I'm not really sure what the hell I'm going to do with a DSi (is there ANYTHING it can do that a 3DS can't? I know it doesn't have a GBA slot so that's out) but I kind of want one. WHY.
Retro gaming has a certain charm, or addiction to it.

Exorbitant? They're licensed figurines for $20 that provide some in game bonuses.
Most other figures are $50+.

Native resolution screen for DS games without black borders?

Nice find. Prey, MK8D, Switch, all in there.
Anyone use the EB game return 7 day satisfaction thing lately? Wondering if it's real i.e. No catch? Want to try injustice 2 without commitment...
As long as you're a Platinum member, yup. Just keep the receipt. Only get a one time exchange though, it's not a refund.

Hey guuuuuys....
A positive Amazon shipping update!
ARMS has been updated to be release day delivery eligible. I think this is the first Nintendo title in 2017 to get this -- hopefully a sign of more to come.

It's going for 399 this week now I'm tempted
There's also this hp that's gone on sale today, it's not curved but the price seems good

Anyone has this one?
Good stuff! That list of non-release date delivery games grows smaller and smaller. This is good news.

Another Shoppers deal I just observed in Toronto:
- Uncharted 4 PS4 bundle for $299 (down from $349), with a bonus 60,000 Optimum points (redeemable for $85) - so you can look at it is a bundle with an extra free game, or controller.
FYI, the Shoppers at King/Peter also has a ton of current gen games, and even a couple of Switch games.
Haha, exactly, right? I loved my DSi back in the day. The better build, matte finish, and larger screen totally rendered my DS Lite obsolete. I loved playing the Pokemon games on it. And the DSi XL was always a bit TOO big for me.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Do you know which Switch games they had?
Fuck it.
Bought..
Edit: Wai..what? Musta missed it
Yeah, it was a weird short rollercoaster ride...
Went to shoppers last 20x points. Didn't know it was 20x points Saturday. Got like $38 worth of stuff. Said, fuck it. Grabbed another $13 item and $50 gift card. Price came up to $98 and change. Didn't hit me until on my way out and down the street. Didn't get my 20 points becuase the $13 item only scanned for $10. Even though price tag said $12.99 on the shelf. So missed out on my points. Sitting at 90k too. Basterds. Wanted that 95k to redeem for a PS Pro or something.
Yeah, they're bad for not always labelling sale prices, or I've sometimes had them forget to scan an item they put in my bag. You could probably call their customer service number to complain and get credited the points. I usually try to go over the $50 by like $5 just in case, and then I double-check with the cashier that I got to the $50 before I pay.

Here are my recommendations:
MSI RX 580 ARMOR 4G OC - $274.99
- Buy if you want to save money, and plan to only play at 1080p, or don't mind playing at 1440p or 4k with 1080p textures
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product...80-4gb-armor-oc-video-card-rx-580-armor-4g-oc
MSI - Radeon RX 580 8GB ARMOR OC Video Card - $316.99
- Buy if you want a great Radeon Card, and want to use up to 4k Textures
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product...80-8gb-armor-oc-video-card-rx-580-armor-8g-oc
GTX 1060 6GB - Zotac ZT-P10600B-10M - $329.99
- Buy if you want a great Nvidia Card, and want to use up to 4k Textures
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product...060-6gb-amp-edition-video-card-zt-p10600b-10m
Notes:
- Take these links to NCIX or Memory express and they will price match. Ordering from Amazon is another good situation.
- As long as your CPU is decent, having more Vram is great if you ever plan to play at 1440p or 4k, as you can use higher texture settings. Higher-res textures don't generally reduce performance, unless the game is constantly streaming in huge assets (such as in an open world game).
- My first choice would likely be the RX 580 8GB
Thanks for the input, I didn't know about that PC part picker site. Its a great help. I'm still running a Intel 2500 right now and only a Radeon HD 5770.

lol
I loved the testpunch so I pre-ordered ARMS but I seriously don't want those ugly things. Who would wear just sleeves?!
They also gave me a pair of socks with Mario Kart Deluxe. I was just like "uh, thanks I guess?"
Man what the hell, does Best Buy restock TVs only a pair at a time wtf. I've been trying to get the X900E since release but it's not available in store.
I might just get it from Amazon then, but I'm kinda scared with the shipping. Should I have it delivered to a Canada Post for pick up?

I saw a switch at shoppers at centre rockland in montreal friday evening, felt weird 😱
It was Just Dance and Bomberman.
Why would it be shipped better to Canada Post than to you? That just created more work for you to pick it up
If they deliver before I get home lol, I don't really want it to just sit there in front of my door.
Amazon uses CEVA for big items delivery.
They'll schedule a delivery day with you once your TV is in your city
They won't leave a TV at the door.
Purolator did with a TV I got from NewEgg.

Postes Canada will leave small packages. I've never had them leave big ones on the front door.
Purolator? They won't even ring. If signature isn'T requiered, they'll just drop it and leave. Sometimes, they'll go the extramile and drop it on the patio in the back, still without leaving a notice that they did (that's how we found out the TV was delivered... and that was a 55" one).

So all of a sudden both my PayPal and credit card are "invalid" according to PSN despite working there on Friday and still working literally everywhere else.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I've had that happen once on the PlayStation Store, it wouldn't take any of my payment info. It is probably happening again.
Not personally, but I've read about a lot of others experiencing this. Forgot what triggers it, but there didn't seem to be a way to fix it. If you don't want your CC on PSN, you'll have to buy a PSN card and add funds that way.

CC is invalid according to Sony too. Bought the game on Xbone instead where the card (obviously) worked fine. Guess I'm done with digital PS4 for good which is a nuisance but a relief on my wallet.
Purolator is absolutely the worst courier in my area. Man do they ever care to ring the doorbell? Never happened on me at least.

I once found my Purolator package slightly damaged and nowhere near my door. It seems farfetched, but I swear they just threw it from the truck and hoped for the best.
Is it a foreign card? I think Sony killed all the foreign CC transactions on PSN. My Canadian CC is invalid now on my JPN PSN acc but the same card is fine on my main Canadian PSN acc.
Yep, has happened to me twice now.
If you live in an apartment try putting your apartment # in line 1 and the rest of your address in line 2. That's one potential fix.
