Not Amazon related but I get games from Japan regularly (they come thru BC sorting facility to reach ON) and since mid Jan I've had all my packages take twice as long. 4 weeks instead of 2 weeks.

Is there any "port strikes" or something related like last year when there were amiibo/Majora's mask 3DS shortages?
Says for me that it's shipping tomorrow, earliest delivery guarantee is Monday, IIRC.

Hahahaha my copy of fire Emblem fates is also stuck in Richmond, B.C. However that is over Canada Post.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
XCOM 2 + Steam controller for $80.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/268500/
Anyone know what the deal with the controller is, will it be shipped out?

Seems to be US only and people report being unable to check out on RFD. This would make sense since that controller is only available at EBgames in Canada.
Yeah, mine still says "In Progress", no movement on shipping. Shame, really, since the few times I've ordered from Best Buy, they've shipped early and I received games 2 days before release.
Oh well, not the end of the world, the backlog game will be strong with me for another weekend.
They should have just put everything in the "Required by regulator" area.
Yeah you get all the free OTA channels plus CPAC for $25.
Ugh, the price of sports channels really kills it for me.
OMG, that stacked discount was actually bigger than I thought it was. I was expecting the stacked 30% to be taken off from the already reduced price, but the discounted amount is taken from the original price for both of them. So instead of Game Price x 0.7 (30% discount) x 0.7 (30% discount) which is 51% off when all's said and done. It actually turned out to be 60% off.
Got Street Fighter V for $27.10 including taxes.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Embarassing.
My Videotron package gives me phone, unlimited internet, basic cable & 30 a-la-carte channels for $90.
Wasn't there suppose to be some required kids offering too included in their basic offerings from BDU's? Don't see any.
Realistically, all I need is that Tween Entertainment pack and I'm good to go.
Judge me if you like.
Edit: But yes. It's insane.
Edit Edit: What's this all about. Do existing packages with Rogers get grandfathered in? Is everyone required to make a switch to one of those packages?
Edit Edit Edit: Hot damn, that Kids Entertainment pack would cover everything too.

VF with an octo gate? no...
Yup. Looking at the prices, it will be Starter Pack $24.99 + Sportsnet Plus $18 + TSN Plus $18 + Canadian News $5 + HD Box $10(?)
Total: $75.99 (Just $4 more to get Rogers VIP package which pretty much includes most of the themes mentioned in the pdf)
That's twice to what I'm currently paying though it doesn't include the TSN channels that I want.

The CRTC really lacks the ability to see how providers will circumvent their regulations.
Remember when they did away with 3 year contracts? The providers responded by increasing monthly rates.
Basic channels for less? Charge more for everything else.

Kinda dumb question, but does anyone know of a decent place to buy a not super expensive and not super ugly CD Player / boombox in 2016?
Yeah they increased the rate and decrease the features (data decrease). You can't even sign a 2 year contract without being forced to get the new plan which is more expensive and less data.
Then they increased the price again due to the canadian dollar but only where they don't have any major competition.
The whole thing is a big joke.

Is there anywhere to get a New Nintendo 3ds bundle at retail-ish prices in Canada?
How is this a la carte? The CRTC is a disgrace.

Rogers is going to drag their feet until Dec. 1 for the "a la carte" (pick-and-pay) option. Those are the small bundles.
Nah my turned up a little bit dinted, probably makes no difference one way or the other
On crap, forgot to ask. If you're not wanting to keep it, are you maybe considering selling the system?
I want to cut cable so bad, but my grandma uses it so I can't cut it
Help her to transition to streaming media.

Of course this happens as soon as I order smth. I hope I can get home to cancel my order and take advantage of this. Thanks for sharing.
Those channels are really broken up in evil ways. For me, it'd cost the exact same for the things I use, but there would be less channels overall. I'll stick with my Extra Plus, thank you very much!
10% off Fire Emblem Awakening art book for those who were interested in that
I wonder if I can get this applied to my Starfox Zero game guide preordered?
Wait how do you get 15% off at Chapters? I don't see anything mentioning that on their website. Lately the "deals" they've had on the weekends haven't applied towards books making them fairly worthless

What exactly are you referring to here? How could I get this discount?
I think it was even 20% off when they had the visa checkout promo once.
