what? why? I can take it down I think.

*edit* Ah.. I might not have setup a deletion link.
I just meant you are making people who can't order it for full price jealous by showing it at 50% off by gaming the system. I'm not saying I'm above that, though lol

I ordered 2 copies in different orders. Did Amazon ever decided to limit to 1 per customer post fact and cancel items?

I want to know this too. I ordered two but with two different payment methods and delivery addresses(one with gift wrap and a message). I hope they won't cancel anything.
 
Naaw. The RFD peeps are doing the same thing, just don't post about it since it hurts their chances of successfully doing it in the future!
Pretty smart to be honest.

I guess if any of us get a discount from a csr that goes beyond what you'd normally get, dont say you did (and certainly dont post images of it) and just be content with the knowledge you got it. Haha

I was in such a hurry to order I forgot to add games that qualified for the promo. Now it's extra difficult to get the discount.
 
Lol

Let me turn this back to shipping talk. Anyone has their Xenoblade X SE shipped yet? I'm actually suspecting Nintendo hasn't sent it to retailers yet.

I did that as well, so I thought I could just merge two orders but I went through two csr before one of them offered to just give me a discount on my lone FE order. As a bonus, I got an extra 30% off of 3 other games. So don't give up?

Cruel irony is that I had it shipped priority to a post office and there's going to be a snow storm tomorrow so I may not be able to get it.
 
Why is fire emblem so popular? At first I thought it was because you wanted Amazon discount, but there's legit demand everywhere for this?

Thanks bruh! I'll keep going. Two tries and two failures.

Wow, step away for a bit and miss the FE SE. Not surprised. :/

Whatever, at least I have missing out on the EB/BB pre-orders to look forward to.

Umm because it's good? Also if you manage to get 30% off, basically you will pay $70 for 3 games in 1 physical cart plus a pouch and an artbook.

It's actually a really nice SE, IMO. No crappy figurines, having all the games on one cartridge, and what could be a really nice artbook.

Xenoblade X SE didn't ship from Best Buy, just charged. We'll see what happens before I wake up in the morning. Amazon hasn't charged me and is still in "Being shipped today." Could arrive tomorrow afternoon or evening for all I know.

A pouch I already own :(

I wouldn't be surprised if it was back ordered given how many pre-orders they probably got in the last couple days from people who missed the 30% off pre-order during e3 and took advantage of the recent one.

I'm expecting it to be like wooly world all over again and take a week.

I pre-ordered mine 2 1/2 years ago. If my copy is back-ordered, then Best Buy's priority system needs some work.

Damn. I knew I shouldn't have taken that nap. Missed out on the Fates SE.
Love that it lasted only an hour. Nintendo remains completely inept at satisfying pent-up demand for their products.

It comes with both parts of the game along with the DLC epilogue.

To buy individually: $50 Game Card + $25 Digital Second Game + $25 DLC Epilogue = $100 and takes up who knows how much on your SD card

To buy special edition: $100 for all on the game card + comes with some extra trinkets

If you get 30% off the special edition becomes cheaper than getting them individually as you save 30% off everything instead of just the physical game you buy.

(I estimated the eShop prices for CAD).

Ah, thanks Firestorm. That does sound pretty cool.

So far I have two preorders for the FE SE. One from gamestop US and one from Amazon.ca. If I can score one from EB I'll cancel the US one. Don't trust Amazon one bit.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! Shit! I just HAD to miss it, didn't I? Fuck!

I got charged, I thought that means it hit the mail?

Also, it's listing me as getting charged the whole amount, does your order page have the discount applied to that component?

It's not on my MC statement yet so I can't actually confirm what was charged yet.

Well my Wii U X still hasn't been charged but its projected delivery date was changed from Jan 1 to Dec 8

so... that's something I guess

Same here. I just checked for the charge and there wasn't one. I went back and checked delivery date and it said as early as Dec 9. I guess I won't be playing it until after exams.

Buy it at store
Return it when it arrives in mail
Non-profit

(The only good way to make use of best buy)

Assuming it arrives within two weeks.

That's a non-issue now since my order was cancelled. Apparently they couldn't charge my card, even though I called in and updated it. Also the card is definitely fine since I just used it today and am nowhere near my limit.

I'll see if customer service can still complete the order for the preorder price, but I'm not hopeful.

Edit: okay guys, I just don't know how to deal with best buy customer service. They tell me it's cancelled because my card couldn't be charged. I just logged in and checked my order, and it shows my card as charged, and estimated to be here on the 11th. So am I actually gonna get it or not? Lol

I just got charged for "Wii U X" from FutureShop. Like literally seconds ago. So there's still hope fellow Wii-U-X-ers!

My date also got changed from Jan 1 to Dec 10.

Me too. I checked an hour ago and nothing. Checked just now and charged.
