for games I bought Resident Evil Revelations 2 $42 for ps4, Killer Is Dead ps3 $15.
Bought Dragon Ball Z Kai season 2 bluray on amazon yesterday and got it today, $55 altogether.
Bought a Kobo Touch E ink Ereader for $30+$6 for 2 years warranty. currently reading Silver Cross and Draculea volume 4
Bought a Vertical stand for my PS4.
I also bought a used Camo PS4 controller from ebgames for $50(i traded in some games) but i returned it because u could see marks on it from someone opening the controller.
So I get to the store and explain why i was returning it, the manager just takes a new Camo controller and opens it and gives it to me.
So i got a $70(here in Canada it costs that much) camo controller for $50(it had no tax). He basically saved me $30(70+13% tax= $79.10 - $50= $29.10) on the new controller.
Also it turns out that the previous owner replaced the back part of the controller with a white one and we both didn't notice(Me and the manager)

My significant other bought me a DNA genotyping test from 23andme for my birthday. My ancestry reports just started coming in over the weekend:

I'm not too happy with the Promethease health reports saying repeatedly that I'm going to go bald and/or get prostate cancer:

Honestly did you like 23&me? I've honestly considered using it for my self to find info (because I'm actually adopted) and want to know what you think.

That's so cool! Mostly interested in those good/bad news things, but I am probably better off not knowing that stuff lol :P
It's $200 cad to get done in canada though :( I'd rather buy clothes or sth with that lol. Maybe sometime in the future I will get this done :D

Being a guy who has multiples origins in his blood, and having lost my entire family, I'm curious what results I could get to this :)

Recently bought me a PS4 (with an extra controller, and GTA V). I love it to death, but damn it do I hate the little amount of free time I get to play it with work and university.
I wanna blow up cars in peace, pls life lower the difficulty.

So far, it has been worth the money. Promethease repeatedly flagged my predispositions to prostate cancer, which my grandpa actually died of. It also made recommendations about how people with my particular genotypes for prostate cancer successfully alleviated the risk with daily aspirin use. After I first read years ago about regular aspirin use decreasing one's overall risk of cancers, I've always considered doing it. This might push me over the edge and potentially save my life. I can also start saving up for some nice hats.

I won't have access to their 23andme's DNA Relatives feature for another few days, but it will be interesting to be able to compare my DNA with the database and see actual percent matches with those who will presumably be distant cousins. It'll use those matches to give likely surnames and countries of origin. While I was waiting for my DNA results to come in, I spent a lot of time browsing the forums, and there were numerous stories about adoptees finding distant or close biological family.

Relatively speaking, my DNA health is pretty good. I didn't have any of the really bad markers all but guaranteeing a horrible illness, and I didn't appear to have predispositions for anything serious that I couldn't change with lifestyle choices. In fact, before the problems 23andme had with the FDA that stopped them from providing the health reports on their website, it would lock reports on unavoidable serious illnesses, and one would have to manually unlock those specific reports. Personally, I wanted to know, and I'm glad I checked.

Although I'm disgustingly European, I was surprised and relieved to see Japanese and Oceanian backgrounds. I was really hoping my report wouldn't be boring (e.g. 100% European).

Not to say it's true of you and your family, but many people on the 23andme forums complain that they know they're Native American, but the DNA doesn't show it, and it's really funny to see just how many families have that lie. The forums would make you think half of white Americans are descended from Native American princesses. It's also true that a lot of families have African ancestry instead of Native American ancestry because mixed race individuals could often times pass as Native American, and that lie continued down the family tree.

Edit: I should mention that my family also mistakenly told me that we were part Native American, but I always took it with a grain of salt. Now I get to tell them they're wrong.

Well, If someday I have 200cad to waste, I'll be fixed :P
Thanks for sharing you experiences :)
