Do you guys think NX games are going to be $80? If the rumors are true then they will technically be considered as console games.

If it's a handheld hybrid thing I'd be mad if they charged $80 a game
If it's a hybrid thing and they charge $80, their reasoning will be you get a handhel and console game in one, that's why the price is so high. And seeing as how Nintendo has been with pricing. Yeah... expect $80.

Hopefully other pubs vary their prices. I'm planning to pick this thing up as a Vita replacement since all those mid tier Japanese games will probably migrate to NX. I like those games but no way are they worth full console prices.

Can I use visa gift card for xbox one? I can't buy the 360 games on it without a credit card but I seriously do not want to use my own cards on it.
I just found out that some of my BC games are getting a hard time for the system to recognize them and I realized that a few of them went south.

We won't have to worry much. It's a Nintendo system, so it will hardly have any.

No, it's a Nintendo system as in I don't want to buy an $80 pokemon game 4 YEARS after it was released :[
What did you upgrade from, video card-wise? That's a mighty card!

GAF BST forums are great. Just be clear where you can ship and only deal with people who have good feedback.
The way our dollar is right now you can get a really decent amount even after shipping costs.
Anyone know how exchanging a console bundle that came with digital games works at EB? My Xbox One S behaved fine until tonight when after 30 minutes of FH2 the fan went full blast for five seconds and turned itself off. I might need to do an exchange but I already used the Halo MCC digital code. I still got the Halo 5 disc so I can add that back in.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
You jest! Theyre merging their development pipelines so it'll have TWICE as many games. Count it folks, two times as many. I wish I was making this up but I'm not.
Whats a Canadian's favorite drink? A double double of course. What else is double? NX first party software. Irrefutable proof that the NX will be a smash hit in Canada.
Nintendo hire me now
Upgraded from an AMD Radeon 7950.
For a minute I had to check and make sure I wasn't actually in the NX thread of sanity.
Unfortunately it will be 80 because Nintendo is consistenly out of there minds.

If you're playing 1080p then a gtx 1060 or rx 480 would be solid budget conscious cards
If you willing to spend that bread tho then a 1070 would be much better.
Mainly for overwatch? The first two cards are more than enough
I just picked up a Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB for $379.99 and I really recommend it (not the manufacturer specifically, but the GTX 1060 in general). At 1080p Ultra settings I was able to get a solid 60FPS in games like Overwatch and the Battlefield 1 beta. Great for going back to older games as well.

Anyone have NHL preordered on best buy and have it shipped/card charged? Usually they ship out Friday before game for me but mine hasn't has "free shipping arrive as early as Sept 30".
I'd still love a Canada only version of it, though.
Does anyone know about the website Toronto Electronics: http://www.torontoelectronics.ca/
Is it legit?
Is it legit?
There's no physical address in the contact information. The only point of contact is a yahoo.ca email address.
I feel dirty even having it in my browser history.

Site looks pretty shady to me. I'd say stay away
Lmao, this is pretty accurate.
I wouldn't trust that site even with a stolen credit card
Not too sure, actually. The 1060 might run into a bottleneck earlier on because it only has 6GB of VRAM compared to the RX 480's 8GB.

Yeah, from my experience the Forza games barring 5 were always expensive even long after launch.
There are a stack of FH2 at the MS store near me, I hope when FH3 launches those can get a sale, it's sitting at $50 right now
This kind of thing has never caused a major problem in the history of ever. By the time that 2gig would be an issue either card would need an upgrade anyway.
The problem is I'm mostly interested in playing on PC, otherwise I would've jumped on the E3 deal.

I've been buying Xbox Live cards off Ebay whenever they do one of those $15USD off $75USD coupons (so roughly $20 off $100 CAD). Or rather, I did this once, because beyond Horizon 3 I actually can't think of too many Xbox/Win10 exclusive games I want soon besides Recore, and that one I'm taking the risk with my E3 pre-order because it's almost 50% off at this point. But anyways.
Considering there's no sale on the digital price anyways, if you don't have to have Horizon 3 day one, you may as well wait to see if Ebay does another promo soon; they seem to come around at least every couple of months, and during the summer they did two within weeks of each other and a third not long after.
EDIT: Oh, except Ebay might have finally cracked down on the gift card loophole? Not sure, I think the last sale there might have been some issues with buying from the giftcardstore Ebay seller. The Microsoft Store could still do a promo on credit, though; they had a "buy $50 get $20" promo earlier this year, I think.
Best thing to do is use PC Part Picker
Search for the cards, you can choose specific models as well, and you'll find the prices from all the retailers carrying them. It's great.
The Rx 280 and the GTX 1070 are two different classes of GPUs at two very different prices. If you're looking at midrange then you're looking at a Rx 280 vs a 1060. If you're looking at higher end you need to look at the 1070 vs Fury X. Past that is the 1080 and Titan X (Pascal) to which AMD isn't releasing a card in this class. Their higher end Vega stuff won't drop until the first half of 2017.
If you want something cheaper than the 480 or 1060, I'd recommend taking a look at the Rx 470.
edit: FWIW the Fury X can be had for $520 CAD from newegg.ca whilst most 1070s are in the $575-$650 range.
Fair enough, I had only mentioned it because I thought I had heard Digital Foundry mention it as a possible drawback in the future.
For how meticulous they are, sure. But the general user? Unnoticable differences.

Do you guys do PC part recommendations?
I'm building my first PC build (i'm currently using a 3 year old laptop that has 3GB of a 770m in it and an i7 processor, fun times) and I'm just trying to choose a video card that's no more than 500$ish dollars canadian, but the lower the better. I'm trying to be able to do 1080p at high/max settings at 60fps hopefully for the next 3-4 years.
I'm trying to choose between a GTX 1060 and an RX 480. They both fall into my price range, but they each have their own issues. The RX 480 seems to get loud and hot (I've seen reviews where it goes and stays over 80c) very fast, but it's cheaper and it works better with certain games. Meanwhile, the GTX 1060 is more expensive, but it's quieter, runs cooler, and is better than the RX 480 in most games that I've seen. The main downside with it is the increased price and the fact that it doesn't support SLI.
Any tips? Suggestions? Please?

You can get a Fury X for $520 iirc from Newegg.ca or if that's too much go for a 480 if you can get one with 2+ fans on it. Don't go for reference designs. To be frank, between the 480 and 1060, go for whichever is cheaper but just ensure you're not buying one with a reference cooler.

MM! The Fury X sounds good, but is it a limited time offer? With my finances I might have to purchase this next month and at the latest on Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
I think so, I don't know when the offer ends though. You could always see if it's possible to contact newegg cs/ support or just add it to a price watch. IIRC, PCParkpicker should let you add items to a price-watch too.
If only I had your foresight. I'm deep into the Trails games at the moment so I don't need to get Forza day one. I can wait a bit for a deal to come around. This is just the first game that's come out since the price bump that I haven't been able to pre-order cheaply and I've still thought "...maybe."
