Which version? Both the PS3 and XBox 360 versions can be purchased online from futureshop.ca for $39.99.

I'm going to try and get Superstore to match the price and then use the $10 off coupon.

Dammit, I swore not to buy this game, but $35 is tempting.

Nevermind, I just remembered EB Games gives $40 credit for it, so it is a win-win situation.

This was $24.99 on Steam for PC on Dec. 24. Thank goodness for online downloading. Maybe one day consoles will get boxing day sales on their marketplaces.

The Sammy has the better reviews, and buying at Costco has it's benefits as well. Leaning towards this one for sure, but will go have peek sometime today.

Anyone seen a good deal on a 1TB+ SATA2 HDD online? Memex has a 1TB Barracude on for $40, but they're not online and I can't force myself to brave that store today.

If there is a rogersplus in Calgary, hit that up for games as it is buy 1 get 2 free. I did pretty well here in Ottawa as I picked up 9 games which I'm hoping to turn into a kinect and little big planet 2 via eb games.

I'm thinking about getting the MacBook Pro too. Future Shop has it for $1099. There's a Best Buy exclusive one for $1149. Do you know what the difference between the two is? They have different serial numbers.

Before you buy a Sony TV, you may want to read up about their quality control. See here: http://wesleytech.com/i-have-a-defective-sony-tv/2213/.

Sony TVs have a tendency to fail shortly after the warranty is up.

I am completely of the opinion that the best place to buy tvs is at costco. Last two purchases of tvs were at costco and best buy was the closest competitor but couldn't come close to the price.

check out the models that come with tv stands as well when at costco.

Yeah I think the cheaper Samsung that is also on sale is the very basic entry level LED, no 120 Hz if that is a deal breaker. I think a few of the big stores have it as well, Leons, Best Buy

Memory Express in the south was lined up to the road. Got there at 745 and had my new laptop bought by 915. When we left there was still a 100ish people in line.

That is only for their RPTVs, and that DID happen to me, with my TV out of warranty.

Sony let me purchase a 46" 1080p LCD TV to replace my busted 46" 720p RPTV for $200.

Quite a deal, and they helped me out the whole way, esp. considering that TV was over 5 years old.
