Thanks! I'll check when I'm back.
If the name changes, I believe it's a requested permanent ban. I hope he's alright.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
As opposed to every other poster whining about their shipping status?
Lets face it most of us have vented in this thread before, he was just a lot more prominent due to being so open about his mental health issues.
We're bringing system Wars bullshit into CanadaGAF now? I thought we were better than the rest of GAF
Just a bit of ribbing! It really was a great deal.
Seems Sunset Overdrive is staying on the Xbox One but you never know. Nothing announced about PC either way.

It's here!
I'm currently setting it up, so here's some bad photos to make due with.
Regarding Chewie, I never minded his posts, in large part because he put his OCD out there, front and centre. I think a lot of people have some degree of OCD (myself included) and therefore some empathy for his obviously quite challenging case.
But on more than one occasion I worried that the forum, and maybe this thread especially, may not have been good for him... because they gave him another platform on which he could obsess over stuff and then occasionally people would engage him about it (perhaps validating his obsessive thoughts).
Anyway, I hope the best for him and I hope being off the forum is helpful, whether it was his choice or not (and based on the circumstances, I'm guessing it was).
EDIT: Also, sorry for continuing the semi off-topic conversation. I haven't noticed any deals that haven't been posted recently, though I did nearly buy Recore, even though I'm pretty sure it's not for me. (Also, Overcooked for $18 on PSN seems like a decent deal, probably going to pull that trigger).

My friend showed me his the other day and it looks gorgeous... Until you actually open it up and see the tiny ass screens... At least they looked tiny next to my XL.

A really good deal is Crypt of the Necrodancer for PS4 and Vita for $4.94 with PS Plus (7.49 for normal members i believe).
No idea if the game is cross save though.
I'm really loving it so far, the screen size doesn't seem too small. But I remember finding the original 3DS tiny versus my regular XL so it's probably a comparison thing.
That's gorgeous. I thought it was just a cover plate with a print. Nope, they went a bit further looks nice.

Hey guys, friend of Chewies here. He didnt get banned. The TLR is that he wanted to just take a break for a bit, thought he was posting a bit more than he should. Hes still lurking around and definitely appreciates the well wishes.

Good to hear! Though, hopefully no controller sale deals get posted any time soon...
Yeah, I was wondering about that... pixel-arty roguelike doesn't really sell me on a game, but "rhythm game" certainly does. For that price, it's probably the other game I'll get from the sale this week. Wish Sony would send me one of those free $10 credits that so many other PS4 Pro owners seem to be getting

Ah, good to hear. Hope he's doing well.
Altitude Sports just had a great black friday deal. Maybe they'll have something similar for boxing day?

Come on Chewie, you don't need no ban to keep you from posting, you're stronger than that. Write your own rules.Hey guys, friend of Chewies here. He didnt get banned. The TL

Thanks. I'll wait for the 1 TB then
Bought! Many thanks for the tip about The Source, Clive - that's a sweet deal I'd have completely missed, and my local store is only two blocks away. Perfect!

i got $43 returned to my CC from amazon.ca for "shipping delays". Last Guardian is a day late. totally fine with that
Has anyone traded in a PS4 to Gamestop before? Might do it to upgrade my PS4 because I feel it may not last after another year or so. I bought it used and the controller thumb grips have the rubber worn off and the HDMI cord isn't the official PS4 one. Does any of that matter, will they still accept trade?

$43!?

What are the chances we'll get really good boxing day deals on graphic cards? I'm looking into getting a sub $200 budget card for my old PC.

EB Games will give you $200 for your PS4 if you trade it towards a Pro. Check their recycled page.
So worth the $10, great game.
Even with a non Sony HDMI and a controller with no rubber on the analog nubs?
Doesn't matter what kind of HMDI cable but they would need a controller in working order. If it looks too beat up they might refuse. You could always tell them to take the controller out of the Pro box and use that for the trade while you keep your no-rubber controller.

$305+tax for a PS4 slim with UC4 and Watch Dogs 2 at The Source.
http://www.thesource.ca/en-ca/gaming/ps4/ps4-consoles-and-bundles/ps4%E2%84%A2-slim-500gb-uncharted-4%3a-a-thief%E2%80%99s-end-bundle/p/108061004
Add both to your cart, and sign up for Source emails (bottom of page) and you'll get a $25 off $100 coupon.
Similar deal at Amazon, though no $25 off coupon (so $329).

I ordered a bunch of stuff from EB Games during the Black Friday sale (on black friday exactly), and they sent me a shipping confirmation but the space where there should be a tracking number was empty, and it hasn't arrived yet. Assuming the package went out when they said (last monday, so like ten days ago), it rarely ever takes this long for something to arrive.
Is anyone else experiencing similar shipping times from EB Games?

Seriously? My CE of TLG still hasn't arrived and all they gave me was an extra month of Prime when I complained :/
YMMV.
Awesome lol. I'll wait for the mail today and then give them a call
Heads up, Amazon is selling the Birthdays: The Beginning Limited Edition. It's $79.99, which is about what it would cost from the NISA Store, except in this case you don't have to pay for shipping.
Doesn't look like it gets the 20% off though.

The 20% will very likely take effect eventually...
Hope so. With 20% off it'd be a pretty great deal.

I think this is the game easy allies talked about, it sounded interesting.
Bought a refurb Apple TV and expected delivery was tomorrow. I log into my iOS delivery app (great app) and it says complication "customer not home or business closed". I run to the door and see the tag on my window.
I'm on nights so I was sleeping during the day and wasn't expecting it until tomorrow.
Damn you FedEx for working too fast!

Since the most game releases are done for the year I'm looking at buying something else: Magic the Gathering cards.
Do you guys know the best place to buy online in Canada?

My replacement TLG: CE arrived from amazon, and its in even worse shape than the first one. I ended up getting a partial refund from them for the trouble, which was nice considering its hefty price tag, but still, I'm starting to think that most of the ones that amazon got were in somewhat rough shape to begin with.
I also asked the CSR about Birthdays: The Beginning Limited Edition not having the 20% pre-order discount. they said it should pop on for existing pre-orders within 3-5 days.

Were there many cases of bad packaging? Quite relieved I cancelled my order altogether.

Mine was a little beat up but nothing too noticeable. I'm sure many others had it a lot worse than I did.
