I'm sure it's a lottery, most memory will fail over time.

I had ordered the hyken mesh black chair for in store pickup today from Staples and I just got an email saying it's out stock :|
I go to order online and it's temporary out of stock
Staples is the worst
Now I see there's three in stock in a location an hour and 15 minutes away, I call to ask if it's actually available and no one picks up.
The chair has like 2,500 reviews on the website averaging 4 stars. But the most helpful reviews are mostly negative, pointing out how the mesh falls apart after months of use

This is correct, had a sandisk microsd years ago and it died within a year for me. Sandisk wanted me to send in that tiny microsd with tracking and they'd replace it, but shipping something that tiny was pretty ridiculous.
This time I got the Costco return policy on my newest one so I'll get to exchange it if it dies that early again.

Guilty Gears release is Friday and Amazon says game will ship Monday and be here by June 2nd. Rime is Friday too and no delivery estimate. Both games have supply problems or I lost Prime and I am not aware of it? :/
Was tempted to cancel Rime PS4 and get it on Switch but it's 10$ more...

If anyone buys bluray's, make sure to check out amazon.co.uk to see if they have a better price. For some reason stuff gets cheaper there quicker. You just got to make sure you're buying region free disks.
I got the Complete Series of Battlestar Galactica for $40, The Complete Series of Star Trek The Next Generation for $75, and I just grabbed all 3 Captain America, Age of Ultron, Guardians, and Dark World for $100 shipping, import fees everything included and that was a little on the high side since I had to spring extra for a 3D Age of Ultron since that was the only version that was region free. Good thing I have a 3d TV!
Pro tip: The prices you see include a 20% VAT and if you don't live in the UK, you don't pay it. It gets subtracted from your total. Add everything to your cart you want, see what the shipping is, and do the math. again make sure you are buying region free disks.

Rime def has supply problems they sent out notifications about this a few weeks ago.
Likely a supply problem. Mine was not showing any delivery estimate after an e-mail some time back saying they were having issues pinning down a delivery date. So I cancelled and went digital on PS4 (this is about Rime). Best to wait till Wednesday or Thursday and maybe cancel at that point.
Now, only Switch games and Ni No Kuni II are without release day delivery. How is Amazon with Nintendo game shipping, usually?

I was in the UK recently. Prices were ridiculously good at the uk HMV I went to. Picked up a region free copy of Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery for 21 pounds.
So lots of other great deals as well.

Thanks. Hmm, I'll see what happens with Arms and decide from there!
That would probably be overkill, price-wise.

Anyone know what the Rime Nintendo Switch price is digitally?
The eShop web frontend has an entry for it but doesn't list a price yet.

do you have to use them in-store? or can you now use certificates for online purchases now?
Yes, in-store only.

This happened to me a few months ago, and then again after Persona 5 came out. $70 in certificates that went straight into a $100 Steam card, awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah.

I used one like this for years. Still have it. Or at least one from IKEA that looks just like this, maybe not as high on the legs? Wouldn't call it sturdy, but it lasted me a good while. I switched to a desk a friend gave me because I found this table to be a tad bit too high for my desk chair for my PC.

I applied for a best buy credit card, may be interested in using the no interest equal payment plans, anyone here have experience with the card?
Seems like a great deal, but also realize that 29" is really high. Unless you're quite tall, you're probably going to want a good foot rest to compensate for the height.
I'm 5'8" and 26" is about the right height for me

Aaand just picked up a $10 credit from Rime since it's going to be late and amazon can't up my shipping without bumping the queue.

Need some professional clothes (some nice shirts and pants, maybe a jacket). Any fashion pros know of anywhere with some deals right now and/or won't bankrupt me?

I'm more looking for the deals side of things because I'm cheap and lazy! Although some of those outfits make me jealous that I lack a sense of style
We have the black version of this set.
It's been used as both a desk and a dining room table. While it's sturdy enough that it won't fall down easily, we find that it's a bit on the wobbly side, due to the amount of flex the metal legs have.
Banana Republic? Prices aren't too bad when there's a sale.

What are the chances of me being able to snag a Fire Emblem Echoes LE somewhere? I missed the Amazon restock the other day.

Subscribe to Banana Republic's mailing list and prepare to be bombarded with emails. They do include deals very frequently though (always 30-40%, sometimes 50% off).
Express is closing down in Canada so I picked up some good stuff at 30% off.
Try checking Shoppers Drug Marts in your area the next time there is a 20x Optimum points promo. That gives you pretty big "discount". Apparently they sometimes have them in stock.
That's what I was hoping for a couple weeks ago but I went to 3 here in London, Ont and none had one.
That 1TB is going for a pretty sexy price, all things considered.
