Same with the EB in Richmond Centre, and I'm pissed.

Yeah, my store in Oshawa told me that their copies got shipped to Ohio.
Whats worse is that they told me Atlus lifted the release date embargo, that way if they got it in early they could have put it out right away. They said they expect it on Wednesday or Thursday.

Hey, does anyone know where to get Japanese DS titles in the GTA? I want to get a copy of Ouendan 2 and online is my last resort. It'd be awesome if I could find a place. I know A&C has the first but I'm really looking for the second. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Pacific mall maybe your best bet, but you might be better off online with their prices.AnkiRendan said:

So the 3DS rumour is true. 199$ at Wal-Mart. Is this a price drop for all retailers?
Amazon always showed new releases as out of stock for me. They rarely do same day shipping in Canada. They will ship it to you soon. Unless you got a email saying it is delayed then they do have it.

listen to the mad man
Catherine had shipping problems country-wide of at least a day, sometimes longer.

Mine shows ship date of Jul 29th, with an estimated delivery of Aug 5-10th.
It's out of stock right now. I'm anxious because I preordered late for my Deluxe Edition. Anyone else have the same problems?
250 Mbps, Yes. Proper 0 on there. Basically, 31.25 MBps. For the first time, the limitation will not be between me and my ISP. I'm so stoked. I can't wait for the 250 Mbps connection. So badass. I think I might have to upgrade my router though. It's pretty old and I'm not sure it can handle such speeds.i-Lo said:
Should be sometime later this year. As for bandwidth cap...lemme see here.
Basically, the first number is download speed, second number is upload speed, 3rd number is data cap, and 4th number is the price to add on to legacy shaw TV packages, and the last number is the new basic cable plan + internet price.
Phase 2 Broadband Packages (Rolling Launch Starting August, 2011)
Broadband 100:
100 Mbps DL, 10 Mbps UL, cap 500 GB, Add $69.00, packaged with basic cable $94.90
Broadband 100+ (higher cap version of 100)
100 Mbps DL, 10 Mbps UL, cap 750 GB, Add $79.00, packaged with basic cable 104.90
Broadband 250
250 Mbps DL, 15 Mbps UL, 1 TB cap, Add $99.00, packaged with basic cable $124.90
Unlimited 250
250 Mbps DL, 15 Mbps UL, Unlimited Data, Add $119, packaged with basic cable $144.90
The above does not include their 50 Mbps packages which are gonna be pretty basic. Didn't bother including those prices.
Well with the analog to digital transition, Shaw's infrastructure had something like 60-80% of it's bandwidth open up suddenly. No need to send expensive analog signals on every cable anymore. If they tried to go for this transition any sooner than was mandated by law, the user backlash would be too huge. Many people still have just the coaxial cable with no set top box for cable television.RS4- said:

I played this on 360. Is it really worth a double dip. I found ME2 so much more linear than ME1. Can you really do things that much differently?
Ulchie said:
Those are great speeds, but the prices make me realize I'm perfectly satisfied with a reliable 15 Mbps.
Still, other than totally botching its initial approach to the question of charging for additional bandwidth (one of the reasons they lost me as a customer, and presumably others), I think they've responded fairly well. Their new caps are much more reasonable IMO, and while they're not for me, their new plans are obviously quite good.
I am really happy with Teksavvy right now with 15mbps but those Shaw speeds are mouth watering and the bandwidth cap isn't bad either (I get 300GB/month).
I have to say compared to Shaw, Rogers and Bell are filthy blood suckers. So fucking hate Bell for UBB bullshit. Glad that wholesalers like Teksavvy exist.

I was able to pick up a copy on release day from a local independent retailer.Stumpokapow said:
I think it might of just been the big companies that were affected.
I have a question about that Futureshop deal that everyone took advantage of around e3.
Does anyone have any idea yet as to what is going to happen with the Team ICO collection? Like, right now on the site, it's at $59.99, and with the five games for $20 off each, right now, I'm getting it for the ~low low price~ of $39.99.
But isn't it supposed to be $39.99 retail anyway? That's what ebgames.ca says.
Does anyone know if we're going to get it for the actual price, plus the $20 off (IE: $19.99), or if they're going to rip us off and our ~discount~ will be to get it for the same price that it goes for in retail?
If no one knows yet, I guess we'll see! I'm gonna keep an eye on it, though.

You will pay whatever price was there when you preordered minus your discount.
So if a $60 game drops msrp to $50 before release and you have a $10 discount you will still pay $50. You will have to call or email them after your game ships to get a refund for the discount amount.

Boooooooooo. Thanks for the reply, despite the fact that I don't like it, haha.
I mean, there's no point in cancelling it, cause I'd be getting it for $39.99 anyway, and I can't get a different game with the deal, so...
Maybe I'll whine at them when it gets closer to release and see what happens.

The 3DS price in Japan is officially crashing from ¥25,000 to ¥15,000 in early August.
North America is dropping a little softer from $250 to $170.
As an apology to those who paid too much for the system, early adopters will receive the fancy titles of "Ambassadors" and will be able to download 20 pre-release Virtual Console titles for free.
This means that Wal Mart and Futureshop/Best Buy are jumping the gun on the price drop, and basically charging $30 too much, but it might be worth it if you want into that "Ambassador" program.
Edit: Stumpokapow in the other thread just suggested taking advantage of price protection, so if you want into the Ambassador program, it doesn't even need to cost you $30.
