I'm tempted to pick up Borderlands 2 vita for $3.99 in the flash sale. Just need to determine if i have a big enough memory card.

Also Diablo 3 PS4 is $25.99 and it seems like people are always looking for a sale for it.

Flash sale. So assuming PSN.

The Order 1886 is $9.97 at Best Buy.

Microsoft Store is selling US Steam cards in Canadian prices. So $20 CAD gets you about $27 CAD worth of Steam credit.

BL2 Vita sucks but sucks less than the Spiderman 1 port lol.
 
Has anyone ever dealt with Humble Bumble support? I over payed accidentally when I meant to spend only 1$, and it's been 7 days and I've yet to get in touch with a real person that's not an automated 'we've received your request' message.

It's such a terrible port, but 4 bucks is nothing really

You're basically paying 4 bucks to see if it runs because I can guarantee you probably won't play for more than an hour on that port.

Spend the 4 bucks on food or another game IMO
or food :D
 
At this point it's safe to say that the Fire Emblem XL isn't really that limited. It's been readily available from one outlet or another since announce.
 
Has anyone who preordered SF4 collectors edition from Amazon.ca had theirs shipped yet? Might have to cancel since no point waiting for two day shipping departing on Tuesday.

Can't say I'd agree with that. Getting Borderlands 2 running on the Vita was an amazing feat. I played the game a lot on Vita. The game is entirely playable and fun, it's the full experience, and especially if you have the game on another PS device, cross-save is an amazing feature to have.

The biggest problem is the framerate. If you can't stand sub-30 fps, them don't bother, otherwise, it's a great way to play the game on the go, especially for $4.

You meant SFV right?

I'm guessing you chose free shipping. In which case they've purposely delayed the delivery (happened to me. even got a email regarding the delay). Contact them and let them know that other retailers are already shipping out the game. They'll expedite your shipping.
 
Went to the Fire Emblem launch event. They were only letting in a few people at a time and not many people were leaving, so ended up waiting for an hour and a half outside. The guy in front of me got the last Conquest shirt, inside there were very few systems, although the live demonstration was cool. Kind of a mistake to go though with the crowd management, once I saw the lines inside I decided not to bother playing the game. Probably wouldn't have gone in hindsight considering the wait in the cold, but nice of Nintendo to try to put something on
 
Speaking of Amazon I had this chat yesterday (I messed up and I forgot I had started the chat):

Me: Hi, I have two things I need to do: 2:16:22 AM

1) Can I change this order shipping to Amazon Prime rather than Free Shipping now that I am a subscriber? 2:16:22 AM

2) I was considering cancelling Star Ocean but was wondering if instead of cancelling that item I could get it replaced with Pokken Tournament instead: http://www.amazon.ca/Nintendo-WUPRAPKE-...(See full link) 2:16:22 AM

CSA: Hello, my name is Name. I'm here to help you today. 2:17:10 AM

Could you please help me with the order number? 2:17:14 AM

Me: Oops, not sure if the order number is showing up. It is this order: Number 2:17:17 AM

CSA: Thank you for providing the order number. 2:18:22 AM

CSA: Name,, I see that your order is a pre order 2:20:21 AM

CSA: At this moment changing the shipping speed on your order may delay the order as all the orders we receive are stack ranked and we strictly follow the principle of first come first serve basis 2:21:26 AM

CSA: And editing the order at this moment will effect the order processing as the order will be moved back in stack ranking 2:22:04 AM

CSA: Would that be okay for you? 2:22:16 AM

CSA: Name, are we still connected? 2:24:49 AM

CSA: I don't mean to rush you, but we've been idle for 10minutes. I want to make sure we're still connected. If you aren't able to respond in a minute, our system may automatically close this chat. 2:27:17 AM

CSA: Since I haven't received a reply from you in the past 13 minutes, our system may close the chat anytime now. I'm sorry about it. Please do contact us again at your convenient time so that we can help you further. 2:30:24 AM

Yeah it's a cool idea, but that ain't the best "short time demo" game in the world.
 
i was able to transfer my amazon.com preorder for Fire emblem: Fates SE to someone on the forum in the FE:Fates thread who lives in the US and they paid with a gift card. Feels good to be able to help someone get a copy!

I specifically asked that the day I chatted regarding the sticks. The CS rep assured me that wouldn't be the case. But I've had reps say that is what happens if the change isn't made within the first hour or so. So who knows.

Apologies, yes I meant SFV. And no, I am an Amazon Prime member so there is no reason they should be delaying shipping my order.

got my email back from them lol..

Hello from amazon.ca.

I apologize for any inconvenience caused in this regard.

I've checked our records and see that the estimated delivery date of your order is listed as wrong. This occur due to an technical error.

Our technical specialists are working hard to correct the problem. I sincerely apologize for this.

Meanwhile, I've check and confirm that the correct estimated delivery date of your order is February 24, 2016.

probably just gonna open up a live chat when I get home

pretty sure it's not the free shipping either, it says express
 
DeathByBacklog said:
OH. Yeah. I'd be complaining.
Click to expand...

LOL... They won't even give me an estimated delivery date. Not even on SFV, I also asked about my TE2+ and he just gave me the "Those items are out of stock so we are unable to provide an estimated delivery date but rest assured we will ship them as soon as possible" line. Total shit.

yeah I did this. Didn't even ask directly, just kind of suggested I was confused why they were predicting a week+ delay on shipping and hooked me up. They are so agreeable it's kind of addictive.
 
So how long do we figure it'll be before Chun Li's alternate costume will be available to the rest of us that didn't pre-order from PSN?

I bought the season pass, but wonder if that'll eventually cover the pre-order costumers.

This costume needs to be buyable pretty quickly... I can't justify buying this on PSN when it's 41.97$+txs from Amazon E3. :/
 
Anyone in ontario know where I can get a copy of SFV early? I'm in Kitchener but willing to drive an hour in either direction. So Toronto or London or anyhwere in between.
