If you ever want deals on official Nintendo titles, you'll find them a lot quicker on Kijiji or Craigslist than retail.
Hey, nice find.
Aside from this, SDM 20x points day is the good other value. My local SDM even has the Splatoon bundle.

Great find! I know the Ninty refurbs are quite good. I wonder if the source has some sort of warranty on these.
Thanks for this! I just purchased. Gonna strap an external HDD onto it to make up for the storage shortage.
I will soon be a squid, then a kid, then a squid, etc.
I'm like 80% sure that's how I pre-ordered my Shulk amiibo online but that was a while ago.

Since my Sony Bravia died, I've been searching for a decent deal on a "dumb" (as in: not Smarth) 40' HDTV. I've been looking around for a while, but I'm still really not sure of what is quality and what isn't. My budget is around $400 (ideally less, but I don't know if that's possible), and the only things I need are decent image quality, 1080p and not too much input lag. Any suggestion? I saw very cheap sets from brands like RCA and Insignia, but I couldn't find any review... Guess I should avoid those, right?
If you're an EDGE member and want that Black Ops 3 minifridge, check your e-mail. EB's doing one of those early pre-order things.
One of those is just a Best Buy brand, I think it's Insignia? I've gone Sony on my last two TVs (both Smart TVs though), and they're quite nice. Samsung seems like the brand most people go to, so I'd say start there.
Edit: Yeah, it was Isignia I'm thinking of. As jholmes said below, avoid those brands.
Why did I pre-order this thing?

Dude, don't get the stupid fridge. Although I guess it's more useful than an expensive iphone case that comes with Fallout.
Solid pickup for $180. Any software come with it?
Also if you're getting Splatoon, is there a Toys R Us discount still active?
Definitely avoid the discount TVs. You just don't save enough given how cheap TVs are today and they can just up and break on you.
I spent about five seconds and found this LG 43" LED at Walmart for $400. I'm not necessarily recommending you go out and get it, but I am saying that at your price point there's no reason to save $25 to get a shitbox like an RCA. (I had an RCA die on me so I get a little hot under the collar about their crap TVs.)

Deal got RFD'd by the way.
God damn it. Would have been a great way to replace my stolen system (even if it'd need an external drive). Hopefully another deal like this comes up soon
To be fair, that's where I pulled it from.
You in the GTA? I grabbed one, but hey, if you're trying to replace your stolen unit, I'd do you a favour and just sell you this one for the same price I got it for?
I don't want it that badly. I want to be a kid, then a squid, but that's about it.
Ditch Bell!
I was going to ditch Telus for Wind except my phone isn't compatible with Wind and I don't want any phones on the market right now, so I told Telus to make me an offer and they gave me a monthly discount for a year. If your carrier ain't at least doing that, find one that will.
Yeah I'm checking my options right now.

I assume no new offers will be as good as any old offers though, in terms of phone contracts.

I think the SK/MB loophole was closed ($55 for 5GB or so on Koodo). Otherwise the discount carriers (Koodo/Virgin/Fido) have the best deals.

Since we are talking Wii U, how much (in Toronto) would this go for?
-Basic bundle + 500 GB external hard drive
-pro controller
-2 wiimotes and 2 nunchucks (one wiimote is 3rd party)
-Mario kart 8
-Mario galaxy
And adult owned. Pretty sure I have the box too.
Was thinking of listing at $250-$350. Fair?

Thanks! How about this Toshiba:
http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product...spx?path=563e598e5daebce4662200a4279348f9en02
Is it supposed to be quality? I can't really find any review of this particular model, but I guess Toshiba is a pretty good brand... right?

Hmm... If anyone has info on actual response time for this TV I'd be interested. It says 9.5ms but the advertised response time is always lying.
Way more than fair. Don't go any lower. In fact, I'd start at $350. I haven't been keeping up with used WiiU prices, but I think that can go for $300.

Thanks (and Cisce too) for the input, very helpful. I realized I also had New Mario Bros Wii too.
I'm probably going to avoid online classifieds and try GAF first or friends-of-friends first to minimize the hassle.

The first review I read on it seems pretty awful, heh.

Link? I can't find anything...
If you had posted this before the $180 Basic Wii U refurb deal was posted, I totally would've taken it for 300-350.
Maybe PM the guy on this page who had his stolen? Perhaps he'd be interested in buying it from you?

Doesn't look like it's the same model (40L310U VS 40L3400U).

Aww! And you're in Toronto too! Ah well, good suggestion though!
Mouth Watering DEAL!!!
So guys, it seems Krispy Kreme is doing the buy one dozen and get another special again. Like last year, its only one day long.

Oh RIP, I didn't realize Google did the "Did you mean...?" thing when I entered that model number, heh.

I'm tempted to pull the trigger, but the lack of reviews is disappointing... Any opinions on Toshiba HDTVs in general?

cheers!
Slim pickings as usual lately
My gaming related purchases this week consisted of Ori and Borderlands Handsome from the Xbox sale
Heh, looked up Splatoon on Kijiji and it's like 500 pages of people trying to sell amiibos for a gorillion dollars more than retail. Zero copies of the actual game. Should just go with toysrus I guess.
I had lots of reasons for not preordering it via future shop last year but in hindsight I wish I had.
