Thank you :)

If I buy the NDC bundle on indiegogo on the 25th, do I get 10% off with Visa checkout even though I have a Mastercard ?

All signs point to yes:

With Visa Checkout there’s no need to fill out your payment and shipping info every time you make a purchase. All you have to do is register any of your major credit, prepaid or Visa debit cards once.

$500 for a 32 gb Surface 3 from Amazon/Best Buy, is it worth it st that price? Still seems priced too high
Click to expand...

32gb is very limiting. Buddy uses a 32gb windows 8.1 (now 10) laptop for basic office tasks, and it's very annoying for her to constantly get warning about running out of space. Free cloud services only give a limited amount too. So she uses a portable storage device which is also annoying to carry around.
 
Canada Post, gimme my Trails in Cold Steel now. Has this happened to anyone? It's been like that for days. The stuff I ordered from Amazon yesterday and that was shipped last night arrived today.

Ridiculous!

(Do you think they lost my package and that's why it's been stuck between In Transit and Delivered for days?)

Does it not have a microSD slot?
Click to expand...

Win 32gb laptop experience: I couldn't get Dropbox nor one drive to play nice with an SD card. iTunes was fine at first but then would keep writing subsequent iPhone backups to the HDD, like it wouldn't overwrite the previous SD card backup.

Also the Win 10 upgrade failed because the install would remove the card reader drivers (I think) so it kept thinking the reader was disconnected mid way through.

same, best buy shipped it on Monday and it's still not here. canada post just overwhelmed this time of year, probably not a big deal.
 
Thanks for the heads up about the Walmart deals! I was checking the website last night and thought that maybe the deals were going to come up on December 26 instead....

Got myself that Tom Nook and Majora's Mask. 6 Dollars off that am**bo price sure is great....
 
gonna hit Walmart in a bit. don't have enough in my cart to hit free shipping and too lazy to do any returns. I better see that microSD card there >_>

Can I apply that 10% visa checkout people were mentioning above on a bestbuy purchase?

If so, blessed
Click to expand...

nope. I've only ever seen the 10% visa crap on Chapters
 
Walmart is actively updating. I bought some SD cards and they were appropriately priced for boxing day but the PS4 Uncharted was not yet updated. 20 minutes later the PS4 was. BD shopping is done for me.

I plan on painting my old PS4 like the 20th Anniversary and see how it goes.

Bought games during the Black Friday on the PSN. They are all in english. My console is in french. What the problem?

They might not have a french translation. They default to english in that case.

Don't tempt me!

The Xbox One Halo controllers are also supposed to go on sale for the same price, but haven't yet.

I don't need any controllers, but want them. I kind of want the Vader one as well, lol.
Click to expand...

Hah, I know how you feel. I had to order one seeing as how it's Walmart exclusive. Figured these would be discontinued before there was even a chance they'd be on sale. Now I just need to find a deal on the BLOPS 3 one...
 
The controller went back up in price anyway. I kind of like the controller. Looks weird.

Still considering that glacier white. I wish it were 39.99 instead.

As long a the card is added to your account, doesn't matter which you pay with as long as you check out with visa checkout.

Ship to CP pick up? Are boxing day prices live in store already?

It's probably just hectic there, nothing much to be done but wait a few more days. My xenoblade arrived the day after something else, even though it shipped at least a week earlier. At one point they were at the same sorting facility but they moved the latter package a day or two before xenoblade left, even though it got there first.

Out of curiosity, did both packages ship from the same city?
 
Uhh I had a package delivering today and the tracking says delivered but it says Richmond. I live in Vancouver though.

I hope it's a glitch.

Aw shit, order cancellation incoming?
Click to expand...

95 percent of my orders on Walmart.ca are cancelled.

When I call them they say that your credit card rejected the payment, then I call my credit card company and they say that all transactions were approved with an 4 digit transaction code... I go back to Walmart.... sorry we do not know hopefully it won't happen again .... and it does .....

Well, according to CP I live in Burnaby when I live in Vancouver, and they have never misdelivered anything yet.
 
So my quick glance is that Boxing day is pretty meh for both games and electronics, no? I mean I've seen the same prices as our Black Friday sales...
 
There's a part of me that's really glad most of my Boxing Day spending will somehow be through a PSN flash sale.

I'm also not expecting much from any of the clothing retailers. Maybe a Fall/Spring jacket from whoever, since it'll probably be more useful than the winter one I just bought.
