No they don't, so why would they care?
The fuck, mine hasn't even entered "preparing shipment" phase.
Same here. Lemme guess - the fuckers are gonna be OOS like Gears.
PS VR didn't even sell out at launch in Canada, I doubt the PS4 Pro is going to do any better here.

i don't even know anyone who bout the VR or have any intrest in it, Pro on the other hand..
Yea them fucks. But I remember Gears 4 got stock on the Sunday before the Tuesday release, so I wouldn't worry if they say this is OOS today and tomorrow. If it's OOS on Thursday as well then I'ma start flipping tables.

Doesn't really seem that too good to be true. You can go to the Us and buy it all taxes in for $2700 Canadian.
If you have perksarwork or know someone who does, you can get it for $1200 us now and with taxes and everything its under 2k Canadian. But you have to have it shipped to the us and pick it up.
You can also order from BH. They ship to Canada.

Edit-I misread that. I thought it was 3350. 2350 is too good to be true.

I wouldn't pay over $2000 for something that's used, unless it was a car or something. Not a TV.
I'd look for a new model of some sort.
I don't know what brand I'll buy, likely Samsung though. I'd prefer to buy another Sharp Aquos, but I don't think they make 4K HDR -- at least not in my price range of $1200-1500.

Sharp is absolute trash now.
If you want top of the line 65" LED it will be close to 4 grand with tax. 65" Oled is over 7 grand with tax.

Really? That's sad.
Why is that?
There are some beautiful looking TVs for $4000, 6000, even 8000. I just can't justify that as much as I'd like one. Let alone $2000.
My TV was $2800, ten years ago. It is a Sharp Aquos and is still going relatively strong with minor issues (some burn in during gaming, sometimes there's no audio and I have to reset it, it makes a whirring noise during cold weather while on black screens, lol).
I want to get a really good future proof TV, but I also don't want to spend a lot, so I think I'm just going to do the best I can at my price point. Truthfully, I don't even want to buy a new TV right now, but I kind of have to.

I mean. That's why I won't buy a 65 inch lol.

You guys should be cool like me and buy a PS4 Pro to use on a 1080p monitor lol
That's exactly how I'll play if I decide to get the Pro. I have a 27" monitor that's currently hooked up to the PS4. The difference in input lag between TV/monitor is nuts.
Shame there are no 4K HDR capable monitors yet.
There was a reddit post about them, seems to be fine, the catch seems to be that there's a "no returns" policy, basically (exchanges in case of defects are fine). So you better be absolutely sure you want to be locked in with that TV model/size.

I think I may wait until the holidays or Boxing Day. I won't be worried about replaying older games with patches for 4K, and there are very few games I want for PS4 this holiday anyways.
I'm getting my shopping done on Black Friday this year, last year's Boxing Day was not so good and I got burned holding out for it.

Depends on the retailer, toys r us has already started asking if you want gift receipts
I don't agree, I think the PS4 Pro will do really well.
It doesn't look like it at the moment at least. It sucks.

I have literally no idea what that is, and I'm already disappointment.
I'm sure it's different store to store. November 1 is when they start trickling in though.
I went to the thread and err... I don't think we're missing much.

What is the issue?
It's supposed to say "preparing shippment" or "being shipped today" if they were to ship it today.

And here I am thinking about my cancelling my order...
101$ for what seems to be another crappy CoD from IW and a remaster of a 9 years old game is a bit too much.
Honestly I'd still pay $100 if that was the price for Modern Warfare alone, it means quite a bit to me, and it's in my top games of all time. They don't make good maps like that anymore, and I dislike the futuristic bullshit. The contemporary setting and map aesthetics are still the best I've ever played.

$100 is a lot but I honesty would have paid $60 CAD for MW seperately if they offered it. Not interested at all in IW since they've implemented P2W microtransactions into the multiplayer.
Yea I'm being put off by that, too, but at the vey least I am excited to try the campaign that had those ex-Naughty Dog guys in charge of narrative and design, and I absolutely love the Spaceland Zombies setting and theme. But yea Modern Warfare will be where I spend 99% of the multiplayer time in this package.
😫😭

I doubt there will be much in terms of deals, even on Black Friday. Best you could hope for is a free game thrown in or something, not a price reduction.
It's a premium/enthusiast SKU so they'll probably keep the price high.
No. Maybe but don't expect any.
At best, you might get a bundle with whatever big game is currently underselling (my money would be on Titanfall or Watch Dogs 2).

sucks the free infinite warfare doesnt apply to the ps pro. does anyone know which canadian retailers are doing this deal?

Has the NES Classic gone up for pre-order ANYWHERE!? I need one!
It baffles me that it launches in just over a week and we've had zero news and it can't be ordered anywhere, insane.
Still nothing, absolutely insane. Going to be madness on launch day if Nintendo doesn't do something here...

Pretty sure that nintendo is not allowing pre-orders(at least for eb games).
Exactly what they want.

Just as planned, then.

Yup, they want headlines saying "sold out" Nintendo does this often, and it's shitty.
