Edit: I just picked it up to try and back up my ps4 before sending it in for service.

There's a WD 1TB external in the Best Buy flyer for $69.

Bought something similar for my X1 a couple
months ago for the same price.

Jump on anything reasonable cuz of the lousy dollar.

I might just hop on this. I could use a new WD TB drive.

I'm tempted to buy a $40 Cineplex gift card for myself to get those bonuses that come with it.

How does this GC work?

I buy one for $40, and they give me an additional $40 on top for a total of $80?

And do these credits expire?
 
BigJonsson said:
Why not? It's money on a gift card you can use to see movies, I see movies often so the bonus is useful to me as I'd be spending 40 at Cineplex easily

4 of those items in the bundle aren't something I care for.

Wish I could just swap them out for straight up $40 in cash/credit, to go along with the $40 GC.
 
Any deals on PSTV? I checked out a RCSS because a clearance sale, but the price was 49.99 there.

I'm hoping to snag one in preparation for Zero Time Dilemma

Of course as I'm posting this my ancient Wii U hdd starts to go. Glad you asked this question, now I may join you in this purchase!

Btw the Xbox one deal from Best Buy and the ms store is crazy good. 5 useful games and a 1 TB system for $399.

As a rule of thumb, never (ever) buy a WD external HDD, if the connector fails, you lose the drive (they can't be taken appart).

Go with Seagate (no matter what you hear about them, you can pick them out and put them into consoles/pcs)

That's not true, I bought a 2TB WD external drive a few years back, and I'm now using it as an internal drive.
 
Sigh I had a ton of stuff coming last minute from California via fedex international priority and it was going to hit today, but now I get "ship exception, delay beyond our control" and no estimated date lol, guess Christmas will come partially late. I got destroyed on the shipping charges too since it was basically overnight Cali to Toronto /cries
 
My WD Passport died on my Wii U but they replaced it for free. Their customer service is really good, they even sent me a Y cable when I needed one for the Wii U in the first place.

Can't you call them and tell them that since you paid for overnight priority and it didn't get through, they should refund some of the shipping charges you paid?

I tried, they said they can't cover the "beyond our control" aspect, and wouldn't get into details. I googled the response and sounds like they use that message for accidents/weather etc. And a few US stations reported fedex is like 7-8 days behind this year with deliveries o_O soo guess all I can do is hope it's not in a fire somewhere and try to hassle them into a shipping refund if/when it arrives.

Kinda sucks but these sales have really been cutting it close this year and boxing day stuff isn't looking too hot for us =S

Edit: It got traced in Memphis just now, but no delivery time still @_@ I found a site that shows the flight times and destinations lmfao and it leaves for here at like 4am arrives 7:30, there's still hope lol, it's like having gps on santa and hoping he delivers >.<

Wow thanks for the reply! I actually forgot to call and ask them but I'm going tomorrow to exchange my xenoblade copy so I can ask then. I have a feeling the gift cards will still be usable at Best Buy though

Sorry, I had to figure out my password haha.

Best of luck with this order! Even if only for peace of mind, it's nice to ask them. I'm pretty sure FS gift cards should be fine, if memory serves, they were interchangeable between companies even before anyways.
 
Looks like Amazon is already matching boxing day prices on video games (ie Borderlands, Arkham Knight, Witcher 3, New Order). Price match at BestBuy today for 10% off the difference of what BestBuy is selling them for currently.
 
KnightHart said:
Oh thank god I might actually save money this year by not buying anything on Boxing Day.

Batman at $30 sounds reasonable, but I swear it's been lower before

EDIT: Slightly off-topic. Withdrew money from my Paypal account to my bank account, and I still haven't received it after 2 weeks even though it said it should have been done last week and Paypal is showing it as completed. Shit, I need that money for this week as well to do Christmas shopping. I guess this might be RBC being weird, more so than Paypal.

In my case,when i had to sell my sony xperia on ebay,it took a whole month the for the transaction to go from PayPal to my bank account,that was back in 2013.but don'the u should definitely ask PayPal customer service.

So, Gamestop has Bioware Points on sale.
http://www.gamestop.com/browse?nav=1...e+Points,28zu0


I'd like to finally pick up the rest of the Mass Effect 3 DLC, but I don't believe you can buy from Gamestop's website from outside the US. What's a Canadian to do?

There's a thread for it and someone there is helping people. Otherwise, I can try to hook you up with someone in the States.
An issue that's coming up is that some of the points aren't working for whatever reason, so it might be a bit risky doing it when you have no way to guarantee your code will work.

The other thing is, don't support EA and BioWare and their refusal to update their old games to just take real money. lol

I got a package the same day in the morning after it arrived at Memphis earlier that morning

At one point the delivery estimate said it will arrive the next day even though it was already at the local sort facility

Which thread would that be? I tried making some noise in here but no response.

From what I hear, those codes should work fine when entered here instead of on Origin.

That would be nice, but after all this time, I just want to finally play Citadel. And luckily, I can buy an even 3200 points to get everything I want.
 
Yeah, that was the thread. I'll tell my friend to PM you and see if he can help. Good luck.

(Speaking of stupid BioWare practices, I find it hilarious that it's cheaper to buy the Dragon Age GOTY edition than to buy the DLCs right now)
