Basically trade your PS4 for a slim, or an Xbox for the Xbox S or whatever it is called, for a $99 upgrade fee. The Xbox trade in stacks with another promotion, where you get the latest fast and furious movie and an extra controller with a system bundle (forza console bundle, or something else), which makes it great.
I traded in my PS4 for a slim. You also should get the 1TB system even if you traded in a 500 GB system, but YMMV. People have also been able to trade in their old PS4 and get the pro for 230~, but YMMV

I seriously need to do this before it ends.
I just came across this thread searching for confirmation - subbed for future reference;

At least I can still get Odyssey for cheap, haha.
You can copy save data to USB storage. I haven't experimented with it though so I don't know if it's a smooth procedure.

Perfect price point for Anthem in the future lol
Or rather, don't bother with FFE and buy yourself a couple happy meals at Mcdonald's instead. It'll be more enjoyable most likely.
Apparently Best Buy is going to start selling digital downloads soon, but no indication when it'll actually go live

I was hoping Amazon would price match but with SMT4A OOS, I doubt I'll happen now.
Do they charge credit cards when the item ships or once purchased?

That's a big deal for sales and such that PSN won't necessarily offer. I hope Amazon finally does this as well.

I did a back up to usb harddrive back when they had the PS4 Pro promotion and everything seemed to work great. Even took over my P.T install. Just remember to deactivate your ps4 before trading it in.
I bought the PS4 CE and they charged me immediately
Bought this for 55 CAD from cdkeys, still haven't played past the tutorial...
Thanks leeman.
That is what people don't get. It isn't the price keeping people from playing and enjoying. It is just not a very fun game. If you ignore a lot of the sidequest stuff you could get some enjoyment from the main quest, loyalty missions. But it isn't a game you enjoy as a wham-bam thank you ma'am. It is a chore at times, slog through tens and tens of hours of crap.
Early buyers got nothing but a few cosmetic items. I will never preorder or buy a BioWare game day one again.

Anyone know of where I can get a decent priced Beats Studio Wireless 2.0 headphones? Reg is $399, sale is $269, and RFDers were getting it for like $110 last year from the source? Then there's "recertified" but I can't tell where exactly these came from.
Oh man, now that would be real good.
Good, hopefully sea of thieves will have digital copy for 39.99 so I can get that to activate on my xbox and play on pc.
I wonder how much trade you get for a Kinect... I have an OG XBO with a Kinect. I am tempted by this deal, but I love the Kinect purely as an IR blaster. I am nervous about upgrading to an S or an X in case the integrated IR blaster doesn't work as well as the Kinect one...
Yep, getting the Play Anywhere titles this way would be so perfect.

Would anyone have any recommendations for ISP's in Whitby, ON? I just recently purchased a home in the area and move in the middle of September. I am a bit eager to get everything in order, and was hoping to see what's out there.
Would anyone have any recommendations? I don't think I'll be buying cable so we'll be looking for it to be fast enough for gaming as well as streaming.
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, I know. AAA titles are a complete gamble nowaday. Most hope they can release an unfinished product and fix it through patches and sell the bigger parts to you through dlc. Guess the system works for some.

Can I preorder the SNES mini?

Got mine today and they gave me a prime extension. I guess that's better than nothing.
TekSavvy
I asked the same. I didn't even see the NES Mini anywhere and it got discontinued. I'll never give a scalper the satisfaction so I hope I can get an SNES Mini somehow.

Apparently the issue is getting FCC certified or something, which is why it hasn't gone up for preorder in NA.
We still have Ubisoft Montreal and DrinkBox Studios.

We have WAY more than that.
my Astro a40 + MixAmp from the Amazone Prime sale arrived today without the MixAmp (as we all suspected.)
spoke to Amazon on the phone and got them to adjust the price on an order for the actual Astro a40 + Mixamp so I'm not paying an extra, but the downside is that it's back ordered for a month or 2.
happy that they're taking care of it but it took me escalating it to a phone call and some time to get it done, plus the wait.

Oh wow, they are giving you the actual thing for the same price? I don't think I care enough to try that though. lol
Go into debt, my son!!I'd buy a Switch just for Rabbids if I had the money
More savage for any Canadian made games to price the same as USD equivalent when they come here to take advantage of tax credit and receive our government funding. All ubi games should be 59.99 CAD not a penny more. Same we lots of EA games and others.

The Source has an XB1S bundled with the Halo Collection on sale for $299 (+ $25 off with the newsletter code)
Someone please reassure me that I do not need to buy this right now, and can wait until September or October to get a bundle just as good for the same price.

Did it today. The manager nearly scammed me out of an extra $30 though. He thought the $99 promo only applied to the Uncharted bundle and not 1TB.
Really tempted to get this. I also want Remastered but that's not going to happen unless there's a reprint.
Yeah, if Sony or Amazon doesn't reissue a reprint then I'll chill with the digital version. I'm not paying scalper prices for a disc. Fuck that and fuck them.

I'm tempted at that price despite its story and my current backlog of games

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Ask yourself why its $20 less than 4 months after release.
Not to mention down to $20 from $80, not from $60.

Man, I have this weird urge that creeps up everytime I see you post anywhere on the forums, to just avatar quote whatever you wrote, no matter the context.
It just fits in every situation!

You're welcome to avatar quote me to your hearts content as long as you let the copycats know they're not allowed to rock my Feature Length avatar.

For $50 I think that's pretty good. All the DLC is free too.
