Oh shit thanks for telling me, I'ma go trade it in before July 31 then. Those 3 weeks are gonna be painful, but it's worth it for the tax free thing I guess. So then I'll only need to pay the difference between $399*1.13 and 268*1.13, which is about $150?

Tax free is only on the 268 portion. The rest you get taxed on. I believe I paid $171 after all was said and done.
i traded for the 500gb version, but the new bundles were announced today.
EB games Canada doesn't have any of the bundles on their site. They just added the vanilla 500gb and 1tb consoles to their site today. That can't be right? They'll get destroyed by other retailers. I'll have to call and see.
I was buying madden 17 anyway, so I'll save money and get the 1tb version if they do get the madden bundle.
The GameStop.com site has it, so it has to just be that it hasn't been updated
Edit I just checked, it was 263 with the Kinect total for the trade.
Let me know what they say about the bundles when you go in
Yea they should add the other bundles too, it probably just takes a few days. So how did you get the $263, was it the "switch your style" promo and used it towards a pre-order? Or was that just a straight trade in value without the promotion?
I'll head in the store tomorrow I think, the "switch your style" promotion lasts until the 31st.

The Switch Your Style promo usually gets renewed monthly. It's been around for almost a year. Though the Xbox One did recently drop from $250 to $225. You never know when they might end it so try to do it before July 31st.
I am not sure if I might do it. The 2gb size will be nice but I will just be upgrading in a year anyway.

Did anyone else get an email from amazon canada this morning that said it was an order update but said nothing about the order?
The order # is for my Pokemon Sun/Moon order that also has my Spider-Man/Detroit and Pokemon Plus. I'm guessing the email was to tell me my delivery date has changed but the system screwed up.

Just like the good old days where Amazon would give us all daily updates on Star Fox for 6 months

Good purchase! P series is awesome. At 65" it is well worth it to go 4k/HDR
I dunno, I'm getting a Scorpio anyway but the S I am getting for design reasons. I will want to keep it, I always regretted selling my Xbox 360 S to fund the purchase of the new gen consoles, which was during university years so it was more economically efficient.
Your best bet for that will always be Amazon. I've only seen place in stores sell those super small ones with very little battery life, and for pricey.
This is the one I own which has treated me well, but there are tons on amazon.ca
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00S0OHKII/
edit: this one has a larger battery and can charge 2 devices at once: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00EA1P8OI/
How's this one for $18.40?

8800mAH + 2 USB
Probably. I can only vouch for the Aukey one I have but I'm sure it's fine. See if it's listed on amazon and read some reviews from there.
edit: different model, same company: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00HPQ0XVS/

After recently having Anker suggested to me on this page I can confirm...they make amazing products. Many of the chargers just recently went up in price. Run a search on camelcamelcamel and see where the price is at before you commit.
What is going on, huh? We'll be bale to pre order the NX first it seems! haha
Watch the mini sell more then the NX. :-O
I ordered a bunch of movies a few days ago and they shipped them Canada Post lettermail.

Thanks.
So yeah, I ended up doing the xbox one trade in towards the 500gb S. I can do a month without it.
225 is actually a good deal, seeing as even on ebay (which typically sells higher than kijiji) a lot of used systems are being sold for less than 220. Not to mention that 225 is really 254.24 when you factor in taxes over here. Great deal if you were planning on buying a new system.

For a loose cart with no pictures in a market full of bootlegs...
Stick with Aukey or Anker imo. I love Anker but the 10k one I got for $26 is now $66 probably due to selling out to Pokemon GO demand... I'd grab the Aukey.
It's amazon, they're decent about claims no?
I can buy a box and customize my own box art which I planned to do anyway.

Yeah like I mentioned. They all recently went up in price. But it's not Anker that is selling them at those prices. It's 3rd party sellers with jacked up prices. Seems like Anker is all sold out of their stock on amazon at the moment. I went nuts with stuff I bought from them though. I wanted to get the PowerCore 20000 with Quick Charge but thought at the time I could hold off at a better price as it was selling for $60 and had been as low as $29 back in January. It's now sitting at $140 through third party sellers. Pokemon Go Effect.
I *finally* did a live chat with Amazon about my Poké Sun Moon orders
They actually told me that the issue with my order had already been escalated to the Promotions team, even though I had never contacted them before, so I guess I really was supposed to have the discount applied already.
The CS agent just told me he marked the issue with high priority and I SHOULD get an email from Amazon within 2 business days. So hopefully that will be that. Really don't want to have to talk to them about this again...

Everyone knows that ain't happening
Yeah region locked
No luck on Kijiji? I think you can just run cfw and it'll be rf. As for installing CFW, that's something else entirely.
I've seen them for 80-120. XLs for 150.

I have a copy I'm looking to sell actually, doesn't have the PokeWalker though. I didnt realize this game still commanded such a high price. I think I paid $40 back in the day.

I got my copy of Heart Gold back this summer but still haven't beaten it. I'd given it away.
It still has the box and Pokewalker.

Got something like that for Saga Vol 6 last month. Got it two week later. It's basically them not knowing when they'll get their stock.
Hopefully that's the case. The last time I had this issue was with Godzilla PS4, and I ended up getting it around five weeks later.

Uncharted 4 is $49.99 on amazon.ca
Since my preorder didnt go through (where I would have got it at $45 + tax) figured now is as good at time as any to grab it.

They didn't say anything about it being the Halo Bundle?
They still don't have the bundles on their site but they took the 500gb and 1tb down.
Posting this here one last time cause I don't want to spam this thread since it's also in the B/S/T thread but just in case somebody missed it the first time and because it's a Canadian only thing.
This is for CANADA ONLY
I have a
Gigabyte GTX 770 2GB WINDFORCE GV-N77OC for sale.
Selling for 150$ CAN shipping included

The 500GB and 1TB are still on the site.
And no, the guy working there didn't even know that there were multiple versions of the S. He had to show me the sku listings so I could tell him which one I wanted. it just said 500GB on the screen, no indication of a special bundle or anything, whereas the 2TB had the launch and Gears edition listed. I did ask the guy if there'd be any issues switching over my order to the halo bundle if it happens, he said there shouldn't be any problems.
Also, not sure if anything will come from this, but I hope so.
Does anyone know the trade in value of a 1TB Xbox One? I see the posts saying $225 toward an Xbox One S, but how much can I get without putting it towards another console? I recently built a gaming pc so I'm considering selling or trading the Xbox One before the value completely tanks.
