I don't know what this third Fire Emblem SKU on Best Buy is, but I'm pre ordering it just in case that's what ends up being the special edition.
 
I'm a wii-u owner with a 37' Toshiba or 42'. I have around 500-600$ available for the next week to spend.

Should I go with a New3DS XL and some games?
PS4 at SDM
or a 55'Haier TV if it go down to 449$ at Costco.

or just save my money and wait next summer for a TV/PS4?

I have lot of wii-u games to finish..so im in no hurry...

I'm also a 8-10hours a week gamer...
Just sold my xbone becuz didint wanna pay 50$ for live renewal as no games interested me over there :(

Anyone in Canada having troubles buying 360 games?

I want to get Beyond Good and Evil HD, because it's playable on Xbone (I don't have a 360).

But when I try to buy it, it says I don't have a payment option. When I clicked on "add a new payment option" it redirects to the US page and I can't add it.

However, I DO have a credit card on my Microsoft account.

If I try to buy an Xbone game, the page grabs my credit card that I have saved and works fine. But for 360 games it doesn't.

HELP

I almost reserved a copy of P&DZ but at the last minute just decided to try the demo I had downloaded on 3DS first.

I actually liked the demo but by the time I was finished I was just like "yep, I don't need to play any more of this" :lol

now I think I understand why publishers are wary of releasing demos!

I've never owned a 360 and I still got to buy it. was no hassle on my end. logged in to see the Gold price, clicked the buy button, my credit card popped up, and bought
 
With the recent Xbox Live deal at $40 for a year, has there been anything similar for a PS Plus 12 month subscription recently? Or does it generally come out in a few weeks?

Just got a PS4, but the Battlefront LE didn't come with even a 3 month subscription, so I fear that the single player missions may not last long for me.

How long is that chord?

Oh wait, I guess I'd just plug it into the controller right?

Chord is long as fuck...i used some elastic to keep-it shorter on mine. http://www.hardwareheaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/kingston-hyperx-cloud-headset-bundle.jpg

Everything is so solid. The sound is amazing .

BEST bang for buck honestly.

I got the page making me re-enter my credit card when the page displayed the US price for Forza Horizon 2 ($25). When I just purchased it through the console, it displayed the CDN price ($30) and it pulled up my stored credit card.

Problem is, you can't find 360 games on the Xbone console store. MS should at least add that for the b/c titles

Xone and ps4 are pretty similar, aside from the exclusives, which IMO are better on the one. So not sure why you want a ps4?

So I vote TV purchase.

Thanks.

Not really into Gears/Halo etc...

Loved Uncharted 2 and enjoyed God of War...

might just wait and go for the TV.

Thanks
 
I wonder if Splatoon or Yoshi's Wooly world will get decent sales on the Wii U eshop Black Friday sale. 20% or more would be ok for me.

Wish I had seen this post before re-orodering them. Now it's too late to cancel the second shipment. Guess I'll be making a return lol.

Oh well hahaha. If it's not hard to get to a Best Buy then that's probably the less stressful way anyways

Also my typo taunts me...

Clear your backlog first. You're sitting on some amazing games.

What games on what console are you more interested in play? Is the current line up and upcoming line up justifiable to spend money on a new consoles? Do you really need to get a bigger television now if your current one works just fine? These are the things you should contemplate. I'd just save my money though.

Didn't Best Buy say Fire Emblem SE would be up today? I've been refreshing all day and it's driving me crazy.
Click to expand...

Nope. At this rate it'll go up at like 12AM PST, and by that point I'll probably have just gotten drunk and passed out and I'll miss it. Who do I blame here? Best Buy? Or Nintendo? I feel like it's mostly Nintendo
 
Who has more reliable release day shipping, Amazon without Prime or Best Buy?

Since there's no discount either way I'm debating between Amazon and Best Buy for Twilight Princess.

I've had terrible shipping with Amazon.ca, but depends on what part of the country you are in. My Fallout 4 just arrived yesterday if that gives you any idea of how bad. They upgraded my shipping for free because of how bad delivery dates have been.

Edit: Never had any issues with BestBuy, but I always pickup in store.

Sometimes it really depends on where you live. I never had any delay on Amazon using their free shipping. It has been on release date. Same thing on BestBuy.
