Got this power bank for my switch 20% off, already 50% claimed, I guess I did good.

 

[Black Republican]

I want it for my phone but the write speeds are meh. Spoiled by my U3 64GB card :\

i think switch is gonna be the only console i stick with retail apart from the indie download only games, is it worth it me buying a 64gb/128gb card or nah?

 

[chrominance]

No one interested in the Sony MDRXB950B1? A Bluetooth headphone for $99 seems kinda tempting. Any thoughts?

Oh, that's weird, those were $125 earlier today. I looked up reviews earlier, and there don't seem to be many reviews of them. What reviews I did find don't look good: overly bassy (even with bass boost off), muddy, etc. Didn't know rtings did headphone reviews but here's theirs, it's not great. r/headphones doesn't really like it either, and head-fi doesn't even really acknowledge their existence, which is a bad sign. Here's a particularly damning review that makes them sound like Beats bass-overload bullshit.

I would love to find a replacement for my Mee Matrix 2 headphones, which are still going strong but require tape to hold together, but these do not look good.

If only Nintendo kept things in stock when people want them. I would have bought this in a second two months ago. Now, I am pretty much done with the game and don't care.

 

[thescience]

$100 instant pot seems like a good deal. Do they ever go for that low elsewhere?

 

[trixx]

The headphones are pretty good at $99

Can the Amazon $25 Gift Card +$5 promo be applied to previous orders?

 

[leeman]

Can the Amazon $25 Gift Card +$5 promo be applied to previous orders?

I was able to add it to an order I had already placed.

Edit: The $25, not the $5 as I believe that comes later.

 

[DeathByBacklog]

Can the Amazon $25 Gift Card +$5 promo be applied to previous orders?

Pretty sure you can add the gift card to previous orders. But if you have any orders with the tax glitch, I wouldn't risk it. It'd recalculate and likely add the tax back on. The $5 promo would only be able to be used for future orders.

 

[FearMyWrench]

Non-gift card credit can sometimes be added to an order when you update payment method. When I did the tax glitch on one of my pre-orders before, it automatically added my $10 of Courtesy Credit. There's a good chance it works the same way for the gift card promo credit.

 

[Lexxism]

There will be 8 seasons.

Ah. A year or two of wait wouldn't hurt. Already waited this long.

 

[Conezays]

FYI, Amazon chat confirmed to me they will add $100 credit to my account if I place an order for the Rift/Touch bundle. Additionally, they said if it "does not appear within 3-4 hours to contact them." Will update once the credit is in my account.

Update: Next person said this was said in error but I provided proof of the advertised deal and what the prior representative said. They said the credit will be applied when it ships.

Haven't you heard? The tax glitch is dead.

Grey back in stock as well

WTF. Why does the retail chain with 6 locations in the country get this, while EB Games has that stupid cup

They only have 6 to sell, so it works out.

I happen to think the cups are very cool. Wish I was getting one.

 

[DeathByBacklog]

Um. No it's not. I had a blue ray movie ship out yesterday tax free.

 

[BTails]

Ordered a Neon Switch, I wanted that colour more. Call Walmart, and they're "trying" to cancel my order. If they can't, I just have to return it in store, which isn't a huge deal.

 

[Vamphuntr]

It's mostly a QC chain and there are more than 6 lol

Got a switch. woo!

Thanks.

how did you manage to get a hold of someone at walmart?

 

[BTails]

how did you manage to get a hold of someone at walmart?

I called and hit the button where it said "if you're calling for something else, push this button" and it put me through to a real person. He told me that the Switch is being sent straight from Nintendo to Walmart's Mississauga warehouse, then to me, and it's already on route to the warehouse. So he put through a request to cancel, but confirmed that if it still goes through, I can just take it back to the nearest store (6ish minute drive from my house).

Well worth the hassle for the Neon colour.

 

[bubaglobalj]

Um. No it's not. I had a blue ray movie ship out yesterday tax free.

That's excellent news. I ordered crash, applied the tax thing and was charged tax.

Didn't give me that option, i'll just wait it out I quess, hype got the best of me.

 

[blue_phazon]

Holy crap Neon Switch still in stock at Amazon. It's SO fucking tempting but I'm unemployed...

Think I'l wait until I can find a part time job before buying.

However, the fact that it's still up even after an hour makes me believe there won't be too many stock issues this fall.

This fall? Ya, Mario is coming :/

This fall? Ya, Mario is coming :/

Which is why Nintendo is going to try and prepare as much stock as possible!

 

[Max_Po]

Man its nice that Switch is in Stock... I just don't have time or need yet.


Thanks for posting

Hello,

Greetings from Amazon.

I'm sorry that you haven't received $100 credit.

I've checked and see that the promotion to receive $100 is on amazon.com.

As you've placed order on amazon.ca I'm sorry you're not eligible for promotion.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

Greetings from Amazon.

I'm sorry for the incorrect information provided. Please ignore previous e-mail.

I've checked and see that the promotion was available on amazon.ca as well but the promotion has been expired now.

Further, in order to receive the $100 credit, a gift card order of $100 should be placed along with those two items in the same order.

I hope this helps.

amazon pls.

Doom 3 has a 26gb update? Lol.

I assume you mean DOOM 2016.

 

[etta]

Ahhhhhh FUCK I would REALLY REALLY RATHER PUT THAT MONEY TOWARDS A 1080 Ti.................


I AM SO WEAK SEND HELP

 

[Hazu]

These deals are just depressing..

 

[DeathByBacklog]

That's excellent news. I ordered crash, applied the tax thing and was charged tax.

Likely because amazon did they "lowest price guranteed" thing and dropped the price 3 cents cheaper then the competitors thus recalculating the taxes.

 

[Hopeford]

So guys, is this a good price for a 1060 in Canada? https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487275 I haven't been keeping up with graphics cards prices and I'm drawing a blank on whether this is a good deal or not, but it does seem like the cheapest I've found so far for the 6gb edition.

Join the cool kids like me and wait until the fall for a Switch.

...If you're talking about the Switch that is

 

[Jashobeam]

Might just bite on that switch, dont want the hassle of hunting one down later on, it would suck hard to have Mario Odyssey in your hands and no system to play it on.

 

[etta]

Fall is gonna be expensive as shit though. New Xbox and iPhone and a load of games... but I kinda wanna unwrap a Switch on Christmas day.
But I could REALLY use a portable gaming machine for the next 2.5 weeks.
At the same time I wanted to wait for a Switch 2 with better battery.

If you already have an xbox and/or PS4, you can wait on the X. Unless there's some good trade in deals.

I'd rather have a Switch in the fall for Mario though!

Anyone with the FFXII $0 order (or people who actually paid for it) know if the steelbook is bilingual or English only? I know the sleeve on it is bilingual.

That's actually not bad. Kinda expected some miner tax on top of it.

Personally considering the the Switch price and the price of games preorder a GPU is a better deal to me. You can even get new release on the cheap through GMG and cdkeys.
