Ah man, I was waiting and hoping that amazon.ca was going to have another sale on the Sennheiser 598s after I missed the black friday sale...

But the White and Brown Sennheiser are ugly as fuck. Just gross. UGHUGH.

You don't look at them while wearing them

So the only difference is colour, and the extra cable? What was teh sale price during black Friday?

And they're completely inappropriate for outdoor use since they leak sound like crazy so you don't have to worry about looks at all imo. With that said I like them more than the black ones since those ones just look like HD558s more or less which I already have.
 
Trying to call two different Best Buys, to see if they have any stock of X-Files, but neither has answered during my two (each) call attempts. Here's hoping they will later.

I don't want to bug anyone on a busy day, but it'd be an hour's trip for me and I don't want to waste any gasoline.
 
Any good deals for The Nathan Drake Collection?

I saw the code from the PS4 bundle selling for $53 on eBay with free shipping within Canada, but it was from a new user and I didn't trust them.
 
Pretty sure stores have carte blanche to ignore the phones until New Years. Too much going on to phone wrangle.

Even working at a small business we have times where we just have to say "let it ring."

It's crazy this time a year and working retail is hell. There aren't enough hands, literally, a lot of the times.
 
Got some hella cheap Holiday confections at Shoppers today. I actually had a coupon to get 3000 bonus points for $10 on food so it was even better.

Wish Nintendo would do a proper release of the regular sized N3DS, I'm so ready to blow 95000 points on one.

I'm sure that's true. It's just a pain.

I don't really want to spend an hour's worth of gas and time for nothing.

Saving my points for NX..
 
So anyone go out to the malls and stuff today? How is it out there?

I have to sell my vita to someone later so I guess I'm gonna kill a bit of time at the mall, I have to pick up something from Chapters there anyways.

No malls but it's dead in south Surrey/white rock. Supermarkets and car parks are dead
 
Checked the last couple of pages, didn't see any mention of it, but London Drugs has a great deal on phones. I got an iPhone 6S for $50 and my wife got a Galaxy S6 for free, 2 year contracts for both with Telus. The deal ia suppose to be for anyone with Optic at home, which I don't have
because why would I??,
but the guy at the store said that's not an issue because they don't actually have a way of verifying who your home internet/TV provider is.
This was perfect timing as the screen on my iPhone 5 was starting to pop off.
 
I had an Archambault gift card (I'm in Montreal) that I bought from a friend who had no use for it, and I wanted Mario Maker, so I checked their websites. Their video games section is gone!

I went to the store and all their games and accessories are 50% off, consoles are 30% off. If you guys wanna check, it's pretty sweet. They didn't have Mario Maker but I got Triforce heroes for 50% off. They had plenty of Yokai Watch and Mario Tennis (lol) and Pokemon X or Y? One or the other. I didn't check anything else because I didn't know they had 50% off everything until I went to pay.

What size? I've been a little tempted but two years with a 'preferred' plan costs about $1000 extra over that period. 16GB would be too small at that price point.
 
Went to Best Buy because I needed to get salad dressing anyways. They were completely sold out of X-Files as I expected.

Guess I'll just back order through Amazon. I'm not in a real rush to watch them, but figure I'll kick myself if I don't make the purchase.
 
I found my eneloop charger but can't find the batteries. Turns out the the only sale on eneloop batteries is on the charger+battery pack, making is basically the same price as the 4 AA batteries. :(

Geez. And to think, I was on their website buying music yesterday (long story) and noticed they hadn't had any online Boxing Day deals for years. I guess we know where they all went. (Though that sounds suspiciously like final clearance.)
 
May be a bit off topic, but has anyone purchased anything from the Mark's work warehouse website? I was wondering how your experience was.

Yup it was fine. A couple year ago. Winter coat. Shipped from Chatham ON I think? Purolator left it at a local pickup spot.

No complaints here.

It is final clearance, they're getting out of video games. Makes sense, because I felt like I was the only one ever buying games there. It's just the closest place from home, so I often went there when I didn't mind paying full price.

Definitely recommend that people go check the stores, since it doesn't seem many people know about it yet.
