Thanks!
Did you trade in any games? Their website is a bit confusing, it lists like a billion different promotions (and I dunno which ones need some paid membership).

Just the XB1 games
- Titanfall 1
- Sunset Overdrive
- Rare Replay
- PES Soccer 2015
Only rare was bumped up. Titanfall was worth like $3 and for some reason PES 2015 was worth about 15 lol
I had honestly forgotten about the game bump up and was in a huge rush, I had at least 3 PS4 games that would have qualified.
Ultimately trading in my Ps4, XB1 and the games above ended with the PsPro and a $3 credit

It still says on the website that it is 75% extra, there's no way that wording could be confused for edge points, it only applied to ps4 and xbox one games though, is that what you traded in? I would defiantly go fight that, I actually lost the reciept, sorry! but the website is very clear so I think it would be a pretty easy fight espically if you escalate it as an Onyx Member, fill out the survey and have them contact you.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
There are 3 promos you should be aware of if you want a PS4 Pro
1) $210 for your old PS4
2) $50 off Pro if you trade a system towards it
3) Trade upto 5 games for $100 off ($20 per game as long as the tradein value is over $8)
So of youre just trading your old PS4 you get $260 off and if you trade 5 eligible games you get another $100 for that.
I just picked up my Pro and will go back tomrw to do the trade. Doing the data transfer now and its gonna take 4 hours fml it Saturday night I wanted to play some games
Lol. RIP STC arcade and $2 theatre
Maybe I'll trade towards a pro but I don't even use my ps4.

I was about to open the PS4 Pro that I forgot to cancel from Bestbuy. I wanted to do the transfer and then trade in my old PS4 for the Pro at EB and then return that one to Bestbuy. However, I just remembered that the serial number is written on the receipt...
I brought it in when I was making the trade and the lady told me I could keep it.

You know that it's a piece of crap when...
I'm glad I decided to keep my HDMI cable. I use it for an older system, and it works well.
I've had a laptop hooked up to an old TV for years, and was just using a cheap HDMI cable (an ugly one with black and yellow on it that my friend got a ton of from Princess Auto Parts, which mostly sells shit), so I grabbed it and threw it in the box.
My friend works at an ISP, though, and got me three long and relatively well shielded ones from work recently, so I'll disinfect those and maybe use them if need be. I still use a Monster one for my PS, because I was dumb enough to fall for them years ago.

Anyone know when the 50 additional ends? I went to try a trade and was told no lower mainland store has it in Stock for ebgames.
You don't need to be an Edge cardholder, if that's what you're asking about. I did it today without the card/membership and got every promotion we've been discussing.
I even asked if they thought joining would make the PS4P cheaper, in any way, after all my trades and they said no.
Needs me some of these, looks like I may have to make a trip to my local EB, thanks for the head's up

only had one at my store, which I bought. Needs to get a screwdriver to take off the plastic tab that doubles as the Wii strap holder.

Is it possible to pre-order the $139.99 black N3DS that will be on sale on the 25th?
Most likely no. It's a Black Friday release.
Hey guys, I'm not too knowledge-able about the current laptop market.
But my gf is looking for one. She wants to be able to watch movies on it, do some photoshop and some video editing. What are good options? She has her desktop at home for games. She mostly wants to be able to do her work when she spends a few days at my place and once in a while elsewhere.
Oh and she doesn't want a macbook, since she wants to easily move things from her laptop to her windows pc.

Either this or an i3/m3 Surface.
An i3 for photoshop and video editing sounds kind of underpowered TBH. Unless it's super light stuff, I probably wouldn't go below an i5.
Yep, traded Driveclub and Street Fighter V for PS4, and Evil Within and Gears 4 for Xbox. I only received the usual 15%, plus a bit more for Trade More Get More or something. Nowhere near what I had worked out prior to going in.
EB's system is supposed to manage promotions automatically but it does such a horrific job at it. Or maybe the associates are doing something wrong?
I realized I got shafted trading in a few games towards the Pro the other day. Traded in 5 game, 4 of which were $8+ and should've been bumped to $20 and 1 was under so just regular value. Instead of the bump to $20, looks like only the "Trade More, Get More" got applied to the 5 games instead. So instead of about $84, I only got about $67 from the games.
Don't think it's even worth going back to see if they can adjust it now.

I was at EB and this guy was telling these people buying a PS4 that they would get a free game because of a promo. As they were about to cash out he was like "ooops, you don't get a free game, the promo is over"
It's completely different.
Where as the PS4 OG is more akin to a laptop cable, the PS4 Pro is more like a desktop power cable (yet still only two prong).
Ugh dammit

XPS 13 is a no brainer. Amazing build quality, keyboard and trackpad. On par with MacBook. Screen is on next level. Little expensive, but well worth the price. Make sure to get the version with latest intel chip.

Anyone know where i can find Overwatch for cheap
Yeah, their system is actually supposed to apply whatever promo gets you the most credit. Seems it used to do that, but now that they have so many concurrent promos, it seems broken.

Really happy they're doing a midnight release but after standing in line for destiny for 8 hours only to be told to move because 5 Onyx members showed up 20 minutes before midnight I'll wait and buy them in the morning.
What are the methods to import a Samsung KS8000 from the US? I just looked at their Best Buy, they are on sale for $899! And it's fucking $1999 here what the fuck?!?!??
Does their Best Buy ship to Canada? Or is it better to get from Amazon US? What kind of customs are getting tagged onto a shipment like that?

1999? 2299 actually. 2.7 after tax lmao. Those people who bought at 1.6k cad are pretty damn lucky
Yea it's nuts, a fucking $1000 extra for Canada what the flying fuck??
Anyone from Toronto or closer to Buffalo ever go to Buffalo via Niagara Falls to buy stuff? Are there any fees when you cross the border for this?
So, to confirm, this is the best possible deal on PS4 Pro right?
Upgrading to PS4 Pro:
1) Trade 5 eligible games get $100
1. Mario Tennis
2. Skylanders Trap Team SW
3. Fossil Fighters Frontier
4. Puzzle and Dragons - Mario Edition
5. Rare Replay
= $100 towards PS4 Pro
2) Trade in old PS4 500 GB
+$210
3) $50 off PS4 Pro for trading in eligible console
+$50
Total price should be:
PS4 Pro 1 TB ($499.99)
- $50 promo
- $210 for old ps4
- $100 for game trade-ins
= $139.99 + 15% tax
= $160.98 grand total
In regards to transferring data, to get this deal I will have to redownload everything? They say 48 hours after buying on another promo I can get $210 back but then I would be charged tax...
Does anyone know what a 3DS XL (not 'new') is worth with this promo instead of PS4?

The 210 trade is actually 160 for the trade in and 50 off the pro equalling $210 not 210 for the trade and 50 off the pro
Why is everyone saying they got $260 for the same PS4 then?
"Save $50 on a PS4 Pro with trade:
The new PS4 Pro being purchased will receive a $50 discount when any normally accepted console is traded towards it. Accepted consoles include, but are not limited to, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii, Wii U, DSI, DSI XL, 2DS, 3DS, 3DS XL, “new” 3DS, and “new” 3DS XL."
and
"Customers interested in upgrading to a PlayStation 4 Pro will receive minimum $210 when they trade either a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One console!"
- EB Games website
The 210 deal does NOT include the $50 off. That deal was around before they put up the $50 off deal.
I thought that as well but when I went to the eb games that's what they told me. I didn't do it myself so it would probably be best to look at someone's receipt if they did the trade. I bought it outright and they told me at anytime in the next 30 days I could still do the trade and they will adjust the price.

have you looked at this?
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Flat-Panel-Televisions/ci/2500/N/3965713807
I was told these guys are great, and their charges are decent. I was going to order from there but my friend brought it for me. Other wise I was very close to order.
and to answer your question, no neither BB or Amazon.com will ship to Canada even with customs.
Hmmm, $1215 CAD for the 49" as opposed to $2200 from buying here, prett fucking good. I wonder if they will have any Black Friday sales, it would make them even sweeter.
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...00fxza_ks8000_series_49_class_suhd_smart.html
Did you get the 49" version? How is it?
Edit: Oh it seems there will be additional fees and customs on top of the $1200 CAD, I wonder how much hmmm.

bhphotovideo is great, their shipping rate is cheaper than using forwarding service since the item will be shipped from their Toronto warehouse most of the time. I ordered a 55" TV from them few weeks ago, about ~$100 USD shipping and took 2 days to arrive.
You can just add the item to cart and calculate customs + shipping fee.
