Best buy added a list of the exact locations for the Nintendo e3 demos for Canada.

Not a deal, but Canada related anyways. I'll be at the Edmonton location.

Bay and Dundas is going to be insanely busy. I hope a lot of the demos make it to the eShop after E3.

Didn't it work at some point?
Thanks. I'm definitely going to the Bay Dundas location.
What deals and stuff are they giving out specifically? Or it can't be revealed yet?
That's the only reason I'm thinking about going to it. I really don't care about playing any demos (I never play them at home, I didn't even try AC3 at the launch party) so hopefully there's some good swag.
I don't know, but probably t-shirts as usual. And i don't know what deals they have, but my guess is they will involve pre orders for new games

Why does that BB page say June at the top and July in the list?
Yeah, noticed that too. Should be June.
A shame food at Shoppers is even more expensive than the 'high end' grocery stores. Hopefully there's a sale on something you can really use. Or just fill your fill with bags of milk.
In my experience, the food at Shoppers is typically on sale just as cheap or cheaper than Superstore and that's before you take the value of the 20x points into account. Some of their regular prices are high, but they always have a lot of stuff on sale, and the sale stuff is all I'm ever interested in anyway.
Interestingly, my friend got a slightly better offer: 8000 bonus points for spending $30 on food and snacks.

haha, thanks for thinking of me
I noticed they were available yesterday but... I decided I'm going to restrain myself on this one. It is tempting, though...
Thanks for the speedy answer, I'm already reading some articles on cashback credit cards right now.
I use the Smart Cash as my everyday card. Once Target opens here in Ottawa, my wallet will have an RBC Target MC for purchases at Target, MBNA SC MC for everyday spending, and my Amazon.ca VISA for purchases made in USD or while travelling outside of Canada.
You'll get less than 1% back in scene points though. Honestly, you'd be better off getting a Smart Cash as a student as you'll get 2% back on groceries and 1% back on everything else. And that's cash. And the Smart Cash comes with extended warranty and 90 day purchase protection. (And you'll get $100 if you go through a referral link on RFD or Great Canadian Rebates and are approved)

I agree. Pure cash > points/credit.
Can anyone spot cheap qualifiers for the T1 for Animal Crossing?

Honestly dude, it's only $24.99 if you buy from BB. ($34.99 plus $10 in RZ points)
Just buy it.
There isn't a Best Buy near me. =(
I'll ship you a copy and take ten bucks off if you want? PM me and we can work it out.
No harm in giving it a shot, but it really depends on who helps you out when you get back there. Best to find the receipt to be absolutely safe.
By mislabeled game, do you mean the game case doesn't match the actual game inside?
I was at an EB last week, and there was this kid who wanted to return an opened used game, after playing it halfway and "realizing" that he already played it. The employee asked his manager, and said he'll do the return one time for him. Thought that was kind of cool.
Some years ago, I bought a used PS2 copy of GTA San Andreas from EB.
Got home, opened it up -- lo and behold, there was an Xbox San Andreas disc in the box. Was annoyed and I took it back immediately. Told them what happened, assuming they gave me the wrong copy of the game; asked them to swap it with the PS2 disc.
Dude checks inventory... there was no other copy of San Andreas, for either Xbox or PS2. In other words, when they accepted the trade-in, they didn't even notice they were getting the wrong version of the game.
I had to return it.

I bought a used copy of dark souls from future shop and it had a copy of NHL 2k9 in it.

The 3DS XL deal turned out to be a bust for me. I showed up, and all they had were piles of pink 3DS XLs. I don't mind the pink shell colour, but I don't like the white borders on it.
