There are $89.99 games this year? Non-CEs??

 

[N° 2048]

E3 deals were a God-send. Really hoping Halo:MCC goes on sale soon. $30 is my sweet spot.

 

[chrominance]

No, just dark humour.

For now, anyways.

 

[frequency]

Aww, I was hoping we would merge with the Amiibo thread.




... But glad to see someone finally stepped up to create the thread. Thanks!

 

[BadWolf]

Hoping for a sweet PS4 deal leading up to the SFV launch ;_;

What's your ideal price? PS4 had sweet deals for $360 this year.

 

[N° 2048]

Yea that %20 Indigo Visa checkout thing was a steal. I know a few people kicking themselves for passing up on that.

That with a game or two would be nice.

Though at this point I'm also waiting for the new quieter and more energy efficient PS4 model to become more widely available.

Well over half a year till SFV hits though so I'm in no immediate hurry.

 

[Cake Boss]

77Cents $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woooooooooooooooo

Leadership I can believe in!!!

 

[EvilMario]

Hooray, new thread.

 

[Tik-Tok]

So desperate for a BloodBorne deal I clicked the one in the OP

 

[ohlawd]

Took long enough for this thread. Did amazon ship it out or something?

10/10

79.99/79.99

 

[Returners]

Good times.

 

[DrEvil]

I had this thread shipped to the border and picked it up myself, unfortunately the dollar is so low I actually lost money.

 

[Madness]

New thread. Too bad there's nothing to be excited about price/sales wise. Just sad times all around.

 

[Luigi87]

Finally a new thread.
Last one brought us higher prices and higher post counts.

 

[Zeeman]

At some point Splatoon has to go on sale, right?

 

[Roto13]

Yay, new thread. A few things.

~ The link to the Toronto-GAF thread is to the old one. This is the current one.
~ The OP should probably link to that excellent Game Deals Canada weekly deal site.
~ Thanks for not using a dumbass thread title <3

 

[Madness]

At some point Splatoon has to go on sale, right?

It's Nintendo. I wouldn't bet on it for a while. Any sale would be pretty much just a few dollars difference as opposed to the half price or less other games from publishers are doing within a month or more after launch.

 

[Velkyn]

Subbed. Sad that most of the EBgames "deals" I see nowadays are games at a $59 price point that was the norm years ago.

 

[reSpec Gaming]

Best Buy
The only trade-in alternative to EB. Don't trade in games there. But hey, Reward Zone points, right?

I wouldn't say this. Many local stores take in trades and give better value than EB or Best Buy. So those aren't your "only" options. Shop local, people!

 

[Tuck]

In the OP:

NEW DEAL
Bloodborne - $19.99
http://gotcha-usa.deal

Dear Lone_Prodigy,

Fuck you.

Sincerely,

Tuck.

Spoiler

I'm joking. All in good fun. Though it did get my hopes up for half a second.

 

[Dazzler]

just scoped out the Headphones deal at Best Buy

I'm a sennheiser guy and the deals on that brand are tepid. Thanks, Harper

 

[MikeDip]

I need a good deal on books, what time of year does that happen

 

[Skikkiks]

Three of these threads ago people were pining for the good old days.

That's a sad thought.

 

[BTails]

Thankfully between my e3 preorders and massive backlog, I'm won't be buying anymore new games for a while...

Spoiler

Of course I'll be buying new games -_-

Great new thread! Here's to the Loonie, may she rest in peace.

 

[explodet]

For the one or two Canadians interested in the new Nobunaga's Ambition game, VGP has it listed for preorder at $69.99 (PS4 version).

https://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=23309

You still need to pay for shipping, but if you're looking to save a couple of bucks instead of buying from Amazon or EB who both have the game for $79.99, it's an option.

 

[EvilMario]

At some point Splatoon has to go on sale, right?

Local (Toronto) only, but Game Mania had it for $45 for one of their sales a couple weeks ago. Also, if SDM near you carry games, there is a good chance they have copies in and you could buy it during a 20x points day. Those are your best options at the moment. Don't count on it going on an official sale for more than $5/10 off anytime soon. It's a 1st party Nintendo title that is selling well.

 

[KnightHart]

Smells like a new thread. But the next thread title should be "Only $90s Kids Would Understand" or something like that.

Also the GameDealsCanada site itself should be added to the OP.

If only there were actually deals to post.

Also what the fuck Steins Gate apparently is out this month. Didn't even notice the release date on VGP

Yeah. I'm playing it now for review. Under embargo for a game that came out a year ago in English and five years ago in Japanese. Never change, Japanese companies.

It's under embargo? What a strange clause. The game is out there in so many variants in English its hilarious. The fan translated PC VN, the official PC English version, the English PS3/Vita EU version, plus the fan subbed and officially localized anime which is also on Netflix. 5pb pls

Give me Chaos Head NoAH god damn it. Everyone but Steins Gate pls

Thanks but I just said that BB is having a sale and asked for recommendations

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Updated the OP with GameDealsCanada and other stuff.

I just wanted to say, that when I started this thread eight years ago, I never really thought it would last as long as it has and saved (read: convinced you to spend) so much money for so many people. Super proud to have had a hand in building up this community on GAF. I may not spend much on games anymore or even really play many games anymore, but I still check this thread regularly to help my friends find cheap deals and see how everyone is doing! /concession speech

Though post slower y'all it took us longer to hit 20k in the first thread than the last 4 put together!

Still the king. Come back and make thread 7. I'm not worthy.

 

[jholmes]

THE REST OF THE LIST

Just missed the top 25. Phew!

For anyone who uses the Amazon Appstore -- this means you, BlackBerry people! -- a bunch of free apps today, perhaps most notably Scribblenauts and the very good, almost but not quite worth playing without buttons port of Sonic 2.

 

[CRA5H]

Thanks but I just said that BB is having a sale and asked for recommendations

Oops. Sorry, it was too early in the morning. I'm no headphone guru so I can't help you there

 

[KnightHart]

THE REST OF THE LIST

I'm in the top 20, specifically 17. I'm 100% certain that most of those posts are me complaining about shipping and Canada Post's bullshit

Just got this email from BB

http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/category/flash-sale/flash-sale.aspx?fullsite=true&CMP=RZ-rz-150813

I asked for a game headset sale and I got one from the wrong retailer. I just want the Corsair H2100's to go on sale on NCIX.

 

[Achtius]

Not a deal, but this is probably th best thread to ask . If I were to buy a phone off contract from a carrier, would the phone be locked or have the carrier apps installed?

 

[Dazzler]

apparently Chicken Nuggets are 10 for $1.99 at Burger King again

Guess I'll be eating some nuggets for lunch tomorrow

 

[User 479360]

Thanks for the heads-up. I'd been hoping the deal would return, especially after seeing it advertised on American TV.

$2 for 10 nuggets is more than fair.

 

[RS4-]

I think it still depends on location. The one across eatons didn't do it last night.

 

[stolin]

Ahh that new thread smell...

 

[narcosis219]

wait, if we can't afford a new thread, THEN WHO WAS THREAD

 

[kennah]

Just a reminder, folks: don't need to post a "lol just posting to subscribe" post if you want to sub to the thread -- you can also use the thread tools (on the mobile and desktop versions of the site) to add a subscription.

Also, a deal?:

Walmart's offering a handful of 3DS games at $29.96 starting tomorrow. Mario Kart and Animal Crossing are only $5 off. Pokemon Alpha Sapphire, though, seems to be regularly $45 (I assume Omega Ruby will also go on sale?).

Speaking of Pokemon, my son is 7. Will he dig it? He's kind of into Pokemon (cards and the show), but never tried the games (I'm not a fan, so I don't have any older versions he can try out).

My five year old who can't read gets a lot out of paying it. Go for it

 

[trebbble]

So desperate for a BloodBorne deal I clicked the one in the OP

me too

 

[BadWolf]

Don't even have a PS4 yet and I too clicked on the Bloodborne deal lol.

 

[MisterJoynt]

Dat new thread smell.

 

[kinger]

Yes, and likely, but you should be able to delete those.

For anyone who uses the Amazon Appstore -- this means you, BlackBerry people! -- a bunch of free apps today, perhaps most notably Scribblenauts and the very good, almost but not quite worth playing without buttons port of Sonic 2.

Oh cool. I'll try to check this out later, thanks!
