Boo.
Yick. Oh well, hope my old Vita will be kicking for a while I guess. It's too bad they got paranoid and made the battery a pain to replace.
(Also reversed O and X buttons would kill me... lol)

There's a big thread (200 pages) on RFD with people noting asia purchases taking upward of 100 days to arrive since last year.
It depends on where they come from.
My orders from Japan get here almost faster than Amazon's, but anything from Thailand or Singapore will take forever. Play-Asia is based in Singapore so...

Xbox getting all the deals. Envious of cbox fans BUT greatful Im not adding even more to the backlog.

I could probably find one for you locally here. But you'd have to cover the shipping to you.
EDIT: Scratch that. All sold out.

Not a gaming deal but a good cineplex movie deal.
https://summerescape.cineplex.com/?lang=en-us
http://forums.redflagdeals.com/cine...discounted-tickets-scene-points-ymmv-2104008/
Basically, you pre-buy 5 movie tickets that can be used this summer only, with different ticket tiers for certain types of movies.
You will save at least 15% and can use them for reserved seating and online, no need to line up. You can use 2 tickets per show, so if you plan on seeing at least 2 movies this summer with at least one other person, it's a no brainer. If you buy tickets via the mobile app, they show up as passes that you can easily redeem.
Silver generally covers what most people watch, amazing deal if you go to a lot of IMAX movies.

If you don't mind refurbished, this is as close to factory refurbished as you can get in Canada: https://mtcfactoryoutlet.com/?s=vita&post_type=product
MTC is the authorized PlayStation repair centre in Canada. I ordered a slim model from them a couple months ago for Persona 5 remote play and I couldn't be happier with it.

Oh shit its on sale, the OLED is cheaper, but I heard those screens don't last as long.

I had both for about 18 months each. OLED > LCD by a decent margin, but the form factor of the slim was WAY better. Preferred the slim overall.
Truth, Japan Post is really quick. I thought Play-Asia was based in Hong Kong? I've never had an issue with them. DealExtreme and basically anything off of AliExpress, or someone shipping from China on Amazon/eBay, though...

All this Vita talk. Just fired mine up a two weeks ago to finally finish P4G.
Sigh...such a great system. It's terrible Sony just dropped it.

I can also vouch for that site, I got my second Vita (white 1000) from them.
$100 for a black 1000 is a pretty solid deal.
I've had my first Vita since launch and used it a lot, and the screen and battery life are still fine. Apart from the serial number stickers having peeled out it still shows virtually no sign of aging.

MTC is awesome.
They are the only authorized service centre in Canada for PlayStation System repairs.
Can vouch for them. Got my PS3 from them and it's still running perfectly.

hmm. Would you recommend buying a TV from this store? They've got some pretty good prices, and I don't mind going refurbished as long as it's done well.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Did you try EB Games?

Huh, that's neat. I never heard of them before.
It's also 80 bucks to repair a Vita... why not just buy a refurb. lol
Do you know if they are old (3.6) firmware?

i might take advantage of that
I'll go to the one that's like 5 mins from work on monday.
3 DBOX movies = the price this come out to,
Want to watch:
Wonder Woman
Spider-Man Homecoming
War For The Planet of The Apes
Baby Driver
Worth it already.
There's a bunch of other movies also releasing that I'm undecided on but interested in, so yeah, bought the silver package already.
Save yourself some time and call first. That's always best.
Eh. Don't expect any of this coming to Canada. We're still waiting for the GCU to come. And it will always be like this for us.

I think mine had 3.63 (???) but emphasis on think as I immediately updated to the latest available for remote play with my PS4.

With VIP tickets at $25 a pop, the Gold deal is a no-brainer!

I didn't order stormblood but I can tell you Amazon is terrible with codes. I waited a full month from Amazon and eventually they gave me $17 so I could buy A code from eBay.

Oh shit, sweet. I'll grab the Amazon one hah.

picked up the g900 at staples by my place (last one) and I find it fantastic.

Yep, they work. You would be surprised at what No Passes actually means - it is really designed for people with freebie tickets, not gift certificates. The reason being is it steals a seat and ticket from the box office receipts so movie distributors, not theatres, will restrict shows because it deflates numbers. They take opening weekends very seriously.
https://cineplex.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/235905687-What-does-No-Passes-Mean-
They just show up as per purchased tickets on the Mobile app, no restrictions.

They stopped in April. Throughout school I've been so careful with my credit card and spending, because I know that Chase can be stingy with their acceptances and I really wanted to get an Amazon card after I graduated. Then they went and cancelled in my final year. Now it's like I spent all that time building my credit for nothing.
Yeah, since April 2017. There's Rogers o Fido card which gives you a net 1.5% on cashback compared to Amazon's 1%.
I mainly wanted it for the foreign transactions and when I go travel. I guess Rogers doesn't do that?
You can use the card everywhere. If you don't have a Rogers services, just get the Fido card since it has no annual fee but it still has the same cashback when used on foreign currency.
They used to waive the foreign currency fee, but that changed a few months ago. Now they charge the typical 2.5% conversion fee; however, you receive 4% cash back for foreign transactions instead of the normal 1.75% for purchases in CAD.
It's definitely a good card if you're already a Rogers customer. They also waive the annual fee if you use the card as a pre-authorized form of payment for your Rogers bill.
The really high cashback on foreign purchases actually makes it slightly better than Amazon as you're getting 1.5% cashback after you take into account the 2.5%. Amazon was 1% cashback with the 2.5% waived. If you're a Rogers, Fido, or Chatr customer I recommend it.
Or if he's not, he can get the Fido. It doesn't have an annual fee and he can request an annual statement credit on it by the end of the year.
If you are a Rogers, Fido or Chartr, get Rogers but if not, then get the Fido.
