I just pre-ordered Gravity Rush Remastered from Amazon.com. At least I'm getting a dynamic theme out of it, so that's something?

Still, incredibly frustrating I can't just order this somewhere in Canada.

I'm surprised Amazon allowed you guys to order the game from Amazon.com as overtime I tried to order something from Amazon.com to ship to Canada, they tell me they can't do it.

Dynamic theme is pretty cool btw.

It honestly depends on the game. Some items they won't ship to Canada but they do tend to ship most things. As time gets closer to release date they tend to relax restrictions.

To be honest, someone ordered it for me off my wishlist. So we will see how it turns out.
 
Haha, they certainly know that the game is in demand. Here's part of a chat transcript with an Amazon CS:
Amazon Chat said:
...
Me: Yes. I know that the item is exclusive to Amazon in the US, but I don't know if Amazon Canada will be selling it as well.

Omair: Sure, it will be but it may take a little bit more time to get this item in stock as i see there are many people who have requested for this game in the database.

Haha, I just remembered another pre-order I had on amazon.com so you actually saved me another $8 USD. I had the Zero Escape 3 with the Bonus Watch pre-ordered and now it's down to $31.99 thanks to a quick chat with Amazon's customer rep. :)

Thanks again! Amazon.ca/Sony's incompetence saved me money no matter how we look at it now.

Don't think it's just Amazon.ca not selling the disc version of the game in Canada. I Can't fin it on ebgames.ca or bestbuy.ca either.

This is Sony's screwup. Anyways, doesn't bother me as I've gone digital and don't have this problem.

However, i do feel for those who want the disc version. No excuses for Sony not sending out disc version of the game for those who want it.
 
If I preorder another game (Valkyria, for example) and then cancel Prime, will the order revert back to the pre-Prime price?

Yeah, they can be selective over the game they will/won't ship here. I do have one pre-ordered (Zero Escape 3 with watch) that I pre-ordered a long time ago, that later switched to US-only. It hasn't been cancelled yet, I wonder what will happen when it comes to ship...

I'm glad to hear the Gravity Rush Remastered theme is nice. Although, with that art, how could it not be?

It is nice. However, the music can get kinda old after a while.
 
in case anyone was considering ordering from Target I would highly advise not doing so. At the start of January I ordered a $1 item aswell as a disney infinity figure that was exclusive to them and never came to Canada, after 2 and a half weeks they shipped the $1 Medal and charged me $8USD shipping for it, it was sent in a bubble mailer ... , then a week later cancelled my disney infinity figure citing it was out of stock, in the time since I ordered until now it has not gone out of stock on their website. So I paid a ridiclous amount of money for a $1 item I only ordered cause of the figure that they cancelled for no reason. Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up!

what am i doing

i don't even want a 3ds

How often is that thing becoming available?

I kinda want one but uh kinda have too many 3DSes already but might cave in a moment of weakness.
 
Have 3 3ds too, not sure if I want another, especially when it doesnt even come with the game. These special edition 3ds ever become valueble?

It was in stock literally all week unlike the Pokemon bundle that sold out damn near instantly. There's obviously much more stock of these than the later.
 
Cancelled my FEFates n3DS XL order... I really don't need another 3DS, especially since who knows when the 3DS successor may be announced (potentially connected to NX, 'cause who knows what that thing ultimately will be). My thoughts being it's now year five of the 3DS, and the DS before it went for six years, so... May as well enjoy my current n3DS XL.

... Now I'm still contemplating some of my other orders, lol

Most of the Limited Edition consoles aren't worth that much anyways. Except the Pikachu one. The OG Pokemon n3ds might join that list though
 
Has anyone been charged by best buy for digimon yet? I had to change the card on the order and i'm starting to worry that the system might be screwing up like usual when you change payment options.

It is Amazon exclusive in the United States, which is why you can't find it on BestBuy or EBgames website :p
 
XCOM2 PC retail box keeps getting "release date unknown" emails from amazon.ca

Guess we're not getting a physical release for that one either.
 
the FE: Fates N3DSXL doesn't seem like it'll be hard to get at launch, considering how many times it's gone up now

the Pokemon N3DS on the other hand...

Nah. I got this email 5 days ago:

Yay, checked my Best Buy order for the Fates Special Edition and it looks like my order got cancelled.

What!?

I just cancelled my order at EB because I decided to stick with Best Buy.

:/

Hope my order is safe.

Did they not email you?

Fake edit: It's fine for now.
