I ordered it but I'm assuming the price will drop at some point because I refuse to believe $100 is the new $80. Wut.

if the price doesn't change i'll be canceling for sure
 
I'm ordering it now and if it's still $100 then I'll be cancelling it for sure. We got like 4 months to pray and hope that the situation will get better.
 
GameStop.com order = $59.99 + $14.99 shipping = $74.98 US (~$100 CAD)
Amazon.ca order = $99.99 + $13 tax in Ontario = $112.99 CAD

:lol

With Twilight Princess HD, I'm starting to feel a little bit better for preodering the Fates special edition on Gamestop

What shipping courier do they use? If it is the shit trio, it's going to be ugly

on Fire Emblem Fates, International (Zone 1) is listed, whatever that means. I think they use UPS.
 
I look forward to all the people regretting putting in an order at $100 when Amazon.ca drops it to a more realistic price or better yet, a Xenoblade-like price error. :lol
 
It's times like this where I wish Nintendo of Canada had a vocal twitter where we can ask without having to wait for emails.
 
Actually, I sorta hope they do put FE: SE at a high price initially. It'll give us time to pre-order while others might balk at the purchase and then when the price drops, we'll be set!

SET I TELLS YA
 
Well god damn it. How has the eshop been in terms of pricing? It would be nice to have both the FE games on one cart but with the way things are going it's not worth that much.
 
Wow $100...

That price better be placeholder. If games jump to $90 or $100 I'll never be buying video games unless they're GOTY material. I'm still having problems justifying $70 for games. :'(
 
Doesn't GS use UPS, you'll be ding with duties, taxes, and other feessss.
They do but I wasn't charged anything extra when I got my Wind Waker LE from them 2 years ago or my Shulk Amiibo (I was weak) back in February.
 
They told me it was a placeholder so I wouldn't worry.

Who's they, CS? I wouldn't trust them seeing as how gafers have been lied to in the past week.


Also if this does indeed sell out what happens if the price goes down does price protection still work since the product page no longer shows a price?
 
Relax, people. The prices on most E3 preorders were skewed high just to 'be safe' on their part, and almost all were eventually lowered. This is probably the case here.

Put your pre-order in and if the price stays, cancel later. Amazon is super easy to cancel from.

I was the one lied to but I still believe them since Amazon always changes prices on games before release, it's never not happened to me.

You're one of the lucky ones lol 99% of UPS package that I got involves duties, taxes, and other misc fees like handling or some sort of processing fees or other fees.
 
Seriously, $113 for a HD port and amiibo? No thanks. Ordering just in case this is a placeholder price. Definitely canceling if it's the real price.
 
It should be around $112 if they use the same as the zelda tp.

Based on those values nintendo is saying 1CAD = 0.6 USD so it would be around 130 if they go with that.
Honestly I really doubt this will be the final price. Our dollar is weak at the moment but not like that.

Edit: I'm dumb, its the other way around -,-
 
See, if you just think of it as getting Zelda TP HD + Xenoblade for $128.58 (after E3 deal and taxes in Ontario) then it's not so bad!

You got a point there LOL

So with the price error you get $100 for zelda and $14 (with E3 discount) for xenoblade, So that's $114 plus tax

Now if there was no error on xenoblade and Zelda TP goes for $80 and Xenoblade goes for $50 (with the E3 discount) you pay $130

You still save $15 (plus tax). LOL

You're right, it's around $133
 
Pre ordered twilight princess with the hope the price will drop. Gonna be kicking myself if I didn't pre order and the price drops once it's sold out.

If it doesn't drop I'll cancle it closer to release.
