NCIX has ongoing sales on ADATA and other cards: about $12 for 32GB and $25 for 64GB. They also offer free shipping sometimes if you're too far away to do a local pickup. ADATA is actually a pretty good brand.

Costco. Cards are obviously authentic and you can get a $1.50 hot dog and pop at the same time
Thanks!

Is that how much they cost these days?
You can pay for a membership then cancel before the 1-year is up and you get a full refund.

Oh god, if the Best Buy offer turns out to be points only and Amazon doesn't repeat their offer from last year, deals will truly be dead in Canada. Hopefully you're all wrong with your speculation!

those are too abstract amounts. they've only ever given points equivalent to $5 increments. 400,800,1600, etc

I expect points, which would be kind of terrible since you're kind of trapped into spending more at the store. That's probably the one thing I'm sad about with the death of Futureshop.

Ah okay I'm not used to these points because I always chose futureshop over Best buy.
Whats worse is you can't even use these online.

Yeah, and it's funny because you can in the US version of the program. It's something they've been "working on" for years up here.

Best Buy hasn't done points for preorders for a long time now. I hope they don't bring it back.
We might be looking at the end of an era with E3 sales Canuck GAF.
EDIT:
Hopefully other retailers like WalMart joins the fray with some super saver E3 discounts. I wasn't expecting them to carry new wave of Amiibo a few months ago; not only did they stock wave 4, they were an exclusive retailer for one particular Amiibo. I know that's like comparing apples and oranges but I wanna keep some hope alive for us.

They didn't have reason to do anything before through Future Shop.
There will be competition for our money since it's a big preorder time. How good that competition is, well, we will just have to see.

I can't believe we went from "E3 deals are gonna happen but they'll be shit" to "well now they're just maybe not going to happen somehow."
Why this. What did we do to deserve this
Amazon save us please we'll speak more highly of your shipping from now on I promise

Screw that, amazon shipping suuuuucks. But if that means I get cheap(ish, relatively speaking) games then ship me my damn games late.

I have a 500 e-giftcard for Best Buy and can't think of anything I want from Best Buy.

I hear giving $500 is exactly how to make a random stranger happy.

well it isn't like only video games have gone more expensive.
me and my family go grocery shopping for some beef and pork at superstore and the prices are insane.
A couple of things on clearance at Best Buy. They have some promotion going on to get up to 50% off of open box + demo items so maybe there's a deal somewhere in there as well. Clearance items were lumped in with that but I can't see any additional discounts.

There has to be something something you need or someone for your family needs in there. They don't only sell gaming items. Ask them first before giving to random people.

I effectively get a free membership via executive cash back, but all that means is that I spend way too much money there.
A couple years ago I was contemplating getting one for myself (otherwise I just go with my parents when I need something), but was on the fence. As an incentive, they offered me a $25 costco gift card if I signed up. So I got the gift card, used it, and a few months later canceled my membership and got a full refund. :lol

Beef is ridiculously expensive these days...

Yeah, I've noticed that too. A pack of ground beef was around 5 bucks a year or so ago, that same pack is now around 8-9$.

I went to pick up Splatoon and I got some Tide pods with it. I was so confused

that's a really good point. I will too. At least then we can sort of guarantee release day or day after delivery.

not to sound like a broken record in this thread, but for the second time today I have to mention Costco. Best prices on beef, amazing quality. I regularly eat steak now because of the fantastic price on rib steaks and strip loin.
It's unreal. Now they're selling this weird ground pork/beef mix. I think I'll pass.
Do these prices apply in store or just online?

I spotted NES Remix marked down in store. Didn't see the other two, but I'm sure they're the same.
If Best buy just offers points for their rewards program in loo of a proper discount then they can fly a kite.
For one it's more expensive in the long run then simply getting money strait off because you end up paying more in taxes
More importantly you can only use their reward coupons in stores which is wack. What good is that supposed to do for people like me who's nearest best buy is far enough away as to be an huge pain in the ass to get to? It's simply too inconvenient to be practical
