CanadaGAF, I'm in a pickle.

Over the course of maybe two days, I missed the window on pre-ordering the Pokémon n3DS bundle and it doesn't look like I'll be able to get one now. I decided to pre-order the Fire Emblem n3DS XL in hopes of using it as a bartering chip to trade for the Pokémon bundle. As it get's closer and closer to release I'm getting more nervous that I won't end up finding anyone to trade with, and I'll be stuck paying for a handheld I really have no interest in. I'm trying to decide whether or not to cancel the pre-order on the Fire Emblem n3DS XL.

Has there been any word on the rarity of the Pokémon bundle? I expected it to be in more supply because of the brand, but alas, maybe because it's a regular n3DS, it's more limited.

On a related note, I missed the Bravely Second CE as well, and I haven't seen even a regular version go up! Am I completely screwed out of this game?

If it helps I have 2 copies of the Bravely CE preordered which I will most likely cancel.

We could work something out if it comes down to it.
 
Most CE (pokemon N3ds and Bravely second for example) usually have a small number of stock at release or near release. If you want them badly, I would suggest monitoring this thread as much as possible in the next 2 weeks for the pokemon 3ds!
 
Got a cancellation notice from Amazon for the Mega Man Legacy Collection on Xbox One. Anyone else get hit with this? Curious if this was another random Amazon error or not.
 
Anyone see a PSP Go at any of those Superstores? The only Superstore near me is a real drive out to nowhere so I don't want to go there on a whim, but I do really, really want a PSP Go.

I don't think it was ever established what model of PSP that particular store has. I'd be shocked if they were GO's. However, if they are indeed PSP GO's, I'd be very interested in getting a hold of one. I'd gladly pay extra for the time/trouble in picking one up.

$50, apparently.

It was just a regular bundle. I don't know if it was a 1000,2000 or 3000. Definitely wasn't a go. Going to superstore tomorrow.

CSR I talked to said I should get an updated delivery date by Feb 14-15 and that I definitely won't be waiting til March

Thanks, I really hope that is the case for me as well, the agent I spoke with really didn't seem sure and said that they are getting it in march despite the release date showing Feb 16th on the product page.

I might try for another CSR, mine said she's gonna contact the shipping department and get it fixed? So I'm not sure if that's an individual thing or not.

Is anyone else showing an estimated shipping date of march 31 for sf5? on amazon.ca
Click to expand...

I have a delivery estimate of Thursday, February 25, 2016 - Thursday, March 3, 2016 by 8:00pm with free shipping.

Damn, I really need to change the credit card associated with my Arcade Sticks but I don't want to be bumped down the queue. I wish we had an official statement on this.
 
Are PSP's really that common at RCSS where you guys are? I have been to every location here in Calgary over the last several months, and the only sign of anything PSP related was a polycarbonate traveler case.
 
Just noticed my delivery estimate for FE Birthright is Monday, January 9, 2017 - Monday, January 16, 2017 by 8:00pm. Everything else in the order is right. In other orders Conquest and the SE are right too... Strange.

Are there going to be any pre-order deals off between now and Uncharted 4's April release date?

Not that I can think of, sometimes there is random 10% or 15% with Best Buy.

I had the same problem on two different order, I switched the shipping speed to standard on the first and that fixed the delivery date (from 2017 to February 26th 2016) and then I switched back the shipping speed to Express/2 days, then the delivery was updated to February 19th (release date).

Tried doing the same on 2nd order, changed to standard, now I cant change back to Express/2 days. :(. So try this at your own risk!
 
Can I buy a copy of SFV at BestBuy and then return my Amazon copy to BestBuy when it arrives?

Seems like my SFV won't get here until next week.
 
Really hope Amazon manages to get me FE Fates on Friday. I've had better than average luck with them but I still get worried. :(

it's the SE too so I can't even shop-n-swap

gonna die if I have to wait till Monday or later

Welp, here is a gateway to a topic that divides a lot of us here in the thread.

You have to thread carefully with buy and return here :P

That'S actually something I've never done. I guess I'm not bothered by not getting stuff day 1, if I need it, I get it from BB (like WoW expansions in the past, but with no raiding for a month, I'm no longer in a hurry to get it day 1)

Man, I'm still at the stage of hoping Amazon doesn't randomly cancel my order because of El Nino or something. I don't even care if I get it on Friday as long as I'm definitely getting it.

This is apparently how little faith I have in Amazon (or Nintendo) these days.
 
Need some advice guys. Trying to sell my PS3, but do you guys know if Ebgames or similar retailers still accept trade ins for this system? Or do you think I'd stand to make a lot more (as in $20+) if I sell it on Kijiji?

Might as well sell the system and cop me a new game, or repurchase GTA V

You can still trade it in at EBGames but don't expect much

You'll get more off Kijiji

could try a local store and hope to get lucky?

i sold my 360 Elite at a local one for close to 150 a few months ago
 
Swing by Microsoft store and got another $100 in steam cards. So my $200 in cards brought me to $280, basically a free full priced game. That should last me a good long while.

Well my preorder for Digimon (release date Feb 2nd) and Naruto (release date Feb 9th) seems to be bundle together, with SFV(?), it says arriving Wedsnesday. But SFV has an estimate of Feb 25th - March 3rd lol.
