Does anyone know the best way to get rid of an OG 60GB PS3? I thought of Kijiji at first, but that's a huge hassle... but EB Games won't give me much for it, right?

I mean if you want to get money for it you'll have to sell it yourself. There will be some people who will want one for the PS2 BC or the parts.

I recently grabbed a mint, modded, 60gb phat ps3 for $100 on kijiji. It may not be worth it to sell it.

If it's the first version that had built in backwards compatibility, it is actually fairly valuable.
I sold mine in Craigslist for $200.

If yours has 4 USB slots it will support backwards compatibility.

I believe this stopped for me when I updated the shipping on my order? (Just hit the "change shipping options" button, keep your existing shipping option selected and hit ok) Amazon will reparse and split up the order as needed based on ship dates.

I actually got emails for this for so long I didn't know it stopped, but it seems to have stopped around when I did that update?

I've never had Amazon send me mail on multiple consecutive days about shipping delays. Maybe it's a glitch associated with one of the games in your orders? I have Mirror's Edge Catalyst PS4 in mine and I'm not getting it, but maybe FF15/KH3/Mankind Divided?

I have the same thing. I've been upgraded to free express shipping too, so I'm afraid of losing it or being charged for it if I mess with the shipping options...

Last time I did something like this all my orders got messed up and ruined my promos.
I do not advise it. Just make a filter in your email to put it in a spam folder.

Now the opposite, EB back out of stock and Toys R Us back in stock.

Speaking of Pokemon, does anyone have a Mew code they could sell me for a couple bucks? I tried getting one but EB Games sucks.

If anyone is interested, EB Games started selling the Pokken Tournament controllers today. I just picked one up but they had two, so be quick just in case.

It won't wreck your upgrade, in my experience. A CS thought upgrading shipping for me would make a 'stuck' item ship, but it didn't. So I updated, it shipped, and now the rest of that infamous email order is set to free next day shipping.

Trying to call Toys 'R Us (30 minutes away) to see if they have a N3DS Pokemon bundle. However, it's been busy for about 10 minutes now.

I also just realized that $239.99 plus tax is $271 effing dollars, so I may not bother.

Alternatively, since you can transfer Pokemon from R/B/Y into the 3DS Pokemon box thing, you could grab a Mew from there or wait a little bit until the functionality is up and get a Mew from someone.

Went to walmart and they apparently have no Vita stock - besides a lone Borderlands 2 Vita. walmart.ca is apparently sold out of memory cards.

Is this a sign I need to swallow my hesitance and just pick up a 32 GB Vita card soon if I want one, or is this mostly just Walmart not supporting the platform?


Really hating this gen lately. All the games I want go out of stock so quickly and my net speed isn't stable for non-handheld digital games. >_>

Is there anywhere to get New 3DS faceplates in Canada? I'm guessing no, and if so, anyone know somewhere I can get them that won't obliterate me with shipping?

Omg. That's crazy expensive. Wait it out until after e3, will have a better idea of NX and backward compatibility.

It's expensive when it's about 1/4 of my monthly income, and because I likely wouldn't use it much given that I have an XL. It'd just free me up to take the XL places with me, because it'd quell my OCD.

Just can't justify it.
