Zellers' bargain bin section?

Mercenaries 2 seems to be $19.99 at most places...try EB Games, they may have it for $9.89 (although unlikely), but it doesn't hurt to try. Overlord is currently $39.99 at Video Games Plus, which seems to be the cheapest option.

Sears? I know my store has three copies sealed. $19.99.

hey guys, just wondering, what's the cheapest way to ship games across Canada? I hear $2, but that's just to ship, right? Then you have to add another $2 or so for the packaging?

Packaging shouldn't be more than $.50 since all you really need is a padded envelope which you can get at a dollar store. I've gotten a 3-pack of #0 (should fit standard DVD cases perfectly) for $1 at Dollarama in the past.

Oh awesome, thanks Jbently, I was silly enough to purchase a CD bubble envelope from the post office for $1.79! I'll definitely hit up the dollar store before shipping off anything else. Thanks again!

Also if you want to be extra cheap you can pick up the largest size mailers they have (which still come in a 3 pack) and you can cut them in half so you get 6 mailers for $1. You just need to seal the end with packaging tape once you put the game in. Also the bigger envelopes are perfect for sending 2 games to the states because you can put them in side by side instead of stacked on top of each other and save a couple of bucks on the shipping since it still qualifies as light packet.

hey killmak, thanks for the advice on the bubble mailers!

Anyone seen inFamous up for pre-order for less than $70? Amazon.ca just dropped their price from $70 to $66.99, was hoping for something more like $60. I guess it's a little early to know what most stores are going to be charging on launch day.

It will almost certainly be $70 at most stores when it comes out. Even recent games that came out at $60 (ie. Killzone 2) are having their prices increased to match the new exchange rate.

^ i did notice that too Payne....

69.99 for killzone ;0

Do you guys know how to put funds into the psn wallet without using a credit card?
I heard you can use this paypal plugin and it makes a temporary cc out of your paypal account. I looked it up but its only for US.
I only have debit card so I can't put any money in the wallet.
If you guys know how, please tell me, thanks!

You could track down some PSN cards. I read they were supposed to be selling them in Canada by now, but I've never seen one. Could try ordering some online.

ordering online means using paypal right?
i don't want to go through the hassle of waiting for shipment and paying for shipping atm lol

if you have a paypal account it's in USD right? I thought if you put money into a paypal acct it converts to USD.

I remember spending weeks trying to find out if there was a Canadian Paypal and came up with nothing.

If you can get money into a paypal account actually creating the temp CC is easy enough. They also say it only works for windows but yeah that didn't hold true.

You can use the bigger ones to mail 2 games (or 3 PSP) flat within canada for 2.65.

Most people use bubble envelopes but they really arent needed. Columbia house sends piles of dvds in paper envelopes without problem.

So if i put $30 can in to my paypal. Is it going to be $30 canadian in there until i purchase something in USD?
Does it automatically use the highest convert rate that day?
I don't want to be charged with the highest rate lol.
How do you create a temp CC? is it with the plugin?
I tried downloading the plugin but it said its only for americans. So it won't let me download it.

Check Walmart, I think I saw an RFD thread saying it was $58 there.

When you guys use goozex, do you typically use case+disc or disc-only? Both for sending and requesting stuff.. just curious

now I can't 100% this since I haven't had the opportunity to use my paypal acct since i arrived in Canada but my understanding was that. If you put money in your acct it gets converted to USD. SO if you put in 100 CDN your account will get +80USD or whatever the exchange rate is. I imagine the rate probably isn't the best they're not a bank after all and yada yada yad.

as for creating the temp CC that's going to be a bit tricky not because it's hard but because I've forgotten the interface it's been that long. Basically you CAN use the plugin but what I do is use the website. You can do a similar thing and paypal will save the full information of your CCs online so I have a list that shows the last three CCs I created (Numbers, exp dates, security numbers ammount charged, max charge and so forth) so you just use that information when you're plugging it into the PSN.

Now since I'm pretty much broke at the moment i haven't done much online buying since I came to Canada. My paypal situation is obviously going to be a bit different from you since I created it in the US.

What I'm currently setting up and this might work for you is a US bank account. I have my RBC (Can) Account and I set up a US Access account so soon I'll have two account CAN/US. I simply linked my paypal to my US account and what I do is transfer money online from my CAN to US acccount and then from there to paypal. (now that i think about it I could probably just create the CC and paypal will auto deduct from the linked account.
