So if I sell my Pro + two extra controllers (considering they're not compatible with PS5) + a couple of games for ~$400 at least, I'd be paying about $350 including tax for a PS5. That's not bad at all.

I found a seller willing to part with their Gigabyte OC RTX 2080 for $730 on Kijiji. They claim they bought it 2 months ago and still have the receipt.

Is this worth getting now, or should I wait for sales for BF??

I wish there was an archive somewhere of old BF flyers so I could see if graphic cards had sales last year...

Found my old receipt a few weeks ago. Was something like get $200 trade in plus $50 off the price of a Pro. My final cost was under $250.

It was that as well as another promo that could be stacked where games would get their trade value bumped up to $20. I remember paying $150+tax when all was said and done.

It isn't that much money. A lot of people would be interested on saving a couple hundred bucks on a couple hundred bucks.
Yeah, I think it does matter for some people.

For me, particularly with electronics, I'd rather pay more for the piece of mind (particularly after the Xbox 360 bullshit) but assuming people don't treat their tech like shit (admittedly there's no real way to know for sure) I can see how buying a used system for 100 bucks less than retail is a good deal.

That said, I don't think I could ever do it myself, although I'd rather buy a used console than say a used phone.

At this point, I'd rather save the 3-400 bucks and use it towards a PS5, which is gonna be (mostly) backwards compatible. If you've waited this long, what's 1 more year?

how do you think eb and the indie stores stay in business.

most people don't care about new vs used. 10% off is 10% off.

I watched a couple of millenials return a used ps4 for another used ps4 and destiny 2. They couldn't care less the system was broken and happily exchanged for another...and didn't know D2 was going free to play.

^general public


EB Games is advertising Destiny 2 for $10 in their latest flyer. People will buy it and won't know any better

You can already get a new 2070 Super (pretty close to 2080) with CoD for under $800 all in. May as well wait for BF.

Why are songs disappearing from Apple Music what the hell, "I Can't Give Up" by Foreigner is completely gone, no other versions of it remain...
This is some sad stuff, did they still not figure out the licensing privileges for streaming yet or what, this shouldn't be happening.

I got a promo code in the mail for Chefs Plate. Not sure if it can be used multiple times, but it seems to give just over 50% off if you sign up for your first box.

Does anyone know if the full game download codes packed with new XBOX 360 consoles expire? I found an unused Halo Reach code that i'm gonna try to sell, if able.

The Source has a new coupon out for tonight only, OCT30, which takes $30 off $150. Notably, it works on video games (though apparently not gaming hardware). I used it on Collection of Mana and Ring Fit Adventure for Switch.

Anyone know where I can pick up a second switch dock? They are really hard to find, I went to 3 bestbuys and 4 walmarts. Nintendo's online store is asking for 120$ for one.

You can get a Refurb Dock for the weird price of $50.99, but you need to supply your own HDMI cable and Power Supply which they also sell refurbed for $25.99. So for $77 you can get basically a full dock set, you just need to BYO HDMI, which should be fairly easy/inexpensive.

For the record: I've bought a few refurb things from Nintendo before and have never been disappointed in the quality.

Thanks, did not know these existed. Rather go this route instead of the Insignia one that BestBuy sells, even though that BestBuy version has good reviews.

77$ is much more palatable. Can't see myself spending 120 for it at all.

No. I got 2 emails. One saying the release date changed to 11/15 (which is what its always been), and my arrival dates will be between 11/18 and 11/20 (I guess that's ok). Then 5 minutes later another email saying my order is out of stock and will be cancelled in 3 days, lol.
Gmail also identified one of the emails as phishing email, even though it's not and it clearly came from Walmart.

Everything they email you is irrelevant and should be ignored.

Ignore any email walmart sends you
Okay hopefully that means everything is actually fine then

There's also this one.

Also, Best Buy's Insignia dock is apparently one of the only third party docks that is actually 100% safe to use...Ironically enough

I lol'd at first when I read your post.

but then come to think of it, it makes a lot of sense. Best Buy is probably Nintendo's biggest customer after WM and Target. Getting a piece of that sweet accessories market fits.

That skull and co one looks amazing for what it does. Lots of versatility.

Might just get one.

Physically installing or actually setting it up? It seems pretty plug and play, but I've only done it on laptops admittedly.

sorry just venting. I did 4 upgrades this week (for family and friends)

Some drives don't get detected until activated in windows manually. Then cloning works...sometimes. Then a final issue when a drive wasn't being detected because it was 1mm off in the port. Then some m2 ports only run at pcie 2.0 speed. Sooooo frustrating.

Ah, yes. lol
I've had my computer constantly crash because the card was ever so slightly loose and move slightly from time to time but I couldn't figure out why. Very finnicky. lol

does anyone know if the ring fit has the same pricing error for 69 here as it does in the US?

If you like rhythm games and have a Switch, Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun! is $26 on the eShop

This game is a staple of Japanese arcades. It's very Japanese btw. Menus are English but everything else is (delightfully) Japanese.
