As posted in the other Amazing Deals threads..
I was just looking at the flyers for Boxing Day, and us Canadians are in for a treat. I'll be damned if this isn't one of the best gaming-related Boxing Days yet! They're coming out of every orifice! The flyers are literally
excreting the discounts..
I'll list the relevant ones on a store-by store basis. All prices in Canadian dollars, of course..
Superstore:I love Superstore, and it has outdone itself this time.
All original DSes - only $89.98!! That's mind-blowing. I'm so tempted to buy yet another one for my family.
GameCube PLUS Super Smash Bros Melee - $89.98. I saw it for that price over a year ago somewhere, but this is with SSBM. Can't go wrong (retail for that bundle is $160)..
All value video games $9.98 - they're usually $19. I'm going to pick up a couple of obscure or old titles that I missed.
SD Cards - Sandisk 512MB: $9.98, Kingston 1GB $19.98
Future Shop:DS Lites - $129.99 (regularly $150)
Intec Universal Racing Wheel - $19.99 (regularly $50)
SD Cards - Kingston 2GB: $29.99
Zellers:DS Lite PLUS WiFi Connector - $164.94 (save $20)
50% off ALL games under $30 (wow)
WalMart:Players Choice games - $18.63 (save $10)
GameCube console - $77.93
Best Buy:2 1GB PNY SD Cards - $29.99 (save $70)
So in conclusion, everyone who hasn't bought a DS,
PICK ONE UP ON THE 26th!!.....
Also, I was extremely surprised to see the low prices of the Xbox 360. I guess it didn't sell well here during the holiday season, but Microsoft is going all out for Boxing Day. I read once that the Xbox doesn't do as well in Canada, so that may be the reason. But I digress.
In at least 3 places (FS, BB and Walmart I believe) the
premium bundle PLUS Ghost Recon PLUS Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged is only around $400 CDN. That's unbelievable, especially when you consider that the console itself without the games is usually $500 CDN.
Finally, we all know the PSP's sales situation, so a discount was inevitable. Future Shop has the console plus a case for $180 ($70 saving) and Best Buy has it for the same price but no case. That's actually a pretty reasonable price if I was looking for a PSP. Or an Xbox 360 for that matter. But I'm not..
