They're listed as pre-orders though. I wonder why that is?

So that they can cancel if they sell too much I would guess. The Gears of War 3 one is no longer available so as long as it's not that you should get it.

Holy shit, the mobile version of the website wasn't working and denying my order. I quickly swotches to the full site and got a confirmation for ffxiii-2. I doubt the condition is pristine but for 22 bucks I cant lose. I can trade it back in at futureshop for what i payed for it derp

Woah. Holy shit if these are fulfilled.
It says my Ninja Gaiden is scheduled to ship in the year 0001 =/
I don't know if this is allowed in this topic, but anyone have any thoughts on whether this laptop is a good deal? (main use = websurfing / netflix, with light gaming - LeagueofLegends, etc.)

Thanks!

Oh wow, thank you so much.
Grabbed XIII-2 and NG3.
Really really hope these get fulfilled.
Hopefully the CEs they send us include the games and are not only the box and the collectables 
Ridiculous deal if they include the games. Preowned copies of the games for some of these are still 50$. I guess the fact that the games come in special cases made it impossible for them to sell them as preowned. Also have to wonder why they opened so many boxes.

Shit. Ordered Ninja Gaiden, then realized FFXIII-2 was also there, ordered it, then came back here and realized there was an extra $5 if you bought both at the same time.
Canceled the orders, placed them again, and now it won't process as it says I've reached my limit on both.
Oh well.

I think most of Quebec-GAF are expat Americans living in Montreal
Well I'm a french expat living in Québec
Makes me wonder if all the orders will be fulfilled.

Ordered FFXIII-2! Let's see what happens.
Indeed, I'm pretty skeptical at this point. But we'll see.

I got 404d
Well if they've offered them via their website they must had more than 2-3 copies for each. This brings the question as to why they had so many opened CEs in the first place.
I think I'm good. The items first showed as a preorder on their site, then they switched to currently unavailable and they finally took the pages down. I guess as long as you got them when they were available you should be fine.

That's the thing, this was such a hot deal that you'd expect that however many they had (and honestly, how many could there possibly have been?), the games would sell out within a few hours at most.
Yet, both NG3 and FF13-2 were shown as "available" even this morning. My suspicion is the system didn't update quickly enough to reflect their unavailability, or they didn't know exactly how many there were (for some reason). Thus, the orders were erroneously allowed to continue. Then again, it's just idle speculation on my part. Consider me cautiously optimistic.
So "refurbished" meant "opened"?
I got my FFXIII-2 and NG3 CE order in. I'm sure they won't be fulfilled but whatever. I lose nothing.
I already have the FFXIII-2 CE and I'm really not interested in NG3. So eh.
If they really do send them out, I'm just going to give them away as gifts.
I wouldn't be surprised if nothing ever happened though. I already have two orders that have been sitting opened at least a year because they couldn't be fulfilled and were never cancelled.

Damn :[ wanted FFXIII-2
Same. I ordered one of both though, so we'll see.
Keep in mind if you're in Quebec they HAVE to honor this according to Quebec law. See RFD for more info on this.

My Ninja Gaiden was also cancelled but nothing was said about FFXIII-2. Hopefully that one goes through with the discount that was added on with NG3.
They only need to honor pricing, not inventory.
...or just using english because they're on an english message board.
With that being said, fuck Harper, vive le Québec et le français.

listen to the mad man
Not sure if anyone is following the thread over at RFD, but it seems like Rogers Video/Plus is discontinuing rentals and purchases of games and movies. Some stores are reporting B1G1 or B1G2 right now, others will be starting on the 16th.
With Rogers exiting the game, Microplay will be the only remaining national chain doing game rentals. Mindboggling.

That's crazy. I'm in BC and never heard of microplay so I guess we're done for rentals? I don't really rent games, but it's nuts that that likely won't be an option at all in a lot of places going forward.
Figured it was a matter of time. Especially when they started clearing out their used game stocks a while ago. Thanks, guess I'll look into it...

mein gott! That's it then? I can't really think of any other place really to get rentals...whether games or movies period.
I guess there are still a few indie rental places in Toronto; though I never rent anyways.
Death of an industry? Just like arcades?

this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
Yeah, Rogers, Blockster, they shut down near me, the place isn't even open any more, can't buy those games.
But if I had the chance to buy 1 game and get the other free, it would be Gundam Crossfire and Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War.
Those games are severely underrated.

There used to be a number of them in and around Vancouver, but they got squeezed out around the time Electronics Boutique came to town.
You might have some local places, but yeah I think Microplay is it nationally. Microplay is headquartered in Quebec, but I assumed if there are two in St. John's, there's gotta be some out west too
They've basically disappeared around the GTA in the last five years. Ones around here were quite expensive too, so maybe that's why.

Yeah, once Rogers is gone (and there's only one left that I know of) Victoria will be pretty much barren for game rentals.
I still miss my local Blockbuster a lot, as I was close enough to walk to it and renting a blu-ray for the same price as any online streaming service (360, PSN, iTunes, or god help me Telus/Shaw On Demand) was far preferable to suffering through horrible compression artifacts.
That and the game pass was a fantastic way to sample a shit ton of games.
I realize there are a handful of online Gamefly type services in Canada but most are located out east, making them useless.
Yeah I can do SmoqueShack for lunch on the 17th.
TheExodu5 has gotten himself into some trouble in the OT so I will try to let him know on Twitter.
Edit: TheExodu5 is confirmed. PM me what time our reservation is (or if it's too early what time you want to make it for) and I'll PM back when I'm on my way up.
Alright, so how many of us will be meeting up (in Ottawa) for lunch on the 17th? Just PM me if you plan on attending as I'll be making a reservation in the next few days.
