Anyone see Doritos Guacamole anywhere?

I saw it was back as a limited time thing (after more than 10 years I believe). Bought a bag from No Frills thinking Id grab more later, went back the next week and they were gone. Havent seen any since.

It makes no sense because Doritos Guac is by far their best flavour.

FFS same here. I got them from 7/11 and now I can't find them anywhere.

I'm so thirsty for these things that I buy the garbage collisions bags that are 1/2 guac and 1/2 spicy wings or whatever garbage that only stands to pollute the guacamole goodness.

Damnit, the Farpoint+Aim bundle is now showing as "Currently unavailable" on Amazon. I was waiting for reviews before considering to order it.

What was Amazon's price for it?

It looks like Mass Effect Andromeda is permanently $49.99 on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.ca/Mass-Effect-Andromeda-Playstation-Standard/dp/B00ZPZQIE2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494876848&sr=8-1&keywords=mass+effect

Still $79.99 at Best Buy currently. Or are they just messing with prices rather than showing a sale?

Amazon.ca gets weird with MSRPs. I go to BestBuy.ca as my source.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if ends up at $49.99 permanently by end of month.

Inexplicably, the PC version is still $79.99, which is what leads me to think sale. If Origin/PC retail price drops to $49.99, though, then I guess we'll know for sure!

It was on sale last week or the week before for that price, it kind of looks like Amazon just left it there, haha. I'm holding out for a $20-30 Black Friday sale, this summer is way too packed to jump into it right now.

I heard about Amazon having Super Mario Odyssey going for 99.99$... I thought it was a pricing error. BUT EB Games and BestBuy also have SMO for 99.99$. Are we doomed?

Well, if you mean essentially save the Pokemon you have from X / Y, you can download the Pokemon Bank, send all your Pokemon up to it, then start a game of Pokemon Sun / Moon and bring all the Pokemon into that game. Just keep in mind that once Pokemon enter Sun / Moon, they can never return to X / Y...

Yeah, I haven't finished X yet so... I guess I'll just pass on this one. lol

$99 seems crazy, but $89.99 wouldn't blow my mind. The exchange rate is now as such that 59 USD is well over 80 CAD.

Yeah, and companies generally price their goods to make money, not lose it :p

I'm just saying, another bump wouldn't surprise me. Hopefully they go to $84.99, but knowing how long it takes to make shifts like this, they may want to bite the bullet and just go higher. Nintendo is no stranger to dicking us around with exchange rates.

$99? Ouch!

I stopped buying release date full price when it hit $80 let alone $100. In my case (Obviously anecdotal) they're actually losing sales in the end.

At $60 I used to buy games on impulse frequently (Many of which I regretted), but at this point something about that sticker shock makes me wait a month or two after release when they've dropped to around half price. The problem is that by then I've changed my mind on many I would have just bought impulsively at $60.

Titanfall, Tomb Raider PS4, and Halo Wars 2 are prime examples of games I wanted leading up to release but I've just kind of moved on at this point and the urgency is gone so I might as well wait until they're bargain bin fodder. Annual sports franchises are another one where I used to be there every friggin year for the big 4, now its just NHL that I buy yearly and the others get a year or two break each.

What error message do you often get? Can it be identified by code or what have you? Have you looked on the Internet to see if it's been identified and documented?

Maybe it's the "This software was closed improperly last time." error? I had that with 1-2 Switch last night because, I think, I removed its cart without closing the program by accident. Wouldn't start up the program. Quick fix though was to delete the software data (for 1-2 Switch it says the save data will be untouched), remove the cart and re-insert cart.

Not normal. I'm 250+ hours into Zelda and haven't had a single technical issue. Call Nintendo or exchange at retailer, if you're not too far into Zelda.

Basically, it just said an error occurred and it closed the software. No error code.

300 isn't an unreasonable ask, but be prepared for people chucking 250 ish offers if you list on kijiji.

kevin1025 said:
Yep, $300 is a decent thing to ask for. Just be prepared to have someone do to you what they did to me: say $300, and then show up with $280.
Click to expand...
No way. It's 350$ new with two games. No one will pay 300$ for a used one with no warranty

250 is more than fair, my guess is along the lines of 220-240$ tops.

I did it the day after the Pro was announced, haha, so mine was 7-8 months back and right before the slim came out. Back in the outlaw days when these sorts of things were allowed!

You did it at the right time for sure :p it also was still 430$ with Uncharted 4 :p (or maybe the last of us at that time)

How much are original PS4s going for right now? Have 1TB one and no idea what if get for it
Click to expand...

I had nobody serious bidding even at $220 a few months ago. Kept it up 2 weeks Lots of "still available?" messages. One guy seemed serious but did a "dear blog, I want to buy a PS4, but should I? Um, maybe? Um yeah I'll take it, but only if blah blah blah your price is cool but should I?"

It was weird, maybe it's a Toronto thing. I have no idea how you guys are getting $250-$300.

Traded to EB for $210 credit. (~$235) Time and hassle free savings.
