Ordered once (Titanfall), was delivered 1 day late via UPS.
Thanks for the answer. I'll just choose expedited and risk it.
The eBay coupon for $10 off a $50+ purchase is back until 10 pm ET tonight. There are some restrictions and you must check out using PayPal. The coupon code is: "CANADIANDEALS".
I think the EB at Fairview mall has a used one. Goes for $30 something, I think. Give them a call to check.
If you're in Quebec.
Ebox just announced 120 mbps for $69.99 a month for the first year (10 more after that). Unlimited bandwith.
I think they serve part of Ontario too.
Effective October 1st.
I left them a year ago for videotron because I wanted cable tv, but I got rid of the cable tv part in April.
Guess I'm going back.

If anyone's interested : i have an Amazon E3 2015 preorder for Horizon Zero Dawn (PS4) and Last Guardian (PS4). Pre-ordered them planning to eventually buy a PS4, but never got to it. Not too excited about the PS4 Pro and I'll probably keep sticking to PC.
They're both ticked at 71,99 minus 30% - if someone wants to grab them at that price (or one of them) for cost + shipping, send me a PM and we'll work something out. Otherwise, I'll probably end up cancelling the order altogether. I'm in Quebec city.

Yeah, I'd expected with conversion rate of CAD to USD, that about equals it.
Check their facebook page.
It's gonna be official on September 1st.
That's for cable, probably only those that are connected through Videotron's last mile.
edit: Just called and made the switch. They're going to activate it on the 13th. Same day as PS VR! Hopefully won't have any issues with that on that day.
Now I just have to call Vidéotron and tell them I'm transfering on that day.

Long shot but would anyone in the GTA be interested in purchasing a used EVGA GTX 970?

Question for you guys regarding Amazon E3 orders.
i placed a bunch of orders on amazon during e3 and have a bulk of them coming out within the next month..
if i get Amazon Prime free trial for a month can i convert those already ordered from them to ship faster? cause currently the delivery dates seem much after release

Or not? I thought I saw a bunch of reports in prior E3 threads that CSRs wouldn't change orders, but it looks like I was wrong. Sorry!
Correct. You can upgrade the shipping. I've done it in the past too.
Only available in Quebec in regions served by Videotron I believe.
And as I already replied to someone else. It's on Facebook (and maybe their blog) for now.
Cheers, I'll try contacting them tomorrow to see if I can get that specific deal.

LOL. Only took over a week for Amazon to email me the pre-order add-on for SMTIV:A. I mean I'm still playing Cold Steel II so it's not like it really matters, but I just thought it was funny nonetheless.

I was able to convert several 2015 pre orders to prime shipping after getting it in 2016 without issue. Could have just gotten lucky on my first shot though?
Reminds me of the Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter's Edition thing. Super cool and super limited collector's edition, but the contest was only open to US residents. Bunch of us complain in the PlayStation Blog comments, and they give us a contest...with only one Fortune Hunter's Edition available.
Amazon once sent me my beta code for Rainbow Six Siege the day after the full game came out.

Next weeks BB flyer has PS+ for $50 in case some of you wanted to stock up but missed the chance. In store only though.
Time to ask friends or family back home to get me some.
I just got back from Lisbon on Sunday! Highly recommend this hostel if you are travelling yourself or with only a few others: http://www.travellershouse.com/th/home.html

It kind of looks like I was just wrong about not being able to convert orders, I thought I remembered people in previous E3 threads trying and failing, but I actually have no first-hand experience. I shouldn't have sounded like I was so sure about it. My bad, everyone!
That's pretty good- and significantly cheaper than what I did which is renting an actual flat, though the latter serves my needs better.

LOL that's bad.
Everyone flying to my home country and I've yet to visit in over 4 years. School and work have inprisoned me and won't let me go anywhere :'(

Nope but I won't even bother since I already have it physically and through Rare Replay.
As a follow-up.
I had to call Videotron this morning to tell them I'm transferring.
Well.. turns out I'm not.
Didn't think they would make any interesting offers...
But 61.95 for the 120mbps unlimited is too good to pass on. (price is also good for 2 years, instead of just 1 with ebox)

That's...really good. I mean they recently bumped me to 60mbps for free but I do have to pay the 10 bucks for unlimited bandwidth. Does that price require you to have cable TV as well?
holy shit you're right
I live alone and 120mbps unlimited sounds completely unnecessary but it's like ... 8$ more than what i'm currently paying so hey why not
HIGH SPEED HERE I COME
It's the only service I have with them. Just internet. And they included the router rental in the price too.
By comparison, up to now I was paying 77.94 for 30 mbit right now. $5 was from router rental, and 9 from 300 gb bloc.
Bonus is that instead of waiting until the 13th when they were going to make the transfer, I'll have that speed active when I get home from work tonight.
Yeah, for me it was a price reduction to begin with. And videotron made me an even better off if you didn't see above.
If anyone else is considering cancelling their PSVR preorder (the bundle with the wands), PM me first. I recently came into a bit of money and would like to pick one up, but I already cancelled mine. We can figure out a way so that I can pay you and just change the shipping address to me.
I would also be interested in doing this.

Anybody with a pre-ordered PSVR bundle on Amazon Canada, what delivery date does it show for you? are those placeholder dates or am I really getting this thing around October 24?
For me it says Arriving Thu, 13 Oct.
The Omega Man
Member
Really? WTF? I pre-ordered the minute pre-orders went live and mine says arriving between Oct 20 and Oct 24, what a freaking joke.
amazon? I would preorder from BB and get some rewards points, zero incentive to get anything from amazon now honestly beside slow ass shipping.
The Omega Man
Member
You're right, but it's too late now I guess.
I'm with prime though. And I ordered within the first 15 secs.
The Omega Man

I am not with Prime but surely can't take 10 days with standard shipping right? (I'm in Montreal). You think I would have learned my lesson when they shipped PS4s one day after Amazon USA.
BB just announced midnight launch party in the State so maybe they will do it is selected store in Canada, there should be a decent chance of getting one. At this point I would buy everything from local BB to keep the stores alive than the forever downgrading Amazon. There are also london drugs, the source etc, places where people don't normal shop for games.
