It's funny, you say "some Madoka figure" and I know exactly which you are likely talking about, because there's only one that truly fits the description of HUGE, lol

And yeah, they're right in that box dimensions can be a bitch. I had to pay 4,280 yen (which would be 4,780 now, yikes) on a Master Grade Hi-Nu Gundam model kit before 'cause of how crazy huge its box was, yet the weight is only 1210g, lol.

But all in all, nice! I don't have her, but Cordelia is an excellent looking figure (and since made by GSC/Max Factory, the quality is definitely on point).

I noticed that BestBuy has a promo for trading up to an xbox 1 S as well.

Am i right in that it's 160 trade in + 50 credit? That would make it almost as good as the EB offer last month.

That's what I read.

 

[Crazymoogle]

That's what I read.

From what I understood $160 depends on the value of the system. A 500GB OG is worth I think $110, whereas an elite system probably fetches the full value. Maybe you could make up the difference with the Kinect though.

Im glad I've got one of these preordered at EB. I wanted to take advantage of the Trade 5 for $100 promo, but they couldn't get the system to apply it to this. I ended up trading towards a 2DS, which I've kept sealed and will return on Friday and use the credit towards this.

I've wanted a regular size n3DS for what seems like forever, but I've found the cost of previous bundles to be a bit ridiculous.

Wow, my grandfather cellphone plan on Rogers 6gb went from like 50 dollars in 2012 to 75 now before taxes. This is beyond stupid. Are there any good phone plans here in Vancouver? Rogers is a fraud.

So, bad news PSN people: it looks like Sony is now charging more for digital content on the Canadian Store. As was pointed out in the Rock Band 4 OT, new RB4 songs starting from this week on are priced at $2.99 instead of $1.99. But it's not just Rock Band DLC, compare the US prices of game DLC listed in the PS Blog Store update to the Canadian Store.

New Rainbow Six add on - $6.99 US/$9.79 Canadian
Grow Up - $9.99 US/$13.49 Canadian
LBP3 DLC - $0.99 US/$1.49 Canadian
Gal*Gun DLC - $4.99 US/$6.99 Canadian
7 Days to Die DLC - $1.99 US/$2.99 Canadian

Dark times ahead.

Bound is $26.99 too...wtf?

Well, that's to be expected.

The USD = CAD occurences were just random and were most of the time adjusted no?

Regretting a bit my PSN money hoarding for VR games now. But I'm sure it'll still end up cheaper than in store in most cases anyway.

The same plan for regular customers would be like $130. You have it pretty good.

Bigger, $60 games were usually adjusted because of the exchange rate, but smaller downloadable titles and DLC were typically exempt. It's just now that smaller content is being adjusted.

--

Also, according to the post in the Rock Band 4 OT this only applies to new content, which is why older Rock Band 4 DLC is still $1.99. So older content probably won't go up in price.

And I just noticed the last Arcade Archives release is $10.99 instead of $7.99 like the other ones :/.

The price on Bound seems a bit extreme.

 

[c-murph]

That Tharja though...borderline NSFW.

Are they ever going to reprint Tharja?

 

[Nuckerbockers]

From 16 dollars yesterday (with plus) to 27 dollars today!
Good way to make sure I only buy flash sale stuff from now on I guess.

 

[Sora_N]

Hah I wish.

Also yeah fuck the price on Bound. I'm waiting for a sale.

This sucks, what the heck is $26 for Bound. Grow up is $13.50 too.

Ahhh shit they're raising Vita games now too. It's all over.

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

Did Abzu go up? Can't check since I pre-ordered/bought it.

 

[kevin1025]

Did Abzu go up? Can't check since I pre-ordered/bought it.

Abzu is still $19.99, so that one hasn't gone up (while it's $21.99 on Steam currently). I'm thinking it might be for new things going forward. Or they will slowly go through and do it selectively.

Myself and 5 friends are all on it in Ontario.

I would like to suggest Public Mobile. $38 for 2GB of data but noticed that you have a 5GB tho.

 

[UberTag]

And yet the dollar has actually gone up in value over the past week. Sony Canada just feels like being extortionary. How nice of them!

It's only 90 day cycles. They can increase that any time,

I'd buy it but I just don't have the space for any more big box sets 😔

 

[Dazzler]

I'm paying $55 for a grandfathered 6GB plan on Fido

It's crazy how data allowances keep shrinking and prices keep going up

Fido keep trying to get me off the plan by offering new phones but I'd be an idiot to give it up

 

[BigJonsson]

Any deals on powerbanks? My mobile gaming platform needs more power!

 

[Lexxism]

Yet those guys with 1GB $90/90 days got their plan grandfathered

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Haven't PSN prices remained relatively at par? The dollar isn't going back up so they can't take a hit on the exchange rate forever. I'm surprised PS+ is still $50.

It's because data is the thing everyone wants/needs now.

Back when texting was a big deal, I'm pretty sure the carriers nickel-and-dimed you for everything. I was on prepaid and had to pay for incoming texts unless I got a text bundle, which of course was robbery because texts consume barely any network data. And before that it was talk time.

Now text and talk is "unlimited" at a certain price, making it seem like a great deal when you pay $40 a month for it, along with 100MB of data or something.

 

[doctorcdcs]

Yet those guys with 1GB $90/90 days got their plan grandfathered

I'm one of those guys

 

[firehawk12]

Yeah it's crazy that my 6gb for 70 is a "deal" now. I think the equivalent is like 120 dollars with Bell if I were to get the same plan.

 

[mullet2000]

I still have a Saskatchewan unlimited talk/text/Canada-wide calling + 5 GB of data plan for 65$/mo from Telus, even though I've lived in Toronto for two years now.

There's just little incentive for me to change when the equivalent plan here is like 95$ - 100$/mo. I'd like a 416 number, sure, but it's hard to justify 30 dollars a month for it.

I wonder if I could strong arm them into switching me to a Toronto number while keeping my rate.

 

[Riptwo]

I was paying around $90 for my old City Fido plan w 6GB, but they had me on a 6GB plan where overages were $0.30/MB instead of $0.05 or whatever the current rate is. They refused to swap my 6GB data plan for the better 6GB data plan with proper overage rates, so I switched to Wind.

Now I'm paying $50/mo with 10GB of data and unlimited US roaming. I'm way, way happier!

If it's a Canada wide plan, get a prepaid Toronto number, then port your Toronto number over, that may work (that's how it works for the Koodo 48$ plan anyways)

Purolator is my bane.

I always forget they just OSNR things and drop them at my door.

 

[Rbk_3]

Can't do that on TELUS, only on koodo.

He should switch to the koodo plan. It's the same network, $20 cheaper and he can have a Toronto #

Really can't understand how people who constantly post in a Canada game deals thread are not on this plan. It's so easy to get.

 

[Kyolux]

Oh man, I may need to look into buying a new mouse.

My middle click seems to get more picky on how I press it most of the time.

Had a Naga Hex from 2-3 years ago?

Anyone know what's good nowadays? I don't need as many buttons as I used to. Don't really play mmos and I don't play mobas.

But I want something that's good for games like Overwatch and I don't know what else.

I'd personally recommend the Logitech MX Master. Super comfortable and has just enough buttons in the right places for video editing and gaming.

These plans? No tab for me since I have my own phone btw.

Is the "+1 GB of bonus data" in addition to what they state on this page, or is it included in what they state? Because I'll switch over for that 65$ plan if it's 3GB + 1 GB totaling 4 GB.

I just buy iPhones off contract because it works out cheaper for me in the long term

 

[chrono01]

lol messed around with the shipping since it's calculated now. other costs $177 and EMS at $185

worth it

so yeah chrono and Sora said the box is huge and fuck me I believe it. saw this blog post with some Madoka figure and the box used for delivery is freaking huge

The figure box isn't quite the same size as Ultimate Madoka (thankfully), and (after looking at it again), it's not as big as I thought it was. I mean, it's still larger than usual, but nothing abnormally large. But then, I collect many different figures, so my opinion on what's a large box or not might be somewhat skewed. My absolute largest box would have to to be either Franky - Sailing Again Ver. (One Piece) or Insane Black Rock Shooter. Ultimate Madoka is up there too, most definitely.

Cordelia, from my opinion, is more of a "medium-sized" box, but again, it's based from my personal experiences. I grew conditioned to the size of (some) boxes, getting larger over time, so they don't really surprise me anymore. :/

Uh well this is weird,

On xbox one i just went to go buy the rise of iron expansion and it seems that buying the destiny collection the former dlc and rise of iron is coming up deeply discounted at 29.99 so... if you're still playing destiny on xbox one do that?
