Its laggy as fuck man, dont. I fucking detest my 6, takes a few seconds to launch anything, even the phone app.
And LTE drains the battery like a mofo.
Cant wait to upgrade.
That's a pretty bad exchange if they price it at 1399. It should be 1300 max if the exchange rate stays the same when it launch.

Just don't fall down the path of darkness and collect shoes and anime figures
like me
Also never got my COD WW2 Beta code, Amazon said just to wait. Got my beta off the Hong Kong PSN store. There's a Canadian Division in this game which is cool
The iPhone 8 is going to destroy me if it's as expensive as rumoured. I've waited 4 years since my last upgrade so I can semi-justify it because I won't be buying another anytime soon but it's going to hurt one way or another.
In this weird situation where I don't know whether to just buy the phone outright or go for a new contract. I'm in a grandfathered contract, which is relatively cheap but just barely suits my needs, and I constantly have friends who've somehow managed to finagle similarly priced plans with a lot more data and minutes via hook ups but I feel like I always miss these promos or never have the same hook ups.

Lmao just got an email from Amazon gushing over the $0.03 I saved from my preorder guarantee for Uncharted lost legacy that host shipped out today which I won't get until next Monday, almost a week after release. Thanks for the substantial savings Amazon. 😑

Amazon in Canada has turned to shit. From that random shipping company that will just leave packages at your door, to dropping the gaming discount... It's annoying. Especially with no other company competing with them.
Amazon.ca. Both Walmart and TRU said there would be no preorders.
Good stuff, for a couple hundred more, def worth it. The xb1x will last until 2019-2020 (power wise for a console until ps5) so wise choice imo.
Thanks!

I will sell my 7 Plus for $1000. $400 is a little more than $1 a day.

If you can make it 6 more months, wait for the SE2 rumored to be Feb/Mar. Hoping for 7S performance on a smaller screen, thus better battery, and $599-$699 for 64GB.
Or get a used 6S in October from Orchard when the 8 and 7S come out.
Wait when did Amazon state it? Did I miss a post in here?

Agreed, if Bestbuy's gamers club was available up here, I'd drop prime in a heartbeat when it's up. Honestly the only reason I'll have it next year is for all the $50 E3 preorders I have for 2018 games.

Don't forget about applecare+ and a case. I'm out. Unless there's some HUGE changes, my 6S+ is doing well under the iOS 11 beta.

Subete no aware
I'm still using a 5 so...

FYI PS4 Pro also comes with thumb grips (yay?) and a 20% off PSN card inside.
I'm really happy I didn't renew my Prime now.
I actually did renew it completely accidentally a couple months ago, it's really too easy and misleading how they had me pay for it.
I don't have any complaints about the OP5 myself. Fantastic phone.
Make sure they don't make you pay for the thumb covers though, I paid $10 for them at first.
I really hope Skyrim was at a better price now.
Does it have true HDR10? 4K + HDR10 should be sufficient for anyone, right?

I had the same issue. Complained to CS and now I'm getting it by tomorrow. Small victory but still pretty pyrrhic. Definitely on the "pleaaase bring GCU up north" train.

Does it come with a console? I can't imagine paying that much for a game (and I have the first CE)

Thanks but no thanks, too expensive.
Hey folks, don't know if people are still interested, but there's the Grey Switch model available on bestbuy.ca!

I got mine a long time ago, got my "benefit confirmation" email on June 11th, ordered on June 8th. I redeemed the code via the COD website and I just got the token code from Activision a few hours ago.
Yeah! Plus the PC will be used for a bunch of other crazy stuff, so it'll be well worth the investment in the long run. My 2012 HP machine has been making some weird noises and beeps lately, so I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to build it, haha.
I'd mostly use the One X as a Netflix/Shudder/CraveTV/cable input box anyway (like I did the original Xbox One before I sold it off), and that's a nuts thing to spend $677 on.
Got the CoD Walmart one just fine.
"For the love of god, please someone come see some movies!"
Just double checked and i guess i went through amazon bc they price matched
So i gotta check my emails again lol
Edit: and of course i cant find the code email anywhere....huh
Edit 2: founf it by searching amazon benefit in email filter

There is nothing but junk coming out new too - this is the dead time, people prepping to go back to school and whatnot.

It's a switch game so probably not.
Switch games hold there value well your implying? Thats good for me i guess.
If this game is releasing where are the reviews. Ubisoft wait til day of now or something for embargo
For those who may be interested, Terminator 2 UHD Bluray preorder is up at amazon.ca, discounted to $23.45.
In other news, ended up using that London Drugs ($25 dollars off orders of a $100 or more using masterpass) deal and bought Breath of the Wild + a UHD movie that I was planning on buying anyways that was actually priced a bit cheaper than amazon and best buy.
I was initially thinking of picking up a microSD card for my switch, but their microsd card selection was way overpriced

I grabbed this one a couple of months back for the Switch.

It's been great, and it was $26 or $27 at the time. Might be worth watching!
