FS just shipped my Black Ops 2 Wii U. Will have a case to stare at 'till Sunday.

 

[zroid]

Did they give you an estimated receiving date? I'm wondering how long these things usually take ... never pre-ordered anything from Best Buy online =/.

nope, lol

Usually them charging your card means they have the item and it's ready to ship. Most often they'll ship it out the day after, but I doubt the Wii U will get sent tomorrow unless Canada Post's been given specific instructions not to deliver it before Sunday (effectively Monday).

Walmart just charged my credit card as well for a Wii U Deluxe.

 

[RaySpencer]

I think EB Games is the only retailer doing midnight launches.

Damn. Are FS and BB at least opening early? And is Walmart 7am on Sundays too? Or just during the week?

god damn it

the eb games at Colossus is opening 2 hours before the Future Shop I'll be at down the street >_<

Damn.

The wait is already killing me. With AC3 Wii U in front of it me now it makes it even worse.

Oh well. I'm hoping people start getting them early next week rather than towards the end of next week.

They aren't doing midnight launches anymore according to the listing. Only Early Openings are now listed. The Midnight Launches section is gone.

Enjoy Gaffers.

As much as I don't need another mouse and I hate mail in rebates, that's kinda tempting

It won't actually work out to profit though if you consider taxes and the cost to mail the thing to the States (which are like a dollar, each)

My total was $9.09 CAD, you get $10.00 back, you also have to get it post-marked.
This is my first time bothering with rebates lol.

maaaaaaan it would work, but too much effort for a free 10dollar mouse.

Got it for my new rig, I know it's pretty good, hopefully better than my G60.

 

[Smiley90]

Got it for my new rig, I know it's pretty good, not better than my G60, but good.

But I have to go through the hassle of mailing it, too... so... meh. Thanks but no thanks.

Net cost will be like 20 cents, lol

 

[SMT]

It'll be worth it, as I know Zalman is quality.

 

[zroid]

If it's still in stock when I wake up tomorrow, I'll order one

I'm already in bed and too lazy to get up to fetch the credit card >.<

 

[BigJonsson]

FS charged my credit card for the Wii U, I guess I'm getting it


And to the post above me, you don't have your CC memorized?

You have your credit card memorized? 0_0

 

[firehawk12]

Oh fuck, forgot to cancel one of my orders. lol

God damnit, I keep doing that. Going back to FS with like 700 dollars worth of video game shit is going to be such a pain.

You have your credit card memorized? 0_0

If you order online a lot, yeah. Especially if you keep the same number for... well, over a decade.

 

[Kazerei]

Whoops, haha. I guess none of the retailers think it's worth the cost to hold a midnight launch to sell a small number of units.

 

[zroid]

And to the post above me, you don't have your CC memorized?

one can only memorize so many strings of numbers in one's life!

I think I lost my wallet from time to time and cancel my CC number, then I find it again and I'm stuck without one for two weeks.

I remember my first cc number though lol.

 

[firehawk12]

Seriously man, I have to return three copies of Halo 4. lol

 

[Deraldin]

Go through a steam sale without allowing steam to save your credit card number. You'll memorize it pretty quick.

Firehawk: 3 copies of Halo 4? Why did you have that many on order?!

 

[BigJonsson]

I've had the same CC number for 10 years and have bought enough stuff online to have it memorized


I might have to return 1 copy of Halo 4, a friend said they'd buy it but they are taking their sweet ass time, 40 bucks + HST!


And I may return the Wii U Deluxe, I dunno yet, I have to think about it

 

[zroid]

Seriously man, I have to return three copies of Halo 4. lol

haha, awkward

 

[firehawk12]

haha, awkward

Yep, gonna walk in with BLOPS Vita, 3 Halo 4s, a Wii U, Paper Mario 3DS and a copy of Lollipop Chainsaw that was never traded in.

Well, at least they know me there at this point. lol

 

[Firestorm]

If you're in this thread you should probably have your CC memorized by now!

I also had 3 copies of Halo 4. Kept one. Sold the other two at $45 (cost) to friends.

At cost, eh?

 

[PalaceBrother]

Quoting this again. Can someone tell me where I can find it? The queue option showed up on the 360 app (as another row), but not on my computer or Android device.

It is only available on some accounts. Another Gaffer and I shared screenshots and it appears that Netflix rolled the queue feature out to a limited set of users. I do not have it and even went so far as to request it from their support team. I was not successful.

 

[Gritesh]

Futureshop charged my credit card last night too for my wiiu preorder deluxe

Looking forward to getting it, probably not till Monday though I assume

 

[zroid]

Wii U Basic is in the Shoppers flyer for next week (doesn't even mention Sunday, so I wonder if they might put it out on Saturday for the 20x, lol). Fingers crossed that they sell the Deluxe as well (haven't seen the whole flyer yet, so it might be in there on another page).

BTW, Saturday specials in combo with the 20x this time -- might be the last big chance to get points before mega redemption.

Just picked up the flyer from my doorstep and flipped through. The Deluxe Wii U is there, on the electronics page, along with NSMBU.

It says available Nov 18

Gonna find out when my local store opens. Don't want to wait till 11 am to grab my Toys R Us preorder.

How have you been buying online for 10 years and still not had your card compromised yet? I've had it happen like 3-4 times over that span.

 

[Cru Jones]

Has anyone that pre-ordered in store at EB Games/Gamestop received a call stating that they would be receiving the system on Sunday? I was like 7 on the list, and am now worried I won't get one.

I haven't been called yet either.

 

[canadian crowe]

I haven't been called yet either.

Ditto. Not really worried though. My eb still had white systems available last week.

 

[zroid]

Also apparently Epic Mickey 2 for Wii U is $40 at Wal-Mart. Seems to be $60 elsewhere...?

Gonna find out when my local store opens. Don't want to wait till 11 am to grab my Toys R Us preorder.

Man, I wonder I'll be able to find one on Thursday. If I buy it then, I can get $50 off with the Seniors' discount, and then use a $170 redemption on top of that. Would be pretty darn good. Not sure if I want to risk waiting though. Errrg, I'll call some stores and ask how many units they've received.

 

[Magnus]

Where the hell was Halo 4 for $10?

It's just as bad buying retail when nothing that takes pre-orders opens until noon on Sundays.
Wal-mart is the only exception.

Except that Noon is still Sunday....?

 

[DJ_Lae]

Where the hell was Halo 4 for $10?

Tsilon coupon ($30 off) plus that two or three day Future Shop promotion ($20 off).

I felt like I was robbing them.

 

[cjkeats]

Still makes Sunday a dumb day to release something. They should be Fridays.

 

[crimzonflame]

So Toys 'R Us is having a Buy 1, get 15% OFF, buy 2, get 20% OFF, buy 3, get 25% OFF sale starting tomorrow.

Ooooh.. Applies to Wii U games too ?

If so... Mario, ZombiU and either DarkSiders II or COD will be mine.

 

[Sora_N]

Also for tomorrow night only (Starts at 10PM, times may vary for some stores in malls), get a $20 gift card when you buy Halo 4 at TRU.

I think there is also a $20 gift card if you buy 2 of the select Wii U games (I think I saw Batman and Scribblenauts, one other that I don't remember) for this week.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

That's pathetic considering they do buy2g1f in usa

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I do, actually. It's super fun but it's bad for impulse buys as you don't second guess the purchase lol.

Many impulse buys were stopped because I was too lazy to go across the room and get my cards. I know the CSV numbers for each card off the top of my head though.

Flyer says that it does not include Wii U games.

Haha same here...I'm trying to avoid memorizing for the same reason.
