Any deals on 1 year PS Plus? My subscription ends on Saturday.

The difference is that, in the case of amiibo, availability and sales is literally, and i mean literally, 90% of the discussion. People raaaaarely ever talk about actually using the things.
I think how it's been handled after the initial thread has been good and it was worth it to move even though it sucks it's in community now but the initial handling of it is where the bitterness comes from at least how I see it.
I'm apart of Canadian-amiibo-GAF and I'm not bitter. The split happened, we got our own thread, and I moved on. As far as community threads go we're not that big.
DEAL???
Daria is $23.99 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0019N8P2W/ref=ox_sc_imb_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB
I hear a couple good impressions about this Y-Cable when it comes to hooking up an external to your Wii U. Can Canuck GAF confirm? http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B003HHK576/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1HU0UETW2PFPN
Mine ended in May. No urge to resub since the June games don't interest me.

So I can leave Telus for Wind now instead of waiting until the end of when my contract would run out this winter?
If you've had it for more then 2 years yes. If you've had it less then two years, you have to wait until uyou hit the two year anniversary. At least that is my understanding.

Yup. Even better, since there will be a mass exodus, Telus might go out of their way to sweeten the deal and keep you.

Exactly. The government has basically forced the phone companies to tie your repayment of phone subsidies to a two year maximum, so that even if you had a "3 year" contract, there's no binding payment owed after the 2 year mark. You own the phone and can bail out if you wish.
The only catch is that Wind is not on a completely interoperable network to Telus/Rogers/Bell, so signal can be an issue (and some phones will just not be cross compatible)

I'm going to laugh if I bring my OnePlus One over there and find out their network won't support it.

Pretty sure the OPO works on Wind.
Don't worry about that. The OnePlus One has AWS support, so it should work on Wind.
The list of Best Buy Canada stores which will be demoing Mario Maker during E3 has been posted: http://www.nintendo.com/en_CA/whatsnew/detail/ngB0IQbP70-Px2A8H3907NJmupZcygBv
Guess it will be Scarberia Town Centre for me

Curious to see what the E3 offer will be, but I'm not optimistic lol. Deals have been mediocre in the last few months so I bought Bloodborne for 36.99 by price matching amazon.ca. It still feel weird since I usually buy a game when it's less than $30, but I ran out of patience and I don't a significant price drop anytime soon.
As far as pre-ordering goes, I see that Blazblue CP extend is 59.99 so I'm expecting a decent price with a 30% rebate or more. I'll pre-order that along with SFV (also 59.99) and another game, but my mind is not made up yet. I just don't have it in me to pre-order a 79.99 game, no matter how good the discount is. XD
I'm a little surprised they're not also hitting Markville since they usually do for these kinds of things. I'll hit up STC for a button.

Funko pops > Amibo anyway
*ducks*
EB just tweeted that NHL 16, Madden 16 and FIFA 16 are available for pre-order but no mention of any deals.......and that is why I stopped shopping at EB

Thanks for the confirmation. Hopped over to my local Wind store and have kicked off the transition. I'll be off the Telus grid in a matter of hours. Paying less for unlimited data is great. Don't think Telus was giving me 4G speed, either (as I was working on a grandfathered data plan for my old 2G phone).
I'm with Fido, and I guess I'm able to bail on my 3yr contract starting today. It technically runs out in August, but I desperately need a new phone. I read a thing on RFD about negotiating a better contract, and apparently they have a promotional one that you need to mention by name or something. Has anyone ever tried this?
You mean calling and asking for retentions?
They have some set plans ready for people who try to negotiate and you may be able to change a few things.

Mine arrived today!
Fido retentions were awesome for me, managed to get 6gb of data out of them by threatening to leave for Wind. Including tax I pay about $60 a month
Wow. That's a pretty nice offer. I wonder if Bell will do the same for me next year when my contract is over. If not, I'll go with Rogers resellers and get 1GB for 36-40$.

I ordered this one:
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B005M0ICG2/
Works great assuming you can wait ages for it to come over from China.
edit - just noticed yours has a different connector, won't help you I guess.
But still 50% above wind.
Ha, right? $40 for unlimited everything for me on Wind. (Apparently they throttle the data after 5GB, though. I've never actually made it that far.)
Was this last year?
I'm considering Wind as an option.
I have a 6GB data plan with Rogers, and they want me to switch to their Share Everything plan. lol

Those share everything plans are SUCH a joke. They feel like a satirical plan The Onion would make
I switched from my 6gig plan to their 5gig plan. Came out 3$ a month cheaper plus I got voicemail that I didn't have before. I've only come close once, and that was when I accidentally left Steam running while I tethered to grab a file. Computer downloaded a gig in about 15 minutes

Just cancelled my pre-order for Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain - PlayStation 4 Collector's Edition on amazon.ca. If anyone was looking for one, start stocking. I did notice though that amazon is selling their's $10 cheaper then BB. But in the end, I just didn't know what I'd do with a replica of a robotic arm.

No offence. But you're living in a bubble here. Who said anyone was bitter? The only time the split ever comes up, is in here. Seriously. Nobody in the amiibo thread is talking about it...at all. Like...ever.

I have a opo and I'm with wind. It works don't worry
two years ago now. They'll have to pry that deal out of my cold dead hands
How's wind?
the waves their phones work through don't have good concrete penetration.
signal is also spotty outside of main hubs (e.g. big metropolitan city)

Any idea what the cheapest way to get a ps3 right now is?

5GB from Rogers?
I always think about switching to Wind, but their coverage is what makes me question their service.
A year or so ago my friend had wind and he has spotty reception in downtown Toronto even inside eaton centre.
I wish they get better soon. Rogers is itching to increase my monthly payment.
I was just going off what other people were saying and the jabs that occasionally pop up in here.
Maybe things are said jokingly. Hard to tell in text since there is no intonation.
None. The best deal was the $360 PS4 TLOU from Chapters (via Visa checkout). It will be a while to see one again.
