Canceled RE HD and it looks like the discount stayed. Might have been promo for two games minimum.

Just noticed the discount is weird though. It looks like the total is $10 less than what it should be lol.

This is for my two FE copies @ 44.99

Item(s) Subtotal: CDN$ 89.98
Shipping & Handling: CDN$ 0.00
30% Pre-orders: -CDN$ 34.48
-----
Total before tax: CDN$ 55.50
Estimated GST/HST: CDN$ 2.78
Estimated PST/RST/QST: CDN$ 3.88
-----
Grand Total: CDN$ 62.16
 
Any Splatoon deals? My best lead is trying to find a Shoppers that still carries video games in Toronto. As I have a 18500 pts coupon if you spend $75.

Gamestop is cancelling all FE special editions placed after a certain date. I ordered mine in Canada the day they went up so they better not try to fuck with me.

Isn't that only in the states? Canada should have it's own seperate allocation of stock. I also preordered the first day it was available here right as the store opened and I had to virtually pull teeth to get the ride to the store in order to do that so they better not screw me on this.

So less is being produced that thought? I wonder how far the mass cancellation stretches across multiple relaters, if at all?

Well my worries are slightly put to rest.
 
With all the talk of our shitty dollar, and with PS VR and the NX looming this year, I'm just going to put this out there, because we never like to give credit to the few remaining good things we've got.

The Division Xbox Bundle (or any xbox bundle of equal value) is $449 CAD, and $399 US.

The actual exchange for $399 US? $582 CAD.

Things could be a LOT worse still. Hopefully Nintendo follows suit when announcing NX canadian pricing.
 
FOOD DEAL

Just saw the 1.99 for 10 nuggets at Burger King commercial

The one around black Friday was 2 games. E3 was 3 games.
 
I am surprised that PS Plus/Xbox Live hasn't went up in price yet. Couldn't people in the U.S technically save money by buying them from Canada?

Ideally, you'd want a store that sold digital codes for that stuff, and the only distributor I know of in Canada is Codes2Go, who sell codes through Costco and Staples (and probably others, but those are the two I know for sure). If Staples and Costco sell to the States, and the codes work down there (I know US PS+ codes have worked up here in the past but have never investigated the opposite), then yes, it would save Americans money to buy up here.

I think there was another online retailer that specialized in digital codes and sold Canadian codes. That could be another avenue.
 
Don't know if this has been posted before, I don't really come in here often, but I got R6 Siege for the PS4 on PSN last night for $60. I dunno if this is some pricing error, or if it's Ubisoft feeling sorry for us Canadians.

I'm surprised people from here don't sell $50 codes on the BSD thread for $40US. You'd make almost ten dollars on each one
 
Anyone else still waiting on their Staples $50 PSN codes? I ordered on the afternoon of the deal, got a confirmation the next day, and nothing since. I wonder if they're actually shipping them.

Physical or digital? My physical codes are listed as Out for Delivery, so they'll probably be arriving tomorrow.
 
Any good hard drive sales on at the moment? External, internal, don't matter. Need one for my PC, as my 2TB drive just died on me :(

Cancel your oder then buy two digital codes. You'll get them a few hours later tops.

Try giving them a chat if they can switch your order to digital code.

I don't really need them right away. I already have a PS+ card waiting for me to enter it, and I will do that depending on if February's games are good or not. I was just wondering what was happening since everyone else got their codes. I didn't know there were separate options for digital and physical.
 
I have about $50GC for Indigo/Chapters and was hoping to get a game with it. Do games ever go on sale on their online store? Was interested in one of these:

Witcher 3
Until Dawn
Captain Toad
Triforce Heroes
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
Kirby Triple Deluxe
Mario Golf World Tour

Any recommendations?

Not often, but every once in a while they have some sort of sale.

I personally like Captain Toad the best. A unique kind of puzzler. If you've played 3D World, then you probably had a taste of it. Witcher 3 gives you the most bang for your buck, though.

Thanks! I think I'll get Captain Toad or Until Dawn, was planning on waiting for the Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition.

Don't get any of the Kirby games.

Captain Toad is fun if you like a fun puzzle-style game.
 
Anyone want to go in on the staples ps+/$50 digital code?

My plus expires in a few days but I don't want to spend $80 right now. If someone wants to split the cost send me a pm.

I saw the sign above my local Burger King the day after I'd gone and gotten 3 of their $1.50 chicken sandwiches and a large fry. I wonder if the nuggets were on sale then.

Been waiting for it to come back, and plan to take full advantage.
 
I currently have Starfox Zero pre-ordered at Best Buy from that 30% discount thing. I'm thinking of cancelling it but would it be possible for me to swap it out with another game with the same discount applied? Or would that only be possible if there was a similar promotion going on?
