It's pretty good, but their cheesy/garlic/parmesan breads are really bland.

Today only on Amazon. the complete dexter blurry for $99 (down from 500)

I think both are fairly insulting, it's just crazy.
The former is $1 more than the exchange rate so I get it. $79.99 doesn't make sense though.
The boxset is so good looking, shame only half the seasons are good.
I used to order from Domino's but after a couple of times of their illiterate delivery drone giving me lip, I stopped ordering. Fuckstain would call me and whine that I didn't give them my buzzer number and then I'd get the pizza box and the number would be printed on the label.
The pizza itself was always ok though. They had some good deals.

Domino's just reminds me of school info sessions. Cheap, decent, and greasy.
Didn't they change their pizza a few years back? I haven't had domino's in a while lol.

It makes perfect sense if they want to extort Day 1 customers as much as possible and figure that anyone that's going to pay $74.99 will probably be stupid enough to pay $79.99.
It makes sense because it's almost the same as the dollar value of the game in the US.
Which game are you talking about?

I actually like Domino's so this isn't anything against them, but I fully agree with the above. Panago is fantastic.

Shot in the dark question. Are there any deals on the N3DS XL right now anywhere? I just realized I'm picking up a good amount of 3DS games next month, and I also got my vacation pay this week. So now I guess I can justify that N3DS purchase.
It's been that way on PSN for a while.
For example I bought COD AW on PSN last year for $69.99. That might as well be the game at retail for $59.99 plus tax anyway so I didn't feel bad getting it at full price like that.
But god damn I really didn't think I was gonna skip out on COD Black Ops 3 this year... And the reason is the fucking $79.99 price point. I can't remotely that purchase at that price.

If you have a Superstore near you that does games, and this is YMMV...

Holy shit how long is this on for? There's a Superstore that's a 15-20 minute bus ride away from me.
you don't wanna waste 40 mins and end up emptyhanded. call them or something first. ask about stock and the promo
We just had this conversation like a month ago but this is still very true, so consider this quoted.
Don't think it will get cheaper but I think it had poor reception so there is a chance.
The Star Wars announcement is around the corner, but it'll probably be a while until it goes lower.
How much you like it depends on how much you like Disney fanservice and the Marvel characters. I enjoy it, got plenty of hours out of it, but I'm also a huge Marvel fan as well.

I miss the east coast, need Greco in my life.
Same here. It's not the best game but for some reasons
*cough* Marvel

Panago is top tier. They take their sweet ass time making the pizzas though.
yeah lol. when there's no deals, we talk shipping. when there's no game releases, we talk pizza and/or poutine. the CGD cycle.
Where are you? The ones I saw were at the St Anne's superstore in Winnipeg. They had two. I can't remember which colours.
Lots of random games on sale too. Nothing jumped out at me since I'm still a Gen behind. Almost bought the $212 TLOU PS3 bundle.

Domino's has the most nongreasy pizza in my experience. I love it for that reason
Thanks.
I still have one or two days to think about it, but based on your posts, I probably will get it.

Listen to this man, UNIEL is amazing.
Must be nice living in this alternate reality where Pizza Pizza is good.
Same thing with DmC Devil May Cry. I wonder if this will be the standard for complete build games and remasters/remakes going forward?
Listen to this man for listening to me!
Jesus.
Pizza Pizza is like the McDonald's of pizza. If you're in the mood for a burger, you don't go to McDonald's, and if you're in the mood for pizza, you don't go to Pizza Pizza. You go to those places because they're convenient and cheap.
Just means RIP Canadian retailers. If it's going to cost me $7 cheaper to buy games from the US, I'll save all my game buying for a trip down south and buy them there.
It especially makes no sense for digital games to get that kind of increase, since there is no manufacturing, no transport, no retail space, no cost of production for them to say they need to increase.
We're back to the era of almost $90 games with tax. Think about it, for anyone who lives close to the border. $79.99 becomes like $66.46 usd. So it's $6.47 cheaper to buy a game in the US. Inversely, $59.99 usd becomes $72.21, so about $7.79 more expensive. Plus we have higher tax. I'd rather get family to bring and buy me games up and pay them the equivalent exchange rate etc.

Yeeeep I'm out. I can't even justify this price for Metal Gear or Persona 5. I used to buy all my games digitally on PSN because they don't charge tax, but $80 is too much for any one game. We are getting dangerously close to $100+ N64 era of game prices in Canada. This is a race I want absolutely no part in.
$79.99 is just over $90 on the Rock.. Hopefully BestBuy/Amazon have the e3 deal again, I guess we will be looking at $59.99 as the discounted price if we are lucky.
Kind of a crapshoot but I'm gonna ask here anyway: I want to order stuff from Amazon Japan and apparently their only option for international shipping is DHL. I'm worried that DHL will charge me insane brokerage fees like they usually do. Does anyone here know if that's the case?
I guess so. I remember ordering something from HK and the value was around $50. They charged me around $23 fees. Pretty much half what I paid. lol
Yeah, I won't take that chance. The way DHL fucked me over every time I ordered from Thinkgeek has made me learn to avoid them at all costs (and therefore stop ordering from Thinkgeek full stop).
I envy those Americans who order with DHL and apparently never get charged fees on delivery...
I ate a bunch at the Panago that opened here (F'ton, NB) a couple of years ago. I really should go there again. It was fantastic.
I drifted away from Greco for everything but donairs and oven subs. Pizza is middling, garlic fingers are bottom rung.
Yes, as long as it's the Canadian site (I think they have a US one as well).
Awesome. Time to get a new controller.

Yes, I've done it a few times however depending on who you get to process it they may or may not add NCIX's shipping free to the price.
