Sorry to ignite the shipping GAF flame....
Purolator failed to deliver my adapter AFTER leaving explicit instructions on how to deliver it. So now my ass has to travel up to Kipling Avenue to get the damn thing when I have the time. Really. Why can't EB Games just use Canada Post to deliver packages from the website?

Hopefully that will change
I mean, DS4s have been on sale three times (Boxing Day included) in the last several months.

You don't get to bring friends.
Falcon amiibo order from Amazon shipped 
People should stop linking to that bogus study.
You know, my Canada Post carrier used to be terrible. Not even trying to deliver stuff. Just leaving the "failed delivery" card, even when I ordered a goddamn TV from them.
But this Christmas, they've been great. Delivering stuff on time. Actually knocking on my door. Maybe the last guy got fired.

Yes but it hasn't been lower than $40.
Canada Post, at least from my recent delivery. I was shocked that they had so many games avaliable online too.
CP, I think.

my 2TB Seagate sailing smoothly still, i dunno

I would agree with this, I avoid Seagate after my first one and the free replacement died in months. Bought a WD and it is still going strong.
Excellent. Yeah, their selection is better than I expected. I was actually looking for Azran Legacy (another game that seems to have quickly disappeared) but it looks like only TRU has that readily available.

No, I know. But, I'd gladly pay $40 for a controller and can wait. I have no need for a second one right now.

Should I expect Amiibo wave 3 to pop for preorder at some point at FS and BB? Did they appear later than other retailers for wave 2?
Mine too. Well, it's actually a Samsung drive inside.
Canuck GAF, I'm thinking of buying this TB Seagate External Drive and I don't even need anything THAT big. The price is right though. $142.99 for a 4TB external drive? I don't think I can walk away from that unless someones seen better. Anyone know how long the price dip will be in effect?

I wouldn't risk a Seagate, and at 4TB, that's a lot of potential data to lose.
A few days ago, it was 110$ from Amazon.ca. It was also at that price a month ago.
Damn, is it?

That sounds really hyperbolic to me. I've never had any problems with Seagate external hard drives. And my Western Digital just crapped out after a year.

cost me $189 after pricematching, i just hope its worth it.

Anyone know any retailers that are selling Vita 1000 USB cables or chargers?
I really need to get another cable to play some portable Suikoden, I can't find mine after moving.

good deal, but i'm looking for something that i can get a little sooner than over a week.

No, but they buy their phones outright/unlocked. Absolute robbery that cellphone carriers in Canada require a minimum of $80/month for an iPhone 6. I will NEVER pay that much. My plan with iPhone 5 is currently 2 GB and unlimited everything else for $50 per month.
This. Never doing business with Robbers again if I can help it.

Yup. I'm so glad I bought my phone instead of being stuck with a contract.
Mine ran out on the 15th and I tried to wait out for a boxing dale sale and there was nothing. Couldn't wait any longer so, I bought mine off PSN today and I wasn't charged any tax, not sure if stores do though.
My ebgames has a wall full of this one. I'm not buying any but pretty sure the rare ones are the store exclusive.

Does anyone know if Futureshop will Price Match the EB Games Vita Deal? I missed my shot at EB Games down south and I'm kicking myself for it.

$4.58 USD (plus shipping/handling)
25% Off Clearance Items with Code: CLR25 (expires tomorrow)
I was hoping for something that would include an extended battery. Though the monoprice one looks really like the Nyko one, and would be extremely comfortable.

Thanks.
What can I expect from Monoprice's shipping? Would it be realistic to get it this week in Alberta?
Yeah, I re-upped on a nice two-year contract ($45-55/mo. depending on how much data I use) and a Nexus 4 with Bell and the plan going forward is to live month-to-month once the contract is done, with whichever phone I choose.
In a simpler world, I'd just port over to Wind and be done with it, but I'm out of my local Wind zone at least once a month and I know I'd get destroyed if I ever went on a driving vacation anywhere.
A while back someone in this thread referred to the 55$ Koodo 5GB plan, and I got it. PM me for the details if you want to. I got the iPhone 6 with a 10$ tab and I'm paying 65$ a month. Canada wide unlimited talk and text.
Any protective casing worth a damn for it? Seems pretty good but has call quality improved? I think that was one of the major drawbacks.

Not with their Canadian shipping and the stat holiday.
I have the Ludia case and it's done a good job protecting my phone. Also, I haven't had any issues with call quality, possibly the clearest phone I've ever had and more than enough volume too.

Sweet. Is it still difficult to get? I'm still reading up on it. Seems it's still highly anticipated by people in the know.
EDIT: When I have the funds for one and if I get an invitation, I'd like to buy that sexy 64GB version in the charcoal grey.
