Is Witcher 3 and Arkham Knight worth the $30 each? Just bought a PS4 with battlefront a few days ago so I don't really have any games yet.

I haven't played a Witcher game before, but I played Arkham Asylum and City liked both of them.

Both games are worth it at that price IMO

are we no longer embracing the tank

witcher 3 is fine if you haven't played the others, worst case scenario wiki the story just for some context. I'd get that for sure.

Deal? Maybe. Could be YMMV.

Anyways, Best Buy seems to have a 30% off games ending in .95. In-store only. Don't know when it'll end (best to assume it's this Thursday). Having said that, I can only confirm the following games, since it's not an advertised deal and I didn't check every game that ended in .95.

Legend of Legacy $44.95 ($31.47 after discount)
Fantasy Life $24.95 ($17.47 after discount)
Etrian Odyssey 2 $24.95 ($17.47 after discount)
Hatsune Miku: Project Mira DX $34.95 ($24.47 after discount).

I know the price for LoL and Miku were better back with the 40% sale, but that one's long over. And yes, Miku is $35 (the online price hasn't adjusted yet). I know some of you recently bought games that ended in .95. Might be worth bringing them in to see if you can get the extra 30% off.

I'm assuming you bought it when it recently released, but just an fyi for everyone else, for an extra $20, you can get a 64GB stick. Not worth getting a 32GB one for anything over $60.

This has to scan in store?

Also I tried bringing in my receipts and they said that Canada Post had to have delivered the games before I can do anything. Bleh.

You can buy online and adjust in-store, too, if that's what you're asking. But yes, the deal is in-store only.

And that CSR lied to you. You don't need the item with you, just the receipt, and how'd he know if it's delivered anyways?

She said they can check and that the system won't let them do a return if it's not "delivered".

She said it had to be a return and repurchase and that the system won't let them return a game that's not marked as delivered by Canada Post. Most of my games come tomorrow so I'm going to try again.

Alright, hope everything goes fine tomorrow for you. Not sure how price-protect exactly works, but from what I've experienced, it's just a refund of the difference, not a return and re-buy thing. Probably just got an inexperienced CSR.

I honestly have no idea. Was hoping to sell off my copy of AC to get the Gold version, but I'm fine with just waiting for a sale on the season pass.

The other games I can take or leave, even if having a Vita copy of Dengeki would be kind of nice. lol
(Would also be nice to get Fantasy Life for 8 dollars cheaper actually)
 
GabeN will redeem us tomorrow.

1080p 43" Toshiba TV + free Chromecast for only $250 at Best Buy. Damn. I wonder how many stock they will have.

If this is online I'll definitely give it a shot. No reason not to at $250, and I've wanted a Chromecast for a little while now. This is great.

Where can I buy/pre-order Gravity Rush Remastered (Physical) here in Canada?

Is it out of the question?
Click to expand...

Amazon.ca would most likey be the only place, however they don't have an entry for it yet. Your best bet (right now) would be to either order from Amazon.com or import the Asia version, which is in English and released.

It took Amazon.ca a very long time to put up Life is Strange Limited Edition which was announced around the same time as the retail release of Gravity Rush: Remastered
 
Sorry if it's already been posted but after finally coming out of my long media blackout for Episode 7 I see that the big Ralph McQuarrie set of Star Wars art is only $30 more on Amazon.ca than the American counterpart. If you have any interest in picking this up when it comes out next September you may want to lock an order in now rather than deal with the potential $330+ price.

EB just called telling me there is a shipping delay for Trails of Cold steel

haaaa.

I had a feeling that this preorder won't go over smoothly
 
So I don't suppose I can just walk into VGP and ask them to give me my MGS Legacy order? Ordered 3 weeks ago and I finally got it, but I open it and it's Infamous Second Son. I was actually dumbfounded and had to double check the shipping details lol

Bought Legend of Legacy, the limited Launch Edition, from my local Bestbuy for $35 a couple days ago. The discount was active on my purchase. If anyone's looking to cop one, you might want to act soon.

So VGP replied about my MGS Legacy Collection... according to them there was a "big delay and customers are just receiving them this week"

how the hell does lettermail get delayed by 4 weeks?!

I don't even....
 
Thought I'd mention that I just picked up the Lego first order tie fighter (500+ pieces) at costco for 40 bucks on clearance. The MSRP on ths thing is around 90 bucks I think. Of course, YMMV.

No Costco here but I could PM at TRU with a receipt or something!

Where is this deal again and for how long?
 
Stopped by several Post Offices near me, and nothing. My package is marked as 'delivered', and now I have to wait until it's been 24 hours to make a "ticket" to get this sorted out during the busiest time of the year.

My package is/was definitely in someone's mail box since I've received mail today and yesterday.

Fucking Canada Post.

but I don't have 45 to play through that shit so whatever

You and me both. My ordered the game from limited run and my package was labeled delivered on Thursday. Nothing. I have a lock box so I wouldn't think it was stolen.

I'm waiting for my dumbass super to review the camera to see if it was actually delivered or taken by some dick.
 
Ymmv but local Costco has uncharted collection for $19.97. Grabbed a copy. Awesome price. It was Coquitlam, bc location. No more cards left on the rack but I asked and they had some in the back.

I ended up driving down to the depot in my city, and they were the ones who had the authority or knowledge to make the call to the driver who stopped by my box. The driver went back to my community box and, sure enough, they had just put the key in the wrong box. Problem solved!

Try your local depot if possible, they were a lot more helpful overall!
 
There's a whisky that just won Jim Murray's best whisky in the world award this year. Crown Royal Northern Reserve. It's only $30.60 at the LCBO and selling out quickly. I had to ask the guy at the store to get one in the back, and he'd only sell one to me. If you like whisky, definitely jump on this asap.
