All you can eat sushi is a scam. It fills you up too fast, you never get your money's worth. You can get full off sushi for like $10

There's no place over here (Ottawa region) where I'm going to get $10 of sushi and get full. $20 is probably more likely to fill me up (and I'm not really big or anything, just 160 lbs).

Deal

Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax for ps3 on final clearance on Best buy for 9.97.

http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product...spx?path=e35ac460d9b2f48e042263671c230dbcen02


10 copies left online at the time of this post. quebec has shipping restrictions

Barely touched the copy I bought in Akihabara last April after having a good time with it in the arcades. But $10 would have been nice to get an English copy. But sold out/I'm on the Quebec side so that wouldn't have worked out anyway.

I don't know what ghetto Samurai Sushi you guys are going to, but the one on Davie is good stuff, and isn't all you can eat.

But most sushi places have other stuff you can get other than sushi. So you end up paying for the variety.

I guess...at the risk of sounding snobbish, I'd rather just pay for one portion of something done right haha

If anyone is looking to extend their network, the refurb units of the D-Link DAP-1650 are 50% the price of the new unit. Picked one up and hopefully it's good. Otherwise I'll return it.

there's one that stops by Surrey Central Station like twice a week? when I have spare cash, I always get something there <3

Yeah. I'm not huge on it but wish that existed when I used to go to school there for at least some variety

For me, depends on my mood. Something done right for sure will be best.

But sometimes, you just want to binge on a whole bunch of different things. I'll go for the former more often than the latter too though to be honest.

So glad I traded this earlier this year for like $22 at EB. What a terrible game.

 

[ASilentProtagonist]

Dark Souls 3 is shipping today for me from Amazon! Usually Tuesday orders ship Monday for me. Could I be getting this a bit early?

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

If you're close enough to a Best Buy, you can usually pick up a clearance game and have it drop further in price within 30 days for price protection.

 

[Kyolux]

Objectively, it is indeed.

It's fan service + simple/easy to pick up though. We had a blast that one evening at my friend I brought it over playing taking turns just going at it without having to really learn every characters. (We were like 6 or 7 taking turns in VS mode.)

I'm prime/ordered at E3 and still says Arriving Tuesday. Yours says preparing?

Lol exactly.

I upgraded to release day delivery when I ordered it. Stupid that you can't change it now though. Are they saying it's "preparing for shipment" or something and that's why they won't let you do it? I'd go nuts waiting a week.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Damn it, I was actually enjoying a relatively slower stream of game releases so I could start catching up on stuff.

I mean, I'm not making too many new orders, but there are still a ton of E3 games from last year.

 

[Kyolux]

Hmm. Mine is April 20th to 22nd. I have Amazon Prime and they won't even let me change to two day shipping. :/

I'm sure you'll get it on Tuesday anyway. Unless you're really far from the distribution center I guess? For some reason, mine is set to priority. Don't know which shipping that is in practice.

Damn it, I was actually enjoying a relatively slower stream of game releases so I could start catching up on stuff.

The backlogging will never end. April, May and June are packed for me.

I mean, I'm not making too many new orders, but there are still a ton of E3 games from last year.

Still have FFXV and KH3 from 2013, Uncharted 4 from 2014 and a dozen games from last year? I don't even want to count.

Nah. It's been this way for weeks. Not sure why it can't be upgraded. They tried it on there end and said it can't be done. I asked to recreate the order and apply discounts. They won't do it.

 

[Ryde3]

opted for Dark Souls 3 on PC, jelly of all you people who (may) get it tomorrow.

edit: just remembered I kept my E3 order of Dark Souls on PS4 for a friend, so if that makes it early I'll DEFINITELY give it a try before he gets it.

Would love to have the game for the week-end. Especially since my Friday evening with friends was cancelled.

But worse-case I'll be trying the Battleborn beta, which I need to play to know if I get that pre-order or not.

Has anyone gone to any sports/grill bars where you can change then channel to your liking?
I'm curious if we can go to a sports bar with lots of TVs and have our own little private area/corner to watch E3. We can't meet at our private homes this year.

Trios is also a pretty good place. Great hot-dogs.

 

[Nuckerbockers]

So amazon won't be sending out Dark Souls 3 for me until mid May because of a shortage. On an order I placed 10 months ago? What?

It's probably not an accurate estimate. They just want to scare you into getting prime, or just scare you period.

It's the CSR who is telling me this as well. Not sure what kind of argument I can make with them though. Frustrating.

Hmmm, I found Real Sports Bar and Grill, too, they seem to have private events, meetings, birthdays accomodations as well.

I've never heard, or been to one that does that. I'm not sure if they exist.

And i don't think E3 is on TV anymore, is it?

I believe Spike still showed it last year. As my post above, Real Sports apparently has more private areas with TVs and not sure about internet (if we stream it instead of Spike), but it looks expensive. I sent them an inquiry and I'll see if they can accomodate.

He's just saying whatever the site is already showing you. He probably don't care enough to dig further.

It just shipped!

 

[Kyolux]

Lucky you. Might get it for the week-end.

For me, the status is still arriving Tuesday.

Off-topic: Just went to TD to turn-in a huge bag of coins I've had for decades, where I used to leave all my pocket change over the years.

They have this coin counter (free if you have an account with them), and it took like 10 minutes to drop everything through it. Ended up with $63.. Going in I was expecting like maybe 15-20 or so? But I had over 20 just in pennies.

 

[iphys]

I am very confused about a third party seller on Amazon. On their page, they say:

"Recipients of orders shipped outside Canada are fully responsible for all import charges such as Brokerage, Duties, Taxes etc."

They also state domestic prices for Canada shipping. Nothing on their page says that they are in the US. However, I found by accessing a page where you see all possible sellers that the item ships from Virginia, USA.

Now I am scared to be hit with customs and everything, but their wording on their storefront make it sound like they are in Canada. Am I crazy?

Edit: CSR understands it the same way as I do, he says:

"As, I see that it is clearly mentioned that it would be charge only on the items shipped outside Canada. Please do not worry.
There won't be any charges, however if you are hit by the charges, you can contact the seller , so that they can help you accordingly.
If the seller is not able to help you, you can file an A-z guarantee claim on the seller."

Still, I have a huge feeling that I will be hit hard by customs... Can I use that chat to convince Amazon to pay back all extra fees?

I've never been hit yet by items that shipped from out of country that I ordered from amazon.ca. One seller even specifically mentioned no customs/duty despite the item being worth $60 US, and magically it arrived marked gift and under $20, lol.

I would love that, but It's being shipped by FedEx so I don't know if they ship early. I remember hearing they'll hold on to the package until the delivery date.

Oh, never got Amazon stuff from FedEx. 98% of the time Canada Post, some rare times UPS or purolator.

Where are you receiving it from and where to?

I'm in Quebec's side of the Ottawa region and usually receive stuff from Mississauga.

idk there's what's effectively an all you can eat sushi place here that does awesome sushi for $15 for dinner and $10 for lunch, definitely feels like you can eat more than that in value

Wait for the E3 preorder offer. Best-Buy has them, but Amazon will eventually have them too, since they're on amazon.com (Amazon.ca has some delay with 3DS games, they'Re still lacking Kirby, DQ7 and DQ8 as well as Mario and Sonic 2016 on WiiU)
