Basically nothing for me this Boxing Day from the major stores. Steam will save us.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Eh, Steam sales have been better but it's still better than PSN. Like even now, before the Winter sale Mankind Divided is $23 on Steam. I'm sure there will be some stinkers but I still expect some good deals.
All I'm looking for is Dark Souls 3 anyway.

At this point, it's not so much that the sales have to be amazing, it's that there has to be sales on stuff I actually want. Like, I'm not interested in shooters on consoles really, so it doesn't matter how often Infinite Warfare or Battlefield 1 go on sale, if they're not PC versions I don't care. Many of the more niche games I would be interested in never go on sale at the big stores anymore. I still remember when you could find stuff like Devil Survivor Overclocked in the EB Games Boxing Day flyers; those days are long gone. Though I guess Dragon Quest Builders did get a few discounts, but I'm waiting a bit on that one.
PSN's had some decent sales this year, though, that is true. Which reminds me, I should really pick up Severed.
Dang it. I just ordered that assassins creed collection for 59 $ on amazon. Does amazon price match?
I better receive that game on the 23 rd or I'll be pissed off. It's a Christmas gift.
I'm thinking I'll get Forza horizon, dead rising 4, final fantasy XV, mafia 3 and maybe dishorned 2 on Boxing Day

Nice thank you. Preordered.
PSN deals have been consistently good all year. the boxing day sales this year are not bad at all either.

I think I'm actually gonna jump on that Rainbow Six Siege deal. I've heard it's fantastic and it's only $15.
CDkeys, Gamesplanet and GMG will save us.
It's $14.96 at The Source, for either console. Sold out online, but I picked up an Xbox One copy locally.
Wow, I didn't even know this was a thing. :O
Pre-ordered, and many thanks to you for letting me know!
I thought Amazon was good at price adjustments . I bought assassins creed game at full price but know it's on sale. Chat told me they only adjust prices on tvs. They offer me a return label so I can return the game and re order it on the sale price. That's no good I need it for Christmas . Prime sucks , I signed up for it for 2 day shipping. Well I bought my grandma a gift it it won't arrive till the 29 th. Amazon sucks . Walmart and bestbuy for me know on.
I'm pretty sure I'm getting Rainbow Six Siege for Christmas. I always feel bad when I get a game from someone and then it's on at Boxing Day for $15.
Looks like my wallet will remain unharmed this Boxing Day.... really, I've gotten most of the stuff I wanted this year, and I splurged a little bit of Christmas money I received before the 25th on GTA, when it was $30 at Amazon/EB.
FWIW, I don't think the deals are terrible (but nor do I think there's much that's all that great). I think R6 seems like a heck of a deal for a game that sounds like it's still humming and I've been really curious about for some time.

I have had Amazon refund a price difference when an item I ordered went on sale a couple days later and reasoned it made no sense to return an item to buy it again. They agreed. The second thing sounds more like any online shopping issue during the holidays, don't buy your gifts last minute. The companies that ship these items are slammed during the holidays. That's just common sense.
Amazon.ca has automatic price protection on items they sell that reduce in price within 7-days of shipping. Unfortunately, they have no price matching policy and attempts are very YMMV.

Anyone know if EB will have the NES classic at open? I got that impression from the email but it didn't actually state that.
I'm at EB currently but no line up at all. That's either a good thing because maybe it's not too widely known or no one wanted to line up again for it, but it could be a bad sign and they handed out vouchers in the middle of the night or something.
Well at least I have the new Nine Inch Nails EP to listen to while I wait (it's great!).

Woah, the amazon pre-orders for nier automata must have sold out it's listed as unavailable.

The listing is just not ready.
I was at an Ontario EB Games last night and they said if they were getting them they would be delivered at some point during the day today (Thursday) and definitely would not have them at open.

I was looking at my orders and it says that I already ordered it last year...

I would have ordered one if it was in stock.

This is why Decimal placement is important
I think it's a dead sku. It's not available anywhere.
If you search for Used stock, it's available at many places though

I did store availability and it was all red.
Edit: Ah. The checkbox. I see now. Damn.
Has that checkbox always been there? I have searched used product before assuming it was actually looking for used in the store availability.

It's the new one at $1.99 though.

But the sku says refurbished, which I would assume means used. I don't think you can really have new refurbs.

I have never played Halo or GoW.
Do the older games hold up? Is it worth it to claim all those game codes included in the Boxing Day bundle?

They hold up extremely well.
After playing Halo 5 last year, I went back and played through Halo 1, 2, 3 and ODST (had never played 2 or ODST). They all held up great. The big set piece moments are still really awesome.
I've been meaning to go back to finish Reach and 4, as I never played either of those, but I got a little burnt out playing through 5 Halo games in a span of like 2 months.
Anyone know what the trade value is for FFXV and TLG?
MCC is a great way to play the original Halo campaigns.
Comixology is USD
Thanks!

Thanks.
It looks like the Comixology sale is reflected on amazon.ca and the prices are even better.
Damn.. I never thought of using comixolgy. And if Amazon purchases work with it that's awesome. I was going to pick up I hate Fairyland 2 today. Well, it's $1.30 on Amazon, good deal.
Tsk, they got me, page to the trade linked me to the Kindle version of the actual second issue.
Oh well. Bought The Sandman Vol 1, been wanting to read that one.
Not sure if it was mentioned, but Amazon.ca has the Steam Link on for half price. $32.99 with Prime shipping available.

Soooooo tempted by this.
I've been lazy on picking up the Back to the Future trades but at ~$6.63 CDN on Amazon.ca it's really tempting to just get the digital version that could work on Comixology.
