    Default Do i buy a PS4 or wait till Boxing day?

    So, do I buy a PS4 with this bundle:

    http://www.walmart.ca/en/ps4-500-gb-...e-only/N-26991

    Or do I wait for Boxing day and expect a better deal (e.g., they had PS4 bundle for $369 on black Friday)

    bar none best deal is buy it on a 20X the points day at shoppers drug mart the points you get back is worth almost $170-$200 you can take that and buy games accessories or stuff you need for your house *also buy 450.00 in sdm gift cards to pay for the ps4 and get points off that also

    ya but it seems like you got a strange deal that wasn't available elsewhere (as in, they used the $100 off on the console rather then just give you it for instore credit)

    as DR2HTY said, best deal bar none is picking up a system at shoppers when they have the 20x the points sale.

    When I bought my XB1, We found a glitch. We bought the $550 in gift cards first, which netted us $170 in points, Then used those gift cards to buy the console, netting another $170 in points, and the extra from those 2, got us another $85 in points.

    So in reality, we paid like $100 for the xbox, and then used the points at a shoppers food store and stocked up on groceries, toiletries, bought a couple games, etc, all for free with the points.

    Ya thats right they used the 100 gift card when i bought it. Plus i got the points and used points. Shoppers is actually not a bad place to shop if you do it right.

    Sounds like there should be one this weekend. Looking into the giftcard and then purchase points, seems that may have been addressed by Shoppers, and you'll only get points on the playstation purchase. Still approx. $170 saving.Guess i'll get the flier and check out the fine print

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Had to coach the girls at register in what I wanted exactly, they thought I was a genius.
