Really? I prefer 30% off and not needing Prime at all.

I don't get it. Why do want the Yen to keep on lowering? It will raise the price that you will pay after exchange unless there's something here I don't know.
If only Prime is good.....
20% off the whole year with all new releases would certainly save me more than 30% off once a year with only some of them.
You don't pre-order everything at e3 and then cancel as you please?

bayo 2 isn't cancelled yet, but it should have shipped by now.
I'm scared to ask Amazon in case they cancel it lol

You only have yourself to blame for not buying it DAY ONE like any reasonable human being.

I didn't own a WiiU then
Neither did I when I bought it.
(I got with other E3 preorders)

I found out that I just owned a WiiU when it was released, but I was too busy with college at the time to get it back then.
I do, I'm saying E3 never has ALL the upcoming games. Especially smaller Japanese ones.

I'm pretty glad Bayonetta went on sale when it did, otherwise I would've kept waiting for a sale and miss out when it went out of print.
Sucks I had to buy Pikmin 3 at regular price. If only my E3 order had gone through.

I was afraid that would happen.

Ah. I've never had that issue. Always found that either Best Buy or Amazon would have it and in Best Buy's case during E3 will add a game if requested. Prime isn't worth enough to me in Canada to pay for it regularly and get 10% of a discount less.

Good luck. I guess it depends what time your order went in. The one I ordered was cancelled today though.
Are these headphones any good: http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000065BPB/
I need a new pair and looking for a cheap pair to listen to some hiphop to (I neeed bass but not that overbearing Beats stuff). My momentum over ears broke

My order is still in but with "Arriving 25 Jan - 27 Jan".
Hoping for the best but expecting inevitable cancellation.

That cancellation ended up being best case scenario for me. Ended up getting the last copy from that 3rd party seller, got amazon to refund the difference, and the game shipped tonight. Mind...at rest.
During boxing week it was 50% off.

So wait. It's cheaper to take a vacation flight...then it is to buy a game?

So while the dollar is shit, and continues to fall, I ask this out of curiosity.
Playstation Gold Headsets, do these ever go on sale? I see they're $120 pretty much everywhere, and I know in the past there have been sales (I just can't recall how deep those savings were).
Gracias amigos!

They aren't bass boomers, they're closer to reference studio cans. I have a pair and for the dollar they are absolute gold. Again, they're a flat studio style headphone though.

Seriously!? DAMN.
It it makes you feel any better, they're not very comfy, and I hear they're prone to breaking easily. I just bought them since they fit my needs at a low price.

Good solid info guys, I'm torn between the Golds and Turtle Beach 500P cans. I'm not in it for the best sound, but I like the lack of optical connector on the Golds. It's really just so I have something halfway decent for some online fun with friends.
I too am spoiled by the quality of Sennheiser products. The 598's are some of the best headphones I've ever owned.

If you Aren't looking for audiophile headphones, just get a decent pair od earbuds with an in-line mic
A weaker, lower yen against the loonie means a dollar will buy more yen. Therefore importing stuff from Japan becomes more affordable. A stronger, higher yen means the loonie buys far less yen, meaning the same product would be more expensive to import.
The loonie was getting battered all last year but it did very well against the yen up until very recently. Instead of importing games from the U.S., I imported more stuff from Japan last year. At one point in the summer we were past dollar/100 yen parity. Sadly with how the loonie is getting pegged to oil, that won't happen for a while unless the oil outlook changes very quickly. (Which it could, in theory.)

I want that 3DS bundle so bad but by the time it launches I will have to use my entire OSAP loan to buy it.
I'm not sure.
My friend just bought it at Lougheed EB and told me I should get it so we can play coop. I checked BestBuy and EB Coquitlam, EB in Pitt Meadows, Lougheed, Brentwood all out of stock before I realized I should just ask them to check their computer. It was out of stock pretty much everywhere I could get to...
I just bought it on Amazon, hopefully it won't take too long.
Edit :
Anybody tried these Kingston HyperX Cloud headsets? Thinking about getting this one, it says its compatible on all platforms and it's a bit cheaper than the Golds.

Yeah I saw that, but GCU is juicier. GCU is 20% off every game, any time. I did order off amazon.com some games that BB won't have like Gravity Remastered PS4 and Lucas amiibo.
Snagged a pair of tix! Thanks.
Maybe not the hottest deal at this point but Watch Dogs Xbox One is just $7.97 and in stock online at Best Buy.
They also have 30% off PS3 and 360 games but the selection was very poor tbh and it doesn't include clearance items and pre-orders.
