ugh, I'm never near the Cambie Best Buy.

 

[Tiktaalik]

ugh, I'm never near the Cambie Best Buy.

But it's so accessible by transit!

 

[Sora_N]

Nice, I go to UBC in the evenings so it's possible for me to stop by when they're at BB Cambie.

 

[bloodyroarxx]

are you serious nothing in Ontario between Oakville and London? Thats some bullshit.

 

[iiicon]

But it's so accessible by transit!

I know! But unless I'm downtown on one of the days the demo unit is up, it's still a one hour trip combined.

 

[Astra]

God I need to get off Prince Edward Island.

Now why would you ever want to leave here?
Besides, Dartmouth isn't that far. Take a trip!

 

[DaBoss]

Gonna ask this here. Does anyone know what the North York location is? There is no North York location in the store locator.

https://www-ssl.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/secure/store-locator-view-all-stores.aspx

I see no Best Buy in North York.

Google Maps says the Downsview location is in North York, so I'm guessing it is that.

I'm guessing I'm gonna have to wait till when Best Buy Canada puts it up on their site or something.

 

[zroid]

(edit: misunderstood, thought you were saying there wasn't any Best Buy in North York, as opposed to there not being a "North York Best Buy" )

If I had to guess, I would say Leaside, because that's the same Best Buy where the Wii U Experience demo was located back in October.

 

[Jacksonlee]

Or richmond hill centre bestbuy

I was going to bet the Yorkdale one.

It says it is in East York though. That is the second closest to me though.

Is there an actual Best Buy there?

Awwww Yiss.

 

[zroid]

Ah yeah you're right -- that's East York. Yorkdale seems likely then.

I was thinking the one in richmond hill was included as north york, the one on hitech road. Since when does yorkdale have a best buy?

They have a best buy mobile but an actual best buy?

I would LOVE that, but I'm guessing not, lol.

I don't think the "Yorkdale" one is in the mall proper, but it's quite close I believe. Just on the north side of the 401.

Next to it, not at. It's on Wilson north of 401.

Oh you guys mean the downsview location.

Any place to find out which london location?

 

[DaBoss]

Yea, I already mentioned that one in my question.

I'm guessing it is that one. Not sure if that one is closer to me and my friends, time to check.

 

[khaaan]

GAF meetups at best buy? GAF meetups at best buy. If you're playing and someone leans over and whispers "NEOGAF" followed by moaning, it's me.

 

[ohlawd]

I live in the worst part of BC -_- Don't wanna travel all the way to Vancouver lols.

Do I need to do anything special for that Nintendo Zone crap? Just walk in and start that NZ app?

No you just need to use your 3DS, really simple.

I used to work next to that bestbuy. It was on wilson and dufferin and that's probably the one in question.

Technically that area does count as Downsview, but when alot of people confuse the entire area for North York as Downsview was small enough anyways.

I remember reading a way that you can access Nintendo Zone content without having to go to Best Buy. You just had to change the SSID of your router. Lemme see if I can find it.

EDIT: That was easy.

There’s an easy way to access the Nintendo Zone without visiting Best Buy. Simply rename your router’s SSID to “attwifi”.

By doing this, you can connect to the Nintendo Zone and watch free Pokemon episodes and download game demos (without a play limit, I believe) straight from your home.

Well according to Wikipedia (yes I know) it is located in the district of North York, so yea. Thanks for sharing your insight.

 

[Chatin]

Hmm, do I consider skipping out on work to hit up a Best Buy that will likely be overcrowded depending on the location in Edmonton? I'll wait for the list of games to come out and hope it's all garbage I didn't really want to demo anyways.

Fantastic. Better have some good stuff, Nintendo.

If the new 3D Mario isn't one of them, I will be sure to bash Reggie's face in while I;m visiting Seattle this August.

But will he able to get the items that the BB will be offering for AC:NL?

 

[ohlawd]

Thanks for the link, DaBoss.

I'll hold off until others can confirm they can get AC DLC this way.

 

[DaBoss]

But will he be able to get the items that the BB will be offering for AC:NL?

Well presumably, yes. Nintendo Zone seems to be like this web portal and not something that requires to be accessed locally. It seems you can download stuff from there, so yea.

 

[kennah]

It says it is in East York though. That is the second closest to me though.



Is there an actual Best Buy there?

That's where I bought Half Life 2. When I lived in Toronto. 9 years ago. Holy shit I've been in Winnipeg too long.

 

[krae_man]

Kitchener is never on the list.

 

[Kazerei]

I would've been happy if even Cambridge was on the list

[Quick]

So, I got Tomb Raider and Hitman: Absolution for $49.99 + tax earlier this week, finished Tomb Raider, and traded it back to BB for $40.00 in a gift card.

Feels great man.

 

[Jotamide]

Nice, I go to UBC in the evenings so it's possible for me to stop by when they're at BB Cambie.

Fellow UBC student? Holla. Good to know Winnipeg wasn't skipped, I hope it's the BB at Polo Park.

 

[Cynar]

HOLY CRAP! Steam cards now in canada?

GOODBYE VISA CARDS

Yup! And no issue redeeming it. It's glorious.

[MikeDip]

Leather couches are just plain uncomfortable imo. No matter what the season

Leather couches feel great to me, especially when the leather is cool.

Nice to know I'm not the only one.

 

[MrBambinoDent]

Does BB have trade 1 for 40$ as well as FS?
If so I may trade BLOPS2 both PS3 and 360 copies one at each of BB or FS or at different locations of the same store if possible.

 

[Black Republican]

Target: 250GB PS3 slim with Uncharted 3 $269 and $50 gift card

Yes, it is available on BB.

 

[bryehn]

Gears of War Judgement, BioShock Infinite, Tomb Raider and Assassin's Creed 3 are all $30 at wal-mart this week.

 

[SMT]

If you would like a brand new copy of Persona 4:`Arena for just $17, look no further.

http://www.estarland.com/Playstation3.cat..product.39776.html

PS3, of course.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Wait, which Best Buy in Winnipeg is it? There's 2 of them.

 

[zroid]

Looks like we're being saddled with the same extreme time limitations for the Wii U E3 demos as the Americans.

The games will be playable 4-8 p.m. local time on Wednesday, June 12, and 1-5 p.m. local time on Saturday, June 15.
