Someone literally mentioned sunglasses on sale at the Bay, three posts before.
You can't use regular sunglasses to watch a solar eclipse.
And for what time you should check it out go to the CBC site.

Oops, that was pretty dumb by myself. Apologies!
Nope.
Public sent you a text advertising a competitor's plan?
Well, they are both owned by Telus.
Do they do cross promotions like that, or dis someone boo boo and text the wrong list?
I wouldn't be shocked if they are trying to move as many off of Public Mobile as they can to eventually prove to the CRTC it's too small and it won't affect too many if they shut it down.

Superbeat hit 26 dollars! Repeat, Superbeat hit 26 dollars!!!

Hm yeah, for some reason I was thinking Koodo was owned by someone else. Makes more sense now.
That's a pretty good deal though, they probably are trying to kill Public off.

Does that screen protector impact the responsiveness/feel of the screen?
It amazes me that after 3+ generations of Edge devices, a company still hasn't made a definitive screen protector yet.
What kind of plan do you have on Public.
I'm on a Telus off-contract plan that is ~$45/month and from what I can tell I couldn't get a similar plan on Public for less assuming that I want 4G LTE (which I do).
Best Buy - sold out online but you can check your store:

I got in on the 4GB/mo deal.
I pay, what works out to, $40 per month for 4GB, PROVINCE (not nation) wide calling, global texting. After discounts and referrals I'm at 101 per quarter for my cell bill.
Thanks! Oof, that price tag. It's been a while since I've had this mix of joy and regret. Figure I might as well since I have the Wizards Edition...
That's a good deal, and a bit less than what I pay now, but from the Public site an equivalent plan to what I have now would be closer to $60/month, or $180 every 90 days.I got in on the 4GB/mo deal.

Microsoft's store seems to be the best for Canadians in terms of exchange rates -- seems to be a fair bit of stuff that comes to us at par.
I'm guessing it'll probably come in around $26/27 on PSN as well.
It just how the Microsoft store works. Most publisher won't apply the exchange rate for games/dlc below a price point. There are some exceptions, when it's a Play Anywhere title, it will use the Window Store exchange rate or Neo Geo games (HAMSTER Corporation).

Whoa, thanks for the heads up on that! Xbox it is.
Remember you can get a $50 xbox card for $44.99 at costco online
Another $1 off with exec membership (2%)
I got the same thing and I pretty much had the same reaction. What's weird is I saw a video ad last night, $40 a month for 4 GB with Public, so it's not like they're trying to get people off the plan I have.

Keep in mind that Xbox Live has tax and PSN doesn't. Still a better deal on Xbox Live, but closer.
Ugh. I hope this isn't the end of public mobile. I'm paying a really cheap plan and I don't want an extra 10-$20 on it.

Anyone who signed up in Nov 2016 to PM just had their 90 day plan auto renewed (Feb, May, and Aug), so presumably if you cancel PM now you lose nearly 3 months of prepaid value...that's over $100 if on the $40/mth plan.
Steam's the best out of all of them. Unlike PSN, devs don't have to follow the platform holder's exchange rate, which means most devs will undercharge for non-full price games (a lot of $19.99 USD games get priced at $21.99 instead of the $26.99 they'd be on a platform like PSN, though a few releases do end up getting closer to a 1:1 exchange rate). Additionally, Steam doesn't charge tax, so some games end up slightly cheaper than they would be on XBL. And as a bonus you can sell trading cards you get from games to earn Steam wallet credit.

Having a gaming PC sounds so nice. One of these days I'll join the club.
afaik Nintendo doesn't enforce exchange rates for third party publishers. the rate they use for their own games is absolutely horrendous though.
Still waiting for fatal frame to go on sale lol
I believe you're correct as well, edited my post.

I recently repurposed an older desktop PC with a leftover laptop SSD, RAM, and Win 10. Use it for anything low tech, like arcade games and recent indies, which all run perfectly, it's really good. Steam is convenient. Xbox One controller + hdmi out, everything worked as easy as a console.
If PC had Japanese games, I'd switch to it. But for now, PS4 stays.
That's a pretty damn cynical move if they actually don't pay you out for the rest of that term.
I'm gonna give this a try. 100 bucks for glasses, I'll wait for the next one thanks !

My god, is that ever going to happen? At this point it feels like the only way we'll ever see a discount is through My Nintendo rewards.
Waited over two holloween, never drop a single penny. I think we can assume that nintendo has forgotten the released the game lol.
It's not glass so it's fine for responsiveness. The feel is kinda like an orange peel at first but smooth.

So amazon prime is 10% off now...
Oh wow. The gift that keeps on giving.
Shoppers 20x Optimum Points is back to being king for new games (at least for those popular AAA titles. For smaller titles they can be impossible to find).
Well as someone whose sub just charged for another year last week, I am pissed.
I'm pretty sure you will be prorated if you cancel your sub.
How much was it listed for?

Looks like it's time to cancel Prime. Barely made use of the free shipping and it's not that hard to wait an extra day for shipping and bundle up $25 worth of items.
Also, why is Prime Video so useless in Canada? Literally no way to watch it on your TV save for physically connecting a laptop to your TV via HDMI. No Chromecast, no Apple TV, no Android TV, no PS4, no Kodi add-on... I can keep going.

I don't know what that means o_o
But I'm still going to try. Unfortunately I literally had a thing ship this past weekend from them x_x
