Is there anything worse than seeing a great clearance deal on Best Buy but it's sold out and they leave it there for months? So frustrating.

Still? Have you called or just been dealing with chat? It's so much easier getting stuff done by calling

Video cassettes didn't exist back then either.
Ah, good point.
I guess that's true enough. Still would have loved a physical edition.
Yeah, that is annoying. I did see some clearance games at a Best Buy in store (One that included MGSV Day one for $13) but that was months ago.
Guys, the new MGS artbook from Dark Horse (MGS 1-4, 800 pages) is up for pre-order on amazon and is currently discounted:
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1506705812/
$68 instead of $104.

Chat. I cancelled the order and just re-ordered it and should be coming by tomorrow. Going to try and get the 20% off still since I did the pre-order

Seeing as how the snes thread is 10x the size of the OneX, I wonder which stores will have midnight openings. (For the snes)
And to think some would want them to go away. EB games has been great. Saved me a lot of money.
Yup. I traded in 16 old ass PS4 and Xbone games (plus splatoon sadly) and my ps4 to get a Destiny Pro for free. A bunch of the games I had on plus or gold or PC anyway. Did the same when the switch came out. Their double value deals are pretty good.
I'm sitting here waiting for that Obduction patch. It should be pretty great.
Otherwise, hmm..
Star Trek BC is pretty good
Rush of blood was great (even though I chickened out at some point)
The inpatient is coming too, but it's tough to tell if it'll be good or not.
Raw Data is releasing on Oct 10 too, that blew my mind on the Vive, tough call if it'll live up to it on the PSVR.
I'm probably forgetting some too. But Superhot is my favorite so far that I've played.
You should keep an eye on the PSVR thread for what's coming and people's impressions on games.
As for price drop, no idea, the thing is still selling like hotcakes. Will probably depend more on our dollar than anything.
edit: also Neko Atsumo VR is coming.
And more seriously Zone of the Enders 2
edit2: Just saw you posted on the vr thread.
Got my preorder in for Cuphead at EB today. The employee didn't know the game or the promotion. Couldn't find the game in the system either. I told her I saw it on twitter and she went on twitter to confirm it. She went back to the system and finally found the preorder offer. It was under digital releases and she was checking under physical. I'll get the mug on release day. Hope that helps anyone that is also looking for the preorder.
Not sure, but thanks for bringing it up; almost forgot about it. Think I'll take advantage of EB 2x trade promo to get this since the last Layton game never really dropped in price, and this one seems like it'll be rarer.
Anyone want to try & save on shipping costs by doing a group buy if it's not limited to 1 per order?
Count me in
I just went to Ebgames.ca and it's already sold out. WTF?

Nice, although I was fully willing to pay 104 for it.

Yeah I'd be interested in this.
Not really unless you want to migrate your Canadian account to the US one. I did the opposite years ago when the dollar went down, but now I can't buy anything from the American kindle store.

Cool, if you're not already on the discord, join it so we can organize this there. Anyone else interested in a NieR Vinyl Group Buy (assuming its possible) is urged to do the same!

Thanks, is this just a compilation of all the old art?
For some reason it being stylized as MGS I - IV is not very promising to me >_>

I am in the market for a 4K tv... just in-time for the xbox one X.
With all the praise on this site for the KS8000, I finally been able to track one down for $1900 CDN (new) .
Is this still the best one or should I get something else.

Wow, wasn't there on Friday, I wonder when they put it up??
Edit: The listing is acting strange (shows in stock, won't let me checkout). Given that this is EB exclusive, and they didn't announce anything, I think it might be a glitch. I'll keep an eye on it, wouldn't be surprised it if was in stock tomorrow.
I dunno if this as targeted or not but I got a gaf ad for Shaw and there's a 1 year 60 dollar 150 mbps offer with no contract :

I had to look through my history because I couldn't find it with google

It's still the best one.
The fuck, it's like saying iPhone 7 is still the best one with the iPhone 8 out.
One, the new model is probably better, KS9000 or whatever replaced the KS8000. And two, the Sony X900 series is better as well.

From what I read ks8000 is better than the equivalent new Samsung model. Sony x900 is a different story.
If you are around the GTA area, a bunch of A/V stores at the CNE is selling the OLED B7 or C7 for under $2000.
Really? I was happy to get mine (B7) for under $3000, and I could hardly find any stock when I did.

Depends what you're looking for.
The Sony 43" x800d from last year has a better panel than this year's x900d. New models don't always mean better when it comes to TVs.

Yep, they don't advertise the price. You just go in and ask for a quote.
I got mine from Golden Electronics, Bayview Avenue, Richmond Hill, ON
I know people also got theirs from CNE for a bit cheaper at around $1800-1900.

I'm sure this is a repeat question, but amazon.ca is not doing SNES pre-orders, correct?
If you're still looking for a Nintendo Switch and have PC Points to burn....
Some (maybe even all) Real Canadian SuperStores got Nintendo Switches in about 2-3 weeks ago for their latest NO TAX weekend.. Here's the kicker: they didn't advertise they had switches.
Most loblaws chains completely gutted their electronics section early last year, but if you go to the customer service desk (usually where they also sell lottery tickets), they may have htem on display. If they don't, ask them to check the back, as some have moved them off the floor.
From my experience, they only had the grey joycon switch, and they had Splatoon 2 for $59... so the switch plus splatoon plus tax ended up being $521 after tax.
We had enough PC points to fully cover it, so it ended up being about ~$5 in environmental fees.
Good luck, when I got mine last weekend they had 6 left at my local store.

Anyone ever just buy this for yourself?
"Get a $10 Promotional Credit with the Purchase of $50 in Amazon Gift Cards"
Wondering if there is anything that will prevent you from applying the gift card to your account?

So is Amazon just not doing SNES preorders or did I miss them?
