Why don't you just cancel that previous order and just make a new order with the Assassins Creed Syndicate? They are, in the end, "different" promo bundle and might even have different SKUs.

I can't, it's out of stock now. The guy on the customer service told me to do that, but seeing as it's out of stock, I couldn't.

Apparently it's been escalated to another department and I'll have an answer within 2 days.

Did they ever make one of these for the slim?
Click to expand...

Yes, but it was never released in NA. It's pretty crappy in comparison to the original (it's small, flimsy and doesn't work all that great). The original is not compatible with the slim, for obvious reason (usb port vs Sony proprietary).
 
Excited about the Amazon 30% off.
The deal lasts until 11:59 PM tonight, right? Because I can't do it until tonight.
 
got Amazon to give me 30% off the TP Bundle , pretty painless. dont give up hope if you get a bad rep

Me: Would it be possible to please add a second game to my order# ----------------- so I could take advantage of the current preorder 2 games and get 30% off promotion?
Amazon: Hello, my name is Vishal. I'll be happy to help you.
Me: thanks Vishal
Amazon: Can you please help me with link of the the second game?
Me: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00LCHZ...(See full link)
Amazon: Thanks for waiting,Devon.
I've added the item into your order.
The offer is also applied to the order.
Please check from your side.
Me: looks good! thanks so much\
Amazon: You're welcome.
Is there anything else?
Me: that's everything , thanks again
 
Annoying that Amazon has KH3 for cheaper, but free shipping will take a fair amount longer than what Best Buy will deliver if I buy with them. $12 difference is all, tbh, buuuut that's basically a lunch. >>

My choice preorders:

PS4
Kingdom Hearts 3
Nier Automata
Street Fighter V
The Last Guardian
Uncharted 4

XB1
Gears of War 4
ReCore
Resident Evil: Origins Collection

Good enough for the year. SFV alone will take up 90% of my time for at least the first half of the year. Gotta grind for that in game currency since I'll be too broke to buy DLC, anyway. Debated but ultimately decided against
Mass Effect: Andromeda, Mirrors Edge: Catalyst, Scalebound, and Ratchet & Clank
- not games I care for enough that I'll buy them Day 1, anyway.
 
FINALLY GOT THE 30% OFF TP:HD. JEEZ
internally, i feel like they added that onto the item description because i was basically yelling at them yesterday in the live chat. sorry amazon rep :(

All of the prices I have listed are before the 30% off promo get applies. I have saved around 600$ with Amazon pre-order deals. :D
 
Man, today is gonna be a busy day for me listwise.

Gotta compile a list of all the games I have preordered and at what discount, so I can figure out which orders to cancel and which games to reorder.

Also, want to go through the rock band dlc library and choose the songs I want so I can get them at a 10% discount.
 
I still can't get over this

Some of you people really need to cut Amazon some slack!. Also you can try using these to price match.

Does this connect to a micro USB on the other end? Might be good to have in case my proprietary cable (thanks Sony) kicks the bucket.
Click to expand...

No, it doesn't. The port on the back of the cradle is the same as the one on the Vita, so you need your proprietary cable for this to even work.
 
I called best buy to make the change to my xenoblade chronicles X SE pre-order in order to get that 30% off. the CS rep was very helpful and said someone else asked the same thing. she was able to do the change with no issues (well she had to apply an additional 15% off to the existing discount I had previously) so now the game before tax is now 90ish dollars, which is a much more bearable price. Odd thing though is that the new price won't be reflected on the website but will only be seen at the time when they charge my credit card.

I haven't really had time to keep track of everything going on for Cyber Monday so can you care to let me know if that was a price glitch? I know there's a 30% off pre-order deal but how'd you get the regular price so low to begin with?
 
Hmmm... she took $34 off the price of TP so it's $66.10

thing is that wasn't reduced as a discount, but price was just changed for me. sooo if the MSRP drops to $80 or whatever, I won't get 30% off that. Oh well, no big deal.
 
Jinto said:
I wish I got Vishal. I ended up cancelling my Amazon TP order last night out of frustration. :(

Rookie move. Never cancel until near shipping date if decide against it then. There's always a chance for a price reduction down the line with Amazon.

Yeah, same here. Not going to complain about it though. Since the preorders are already full so they really didn't have to even cut the price at all for us.

Ya, I know. I was also curious to see if it would show up as available the moment I cancelled. It didn't. Totally regretted doing it afterward.

I wonder why Best Buy has so many copies available for pre-order compared to Amazon. Now I'm worried that BB won't have enough to fulfill all the orders. lol

The site can be a bit late to update. Wait for the emails. On that note, they sent me a tracking number like 3 days in advance of it showing up in the FedEx system.

Was ultra fast.

Hm, haven't received anything yet, fingers crossed it goes out today I've been KICKING myself for missing the Amazon price error, and then not getting one sooner. Thanks for the feedback!

I forgot to order Zelda U, and went to chat to see about them adding it to my current order. Which, apparently they couldn't do. What she could do was make a seperate order for me with Zelda U, and manually adjust the price. Then for some reason the 30% promo also got applied.


Canon said:
How? I have it for 70 since it's 30% off
Click to expand...

I had them adjust my price to 30% off the day the pre order went up, by switching it with a different pre order from last E3. Then I tried today to have them add a game to that order and have the promo apply to it, which, surprisingly they were willing to do for me.
 
Some people got TP HD adjusted when it was first available for pre-order (added to existing E3 order or something). They got a further 30% adjustment with this promo, essentially double-dipping.
