Did you call them? My experience with ncix is that sometimes they're pretty content with just letting your order sit there without updating you if an issue comes up.
not likely. there weren't really any great deals during the shopping season and the rest of the year tends to be quite dry with only basic deals now and then. very small chance you might see something around Canada day otherwise it'll be next holiday.
best way to get a cheap ps4 is at shoppers. have a shoppers optimum card and go on seniors day with someone over 55, give them the card to hand to the register and you can do the paying. you'll get 20% off ($90).
No problem fellow Canuck. Were your questions answered there?

I saw a Sunset Overdrive Xbox One at the Yonge and Eglinton Future Shop in Toronto.
I recall someone looking for one a while ago.
Also, I know some people are having a hard time finding Guilty Gear physical but I do see that Amazon.ca has both the limited and regular editions on sale.

I was looking for the bundle but now it'll have to wait. Thanks for the heads up though.
Memory foam pillow from Futureshop came today. Thanks for whomever posted the link Got mine for $30 and these things go for $90. DAT pillow deal. Also, My Pit and Captain Falcon Amiibo's finally came in the mail today. Am happy
Free 1 year PS Plus subscription with the purchase of any PS4 bundle right now at FS, which is pretty good actually.
there's a bundle now with a free year of PSPlus, but not sure how tempting that is or not
That's something you should do ASAP.

Anyone have any ideas on where to find Pikmin 3? FS, BB, and WM are out. I guess there's Target, Superstore, and Toys R Us, and used copies from EB as a last resort. Sucks that it rarely went on sale and now they're really hard to find.
EDIT: I'm in Vancouver.

I recall Markham Walmart having 5 copies for full price a couple weeks ago, don't really imagine they have sold out.
There may still be some new copies in the wild. I was just at the EB at Promenade Mall in Thornhill and I saw they had a copy.
I saw some at Target in Etobicoke (Cloverdale Mall) last week, but not sure if they still have now

my pleasure!
Sleeping on them is a joy
They're thick enough that I only really need one of the two at any time
Wal-mart at keele and lawrence had 3 but I bought 1 full price on Boxing Day and a day later the others were gone. People weren't kidding when they said physical copies were drying up.
I regret not buying it during Staples clearance now, but I didn't own a WiiU yet.
That's when I picked up my copy. I regret not buying any Xbox One stuff from Staples, since I didn't have an Xbone then. Especially controllers and Dead Rising 3. That game is still $50 everywhere for some reason.
Don't know about the whole country but I went to two locations in Toronto. One back in November and another just a few days ago. Both had clearance games. Picked up UMvC3 for the Vita back in November. The other location had nothing I wanted. Sometimes you just have to try your luck If you got time check out a few locations to see what you find.

POP figures, probably AnimeXtreme or Silver Snail. they tend to have loads of them.
Games, go with GameCentre, Gameshack, Iceman Video Games (Either Kensington or Queen/Bathurst locations). if you have the money, maybe A&C Games

Anyone have a recommendation for an HDMI switch? Cheapest store options are about $30 but they're significantly cheaper on eBay/Amazon.
I use 99gamers all the time and it's the REAL DEAL.
Seriously. Like every week I have some game coming in.

Question, anyone know where in Toronto I can find a shop that I can bring back my empty cans like in Montreal to get like 5 cents a can?
I got a few cases worth stacked so I can make a few bucks, if this is available here.

My only recommendation is to get one that is externally powered. Grabbed a cheap one that only used HDMI power a while back, it switched to another signal while I was in the midst of a boss fight in Demon Souls.
Apparently the issue is common with those kind of switches.

What, is that not commonplace in the rest of Canada?

IIRC the return stations in grocery stores limit the amount of cans you can return per visit or something. It's 24 cans for mine
You don't just have a bunch of bottle depot's around? They're everywhere here
yep

I can also vouch for that second one. Going on 5 months and it works great!
Where are you? I didn't know anyone in Canada did this, other than the Beer Store.

When you mean external power, do you mean something like this?
I noticed this one is cheaper than the other HDMI switchers

I'm also looking for an HDMI switcher. I have one of those Playstation 3D Display monitor things (got it on Boxing day 2-3 years ago for $99) and it only has 2 HDMI ports. I have 4 consoles that need hooking up love.
EDIT: Welp, whatever, guess I'll get that Kinivo one
DESTINY HAS BROUGHT YOU HERE
I can vouch for the second one as well, it is really good. Bought it due to the reviews by Gaffers. You don't even need the remote, it's smart enough to switch by itself once the system/tv/whatever is turned on.

So I ended up buying the White PS4 I wanted from Best Buy at the very last minute of the Boxing Day sale. I already sold both games for $40 each, so if I can move my PS4 with two controllers for $400, I'll be pretty much be breaking even. Basically got a new console with a fresh warranty for a few bucks, plus got that limited edition white console, which I believe, is still sold out in most stores.
I also bought a 2 TB hard drive on Boxing Day and did the swap today, that was a lot of fun to do! Highly recommend every do it, it is worth it for $100 for something that will last you 5 years.

I saw two new copies at the FutureShop in Central City Shopping Center last time I was there.
Wait for a 20x the points day.
At a Shoppers drug mart thing? I never actually used that how does it work?
I shop there from time to time cause there's a Pharmaprix next to my work but I never got the card.
