I got the shipping notice last Thursday but haven't received it yet. I'm thinking today or tomorrow it should show up.

Some specialty shops that sell phone screen protectors will often provide that service for you if you want it. LIke $10 usually.
Last time I saw somebody buy one from EB, they applied it for them, for free I think.
Really, once you've done it once it's ridiculously easy. By far the easiest application I've ever done because it's stiff. Just set it where you'd like it, stick some stickers on the bottom to hold it in position, flip the top up, peel the backing and let it fall onto the screen.
we're moving from Vancouver to Victoria and had to give up our landline number (RIP my number since 1994) but even though it's a new area code, do we still keep our cell numbers? Anyone done it before?
We moved from Manitoba to Quebec 3 years ago.
Still have our Manitoba phone numbers.
Hasn't caused a single problem.
You can convert landlines to a wireless home phone if you want to keep the number. For cell phones if you have Canada-wide calling it's fine, but locals might be hesitant to dial an unfamiliar area code.
Yep, "hinge" method is the easiest. As long as you're not in a very dusty area then this can be done in 30 seconds.
I will third this - look up a youtube video on how to do this (I used masking tape). It's fairly painless.
How does that work? if a local phone calls you, that's local calling and wont charge you long distance?
It says from August 1 - August 9 :( I don't have prime if that makes a diffrence, pretty sad if it does.
When you call out it's local. When someone calls you it's long distance. But like 95% of people have free long distance now.
Wireless home phones plans should be Canada-wide calling so it wouldn't matter.
While I'm currently researching on PC specs for a new one, i want to ask your opinions about ACER cuz i heard it's better system for gaming and i want to believe if it's true or not. Thanks.
Can't pull it up atm, but I think the youtube channel "spawnwave" may have mentioned how to get some during a "let's repair this broken ebay switch" video. If it's just ebay, he'll likely mention the specific name or part you can look for
Acer is a good budget brand.
After what seems to be a lifetime, it looks like OLG is back with a bonus credit offer. What was the best way to use this again?

So I only just now found out that The Source's Xtreme Gaming line had a facelift seemingly back in 2016:
And I'm wondering if anyone's heard of any Switch accessories from them coming out yet? I assume they're still active, but from googling I couldn't find anything on Xtreme Gaming having any Switch accessories yet. Odd.

There was a pretty great write up when it happened last time that was removed by mods. In fact, I don't even know if even mentioning this at all is okay with the site rules. PM me or check the discord made especially for this (I believe OLG-talk isn't allowed on the actual Canadian Deals Era discord either)
Managed to cash out with exactly 69 bucks. Took forever though, since it requires 10x now
Guess I gotta go do this again lolAcer is a good budget brand.

Hey guys I've been out of the loop on that stuff for a while now but are there any deals floating around for the PC Game pass?
I used to have XBL Gold and the Xbox version of the Gamepass but both expired and I don't really care about the console stuff anymore since all the XB1 exclusives are also on PC anyway...

Though NPD has been dropping in Quebec even before Singh. NPD vote was more Layton and protest vote (kinda like Block is). So Block and Green are more competitor to NPD than Liberals or Conservative. For example, the place I grew up in is almost always PQ at provincial but went from Block to NPD and I expect it will be Block again.
What's the best/cheapest way to get a 3DS XL or 2DS XL these days? My 3DS XL just had five rows of dead pixel lines appear on the bottom screen out of nowhere and it's driving me crazy.
Just found out this thing under Canada Computers' deals and do you think this specs is good enough for gaming's experience? However, I'm still skeptical with warranty plans they're having: 2 years for $156 and 3 for $180...Errr.
Don't buy in extend plans. It's a well known rip off. Have a credit card that does that for free instead.
Not to get off topic, but anyone have experience with those battery packs/station? or should I just suck it up and go into a Microsoft store and get the official one? I'm tired of burning through batteries with my xbox controllers.

My top recommendation is to always go with the 1st-party official battery packs/chargers. Way too risky of there being any potential fire hazards, leaky batteries, bricking, etc.
Oh I see, does it comes with debit as well? (I don't own any CCs)
I have not seen any debit card with benefits like that. If you are disciplined with your finance, the credit cards benefits make them a really good choice. Just don't use them as a borrowing source. Use them like a debit, only buy with money you have and pay them in full each month.
Totally this. Been using some made in japan duracells found at staples for years. Excellent life in xbox controllers
In addition I'd recommend checking ebay. Got a refurb 2ds xl many months ago and it was perfect with a warranty left on it.
3ds/2ds are in a weird place right now. Literally the best time in the console cycle to buy. Lots of used ones out there as people "upgrade" to a Switch. Prices will probably drop further once Switch Lite comes out.
Just to add. I've smashed open a bunch of random battery packs. 100% of the ones I've smashed open simply contained some generic trash rechargeable AA's. You're never getting some fancy custom sized lithium cell or whatever you'd expect for the money you're spending.
So let's say, hypothetically, my cell phone number (only number) was involved in a data breach; think a cell carrier will change it for free in that instance?
I thought it didn't cost anything to change your number, maybe that was in the past
Nintendo of Canada's prices seem better than eBay's. Just $129.99 for a refurbished New 2ds XL. I'll probably go that route.
You won't be disappointed. Got a 3DS from them and it was like brand new in box.
