Went to upgrade my 5S to a 6+ today at Bestbuy only to be told my University, whom I have the contract with via Telus, owes the service provider twenty five thousand NUMBRZ
Looks like I'll have to wait till the 5th of January until I can even talk to anyone. Gives me time to debate between the + or the Note 4.

So $25,000,000? Thats a lot of money...

On a more serious note, has anyone had more luck with the gamecube adapters shipping from EB? My order hasnt moved :/

I'm a sleep deprieved human being, what are numbers even!?
As for adapters I'm still sitting at the same status I was the 800 other times I looked.

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.

Maybe you're right. Maybe I have a bias against it, but I wouldn't put all my eggs in one 4TB solution from seagate. I would think about setting up some sort of raid situation, so if one drive fails, you have some degree of redundancy.

If I preorder something with my amazon prime trial and do 2 day shipping will I lose it later when I cancel the trial? Lol. Or will I be charged for it instead?

 

[Ondore]

OK, something weird happened overnight. I bought something from Walmart during their Boxing Day sale (12/24, actually) and it took my debit Visa and charged it that day. The item shipped, but I checked my bank account this morning and the transaction reversed.

The item looks like it's going to deliver today or Friday. There's nothing on the actual order suggesting an issue.

Did I just get really, really lucky? Or are they going to come back later and nail me when I don't have the funds?

Someone a few pages back checked with Amazon and was told they'd get free shipping still.

 

[flkraven]

I went with the WD drive out of reliability fears. Also, I like the blue colour . 2TB should be more than enough for my Xbox for the forseeable future.

 

[oneran]

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?

Looks like wave 3 is up for pre-order at futureshop/bestbuy now!

 

[zephervack]

Meta Knight already out of stock?

 

[nobodyshero]

Lucario is on toysrus.ca, but is unavailable to preorder. Did I just completely miss out? I didn't even see it posted here.

 

[zephervack]

No one has rosalina?

 

[isny]

Meta Knight already out of stock?

He was sold weeks ago. He was up twice and sold out almost immediately both times on both FS and BB's website.

Lucario is on toysrus.ca, but is unavailable to preorder. Did I just completely miss out? I didn't even see it posted here.

It has yet to be available for pre-order on Toys R Us's Canadian website. The listing has been there for a week or two however.

No one has rosalina?

Target will, not online, in store only as Target doesn't offer e-commerce here in Canada.

 

[OrangeYouGlad]

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.

You won't have a problem getting one when you're ready if you check the GAF invite thread. Also, you can only buy the 64GB one, they aren't selling any other version right now.

 

[Roto13]

Ordered a thing from Amazon Monday night. Selected free shipping. Thing due to arrive today.

People pay extra for this kind of speed.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Wow I got charged 50$ for PS+ because apparently it was set to autorenewal even if I had bought a prepaid card. How is this shit legal in Canada?

It sucks, but the fine print does warn you on-screen upon activation (saying you can turn off auto-renewal in psyment settings). You're right though, it shouldn't be legal. On the 360, they used to make you call in to cancel.

 

[Draysoth]

Hey guys fyi bestbuy and futureshop have Ike and King Dedede up for preorder now.

Pretty sure auto renewal isn't legal in QC. What an horrible company. Glad I went more PC gaming this gen.

 

[OrangeYouGlad]

Sold out on both.

 

[isny]

My Captain Falcon's from Amazon just shipped. I ordered an extra if someone wants it at cost. Just shoot me a PM.

 

[BigJonsson]

The Sennheiser HD 449's arrived, sound pretty good with Spotify on my OnePlus One......hopefully these can keep my ears warm in the winter

Wow, these things are super lightweight

 

[Zing]

I'm asking for a friend:

Any current deals on Xbox live subscriptions?

 

[Socreges]

Nintendont is only for gamecube games. If you want to play a Wii game with GC controls on WiiU, I believe the Wiimote-to-GC-controller adapter is your only option.

And I am to understand that it's very hard to come by, in-store or online? :/

 

[OrangeYouGlad]

You're thinking of the WiiU GC Adapter. He's talking about something like this.

 

[jstripes]

Ya, I saw an email like that yesterday, but with a failure to process warning. I was a bit confused.

Jokes on them, though: My card is maxed-out!

Spoiler

Ugh.

 

[mdubs]

Heads up, Sony is beginning to ship out the Canadian 20th Anniversary PS4s.

 

[Later Alligator]

hoping its here for friday but guessing monday

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

Looks like wave 3 is up for pre-order at futureshop/bestbuy now!

Thanks! Pre-ordering!

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

Lucky buggers!

 

[Draff]

damn, the concierge in my building has started to make snarky comments and insinuating that I'm running a business from my condo because of excessive online ordering. Welp, with all the Amiibos I've ordered, the parcel train's not stopping any time soon...

 

[Sora_N]

The hell? DDD and Ike are already gone again. I'm glad I grabbed it from Amazon early.

 

[i-Jest]

The wave 3 Amiibo's I wanted are sold out at BB. Looks like I'll be sticking with Amazon for this wave.

 

[zroid]

god dammit, lol

 

[shadow2810]

Heads up, Sony is beginning to ship out the Canadian 20th Anniversary PS4s.

Just got my notification, I completely forgot about this lol

Est. Ship Date:

01-01-2015

 

[The Elite]

I suggest picking EB over Amazon.

Amazon has been terrible for Amiibo so far.

Also, FS seems to still have stock in of all the wave 3s.

Wavebird nooooo

 

[Reveirg]

Has anybody's amazon.ca Pit Amiibo ship yet?

They shipped Luigi but not Pit, they were in the same order ;_;

 

[Goodacre0081]

this is why I always straight up delete my CC info after i make a purchase.

Yup, got my shipping confirmation today for both Pit and Falcon.

My Captain Falcon and Pit have been Preparing For Shipment for two days now. D:

Do we need a Canadian Amibo discussion and hunting thread?

 

[Spike]

Do we need a Canadian Amibo discussion and hunting thread?

This would be a good idea.

 

[a916]

Do we need a Canadian Amibo discussion and hunting thread?

I was under the impression Nintendo was happy to just create the first shipment and be done with it? Thus eliminating the need for a hunt but creating a 2nd market.

 

[curb]

Wow I got charged 50$ for PS+ because apparently it was set to autorenewal even if I had bought a prepaid card. How is this shit legal in Canada?

I think it says that's how it works somewhere in the text on the PSN Store page when you buy plus or redeem a code for a sub.

 

[ultracal31]

I got my Pit and Falcon amazon order today actually

 

[isny]

Do we need a Canadian Amibo discussion and hunting thread?

I think we do at this point. Amiibo's aren't going to be going away anytime soon and stock availability is so dif in Canada than in the U.S.

 

[Yasumi]

Do we need a Canadian Amibo discussion and hunting thread?

Yeah, it's kind of consuming the thread at this point.
