As a former buy Playstation at release and get hyped for Gran Turismos, I've learned my lesson.

I'll consider buying the PS5 when GT comes out a few years after release.

I'm mad that I bought EverSpace 2... Never again!

Been playing some The Riftbreaker... It's kind of like a close up RTS with some twin stick shooter and tons of base building, tech trees, etc. I'm not into it but I think a lot of people will LOVE it.

Best buy just got in a huge shipment of ps5s @ locations across Canada.

Hondaracer 11-14-2021 11:09 AM

Missed out on this one :/

Still looking for a Ps5 digital version if anyone has any leads

^Put your name down on the waiting list @ Gamespot.

Each location has their own waiting list, I'd recommend calling the Lougheed/Metro/Oakridge locations.

Hehe 11-15-2021 02:13 PM

^

Second this... My friend put down his name on the waitlist at a local EBGames and got called in about 3weeks for him to come pick it up.

He was only given an hour to pick it up before they will give it to someone else on the list though. So, put down your name and be ready or have someone who can be ready to pick it up at moment's notice

mikemhg 11-15-2021 04:26 PM

Sorry, meant EBGames :lol

Thanks, Hehe.

But yes do that, a friend of mine did the same and he was called fairly quickly.

i thought you're right the first time mike...didn't eb games officially change their name to gamestop canada?

Vansterdam 11-16-2021 07:41 AM

eb games/ gamestop was the worst website to try and get a ps5 when they had stocks online

nabs 11-16-2021 09:03 AM

I'm really tempted to get an XBOX specifically for Forza Horizon 5....

I'm pretty excited for GT7, but don't know if I can wait that long.

Might be the corporate name, but pretty sure they're still named EBGames.

Either way, friend put his name on the Lougheed and Oakridge lists and ended up getting a call @ Oakridge not long thereafter.

Worth a try.

They did change their name to Gamestop to align with the US stores. I noticed the sign the other day at a local mall with the new signage.

Why are you changing the name to GameStop?

We feel it’s the perfect time to align the brand with our US parent company, given the investment GameStop is making in service, experience and technology. You are the priority and we wanted you to benefit from all the amazing things yet to come!

Looking for two Xbox controllers to connect to my PC. Is the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 ($25) necessary to connect two controllers to PC? Or does the built-in bluetooth work fine already?

Was reading that one controller via bluetooth is fine, but anything more might be more complicated connecting without the adapter.

Razor Ramon HG 11-23-2021 12:45 PM

Get the adapter

SkinnyPupp 11-23-2021 03:18 PM

I think only the Elite 2 controllers can connect via Bluetooth? Or maybe it's all Series X.. I know the Xbox One Elite doesn't have Bluetooth, so I bought the adapter.

It's not great, I get signal loss when it's plugged into the back of my PC, which I sit right next to. Have to use a front USB port. I think it's interfering with my Bluetooth signal back there maybe.

Hondaracer 11-24-2021 11:17 AM

So I walked into GameStop Lougheed and they had the digital PS5, perfect

But then they tell me anyone buying the console NEEDS to buy 2 accessories? Lol what kind of fucking scam is this.. I ended up buying a second controller and basically this throw away 3rd party pack that comes with a garbage head set and a charging dock..but that seems kinda fucked? Lol..

StylinRed 11-24-2021 11:30 AM

What? :lol did they sell/advertise it as a bundle? Cuz that's just silly if they came up with it like randomly

Hondaracer 11-24-2021 11:40 AM

Yea…and of the 6 accessories or so 3 of them weren’t even Sony, they were this shittt 3rd party garbage like the head set/dock I got as one of them..

Yeah it's some bullshit how they do that, at least if it's an additional controller it's worth it. Headset or something like that, fuck no.

Hondaracer 11-24-2021 01:30 PM

Well yea and I even want the actual Sony headset eventually but I didn’t feel like spending another $140 when all I had planned was to buy the console itself (suppose to be a secret Santa gift from someone in my family to me, but they couldn’t be bothered to look for one lol)

Some quotes from RFD, I haven't bought one so I can't confirm.
Quote:

The GameStop in Nanaimo, BC has series x in stock. Traded in my one X for $250 and picked up a series X. They are only selling them if you get some $49 accessory bundle or a $69 game with the purchase.

The required add-on is corporate policy, it's literally a cross-country requirement.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because it's literally the same thing at every single store in the country! Anyone here that's bought one from them can confirm that.

Every PS5/XSX purchase has to include either a controller, a game, or one of their play and charge/accessory kits (the ones with a set of headphones in them).

Razor Ramon HG 11-24-2021 02:31 PM

I think it's not too bad if you were planning to buy one of their Black Friday sale games or a controller.
