How much is Hyrule Warriors going for? I haven't seen it in any boxing day flyer. Only Smash...

Probably because everyone on this forum bought like a lifetime supply last boxing day! lol
No sale on it so far. I have it for $50 shipped though if you're interested. Just shoot me a PM.

Black Friday looks better than Boxing Day, which kind of makes sense. Canadian retailers have to compete with US retailers so they'll be more aggressive. Also Black Friday isn't a holiday here so it's harder to get Canadians to the stores that day (technically it's not a holiday in the US either but most take it off).
With Boxing Day it's a Canadian thing and with most people getting the day off they'll stand in line even though the deals are mediocre.
Not sure about that bug but I was clicking around aimlessly so it's probably just my browser. Thanks for including PC.

- I'll have to talk to the developer about that one. I want that as well but it may have to be addressed later.
- That might be a bug or caching issue. I can't reproduce itTry opening an incognito/private tab to see if it's happening still. PM me browser details and what you steps you've taken to trigger auto filter if it's still happening.
- I haven't forgotten! I'll try to include them in tonight's update.

I guess I should have bought more than two cards last year then.
It's $50 at Walmart I believe =P
I really liked what I played of the game at a store kiosk but based on my experience with Muso games I'm hesitant to spend more than ~$35 at the moment. It doesn't seem to go on sale that often so I'm worried it might end up leaving shelves before it gets discounted.
I just remember looking at it in the eShop and going "That is way too much, I'm not paying that" but that's how I feel about $50 3DS games so probably.
Nah, just Smash according to the flyer. Mine would still be cheaper regardless =p
I think $50 is the actual price it's retailing for, no sale or anything. I'm almost 100% sure that's the price I saw it at when I went to Walmart last week. I'll double check tonight but yeah, adding tax you're still cheaper.

Nothing.
$3 pillows at Target eh?
Wonder if WM will have that same pillow deal up this year!!
I wish mech kb's got decent sales here
I honestly couldn't sleep on anything other than a memory foam pillow ever again after having one while living in Europe. So I'll keep an eye out for pillow deals, but not as methodically as I have in the past, lol
Glad the rest of Canada GAF can keep up my tradition of getting excited over pillows though

where's the best place to pick up a reasonably priced memory foam pillow? My neck has been hurting for a few weeks now
I've been looking for the past few weeks since I got back to Canada as my down feather pillows just aren't cutting it anymore after using the memory foam one for so long. Walmart seems to have cheap ones, but very few reviews for any of them.
Let me know if you find a reasonably priced comfortable one.
Doesn't memory foam get really hot?
The one I had did not. Bought it at Carrefour in Greece though, so no frame of reference as to what brand it was. I had a pillowcase on it as well and it always stayed cool.

Has anyone spotted any keyboard deals for boxing day? Wired if possible.
Someone on Reddit said a Toys R Us in PEI got a shipment in today. I'll be frantically calling my local Ontario stores tomorrow.
I went to about six or seven different stores today in Ottawa with no luck.

I hope they have at least ONE good deal. I have a $100 gift card to spend, and while it may not expire, I don't want it forever.
I don't know if anyone cares but,
NEW DEAL
good deal if you buy something and return it 2 weeks later

If you only want the TV for console gaming and movies, I think 1080p and 60hz is a much better choice budget wise. I don't think there would be a console game that would go over 1080p with 60 fps in next 10 years, and by that time you might already want to replace your TV

Yeah, if you're just doing PS4/Xbox One gaming go with this. (If you had the disposable income and are just trying to future proof, there's no point unless you're gaming on a PC hooked up to your TV for 4k gaming. PS4/Xbox One are not made to do 4K gaming)
EB has never done anything in terms of actual deals from Boxing Day. When I worked there (8 years ago?) we literally had no deals yet we still had lines out the door... So... They don't have to do anything for Boxing Day. Kids just bring their Christmas money anyway.

They usually wait until the last minute. The manager at my local EB told me on Black Friday that their management is sure that if they post it too soon, other places will price match them. Not sure if that applies to Boxing Day too, but it seems that way.
Not true at all. They usually have pretty good deals on Boxing Day (week), last year they had Max Payne 3 for 9.99 and GTA V for 39.99 along with other newish games in the $10-$40 range. I specifically remember getting a lot of the recent Ubisoft games for $10 years ago.
What? I'm pretty sure they do pretty good deals, like the 50% off used games if you bought 5.

This doesn't make any sense because they usually have the same games on sale, but at a higher price.
EB is weird. I still don't get people buying opened (most likely used by stuff) games as brand new for full price. Lines at EB are always huge. Don't prople know about better prices at other stores, or they just don't care?
Plus, it looks like Lucario is already sold out at TRU site?! Do they also carry those preorder cards as in the US? I've never seen them at my local store.

No they don't do preorder cards for Amiibos.
The preorder has yet to go live afaik. Sign up to be notified when preorders are avail. They only put the listing up today.
I have a feeling I'll be up all night waiting for this one. It'll go fast for sure.
What other options are there for games? BB, FS, Target, WM all have larger crowd since they sell more than just video games. I guess there's always online, but some people don't want to wait a week later to get their games during this time of the year, not to mention online stocks are always low compared to in-store for these type of sales.

Anyone got any coupons for Best Buy usable in-store? Thinking of getting a TV tomorrow. I know of the $10 gift certificate thing but I'm not buying online.

Anyway, that coupon will only work for January.

I hear ya, I sometimes get annoyed by it, but really once you open your copy it's basically used too. I almost always opt for a used copy to save a couple bucks as long as there's not significant damage to the packaging.

The $10 certificate is ISPU and not online.

I'm disappointed in the lack of PlayStation Plus membership deals right now. Unless, I missed something.

EB's usually a decent place to go to for Boxing Day sales on more obscure games, because they put so many on sale. This Black Friday wasn't so hot, though, which makes me skeptical of Boxing Day as well.
I'm sure Boxing Month will provide us with a bountiful harvest.....BELIEVE.

Question about buying a phone at Futureshop, will the people working there take the phone out of the box and mess around with the settings or will they just get your information and set up a plan?

Not really, but there have been ways to shave some cash off the price through creative means--I think the best deal so far was when Staples had the Zotac 970 for $363 and you could apply coupons against it.
