my amazon order says it's scheduled to ship later today.
So I'm thinking about signing up to Prime. Does anyone know if:
-That 20% discount on games is retroactive? (apply to orders where I already get 20% off) and is it automatic or do I need to contact support?
-My wife is a full-time student, do you think I can sign up using her .student email? (any issues with this?)

pokemon giveaway at toys r us
This doesn't look like a 2016 promo lol.
Well Nintendo has been going all in on the nostalgia bait for the 20th anniversary, makes sense retailers would do the same.
Is this something they do for new video games only? I ordered a new board game last month with free shipping and it was sent the next day.

shit i need that charmander
The 20% discount is meant to be non-stackable with other promos.
Got an email from EB:
Get $210 towards a PS4 Pro when you trade a PS4 or XB1. That's probably more than I expected to get, I don't know if I want to brave the world of Kijiji and try and get $250 out of someone.
Edit: Also they're having some $2 used game sale but I didn't look into it cause none of the titles looked interesting.

Yeah, received that email too but when I clicked the link I don't see the PS4 Pro offer.

If that's real, I'll do it.
huh, that's interesting. I may get a Pro then. I wonder if I'd get anything for my extra, fat PS3 that I baked to repair a year or two ago. (if it still works)
Also, I'll have to back up my save files again (the rest I'm redownloading, yay unlimited internet) and switch out my hybrid drive to put it in the pro.
They also have the level up promo where you can get an extra 10% credit. That's an extra $21 if you can stack it.
Hmm, same for me. I live walking distance from one so I'll swing by on my way home from work to see what's up if there's no answer by the time I leave.
Nice. I've got $50 down on a PS4 Pro already, I was expecting $150 tops tradein for my PS4, happy to hear it'll be even more.

So 354$ after tax for a Pro for Ontario folk.
Hmmmm...debating it. I still want to see how much of a difference it makes for 1080p players. If most devs just opt for downsampling I'm not sure that's enough for me. If games like FFXV run poorly on regular but not on Pro, that's a different story.

Sorta re-sell deal if people care.
https://www.ebgames.ca/PS Vita/Games/312371/madden-nfl-13
they're selling it for $2.99 and it's selling on ebay between 15-30 US. Easy way to make some store credit at some retro stores.
In-store only since online is OOS

When I traded my PS3 to PS4 in 2013, the credit was deducted before taxes. If it still the same, you are looking at 289.99 before taxes. Plus the 10% credit if it is stackable.
why is it selling for so much of eBay? I have a copy of it somewhere
Not sure, it looks sort of like a Halloween promo so it might be this weekend only. I'll ask today and find out.
Wait, how did you get $354?
I have ($499 - $210) * 1.13 = 326.57
And then probably +~$5 for the Environmental fee unless consoles are classified as something big.

No idea, Maybe last nfl game on the vita?
Edit - Looking more into it maybe it's the only NFL game on the vita.

Good point! Definitely helps make it more appealing.
I deducted it after taxes on the regular price. You both are probably correct about it.
He applied the credit after tax.
Madden NFL 13 Vita being $2.99 is apparently part of a recycled promotion going on at EB. Bunch of recycled PS3, 360, Vita, Wii, Wii U and DS titles for super cheap, like Bulletstorm for 95 cents. https://www.ebgames.ca/games for two dollars/
In the US too -.- It's $1800 USD ($2400 CAD) now for the base 13" touch bar one. Surface Book starts at like $3100 though. Laptops...
Uhhh, wow, won't be updating my current MBP anytime soon...

Anyone order wave 1 of the Mechs and Minions board game into Canada?
Mine arrived today, but also a refund of about 20 bucks as well, basically the "tax and duty" part of the bill. No complaints here! I asked around other folks I know who got in on Wave 2 and they haven't been refunded. Anyone in on wave 1?

lol it's so silly, because these prices are outrageous even by Apple standards
How long does this promo last? Because I want to pick up my pro first and transfer all my stuffs over to the new system before I trade in my old one. I don't have an extra hdd to spare.
Your paying for the name and all the stupid shit it pulls, which its hardcore consumers will accept regardless.
Mines waiting at the post office going to pick er up after work, was the refund in the package or did it get submitted to your card?
Hope you enjoy it!
Does the backup utility work? (I basically want to keep PT)
I mean, I couldn't tell you if it'll work there but in my case I borrowed a friend's PS4 to play Bloodborne on my account. Then I moved everything to my USB before giving it back and now it's sitting in a HDD. I think it just lets you re-install the game when you bring over the USB drive and copy the contents to system storage.
I mean, a few yesrs ago it was decent. The newest refresh of a 13" base MacBook Pro could be had at $1300-$1400. Now it's fucking $1000 more, are they fucking stupid?
This shit won't sell, their financials will tank even further. Then they gonna come up with some stupid shit like "no one buys laptops anymore, everyone likes tablets". Like no fucking shit we buy tablets instead when your fucking laptops start at $2000.

Seriously, those prices are nuts. Nearly a 1000$ for a phone(no contract) and 2400$ for a laptop? No wonder apple's sales are down
