Neil Gaiman is a living legend. He’s written tons of books and short stories and has been dong some awesome work with Audible. Audible has something called Neil Gaiman Presents which is a series of books handpicked by Neil and turned into audio books which he produces. But that’s not why we’re here.

Portable or pro, Koss and Amazon Canada have something for you!

•  Click here to buy your Koss headphones @ Amazon.ca

There are three sets of headphones available in this sale.

• Koss KSC75 Portable Stereophone Headphones - Was $24.99 – Save $12 – Now $12.99
• Koss KTXPRO1 Titanium Headphones – Was $24.99 - Save $12 – Now $12.99
• Koss MV1 Professional Studio Stereophone - Was $199.99 – Save $110 – Now $89.99

Wow. This sale is weird. usually you get a good range of cheap to expensive but Amazon has done both ends of the spectrum on this one. Oh well, either way the deals are good. Shipping will be free on the more expensive pair. Shipping on the cheaper ones is going to run around $5 depending on where you live.

Koss has been around for a long time and has always made good sounding headphones for their price. Some people have complained that the build quality isn’t the best so if you’re rough on your gear, these might not be the best choice.

I have owned a set of Koss headphones but it was quite a while ago so I don’t remember much about them other than having them for a long time. The fact that I remember having them for a while is probably a good sign since I’m notoriously rough on my stuff. Anywho, it seems to me that I used them with my Diskman back in the day and I carried that thing around with me forever.

Have you ever owned Koss headphones? Is there a brand of electronics that you used to love but haven’t had in a while? Let us know in the comments below. Why? Because we all love you very, very much.

Statistics show that if you own a smartphone or tablet, it’s more likely to be a Samsung or iPhone than anything else. Get a case for your super popular phone at Black’s Canada!

 Click here to get your new phone case @ Blacks.ca

• Coupon Code: GIFTS4DAD25
• Discount: 25% Off Samsung, iPhone and iPad Cases
• Expiry: 16th June 2013

Samsung and Apple are the kings of mobile devices. They make the best, they sell the most. There is a problem with both of these phones though: they’re fragile. They’re fragile in different ways though. Samsung phones are fragile like knee pads are fragile. If you fall, the knee pads are going to get scratched up. They still work and if you don’t like that they are scratched, you buy a new one. If your Samsung phone gets scratched, it’s probably going to be on the removable plastic back. You can buy a new one and toss the old one. The iPhone is like a diamond. It’s pretty but if you damage it you need to buy a new diamond. You can’t just replace a part for a few bucks. Same thing for iPads but to a lesser extent.

But regardless of which phone you have, you should protect it. Black’s has tons of great cases and they are all 25% off with the coupon code above! For more deals from Black’s check out our Black’s Coupon Codes!

Shipping varies, depending on your location.

Hockey season is almost over but training never is. Train better with a slide board from HockeyShot Canada.

Click here to get your slide board @ HockeyShot.ca

• Coupon Code: HSSLIDE15
• Discount: 15% off slide boards
• Expiry: 24th May 2013

I started writing a bit of info on the slide board but then I saw this video and I thought it really did a better job than I  was doing so here it is.

Just on a side note, this guy is really good. Maybe it’s because I’m not an athlete but he seemed like he knew what he was doing. If you don’t wanna watch the video basically a slide board is a board (yep) that you can slide on (uh-huh) from side to side to simulate skating. It helps exercise your legs and get used to the lateral motions you need to make while skating. The video showed this guy using the slide board in conjunction with a stick handling practice pad and a net to add another level to his stick handling and shooting practice.

Shipping varies on what you get and where you live but expect to pay around $30 for standard shipping.

Check out our Hockey Shot Canada Coupon Code page for more deals!

Do yo have one of these? Want one of these? What do you use to practice skating off season? Let us know in the comments below!

There are a lot of cool PS3 bundles out there, but none are as good and as cheap as the one EB Games is offering! Get a PS3, four games, a year of Playstation Plus and a controller for $250!

• Click here to pick up your awesome PS3 bundle @ EBGames.ca

There really are a ton of PS3 bundles. You can get a PS3 bundled with Uncharted 3, or with Move, or with some other game or perk. The console is usually a standard black PS3 slim with a 320GB hard drive or smaller, and usually runs $300 or more.

The deal EB has on is a Crystal White PS3 Slim with four games, a controller and a year of Playstation Plus. The four games are: Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One, Little Big Planet 2 and Infamous 2. Those are all great games (especially Infamous 2) but wait-a-minute! That’s only three games, Shawn! What about the fourth! The fourth game is Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale! All you have to do is add it to your cart with the bundle, and the discount will be added at checkout.

You get all this for only $250! That’s $50 off the normal cost of the bundle without All-Stars. Adding in All-Stars for FREE gets you another $40 in value, making the grand total that you save $90. That’s not to mention the value of Playstation Plus for a year and the other three games.

Gonna run a boat? You need a license. Get it at Ace Boaters Canada and save!

Click here to get your PCOC @ AceBoater.com

• Coupon Code: ACEBOATER1
• Discount: $10 off PCOC
• Expiry: Unknown

These are the basics of the law we’re talking about here:

The boating license is now mandatory for all operators of motorized pleasure craft. Even if you are not the owner, when you operate a motorized boat, you must have proof of competency. There’s no minimum age to obtain the boat card. Regardless of the driver’s age, everyone is required to have the same same card.

The boat license is valid for life and allows you to operate all motorized pleasure craft (including electric motors) throughout Canada. If you do not have your operator card with you, you are subject to a $250 fine.

You can get the entire rundown of the PCOC and the coupon code on the Ace Boaters site.

If you’re on this site, it’s because you want to save money and I suspect that, for most of you, a $250 fine is not part of your overall money saving scheme. The course is $49.95, and you save $10 with this coupon. That means it’s only gonna cost you $39.95. There are extras you can add on, too. If you want three cards, it’ll be an extra $9.95 and a printed study book will be $19.95. The course is online and shipping is FREE for your card and the physical book, if you choose to get it.

For more deals from Ace Boater, stop by the Bargainmoose forum.

Do you have a boat? Do you use it for fishing or just to cruise around the lake? Let me know in the comments below!

It’s Victoria Day and that’s an excuse for Dell Canada to give you a great deal on an awesome Inspiron 15R laptop.

•  Click here to shop for your Victoria Day computer deal @ Dell.com

I just love how some of these retailers will take any excuse to put things on sale. What would Queen Victoria think if she knew that, a hundred years later, her birthday was being used to sell laptops? Well, she’s probably be terrified of laptops because… Well… She died in 1901. They didn’t have laptops back then.

But I know what I think of Victoria Day sales: Awesome. Any time that we save money is a good time. This particular laptop happens to be the same one I’m writing this on right now. It’s a great laptop. It comes stock with 8GB RAM, a Core i5 Processor, a 1TB HDD and your choice of Windows 7 or Windows 8. Personally I took Windows 8 and I’m liking it. People are really complaining too hard over Windows 8. Now, if you are one of the people who lose their everloving minds over Windows 8, you can certainly pick it up with the Windows 7 version. If you need more than the provided specs, you can always do a bit of upgrading. If you want something else altogether, you can pick from the other laptops available at the link above!

Shipping is FREE.

There is definitely something for everyone here. You’ve got racing in Grid 2, strategy in Total War: Rome II, survival horror in Resident Evil: Revelations and a bunch of other genres. If there are a bunch of these that you want, you don’t have to worry about which one you’re gonna get because they are fairly spread out. I don’t buy a ton of video games but I often wander into a store and have a hard time choosing between two or three games. I always get them all home and then play one way more than the others and feel bad about it. I thought I was weird but I’ve spoken to friends who have had the same experience.

With this sale you can pick up a bunch of games and have them spread out over weeks or months. That way you don’t have to worry about feeling bad that you spent all this money on a game and you are are letting it sit there collecting dust while you play anther one. For more guilt-free gaming, check out our GameFly Coupon Codes!

I’m pretty sure aliens, or GreenMen, as it were, brought us Telltale games because that is the only way to explain how awesome they are!

• Click here to check out all the awesome Telltale games @ GreenManGaming.com

I seriously love Telltale. They make some of the best games around, including what was one of the best games of last year, The Walking Dead (Was $24.99, Save $15, Now $9.99). Before we get into the actual games, I want to talk about the type of games.

Telltale games are one of the masters of the Point-and-Click Adventure games. The only people who I would put in the same league as Telltale as far as crafting amazing, mind-blowingly cool point-and-click adventure games are Pendulo Studio and Double Fine. This genre is the perfect blend of puzzle and story telling, in that the story is only moved forward when you solve a puzzle and the story is so intriguing, you just have to see what happens.

GreenMan has a whole lot of Telltale games’ world class point-and-click adventure games on sale for up to 75% off. Most gamers will already know about The Walking Dead game that I mentioned above, but here are some others you might not know about:

• Tales of Monkey Island - Was $34.99 – Save $26.25 – Now $8.74
• Sam & Max: Season One - Was $29.99 – Save $22.50 – Now $7.49
• Sam & Max: Season Two - Was $29.99 – Save $22.50 – Now $7.49
• Sam & Max: Season Three - Was $34.99 – Save $26.25 – Now $8.74
• Wallace and Gromits: Grand Adventures - Was $19.99 – Save $15 – Now $4.99
• Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People - Was $29.99 – Save $22.50 – Now $7.49

As you can see with the Sam & Max games, they release their games in seasons and episodes. So, originally the Walking Dead was five episodes released a few weeks apart to form an entire game, or season. If they release another Walking Dead game (which I think they are) then it’ll be the second season of the game.

Computer running a bit slow? Speed it up with an SSD from Tiger Direct Canada!

• Click to get your new SanDisk SSD @ TigerDirect.ca

I really, really need to get myself an SSD. No, that’s wrong, I don’t need one but the geek in me wants one so bad! Of course being a responsible adult, I guess I should pay my mortgage, buy groceries for my family and pay off my insurance company imposed bathroom renovation (seriously, I’m not bitter..) instead of making upgrades to my computer.

Regardless, there are a bunch of you out there who do have the extra money and aren’t paying for an unexpected full bathroom renovation. For those of you, this is a fantastic opportunity to get an SSD. SSD stands for Solid State Drive which, without becoming professor Shawn, means it’s really fast. SSDs, at one point, were so pricey that you would pay a huge amount of money for a drive with very little space. At that point you would pretty much install your operating system and a few oft-used programs on it and that would be it. Now, with a 240GB drive for $149.97, you can afford to replace your main hard drive with one of these and still have a ton of usable space. This drive was $249.97 but you save $100 via instant savings and a $30 rebate. Shipping on this drive is about $10 but varies depending on where you live.

If this isn’t the drive for you, there are two others available:

• SanDisk 64GB SSD – Was $69.97 – Save $10 – Now $59.97
• Samsung 120GB SSD – Was $126.99 – Save $27.02 – Now $99.97

Put all your vacation memories in a PhotoInPress Photo Album Courtesy of Via Rail Canada!

•  Click here to book your vacation @ ViaRail.ca

I absolutely love traveling by train. It makes me very sad that train travel isn’t as popular as it used to be in some parts of the country. If you’re like me and love train travel but haven’t been on one in a while or if you have never taken a trip on a train, then this summer is the time to do it! And if you book before 30th June 2013, you’ll get a code for a FREE photo album from PhotoInPress.ca.

The offer is good for trips on “The Canadian” which runs from Toronto westward. I’ve never been on a train through the western provinces but some of the scenery is supposed to be amazing. You can use this photo album for any pictures but some of the pictures you’ll get from the train will be spectacular. You could likely get enough awesome pictures just from your seat in the train to fill the photo album.

Every red blooded Canadian wants to Adventure in Eagle Creek but for that you’ll need the right luggage from Jet Setter Canada!

• Click here to buy Eagle Creek Adventure Luggage @ Jet-Setter.ca

I’ve owned the same set of luggage for years. I think I got the suitcase, or rather it was given to me when I moved out for college, eleven years ago. I think. Maybe it was longer. Anywho, my luggage consists of one medium-sized suitcase that I stuff everything in to. I have a garment bag somewhere for suits but yeah, generally everything goes in my one little suitcase and a backpack if I need more. My wife is a bit better equipped with a expandable medium-sized suitcase and a giant pink monster I could probably live in. It’s huge.

Now if I hadn’t married my wife, I’d be taking advantage of this sale and grabbing some Eagle Creek Adventure Luggage. There are seven pieces of luggage available at 25% off. They’re clearly marked on the page by the red price and are all, except one, over $60 so you get free expedited shipping. For the one item under $60, it’s $7 or $8 shipping, depending on which province you live in. If you’re in one of the territories it’s more. They have a fantastic shipping page if you wanna check.
