Best Buy is having a sale on some routers today.

http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/category/networking/21099.aspx?fullsite=true&CMP=EMC-ALL-160107-rcpt-fs

Does anyone have a recommendation? I'm in the market for one, currently using a horrible router-modem combo that Rogers provided and I'm constantly getting disconnects on my consoles. On the worst days even my phone can have trouble getting a good connection in the tiny apartment I'm in right now.

Small apartment? Apple Airport Express router. Under $100. Small, cool, simple.

The app to setup is simple too.

Ah, should have probably mentioned my budget.
I was thinking to cap at $150 but if Nighthawk is definitely worth it then I could probably bump up to it. But if I’m jumping up to $180, would it be worth it to go for Archer AC3200? It seems to be much more expensive but I’m not sure if the heavy discount is because it’s a bad router or if it’s just a good deal. Which one is the Archer C7? I can’t find it on the page.

BB may not have it but Amazon canada has it on sale for 90

Great router out of box and very DD-WRT friendly

Of course the Nighthawk and the other one are certainly upgrades if you're looking for beef.

That's Amazon.com =P
I just checked and Amazon.ca has it but it's only like a $5 sale. If Nighthawk really is that good then I think I'll lock in for that one. I looked at the Apple Air Express and it definitely is tempting at that price point but I'll look at the Nighthawk as an investment for when I (hopefully) move into a larger place.

Edit: Huh. Looks like Amazon.ca has the Nighthawk on sale for $150. Guess I found my router, thanks guys!

So I was browsing Amazon and I noticed Nights of Azure for the PS4 is 85.

http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B017GY07L4/

...We're going to have 100 dollar games by the end of this year. I can feel it.

Those E3 pre-orders will be priceless at this rate.

[Lostconfused]

Will pre-order just in case Amazon fucks up the price. Then cancel it.

1,125.35 for VR? I have no words.

Edit: Apparently it's a placeholder so...yeah. Still shitty though.

That can't be right!

 

[BadWolf]

Good point.

Pre-ordered for now.

1,125.35 for VR? Fuck off Sony.

In case you aren't joking, this isn't the real price. Just a placeholder.

 

[TUSR]

That price is insane.

Getting a OR here is equally expensive too.

 

[wachie]

Will pre-order just in case Amazon fucks up the price. Then cancel it.

So you think there is a chance it can be priced higher?

 

[zroid]

[ShinRPGamer]

Oh. Well then. That placeholder price is still pretty bad though.

 

[Ondore]

By the way, $1125.35 is a few cents over $800 US at market rates. So they're guessing $799 US for PS VR.

 

[trebbble]

$1125.35? Let's hope that's a provisional price.

 

[BadWolf]

Oh. Well then. That placeholder is still pretty bad though.

It's just a number Amazon pulled out of their butt.

No way PSVR will cost anywhere near that, it's price should be well below the Rift's.

 

[zroid]

Last time everyone was sure something inexplicably expensive in Canada was just a placeholder price...

 

[Lostconfused]

So you think there is a chance it can be priced higher?

I think that it can be priced at any number imaginable that isn't 1125.35

 

[thelatestmodel]

This might be the case. Amazon.ca is the most unreliable piece of shit ever for telling you what the actual price is.

Still, doesn't matter, I'm probably not buying anything except food for quite some time.

 

[opticalmace]

That's not a half bad idea. Done.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

I'd hope so if Sony wants this to do well here in Canada. Speaking as someone who is not that into Virtual Reality, my interest in VR would completely fade if the price ended up being that high. I'd imagine it would be the same with the average consumer.

We'll see what happens though.

Wait, what will happen if amazon has to fix the price? I might jump in on this with you guys.

 

[opticalmace]

It'll get fixed to the right price eventually. But in adjusting it if they ever drop it to less than MSRP you'll get that price.

It's how a bunch of people got Xenoblade X for like $17 on release.

 

[Sealtest]

Finally found a filler for my $11 Book order. Here's hoping this thing doesnt end up being anything more then $400 CDN

 

[Lostconfused]

It's how a bunch of people got Xenoblade X for like $17 on release.

It's also how you could get like a 50% discount on Madcatz arcade sticks when they botched that price when putting them up. Price errors are not common, but they sure are super damn random.

Cool, will pre-order and hopefully remember...

Any deals on range extenders for WiFi?

holly that gif had me dying. We just need one with PS VR now.

 

[Sora_N]

Can't order

 

[jayu26]

Yeah, it won't let me pre-order anymore.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Preordered! Can't wait for price adjustments and other fun shenanigans.

fuck me it's sold out already?

I was gonna pre-order for shits and wait for the price adjustment ; _ ;

 

[Sealtest]

more then likely they didn't mean 2 open orders yet and closed them

 

[Tiktaalik]

Bayonetta 2 $5 off on Amazon.ca

Go go go everyone!

Classic. I miss it when it goes on sale at Christmas, and when I notice this minor sale I get distracted and forget to buy it, and then it's gone again.

Looks like it's sold out everywhere at this point.

 

[kevin1025]

Nooo, I missed the VR fun

 

[DeathByBacklog]

Thinking it's all a precautionary price. No way it sells for that much. But after the fightstick price error, it's not surprising that amazon is pricing pre-orders on the high end. They can always adjust the price down post sale. They can't adjust the price up.

 

[farisr]

Damn it, I wish I was in time to preorder. In hopes for some weird pricedrops when they were gonna adjust it to the actual price.

 

[doctorcdcs]

Nooo, I missed the VR fun

me too


awww

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Ordered SMT4 from amazon for $20 and they sent me the limited edition, seriously is there any better feeling than getting a surprise limited edition?

Like I said in the other thread, it's most likely a bundle price.

$399 USD - PS4
$399 USD - PSVR

$798 USD

$798 USD = $1123 CAD

Amazon had it for $1125 CAD

I am calling it. PSVR is $399 USD.
