59 cents here at Shell, its right across the steet its funny how often it goes up with 10 cents to just drop back the next day.
 
Here are some codes for Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda from the eShop deal mentioned last night... quote to reveal.

Thanks for all the deals over the years CanadaGAF! Let me know when they are all gone and I'll edit my post.

EDIT: Looks like they're all gone, enjoy :)

Hey Canada-GAF, any chance we have a preferred fighting stick that gives you performance and ... *gulp* ...value? I'd rather not shell out several hundred dollars for one, but I don't know which ones are good, and where to get them.

I ordered the hori mini because I'm poor and have no space. I'm not hardcore anyways. Too bad it's on backorder. There's a chance amazon won't get the stock.
 
Hey so if anyone is interested Naruto Shippuden Ninja Storm 4 Deluxe edition is the same price as the regular edition on PSN currently.. So free season pass if you were looking for this game

I think they're all redeemed now. I can't seem to get anything on my Wii U.

No idea, but I'd honestly suggest just keep trying with CS reps until you get someone who will.

I was just lucky my first time, might have helped that I was planning on cancelling both orders without buying anything else otherwise.

I contacted another agent just now and they were able to cancel one of my orders and apply the discount. SF5 for $44 taxes in :D
 
Anyone get any ship dates yet for their Mad Catz fight sticks from Amazon? With all the rumblings going on about the company, now I'm even starting to wonder.
 
should I bother trying to get my FE fates SE to have the 30% off discount applied? I ordered it and FF7 and neither have the discount applied from the black friday promo

That's a good question honestly.
On one hand savings possibility.
On the other hand, I don't think I would want a CSR messing with my Fates SE order this close to release...

The two agents I spoke to were both reluctant to apply the 30% off on my item switch to begin with, even though I ordered with the 30% off promotion. The first one said she couldn't, the second guy said they're not allowed to but he'll make an exception since I purchase quite a bit from Amazon. You can try your luck I guess.

Hopefully this is still just an estimate...

"item will be shipped by Thursday, March 24, 2016"

Amazon...on my fight stick shipping date.

I think that it's obvious that we won't get them for launch.

AFAIK, UK folks are getting them already(from mad catz directly) and amazon.COM is giving estimates for march-april.

Also: Have they ever fixed the price before solding out?

The price was fixed before selling out but it was quite a few days afterwards. If not a week.

Spoke to the CS rep and they said they have received no stock yet. So nobody has received their's from amazon.

That being said...when life gives you lemons...make sure you purchase them from amazon...

So now that SFV support is confirmed, I'm really not sure if I want to keep my stick order. I guess there are still anime fighting games that will never support the Skull Girls driver.
 
Semi-regular Nunavut update:

Finally managed to get a Wii U from eBay (32gb Nintendoland bundle is 599.99 at the store here) that came with most of the games I wanted to play and a Pro controller. However, I mostly got it to play with my girlfriend so I wanted to get a Wiimote + Nunchuk. Also, I never owned a Wii and barely touched one so I've always been curious about Super Mario Galaxy.

My shipping cost was $56.99 for those 3 things from Best Buy.

Company going under restructuring plus SFV supporting last gen sticks = bad times for Mad Catz.

Yikes! I didn't even clue into that until just now. Whole lotta cancelled orders? I'm not sure if it would matter really. By now retailers have placed their orders. If customers cancel, it'll be the retailers stuck with the stock. The sale to the retailers would have already been made.

Of course...Mad Catz also sells stick so there's that.

I'd say go digital on Galaxy but that's probably a no go for you.

so does anyone here have a copy of the chat of them replacing one of the 30% preorders with another game? i need it for reference
Click to expand...

Initial Question: Hello Amazon support, I would like to cancel an item which has a promotional discount and I was wondering if you could help me move this promotional discount to another item?

man, you just gotta buy

Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Trauma Team

and if you somehow haven't played RE4 before, get the Wii version too
 
Wow, the Amazon CSR I just had was great. I had my two copies of Naruto, and only one arrived today, so I was expecting to get another $5 credit. They said they would add an additional month of Prime instead. I don't think they actually added a month though, but I didn't need it. When I also asked them to transfer the 30% discount from Fire Emblem Fates Conquest to Pokken, they said they couldn't do that but to make up for the delay, would make a one time exception and add a 30% discount to Pokken. So I guess instead of a month of Prime that I wouldn't even use, I get to save about $25 on Pokken.

How?! It's almost twice the cost in Quebec, I actually said out loud "Only 95.4 today, not bad!"

Next time you are at the gaz thing (it's late and I don't remember the name lol) look at the all the taxes we have to pay in addition to the price of the gaz. It's ridiculous.

I've decided to keep mine, I wanted a ps4 arcade stick and getting it for such a discount is worth it to me.
 
Grand Kingdom pre-order is up on Amazon and it's... $84.99 D:. Between this and Nights of Azure I don't know how I'm supposed to get my mid-tier Japanese gaming on.
