Canadian Gaming Deals and Discussion Thread 3: Pining for the Good Old Days Edition

Assuming you haven't purchased or found Black 2 yet, I have a (I think) still sealed copy that I picked up on release and then never got around to. Hell, I've barely touched Black, and I just bought Y, and my backlog is already massive so getting back to a previous game probably isn't going to happen.

You're welcome to it for a flat $20, I'll cover shipping too.

Oh I know, I'm not sure if I'll get around to playing them soon (also don't want fatigue), but I'd like to have the option. If I can't find it I'll consider your offer, thanks.
 
Future Shop Gamer favorited your Tweet

@FS_Gamer Killzone, Destiny and Titanfall for PS4 in a year ;)


Did not expect that to be favourited lol

I'm in Calgary and if I didn't already put 3 seperate pre-orders out there (I wanted to make sure I have it day one) I'd take you up on this. Thoughtful of you to offer it up though - cheers!

I'll be hanging onto it for a bit longer in case someone does pop up. If someone outside of Alberta wants it, I don't mind shipping as long as the cost is covered.

I'll probably have an extra PS4 preorder too, in Ottawa, but willing to ship or change the shipping address. If someone really wants one and missed the boat.

As far as all this clearance stuff at Target goes, I'm NOT going to say that I work at the electronics section of one that's opening in a month, but if I theoretically did, I would then theoretically ensure resellers/hoarders do not buy all of the items.

I would hope that theoretically a manager would support this school of thought.

Would such employee theoretically let us know about any upcoming clearances?

Watch out, RFD will bitch and moan and complain about not being able to buy all your stock of xx game and yy system, and ask for your supervisor.

It seems to be off the trade in lists so I dunno if anyone cares, but I spotted Blops2 (PS3) for $19.99 at Shoppers this evening

Unfortunately RFD peeps browse here, so it'd be in the hands of hoarders within no time

Well, hopefully this theoretical discussion involves theoretically imposing limits on deeply discounted items :)

I've been thrilled with Target's clearance, but it really brings out the bad, impulse-purchasing side of me :)

As far as I know the Target team members tend to not know about the crazy clearances until they come down the pipe to be executed. So not much I can do, boyos, besides not sell them all to RFDers.

EDIT: And knowing how RFD and CAG work, someone else would have it up there (and then it'd get transplanted here) before I at the bottom of the theoretical ladder would get a chance to post about it. But yeah, I'll keep a not-necessarily-existing eye out.

Any Calgary-gaffers know someone that missed out on a PS4 pre-order? I'm going to cancel mine, but figured I would offer to keep it for someone who missed out. Not looking to profit from it or anything.

If for some reason anyone that PM'd you about this backs out I'll happily take it off your hands.
 
I wonder if Knack is going to ship on Thursday or not.

That Oct 24th release date is quite the tease.

I just checked my preorder, and it says "Scheduled for Standard Delivery"...not sure what that means, but I assume we'd be hearing elsewhere, too, if the game was shipping out three (!!!) weeks early.

It says the same for my other pre orders. I got a feeling that date will change in the next couple of days. I hope so anyways... Having to look at the box for 3 weeks would be a tease.

They've arrived!

Just left the Sony store at the Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket and they have the PS4 demo set up. Didn't have a ton of time with it as I need to get back to work (lol) so I just played Knack.

Game was pretty fun. Controller felt amazing. So I assume all Sony stores up here should have then out today or tomorrow.

Just called the nearest Sony store and the guy told me they'll have a PS4 demo station tommorow only.

How was Knack? I'm starting to get interested in picking it up but haven't really read/heard many impressions yet.

Knack was fun, I enjoyed it. I really didn't have a ton of time with it, unfortunately, as I had to get back to the office. Just played it on Normal, but I can see how Hard will be a decent challenge.

I've seen people describe it as God of War-esque and I can kinda see that. You don't control the camera, so L stick is move and R stick is dodge. Jump and basic attack on X and [ ] respectively. Then super attacks using O in combos with other face buttons. Kinda reminded me of Ratchet & Clank in the sense of smash everything you can to find stuff.

Found a couple of hidden areas, just in my short time, so that will probably add some to replayability. Not a graphical powerhouse like KZ obviously, but it looks like it will be a pretty fun game, so I'm glad I'm getting that for launch. I think my 4 year old will get a kick out of watching it, and maybe can try co-op with me assisting on robo-Knack.

Edit: Added pic

Sorry about the crappy pic. They had it hooked up to one of the curved LED tv's. Looked pretty nice, but I have no idea what settings they had it on.

After seeing again another SM3D World video, I badly need this game. If anyone who pre-order this game through E3 deal from FS and planning to return it, please let me know I will buy the game from you.

Save $5 ... wow. Retailer margins must be tight if they're not even knocking off another $5 to make it $499.99

They can't possibly be that tight on the controllers, at least. Just a stupid ad. Besides, FS and BB are giving $20 off when you buy a controller + game, right?
 

Exactly what I was hoping for after seeing them launch this for the UK. Unless someone knows where I can get a sweet deal on a WiiU right now, then the Mario bundle is the one I would go for, I hope it shows up in Canada! I wanted the Zelda bundle quite a bit just for the nice controller (and waiting so long for a WiiU...) but I just cant make sense if it since I've finished GC Wind Waker a number of times. Makes more sense to get some games I DIDN'T finish multiple times yet.

(Quick check in case I find a good used deal before Nov 8th: The 32GB is not that useful, right? I plan on connecting a USB HD no matter what, so I could in theory find an 8GB unit and not lose any functionality?)

anyone else expecting to get their PS4 parcels on Monday instead of Friday due to CanadaPost issuing slips and not knocking on doors?

I'm going to sit watching my door that day. I'm also leaving a note on the door telling him/her to ring the bell and I'll be listening

I'm not missing a weekend because they're too lazy to ring the buzzer

If you pay attention they are already discounting the DS4 by 10$, so it's a total of 15$ saving, and the save 20$ on KZ:SF with DS4 preorder is expired already, still it's not worth the space they took on the flyer :D
