Why do I want the red DualShock 4 so badly? I have two great conditioned ones, and hardly use the thing.
It's so expensive

GCN adapter is a bit more common i think. reserved it in store at the best buy oakville yesterday and picked it up
Happened to me too, Witcher 3 same issue. I got it almost a week later. (I just picked up a copy from BB on launch and then returned the one I got a week later, didn't want to wait)
Maybe this will help

Edit: Sold out online now, but it might help you find one in-store.

This is the only way I'm buying new games besides what I still have pre-ordered from Futureshops $49 deals.

Managed to find a nearby store with a pro controller in stock. Almost missed it. The employees didn't see in the display case and thought they were sold out. If I didn't notice it on my way out, I would have missed it.
Played a few rounds on Splatoon. It is quite the fun, but I definitely need to get better. I had a 1 to 3 wind to lose ratio. I had no problems getting into a match and didn't notice any lag.

Huh?
It was stolen not lost hahaha.
Honestly believe they just messed up. Tracking said it ended up in Alberta(I live in Ontario), so they probably messed up shipment somehow. Either way, so long as I get my ps4 in the end I don't really care what happened to the original shipment.

Whoever got it, probably kept it TBH.
That's fine with me. Chapters already let me know they are sending me a replacement so hey, good going dude in Alberta.
Holy shit, loving all these 3DS price drops.
Had no luck with Steam today, been to three EBs all over Winnipeg and all sold out. I have one PM from a Fellow GAFfer, but if anyone has a spare/got it and doesn't like it let me know, I'll pay for shipping plus a Tim Hortons.
Are the Splatoon and Pac-man amiibos rare? I saw a whackload of em an hour ago. Behead me for bringing up the subject if needed.
Do you guys think I could buy Splatoon now, and return the copy I get from the E3 deal? I ordered it from Futureshop but I haven't gotten any shipping notification and it's showing as out of stock in my order status but it is showing stock in my closest Futureshop turned Best Buy. I'm just worried that it'll be out of stock past the return date.

I saw a bunch of Pacman at WM, I ordered 2 online so didn't pick-up in person. Pacman is not really rare.
Not sure about Splatoon, didn't see any at all!

A few more I can not remember, but only $4 each. I ended up picking up Watch dogs, Knack and MLB the show for 14-15 bucks.

It would primarily be used for local duels, otherwise, yes, it's not useful.
I've only every used mine for Smash Bros. I tried it with platformers like NSMBU and Tropical Freeze, but the Wii Remote and Nunchuck are far better for that.
I will probably just use it for awkward games like Hyrule Warriors which is awkward with gamepad lol.

You can tie it to a wiimote for motion controls during local 1 on 1 dojo battles.
$4? That's unreal if true. Can't imagine that being nation-wide. Surely someone else would have reported by now...

I can confirm that this was going on in Winnipeg. My younger brother who lives in Winnipeg told me about it yesterday. His understanding is that Superstore is getting out of selling video games.
Wow, wild. Worth checking into here in Ontario or do you guys think it's only in Winnipeg for now?

Please buy Sleeping Dogs if you see it. It's an awesome game and I want a sequel, damn it!
I'm actually working on my second playthrough now, and just about finished the campaign.

Is it sad that I'm going to check the EB Games trade list to Superstore to see if I can get three qualifiers and grab Splatoon?
Also, couple of questions about the shop.ca/Pizza Pizza thing:
- When does the Pizza Pizza promo run through?
- Will shop.ca be getting Splatoon and Xenoblade 3D in soon? Thought I'd use it to grab the two games ($75+tax for both is about E3 pricing) but neither's on the site.

There's a Shop.ca video games thread on RFD, though it's been a month or so since the last post. Shop.ca's really bad at stocking video games, though, so I wouldn't expect to see either game on the site in the near future/ever. Especially not Xenoblade 3D, that's crazy talk.
I'd buy that for a dollar.

Can we get a moment of silence in the memory of Arby's?
DAMN YOU
DAMMMNNN YOUUUUUUUUU YOU SOOTHSAYING BASTARD!
I was in Whitby on an errand, so on my way back to Toronto, I decided to stop by the Arby's in Ajax.
..... They're closing down on June 21st. NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The closest location after that will be in... Oshawa.. :\
Would love to know if this is happening in Toronto. Can anyone confirm?
