That was just my experience, I tried to be specific to give you an idea, but I can't say if others were hit with duties or not. Also, I never had to do the ID thing when I ordered. 0_o

Thanks very much for the help.
I'll try ordering from them then.
Hopefully I won't have to do that ID / credit card scanning, it sounds a little over the top to me.

My personal preference when buying MS points cards is to wait for when Futureshop or Bset Buy has a customer appreciation sale and they give 25% off on video game accessories. Basically, you'll be able to get a 1400 MS points card for $15 (plus tax) or a 2800 MS points card for $30 (plus tax). Occasionally, Toys"R"Us (and sometimes Staples) gives $5 off on a 1400 MSP card as well.

Okay, I know this isn't exactly cheap, but I spotted the original Overlord (360) for $39.99 at Toys"R"Us. Strangley enough, Toys"R"Us carries Overlord II at $19.99.

Zack & Wiki is now $4.95 at the blockbusters in Calgary, I've been told. Getting someone to pick it up for me. Excellent price.

I managed to get SSX Blur off Ebay for $2, so alls well there.

Folklore I can't find anywhere, especially for that low a price. Might have to resort to Ebay.


Cheers for the sources and suggestions and thank you Clark.Griswold and Poiuiu for your input aswell. Much appreciated!

Why did this thread get moved? It's been in the other forum for as long as I've been on CAG, like 2 years.

Anyway, is there a store that sells Pokemon Soul Silver/Heart Gold for under $40?

I was just about to comment on it as well. Can we move it back? I don't come here as often and since this one is at the top all the time I may miss something else.

Just my 2 cents anyway.

Word, I only stick to the one forum. This is gonna be a major inconvenience and it's not like the thread was off-topic. Should I write my Member of Parliament?

I'm also in agreement. Bad move by whoever moved it :(

BTW Zack & Wiki was $2.61 in the end at Blockbuster, but I didn't get original case or manual - which sucks, but the game itself for that much is a steal.

Is it so hard to click 'Deal Requests, Shopping Discussions & Bragging Rights [Canada]' at the top? Kudos to the mod's for moving all the bunk threads in here, although I agree this particular thread could've stayed where it was. Still, consistency is nice.

There are console cover websites online where you can print them out.

If you bought the game at BBV they will usually give you a case from another cheap used game if you didn't get a Wii case either. If you are lucky they'll have the rental copy and give you the cover and/or manual as well.

Yes it sort of is actually. I load literally hundreds of pages per day and a few less clicks wouldn't hurt along the way. Not just that, I think this thread was a great general dumping ground in the main part of the Canada forum. I bet it actually saved a lot of unnecessary new threads. Moving it here will do more harm than good imo.

Yeah, every time I had a random question I'd post it in here instead of making a new thread. There are gonna be a whole lot more threads in the other forum now asking simple questions.

Clark, in regards to your first point, laziness isn't a good excuse. I agree with your second point. Snake Eyes deliberately posted a new thread about Pokemon or something, despite knowing such threads were moved into the appropriate forum. It's a shame a veteran CAG cannot post a thread in the right location.

Irony lol

I checked Dell after reading his Pokemon question post. I remember seeing last week someone had it for $33, I was trying to remember where and checked Dell again and found the deal. It was $40 last night.

My sons been asking me to find it on sale somewhere everyday for the last few weeks. 10 minutes ago he just finished telling me $40 is too much for a DS game and he won't buy it till it's cheeper. Every store we go into he checks the price. He'll have a surprise Monday when the currier shows up.

Speaking of irony. This coming from someone withGeorge Costanza as their avatar is pretty ironic.

George is my idol by the way.

It looks like this thread got moved back to the original forum, nice.

Excellent. Viva la revolution!

I didn't know my Member of Parliament gave a crap. Apparently he moved fast like a swift hammer of justice and righted this wrong.
