is that the cheapest it's ever been?
If you can't find one online, your only other bet is to check every local Bestbuy, Futureshop, Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, RCSS, Shoppers Drug Mart, Costco, etc for lingering old stock.

Are stores closed today? It's Easter Monday IIRC.

No. It's just a government/school holiday. Most businesses are open.
It's usually just banks no?
It isn't a bank holiday today, just Government and schools.

I just picked up Diablo 3 PS3 from Staples in Gatineau. Sales associate told me they were getting out of videogames (thread on RFD too). Not huge savings, PS Vita for $180, clearance games ..
Diablo 3 was $9.97 for the French version but I just tried it out and the game itself plays completely in English, only the case is French. And with game saves being transferrable to the PS4 version, makes it even better. Employee told me they had a lot more in the back room.

Wait, so the french version plays entirely in english? Does anyone know if this is the case for the Xbox version as well?

Hmm, beat D3 already but might be worth it for couch co-op.

I want to get a charging station, but I want the official PS charger to come out. What's the hold up with Sony and official peripherals?
Yeah, same here. Really want the official charger and the coloured Dualshocks
They're actually PS licensed products and feel like Sony products. I've had mine since launch and it's fantastic.
man I want that. Was it just store specific or nationwide?

In NA we have licensed products instead of the official ones. I don't think they will be releasing their own until the licensing deal falls through.
The licensed Power A ones feel great.

Nationwide, IIRC. I think it just depends if the store carries games or not.
I'd be willing to buy a copy of you if you can find an extra one. lol

I wouldn't bother waiting. The Power A one is decent. I was like you, waiting for the official one. Took too long, the power A one is fine.

Is it a physical game or a download code? I couldn't tell from the talk on RFD.
Sorry for clogging up the deals thread gang, but I'm at a loss here..
Played some pitch and putt in Vancouver at the Stanley Park course on Friday. Gave in my BCID to rent some clubs, played my round and when I'd got back they had lost my BCID. Three days later and there's still no sign of it.
Does anyone know how I can escalate this further? I'm pretty pissed about it, and my phone calls have got me nowhere. They've offered me a free round (I don't really feel like going back after this) and they've offered to pay to replace it (It's a nominal fee, or free in this case for me)
City of Vancouver site only has a contact phone number for the course, which I've been calling. But I'd actually like to speak to someone a little higher up about this if possible

In AB you can just go and get a new one, make sure you report the other one as either lost or stolen though. Don't want to be getting in trouble cause of someone else using your ID.

Just got back from Wallmart after picking up 007 Legends Wii U for 7.86. I know it's not such a hot game, but the price was right, and I'm in the middle of a Bond Marathon with my wife, so it seemed fitting.
I also saw a couple of outrageous prices on Wii games while I was there that I thought I'd share... darn exchange rate

Depends, what do you want out of it?
Do you just want them to be punished for it? You are unlikely to receive anything significant in terms of money because it's pretty hard to prove that you've actually "lost" anything besides the card itself.

This did not happen for me.

Yup, for those who were debating it during the sale, they restrict the number for the sale on purpose.

Is the pitch and putt private or part of the parks board? If it's the former you are probably out of luck, but if it's the latter you could escalate to park management or even the board members I guess.

thank you
I'm hardly looking for cash money compensation. It'd just be nice for it to seem like someone gave a shit that they'd lost my only form of ID
It was the physical game. The RFD post has a picture of the cards you can grab and take to the cashier to redeem for something (be it physical or a code). The Costco I went to didn't have those game cards but had the game sitting in the same section as the other cheap PS3/XBox games (i.e. Batman, Skate, etc.). They only had two copies and I grabbed the last one so if you want the game it's probably best to call and ask them to check stock. The item ID is 380307.
Hopefully you folks looking for a copy find one. I don't play multiplayer games but I've had nothing but fun with this one even though I'm horrible. I love the class system and the non-serious atmosphere is really great compared to more serious games like Battlefield and Call of Duty.

Ahhh, that makes sense. If it was download codes, it'd probably be easier to score a copy from someone anyway.
Canuck GAF, care to help a junior out? Also, If anything, Google can help you out with what you seek.
Speaking of Futureshop...wtf, my Watch_dog 60$ pre-order is not on my account anymore... I can't find it. Now I just upgraded my PC so I'm planning on cancelling the PS4 order and buying it on PC (if I can find a good price somewhere) but I just can't find it to cancel it...

Gamedeals in New West
One place on East Broadway called A&Z I think?
Willow Video Games in Langley if they're still around
Flea market?
I see. I dunno how the management works there, but City of Vancouver would probably be the first place to go.
In any event, I think it's more important at this point to declare your BCID lost and get a replacement.
What more do you want? A free round and paying for a replacement card seems like the appropriate thing to do to me.
Think this is YMMV or my local Costco (Windsor) just sucks. The one I just went to only has one Xbox One game (Kinect sports rivals). No sign of PvZ anywhere

How did you get it for $50? I preordered The Last Of Us Remaster and getting charged $60+tax.
some reason it was on sale for 49, i made a post about it over the weekend. they might have been matching amazon's deal or something.
I would rather get a recommendation from GAF, even though I will research on Google as well =) thanks!
Thanks for the recommendations!

Interesting.
On another note, is a 3 month old IPAD AIR 128gb LTE, pristine condition worth it for $800? Someone I know is selling it and I'm debating on it.
