So is there like nowhere to buy Blu-rays in-store nowadays? My local Jumbo Video shut down, and Best Buy sells like 5 movies total now.
what? the best buy near me still has a huge blu-ray selection, unless something's changed in the last couple weeks.
Completely misread.
My closest BB reduced their BRD section considerably in the last few weeks.

I just got an email from ebay saying that the account was compromised and that they removed the listing:
When the email says "contact your payment service used to request a refund", is that through my CC? paypal? ebay's resolution centre? I'm not entirely sure where to go from here (i've never had this sort of issue before.)
HMV is stacked with Blu-rays. As a matter of fact, I heard they are gonna stop carrying DVDs just so they can stock even more Blu-rays.

Same. Since I finalized the order through Paypal I'm just letting them do the whole refund/dispute thing.

Yeah I used their process and it went immediately from a dispute to a claim due to the circumstances surrounding it.
According to RFD, looks like this might have been a scam to get names addresses and emails.

Yeah it was someone who hijacked someone's eBay account and put these cheap games up to get people's info on purpose.
Regardless, this had scam and bullshit written all over it. People really need to look this stuff over before hastily posting it.

Zoomer and Public Mobile have some decent plans if you don't use a lot of data. I find that with Wi-Fi at home, work, and elsewhere I rarely need it most of the time.
Where do I go to open up a claim in Paypal? Is it the resolution centre?

To preface: I'm not looking for unlimited data for $40. But I want at least 2 gigs, or a plan where I don't pay for overages.
I miss Jumbo Video and its popcorn. Plus its deal where you could bring Cineplex ticket stubs and rent two games for the price of one.
They treated me like family there. I was a regular at multiple video stores in town over the years, though.

honestly? you're better off calling them since some people on RFD have said that they were able to get an instant refund that way.
-login
-scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "help and contact"
-click on call us
-call the 1877 number that's listed and note the passcode that the website will issue you under the phone number (will be valid for 60 minutes)
-enter whatever the passcode that it asks for, but when it starts going through the automated questions, I just pressed 0 to speak to someone live.
-speak to the agent regarding the purchase. it should be listed as your most recent completed purchase under the paypal main page after you login and let them know that ebay sent the email regarding the purchase.
I have to wait for a resolution, i assume its because I did an online claim before I called, but like i said, some people on RFD stated that they were able to get instant refunds after talking to a live agent first.
if you still want to do it online, click on the transaction itself on the paypal homepage after logging in, and there should be an option to go to the resolution centre to dispute the transaction.

Mine used to have an entire section for it. Now its one shelf called "New Releases" and then a small shelf for cheap titles.
Maybe...are you a Time Cop?
My local HMV closed a long time ago and got replaced by a Factory Direct.

Why do you keep ignoring people who suggest the $48 5g Koodo plan?

Isn't OCD out in the middle of nowhere or at least in a roaming zone for Wind? That's what I'm assuming anyway lol.
There's on near me that's still open for business. Decent place for used games.

That's what I've been thinking, but they have no iPhones and I'm too cheap to buy a phone. I don't need a top of the line phone or want a used one, and don't want to put out hundreds to actually own the thing from day one.
I'm not in the middle of nowhere, lol.
Whoa. I'm with Koodo now on a shit monthly and I get shit data. I pay like $34/mth for like 100mb. Any one do this?!

This is Manitoba only, no?
Yeah, but there's workaround explained on that forum on how to get even if you are not from MB
So you want a $40/month plan and a $500 subsidy? You're not getting that.
Be happy with a Moto G if you want a good cheap phone, or spend the money on an iPhone.

May just go with an S6 for free.
What carrier? I'm pretty sure the monthly fee for that is $60/70.
There was a Jumbo Video / Microplay combo in Ottawa (Merivale) when I was there, last September. Seems it is now closed. Surprised it lasted this long.

Wind says $0.
5$ for Killzone: Shadow Fall, not a 97 cents deal but pretty close.
Since Killzone has been on sale for $5 in the past month I can definitely see that. Lowest I've personally seen the order digitally was $10, I doubt they'll make the promise of AAA titles every month. Perhaps announce july's games at their conference tho.
I'll be at that conference
maybe ill post pics in this thread if the wifi there is good.Honestly, I don't even care about the big games, the PS+ offerings have been mostly decent for me. I just want them to allow EA to put EA Access on PS4.
Such a great service being denied to PS4 owners. Would really help out as well due to the way the canadian dollar is being. I can't justify spending money on a single sports game, but paying $35 a year for access to various sports titles (that are still the latest entries for at least a few months), battlefield/battlefront, NFS etc and having those early access trails for games that are just about to be released, such a good deal imo.
EA Access is totally worth it! I enjoyed the 10 hour trial of PVZ:GW2 and felt like I got my fill of the game over the course of a few evenings, saved me buying a $80 game. I downloaded the Mirror's Edge 2 trial but E3 prep has led me to not playing it yet sadly. Some of their trials are awesome and some are really short (unraveled)
Also the "free games" - Like NFS 2013 and Titanfall also get a lot of play from me. Nothing like hoping in a mech and killing some people to releave the stress. EA access is totally worth the $40 and I don't even play sports games.
I'll be at that conference
It's been 6 years (wow damn, time flies), but in 2010, there wasn't any provided wifi at either the sony conference nor the E3 showfloor.
Me and the guy I was with were stuck with the crappy hotel wifi in the evening to post stuff.
Hopefully that's no longer the case.
The S6 is $0 upfront, but you have to add the $25 WINDtab boost to your plan every month. You could go with their $35 plan, but you would still be paying $60+tax every month.
no wifi on the showroom floor for the past two years that I've been going. And data is rough since it's so many signals at once causing tons of noise/intereference

Oh, okay. Thanks.
To be honest, I quickly looked at their site and didn't exactly understand how the plans worked. I'm somewhat new to cellphone ownership and plans.
Brutal .. RIP my international data, Good thing my plan rolls over like 3 days before E3 ^_^. When I went back in 2011 the wifi access even in the press lounge was lousy and slow. Uploading video was pretty much impossible
If you need roaming data and your plan doesn't have much, try this? https://www.roammobility.com/
Need an unlocked phone.

Awesome! I had this pre-ordered at Amazon for regular price. Swiftly cancelled that and pre-ordered at Indigo. Thank you so much. Huge savings!
