It's cheaper to get it on PSN (around $77 and no tax) or import from play-asia ($78 + $5 shipping, and most of the time you don't need to pay for duty when using cheap shipping option)

I totally forgot I pre-ordered Metal Gear Solid 5: The Lost Tapes from cdjapan and it just shipped.
Returning it back is going to suck.

You can return stuff from CdJapan (and other Japanese online shops)?
I think someone here asked, and was told that the retail copy was slightly delayed until April 1 or so

What? I did not know this.
I never paid anything but GST (federal tax) when buying on NCIX
That might be the case in QC but not in ON.
Yeah I should have mentionned that you need to be outside of ON and BC

On their website it says you can unopened within 30 days of receiving it, but you need to contact them first to set up a rma#.
Yep, I asked a couple of days back and again just now to double check, customer service told me that the shipping date is April 1st, even though the release date is tomorrow. This time they said that the physical copies are not being released until Friday. He did switch my shipping to priority for free so I get it on next Monday the 4th rather than the 5th, though, so it's not so bad! You should ask and maybe they'll do the same for you.
Unless you get his by customs, Play-Asia would be cheaper (though take longer to arrive) due to no taxes.
Edit: Beaten 'cause hitting "go to last post" took me to the last post of the previous page, lol
And don't forget the coupon for $5 off that you can get.

If you buy something from play-asia, you will receive a coupon from them. There's a thread in gaf where people are giving $5 off coupon http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=199400074#post199400074
Play-Asia sends out a coupon for $5 off the next purchase you make over $60 with every order. You might be able to find one of those coupon codes online in case someone didn't use theirs.
There's also a permanent discount code for $3 off any order (I don't think the over $60 limitation applies for this code). That code is "Gematsu". I have used it several times.
edit: Ninja'd. I mentioned the minimum order value of $60 so I'll let my post stay.

Playstation 4 500GB Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Bundle for 379.99 @ Chapters

Ain't nobody buying jack shit with PS4K aboot to hit the streets. The OG PS4 is obsolete now y'all.

Ugh, I don't even want to know how much the PS4K is going to retail for up here. Best case scenario is takes the spot of the current model, but I could see it being priced at $449 if the standard model doesn't get a heavy discount.
$499 USD. $649 CAD believe it.

Best case scenario all it does is "play 4K content" which means movies/videos and not 4k resolution games (because realistically, it would have to be a over $1000 to do that reasonably) so you won't even have a reason to buy one and the OG PS4 is discounted nicely.

4K gaming even on PC isn't cheap, no way they can pacakge a ps4k for 500 USD right now.

The PS4K thread right now is really really fun and active. Everything from "$399-$499, vr only, awful idea, best idea, memories of 32x, but look at iPad!" Etc etc. Truly an entertaining read.
They can if it's simply upressing to 4K with a 4K BluRay included.

I think this is the most divided I've ever seen GAF on a single topic.
Everyone complained last gen was too long.
Everyone complains this gen is too short.
Everyone complains consoles are too underpowered compared to pc.
Everyone complains when consoles may follow a PC like upgrade scheme.

when in doubt, get GTX970
This would be a nightmare.
Truthfully I'm planning on hopping on the 4K/UHD train this year, so I might pick one up if it ends being cheaper than a UHD Blu-ray player.
Anybody knows an online store where I can buy Asics or New Balance shoes?
I need 4E wide shoes cause I have big feets which really sucks cause that really limits my choices.
I've been using NB shoes for a while now but there's isn't any good Training shoes available on their site right now in my size (Size 10/4E) so that's no good.
Asics doesn't have an online store.
I know Sports Experts but they don't specify the width of the shoes on their site so can't really buy there either.

Do you have a Reebok outlet where you live? I go there for my 4E shoes.
Yeah, NX is my holiday plan as well, along with the Amazon pre-orders I've amassed over the year. I have so many PS4 games to finish (and PS3 still...) that I can wait till fall 2017 for a PS4K.
Plus I cringe to think of what the CDN price will be.
VGP still has copies I think?
Does Reebok have actual stores (like NB do?) I never actually looked at Reebok shoes... I know they have some in Footlockers and probably Sports Expert too.
Yep, $30 with free shipping new. I was just wondering if anyone had it cheaper before biting.
Do they charge HST?
Hmmm I just found this... No idea how good that site is tho
http://www.33-off.com/mens-asics-gel-kayano-21-4e/
There's an outlet store just outside of town where I live(Kitchener), and I buy my shoes in person there. They usually only stock 3 or so shoe types in 4E but that's better then zero.
Use their store locator:
http://www.reebok.ca/
You can buy shoes online but I couldn't figure out how to search based on width.
That looks like a straight ripoff of a Reebok shoe I buy:lol
Edit: Footlocker has exactly 1 4E shoe on their website.
BC's sales tax is split. I'll just get it from VGP then.
iunno, looks like just GST to me. I live in BC.
Yeah and that model is ugly AF.... Looks like old people shoes lol
In the process of buying those right now
They have a 10% off promo code for first time buyers but when I use it it gets me under 100$ and I lose free shipping lol.
I looked on Google a bit and the site is getting good reviews.
NCIX charges 15% tax to Nova Scotia.
