What are you guys hoping for as far as Boxing Day deals go?

I'm hoping for Far Cry 4 and Hyrule Warriors drop to $40.

I'm hoping for FC4 as well and maybe Drive Club but only if it dips to $30 or below so I'm not holding my breath on that one. I'd like a deal on PS+ subs like last year but I'm not too concerned about that since I'm good until January 2016.

Wow guys, regular people in this thread know that trends come and go here.

Pillows, E3 deals, Quebec bashing and shipping woes are all trends that come and go. Currently it's Amiibo talk.

Chill out ;)

Is there any place where I can buy a digital PS4 game code that works on the Canadian psn accounts? I want to buy a Far Cry 4 digital code for my brother.

any info would be appreciated, thanks!

I try not to bleed Amiibo discussion into the deals thread but I was reading this Toys R Us Lucario Amiibo Reddit and found this:

http://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/2pde6a/ama_toysrus_tru_manager_and_fellow_amiibo/

I reached out to the Toys R Us Canada account on Twitter a few days ago (December 12th, to be exact). They said that Lucario amiibo pre-orders would go online and in-store for Canadian customers "within the next 7 - 10 days". So, anytime from now, until next Monday, any Canadian users can expect Lucario to pop up on Toys R Us' Canadian site.

So, you're right about it not being available, but only because it hasn't been made available for us Canucks quite yet! =)

To those looking for Driveclub & Sunset, watch for Future Shop's "VIP events"... One took place in the evening right before black friday and both games were 29.99$, also other games were actually priced lower than at the BF (Infamous, MLB, Forza, Killzone, Watchdogs were all @ 20$).

I'm all set with games for a long time. If there's a deal on Mario Kart 8 or a Pro Controller I might jump on that though.

I'd like a $500 3D printer so I can make my own Amiibos.

Drive Club, Forza Horizon 2 and Diablo 3 PS4 to drop to $30. Tales of Xillia 2 to drop to $20. That's seriously all I can think of right now. Maybe a good Xbox One deal with Halo MCC dropping to $40

I'm hoping Lords of the Fallen will finally get a deep discount. I saw it drop to around $50 on Amazon, but I'm hoping for $40 or lower.

I just saw the link! :(

Why didn't I visit the website when it was up for pre-order? I didn't even know they had announced it yet :(

Now I'm sad. I'm sure it's going to be super limited tooo euhhh

Someone PM Vinny, lol

Also, I feel we need to change the thread's title taking into account all of this Amiibo talk.

"Marth ado aboot nothing" would be more appropriate, given our collective Amiibo moaning, lol

Well, I finally transitioned from only buying amiibos for characters I like to buying ones that might be hard to get. It feels both exhilarating and awful lol.

I'm going to take my chances and just wait to get Metaknight instore. Not too big of a deal if I miss him, there are other ones I'm prioritizing.

Depending on my mood I MIGHT buy Call of Duty, Halo: MCC, or Lords Of The Fallen if there's a good deal.

Meta Knight actually looks like a good quality amiibo. But the shipping kills it for me, so maybe I will order two and return/sell one to reduce my costs xD

Only one I've done this with so far is Shulk, but it's definitely a slippery slope, lol

Not to say I don't like Shulk, it's just not one of the amiibo I had originally planned on getting. Then all the stuff about GameStop exclusivity and only having enough to meet pre-order demand hit the rumour mill, and I panicked. :p

That's why I'm not bothering with any. The one I really want is stupid rare (villager) so figured to not bother at all.
