I'm thinking about getting Severed, but it's apart of a separate promotion, if that's something you want to check out.


DEAL

Trails of Cold Steel DLC is on sale, some of it even free.

I wish they would put the bundle on sale as well. My download list is terrible enough without buying each dlc individually.

Looking to pick up 3 tablets for the kids for Christmas. Wanting to go Android I think. Would like 2 gigs of memory and a decent screen and battery life. Any ideas? Are refreshes coming out soon?

Depends on your budget... you could get a 6-pack of amazon fire tablet for like 250$ USD so...

Sony is having an innovators sale

https://store.playstation.com/#!/en...blog:blognav::ps-blog-blog.us.playstation.com

any games on here that you guys can recommend for the vita?

I have olli olli and unfinished sawn, not sure about the other games on here.

Severed is a fantastic title, one of the Vita's best...if you have a capacitive stylus. It's still a great game without one but you'll definitely appreciate the accuracy it provides over one's fingers.

Doki-Doki Universe is charming and unique, if difficult to describe.

If you don't have it on PC and don't care about multiplayer, the Vita port of Don't Starve is a solid alternative that's worth checking out.

Well, we are were considering iPads mini 4 s but thought the cost a bit high.

We want access to app store, Netflix, and kids games. I'd like to stay around 200 CDN each but can go higher if a good unit is out there. We may still go the iPad route. Decent speakers would be a real plus and USB c would be a huge seller for us.

Hmm, thanks for the tip. Might wait for the WiiU/3DS version then.

If you want the App Store you have to get an iPad, and iPad's don't have USB-C ports.

Try this for older refurbished iPad's:

I assume this is an error or something but Armello is 25% off but for some reason it comes out to $11.24 on Xbox One Store in Canada vs $14.99 USD. Seems the normal price is $19.99. Link

When the hell is someone going to accept my money in exchange for a psvr preorder? What a ridiculous problem to have.

I am concerned about mine. Preordered at an EB that closed down. They moved my order to another location close to my place but it comes up in their system under some weird name. There is probably going to be trouble.

I asked a few pages ago but here we go. Anyone know where I can get a PS TV for cheap? I searched Calgary Kijiji and checked Amazon. It's pretty expensive for something that was discontinued.

Ugh. The worst. I had a Guitar Hero II preorder back when the game was crazy popular. My EB didn't close down, but something happened and the SKU changed or something. So I arrive on release day and of course they're sold out and needless to say there isn't a copy for me.

There wasn't anything like your name issue, but basically I had a preorder for $70 or $80 or whatever in their system for essentially nothing. That sucked.

You can find a used one on eBay for ~$60 with Buy Now, probably cheaper if you bid. That's pretty cheap.

Email their customer service. They were excellent helping me out. Same day and they even phoned the store I had the issue with on my behalf.

You're paying an extra $10 for the privilege of having the game permanently accessible on your account without the inconvenience of having to get up and swap discs... or having the burden of having to re-sell the game or loan it out to others afterwards.

Posted this in the game's Kickstarter thread thread but I thought it would be worth letting people in here who may have pre-ordered it know about it: Shantae: Half-Genie Hero's physical release appears to have been delayed.

When Nintendo announced their "Nindies Summer Jam" last week, it had Shantae down for October. I guess that's confirmed now.

Try the 7 days trial first and see if you like it or not.. Dont forget to deactivate the autorenew at the before the end of the trial, tho..

I hear you dude. While I don't purchase alot of DLC, I think I've my fair share of it (by my standards anyway); my Download List is full of games and browsing all those pages just makes me shake my head at how disorganized it all is. Common Sony, revamp the damn website interface. Which reminds me, I still have to buy all the DLC for the Dissidia games.
