My Canadian friends, I need help in deciding which platform I should get Battlefield 1 on, same goes for Skyrim remaster. I have both major consoles, but for the life of me I can't decide which console to get those games on. Help me sway my decision?

Thanks ;)

Skyrim on Xbox, Battlefield 1 go with friends/controller preference and if you can put up with the 720p image.

Hmm I thought they don't disclose that over the phone? I guess they are more lax now?

I guess it depends on the rep you get a hold of and maybe if they're busy in store. I called in earlier today and she was nice enough to tell me though.

Uncharted 4 is worth $30 plus $9 for the promo. So $39 total which is not bad at all. Ended up paying $35 for Witcher 3 Complete Edition. All smiles.

Ohhh nice. Well I'm not gonna go for the 20x, but I may as well unload some of my hoarded points on this thing. May drag a parent along to get the senior discount on Thursday if I find it in stock.

I just took delivery of a custom suit from Indochino last week. Total cost was $500 and the experience was brilliant

I went into their DT Vancouver showroom about four weeks ago, had my measurements taken over a one hour appointment.

Suit was delivered to my apartment last week, was 99% perfect. Made another appointment with them (included in the price) to assess the fit and make any changes I needed (just wanted the sleeves shortened by half an inch or so, and tightened around the bicep)

Just waiting to get the suit jacket back off them (final alterations take a week)

Very pleasant to deal with

I'm using an off the rack suit right now, fits ok but I think I should just buy a custom one in a few months. So it took 4 weeks for the suit to be ready? You have to order it from their site yourself right? And do you have to pay any duties, etc?

If you care about IPS, check the serial numbers. You'll want 7010 or 7011.

Found a Vita TV at Toys R' Us for $29.99. My friend flipped at the chance to play Project Diva X and Miracle Girls on the big screen and bought it immediately. Pretty good price.

Would exchanging a controller only at EB work or do you have to bring the console as well? The controller that came with my Xbox One S feels a bit off in the right trigger, it feels like there is less resistance when squeezing it.

You just need the controller and the receipt, provided you're within the 30 days.

Just used the month trial of Amazon Prime and ordered a bunch of games. If you get enough the discount makes it cheaper than buying them here.
Click to expand...
You mean from the US, and with the 20% Prime discount? What are the shipping rates and tariffs? And then you gotta pay 2% to your bank for converting CAD to USD right?
Also, says here you have to be a Prime member at both the time of order and time of shipping.

Ah, okay. Thanks.

I'm curious to see Hell or High Water, but don't know if I want to drive 30 minutes each way or just wait.



Such a good game. Don't sleep on it.
Click to expand...

I saw it back on Friday, I loved it! But it's one of those movies that you'll either like or love. Driving 30 minutes each way might be a tough sell, though.

Agents of Shield isn't on Netflix or Hulu anymore :( My library doesn't have it. Any other legal options to get it that isn't $60 a season on Amazon or $30 on itunes? Are Digital Copies a thing for this somewhere?

Random question, Canada GAF: making an cash offer to a poster from kijiji for a very good condition PSP with charger, 4 gb memory card, case, and The 3rd Birthday and GTA Chinatown Wars. What's a fair amount to offer? He wanted to trade for a New 3DS, but 200 sounds pretty high for a PSP and a couple of accessories/games, even if it's all in good condition. The 3rd Birthday also has a pretty wretched reputation, haha. Any suggestions?

All of that together is worth like $70 tops. Screw that guy.

Took two weeks for the suit to arrive initially, then a week for the minor adjustments

They have a showroom in Vancouver so I just went in to them and they took all the measurements for me, but I believe it's all done yourself and input into their site in every other case

No duties at all to be paid


London Drugs also has Sega 3D collection for $25, picked it up yesterday

Trading for a New 3DS is such a ridiculous opening offer that I'd almost not deal with him just on principle.

You're better off just getting a Vita at that point. It runs PSP games really well, and if you can find a gently used OLED model you'll be happy.

Wow, thanks for the enlightening responses, all. Yeah, the New 3DS initial offer seemed really wild but I don't really know the market for PSP stuff, so I wanted to make sure. I'd actually be down to just buy a Vita, but it can't play physical PSP games, and I've already copped a few of those in anticipation of getting one. :/ I'll make this guy an offer of 75 but he'll probably not be interested...good luck to him finding someone to trade him a New 3DS, smh

I still have a PSP as well as a Vita, and honestly I find it hard to go back to the PSP screen. PSP games go on sale fairly often on the PSN as well.

A New 3DS for a PSP is such a preposterous offer I kind of respect that guy

I picked up the Mario 3D Land New 3DS bundle on Friday, been loving it so far, really nice system

The SNES games are overpriced af, though

I paid $40 for a great condition PSP 3000 with comparable inclusions. I've seen them for up to $75, but $200 is insane.
