Ugh, guess they gotta fund for that Lord of the Rings TV series somehow.
Don't have time to call by the time I get home, anyone able to explain how the Koodo tab works as a current customer?
Looking into grabbing a couple Galaxy S7 or an S7 and an S8 on a tab small (or tab medium, but when I log in and check it says tab small). Do I just walk in, pay the fee and then pay $16+ more a month or is there another special hoop I need to jump through? Currently running a Galaxy S3 and a Iphone 5s but never been on a "tab" before so not really sure how this all works.

I've been out of it for awhile but does Disgaea 5 Complete for Switch go on sale often? I could've sworn there were some pretty cheap sales over the Christmas season, and now that I'm itching to hop back in to the number crunching grind, I'm baffled to find it's still full price.
Having owned it for PlayStation 4 previously, I'm not looking to dive in at full price. Can't seem to find it secondhand locally either.

$98 for Skyrim and Rabbids on the EB trade deal. Pretty happy. I'm 1/6 of the way towards an Xbox X that I 100% do not need.
That's nuts, totally not worth it at that price. Like mentioned above it's barely worth it at $79 cad
I'm trying to buy it, but I guess the deal is over. It says $269 at your link, and though it still shows $119 on the app, in the cart the price becomes $199.
Hope some people were able to take advantage of this at least. I own another of these drives, and it's been excellent.
I know Seagate drives are always on sale, but I've only ever had bad luck with them.
Switch users, what are you guys using for power banks? I'm going on a few trips in June so I think it's about time to keep an eye on some of the better banks you guys recommend.
I pay $39 for student Prime, and it's barely worth THAT price IMO. It crossed my mind to cancel, but I probably won't.
Oh boy. It works like 25% of the time right now, so I hope they don't hike it up.
A leading analyst is saying the Canadian dollar is 'destined' to reach US 60 cents by 2019.
Don't listen to those corporate goons who argue that a weak Canadian dollar is good for Canadians - it's not. That assertion, which is always advanced by corporations, and sometimes picked up on by certain Canadians who think they're super clever, is demonstrably false.
Canadians who purchase lots of material goods from the US absolutely get hammered by a weak Canadian dollar.

There have been a few analysts that have predicted that in recent years, it never happens. Only for a brief week or two in 2016 did we even fall below $0.70 USD let alone $0.60 USD. Most of the last 5 years we have been in the $0.74-$0.79 range.
I'll believe it when I see it.
PSN Store has started doing that fun thing where it doesn't let you purchase anything on your credit card this week.
Is there anywhere that does instant delivery of digital PSN codes in Canada? I still can't believe Amazon.ca doesn't sell them.

I buy Nintendo codes via paypal digital gifts and it arrives instantly.
Didn't even know this was a thing - exactly what I wanted. Thanks!
Do you have anything to back up that unnecessary shade?
Koodo tab depends on what plan you have. It seems to me that your plan is only eligible for tab small. Try looking for any phone with tab small or better yet go with tab medium. What happens is you choose your plan $50 + $15 (tab medium or $25 for tab large). So you'll end up paying $65 a month.
I guess I don't know what you mean by unnecessary shade?
Well that seems like a sure thing. Transfer your savings to USD now, a 25% gain in a year is probably more than Bitcoin will pay out.
I did that when the Canadian dollar was on par with the American just a few years ago. Seemed like a sure bet to me. Not all my savings, but a lot.
Corporate goons, Canadians who think they're clever... I'm not sure what your point was.
Anyone have Amazon.ca E3 2016 orders with the below listed games and get check what pricing you see? Need to double-check pricing before trying to get Amazon to resolve an order cancellation issue and try to get some compensation from them. Pretty sure some (maybe all) of them were $49.99 or so. And then they'd have the 20% promo discount on them too.
Thanks for your help!
- Days Gone (PS4)
- Death Stranding (PS4)
- Detroit: Become Human (PS4)
- Spider-Man (PS4)
Thanks for your help!
All $49.96 for me. I guess they price matched someone at some point?
Do you guys have any thoughts on this desktop computer from Best Buy? It's $300 off

Awesome! Thank you again for your help. Yeah, I believe they matched Wal-Mart's pricing during last year's E3.
GTX 1050 isn't very good (it's a budget card), everything else looks pretty good for the price though.
What would you be interested to play?
Mostly OW, maybe some Destiny 2 if it ever gets good again. I think most of my graphic intensive games I'd probably play on console.
You're probably fine then. I'd definitely classify the 1050 as a budget card though. So don't expect to go beyond 1080p/60 (or less in some newer games)

No SSD. Do yourself a favour and pick one up for this. I can't imagine using a computer that only has a hard drive.
Theoretically, I should be able to replace the card eventually no?
Yup, if I did go for this deal I would definitely pick up an SSD. Thanks for the heads up though
Oh absolutely. It's extremely easy to swap out a graphics card. 5 minute job max.
Problem is graphics cards are extremely expensive right now due to bitcoin miners. So you'd have to wait it out for prices to come back down. For the next steps up, gtx 1060 or 1070, you're looking at probably $400 and $700 respectively right now.
Yeah, I've recently been looking at prebuilts and even a GPU-less system running with an AMD Raven Ridge card, waiting for prices to drop. But I'm still a novice at all of this, so I'm relying on advice from Era users.
LOL this exact thing happened to me starting with God of War. At this point I should play my backlog instead.
The source sent me a "We miss you" email. Came with a $25 off $100 purchase coupon code. Expires April 30th. Check your emails if you think you might get one.
Costco usually takes a few hours but there's a slight discount.
I wonder if the incredibly incompetent Canadian section of Amazon will follow.
''Remember us cutting the 20% on video game pre-orders to 10% last year?
Remember us delivering all your new games late compared to the competition?
Remember our Canadian version of Prime Video being inferior to the US?
Remember our inconsistent manner of putting Prime discounts on games and not applying it if you ordered before the Prime discount appeared, despite the fact we told you it would be discounted when the item will ship, when you contacted us?
Well, if you remember all that and still want to be a Prime member, be sure to subscribe next year for the low sum of 149.99$/yr! We love you. :)''

Amazon is not increasing the price of Prime in Canada. https://mobilesyrup.com/2018/04/27/amazon-prime-subscription-not-increasing-canada/
I traded my og ps4 in for another pro. No hassle with my launch 500gb model. I am super impressed with the fan noise compared to my other launch pro. God of war doesn't get louder than my speakers now. Monster hunter will be my next test.
I was tempted getting the white version but I went for black to keep consistency.

We have a Syntia Saeco and it's pretty fucking amazing if you take good care of it. We always get good compliments on the coffee.
Agreed. Fuck prime.

Oh? So other people have been hit with this glitch? Amazon sorta claimed the glitch was my fault, because we aren't supposed to remove a dead credit card from our payment options, and then change the credit card on our orders. Although I'm pretty sure I did it in the opposite (correct) order, and all my preorders except the E3 2016 one changed credit cards fine.
I do think I've figured out a solution to this issue that doesn't require contacting CS and having them volunteer to cancel your orders 12 times. Simply buy a gift card and slap that onto the problem order. That should remove the stuck credit card from the equation. But it does mean I'll fully prepay for Death Stranding 5 years before it comes out...
The Canadian dollar is dropping. It's highly likely that it will drop even further. If you're a Canadian consumer and you purchase material goods, or even digital goods, in US dollars, then you're going to suffer.
You can agree or disagree. Completely up to you.
