Am I missing something? What company is actually offering this?
The company offering this is Public Mobile. They are subsidiary of Telus. It's a self-serve company.
4GB over 3 months? Ehhhh
12GB in 3 months. Or 4GB/month like I said.
Ah, makes sense. Sounds like a good deal then.

The current S model will still be the 'defacto' xbox One in a year, coexisting with the 'premium' Scorpio model. If you don't otherwise have the xbox one( the vanilla model), why deny yourself a year of xbox play for a console that hasn't been revealed yet in terms of price and availability? If you're still interested in Scorpio in a years time, there will be probably be trade-in programs for the S model.
I'm wanting to upgrade as well but plan to hold out until Black Friday and if that sucks, then Boxing Day.
It's just that there's already a very well established game with TF2 as an acronym

Wait, I just signed up with them in September, on their 2GB/M plan. I wonder if I can upgrade?
Edit: To answer my own question, yes! Super easy to do as well.
Whelp. I gotta figure out if I wanna give up US Roaming to switch to LTE... Wind speeds are such trash 
Every time I see TF2 I think the same thing. I still refer to Team Fortress 2 all the time especially with Overwatch out. Titanfall is just another flavour of the month shooter among most people I know so it's never the first thing I think of.

You can. Just login, go to the plan picker from your account settings, and remember to pick:
Provincial call
International text
12 GB data
Fall 2016 promo
click "change your plan on next renewal date"
I'm on the grandfathered 1gb plan, so while I like the fact that I can finally access the internet for a cheapish price, having to cap it to 300mb per month sucked. I'll think it over and decide later.

Also, if anyone is interested, the Limited Edition version of World of Final Fantasy is back in stock at Amazon.ca. Looks like pre-order savings still apply too

Yeah. I just saw this on RFD and I'm finally hopping onto a paid plan with this. Been rocking 250MB for $15 per month and a Pay As You Go plan for years.
Yeah, and you can lower it to $38/month because of autopay. Probably the best offer in GTA.

Mew was cute(and a few others) but now it's getting ridiculous...
Self-service. No physical store. No phone customer service. Use their community for help.
Yes. As long as you are a PM customer and doesn't change your plan.

I'm really looking forward to Titanfall 2 now. It's out Friday, right?
Gotta' beat Battlefield before then.

I don't get it.
4Gb bring your own phone is 65 with bell, this is $15 cheaper PER MONTH... It looks way too good to be true i'm real confused right now
I think I found out why that plan is $15 more expensive per month over Public Mobile.
fuck bell
That's what I said when I first signed with them. It has been a year now and never had any issues. The catch is what I said. It's a self-service. No physical store to visit. No number to call if there's a problem. You are on your own. You will use their community for help.

I know, but i'm on my fathers bill and he works there. Even with the 35% rebate, it's still more than that deal, it doesn't make much sense... and you know, whenever something looks too good to be true...
alright well thanks for the advice, i'll keep that in mind.
Again the double plot twist is : my new job pays up to 65 a month for my phone contract so I could just go balls out and buy whatever the fuck I want
Yes. They are basically using Telus or Bell network depending where you are.
Here's the data speed. I'm currently at Midtown Toronto.

WIND has been my only carrier, I'm on the Holiday Miracle plan of theirs from when they started. 5gb unthrottled, unlimited North America talk, global text, voicemail, callerID, the works. But, reception is starting to get on my nerves now, and LTE won't begin rolling out until next year.
That Public Mobile deal has me lose a little bit of data...But at least I'd be able to USE it at a humane and acceptable speed.
I dunno if I should just stay a little longer until WIND gets their shit together, or jump ship on that Public Mobile deal. The self-service definitely worries me, since Wind customer service has been VERY good to me.

I'm in for the long haul now. Started with Mew and spiralled from there. Thankful there is only one more after this one...
Yes.

and here's the news article about the 'free' upgrade.

well... I just pulled the trigger and bought a 4k HDR TV. Upgrading my 8 year old 32 inch TV in the bedroom.
Ordered the Vizio P50-C1 from Costco. I have been gaming on a 40+ms tv for a while now, and haven't really noticed anything. Don't play many multiplayer modes, usually just single player games on consoles. While the lag is around 60ms in HDR right now, they've said the next update will bring it down to around 45. (And anyways, if I get serious about a multiplayer game, I'll probably forgo the HDR for that mode/game and play on the input that has 19ms lag.
Usually don't do returns and what not, but if I do find the lag to be too much or something, or certain features just aren't seeming up to par, Costco has a nice 90 day return policy/period so this doesn't feel risky at all to me.
Also, Black Friday is within 30 days so if there's a sale, I can get the price adjusted. It's currently $90 off anyways and this TV hasn't really gone on sale much if at all.
But yeah, if this TV doesn't work out for some reason, I'll likely wait for next year's models.

Yes, they are. That's why the network is great. It's pretty much a Telus without the expensive plan.

Knack in 4K...

Just bought on CDkeys for 10$ for Steam of course.

Thanks for the update
Eh, I have poutine down here (LA). I need something different.
Try checking bestbuy if they still have the 1yr PS+ for 49.99
It's incredible that, despite all my best efforts, I have been unable to acquire World of Final Fantasy for Vita today (digital or physical). Everywhere is sold out of physical copies, and PSN is bugging out hard on the digital version and I can't buy it.
PSN might be the worst online storefront I deal with, it's just riddled with bug after bug.

I'm sticking with Wind out of principle (don't want to give money to the big 3 if I can avoid it), but that Public Mobile deal is somewhat tempting. I'm tired of the 3G symbol on my phone basically meaning "no connection."
