Really hoping for some Summer of Arcade discounts this month (been waiting a while for Bastion). Perhaps as we get closer to the holidays...

I don't know if there's an "etiquette" per se, but if you're buying them with the intent to use them, I can't really see a problem with that. The only other pass would be if you're giving them as gifts or selling them for the same price you paid. If you sell them for a profit then in my eyes...

Looks like I was overly optimistic in my previous post, they were all gone by about 7:15 AM. On the bright side, they did give me a raincheck for 2 (a reasonable number) which is an option until they realize they've given out about a thousand of them and stop :) Another option would be to try...

Oh goodie, the annual opportunity for the hoarders to annoy me by clearing every store within a 20k radius of XBL cards by noon on Friday. Deals like this are apparently only for the unemployed and those without 9-5 jobs.

Ya, I was just thinking how cruel it is to revive this thread for those of us that totally missed it the first time :-)

I've been gaming for a very long time and I don't ever recall seeing deep discounts on gaming stuff on Boxing Day. If, as you say, people expect big deals on this stuff it makes me wonder where that expectation comes from. I'm not intending to single you out but I'd love someone/anyone to...

Just out of curiosity, what exactly is a "good deal"? I'm curious because I often see people lament that there are no good deals this . Then I see people say deals were better (even though I could swear people complained those weren't very good either). I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm just...

So far I'm really liking my Optimus 7 but it's only been a few weeks. I kind of wish I waited now though. The deals are coming fast and furious.

Not to turn this into a cell phone provider debate but isn't WIND only available in limited areas? I don't recall ever seeing them around here (London)

Telus is offering a free 4GB XBox 360 slim with the activation of any Windows Phone 7 (they have two models) on a 3-year-term. Not red-hot by any means but not a bad deal if you're in the market for a new phone. With the XBox Live integration on the phone, this is a great tie-in. This of...

I'm thinking points cards are the one thing you could probably move. The other stuff though? Even 10% off probably wouldn't convince me to buy a system or hardware from somewhere I couldn't return it. IMHO the game discounts were good, but nothing worthy of crawling the city in search of...

The irony to all of this is that these hoarders will discover that people's interest in these deals were solely based on the deep discount. Who's going to buy brand new hardware from kijiji for nearly full price? It will be humorous to see these hoarders struggle to sell the same stuff Rogers...

Looking at posts on both RFD and here there are reports of people spending well over $1000 and clearing out almost all of the inventory from a single store. You think those people are taking that stuff for personal use?? You damn well better believe people like that (and the Ottawa guy linked...

Wow. How on earth can they possibly sell those points cards at a 75% discount?! I can't help but wonder who's getting fired over that little mis-type. As I believe I've seen people point out in this forum before, that's like giving a discount on cash. I just don't know how you run a...

Although I still haven't heard anything about a price drop (I haven't really been looking, mind you) this is now the second retailer (after Walmart) to drop the price to $179. Seems to be some kind of indicator...
