Yeah even when the exchange rate wasn't awful I still felt $50 was way too much. A clip on mic from the dollar store does the job well enough unless you're planning on making lets play videos or something.
 
I don't know if anyone already postulated this, but I suspect we won't be getting a physical release of Gravity Rush through Amazon.ca by way of that whole bilingual packaging requirement. Of course, if it turns out the Amazon.com package is trilingual(English, French, and Spanish), then it's pitchfork time...

Edit: Took a look at a photo someone posted of the packaging in the official Gravity Rush topic and it seems to be English only.

There are third party sellers on Amazon.ca selling Gravity Rush physical...but I'm not dropping $85 on a game.
 
Yay, checked my Best Buy order for the Fates Special Edition and it looks like my order got cancelled.

Oh my God, this nearly gave me a heart attack. Checked my order and it's still there, thankfully. Hopefully you can get yours sorted out. Really not cool of them to cancel with no notice.

The NA pre-order links for Amazon, EBGames.CA, and Video Games Plus are now live for Valkyria Chronicles Remastered! http://valkyria.sega.com/

Edit: https://www.ebgames.ca/PS4/Games/722612/valkyria-chronicles-remastered, https://www.videogamesplus.ca/valky...d-case-edition-ps4-free-shipping-p-23716.html

Can't find the Amazon link.
 
So congratz to gravity rush remastered I guess. Not buying until it becomes $15 or cheaper digitally now. Not gonna spend $55 to import it via amazon.com just so I can have a physical copy. I was willing to pay up to $45 total.

Knacklover offers a solution for you:

I did just that and it worked like a charm. My copy should be shipping tonight.

Truth be told though, I kind of expect this will be a free PS+ game before GR2 launches.

I'm confused about the part "or ask a nice CSR." I saw knacklover's post before and immediately went to try out what he suggested only to find that I can't sign up for a prime trial and it's asking me to buy a full year subscription. So I gave up on the idea of doing it this way.

How would talking to a CSR change things?

"Hello I would like to try the 20% off pre order from being a Prime Member, however I cannot sign up for a trial period, would you be able to help me with this? Items is: Gravity Rush Remastered, order #_"

Something along those lines might be successful.
 
There were 30 day trials advertised all over Amazon.com when I was there. A simple googling for a 30 day trial should also work I imagine. You need to make sure you cancel it and/or remove your credit card though or it will automatically renew for $99/year.

They advertise it, but if you've had a trial in the past and click on it, it'll directly ask you to pay 99.99 for the sub. Anyways, I seem to have gotten a free trial by making a brand new account.
 
Ugh, I just checked and the date on my order got changed to the 3rd as well.

i'm actually thinking of cancelling mine too...i'm not really home to play console games most of the time anymore, and the Vita version is only digital. i kinda want a physical copy if i do get it but i don't want to pay PS4 prices for a Vita import =/
 
So, its February and I remembered I have a spare Fire Emblem Fates SE on preorder, along with one of each version at half price. I've been trying to transfer my discounts with no luck, and part of me find it hard to cancel the extra FE SE. Not sure if I want to get through the work of trying to resell them for a profit either. Decisions, decisions...

If you live in the same city as someone in this thread who wants it I'm sure they'd be willing to meet up with you near your workplace or school or whatever to pick it up.

EB Games has no chill, rubbing it in that the game announced last week is for sale and Gravity Rush isn't

Gravity Rush Remastered physical is Amazon exclusive.
... Unfortunately many Amazon exclusive media seem to fail to make it outside the US...

I stopped at one earlier this afternoon but didn't see any of this. I guess YMMV? Which location was this?
