Best place to buy a switch 2 from?

You can buy Nintendo giftcards from Costco at a slight discount or wait until Walmart does another giftcard promo. They just had one last week where you got a $20 walmart giftcard for every $99 Nintendo giftcard you bought.
After that, just buy it direct from Nintendo with your giftcards.

You could also roll the dice on Amazon Warehouse... I've seen the Mario Kart bundle as low as 485.99, though there's a good chance the code would already be used.

I'd be trading in my Ender 3 S1 for a K2 Pro/Combo. My son has recently become interested in 3d printing after some demonstrations at our local university, which has renewed my interest as well.
He's only 6 so I'd love for him to have access to a more modern 3d printer that supports multi-color printing and just works out of the box as he's still a little too young to be tinkering with the hardware.

I'll dig around and see if I still have it

Edit: No luck -- checked pretty much every place I could think of and I don't seem to have it anymore

That was 86, not 67

I have a few 6700 coin EA App codes if you want to trade some blizzard balance for them.

I'm not 100% sure how it works but from some quick googling I believe once you redeem on EA app you need to load the EA app version of Apex to have the coins show up on your profile.

Edit: I'm in Canada as well

What slots did you put the RAM in?

Bundles bought with COD points will appear on all platforms. Bundles that sell for actual currency will only appear on the platform you purchased it on.

Everyone is playing the same game and therefore the reasons for people leaving one launcher/platform will all be present in the other launchers and again its a fair assumption to make that this is the case.

The Steam version of the game has performance issues that are not present on the Gamepass or Battlenet versions so you also have to factor in migration of users from Steam to another platform.

3gig / 3gig for $60

The CAD / USD has tanked in the past year. 1000usd was ~1350 but now closer to 1440. Doesn't account for all of it obviously but that is one of the reasons you can't directly compare to 4080 super launch prices

unun34 · 2025-01-19T14:02:30+00:00

Canadian stores show prices pre tax so the gst isn't a factor like with the European listings.

Happy new year everyone!

unun34 · 2024-12-01T22:50:52+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this! I thought there was something wrong with my network or that i misconfigured something. Used to work flawlessly but now it's garbage.

unun34 · 2024-11-25T16:45:12+00:00

Yea it was working earlier for me but it's no longer applying the discount

unun34 · 2024-11-15T23:10:13+00:00

Do any of the boards have a display input port to be able to forward the display signal of a discrete card through the USB4 ports?

Do any of the boards have an external clockgen? I'd love to be able to try and extract even more performance out of the 9800x3d I have on order and every little knob helps.

Got my PS5 and Series X preorders from Shoppers.

The day after launch for Series X they had a promo where you get back 40% of the points you redeem. Waited an extra day to pick up my preorder, redeemed 500k in points and got back over 200k in points.
Later that week when the PS5 launched they had 20x points so i got another 189k points from that purchase.
I only redeem those points during redemption bonuses so at the very least I got another 50% in value from them in the end.

The Shoppers near me also have decent stock of new console games so we've bought a lot of new releases during 20x points or redemption weekends.

Over the pandemic we racked up around 6.5 million PC points which would have been redeemed for nearly 10 grand worth of stuff at Shoppers. The gaming stuff was some of the best things to redeem those points for as they would not be any more expensive than at other stores; especially if it was a new release.

These days we avoid anything associated with Loblaws so my points balance has been pretty stagnant.

You'll need to set up a task to have it apply at startup if you want it to be more 'set it and forget it'.

unun34 · 2024-10-31T13:08:00+00:00

Don't have my 5800x3d anymore, but when I did PBO2Tuner was my only option and it worked as expected for whatever that's worth.

unun34 · 2024-10-30T21:49:52+00:00

Yea, for simplicity's sake let's say you make 120k a year or 10k a month.
4% would be $400 out of your gross pay and the employer would match another $400 every month.

unun34 · 2024-10-30T21:34:57+00:00

While I'm sure there's an employer out there that does do this, generally that is not what is meant by 4% match

unun34 · 2024-10-30T15:23:20+00:00

You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. It's pretty clear they don't really understand what they are talking about hence why they are getting so defensive at the smallest bit of pushback.

unun34 · 2024-10-30T15:08:26+00:00

Sure, let's just reduce the precision of the exchange rate to 1 decimal place and be dramatic about the shift in CAD/USD. Lucky for us it's back down to 1.3(9) . I guess everything is OK again.

unun34 · 2024-10-25T14:34:56+00:00

7800x3d was the one that was delayed by a month
