I'm at my local best buy right now doing Christmas shopping and I found a copy of devils third on the shelf. Are they reprinting this? Or should I just grab it anyways? I know its terrible but I sorta liked the multiplayer when I watched it on youtube.

Grab it. Its a great mindless hack and slash. Don't expect reprints to happen anytime after places have sold through their stock.

Mine says January.
 
So the last time I bought a smartphone was back in '11/'12 and it was a Nexus phone. What am I supposed to do with buying a smartphone now, especially if it's not a Nexus phone?

I'm kind of eyeing the Moto X Play, but it's carrier locked. Should I just buy it outright from any carrier or should I find a retailer instead? And are there any reliable sites to get an unlock code? I heard that carriers charge way more to get it unlocked?
 
I've had nothing but luck buying unlock codes from eBay. It's usually the cheapest place to get them and it's within 24 hours usually after you provide your IMEI.

I love how I'm supposed to have Prime shipping :P

you can unlock it online for like 10$
 
Get it. Limited print run and they're over $100 on eBay right now.

Thanks for replies. I picked it up. If they do a reprint, hopefully its within the 30day window. Although I'm glad I'm not paying those crazily stupid ebay prices, it still stings my wallet when I think that I could have pre-ordered this for 30% off not too long ago.
 
Prime honestly isn't worth it. I've paid less in priority shipping this year than I would have for Student Prime, mainly because I make huge orders when they have their promos. Also, the number of mistakes they've made on those large orders usually leads to me getting fees waived.

Waiting for Amazon Canada to remove 1 and 2 day shipping to make Prime more... "valuable".
 
Awesome, I picked up Code : Realize.

I never thought I'd like an otome game, but so far it's one of my favorite VNs.

Art is first rate. Clothing designs are great, steampunky-animie Victorian England. The only thing that bugs me is
Victor Frankenstein
has beats headphones. It's 1853 London dammit! Characters are super fun, except for the demure heroine who is charming in her own way. Plot is a page turner. Localization is first rate. I'm really happy I took a chance on the game. I hope others do as well as I like seeing good stuff rewarded.

Tldnr: Otome>>>>>harem games

I don't think Koodo phones are locked, and they don't charge more if you want to buy the phone outright. The do put a little Koodo app on there, buy you can get rid of it. I got an X play 2 weeks ago. Such a great upgrade from my own 2012 lg phone.


Edit: my moto is locked, but I can unlock it for a fee. Sorry for the wrong info.
 
Hoping the steam sale doesn't suck too much because the CDN tanked. Dragon's Dogma 40$ CDN compared to 30$ US :(

Also yay Cold Steel shipped. Hopefully I get it before Christmas.

Good phone, bought it at launch for my wife from Koodo. Ended up selling cause she wanted iPhone. Got a code from UnlockUnit, took a while to receive (2 days I think) but worked fine.

I thought about getting the MXP, but it's still kinda expensive at $450.

I ended up buying an Asus Zenphone 2 Laser from Staples for $239 (Found $30 of coupons online) unlocked. It's pretty good, very similar specs to the moto x play. You lose quick charging, but you gain gyro which is more important for me.

Wish it was stock android, but you can get pretty close by downloading all the google apps. Though admittedly Asus has some cool features they added like a nighttime colour filter and a 1 handed mode.

Damn, that's one crazy good deal, especially since it's actually the 1TB Xbox One model. Still having a hard time justifying the console personally though since I have a capable PC and PS4 but I'm almost tempted.
 
I'd probably be on board for a physical copy of Witcher 3 (didn't bite on the digital sale) and Lego Jurassic World, both games would be good for the backlog which I've managed to whittle down to a respectable size.

Got a feeling that will be the first item that will be instantly sold out so you may have to get in line very early to get it.

Isn't $350 also the lowest price we've seen for the PS4 Uncharted bundle? It's missing TLOU Remastered from the Black Friday bundle but it's $20 cheaper.

I think it is but since its only 20 bucks cheaper than it is now, I didn't list it as I didn't see it at first. Besides, compared to the XBO deal walmart had, its not much of a deal IMO compared to right now.

But, I didn't see it at first while I was typing up the post. My fault.

I think it was cheaper on Indigo last Black Friday. 379.99 with 10% discount using VISA checkout? I remember someone who bought it.
 
I guess so. I'm not gonna fiddle around with this alternative method unless going to a couple Mcdonalds locations prove fruitless.

you definitely can't get Hoopa from Canadian McDonalds. it doesn't work for the same reason the workaround does, haha. they don't use that SSID for their free wifi.
 
I preoredered Cold Steel CE but eb's website only shows the regular editions for Vita/PS3

Is this normal?

I think I'm just doing some last minute panicking but still

They usually remove items from website after its sold out, if your order says the CE you should be good

Ok whew, thanks for the info.

Yeah I'm a bit nervous when it comes to this because last time I preordered from them they didn't get me the DLC code for Toukiden K that should come with the preorder until I went back and another clerk helped me out.

Anyways good to know that I'm fine.
