15% off accessories? Boo. Used to be 20%.

Economic crisis, recession, blah, blah. Retailers are so damned stingy these days.

Too bad Canada still don't get PSN cards.. I'd be all over this if it was on sale here

It says ''excludes consoles'' by the 10% off video games. So this means console games, or the systems themselves?

 

[SickBoy]

It means console hardware.

Do we have to have their Best Buy Card thing to get the discount?

 

[rkenshin]

Does Wii Fit count as an accessory or game?

I believe it counts as a game, I think it falls under the same category as the Guitar Hero/Rock Band bundles.

I don't know why Best Buy Canada even bothers with these sales. I guess they want to try and get the smart people who know that their chain is a joke to come in. They are going to have to do better to get me in the building.

All games bundled with accessories are considered as game.

You can get accessories that never go on sale, like Wii/XBL points.

You're right. I guess not having to pay the taxes on those cards is a good deal. I was more disappointed that software only gets 10% off.

I think its for those folks who are on the fence about a purchase, they figure "oh well i was going to buy it anyway better save X%"

Ouch only 5% off laptops under $1000.

I think Ill buy MS points in order to get the GTA4: Lost and Damned DLC.

After doing some basic math, 25$ for the dlc package in store is actually more expensive than using 1600 MS Points on the marketplace to get the same dlc.

That 15% off accessories will affect both the price of that dlc pack AND MS points so you might as well get points instead.

In Canada, 20$=1400ms points & 40$=2800ms points...
So if you have a spare 200 ms points on your account you should get the 1400 card instead of the GTA4: L&D card
If you dont have any spare points you will have to get a 2800 card making your purchase bigger but at least you'll know that you got those points with 15% off...

Anyone know of the 60GB HD + 3 months of live counts as an accessory or is it considered hardware too?

 

[firehawk12]

Is the checkout discount thing working? I still get normal prices.

It's in the hardware category, so I'd go with that.

 

[dave17]

I actually ended up buying a laptop. 5% still gave me a 30$ off, which is nice.
