Agreed..Normally I ignore the biogenik stuff but their switch case is pretty nice.
Off Topic but is anyone else getting excited for March 3? More I watch Zelda stuff, more I'm wishing March 3 comes quickly.

i bought curtain call on amazon.ca for $15 but amazon no longer sells the game itself
I think Amazon clearanced it out around $15 last year or so.
I feel like I've seen it for $20 at Walmarts for the longest time, but that may have been $25.
Why would I get the regular and SE versions when I'm already getting the ME?

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
So, Amazon US is selling pre-orders for the Zelda BOTW DLC. It's $19.99 USD. Do DLC codes from the US work here? I ask because it's very likely that the DLC will be $29.99 CAD (or more) here, would I save money buying from the US?

EDIT: NM, you can't buy the code in Canada
EDIT 2: Actually, it looks like it might work if you have a valid US address in your account...
For Canadian eShop pricing Nintendo jacks it up a whole 40% not to mention theyre the only ones who charge tax too, PSN and Steam don't.
So a $20 season pass will be $28+tax CDN.

Not sure if this was posted already but if you guys are interested in The Last Guardian or any game $50 or over at The Source you should check out this promo:
Saw the deal at RFD and decided to give it a shot. Didn't even sign up for the email, just showed the promo pic. Got TLG for $29.
I'm surprised this hasn't been more popular! So far I've gotten Last Guardian, Kirby Planet Robobot and 2 ink cartridges (urgh) for $25 instead of $50 each time.

If their gaming selection wasnt so pitiful I might have actually went to a store but as it is Im happy saving my money.
Oh crap I didn't even think of Kirby. I do want that. Wonder if my local store has it...
edit: not available at the local store, but a couple semi-nearby do have it... hmmm

How do I redeem my $5 amazon credit on an existing preorder?

If you click on the 'order details', there should be an option for it next to payment information.
I know I'm not answering your question, but I want to say Curtain Call is great and anyone considering it who has any love for Final Fantasy music should pick it up. Tremendous game.
I also got Robobot! I hope it's fun.

Yesterday at EBGames, I got the Legolas Fun Pack and Gimli Fun Pack for Lego Dimensions for 99 cents each. They had that price on red price tags on the boxes.

I took the plunge and got Prime. My base game shipped yesterday (ordered 2 e3's ago). But when I got word of how much the Season Pass was, I tried to place an order for the Gold version yesterday. It was release day so I wasn't sure if my Prime Pre-Order promo would work. I still managed to get the 20% off and the game shipped yesterday afternoon.
So there are pluses.
So now I have 2 copies of the game. Deal Anybody want the base game of For Honor for the PS4 for $75 delivered?

That you paid $50 - double-stacked 30%?
Lmao
Only the hottest of deals here in the Canadian Gaming Deals & Discussion thread

LOL you think that's a deal? There are tons of people selling the game brand new for $55-$60 on Craigslist.
DeathByBacklog

Nope. I wish. That order was a single order.
Ahh damn. Just got it on Amazon the other day with prime discounts. Should have waited.

Then...buy from them? Not understanding the hostility there. It's a $15 savings of the regular price. I offered. If someone buys it, awesome. If not. No biggie. I return it. Do you need a hug?
It's not a savings at all. if you can get cheaper copies elsewhere than you are asking to much.
DeathByBacklog
Member
And again...buy from them. I'm not forcing anyone to buy it.
EDIT: For what it's worth. I wasn't aware there were so many copies of the game on kiji, craiglist, or where ever selling for $55-60. Had I known that, I obviously wouldn't have considered $75 a deal. The backlash seems a little unwarranted.

Well, I didn't try it out because one user said that you had to have received this promotion by email and that they would scan some code.
Damn, that's my neighbourhood too. Still debating on it, but I'll definitely come to you if I change my mind. A lot of people selling For Honor. What happened?
Lol go to EB games bruh.

Has anyone seen if the Nintendo Switch Dock Set is up for pre-order anywhere?

Great idea. Only 4 hours drive away. *shakes head*

Don't price-shame, guys.
But also do your homework, $75 is more than Prime+tax.

Fuck, you reminded me, EB is going NUTS with clearances on their Toys-to-Life stuff. Skylanders and Disney Infinity stuff (especially the latter). For instance, I think the DI 2.0 figure pack with Iron Man, Black Widow, and that level thing, which is normally $34.99? Now it's 99 cents.
They also had the Animal Crossing 3-Pack with KK Slider and the two alpacas for only $10, aka $3.33 each figure, which is the lowest I've ever seen for any amiibo. Bought one myself!
Skylanders cards are also like $2 a pack down from their original price of what, $6 or $8?

i doubt we will see any standalone release of the dock for a while, probably using all production for including with the nintendo switch for now
Doesn't seem to be more than any other game at release. Impressions seem to be positive and personally, I love it.

Combination of:
1. Wal-Mart had pre-orders around Black Friday of $49.96 for the game.
2. Amazon matched those on top of 30% so many people got it for even less.
3. Ebgames had a trade in deal of trade 2, get For Honor for free.
So I think many people were open to trying the game out since comparative to so many other titles; it was dirt cheap at release.
After playing the game in the beta and at release I don't think it's the typical multiplayer game that has super mass appeal (I certainly don't like it, but I'm not a fan of fighting games at all).
So it being super cheap and maybe not the most mainstream of titles means that Kijiji seems full of em.

Some people have no...hmmm... HONOR.
RING OUTS ALL DAY ERRYDAY
I just figured Canadians were pissed it was missing a letter in the title.
Yeezus
Member
I'm not sure what's to get. For Honor has a built in faction war like Pokemon Go did. The rings correspond with the three factions.
Wear it? I'm not entirely sure what's confusing about a game shipping with a physical wearable as a pre-order bonus.

You can try asking your local game stores around the 24 I guess.
