Can't really refuse a package if it's just left in your mailbox though.
People have said that CSRs don't give free return shipping anymore, so you're basically forced to game the system.

Yes you can, you just go to your nearest post office and say you refuse the package
The Vizio D-series is great and cheap in the 40" space

The second they make it a general perk is the second I apply.

I don't think you've ever needed a membership to buy from Costco online. I've bought PSN cards and a vacuum from them without a membership before!
I am also tempted by this but dammit I don't need to be spending money on a new TV when my current TV is perfectly fine!

I keep seing Vizio pop up while shopping around, but wasn't familiar with the name, so I just kind of glossed over them assuming they cheaped out on quality as a means to have inexpensive products. If you recommend them though, maybe I'll go ahead and give them a try. There's a VIZIO D50u-D1 4K Ultra HD 120Hz LED Smart TV on Amazon, but the 40" is out of stock right now. The price is perfect, though.
Keep in mind it won't have HDR in that price range.
I have a D55u-D1 and I love it (my ossc is plugged right into it and it's glorious)
Also hdmi 5 has next to no lag whatsoever so one of the best 4k gaming tv
The Phantom Dust remaster is now up and FREE for Xbox One and Windows 10:

Some say it's a pretty cool and unique game.

Tried this once. They said they wouldn't take it.
Reward Zone Gamers Club is free to be a part of in Canada unlike Gamers Club Unlocked in the US which has a fee.
People were still shopping at EB even when we were getting 30-50% off games with Tsilon or stacking discounts at BB, so I don't think anything will change really. I'll get games at EB if I have games to unload and they have en enticing trade-in offer, and it is nice to get games release day rather than the next week, but there will always be some people that will just shop there regardless because they sometimes give out random junk like Mario socks or whatever and that's enough to buy their loyalty.
Nah, you don't need a membership for Costco online.
For HDR you'll need the M or P series but they only come in 50" or higher. I do recommend the P series TV I linked earlier today if you're looking for a TV in that price range and 50" isn't too big. Everything I've read makes it sound like the TV to go with around $1000, 4K, and HDR. Though you can't use game mode and HDR at the same time so the input lag won't be as little as without HDR.
I did it on monday... /shrug

But here in Canada they don't offer the same 20% off discount on pre-orders.
That's two different things.
Absolutely can, any Canada Post outlet will take packages within 14?days.
If it's small enough, write RTS (Return to Sender) over the label and chuck it in a Canada Post box.
This is a huge reason for me as to why I prefer Canada Post.
fake edit:
Canada Post said:
The thing is, that 20% discount, isn't even just for preorders. You can buy a game 5 months down the line for a 20% discount off the already reduced price. Preorders net you 20% off + a $10 reward certificate. GCU is crazy good.

Damn... With all the times Amazon has messed up with Prime for me, I'm chomping at the bit to get GCU here in Canada.
This is a terrific TV. I've been using it for the last 6 months or so now. Great black levels and performance in darker scenes, gets pretty bright as it is, and good HDR. I actually bought this over a Samsung KS8000 after talking to Karak (ACG) who tests a lot of TVs. Super happy with my purchase. It supporting Dolby Vision HDR is the cherry on top. Great ongoing support (they got rid of the HDR lag that was adding 15-20 ms on top before). This will last me for quite a while. If you really want a decent priced TV that has good HDR and PQ, this is a great deal.

Alright guys Im really pissed off at Nintendo right now.
I sent my joycon in for repair (desync issue) and got it back after a week. Well the joycon they sent me back has a loose joystick which makes creaking noises and doesnt rotate smoothly. Like, it clearly feels damaged compared to my right joycon.
So I had to call Nintendo up to send it in... AGAIN. I told the CSR about how inconvenient it is being unable to play for a week and now having to send it back in again. Asked if they could give me a bonus or something like an eshop code and she said they dont do anything like that.
Could have sworn someone said they managed to get a Snipperclips code from them.

Thanks, is there a bigger version of this tv ?

Weird, is there a case where the package is "lost" and you get stuck with paying for it because there's no proof you returned it?
The tsilon stuff was niche though. If Best Buy just starts offering 20% off without any gimmicks, then I don't know what you'd get from still shopping at EB.
Well, other than the opportunity to put trade in game credit toward Funko Pops, as someone said earlier. lol
The 55" is slightly different in that it has an IPS panel so is better at looking at from an angle but not as great head-on. The sizes up from that are VA like the 50" which is great from straight ahead but not as great from an angle. The panels larger than 50" are also 120Hz instead of 60Hz, but I don't mind as the 50" can do 2:2 pulldown which eliminates the judder in movies which is all I'd want 120Hz for anyway. Not a fan of the soap opera look.
No, the post office registers that you're sending it back to sender. There's nothing on your end and you can't be charged for it.
As soon as I refused the delivery on monday (since Amazon couldn't cancel the order before shipping it) the item was marked as sent back on my order page.
It's Amazon themselves telling me to refuse it btw, so you're not abusing any system whatsoever, And thast way you're not making false "damaged" claims on which Amazon will lose money in the end (and ban your account).
Be warned that going from 50 to 55 is an 800$+ jump in price.

I can sacrifice HDR for a cheaper price point. My main focus is being able to achieve 4k gaming. I'm having a difficult time finding any Vizio's under 50" with 4k - they all seem to be sold out or page unavailable right now. There's no rush, so hopefully some stuff will become available once I move.
Yeah, I was considering that TV. It's at a very fair price given everything it features, but I think that 50" may be a bit too big, especially if I had to buy it now and then lug it a few hours to my new place in September. (along with my other stuff) If I wasn't moving so often lately and had a place I was sticking around in, I'd definitely jump on that for the living room!
There's not that much of a difference moving a 40" TV versus a 50" one really. It's just a few more inches in width and height (it's 10" diagonal)
I was surprised when I compared the 40 and 50 side by side and didn't hesitate for a second.
Edit : here's the 43" version at Walmart https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/vizio-...ltra-hd-full-array-led-smart-tv/6000196976153

I'm gonna risk it and not get the farpoint bundle right now. Hoping to nab one at a rock-band like deal at a fraction of the price (even cheaper than the prime discount) later on. Don't have time to play regular games as it is right now and have a few in the VR backlog as well. Definitely won't have time to play this right now.
Patience is the mark of a true hunter.

My grandmother bought me Link to the Past with Canadian Tire money. Not going to lie, one of the highlights of my life.
Just a reminder today is the last day to get the first Blaster Master Zero DLC for free. You don't need to own the game in order to download the free DLC.

Thanks. Just remembered I had a $40 gift card for my birthday and with 20% off it came to $50 all in.
Can you redeem it via the web?

Not sure if someone else posted this but Amazon has Overwatch Anthology up which puts all of the comics into physical print.
I think you have to do it on the switch. I looked on the Web eshop and couldn't find it.

Damn, I was debating whether or not to get the limited edition but with a discount that big I couldn't say no. ($50+ off!)
Thanks, leeman!

Yeah most people play it on PC, definitely the best experience there. I'm a bit of a fanboy for the series (since 15 at least) but have never had a PC capable of running the game. It's still a great experience on consoles though, especially with the addition of mods this time around. They've been doing a pretty good job with the DLC too, so with a decent discount the Premium Edition isn't a bad deal. They usually support the game pretty well, and I'm sure there will be at least 2-3 more DLC packs released before the end of the year.

I don't have first-hand impressions of anything, but at a minimum, here's the Rtings review of the P-series. The conclusions should apply generally across all sizes except that the 50" TV is only 60Hz and the 55" is an IPS panel instead of VA. Couldn't tell you if the extended warranty is worth it or not.
Welp, fuck loot boxes forever. Always appreciated, leeman. ^_^

I don't know what store you were shopping at here - but this is what kills the WWE Shop for me. There's a lot of stuff on there that I really want, but the S&H costs are just insane, and there's no way for my justify paying a $50 total for a $12 shirt. My best bet is just going to live shows, and the merchandise stands there usually only have big names.Canadian Gaming Deals & Discussion 10 -
the t-shirt cost $12
I miss the WWE store they use to have at Niagra Falls. (but not the ride that was attached to it, lmao)

So Amazon won't deliver SoV until the 24th-26th for me. As I have Amazon Prime, I can get priority shipping. If I change it from Express to priority should it come sooner or will it just get delivered later?

You won't get it on day 1 anyway so just do a good old switcheroo(unless that's the LE?).
