    Holy cajoles. Thread views!

    I've been on here for years and check out the Canadian threads a few times a day but I only post every so-often. I'll post a deal if I find a good one but most of the time I get beaten to it. I'm also not one to reply to deal posts with things like "I'm in" or "Great find". There's nothing...

    [CANADA]WalMart matching US Flyers(YMMV?)

    The WalMart here in Sarnia, ON has started matching prices in ANY flyer including ones from the States. This very-well could be a localized thing because we're right on the border and with the strong dollar,they want to keep shoppers here in Canada, but with such an opportunity it might be worth...

    [Canada] Mario Galaxy Watch

    Got mine at Future Shop in Sarnia for $49.99. FYI - It came with a "Collector Coin" that actually has it's own DVD sized box and an inner sleeve with a molded area for the coin to sit. I didn't go there to get the coin (didn't even know about it), but it is actually pretty impressive for an FS...

    [CANADA] Trade 4 at blockbuster?

    They wouldn't take my Kameo and PGR3 that were marked "Not For Resale" in Sarnia, but the guy was nice about it so that's cool. That BOGO sale at EB is working out great though. Go in and get 4 $10 360 games for a total of $30 after discount and you're off to the races! So far I have seen PGR3...

    XBOX360 General Questions - Setups/Hrdwr/Accessories/XBOX Live...etc.

    If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it. I just got my second replacement unit since launch and when I plugged my wireless adapter back in it shows that thee aren't any networks available. Everything is exactly how it was before I sent the old unit away and I am typing this on a...

    [Canada] EB Trade 3 deal

    I've been to the ones in London. They all seem pretty good. I remember years ago when I bought a used copy of Pikmin, the store I was in didn't have a book for it and the girl in there called the rest of the stores in the city just to get me one. So that got them in my good books right there...

    [Canada] CP raised Light Packet rate those bastards

    S-Wind is totally right. I live in a border town and I've started driving to the states just to mail packages. Even with the bridge toll it works out cheaper and seems to get there quicker. Pretty sad when you think of it.

    US 1600 microsoft points card work in Canada?

    Maybe not so stupid. I have only bought one card (1600) in the States and it DID NOT work. Kept saying the code was invalid, but when I called MS support, they said the code should work. So there actually could be something that keeps an American card from working on a Canadian XBL account. I...

    Oblivion. That should give you about a month to figure out what to get next.

    Worst Nintendo Character Ever

    Little Mac's trainer from the original Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! That fat fucker would ride the bike while you had to run behind it in all sorts of weather. He should be the one jogging! Prick.

    [Canada] Wii Component Cables @ Future Shop

    I got some. Seem to work fine for me. Once out of the package, they are actually very sturdy and thick feeling cables - not what I was expecting. If you don't want to wait for them to come in the mail or for first party cables to arrive in stores, I think I'd feel comfortable recommending these...

    Loblaws Super Centre

    The owner's name really is Bob. He gave a big donation to some school in the Toronto area that my friend's brother was attending and when they brought him out to present the cheque, everyone laughed at his name. Apparently he wasn't ammused!

    Former Michigan coach Bo Schembechler dies at 77

    I live an hour north of Detroit on the Canadian side, and he was a favourite up here too. People loved the Coach. Sad day. Go Blue.
