I spoke to them on the phone. After making me hold 10 minutes, the MODEL # DOES NOT CORRESPOND. What the fuck I am so angry... It's fucking GTA V ON PS4!

I've nearly platinumed the game. I loved it, way better then the first. With that said, if you have a backlog, I would not buy this and bump this ahead, it is a time commitment game.

😭
I really can't afford to invest more time on top of what I already do between Modern Warfare and DOTA/Battlefield 1.

Getting you credit card compromised isn't much of a deal.
Use PayPal
Wait, what?
What do you mean? Has someone gotten their credit card info stolen by using this site in the past?.

No, don't support a company that refuses to fix their shitty security. It's not about using PayPal.
They need to fix their security holes before I give them any money or support.

Picked up cowboy bebop from amazon as well as finally getting the Witcher 3 expansions from GoG for a really good price.

Until this very moment I had no idea they had paypal... I was a fool and bought the last copy of mario and sonic and the rio olympic games from them a few weeks ago using credit card.. I really hope I don't regret this. Last thing I want is 2 cards stolen in 1 year.

Dayyum, that could last you up until Christmas 2017 lol
Only 13 games? That's barely a backlog...

Well, the Master Chief Collection has 4 games too.
And really? Haha. Those are some big hitter games too. Pretty impressive list IMO.
Bought Hitman, will probably buy Skyrim on Xbox One and PS4 when it's on sale at Walmart ($30 a pop).
I'll end up owning Skyrim on 5 different mediums (6 with the Switch), and I've already played the game 10+ times. I have a problem lol. But mods make it so damn replayable.

Ugh I wish I didn't see that. I wanna buy like 10 of those 3DS/DS/PSP games but I don't trust them with my credit card and I don't have paypal.

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
walmart seems to have the better deals game wise
in length? no way lol. give yourself a week or two and you can chew everything on that list except Witcher 2
13 games where the majority of the list is first/third person shooters with an expected playtime of 6-8 hours each doesn't amount to much
if your list was full of TW2-like games then that's what I'd call a backlog

Actually got a call from my bank earlier today saying I had a large, foreign, charge on my account that they needed to verify. I was wondering where my card was hacked from and low and behold the order I made on black friday on VGP was not done through Paypal (must have slipped my mind - only ever ordered there once before).
Guess I know where that leak likely came from...
*
Hmm, looks like I didn't use Paypal for that previous order too. It was for the Infinite Space reprint and must have wanted to go with the "charge me when it ships option again" and used my credit card. Can you guess what happened two months later? It's not definitive proof or anything but the only other places I use my credit card are Paypal, Bestbuy, Amazon, Chapters Indigo and Cineplex; the card is not used at physical retailers though I do carry it with me so it could have been cloned if someone was close enough to do so.

How is Skyrim on the pro ? I've never played it but I remember playing oblivion on the 360 and I enjoyed it (only played for like 50 hours before quitting though).

This is news to me too. I've used VGP for years now and haven't had a problem yet....

I happen to have one. I have no idea what they're worth though. Want to PM me?

Are you out of your mind? You think I could finish those games in a week or two? More like 3-4 months if I'm lucky. 6-8 hours each? Not a chance. Watch Dogs 2? 30-40 hours. Rise of the Tomb Raider? 15 hours. Forza Horizon 3? 20+ hours. Sunset Overdrive? 20 hours. Quantum Break? 10 hours. Then there's all of the Halo and Gears games. Plus a 30+ hour Witcher game. If anyone plays those games in 1-2 weeks, they have a serious problem.
And that IS a big backlog. Just because some people have even more insane backlogs, doesn't mean mine isn't large. And not just large, but full of really high profile games.
You can buy the digital code from the Microsoft online store. (not to be confused with the Xbox store)
They email you the code instantly.
Hey, I'm an idiot, could you clarify this for me?
I see Gears of War 4 on https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/store/p/gears-of-war-4/9nblggh4pbbm, but it doesnt give the option for a code, just applies it directly to my account.

Haha I hear ya. I'm pretty stoked! I estimate it will take me at least 3-4 months. Plus I'll have Resident Evil 7, Horizon: Zero Dawn, South Park, and Mass Effect in first half 2017. It's insane.
Sure, I PM'ed you
why are your average playtimes inflated to hell?
I don't even understand why you'd have to add "high profile games" as if that is supposed to amount to something lol get real. the only two games on your list that has content equal to its production values in quantity and quality (I'm going along with your idea that high production values equates to more content) are Forza Horizon 3 and TW2.
and you probably have this idea in your head that I'm putting down the games in your list when I'm not. you actually have a very good backlog quality-wise. I have good memories of playing the Halo games back-to-back with MCC and stuff. shit holds up well uhh except Combat Evolved.

Watch Dogs 2 is actually good? Maybe I'll get it when it hits 30 bucks
You guys ready for boxing day? I haven't really looked at any flyers but I'll be checking this thread to see if you guys find anything good

Whatever dude. My play times are WAY closer than yours. 6-8 hours is complete laughable bullshit. Not a chance in hell you beat Watch Dogs 2 in less than 20 hours if you do side quests too. 30 hours is absolutely plausible...the first game took me that long. 20 hours is very reasonable for main quests and side quests in Sunset Overdrive.The IGN review even says exactly that. 20 hours for Forza? EASILY. 15 hours in Tomb Raider 20 Year Celebration? You're damn right. You have no clue what you are talking about with 6-8 hours each. Sorry to tell you.

I posted this in the TV gaf thread only got one reply but really eyeing the last one at best buy in my post
I was wondering if I could get some help here picking a TV for Boxing day for my new house: I will list them with price and was wondering if I could get an opinion on the best options given, I am also a gamer mind you if that helps narrow it down:

Superstore: 60" Sony Smart LED TV, 1080p, KDL60W630, $898.00
Best Buy: 55" Sharp Roku Smart Tv, LED, 1080p, DTS Trusound, built in WIFI

Best Buy: 50" Samsung 4K HDR UHD Smart LED TV, Motion Rate 120, Built in WIFI HDR
UN50KU627OFXZC 699.99
Thanks, if possible positives and negatives for some but what would be the better purchase.
Come on folks, let's just be happy we're all drowning in games. We got an amazing Q1 2017 coming up and let's not forget the Switch in March
Tell me about it. Nier:A, GR2, P5, Horizon and more? And I only have P5 preordered. For PS3. My wallet is going to dieeeeee.

Should I get Steins;Gate 0 for $49.99 + $2.99 (Uninsured/10-12 Day) shipping from VGP.ca?
Seems like a really good deal. ($30 off.)

I'll be the lone dissenting view here. It didnt get my attention at all. The concept and story in particular didnt resonate with me. Gameplay is fine, better than the first for sure. I'll pick it up again in a year when it hits $20.
I'm on the edge myself. Just bought U4 and Deus Ex MD today, so I don't know if I should. I'm definitely getting Shiren, though. Will probably pick up a $5 game, too, to get free shipping.
Wrong store, not sure why Microsoft has so many disjointed online shops.
This is the link you want to use. https://www.microsoftstore.com/

What is their free shipping? (The uninsured is $2.99 for 10-12 days)
Also, I had trouble finding a cheap game to get over that 0.01c hurdle, what did you use?
Yeah, their free shipping is $50. Haven't placed my order yet, but I was thinking that Hakuoki PSP game.

The Steam controller is on sale on Amazon, and you get a free carrying case for it, too.

Forza alone will eat your life up.
I have bought so many games from early sales and PSN deals.... and yet I'm ultra tempted to grab Mafia III and Deus Ex on Monday, haha. $30 each at Wal-Mart is too good to pass up
If the dollar drops to $0.65usd like CBC was taking about it'll be $350+

Right? I legitimately have hundreds of games worth playing and on my list to play.

Been looking myself for 3 months. All this HDR speak is confusing - now I read its not as worth it if the tv is not high end?
Bought a 1080p in summer that was kind of mid-range rated. IMO its been a 10/10 value. What I see simply didnt match some of the impressions in the negative reviews.
Also keep in mind reviews online may look at stuff that doesnt matter to YOUR usage, like viewing angles, SD content, built in speakers, cable tv watching, etc.
Point being, look at your potential use, and budget, and get what fits. Dont pay for features you will rarely use.
