I'm wearing my Mario socks right now, I laughed when I saw them bundled with the game
Amazon has the PSVR Core Bundle (just the headset) for $503.50. Best Buy still has it for full price, so you could likely take advantage of their price match - 10% of the difference policy. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01A9ENM6U/

Got my ship notice for the NES mini. Looks like things went through even with all the chaos.

Most people got their cancelled, so...
Walked back into work after picking it up from EB and gave them to the first person who said yes when I offered them. Only took asking 2 people. Haha
They got me on the socks. I was like dang I got two nieces and only one pair of socks. I can't give one pair to one kid and nothing for the other kid. So I paid 9.99$ for the second pair of socks . Got the princess socks for the second pair. Most expensive pair of socks I ever bought. Dang Nintendo tax
Yep, they were giving them out to anyone that pre-ordered. Go back and demand satisfaction!

If someone gave out gamer pants, you could get a wardrobe exclusively from EB Games.
I wish they had different sizes. My son would love Mario socks. Me? I'm not so jazzed about them.
Still, given the rate kids grow at he should be wearing them in a few months.

I still have the NES in cart at best buy, i'm I still able to use the delete something trick?
What are the deal with these socks? I picked up my preorder from EB Games and I was surprised to get them, lol.
I feel bad though.
While I was picking up my order, the girl that was helping me out was trying to sell the $3 extra warranty on the game and I politely said "I think I'm okay..." The conversation quickly went south and she handed my game with the utmost silence.
Now, I don't know how these things work and I'm pretty sure she HAS to say that as per like company policy or whatever but I just feel like I've been guilt-tripped by the whole situation. Is there like a quota that they have to hit to keep to their job, because I would have totally considered buying it if it meant throwing them a bone.
Most of the time that I've been there, the dudes that were helping me before offered me the warranty but they were cool about it when I declined. This one just felt different, like there was something on the line. I don't know.

They were having a raffle for some steering wheel accessory if you bought the game protection at the location near me
I really hope that's not the case.

Be like, Really? Maybe I should just buy my games digitally then.

It was the same with 3DS games. The amount of times I was warned about my non-existent dog accidentally chewing on the cartridge, lmao.
Just to clarify I was kidding. I've never worked at EB, but did work at retail, and when you upsell, you gotta be polite and smile and all that. Once you're done with the upsell, you can relax, which can come off as suddenly becoming quite and solemn. That's probably what happened.
Though if she's not there the next time you go, you know what happened.
they sell thongs now?
Maybe I'm just taking this too personally but this whole ordeal made me feel like I actually stepped on somebody's feelings, if that makes any sense.
Anyways, in the past hour and half, I have just realized that I'm not good at Mario Kart at all lol.

SDM points arent expiring yet right? i thought i heard something on rfd last year sdm might be getting rid of the optimum system?
At about the end of last year they extended the program indefinitely, so there's no end to the program planned for anytime soon. I believe we're supposed to get about a year's notice to use our points if they change their mind and decide to end it.

got it all sorted, they originally tried to only refund me the difference of the proper prime discount which was $6.70 , but after a discussion about taxes i got the extra $0.79 for a total refund of $7.49. its the principle of things, ya know
Anyone using the Rogers Gigabit Ignite thingie? The router seems pretty shitty at dealing with multiple devices, and my own router is an older Linksys EA3500 and doesn't max out my connection (about 200Mbps out of the 900-1000Mbps that the Rogers modem/router gives me on an Ethernet connection).
I was wondering if I should go for a beefier Linksys or Netgear? I heard Acer is pretty good for routers as well?

Netgear nighthawk and Apple Extreme are both fine choices. Around $200 new, $150 used (thanks CDN $).
The Rogers router is so bad. My connection was very intermitent on it even with Gigabit. Called them to disable it, as I always do.
I'm using an Asus AC-68U. I've had it for 3 years now and it's been rock solid.

Hmmmmm, the AC1900 or AC3200 look good.
Yea my connection drops at least twice a day, but I think that's more to do with a faulty cable so they'll have to come fix that, butcan't I just disable the WiFi myself? In the 192.168.0.1 page.
