Canadian Gaming Deals & Discussion 8: Don't Move Here For The Deals

I really do wonder if we should make a thread warning people that VGP still has a problem with compromised credit cards on their site. I warned people in the Limited Run Games thread with posts from this thread and even more people chimed in with stories of compromised cards shortly after making purchases at VGP and didn't know that was probably the cause until my post.
Yeah, why not? This will entirely help those people who purchase from VGP to use paypal when ordering from their site.

I think it's absolutely worth it. I like VGP and want to support them even after the initial security breach, but I didn't know VGP was still leaking credit card numbers until it was mentioned a few weeks back in this thread.
(also in an ideal scenario it would give people a URL to tweet at VGP asking them to look into the matter, and maybe they'll actually fix their shit)

Or just not support them... unless you REALLY want one of their niche games/reprints.
I refuse to believe that they are completely clueless about it.
I remember reading it in their FAQ on day 1 when they started to do it here in Canada. There was some confusion on GAF though and many attempted to get it to stack with few success stores. It's still a great promo for games you aren't able to snag from e3.

I think there are eshop deals but no Nintendo specific titles.

ebgames is still doing the ps4 trade in deal. without the year of ps plus though
I wonder if iPad mini 2 is enough to play it? I think it's going to be 274 at Walmart.
Will check it out. Thanks!
It's not a secret at this point. The only time my CC was compromised was after I bought from them. And that was before the big hack they had. For this one I had the protection from the PSN breach and I got an alert that my personal information was being compromised.VGP never emailed me about it. I had to look at the pastebin myself to see my personal info was in.
So 2/2 for me. I wouldn't recommend buying from them.
Prices for Switch games are gonna sting aren't they. $80 Pokemon Stars... ugggh!
Great deal. I did it, though I traded mine in before they added bf1, got a $50 gift card to restaurants in instead. Few of my friends did the deal above.
Considering you get a new console, new game, 4k blu ray player I think it's well worth it.
Flash sale on the PSN:

Titanfall 2 for $40 is pretty good. Most retailers have it at $50 for Boxing Day prices I think.

Anyone know the best place to get decent AA batteries for cheap? In store?

I literally just ran to Wal-Mart for AA batteries since one of my gifts requires 9 of them :/
A 12 pack was $5.97. Good luck!
So I just now got something in the mail from Best Buy after ordering it on November 25th. It got lost in the mail and the post office didn't even see it in their system. Furthermore it didn't even get shipped in a box.
Best Buy said they would refund me temporarily until it's confirmed I get the package, but I paid with a pre-paid credit card. Since I don't have enough money on the pre-paid credit card anymore, if they try to recharge me after refunding me what will happen? Ban me from their store? Don't really give a shit that much.

damn was hoping for a sale on The Witness again, regret not grabbing it on BF.

I've personally enjoyed it but it's certainly not for everyone.

Do you like Starfox 64? Did you enjoy, or at least tolerate, the motion controls in Zelda Skyward Sword? If you answered "yes" to both questions, I'd easily recommend SF0 at that price. Otherwise, your mileage may vary.

I was yes to Star Fox and no to Skyward controls. I didn't really enjoy it. Doesn't help that there was no online multiplayer.
A missed opportunity.
Now they aren't the greatest but The Source has Infinicell batteries, 40AA and 20AAA for like $20
Got them for the same reason, toys. And they'll last long enough in toys.
I answer yes to both, yet I despise SFZ. ¯\_(ツ
_/¯Forced use of the Game Pad and motion controls go way beyond Skyward Sword for me. Anything that's not an Arwing feels like a tech demo and there are even very few well designed railshooter Arwing courses. For me to recommend to someone, it'd have to fall into the "Do you have $20 you want to throw away?" range.
Apologizes to those that like SFZ, I know it was fiercely defended by a lot of members.

SFZ was... frustrating for me. I kept trying to play it like SF64, to be fair, and the controls were a steep learning curve. Let's just say I did the last battle many many times.
It has some fun moments, though.

Huge starfox fan here (original and 64), and I agree with this post completely. Zero was a let down, and hopefully bad sales send a message to get back to basics.
The U gamepad was borderline unuseable to me in the best of circumstances. Now you want me to play starfox with motion? Lol nope.

Ordered the Cowboy Bebop blu ray. Just curious, how's the art in this series? I ask because Japanese design is one of the main reasons why I've always admired anime from a distance. I'm a big fan of Yoji Shinkawa and MGS Art Books are about as close as I've come to appreciation of any thing in that realm.

There's a trade in deal for COD IW for PS4 and XOne, for those who care at EB Games. It's trade in two games with at least a TIV of $8, and it's a preeetty long list of eligible games. Gonna trade in DR3 and Smash Bros 3DS for it.

In-Store Deal?
Thesource is currently selling Hyrule Warriors Legends and Fire Emblem Birthright for $24.96 in-store if yours still has some. I think this is the lowest I've ever seen them.

Rainbow 6 finally gets my money.
I had to cancel cards twice after buying through VGP. The second card was a replacement for the first and I used it to replace the card I had on file with VGP after I had to cancel it, lol.
Never again.
Cowboy Bebop is one of the last great hurrahs of pre-digital anime production.

Why is the steam link listed as 23.99 on steam but the amazon page it redirects you to has it at 32.99?
$39 for Witcher 3 Complete (PS4) at EB, or $41 for Witcher 3 Complete (PC) on Steam...HMMM....
- I have plenty to play already - maybe I should wait till it's eventually even cheaper?
- I have a fairly beasty modern PC, and it'll no doubt look better there, but I'd prefer comfy couch setup on our huge TV/great home theatre. There's no way the PC is getting hooked up there right now, unfortunately.
- Got a PS4 Pro, but there's no patch for this, and I hear it's still spotty on framerate?

So... I used BB price match form online. It automatically add my order # with the game that I paid more for. I also included a link to the game on amazon. Here's their reply:
"Dear Customer,
Thank you for your email inquiry regarding a credit under our Lowest Price Guarantee for the Grand Theft Auto V (PS4)
advertised on Amazon.ca.
Before to proceed, could you please provide us the specific link or web code in our website regarding your inquiry?
Once we have received the necessary information we will working in this matter
We look forward your response.
Sincerely"
What the hell do they want?
Edit: wow, the form that got sent gave an order number automatically and it does not correspond to anything I ever ordered (maybe it's a query "order" number). What a mess, I should have just used the phone...

ugh why isn't Amazon at least price matching BestBuy for Overwatch ($39) There's no BestBuy on this side of Newfoundland.
Obviously get no flyers and I've had nothing but getting shut down trying to price match with their online flyers.
I've literally never once had the online price match work at Best buy, they've always shut me down for some bullshit reason. In store, I've never had a problem.

If you think you can wait, it'll probably go down lower in price at a future deal.
I'd say it's worth it. Having bailed out on the first game, WD2 is a massive improvement.
