This topic makes me sad 
Now I keep any game I had preordered for $40-50 even if I wasn't really interested in it!

God damn it. I had Splatoon and Mortal Kombat X pre-ordered from Amazon's E3 deals last year. I canceled both. This year I paid $59 for MKX and I'm regretting not keeping the Splatoon E3 pre-order
Fuck my poor intuition
AMAZON. AMAZON SAVE US

I still have my MKX preorder for PS3. It's bound to be absolute dogshit because of High Voltage but I'm keeping it because after finishing the SP I might be able to recoup the cost selling it used. :S
Yup, I regret not pre-ordering anything during last year's E3. Some of the games I didn't care about at the time I'm excited about now.
With flawed deep discounts the first two hours and superior discounts to Best Buy then after.
Or shipping in time for e3 2016

Semi-deal:
https://www.ebgames.ca/PS3/Games/715003/atelier-rorona-plus-the-alchemist-of-arland
Rorona Plus PS3 is $25 new, if you find a sealed "recycled" copy at King and Yonge in Toronto, it's $20.
Sealed recycled copies are what I'm told are overstock copies brought from the US, and they said they can't sell them at new price. So they're new games at used prices. Sweet!
FYI, the game is STILL $50 on PSN ($40 on Vita), and sale prices don't get much often match or go below $20 so if you want the game, this is the way to go IMO.

You can get TLOU PS4 for $360 @ Chapters Indigo with 20% visa checkout.
edit: Looks like you can do it too with other consoles like 3DS, WiiU etc

nah, that's normal
or rather, it's a glitch that's been around for a while. I don't think anyone in Canada has had those particular rewards ship yet. They seem to be rolling them out one at a time. Some people in the States have gotten their puzzles already.
Ok, that's a relief. Thank you kindly
Has it ever been cheaper than this in Canada?
I think this is the cheapest PS4 without including price error.
WOAH WOAH WOAH, is this for real?? I thought Chapters excluded electronics and stuff on their offers.

Congrats!! I wanted to snag a vita, but it seems like they dont have them.
Interesting: "Offer excludes Apple® products and accessories; gift cards; Kate Spade®, LEGO® and Rosetta Stone® products; used books/music/DVDs; and loyalty memberships or Love of Reading products or donations"

Dang, was gonna buy an iPad with the chapters deal but of course Apple products are excluded. Great deal for a PS4!
I had my Puzzle from Club Nintendo ship this past Tuesday, but my Zelda pouch hasn't been shipped yet.
How did the 20% off work, was the coupon applied automatically after you pressed visa checkout and before you completed the order?
Yes. You should see a discount of $90.
Yeah and they take the 20% off pre-tax so you are only taxed on the $360.00 which is double awesome.
I am so tempted on that ps4. Damn you all
It's hard to imagine it getting any cheaper with the dollar situation. If you're even on fence I say this is too good to pass up.
ah good to know. hopefully mine will ship soon!
Well probably because it would be illegal for them to tax you on the 450-360 portion ;P
Savings/coupons are always done pre-tax.
Unless someone is holding out for a revision I'd say you're right. I would be surprised if we saw the PS4 go for cheaper any time soon. $360 is a pretty good deal considering how rare sales have been.

dying light or mortal kombat x ppl ?

Two very different games.
Dying Light if I had the choice. MKX is a horrible mess, IMO, with bullshit micro transactions.
Easy fatalities? What a joke.
Yea. Dying Light

Seriously a great game. I am so glad it sold well. I probably put in over 40 hours into Dying Light and there's still a lot to do.
I can't recommend it enough, it's like Far Cry and Mirror's Edge had a zombie baby

are there ever any "deals" on pc components?
I'm looking at doing a mid range build that will out perform my ps4 (i5, gtx 960 or 970) and it looks like i'll be paying twice what anyone in the US would pay
people on kijiji/craigslist unloading old gear seem to be charging full retail or 10 bucks off for their used shit, i'd rather just buy new at those prices :/

i feel like NCIX just had a deal but I could be mistaken....
I don't know if this will work at every Best Buy, but at the south London store because they have a tone of clearance games from Future Shop, they were selling them at half price. Basically anything in the gaming department that ended in $xx,95 or $xx,97 was being slashed in half. Worth a try for anyone willing to try it.

It's very infrequent. Keep an eye on the parts you want in shopbot. Jump of gaf bst thread deals. Depending on where you are, if there is a microcenter across the border it's actually worth the trip.
I might need to check that out. Thanks for the heads up.
