I believe $75 is the new price for PS4 controllers now. That's why it was a relatively big deal a couple of months ago when places like NCIX and Walmart were selling them for ~$55.

I am at 110,000 pts, good for around $220. Hoping that the stars will align for some nice deals. Don't forget, the extra 20% for seniors on Tuesdays... Just bring a 65+ to enjoy a nice deal when cashing in those points.

Shoppers...what a bunch of trolls.
They've had a demo box of Pokemon Black 2 for like, a year or two on the racks. Last week, one of the demo boxes disappeared. So today I see the remaining one and I think, "Alright, whatever, I'll bite. I finally have enough Optimum points." I take it to the cashier and she looks inside the clear box where they keep all the portable games. It immediately dawns upon me that it isn't there.
Come on guys! Get rid of your damn demo boxes!

WTF

it's free to sign up. they're even doing you a favor. now you can't miss out on the 2x points if you haven't registered before
yuck. here's hoping MS keeps their prices the same. I need that new controller. on sale tho. $60 isn't great either but easier to stomach when it does go on sale

I bought HotS for that much last Black Friday, retail.
And with new games now being $80 that's still $64 without tax on each.No, I have a copy of the English flyer:
Last Day 1 purchase I made was the Witcher III on PSN for $62, doubt I'll be getting any more games day 1 in Canada. $90 is too ridiculous.

At this point I'm pre-ordering stuff on reaction.
Somehow that $60 SFV at Amazon is looking like a steal right now.
Yeah I preordered it just in case.
Yeah I seen SFV on Amazon and I pre-ordered it quite some time ago just to lock in the price in case it goes up.
Can't trust the dollar at all.

I hope there is no minimum, because at this rate the only games I'll be pre-ordering are handheld ones.
not that it matters since they'll all be $49.99

Atlus tax makes all their handheld games $59.99
I still can't get over PS4 controllers being regular $74.99. Insane.
Pre-ordered just in case.

Don't know why but I can't stop laughing at this. Steal indeed
Good, will pre order just in case.
Will buy in store if the price doesn't go up until then.

Subscribed. Thanks for the heads up on Ratchet & Clank and Street Fighter V. Hope to nab some more at.. $60...
Best wishes.

Any deals on Battlefield Hardline out there? I missed getting a used one locally for $35.
EB Games has a trade 3 (worth $10 and up) for $70 but its only to preorder the new Batman or Elder Scrolls online. I still have a few sealed Target games that qualify too but don't want either of those two games.

Jesus fuck i just saw the new assassins creed is 79.99 Digital on Steam?
THE FUCK?!
I just looked at BB and a lot of new games are listed at 79.99
I will never buy a game at 79.99 , with QC tax thats like 95 fuckin dollars for ONE games. LOL.
I havent even bought a single game full price since they upped to 69.99 ugh this is depressing
60$ is a deal now i mean...lol...im out
Edit : 75$ for a ps4 remote...really. thats ridiculous

Pre-ordered. $40 is a good price for me on that game though. I love the R&C games
Yeah I have both Forza 6 and SFV for $60 shipped right now. I can't believe that even counts as a half decent deal now.
It is free to be a member.
Nice. I was worried this would be 59.99 or something because of the exchange rate so was gonna wait till it came down to $39.99. Preordered it.
Ratchet & Clank does list for $40 on PSN too, so it looks like that is indeed the price.
At least for now.

Keep an eye on it. Maybe put a preorder down. It's possible it drops during E3 even if it is only coming out in a few weeks.

As much as I love this deal they do tend to get one or two codes wrong when you finally get them. I got one wrong today. They were good about fixing it last time. I should hopefully here back from them tomorrow with a correction.

Anyone paying full price (i.e. $90 including tax before the inevitable season pass) for the next Assassin's Creed after the debacle that was Unity deserves to be mocked and shamed publicly.
Even if it turns out to be one of the ones that works ok out of the gate, Assassin's Creed games drop in price almost immediately. Perils of annualizing a series.
Pretty sweet deal on Crucial M500 Series 960GB SSD for $369.97. This is the lowest price I have seen on a ~1TB SSD, especially with the Canadian dollar being what it is.

If you aren't a TigerDirect user, NCIX might price match.

I would be legitimately shocked if it wasn't marked down to $39.99 in time for Boxing Day.

It's single player only too.
There's no reason people won't find it cheap by then anyway.
God of War Remastered is also $39.99 in both Canada and the US. Hopefully this is intentional on Sony's part.
You're the best. Thanks for posting the link. Pre-ordered just in case the E3 deals suck (which they most-likely will).

June 16th, no?
I bought ACIV on Wii U something like six months after release for $10 at Target (RIP blessed Target) and even then I felt ripped off because I should've got it at Best Buy or Future Shop a couple weeks after launch for free.
So uhh buyer beware with Assassin's Creed specifically and Ubisoft in general. No need to buy a game Day 1 when it won't work properly for weeks anyway.
I have slight concern about shipping from Japan. On April 17th, I placed an order on Amazon from Sukiyaki JAPAN, and purchase Ouendan 2 (after viewing the Ouendan 2 thread around that time) and it promptly shipped at April 21st. There was no tracking number, however, it had a estimated date of arrival stated for March 20th to June 10th. Now seeing how today is June 10th and it is coming to a close, I am a bit concerned. I am still willing to be patient and continue waiting, however it is concerning. I just emailed them about this concern, however, I would to hear yours guys opinions and say on what I should do or if you had any similar experiences.
Just to note, this is first item I ordered coming from Japan.

nah, the special army one is on the 16th. check the tab for the regular one. says July 7th
PSN prices have changed before.
I think i'm going to scale way back on these day 1 purchases. These prices are getting fucking ridiculous. Wages aren't going up, yet game prices have shot up considerably in the last few years. Just can't justify dropping that much cash on a game unless its something I REALLY want.

If you guys are not happy about the non-deal we're getting this E3, you should post on their community forums like I did. RFD and GAF threads seem to be full of unhappy replies but Bestbuy's forums, that are more likely to be read by staff, are pretty barren.
