That xbone deal is insane but now might be the worst possible time to buy a console, with Scorpio and Neo coming

Yes but its a different ballgame. Current console plus 4 solid games, an extra controller, delivered now to your door within 2 days for $350.

Versus what is likely to be $450-$499 for a core system neo in 6 months, or a scorpio in well over a year.

Gotta game now! :)

yeah I know, but the pessimist in me is telling me that it's still a bad idea because I expect that games will run like garbage on this console once scorpio and neo hit... Anyway i'd probably bite on the deal but I just bought another AC so i'll pass

also i'm kinda disappointed in what i'm seeing, waiting for some super secret deal to surface

About to browse deals, wanted to catch up on here first to know what to look for. Nothing I guess.

Rigs and Playstation Worlds are up on Bestbuy and Amazon. $10 difference over the US.

Damn, I'll go digital for these games. At least I'll save on tax. I doubt there'll be much of a used market for VR games.

Yeah, it is. Some mildly interesting deals, but nothing screaming at me that I must get.

Seinfeld complete collection on DVD for $40 though.

You'll also get a laugh for free if you search "Seinfeld" with the Amazon Prime Day filter applied.

Hrm, I ordered an RX480 on Memory Express, since it was one of the few places I checked that didn't seem to show out of stock. But it hasn't shipped yet. Do you think they might have taken my order without having it in stock? My CC was charged right away....

They may have been waiting to see what Canada Post does.

The few times I've ordered from them, shipping was quick and efficient.

I preordered one from a local store weeks ago and they have yet to call me.

I bought a 1070 in that time. Whoops.

Anyone here bought a PC recently?

I want to build something good for gaming, some video editing, and to learn Unreal 4. Anyone want to share their build and where they got it from?

I'm mostly wondering if an RX 480 or GTX 1060 would be enough for Unreal 4 or if I should really invest in a 1080.

It was good on PS4 when I played it recently. It's a great game.

Sale is definitely heating up. Some Amiibo are in there for real cheap as well.

This year's Prime Day deals are faring much better than last year's for me.

Picked up a Sennheiser 598, along with a bunch of clothing.

Xbone controller for PC (wired) is on regular sale for $47.69, Xbone wireless is w. Win 10 adapter is prime day sale for $51.97.

Is there a way to check if you're getting the revised controller?

Also if I'm travelling can I grab anything that lets me plug one thing into another? Or do I have to look for something specific if I'm concerned about voltage? I'm pretty sure the PS3 is dual voltage but I've heard mixed things about the 3DS.

So many people playing Pokemon Go last night in Vancouver

I went out for an hour to catch a few and ran into six people catching zubats at a Pokestop with a lure node attached. Then I walked down to the beach and a bunch of people were trying to catch Charizard in the park

While it's a really simple game, I haven't seen buzz like this about games in a long time, it's awesome

I was curious to try it, so I set up a US iTunes account to download it

I'm picturing actual baseball games trying to pull this off and I'm more amused than I should be.

The fans would be pissed.
