That 150Mbit deal Shaw has going is pretty sweet. If anyone is considering it i'm satisfied, especially since Telus could only offer me 50Mbit for double the price, and with a data cap.

it sucks to be paying american fibre prices for a fibre connection that is literally just neutered to ~1/9th of its performance

but its been 8 times more reliable for me the last several months then their internet 1XX that was just cable lines was last year. last year during the summer during the daytime streaming video was just "nah bro"

ive had it for a a while and the speeds are nice but the modem they give you likes to change the NAT randomly. a lot of the time when gaming its set to strict which causes problems online. anyone know what settings to use to get this modem to stop screwing around with the NAT?

If you're talking xbox/ps4, just throw the IP into DMZ. Best to give your console a static IP though, so it'll stay put in DMZ.

EB will give me $30 for a dualshock 3? that's pretty tempting... I have an extra since I had to replace my ps3 a couple years back.

I'll probably end up trading all my DS3 controllers except 2 of them or something. This deal is too good.

Or has DS3 prices suddenly shot up?

For a brief moment, I had hope. It got shot down quickly.

They are quite hard to find used in good condition nowadays, and the market is flooded with unreliable fakes. I sold like $800 worth of 360 games (~120 of them) and the first thing the guy at the store asked me was "You don't happen to have any PS3 controllers do you?"

Could you tell me where it gets shipped from? If its BC, then it'll be like a week.

If its Ontario, it'll be like next day for me.

Also lol.
Shipped from Mississauga, supposed to show up today so I was ready to take my negative comments back but then they attempted delivery but no one tried my buzzer and they didn't leave an attempted delivery notification so... Purolator gonna Purolator.

Call and say you were home and nobody bothered to even ring your bell, make them come back. They screw me with that BS every single time too

I tried, she gave bs excuses for why they didn't bother to do anything and told me I could pick it up at their shipping depot (nowhere near me) tonight or the best she could do was get it shipped to a location near me to pick up Monday so I'm doing that.

Like in the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal so whatever, but it's just annoying that Purolator manages to do this every time.

Pro tip for future deliveries. As soon as you get a tracking number, you can call them and arrange for alternate delivery location.

DEAL - EB Games - August 11-13


Get $50 when you trade in a Dualshock 4.

Get $30 for a PS3 controller.


Might be a good time to get rid of any old controllers you have lying around.

Traded in a Dualshock 4 today but they wouldn't take the USB Wireless Adapter for PC, so now I have no use for it. Guess I have to sell it online, but I'm so over that hassle, esp. when it's only for $15 or whatever I would get.

Lmao can you not call them to get this fixed? Also holy shit that must be caked in labels by now.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Does EB Games carry eShop cards? Would love to trade in a PS3 controller toward digital Binding of Isaac or something

Yes. They also sell digital Switch games which you're better off getting because its taxfree whereas the eshop charges tax. Dont know if they'd have digital Isaac but I bought digital codes for Snipperclips and the BotW season pass from EB.


People talking about trading in busted controllers makes me wonder why anyone would buy a used controller from EB. lol

It comes with a warranty plus I bet a lot of the busted ones get refurbished before going back up for sale.

If you've been in an EB in a mall, you'll know the target market - Parents who generally don't know any better and are looking for deals.

I was at an EB a few weeks back and a couple came in looking to have their PS3 repaired. A lot of the people who shop there have little to no idea about games or even taking advantage of trade promos.

USPS customer service is terrible. Can't even e-mail them without providing a US zip code. Called them and can't even navigate to get to an Operator.

I'm gonna let the Shipper handle this.

So I'm having trouble with Play-Asia. I bought an item that never shipped using my credit card through paypal and eventually they cancelled the order. But instead of a refund they sent me a money "payment/transfer" on paypal so it never went back onto my card and I now had to pay fees because of that.


Should I give play-asia some time to fix this or just get paypal/credit card company involved?
