nah lol just your typical ones involving angry customers and lineups that go on forever even with all registers active. treating retail workers with anything but kindness is lame shit. don't do that
How the fuck do I sound privileged?
Did I say I'm going to go there and start screaming at people and shit?
I can go and pick up a game or something and check out, can't I? Is that going to give retail staff nightmares?
So not sure what you're blabbling about honestly. If someone wants to go out and buy something, let them. Don't be an asshole. Have patience. That should just be common sense. But because I want to go out for Black Friday, I'm privileged.
Ok.

Buy one off a forum (kijiji or rfd for example). People selling BNIB consoles for less than retail because they cashing in points.
Heck no. Haven't you seen willy wonka chocolate factory? Warehouses are glorious places of wonder and joy. :)
I've worked in warehouses. Yeah, you don't deal with customers, 100% agree. But Christmas time its also stressful filling all those fucking orders where you barely have time to scratch your own ass.
I've worked for UPS and DHL. It's not all fun and games and while I don't work for those places anymore, I'm sure those warehouse employees are starting to feel it. Ordering online is not some panacea.
Someone I know ordered a 43 inch TV from Best Buy on the 20th and it still hasn't shipped, their website said it would be delivered the 21st =/ Best Buy person said they can't expedite the process until today....and it's not like the TV is out of stock
Purolator hasn't even picked it up yet, it only has a shipping label created =/

One of the best, if not the best, ultrawides is on sale now at amazon: LG 34GK950F-B 34"
I think that's the cheapest it's been in Canada

3600X for $229 on amazon. Lordy these prices are nuts. Makes up for the lack of amazing GPU deals.
I would just use bestbuy. Exact same price on there, plus I know what bestbuy is. Never heard of Sauga gamers and then you have to buy in USD?
If you want to use the code immediately, it's also the same price on psn.
3800x is $396 on Amazon too and comes with Borderlands 3, The Outer Worlds, and three months of gamepass. 3700x hasn't even hit that price yet.
This is a pretty awesome deal for someone considering Ultrawide:
Asus PG348Q for $800:
Maybe not the best today, but this was the best just a few years ago. There are potential (minor) issues with 100Hz overclocking for some people, but considering Best Buy's return policy, it's not too bad.
The next best thing would be a native 100Hz -> 120Hz overclockable monitor, but you're looking at $1150 minimum. This deal is hard to beat.

You can only pick one of those games, but bonkers deal nonetheless
3800x comes with both games. 3700x you pick just one.
I probably won't bother with staples because EB has CODMW for 60, which I believe is the best price currently. I don't actually believe that WM is OOS but I don't feel like calling or visiting a store to verify it. (WM is advertising it for 50.)
I see cdkeys has some discount on gamepass ultimate. Will this work for a canadian account?
gamepass ultimate discount
I see the flags are European countries on the right so I am hesitant

I've been getting non stop emails from every airline all week about sales they have. I don't often pay too much attention to them though, they always black out the good flight dates.
1660 Ti $330. It's about same price as or less than what 1660 super is going for right now. It's like 1-5 percent faster than super.
No deals on super around, but potentially if that goes cheaper that's a better buy. Seems unlikely though.

It's probably fine if the region says Worldwide, but also I'm not sure why you'd bother with this when EBGames also has 3-month Game Pass Ultimate codes for $25. No tax, either.
It says digital and they don't charge shipping for it despite being under the $50 free shipping threshold, so I'm going to say yes. I'd be shocked if they sent you an actual card. It's probably coming through Codes2Go, which handles digital code distribution for a whole bunch of stores in Canada.
The 3600X is still available at $260, still a pretty good deal.
Not sure if I'm sad that I missed the 3800X or not....still not totally sold on these AMD chips with their weird boost clock behaviour and hunger for really fast RAM. They are clearly lightyears better than what AMD was offering before, but there just seems to be a lot of weirdness around them.
Amazon - 8bitdo SN30 Pro Plus controllers are on sale for $55.19 tax free.
I really like using it on PC, don't know about the Switch other than hearing it can't turn on the console. I did get an odd technical issue while playing Deus Ex Human Revolution with it spiking frametimes to 30-80ms using bluetooth. Don't know if that was game specific as I didn't notice any serious problems with the (very) few other games I tried.

Was hoping to get a cheap Poke Ball Plus this Black Friday but with Nintendo of Canada not matching the deal from the States, GameStop and Target refusing to ship them outside of the U.S. and Amazon.com being cute about even reducing the price, I'm not sure it's in the cards.
Maaan...I love my non plus SN30 pro. Got it for 50 at best buy, with a free 25 gift card. I think this is a dope deal, especially for those looking for a Switch pro controller, since it has adjustable triggers, customizable buttons, macros, and a dpad that isn't garbage. Would have totally waited for this had I known
