.

 

[Joeku]

Weird, my Paypal MKX Futureshop order didn't ship. Says it didn't go through. First time that's happened with Paypal there...anyone with random insight? I hope it'll be as straightforward as going to pick up a Best Buy gift card, but I'm so goddamn tired of the BB/FS online system arbitrarily not working sometimes, especially when I can't just go fulfill the preorder price in store. So roundabout.

 

[Enilced2]

Wow never got a shipping notice for my E3 Best Buy preorder of MKX and now I'm being told they are out of stock great.

 

[nobodyshero]

Has anyone's special edition of MKX (with the scorpion statue) shipped from FS?

 

[catpurrcat]

Anyone recommend the best price on MKX today? Costco or independent stores? (GTA)

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

All I know of so far is that Walmart will give you a 10$ GC when you buy it there.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Did Best Buy send out any codes for Goro yet? My copy is out for delivery, but I've got no code yet, and they're not included in the box.


Edit: Scratch that, the Goro code did come on the box after all.

 

[DeathByBacklog]

Which Scorpion statue? The Coarse Vinyl or the other more realistic one?

That's what my FS E3 preorder of MKX says too! That's pretty ridiculous.

 

[Jashobeam]

just got MKX that I ordered from shop.ca, UPS dropped it off at exactly 11:30am just like bloodborne lol.

 

[User 479360]

Seriously? Argh...

I wish I wouldn't have returned the $40 one I got from Walmart, because I didn't have a need for it right now and figured they'd go on sale again. I only have the one. Stupid, stupid me.

(My OCD makes me want to keep things perfect until I need them and take great care to keep dust and grime off afterwards. So, I would've likely kept it in its package, and didn't want to open it to find that it was defective/out of warranty.)

 

[Dazzler]

Comparable to Canada when I last worked in Ireland, which was over five years ago to be fair

 

[catpurrcat]

Thanks for the tip! Hmm still thinking to wait this one out, $80 all in even with a gc is really pricey. Maybe a price drop in a month or two.

(Anyone in toronto with an e3 order and buyers remorse message me, $50)

 

[User 479360]

I saw DualShock 4s for $58.99 on Amazon, but it's through a seller. Would I still get a warranty if I purchased it that way, through Amazon? Or would it be through the vendor?

I've never dealt with this type of thing and can't stop obsessing over the price change since I'm cheap. lol

I just bought two Wii U GameCube adapters at the Aurora, Ontario EB Games store. They have a few left. Check your local stores if you need one.

Any deals on controllers?

Wow, I was just at Superstore, and they have a huge stack of Nintendo DS Lite systems in various colours, as well as a stack of DSi systems. They also have the launch Cosmo black 3DS package. What the hell? It's like travelling back in time.

 

[Sealtest]

Anyone see the price of the new guitar hero bundle?

I don't get why they're charging $129.99 for it in Canada when it's only $99 US. Are they just trying to bleed more money from us because noone questions it?

The Canadian dollar is weak.

 

[Sealtest]

The Canadian dollar is weak.

And $99 USD is $123 Canadian, No need for them to charge an extra $5.

 

[Whifflebat]

The Evil Within PS4/XBO is $29.99 at amazon.ca and Best Buy. Worth it?

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

And $99 USD is $123 Canadian, No need for them to charge an extra $5.

They round, and it could be $130 or more when it's released.

 

[Deleted member 126221]

Oooh yes! While not as incredible as Resident Evil 4, it still feels like a spiritual successor. I really enjoyed it despite some rough edges.

 

[Rione]

Usually the last digit would be need to be greater than 5 to round up to $130 dollars ... either that or apparently I don't understand basic math.

But I don't think the price will fluctuate much in fact the dollar has been pretty stagnate for last few weeks.

 

[Enilced2]

Okay so after talking with Best Buys customer service they cancelled my online E3 preorder for MK X and let me pick it up in a store near by for the same price I was getting. They are actually all kinds of awesome

is this the superstore in aurora? wouldn't mind grabbing a lite.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Surprised at Guitar Hero Live coming to Wii U...

Anyways, we're paying a $30 premium over the US version, which is more than just buying it in the states.

$129.99 for the game... Get bent, Activision.

They probably baked in the cost for shipping from the US to distributors in Canada too since the controller probably ups the case weight for shipping quite a bit.

Yes. I don't recall the prices though, sorry.

Mine still says the same for both Xbox and ps4 versions although the site says in stock online. I contacted them and they said they fucked up at the warehouse and it should ship today sometime. My games always ship from the Vancouver warehouse so I'm curious if anyone in western canada had theirs ship. I wonder if they'll compensate.

 

[Eoyote]

Was also able to find a Gamecube Adapter at EB here in Calgary. Nice to finally check that off the list.

 

[Kryptonite]

I got a gamecube adapter too. Now I just need to go out and get some controllers

 

[Kieli]

Kinda weird BB guide costs $10 less for us than glorious America (even more when you factor in exchange rate).
