My Elite Controller wasn't supposed to be delivered until January 6th, but I just checked the tracking info and Canada Post has already delivered it to our community mailbox. They did so 4 hours ago, and I wish I would've known so that it wasn't sitting out in the cold.

Then again, it's 1 degree out there and the thing is wrapped in packing materials and in boxes. It should be okay.

Stuff isn't any warmer in the back of the delivery vehicle anyway. It's a controller, it'll be fine. If it was a hard drive or something I'd be a tiny bit concerned but even then I'd just let it warm up before using it and it'd be fine.

Man my closest Best Buy is the worst, it seems like half the time I use in-store reservation I get the confirmation email that it's on hold and then a call a few minutes later saying they don't actually have it...I think it hurts the store's numbers to not fulfill online reservations so they do this instead.

I'd actually complain if this was a common occurrence!!

Agreed. Hot chocolate is exactly where it's at. Screw coffee.

Happy New Year

I'm not one to really care about celebrating, because each year usually sucks as much as the last or more, but hopefully this year will buck that trend.

I hope you all have a happy and safe one.
 
DEAL but out of stock...
Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin (PS4/XB1) is on sale for $24.99 on Amazon.ca. It's out of stock but you can still add it to your cart on the right side of the page. Best Buy also has it for $25 for the next 20 minutes, I think.

Thanks for posting... man, that two for $20 list is pretty thin... though $20 off for Primal is a decent deal if you weren't able to secure it for 30% off through previous preorder deals.
 
Ah damn I missed Mad Max on sale at the MS store. Is Need for Speed a good deal for $5? I know it reviewed and is generally poorly recieved, but it can't be that bad for $5 right?

They have NFS on for $5? Link?

Never mind I found it, thanks. $10 store credit when buying it for $25.

If you're feeling lonely during the new years, remember that Tim Horton's is standing there waiting for your embrace.

My brother was going to buy it last week because it was "on sale" for $50 I think for EA Access members on Xbox Live, but I told him to wait because it would be dirt cheap soon.

$15 is alright.

Second Cup Hot Chocolate is my favorite kind. It's a wonderful delight I try not to enjoy often. Add the Whip Cream and it's to die for.
Click to expand...

Second Cup's hot chocolate is good, too. It's probably second best in my books. Starbucks' is okay, but overpriced and overrated.

I'm still a Tim Horton's fan through and through, though. And Second Cup is thirty minutes away.
 
I got Fire Emblem Awakenings SE pre ordered from amazon.com which is great but I've since moved. I've tried to use several addresses since then to send as an alternative but keep getting told that can't send to those addresses, basically any Canadian address. I'm guessing they changed that after the initial orders. I've thought about calling in or contacting them to change it but I'm a bit wary that they might not be able or willing to do that and might you know, end up cancelling the damn thing. That I don't want. I don't exactly trust it to go to the old place so any one been in this position before or have a good suggestion.

You probably should just ask them if they can change it manually, because if you can't ship it to your old address anyway, it doesn't really do you any good anyway.

That's true, I guess.

I'm just crazy and worry about bringing it in from 1 degree to room temperature. Don't want to use it if there was any condensation.
