Seems to be most AirBnB rental when I check my location, but thanks for the suggestion!
Yeah I knew about LesPac, but their website seems so unused compared to Kijiji, and not free. I will give it a try, it is worth the 5-6$.
My friends have been spam sharing on Facebook...
Debating to pay 23$ so it stays on the first page of Kijiji for 3 days...
oh wow they added AirBnb! it used to be just for apartments... but I see you can turn airbnb off in the sidebar
it's the best tool to find an apartment, AINEC

I've had it happen once with Best Buy, and it was when they used a bubble mailer instead of the cardboard. Whereas it has happened to every PS4 game I've ordered so far this year from amazon except SFV. It may well be that the cases are not sufficiently securing the discs for shipping them individually, but my experience is they are fine if shipped in a box or more secure envelope.

I wasn't sure since I lived in the US for a good 4 months or so before using my Wind plan
You might get away with it if your usage is low enough.

350$ might be worth a short vacation in the US!
I'm glad I still love my 55" 2010 TV.. I don't have that kind of budget right now. Stupid health bills.

I considered it but the warranty isn't valid here apperently and if there is a defect or something the 3 hour drive each was for a return would suck, and I don't even know how that would be handled at the border.
Plus I don't own a vehicle capable of transporting it so I would need to borrow something.
I hope reviews come ahead of time for that one... All I want is a good campaign!

Just got back from Walmart. Someone from Kijiji wanted to meet and buy something off me, else I wouldn't have gone because I feel like shit (flu?).
I found bottles of Vanilla Coke amidst regular Coke, Cherry Coke and Diet Coke. I bought 3.
Of course, they were all warm and the express cooler had none.
This would happen to me too. I hate it when it occurs.
Thankfully it rarely happened for games I cared a lot about.

Uncharted 4 on Tuesday for me, no luck on an early copy (so far). Can't beat the price I got on the Special Edition though.
Mine still says it will ship today, I guarantee it will not.
$50 for the special edition though? Damn.
Pricing error + E3 save 30%. The stuff dreams are made of when looking at the dollar now.
I'm 100% sure it's been asked before but I can't seem to find the answer...
How do I view old orders on Best Buy? My Uncharted 4 is from Best Buy (I'm not worried about shipping or anything, got my pre-order DLC code today) but I'd like to be able to review my orders on their site just for sanity's sake.

I've had my order placed since early 2014 or so and I'm paying $50.99 thanks to the lowest price guarantee. But the SE for an even cheaper price, lol. Amazing.

Consider yourself lucky you even still have Tuesday.
Today mine changed to "Delivery estimate: Tuesday, May 17, 2016 by 8:00pm"

Vanilla Coke is the best Coke. I've missed it.
Who's selling it? I've been trying to look for it at canadian retailers, but havent found any.

It was up on bestbuy.ca but got taken down this morning. I assume they were just putting it in their system and accidently posted it as the Vizio.ca site still doesn't mention it.
I tweeted Costco.ca on Twitter and this was the response
I'm waiting for Costco to have it. $99 for the 5 year Warrenty
Do you have Prime? Seems like if you aren't a Prime member then shipping is nowhere near release date.

So Green Jelly. I paid like $80.

Prime shouldn't even be a thing here, more so when comparing to what US prime members get. It's since the introduction of Prime that shipping times have gotten significantly worse. I swear they hold orders on purpose.
I've been ordering from Amazon for about 15 years and NEVER had issues with shipping, now that Prime is available. It's almost guaranteed I do.
I used to be able to choose free shipping and get items within a day or two. Now nearly everything I order is delayed and takes a lot longer than it should regardless of what shipping option I go with.

They had more Cherry Coke than Vanilla Coke.
There were six tubs filled with bottles of Coke. All dry tubs, though. Three were around the pop aisle and three were just outside of another aisle nearby. The three in the pop aisle only had Cherry, Diet and regular, whereas the second set had Vanilla. I almost missed it.
If that's a thing, my summer beverage is decided. Who needs beer?
Cherry Coke Zero is the best. Only in the US, though.

Coke Zero is drinkable; much more-so than Diet Coke. However, even with vanilla or cherry flavouring, I would think that the crappy aspartame taste would still make it a bit of a chore.
I've only drank Diet pop since I can remember. I love it. Diet Pepsi is infinitely better than Diet Coke. Coke Zero is good too.
Diet A&W Root beer is awesome.

To each their own. I know some people really like it.
I wish I did, because I drink 2 cans of Coke a day, sometimes 3, and ingest too much sugar. Sometimes I also have an energy drink, but that's just a recent thing.
My teeth aren't great, due to not having benefits for a while and I'm overweight, so switching to no sugar would be good. My friend used to buy Coke Zero all the time, but he's switched back to regular Coke. I would drink Zero with him and in booze drinks, but never fell in love with it due to the aspartame.
not happening in Canada this year at least
It definitely is. But seems like I found myself tired of drinking sodas. I just don't drink as many sugar-y drinks anymore.
I used to drink 1-2 a day too, especially on work days. But I cut down when I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. The weight loss it led to (with working out a bit and cutting on other stuff) helps a lot. But even that isn't enough, I'll need surgery next year.
But yeah, when your life is on the line, it kinds of kick your butt into watching out a bit more.

Sorry to hear that. That makes sense, though.
I have sleep apnea, but they said it's only in my neck and doesn't bother me unless I'm sleeping on my back. It's nothing they thought was worth treating.
Just noticed on my amazon.ca order. Uncharted 4 will ship May 13th and I'll get it May 18th-20th.
What in the blue fuck is this nonsense. First, and last, time I preorder from amazon.ca I'll stick with bestbuy. Only preordered there cause I wanted the special edition of DA: Inquistion. (No, not the SE for Uncharted 4. Sadly.)
Also is the vanilla coke all over or just in certain places? Cause I'm down to buying a case worth. I miss that stuff.

Is it even available in Canada? The shop page shows nothing with Canada selected

Yeah =/ I went to one today and was told the same. Guess I waited too long
lul. No, they just keep them and sell them all on ebay.
My brother I drank 2 litres of pepsi/coke/cola a day for years. I had brittle bones, was overweight and some skin issues because the massive amounts of sugar meant I wasn't able to regulate insulin properly. To control my cravings I found the caffeine had addicted me as much as the sugar so I bought caffeine free pepsi. 9 days of the most powerful headaches ever, flu like symptoms, aches and fatigue. And then after 3 months, gave up cola altogether. 6+ years now, 50 pounds less, and my skin has bever been better and even fixed my insomnia. Going diet cola is a step. But the best step is cutting it out altogether. Try caffeine free for a while as well. That way you get your sugar but if you get massive headaches you're probably just as much addicted to the caffeine as well.
Crazy stuff, glad you recovered.
