Oh man.

Just got done updating a metric shit ton of best buy and futureshop orders from days of yore as my previous credit card was cancelled due to fraudulent activity.

Somebody charged $900 to my card for a garage door... what a thing to steal.

I have no idea how it happened as i'm very cautious with my CC and this is the first time this has happened to me. Probably a card skimmer.

$62.54 USD is just $2.55 more than buying it off Blizzard site. Since it's just really the keys, you can try selling it for like $55 USD in BST or something and send them the codes in exchange for PayPal. It's like you paid $7 for the beta.

huh. that's a pretty good idea. I won't lie though, I've never used the BST thread before, so Im a little worried about what could happen. I'll have to ponder this. thanks for the suggestion

If you aren't looking to wait for a revision the current Microsoft Store promo for an Xbox One is pretty good. You get $40 to $75 depending on your gamerscore. Stacks with the $50 + 2 free games (Just Dance and Call of Duty are highest value I think) promo running along with the included games in the bundles.

From RFD:
GS 0 - 9999 - $40
GS 10,000 - 14,999 - $55
GS 15,000 - 24,999 - $65
GS 25,000 - $75

Does anyone know of any mouse/keyboard discounts going on? I think I need something more comfortable to play Overwatch.

My Overwatch shipped from Amazon via AMZCA this morning. Didn't know Amazon was doing direct deliveries in the GTA.

Looking at their help page, it says delivery requires someone to be present. So they can't just shove this game case in my mailbox or what? That would suck, since if I'm not home, it's seemingly much more of a hassle with Amazon than with any other carriers who drop their items for pickup at a local Shoppers or something.

They delivered to me once. Nobody was home, and they just left my package in front of my door.

It's yen, also, that other link says 160.99 (I assume USD)

Yeah BigBadToyStore is a US retailer. They're awesome. But things cost more there. But they're they only retailer that I've ever come a cross that actually allows people to pay a couple bucks more to get a "Collector Grade" piece. A MIMB collectors dream.

If you do not care about the origins edition (extra skins, extra cosmetic stuff in other Blizzard game), it is only 40$ USD on Battle.Net store (about 53$ cad).

Well, my 670 just fucking died. It couldn't wait just a month longer for the new cards.
Click to expand...

Dang. Well at least it was now and not a few months ago when you would feel torn about waiting for the new stuff or getting a full priced 900 series card.

You could probably get a used 980 ti pretty damn cheap in the next week or two?

I just hope they put Persona 5 up during E3. I want a PS4 version of Persona 5 for a discount.
Click to expand...

I think Amazon will be the ones to do it first, followed by Bestbuy, assuming they put it up in time. When P5 (PS3) when up the first time, it was at the tail end of the promo. They put it up so close to the end, a good number of us were caught off guard and weren't able to order it extremely cheap.

Are EB Games and Best Buy fairly close in their trade-in prices or is Best Buy better? Looking at the estimator on Best Buy, they have pretty decent trade-in values (at least for the games I'm looking to trade)!

Are milkshakes at McDonald's really four fucking dollars? I went there last night, expecting to hear that they were $1-$2, especially due to Summer Drink Days, but I'm sure she told me $4 over the intercom. I had just brought a couple of dollars worth of change with me when I drove down the road to get the mail and decided to go there, so I said no thanks and went to Harvey's where I got one for $2.10.

Four dollars for a milkshake at a fast food joint can't be right, can it? I checked their site and don't even see shakes listed.

I feel like Best Buy is just really slow to drop trade-in values, I've found they'll give $35 for games for a long time but they don't really have many bonuses or good trade in promotions so once the trade values do drop because the game is around a year old it's better to go to EB.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Y'all need to get on that Nutribullet life. I make smoothies and shakes at home everyday. Throw in some milk and yogurt, banana, mixed berries or any other fruit, and almonds or any other nuts/seeds. Toss a scoop of protein powder and grind in some oatmeal to make the perfect preworkout.

Its fresh, delicious, cheap and so much healthier compared to buying from stores where they load it with sugar and God knows what other chemicals.

I never really go to McDonald's -- or anywhere -- for drinks, outside of Tim Horton's for the odd hot chocolate. I go through waves where I get Timmy's all the time, or where I don't bother for a long while.

A former teacher posted on Facebook about how he had gone to get a milkshake at McDonald's (he posts a ton), and that made me kind of want one. I wanted to go check the mail, didn't feel like walking a mile and decided I'd make driving worthwhile by going the extra couple of minutes to McDonald's. It's been years since I've gotten a shake from there.

I didn't bring my wallet, and my Grandfather had given me some change before he left for fishing (he couldn't find a $20 in his wallet he said. Not sure why he was giving me money. Maybe just for the Hell of it, or because I helped him with his bees the other night). I only grabbed part of it, just enough for something $2 and tax.

Sounds good.

I've liked the smoothies I've had, but whenever I think about how there's yogurt in them it turns my stomach. Yogurt is disgusting.

I'm already fat and survive on energy drinks and pop these days. I'm depressed and hoping for a heart attack so I can hopefully see my Mom again.

You can get it without yogurt. I forgot what other flavors they have. The fruit smoothies are $2, the lemonade is a buck. I think there's some iced capp type thing, forgot to try it out.

Where do you get milkshakes that AREN'T $4? But also, no, milkshakes are not eligible for the McDonalds dollar drink days. Any size pop and small/medium iced coffees are the only drinks you can get for $1.

I remember I used to get Reid's Dairy for $1. Though that was years ago. Don't know if they're still around, as the one I went to closed years back. They also had great blizzards.

Cheapest place to get Overwatch on PS4? And does anyone know what the trade-in value for Black Ops 3 is now?

Thinking of trading that in + Destiny and AC Unity for Overwatch at EB Games. But if I gotta pay another $40-50 on top of that, fuck it.

Those games will probably get you $5 a piece, max. Destiny has been $19 multiple times, and Unity has been even lower (they eve gave Unity away with Syndicate when that first came out.)

I thought about the lemonade, but figured I'd try Harvey's. Good to know you can get the smoothie without yogurt, though.

I used to go to Reid's Dairy a lot. They had $1 and $2 shakes that were amazing. I think something else (another dairy?) took over our Reid's.

I miss that place.

I think Harvey's has $2 milkshakes, or they might be shakes. Can't be certain at the moment.

Yep. Two dollar milkshakes. Got one last night, and it was really good.

First milkshake I'd had in quite some time. It came to $2.10.
