Where can I check this?
If it's a phone from North America and either unlocked or locked to Telus/Koodo it will work.
You're using an iphone right? Did you do a 2-year contract? If yes, then yeah it is locked.

Two iPhones off contract. Looks like both are good according to Public Mobile. One needs to be unlocked so I will just pay Bell.
Looks like I am going to pull the trigger on this.
I'm not really sure how off-contract phones work if bought through carrier. Just make sure the phone is locked when you port.
Also, they have an active community staff that will help with your problem. They are available from:

Here's a scan of the back of the Pokemon Collector's Album for anyone who may have missed it, showing the next promo on November 19th:

Well, the phone will still be on contract with Bell but it will just be unlocked so it can be used by a Public/Mobile Telus sim card. I won't cancel my service with Bell. I will just initiate the port with Public Mobile.
I have a couple of days anyway as I still want the actual sim cards in hand before I initiate the port to Public Mobile.
You would need the Sim card to activate an account/service on Public Mobile.

now that CETA is signed, does this means no custom tax from CDN?

This cell phone talk is great timing for me... maybe someone can help me out. So my parents need a new phone and the rogers time is done. I'm looking for a cheap plan with text and data and I guess public mobile is the one? However it the phone I wanted to ask about... 199 cad or less, newest android I can get in that price range so netflix and chromecast works, and with a respectable camera. SD slot also is a borderline requirement because most of these budget phones are 4gb. Cpu and screen I'll take the best I can get, but I'm expecting slow and 720p. Any recommendations?
A bit more but a quick look at RFD brought up this sale: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16875705039
Maybe look at one of the Xiaomi phone, or a One Plus.
You are funny man
Sweet, I have a day off that day and can go get the second part for my kids.
Mine was instant.
what, is it basically replacing the entire game?
No the two combine to 90 GB, and only one disc in the case cos, you know, poor Activision can't afford a second disc.

Are there customs taxes from goods imported from the US or Mexico to Canada just because of NAFTA?
Of course there are, CETA is no different.

Anyone know if the Crash-edition of Skylanders is limited? Or is there a good chance it will be on sale on Black Friday or Boxing Day?

Wow, that is weird. I don't have Prime and the estimate for me was November 4-10, but it is arriving today.
I'm fairly sure Sony and Microsoft don't allow multi-disc games on their respective current consoles.

Thanks for the heads up about the EB Games PS4 Pro trade-in offer. Pre-ordered with them today and cancelled my original Amazon pre-order. Feels good.
how much does the position pay?
is it seasonal (just for the holidays) or are you full time?

If this is you, please email employment@nocl.nintendo.com (please start your subject line with the city you are interested in working) your resume and cover letter to us before October 10th. In your cover letter, be sure to tell us your great experiences with Nintendo games!
Guess you are too late

How much does EB games give for PS3s? (Slim model, not super slim)

You would have to call them

Pretty much, yeah. This position is seasonal but there are employees who do it all year round.
$13 is my hourly rate, plus a bunch of swag and what other little benefits they may throw our way. Not the best but the hours are nice and talking about Nintendo games all day is about as natural as it comes.

I'd say no more than 40$...
Most retailers are still selling at the old pricepoint.

Sold my PS4 Launch Unit with 1 Controller, Vertical Stand and 5 Games for $340 on Kijiji.
It took like 2 hours after my posting.
Don't get ripped off by EB Games until you try a private sale. The games weren't even new it was the likes of Battlefield 4 and early gen stuff.

Alternatively, no one is biting at all in Greater Vancouver in 3 days.

Damn.
I always try to sell privately before doing any EB Games deals. I feel bad for those who can't sell, at least the EB deal isn't too bad.
Well sure, but this is two separate games and not one game. There's already precedent in Bioshock Collection.

Greater Vancouver is really bad for local sales. Most of the emails I get are lowballers, have a questionable name and/or English, or flake.
The alternative, however, is to get raked over the coals by Canada Post shipping and eBay fees.

It was sent out in their weekly email last week unfortunately I dont see it listed on their weekly ad or promos page.
Reminder that EBGames will have the Genesect download cards starting tomorrow in-store. These seem to go fast where I live...

completely agree with this. Selling anything in Vancouver is a disaster
So many people seem to have the most limited grasp of English imaginable
I couldn't find a source online, but I went to an EB in Calgary and the deal was active. Traded in a launch Xbox One for $210, and then got the trade five games for $100 promo added as a separate transaction.
One of the employees didn't know about the deal, but the other had read about through a printed out staff newsletter. It might take some asking around, but it's definitely a thing.
