Canadian Gaming "Deals" and Discussion Thread 6: Sorry, We Can't Afford a New Thread

They gave me one and all I asked was for them to resend it if possible. I guess they did tell me that there's a possibility they won't refund it too but... worth a try?

Yeah, you're post was actually what prompted me to ask for a refund, but I wasn't sure if the fact that I don't want another copy sent would factor in.
 
Now that the holidays are over, my wallet didn't suffer much... deals I got :

- Bayonetta 2 and Rare Replay (gifts for friends)
- Megaman Legends on PSN (might try this game on the PSTV in a few weeks since my PSVita is now busted)
- Microsoft Band 2 (Was looking for a good workout watch for a while and got a decent deal on this one)

Deals I'm still hoping to see this year :

- PSVita
- Quality noise-cancelling earbuds
- High-end Office Chair (Steelcase / Herman Miller / etc...)

How's the MS Band 2?
 
The trade in value is bad idea. Blood & Wine comes out soon! (I hope you've played HoS already because that expansion is godtier)

Darn :/

I figured Id sell it and get back to it when it's dirt cheap. I went a little past Skellige, never tried the DLC, but I just really want Rainbow Six as I've been itching for a tactical shooter.
 
Man I'm wafflin hard on Dark Souls 2 on psn. $22.50 with my 10% off coupon that expires in a couple weeks. I want it physical but it's a decent price with no tax. And I'm doubting they'll be any good sales in the next couple weeks to use my coupon with.

I don't know how much you're willing to spend, but I was looking at kijiji, and some used copies of R6siege are going for 45$. You could probably sell your witcher between 20 and 30$.

Then buy the digital now. Buy the physical later on when you see it for a good enough price. Double dipping isn't a crime. If your fine with it for whatever reason and have the money to spare then do it.


EDIT:

Not a gaming deal but an actual Canadian deal none the less. Lids has 50% off all clearance items in store and online using code 50sale. I bought some hats for me, my niece, and nephew today. Free shipping to store too.

I'm looking at this one Pork Pie hat I can get for $6 and change if I do instore pick up. Mah GAWD, and it's $44 regular. Leggo.
 
Go check Superstore before TRU folks! This TRU deal is not the best out there!

PSTV was $12 and Dual Shock 3 was $15. So if you have a Vita memory card or a Dual Shock 3 or 4 it's a much better deal than the almost $50 bundle at TRU.

The Witcher 3 is 89,99$ at Amazon.

Wth with our dollar.
That's not an Amazon price. That's a third-party reseller price.
Amazon is still selling it for $59.99 (albeit they're low on stock which is why it's defaulting to the overpriced reseller).

My superstore had the bundle for $70.
i bought it anyway. My friend had expressed an interest in a pstv so I'll see if he wants it.
 
Just a question... is it easy/simple to cancel items on one order with BestBuy online orders? I was wondering because I pre-ordered Digimon Cyber Sleuth on BestBuy.ca and two other games in order to get the 20% off during their Black Friday deals, but I got the other 2 games for cheaper with Amazon's Black friday deals (30% off on pre-orders). Since I know the Digimon PS4 game is coming this February, is it possible to cancel the other items?

Yes, just call/email them but wait until Digimon ships.
 
Am I allowed to link to RFD threads? there's one in the Hot Deals forum that tells you about the 2 x 20$ coupon (staples and ebates) that you can stack over the 80$ deal.

I wasn't able to stack a second coupon, but one $20 plus ebates cashback plus cash back on my credit card and being able to claim the thing toward my health spending account makes it a good deal regardless.

Wanted to try one out since it was originally announced, and getting in on the revision seems a good time to do so. Will be interesting to see how long Staples' shipping takes.
 
Any deals on Uncharted/Nathan Drake Collection (digital code is fine -- it's for a gift in another city so digital might even be preferred)?

How much did you want to buy it for? The digital code. Do you have steam money?
 
Update on my Trails of Cold Steel situation:

Best Buy e-mails me back saying they can't cancel the order (I didn't ask for a cancellation though? Just a refund) and that when it arrives I can return it to a Best Buy store. Fuck this, now I'm stuck with a $47 charge on my credit card because God only knows when or if this game is going to show up.

lolol

should probably just call them so they can't pretend to not understand you

I'm gonna give it a few more days, not in any great hurry to get my copy so we'll see
 
How many other people has Best Buy not delivered Trails of Cold Steel to? I'm in the same boat, tracking shows shipment but no delivery and its been 2 weeks.

Edit: I wonder if Canada Post just lost like a shipment of them or something coming from the warehouse and they are sitting in some truck somewhere

I feel like it'll be better if we all called in at some point. Let them know this isn't a singular case.

(Maybe they'll give us a five dollar credit as an apology? j/k)

But yeah, I think they seriously just didn't send it.

I sent them another e-mail through their form because it's past 12am and their support lines are closed, so if I get another shitty response tomorrow morning I'm just going to call them.

Maybe the trail went... cold.
 
I think I'm just going to return my Elite Controller, because I can't get over worries that Canada Post leaving it in a mailbox in near freezing temperatures for close to five hours may have done something to it.
 
Yup. Most Boxing Week sales end today though, so hopefully it's still $50 tomorrow.

Thanks.

But do games like Rainbow SIx drop in price quick? It seems the game has huge server issues right now, and I feel like it will get a price cut soon enough.

Why do some games continue to be so expensive, while others seem to get cut down real quick? For example, Bloodborne is like $40, but a game like Advanced Warfare is still like $50
 
just over 65 bucks at amazon.ca. May be the cheapest price you can get.

EDIT: Not digital though.

Every time I come into this forum, makes my blood boil so much how BB Canada, Amazon.ca, Walmart and Shoppers Drug Mart rips off Canadian gamers so badly. I know things costs a lot in Canada, but when BB and Amazon US had this game for $25.99 US on BF which is still significantly cheaper than the price now after conversion, just see how it's highway robbery. Although our dollar is tanking and my purchasing power is declining to buy US games, I still wait for good deals and try to see if it's cheaper here or there. Wish Canadian companies would play ball to is Canadian gamers.

Every time I see you post in this thread I wonder if you act stupid on purpose or just are this stupid.
