Yep. No one would complain if our wages inflate at a similar rate haha.

To use my tax return towards pillows or not.
That is the question.
That is the question.
Hey, this is gonna be a random question, but do banks typically mail out new debit cards when the old one expires? My old TD Canada Trust Card finally expires in May and I'm not sure if I should just wait for the mail or head out and go to the bank.
Also, does the expiration month on the card mean it expires on the first of the month or rather it'll stop working once that month is over? This is literally the first time I've had a card expire (usually lose them or get them stolen) and I'm not sure what the procedure is.

they should mail you a new card like 10 days before your card expires, if not then you should give them a call.
I have 300 coins for Club Nintendo and there isn't really anything I want that falls within that amount... So if anyone here wants a code for anything that's 300 or less, shoot me a pm. First one gets it, I guess.
Here are all the rewards: https://club.nintendo.com/home.do
Edit: Wheelatron responded earliest and got the code.

Our CAD is going (slowly) back up but prices are still rising. Games are up to 79,99$ now.
If we ever get back or close to parity they will take forever to come back down.

Best Buy had them last year so we will hopefully get them again this year.
The deal we are getting won't be that great.

I need it to be great though
Please be wrong.
It could still be the 30% but that's still not great.
I will take it though.
I will too but I'll be pouting through the whole order process.
i'll take it
when do they usually start?
i'm going to go update all my nfo at bestbuy.ca now
HST is going up to 15% where I live.
$92 games... :O
Guess I'll be pre-ordering just about everything in the BB/Amazon E3 deal if it happens.
Otherwise I'm going to be skipping the launch of just about every game now though considering they are overpriced, unfinished, and bound to fall in price fairly quickly.

And thus ends the point where I will buy any game "day 1"
that is insane
Nova Scotia right?
No. Newfoundland and Labrador. I read they are raising HST to 15%

I pretty much stopped buying retail games on day 1. Now it's either on sale or used, nothing else.
during E3 so June

That's the only thing that really bugs me. If the dollar is weak then the dollar is weak; prices are going to go up.
But even if it went up to parity tomorrow, it would take half a year for prices to go back to normal.

Good thing I pre-ordered Zelda U already.
Too bad they canceled my $40 pre-order from two years ago and swapped it with Wind Waker HD

What scares me is they haven't announced what happens to 2016 orders. I'm hoping they leave them until none exist, But I know there will come a day where they won't fulfill anymore.

Yeah, I'm down to games I know I want and whatever I ordered last year now.
It's funny that I'm sad that Rogers Video died, because now I'm actually in the market for renting games and there are no companies that do it any more.

If anyone is looking for a hot deal, you can currently pre- order BLOPS 3 on Steam for only $115 with the season pass! Unfortunately the game by itself is not up for pre- order yet because
I know it says "more coming soon" but let's be real- it's going to be $80 on Steam when they put it up eventually. Game companies are going to kill gaming in Canada.

Just buy it off GMG. Thankfully Activision uses Steam only. For Ubi and especially Rockstar (they really should offer Steam codes too) games though I will have to wait until the price drops on Steam.
Microplay/Videotron still do in QC (and maybe ON?)

Are there any places in the GTA selling the Japanese white Smash 4 GC controllers besides A & C? I just want to see if there are any other options before committing to the 49.99 price.
Hmmm looks like Shoppers has gone the Loblaws route with their personalized coupons now -- you have to load them digitally to your account rather than print the coupons. Assuming there aren't any technical issues, that's good news for me. Printing the coupons was always a hassle, especially when I only wanted one or two. Waste of paper/ink.
I used to let people use coupon from phone but some other stores are cunts about it and make you have it printed. Some stores let you use their computer to print anyways.

I haven't bought new in along time. Now with Newfoundlands GST going from 13% to 15% I may have to get a newer, cheaper, hobby to enjoy.
Yep...the prices are bad enough, but with today`s news, I am definitely out.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Not a gaming deal though but buy 1 ticket on cineplex.com, register with Visa Checkout, and get a free admission coupon!
Pretty cool
No poutine specials yet though.
In 2013.

SteelSeries FLUX headphones for $38 (marked down from $99) These are great headsets for gaming/portable/phone use. This is the cheapest I've ever seen them.
