They shipped my two, so it seems they're honoring some of them, and not others, which is strange.

Me, too.

Best Buy cancelled my $25 PS4 controller order
just got the email
do these expire? it didnt say in my email
I got a shipping notice the other day, says mine is in transit.
Hell, the $25 e-certificate is an even better deal. Most of the PS4 controllers are on sale at $50 anyways. Apply the $25 certificate and its the same price but you get your choice of color now... makes no fucking sense why they would even bother to cancel.

Black Friday is on the 27th.
You're right. I didn't initially notice that it was $25, since it's always been $5 the few times I've gotten it. This is actually good.
I thought the $50 sale would be over by now. Pretty dumb oversight if not.
was charged by Future Shop for Star Wars
The end of an era, my last FS pre-order and likely last ever $39.99 new release
Good night sweet prince...
Battlefront is my second last, #FE will be my last when it comes out
I have a feeling things will get worse before they get better. Slowly but surely.
Its just your imagination ;__;

My Amazon copy is on the way, delivers tomorrow (priority)
You know what you have to do. Buy a third.
Also, wish they dun goof'd and sent me a $25 certificate.
What's EB's trade in for a PS4 controller?
Well I'd say some like myself ordered 3 as per the limit (and well, because that's how many extra controllers connect to a PS4). I'm not too bummed as I was mostly getting it for some friends. A $25 e-certificate while it's still on sale is pretty amazing tbh. Overall a pretty good month for controller pricing errors!

Free controller screw up deals are compliments of Justin Trudeau. Save our dollar Trudeau, SAVE IT.
Yeah, $100 for 4 PS4 controllers is a hell of a deal.
I would've bought another had I not splurged on Import amiibos.
Retail costs more to produce?
That's technically what Sony promised us with digital games, that they would be a bit cheaper because of ditching production costs. They've never come through though, so take this and be grateful.
I bought Halo 5 to play the campaign on a borrowed XB1 and am gonna Craigslist it now for like $55 if you're in Vancouver and want it for cheaper.
I've still got FFXV, KH3, Mirrors Edge 2 coming from them!was charged by Future Shop for Star Wars

Does anyone here have an EB Games Platinum Edge card? Do you ever do the satisfaction guarantee thing?
How do you like it/how well does it work?

I have one. Are you talking about the perk where you can return/exchange a game within 7 days? I've done it a few times and love it. Helpful for games you beat quit and don't plan on returning to - but you can only do it once per purchase.
So you're going to have open orders until 2022 then.
I run out the clock with SMT x FE (speaking of long-delayed games) and Xenoblade X. I fully intend to give the latter as a Christmas gift for reasons, so if they pull the two week delay stuff I'm going to be livid.
I'm in Ontario or I'd easily jump on it. I got so caught up in store deals I forgot to watch kijiji for it on sale. I don't use Craigslist maybe I should
more than $25 lol

Yeah
Do they let you return the games for credit towards a pre-order? Also, how do they track that if so?
Yeah, in desperation for a new next gen game to play, I bought Thief. Traded it towards an Arkham Knight preorder.
No idea how they track, but it seems like their Edge program keeps pretty detailed tabs on your purchasing history.

They can't screw up their channel partners. Still, it's not uncommon to have parity with the US dollar on the PS Store. At least it was, haven't bought anything lately.
Damn. It's like I lost out on money.

I guess this is a Canada-Deal.
For PC gamers, if you're looking at picking up Star Wars Battlefront the game is $39.99 USD if you use a VPN and purchase off of Mexican Origin. I think it comes to $50-55 CAD after conversion.

I've asked, and been told that they sometimes put a note beside the pre-order. However, other reps have told me that they can't track it if you do so towards a pre-order and that they don't really care either way so long as you're not doing it every week or so.
This is a good deal and I've done this on Origins before with DAI. Simply use a google chrome add on VPN and set it to mexico and it will work.
Not sure if serious..
Yep. Decent value all around. 10% trade bump, 10% used discount, and the 7-day satisfaction guarantee. Used it with Uncharted to save me from an expensive mistake - I liked it but not for $75. Impulse bought and was happy to recoup the money toward something else.
I personally dig the digital copy of Game Informer, too.
Basically. I think I picked those three as my vapourware package.
Craigslist is just what we use in Vancouver. Definitely stick to Kijiji in Ontario as Craigslist is dead there (like Kijiji is dead here).
Offer stands if anyone in Vancouver wants it.
I was checking the prices earlier but the vpn didn't work on the ultimate edition. Anyone else get that problem?

Is there usually a bit of a wait between when pre-orders open in the US and Canada? I don't normally pre-order stuff outside of E3 deals.

If I recall right, Majora's Mask' Skull Kid pre-order was up almost at the same time as the American one
Not sure about the exact time gap though
Shipping question: Has anyone ever got a delivery notice from Canada Post to a post office not close to where you live? I got one today that's a 20 minute drive away, but fortunately it's on a route home from work. Usually Canada post is good with me and just leaves shit in my mailbox.
Not even sure what this is because there's no tracking info for this item and I'm not expecting anything for another week.
