If you're going to walk in, you need to setup an account first. Cause they need to keep track of who walks into their building.

I think you're thinking of Micro CenterOh wait so what am I thinking of...
What's that company that's in the US that you always hear have good prices on hardware, that's what I was thinking of I guess

Nah, my Pro is the Spidey one and I won't trade that away. Plus, I like having old hw even if the new one is bc.
The PS5 is going to be 700 dollars. I'll be getting it on Day 1000.
$299? I doubt we will see that kind of price by 2023 if it's really going to be $700. A better CAD I guess.lol. It really is, one game + extra controller, probably an external SSD.
I've switched to PC.
I'm sure they'll be some Spiderman 2 PS5 xmas bundle on black friday in 2023 for $299. Will pick it up then.
Memory Express coming to Canada?
After NCIX closed down, it'd be nice if Canada Computers had some competition.

This is my first time really trying to shop for good deals on PC parts so I have to ask...
Historically, does Canadian Black Friday have good deals on CPUs (specifically Ryzen), GPUs, or mobos?
40+% !!! It's ridiculous.
If PS5 is at $499USD = $665CAD and that's with no fx fees so I'm betting on $689.
The specs being talked about in the various PS5 threads, OMG. 8 core cpu, SSD, 4K bluray drive, 16GB RAM. Even with volume discounts at the supplier level the build of materials is looking like $450 USD minimum.
Then you get a blacklisted console.I hope someday PS5 units will be stolen and sell for cheap, lol.
Yeah, just looking at 5700 XTs on PC Part Picker, there are some cards going for $400 USD and $750 CAD (conversion is $532 CAD). Like, it differs from manufacturer to manufacturer (some cards are literally 1:1 conversion, thankfully), but yeah it's pre nutsI just went through buying computer parts and everything was generously marked up at or beyond the USD exchange rate. Even came across one component that was literally 1.41 markup at retail USD vs CAD.

Yup. I'll probably be getting the PS5 1-2 years later, and it'll be most likely be 650$.
We're fucked.
Frys?Oh wait so what am I thinking of...

Don't forget the heavy tax, depending on your province!I just went through buying computer parts and everything was generously marked up at or beyond the USD exchange rate. Even came across one component that was literally 1.41 markup at retail USD vs CAD.

The only dipping sauce worth it's salt.DEAL
3 free chicken tenders with the purchase of a large drink at participating Ontario Popeyes locations on days the Leafs play at home. Today is one of those days.
1. Download the Toronto Maple Leafs official app
2. Click "Fans" at the bottom of the screen and find the promo under "Contests & Promotions"
3. When in line at Popeyes you enter a name and email address and wait for the cashier to watch you hit the submit button. If the cashier doesn't watch you do it then they can deny you the deal
4. Get the spicy tenders + blackened ranch dipping sauce or else MrNewVegas will yell at you
It ends up being about $2.60 after taxes depending on how much a large drink costs at your location.
You dip your chicken tenders into salt? Weird.
And I knew within like a couple of months prices would go up.I miss the good ole days of buying the PS4 at launch for 399 CAD.
I made the mistake of not pre ordering at launch for PS4 and it took me months to find one.
Now that the Ps5 is announce for 2020 holiday, anybody going to trade ps4 for day 1?
das it
Honestly, I think I would get more selling privately no?
edit: Just checked eb games. They'll give me $230 for a pro.
Lol fuck off.
I can get AT LEAST $300 for it. And $300 is me pretty much giving it away.
You can get 230 hassle free or deal with kijiji lowballers and flakes
A pro is worth AT LEAST $350 privately, if not more. A brand new one goes for $450, $500 with tax.
You gonna go in and trade in your pro for $230?
I'll deal with a flake or two.
Convenience is worth something, you may have the time and patience but many people do not
^This and you can avoid shitty buyers/sellers. Majority are good but there are times where you get the terrible ones. They wastes your time, gas, and patience.
Fair enough, I would just much rather pay the 10% and have it new and dont understand it.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.
