I'd rather give my money to BB than Amazon when they're the same price.
that sounds like a pretty neat concept. Thanks for the explanation. I'll keep an eye out for the console if I see it go online and let you know.
I just preordered The Ladyrith of Refrain for PS4 cuz I was enjoyed playing a lot with demo before and I liked it.
Bizarrely, Amazon is $50 more.
But Im a little concerned that Best Buy won't deliver. Like they'll sell out or something,....that's ludicrous right?
It stems from when I ordered Gears 3, they could not deliver on their pre-order bonuses :(
The AC Switch? Because it's easily the prettiest LE Switch they've released so far. At least, that's my reason.
I'm not even getting the game, lol. (Maybe as a voucher game if I can't find anything before they expire.)
Ah, fair enough. lol
I guess I took the excuse of upgrading to the 3DS XL when I got the Monster Hunter one even though I don't play MH. lol
Just surprised at the thing selling over so quickly.
Do we have to pay shipping for a physical copy? $54 with free shipping, honestly, I can get behind double-dipping. It isn't $80 at least
Shipping to Canada was like $5. Physical all in for me was $60 CAD
+/- whaterever the Canadian Dollar is at when the campaign ends and any foreign exchange your credit card charges. To be more accurate, physical was 4,945 yen total shipped to Canada.
I was luckily able to grab an AC:NH Switch while randomly checking Best Buy yesterday afternoon. That being said, I'll join the Discord for future items/sales!
Looks like Best Buy has the New Horizons Edition Switch back up for pre-order.
You can order it right now at Best Buy, it'll ship next time it's in stock
On Apple TV 4K it streams 1080p now. Still not 4K, but stream quality is noticeably better than it was in the dark days of night-time episodes of Game of Thrones.
Have you ever compared it with the iTunes versions of stuff, maybe I'll sub for a month and see how it is.
Catherine looked incredible despite being 1080p on iTunes.
iTunes has the best streaming bit rates of all of them. But as far as watching new hbo shows goes, it's more than fine
I kind of wish curb your enthusiasm went back to 480p/standard def. some of the charm is lost in high def

CloseTalker Do you know if Prime Video differs from US to Canada?
Just Watch has a whole bunch of stuff that isn't on the Canadian Prime for some reason... "The Wolf of Wall Street", "Parasite"... etc.

I remember there was a tinier game store in the area near the university, but everyone else moved out of downtown.
Yes it does. If you use a proxy/vpn, you can see the US catalogue (as with Netflix).
I think everyone's moved out of the core now. Game-Centre closed their Yonge and Charles location and is somewhere on the Danforth (nice store though!), and I know Game Mania is at Bloor and Keele. I think there might be a store around College and Bathurst but I've never been personally.
Wow what the hell, that's lame. Expected, but, still.
Maybe Prime will be the subscription I only get temporarily once a year, then, to catch up with the Amazon shows once a year.
I feel like we went from a ton of stores in the downtown core to nothing. Game Shack moved up near Yorkdale AFAIK. IceMan moved out of the city a couple of years back.
At least I live near Game Mania.
Oh if you're just talking about the Prime exclusive shows, most of those are universal - the only exceptions are exclusive re-licenses like Star Trek Picard, which is available on Prime everywhere except the US and Canada.
But their licensed catalogue is definitely different across the world because of licensing, like the other platforms.
I swore I wouldn't do Kickstarters anymore, but the price is fair so I'm all in for a physical copy.
There was an exclusive directors cut on iTunes, but I don't know if they made it available everywhere now.
Yeah the one I saw on Prime definitely wasn't the Director's cut. Would have been nice to have that on Prime though
Question for those who use Microsoft Rewards. Are the Best Buy gift cards usable to buy eShop gift cards?
Also I have a 3 month Xbox Live Gold code I got as a reward from it but I'm not sure if I want it, how much would someone here buy it for?

Best options are Game Mania (near Keele) or Game Centre (near Pape station). The only other option is Last Gen On College near Beverly), It's a super small store so don't expect big selection but he gets some good stuff from time to time for a fair price (Game Centre is sadly the best spot for deals out of the TO lot).
I miss Iceman, I should have bought more before they closed their DT store. :(
If you go to Orfus Road nears Dufferin's intersection, there's a new corner around and you will see a large, retail store (It's only a few blocks in walk) that have several video games and toptable board games as well. Maybe that's your alley?
I'll check it out when I have a chance. Thanks. I have been playing board games a lot recently with my friends. Catan is really gooood.
Yeah that's Game Shack. Much bigger than their prior stores, but that's mostly due to the back of it being reserved for card playing (like at A&C).
Solid selection of out of print current gen stuff like plenty of rare sealed Switch stuff during the couple times I was there over the past year or so.
For me, picking it up in store was my best bet. I used that wal-mart stock tracker posted a while back.
