Nintendo hates money. They really ought to capitalize on this market and start selling new runs of their limited items in their eBay store at extortionary prices.

I bought the original Ragnarok Odyssey at launch for full price. One of my biggest gaming regrets, and I believe it was the last physical Vita games I have bought.
Might as well. It's basically at the point where I'm being ass raped by scalpers for a fucking video game that should be on Walmart shelves to buy.
It's instant. I usually stay with the rep in the chat until they confirm they've put it into effect.
Is there anything I can do with my copy of the script?

Oh snap, BB shipped my Xenoblade. :O
Wait a night, then contact support tomorrow if it's not put into effect. FOr all we know they could be working on it as we speak.

Yes, I've had deliveries after dinner. I think the latest I've had one roll up to my apartment is something like 7:30.
I literally can't afford to be that reckless. I don't have much in the way of expendable cash so it's important for me to plan properly. These days I'd rather wait for a game to get cheap unless it's something I absolutely need to have vs spending a bunch on a game up front that are just going to sit in my back log anyhow
well you would still have time, since you don't pay until it ships
They must be losing money with the 30% off by itself. Retailers usually make 15-20$ per copy. It's the kind of deal where they expect you to buy regular stuff from them because of the deals they offer.
hey toronto dudes, any of you guys gonna get in on this? for 10 bucks you basically get a coupone for various 5$ entrees throughout toronto. holy chuck burger for 5 bucks looks pretty nice along with some of these other ones.

Ah. I meant that since they're preorders anyways, and you don't get charged until it's shipped, you can order now, so you'll have the discount in case you decide you want it later, or cancel it closer to release if you decide you don't want it after all.
If I have time after work then sure. I'm mighty tempted.
You my friend are in luck:

Act fast before they change the price!

Subete no aware
This is why people are preordering the one up now. lol
That's still insane, I bought my TE 1s on 360 for 169.99
My TE2 for Ki on XBone for 219
but 300 plus for the same thing? Nah man that's ridiculous.
The Rock Band 4 pack is 350 bucks and it has several plastics controllers, this is stupid as fuck.
edit: Okay I jsut saw it listed for 204.... PRE-ORDERED!
The Chun Li one is showing up at 329.99
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0166QDR5G/
I got the TE 2 + for 204, hopefully it sticks.
Does it actually say Xenoblade now though? My Best Buy order said the same thing (it was previously Jan 1st) when I checked a couple hours ago but I just checked now and it shipped.
The expected delivery date for mine is Dec 11-18

It'll stick because you pre-ordered it before they bump it up to $349.
And our money doesn't go nearly as far now as it did when you sprung on your TE1 for the X360 at $169.
Thank goodness for capitalizing on price errors.
No I know, that the dollar is ass now, but I got mad sticker shock, I'm happy with 205 bucks.

The TE2+ has the touchpad. The Chun Li, and the last TE2s...do not. But yes MAJOR pricing error on Amazon's part. It's cheaper on .ca in Canadian currency then it is on .com in US currency.
No, mine still says Wii U X

For those of us who aren't stockpiling tournament edition joysticks, is the modability of the TE2+ really worth the extra $40 over the TES+ model? I've got both pre-ordered right now but I'm leaning heavily towards the $164 TES+ as it looks great and seems like it offers just as much feature-wise as the TE2+.

TE2 is only worth if you are planning to swap parts in it ever or expect to have to swap parts in a few minutes or need a cable that can be disconnected from the stick for whatever reason.
It's only going to take a few more minutes and a screwdriver to open up a different arcade stick.

Well uh, at least the date changed. It means the system at least recognizes it as Xenoblade.

Not having that cable hanging out is a nice feature. Does the cheaper one come with the touchpad?
At this point, I'm just going to buy it from bestbuy tomorrow and return the shipped copy when that comes in.

The cheaper one has all the same buttons and touchpad, its only the case that's different as I understand it. The internal wiring might be slightly different too, but I imagine its the same PCB.
Also most larger sized arcade sticks have a compartment where you store the cable, so you can just pack it away there and it wouldn't be hanging out anyway. The TE2 would just let you replace the cable without modifying the connections to the pcb.

Finally got a shipping confirmation/tracking for my Best Buy XCX. The second last game from my E3 2014 order... It's not arriving tomorrow, is it? =/
In this case, they're losing money by people not buying each of the three games separately.
True. Also the fact they'd prefer you buy the two other campaigns from the eShop rather than from retail. That's why I thought this SE was a good deal despite being $100. The bonuses are basically free.
The good news is that Canada Post is doing weekend deliveries until Christmas Eve.
Same with my order. I asked via email so I got some records. I ordered mine with project giant robot. It will suck if they reduced the price of project giant robot and it gets delayed until nx or if it's a bad game lol.
Here's what they said on the email:
I'm not exactly sure how they'll do this.
What of the artwork customization ease though?
Seems only the TE2+ has a removable glass top and that the TES+ doesn't, at least going by the Madcatz website.
Know that feel.
Though I'm not in a rush for XenoX, so I'll wait the weekend.
... Now if this were Zelda...
If it's anything like last year you're shit out of luck if you're not in Toronto or Vancouver.

My Wii U X order from FS shipped.

I guess I can wait a few days and see what my statement says. Maybe they'll do a refund, like they do when they pricematch?

Yeah, but how difficult it is to change the art really depends on the design of TES. It might not be that difficult really.
Urg to wake up hours early to get to Eb games before launch or not so I can secure a copy of Fire emblem LE since I won't be able to be online when it goes up :/
They are just about the last people I want to order from but since I'll be at work for most of the day I'm afraid of missing it when it goes up on Best buy and then being really screwed.
