Ridiculously tempting...

Do we know when the discount will run until?

Are any of you gentlemen into CRT TVs?

I live in Mississauga and we have two identical flat screen Sony Trinitron TVs that I'm willing to give away for free (donations are cool too lol) as long you can pick them up.

They look like these and while they're not PVMs, they're great for retro gaming:

I also have another Sony Trinitron TV way back from my childhood playing NES games that I'm willing to give away, but I doubt that anyone would that now.

Let me know!

Walmart charged me the full amount for Splatoon 2 (and the amiibos) today, and the order is now "in progress." Just thought I'd let you guys know, so you can look out for it.

$56 after taxes - I'm still so happy about that!

Funny enough Walmart charged me $49.96 without taxes. Never had Walmart charge me so early for an item.
Click to expand...

Yeah, the early charge is surprising. Maybe they got the stock in already and are just holding the inventory until it ships? No idea, haha.

Good someone else had this happen as well. Are you in Ontario? Maybe Walmart screwed up based off province.
Click to expand...

I'm in Ontario. Pending charge includes taxes.


On the other hand still no charge for Crash Trilogy. Thanks for the free copy Walmart?

No idea, but it's probably one of those things that you don't want to wait on very long if you think you're going to want it

Checking camelcamelcamel, it looks like it's been steadily going down in price for about a month, so it doesn't look like anyone needs to rush.

And when they do they should include a pic of the inputs as well as the model number.

I just took my Panasonic Tau 32" CRT to the disposal center after replacing it with an OSSC/4K TV combo.

No one wanted it (despite it having 2 set of component inputs, 2 sets of SVideo inputs and 4 AV inputs). It's also the best CRT TV made after 2K (yes, better than the WEGA of the time).

Oh well... (Ah yes, someone was willing to "take it" but I had to bring it to him.. like really? Took it to the center instead)

yeahhh I went to a couple of places but like... 130 seems expensive for a piece of glass and some black plastic borders

I could probably just make my own I guess
Click to expand...

Yeah, I'm interested in this as well. I wanted to get the map from the BoTW Limited Edition framed (11.5"x19"), but it seems to be $120+ everywhere I've checked for a custom frame.

anybody knows a good way to get 27x40 movie posters framed for cheap?
Click to expand...
Ah, a question! That's sort of similar to the Garfield comic in a way.

Now where...could my pipe be?

You see, you can take that question, flip it around, rearrange it, or implant a completely different query in its place. It still works. And you are still draped in the light of the lack of knowledge.

You want to know where to frame your movie posters? Ask, ask, ask, will you ask?

(I don't know.)

I've been banned for way less. Like posting this in response to this




I'm pretty sure a mod has it out for me xD
Click to expand...

Lol thats it? I've gotten away with murder compared to that.

The trick is to charm a mod into giving you a tag. Mods have a soft spot for us.

Walmart.ca has a pending charge on my card for 49.96. I think it's from the Splatoon2/SMO E3 deal. Do they really hold a charge on a card two weeks away from release? Seems so strange.

*Edit: See it's happened to others. So weird that no tax was added and so far away from release. Wal-Mart you crazy!*

They're wildly inconsistent when it comes to bans. Sometimes they're trigger happy, sometimes they let some ridiculous shit slide, but they're only human. I'd still like to discuss my moderation history with a mod though as I feel they've all been absolute fucking bullshit.

Talking about it openly on the forums doesn't typically end well. They do say if you feel you been wrongly banned in the past you should PM one.

what you have to do is be some sort of MS shill.

I did get banned for posting 'what trash' and a mod or someone thought I meant 'white trash' lol. I didn't mind it, wasn't too long.

Yeah, just echoing that you guys should quiet the discussion, the retro gaming thread was locked for a day and scrubbed clean of posts when the conversation turned to bans and moderation discussion.

Watch that happen and SNES preorders go up: chaos!

I was charged for Splatoon 2 as well. Although I'm still more preoccupied with identifying which order they've preauthorized my debit card for $66.75 a grand total of 5 times and counting. Was given the phone number for head office when I inquired in person last week so I'll see if I'm able to put a stop to the charges tomorrow.

So do we know if switch games like Mario Odyssey and Fire Emblem Warriors really are 99$?

Thankfully I got amazon E3 deals in, but as much as I love Fire Emblem, there's no way I'd pay 100$ for a Musou game...

They're $99 until Nintendo elects to move away from their "placeholder" prices.
I suspect that will decision will depend on how big of a dent they see in their pre-order numbers.
So long as people continue to pre-order in the same numbers at the inflated prices, why would they ever bother dropping them?

Subete no aware
I may be LTTP which is why I'm just putting it here, but for some reason the Prime discount on Tokyo Xanadu EX+ is broken:
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01N4PCCN1/
The Prime price is 52 bucks.

Also not sure if I should keep the Vita version... the only reason I checked the PS4 version was because I got a shipping notice for the Vita version, which seems to be inferior in every way.
