Canadian Gaming Deals and Discussion Thread 5: Much Ado Aboot Shipping

we don't even need a thread 6 tbh, as others have said deals simply don't exist outside of E3 and E3 deals get their own thread now

just make a Canada Community thread in OT and we're done here

but we'll die in OT

actually that's ok. with the way I post here, I already treat it as an off topic thread

the few regulars will stay, the rest will just disappear forever which is totally fine with me

Is this...is this really happening?

The separatists have their way and the rest of us are just going to merge with our larger neighbour?

Dayum, that's a good price. It's not wireless though, is it? iirc the dongle hasn't been released or possibly even announced ywt.

It is wireless to use with an Xbox. With a PC I think it has to be plugged in via usb unless you buy the dongle separately.
That bundle, anyway.

Might as well create a separate GAF for Canadians.
I'm only half kidding.
 
Wouldn't be a bad idea. At least we can narrow things down just for us.

I was actually thinking about the feasibility of a standalone Canadian B/S/T thread.

Had an amazing transaction with a fellow Canadian-Gaffer that stemmed from this very thread, so I'm down for this.

Multiple times in this thread, tens of people have expressed interest in a Canadian B/S/T thread. It's just on someone taking responsibility and making the thread at this point.
Not it

Almost spit out my coffee. Well done.

Just let Firestorm make it. He can copy-paste the OP which no one reads, and in 6 months we'll be onto thread 7.

I'll look into maybe setting it up if there's enough interest, but I'll probably need some help in maintenance. I'm not sure if it'll be as massive as the original thread.

We could copy the template straight out of the B/S/T thread.

Post > wait 100 posts for response > re-post if no response.

There would be a lot less activity. 100 posts might be too long to wait.

I would welcome a new threat where we can discuss all sorts of deals (not necessarily video games related) and B/S/T. It's actually what we've been doing for quite some time but not " officially ".

Also please no politics, no sports etc... That's why I think merging with the canada OT is a terrible idea.

IMO the biggest "problem" with running the thread is maintaining a rep system like the general B/S/T does. I don't know if there's a better/easier way to do it, though. Maybe some Google form shenanigans for people who want to give feedback that finds its way into a neat Google doc for reference.

I check this thread every time I'm out shopping. It would be a lot more difficult to do if it was merged with the general canada OT thread.

I know I'm not super active in this thread but I'll throw in my 2c. I'm all for adding in some B/S/T but I'd personally prefer this not be merged with either the Amiibo or general Canadian thread.

I'm rather shocked this thread hasn't been relegated to Community to begin with. That's ultimately where it belongs.
That said, we should still keep it based around deals and game discussion. No merging with those vile Amiibo horders or politics chatters, please.

The thread is titled "Canadian Deals AND Discussion", and we've done a lot of discussing here, as well as sharing deals. I say we keep things as-is.

My sentiments are echoed above, B/S/T would probably do well within the confines of this thread.

In all seriousness though this thread has been filled with some seriously decent information over the past six months since I started read GAF.


You don't pay attention to sports much, do you? Go loom at the standings

What the hell is this?

You better hope we get a new thread and everyone forgets you made this ridiculous comment. GO JAYS

I only follow sports that I play, baseball is out. :p

My aversion to adding BST to this thread would be joining every day to see the same people posting their same, very long 'for sale' post without fail. You can see it happen in the general BST all the time, the 'wait x amount of post / time' is not enough unless it's something like once per week.
 
well looks like i'm done!

But seriously though I'm feeling really under the weather and not up for looking at what needs to be changed and whatnot. You can make the new thread. After 7 years maybe it's time for change?

I'm happy to try making OT7 if no one else wants to/can? I seem to spend enough time in this thread as it is anyways, why not?

Yeah, let's not change the formula.

This thread is going on too long and now we're trying to fix things that aren't broken.

I agree with this.

never considered this, everytime I go into the B/S/T thread it's the same three/four users dominating the top of every page with their wares

End of an era when massive threads pass hands! Title of the thread has to be legit, not seeing many great options, nor do I have a good one to suggest right now. Also, no point redefining the thread now, we already did that during the Amiibo fiasco.
