I know it's not Toronto but I got mine at gamestreet in Mississauga, it was at rockwood mall at dixie and rathburn. You can call them to see if they have any in their store and I think their website sell those as well

I don't think it's Purolator's fault in this case. It's the misleading fucks at shop.ca claiming they have stock when they don't.

When Club Nintendo was still around, I would place a hold on upcoming games and then get the code from the case insert.
The buttons are Standard Sanwa 30 MM buttons and you can use either the standard snapin or screw in ones or even replace with Seimetsu ones if you prefer.
Theres a lot of places on the internet to order them from such as http://www.canadianjoysticks.com/ or Arcade Shock or even the Playdium store for pickup if you're in GTA. I think they deliver too.

I still think mine is fairly accurate:

NEW DEAL @ Best Buy
PS4 Arkham Bundle (with TLoU:R and 3-months of PS+) $449
DS4 controllers $50 (save an extra $5 online with promo code RZPS4)
MLB 15 $30 (save an extra $5 online with promo code RZPS4)
Gold headset $90 (save an extra $5 online with promo code RZPS4)
Does anyone have one of those codes for shop.ca? My dad was looking to buy something from them but I remember they have like constant $30-$50 off coupons so I told him to hold off for now.
Where would I find one of those codes? Never really bought anything from shop.ca so I don't really know.

Might grab the ps4, though it's be the older model right? Is the difference big enough to make it worth waiting?
Is the new model available in Canada? All the website I visited only shows the old model.
it looks like a CUH-1100 i think it was slightly improved wifi
I have a launch which is a CUH-1000
i think new models will be CUH-12XX less power usage (rumoured(not confirmed, cause not out yet?) cheaper parts)
i think the sweet spot might be the CUH-1100 (last of us model)
this is what i have gleamed from my cursory reading while looking for new models

They dropped it by $5 more?
Fuck. Mine hasn't even arrived yet.
edit: NVM. It's still $29.99. Hazu was posting from the US Store.
Sorry, I thought this was the same store as the one in Canada. ;_;
You can always try but it is not guaranteed.PS4 controller is sold out everywhere
Looking for a black one and a white one... could I price match with Walmart with the promo code on top of that?

Hmm, that's pretty close to win Superstore had that at $499.99 with no tax. (it ends up being $507 in Manitoba)
I have a black one that I picked up on sale that I used for literally long enough to see that it doesnt completely work on my ps3 the way I thought it would. Would sell it shipped in box and with receipt for $55PS4 controller is sold out everywhere

Long shot - anyone in Winnipeg have a wii u they want to sell?
that kind of tends to happen with games that become instantly redundant after 12 months

Still a great deal.
Mine shipped fairly quickly despite the fact that it said it was back ordered.
Was gonna ask the same question, so thanks for this. It's a Flash Sale for Best Buy today only, so shit or get off the pot anyone who is still debating it.
Yikes haven't bought a game in Canada in months. Too bad there isn't like a gaming selling site that could sell games at a cheaper cost than Canada (eg GCU prices on $20-30 U.S. Games). Even with the CDN dollar in a slump, gonna wait for Black Friday at this point. Hang tight Canada GAF
I just googled it, found a 50$ off 175$ purchase last month. Give it a try...
:O Oh snap, I didn't know that. In store too or just online?
I was hoping to have a few days to mull it over!!
Grabbed a new DS4... thanks a lot for the info!
lol I thought it was the silver LE bundle. then again, if it were, people would be making noise. I'll stay on the pot. the game I want the system for isn't even out in Japan yet and the English version will be out early 2016 probably
Sony's not gonna do a deal on BF if our dollar keeps sucking, yeah? lol

... I kinda wanna buy the Playstation Gold Headset. I've been looking for a good wireless headset under or around $100, and my choices were that one, or the Corsair H2100.
I bought it for 80$ on amazon to replace my old PS3 official headset (that lasted 5 years) and I can tell you it's not worth 20$. It's cheaply built, not comfortable at all (that fake leather ugh) and the sound is absolutely terrible.
I didn't return it because I'm a lazy bum and I needed it to talk to my friends while playing online.
Save your money.

Yeah I did some quick googling and from the looks of it they are decent wireless headphones but the build quality and microphone is all shoddy
Guess I'll hold out for the Playstation 'Platinum' headphones if those are ever a thing

I wonder if they've started to see a change in purchasing habits already.
Yeah I missed out ordering the black one online so I ordered a blue for instore pickup.

Reserved one of each, went to pick them up and found two black controllers on the shelf. Not sure why they didn't show as in stock online so make sure you check when you go to pick up.

Is there any specific reason for people preferring the black controller to the blue, or is it simply colour preference?

Black looks better for electronics imo

Most other colours show wear a lot more. The only other colour I would picke up not on sale would be a camo and it would have to be like the DS3 one.
I prefer a wide range of colours for my controllers. It probably has a lot to do with growing up during the Play It Loud Game Boy phase and Nintendo 64 controllers. None of my brightly coloured controllers show anymore wear than their black counterparts. I'd only be wary of white, depending on the plastic, for stains. Of course, I say this as a guy who imported a white Gamecube Smash controller.
