NEW DEAL
VideoGamesPlus has their Boxing Week sale up. Some interesting items, most notably (for me anyways) physical copies of DJMAX Technika Tune for $39.99, which is kind of nuts considering it NEVER goes on sale. Chrono Trigger DS for $19.99 as well. A bevy of Atlus, NISA and XSEED titles are on sale too, if you're looking for something that FS/BB and EBGames aren't likely to put on sale.

They're still showing up as 49.99 on the site. And of course I checked out without looking....

I never noticed that by 8pm the websites meant EST. Lovely, so long for FFX on Vita. :(

Not only that but it was delisted from the JP PSN, who knows if the same will happen here. Every Vita owner must own this game, my absolute favorite on the system.

I remember seeing awhile back play-asia now charges for items even before they ship is this true? Thinking of finally making my digimon cyber sleuth preorder.

I'll ask here.

I have a $5 XBL code from the GameStop thing from months ago, but sadly the code won't work with my Canadian account.

Would someone who bought one of those $45 for $50 XBL cash packs have an unused $5 code from that? I'll trade you for it. :)

No, it's one of the few that was $50. Probably because of the licensing costs of the music. It's kinda niche and rare, so has maintained it's price. If you're remotely interested, I highly recommend you pick it up because the price will only go up once retailers sell out.

Will BB/FS have any more new sales, or are all the sales up already? I have some gift cards and I was hoping that Smash for 3DS or Alpha Sapphire would be a bit cheaper, even if it's just 5 bucks off. :(

The regular price for Technika Tune is $49.99. That's not a Canada tax, either; the game just costs that much. The theory goes that it's the Kara licensing that jacked up the price, which also happens to be the theory for why it got pulled off the Japanese PSN (the licensing may have expired). The Kara songs are pretty sweet to have, so I think it's worth the price, but YMMV.

I'm tempted to buy an Xbox One controller while they're cheap, but am still hesitant because so many are disconnecting randomly. It's likely a system issue that needs to be updated, though.

I've been passively wanting this game for a while now. Might just hop on this. Did the PSN version ever go on sale? I take it that same version will be delist sometime in the near future?

I hope to grab me Halo Anniversary on 360 for $10. I don't have my OG Xbox copy anymore, but seemingly it's mostly faithful. Isn't it just the multiplayer that's been criticized as being changed? Also doesn't it have the option to make the graphics like the original version?

Dang it, I thought Evil Within was going to be $25 on PS4 as well. It's $25 for PS3/360 only and $35 for all other versions. Lame.
