Got a decent deal, picked up a PS4

So, for those that don't know, we in Canada got fisted when the Canadian dollar went down - Sony upped the price of a PS4 from $399 to $449. Me, being stubborn, refused to pay the new price. I was waiting for a bundle to come out to somewhat lessen the price increase.

From June 10-12 Futureshop.ca had the PS4 w/ Infamous Second Son for $469 - I figured getting I:SS for $20 vs. the regular $70 was a good enough excuse to get one.

Speaking of I:SS, I beat the damn game in two days on the hardest difficulty. I have to do the web-featured Paper Trail quest still, but I'm in no rush - I'll likely go and grab Watch Dogs today.

Another decent deal futureshop had going on: If you pre-ordered 3 games that were announced or covered at E3, they would give you up to $20 off per game. I pre-ordered Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor (msrp $70 CND, got for $49.99) and Metal Gear Solid 5 (msrp $70 CND, got for $49.99) for the PS4, and Smash Bros for the Wii U (msrp $65 CND, got for $46.42).

So... yay! Back to console gaming for me (at least for now)

I keep seeing deals for a PS4 for $350ish USD. I want to buy one, but I won't have time to play it until later in the year so I haven't.

I think I'm gonna hit up kijiji when September rolls around. I did get a bit of a chub on when I saw the white PS4+Destiny bundle, but that's going for $499 (or $560 w tax). I've seen the systems themselves for $350-400 on kijiji. Either way, still going to be an expensive NHL 15 machine.
