yikes.. so same as me.
Here's a link for both items... for the PSN cards (physical and electronic code)...
http://www.staples.ca/en/PlayStation-Network-Card-50/product_1667095_2-CA_1_20001

As you can see, the physical PSN card are considered as PS4 accessories while the electronic code PSN card are considered as Gift card. This is utter BS.

Just an FYI, Staples didn't even send me a shipping email. I received a MyUPS alert and that I would have a package from Solutions2Go (They handle the PSN Cards) by 3:00pm today.
If they don't want the code to apply they need to fix their website and stop penalizing customers.

Yes its the D series.
They will like what happened with the psn digital codes.

The $20 one seems to be gone.
They still haven't fixed the physical card, hence why they are legally bound to honor their own conditions on their own websites.
Jumped on this yesterday. Flights home to Ireland for Christmas (YVR -> CDG -> DUB) for $450 return
Literally half the lowest price I've ever paid for these flights. Insane deal
Rad. I'm gonna go to Costco later today and check it out.

Yeah they already said they were working with alternate carriers until the strike resolves.
eBay on the other hand I believe was telling sellers to just "sell anyway" and notify buyers afterward

^ Yeah, we get 100% of our amazon packages with CP. The one due for shipment today is with UPS. I'm glad they're working around the looming strike.

Goddammit. I knew this would happen once more people figured it out.
That's so weird. My ZTD from Amazon is coming via Canada Post today.

So for those who can't wait, Zero Time Dilemma is up on PSN now for $39.99. The Amazon E3 deal put the game around $35 with HST (44.99 - 13.49 or 30% off). Basically a $5 discount compared to the digital version. Cancelled my Amazon one and went digital. Off to the spoiler bunker now.

I've had games arrive from UPS and Canada Post from Amazon in the past. Lately I've had some items (not games) arrive from Purolator as well, which could be the start of a transition away from CP for now.

So my copy of TMS SE came in today, but the box was all damaged. I ordered this from Amazon US and am looking to get it replaced. Do they have the chat thing same as Canada? I don't see it.
Edit: Nvm, found it through google search.
Edit 2: Bleh, they're sold out, so the best they could do was offer me a 30% discount. I guess that makes the price somewhat easier to swallow, but I was really hoping to have a mint copy of this since I have a regular copy from FS.

Oh man, I didnt even think about the date range on this deal. I had already ruled it out due to work/school conflicts, did not occur to book for winter/spring break further down the line. Ok, lets try this again.
LTTP? Not really a deal but it seems like Vizio is finally starting to sell their P-Series TV in Canada.

Huh, browsed through anyway to see if anything I wanted is or is going to be on sale.
Does anyone know how Broken Age for Vita performs? I'm kind of leery of cross-ported games since playing TTG series on Vita and being... disappointed in their performance. In general Vita ports are kind of substandard, unfortunately.
Also still haven't played Neptunia 1 but I guess I will get 2... sigh.

The flights to Europe should be cheaper from Toronto since it's closer.
Domestic flights are ridiculous. During that LA price error a few months back, it was $65 round trip: the base fare was $0, and you only paid taxes and fees. Guess what? Almost all of it was for the outbound flight from Vancouver. You could've flown one way from LA to Vancouver for like $3.
I really hope the federal government starts regulating this stuff. Get some more competition and lower the taxes and fees.
Then again when the distance from Vancouver to Toronto is twice the distance from Spain to Italy, it makes the prices look somewhat more reasonable.
Make sure you get a shipping label from Canada. I did a replacement for an Amazon US item but the label only worked at a US UPS.
so montreal-poland or montreal-ireland is like $300 less than Montreal-Vancouver...
¯\_(ツ

nooooo fuck, ZTD just arrived. wasn't expecting it for another three hours. wanted to keep playing TMS
ah man I got the same order from Amazon US coming in. hoping it's not damaged. ETA is July 8th tho lol. it just left New Jersey -_-;
Really tempted by Rebirth 1, 2, and Tales of Hearts R since they are like.. $40+ retail. But my memory card is lacking badly.
Are there any "dangers" or "things I need to know" before purchasing a vita memory card from Japan? Everytime there has been a sale - or anything - I've never had the spare cash. May have to find a cheap import somewhere since I'm looking for 32 GB for convenience.

What's so special about them?
The 8800GT of 4k TVs if it makes any sense.
The 2016 Vizio P series have been well regarded for delivery great picture quality for its price.

Fiiiinally. One of these shall be mine!
Do you guys have any recommendations on TVs? I'm not looking for something super high-end (broke university student budget) but I want something bigger than my 22" monitor to game on. I don't need any smart TV features or anything like that, just 1080p with minimal input delay without breaking the bank.

Man I had never had an issue prior with purolator but they left a sticker on my door saying they "attempted delivery at 9:29 am" well I was home you nerd and you didn't knock on either of our two rather loud doors. So thanks I guess?
Well shit. Seems PS Vita Memory Cards are pretty much completely sold out everywhere I look. Looks like I am "forced" to shell out $90 for a 32 GB card before they become "rare" and some asshat starts selling them for hundreds.
Before I do so; Anyone know of any places that are maybe doing a sale on them? Previously everytime they were on sale I didn't have much spare money so it was hard to justify.

Don't specifically look for cards look for used vitas. check your local fb groups for an electronics sales group and kijiji. I see vitas with 16-32 gb cards sell for anywhere from 100-140. if you message a seller you may be able to snag just the card for cheap and if not can always sell the vita with like a 4gb card and get like 75 back

Maybe consider ordering a 64gb card from Japan? It will probably be more expensive but you will have double the space.

What's my best option for something cheap to watch Netflix on? A friend gave me her account details and my laptop is too old to stream HD video.

how much you want to spend?
User 479360

As little as possible. I'm also going to have to buy an HDMI splitter.
A friend's brother works at the dump, and he finds laptops there. My friend then reformats them and cleans them up, and says that I could get one from him for a bottle of rye. Apparently they're strong enough to stream Netflix.
Why don't you use your console?

Well now I'm paranoid about whoever Amazon.ca is using now. Wondering if there was a way to have the delivery be signed for at the door.
I heard two light knocks on my door, ran straight for it, package was just on the floor with no delivery person. I hate the idea that someone could have just walked by and taken it in an apartment building if I needed to be out today. For the sake of my sanity, I would have preferred the Canada Post "two hours later, but safely in my mailbox" or even the Purolator "fake a delivery attempt, pick it up five hours later from the post office."

I'm trying to talk myself into it.
I want to watch Netflix upstairs on a family TV, and all of my stuff is in the basement. My OCD prevents me from bringing stuff up from my clean room to where the cats are and putting it on the floor.
I may end up doing that with an older system. It's too bad the Wii can only do 480p.
