There's a whole wall of NHL 18 but nothing else. Kind of funny considering NBA2K is probably more popular (at least in Toronto)

Was hoping Google would put out a mid-tier phone like the Nexus 5x (my current phone) :/.
Wow. An extra $100 will get you an iPhone X. I didn't know that Google phone is quite expensive.
Well it's online only, but I was just looking at the pre-orders and trying to see if it was worthwhile or not to get two games and then the $25 off. The game sections is very limited.My local costco has nothing in terms of gameslet me know what you find there.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Phone manufacturers are out of their goddamn minds.
Can't really blame them either when the masses eat it up.
Flagship models are all up there in price across the board. I haven't bought a phone in 2 years so I splurged for a Pixel XL 2 this afternoon. Working for a telecom takes a bit of the sting away as I get a 35% employee discount on my monthly rates.
Ugh, I want to finish it so badly, but I keep getting the CE-34878-0 error every time I start it up. I haven't tried wiping my PS4 and rebuilding the library yet, but I also don't to have to download and install all my games again.
I miss phones with keyboards and headphone jacks.
Kind of can because they're the ones marking up these phones as high as they do.

Guess I'm staying with Apple LOL.
The thing that's really going to kill me is the $470 HomePod though. I don't want to mix Google Assistant with my Apple products, even if Siri is inferior. So I kinda have to stick with the HomePod.
Maybe Apple will come out with a HomePod Nano next year?
I'm good with my $140 ZTE Zmax Pro phone that my brother picked up from the US last summer. Falls somewhere in between iphone 6 & 7 specs wise, with less good camera quality (even though on paper it should be better).
I'll probably be looking into whatever the current ZTE release is at the time when I feel the need to upgrade. Solid phone. Terrific price.

No headphones jack are deal breakers.
I bought cheap bluetooth headphones one, you could hear the bluetooth frequency!

My last phone was a Nexus 5 ($300)
My current phone is an LG G5 ($600)
At this rate my next phone will cost at least $900.
But they can't afford to include headphone jacks anymore. This stuff boggles my mind.
Its like when microtransactions, loot boxes and all the shitty practices from mobile F2P games infested $60 ($80 because we're special) retail games. No one batted an eye while Im freaking out over here over whats happening.

Yeah I liked it better when I could buy a bag of chips for $0.50, an extra value meal for $3.99 and gas was $0.67/L too.

I know you had to try your best to be snarky but my examples are from 3 years ago, not 30.
And you're talking about inflation and increased cost of goods. Im talking about missing features and the general public's apathy to that.
Buy a Blu phone for $250 unlocked. I like the two I've had

Tiny barbarian DX coming out on Oct 10 and still no prime discount on amazon...wanna get it day 1 because I'm thinking the first prints will come with extras like the other Switch Nicalis releases.

For those that ordered the SNES Classic from Amazon, and like me, received a dented box as a result of their use of a Bubble Mailer for shipment, refer to my tale of success, below:

Gonna be all depending on the CS person you get.
I bought a 3ds last year and it came in the same envelope everyone is getting with the nes classic and the box was completely destroyed. All they did was apologize and say they'll try and make sure it never happens again.
The digital store pricing for Stardew Valley is all over the map. I do love how some games on XBL (and Steam) don't seem to worry about exchange rates:
XBL/Steam: $14.99
Switch: $16.99 (lower than exchange rate? Seems weird for Nintendo!*)
PSN: $19.99
*Ninja Shodown, which released the same day, sells for $14.95US (0.04 less than Stardew) but $19.95 here.
I just don't get the way the pricing works on these digital storefronts these days.

It really depends on the developer. I remember the golf story is 21 cad. So yeah.
Wow, I didn't realize the U.S. price for Golf Story was $15. I figured it must be $16.99 or some weird number like that. Bleh.

I did a similar order yesterday (1 yr XBL, EA Access & $50 PSN Card) total = $113.00, but I haven't gotten an email yet either. Did you ever end up getting yours?

Not in Windsor, Our store remodeled and gaming now has no demo's and is pushed into the far corner.
More than an extra $100 when you include tax. This is also the 128gb.
Nexus 5 came out in 2013. The LG G5 was a bomb in stores due to people being aware of boot loops so sales were frequent.

Buy a OP5. Has a student discount (64GB comes to like $660) I'm happy with it so far.

Subete no aware
Are they still US only and charge crazy money to ship to Canada?
I feel weird buying an expensive smartphone from a company that basically has no support here. Admittedly, the only reason I would get an iPhone is so that I can just go to an Apple Store if I have a problem. lol

It was cancelled after around 16 hours of waiting. The email said something about they couldn't process due to card info and personal info.
Even though I've been a member for 5 years. Used the same card for codes in the past.

I would if it was water proof
And a better camera.
It's not Costco that is cancelling. It's code2go, I remember trying at Toyrus with one of their coupon and they kept cancelling. They don't want people to buy their code with a discount. I kept trying because some lucky people were able to order.
