If they had any to begin with. Most were swept bare pretty quickly. The few I've seen only had Kid Icarus or Kingdom Hearts for 3DS.

Ahah, no problem. I thought of duties just after I ordered last week and worried for the whole week. Luckily, I received Need For Speed Most Wanted U and Mass Effect Trilogy for $60 total, no extra fees.
EDIT: I also got Paper Mario at Staples AND a Pikachu XL (for my girlfriend's birthday) in the last week. I've been pretty lucky! Now I REALLY have to stop buying videogames. :/
What are the chances that I can resell this for more than I paid?
Wow. That was cheap. As for RZ, yeah, it does have. If it is not reflecting to your reward zone account and you already got your copy. Contact them. That's what I did yesterday and my complaint is in the process.
$10 bucks cheaper too, I cancelled by bestbuy preorder and got one here. Only 12 left

Same here!!! I got it for $36 thnx to their e3 pre order deal
Yes, and if you're talking about the $25.99 from 2011 E3, I had the same order. I don't think you're supposed to get any RZ points for 30 days, although they seem to have been giving them to me right away for pre-orders. What's weird is I had 328 points as of the promo e-mail they sent out last week yet now have 1154 with nothing in my posted or pending history other than 99 pending for the purple 3DS I ordered on Saturday. So it looks like they gave me the 800 pre-order bonus for Luigi's Mansion without posting anything about it, plus 26 points, although that should have been 25x2 (but I guess that order was before Gamers Club, so maybe that explains the glitch).
The "glitch" is basically that instead of treating the date of shipment as the 1st day of the 36 day holding period, they're making the date you placed the order as day 1. So if you pre-ordered more than 36 days in advance, the points are posted immediately upon shipment, and if you pre-ordered more than 90 days in advance, they won't even show up in your 90 day transaction record.
Okay, so basically people just need to know what their previous balance was compared with their present balance to know whether they got the RZ points then. Just check your recent promotional e-mails and see what was listed, people.
Still doesn't explain why I got 26 regular points for a $25.99 purchase when it should have been 25 or 50. Anyone else?

Yup, youre absolutely right. I went down there again and they wouldnt price match dead space 3.
I think it's because the Gamer's Club x2 actually gives you 25.99 x2 (rounded down), which is effectively like getting an extra point. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but this has always seemed the most likely explanation to me.
edit: oh you're saying you only got 26? Not 51? Well, then I dunno, heh.

So they changed the price to $190 and included the $30 online credit (making it $160), but of course it's OOS now.
And the order I made last night at $200 shipped already.
wtf FS
Also my BB order of Luigi's Mansion 2 shipped Friday. Last night I checked and it was being "rerouted" to the post office. I don't even think they try to deliver it to my place anymore. -_-

Weird.
Anyone know if Persona 4 Arena is on sale anywhere? I know it permanently dropped to $30 a few weeks back on demand, but it looks like EB Games and Future Shop and everyone still has it $60, which is ridiculous.
I was hoping it would be $30, and then I could use my $10 off FS coupon before it expires at the end of the month.

There's a copy of Mario Party 8 for $20 at SDM in Etobicoke (125 Queensway). I don't think 8 has the massive value of some others, but if you're looking for it, there it is. I hadn't seen Mario Party games in SDM value bins before. Also had Fortune Street there for the same price.
A marketplace seller on Amazon has it for about $25 (+$8 shipping)
http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B007B7BHJ8/
VGP has it for $40 with CD.

Cool, thanks.
Is the PS3 the best version to pick up (ignoring the controller, at least)?
Nice surprise to wake up to!
I ordered the Pikachu 3DS XL last night off of futureshop.ca and the advertised price was the full MSRP of $199.99. I wanted the system, so I placed my order. It shipped earlier this morning. \(^_^)/
I checked the website again this morning and it was then listed at a new price of $189.99, as well as a "bonus" offer of $30 off for ordering online. That would make the base-price $159.99.
I immediately emailed Customer Support asking to be refunded the price difference [due to their Price Beat Promise] and received an email back within the hour. They credited my account [and the method of payment, in this case, my credit card] with $40!
Not too bad.

Oh I just (wrongly?) assumed PS3.
The cheapest the game is on Amazon for 360 is like $37. It's also $40 at VGP.
I don't know if they ever fixed it but at launch the PS3 version supposedly had much better netcode than the 360 version. I just have the PS3 version so I can't compare.

Apparently Costco has the Wii U Basic for $199, could very well be YMMV though.
Also FS/BB weekly flyer March 29th to April 4th has Metal Gear Rising, Crysis 3, Dead Space 3, and a few other titles for $40 each.

Oh, I have no real preference, I was just curious.
As the PS3 version is $10 cheaper I'll probably go that route. Netcode doesn't bother me too much as I doubt I'll play any online multiplayer anyway.
I really have no idea if this is a clearance or not. It could be Costco just trying to get rid of a surplus in stock of Wii Us (does that qualify as clearance?). Sorry.

...bleh. Should have just cancelled my year old preorder. Futureshop hasn't even shipped Infinite yet.
If you're ever gonna play it online, yes, the 360 online is pretty dead.
how did u get it so cheap?

Ditto, I just got my email saying they will credit my order too. Not too shabby at all
10$ promo code stacked with $5 preorder promo.
Judging by results in that thread, it looks like it'll pretty much be everywhere.

Thanks man. Worked like a charm for me.
How does Canada Post manage to screw up the delivery of every game I order? Anyone know what this means:
"Item arrived at postal facility. Item on hold."
I have 2 games that have been in town since Monday, never went out for delivery yesterday, said they were out for delivery this morning, yet apparently they sent them back to the postal facility without attempting delivery or taking them to the post office, and now they are on hold? The dumb thing is my Club Nintendo reward got to town yesterday and went out for delivery at the exact same time as these 2 games this morning as though they were all coming together, and they managed to deliver that, yet no sign of the games that have been in town since Monday.

Ebgames is having a "Spring cleaning" sale. Large mark downs on old games. too many to remember list(600 price changes at my store). Most of them are old sports titles and shovelware, but there are some deals to be had.
Of note: Infamous 2 "Hero Edition" was dropped to 5 dollars(Down from 80). And Uncharted 3 Drake statue edition dropped to 30(from 100). Bioshock 2 PC was 5 dollars, and some old DS RPGs dropped from 50 to 90%. Sale is mostly unadvertised atm.

I saw some people today walking out of EB with a huge GOW limited edition box, so that may be something included?

2 free XBLA games to anyone interested. Saw it on RFD so follow what they say I suppose.

Haha I knew that Infamous 2 CE would drop to a stupid low price eventually. It just took a lot longer than I was expecting, and I already have Infamous 2 in that collection Sony released.
Seems there are a bunch in stock around me, I'll pick it up tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!
$1.99 LOL

I know this is the games thread but we often discuss ISPs and internet and such so I'm posting here in hopes of finding help. It's a little bit of a read, so I hope it's coherent and I'd appreciate whatever help you could offer
Basically, we've been having issues with our internet (DSL) through Teksavvy for the last month. Random drops, sync issues (with the modem) and extremely slow speeds.
We've tried all sorts of different configurations, with different hardware (new modem, no router + 1 PC, and whatnot) to no avail. Currently, the modem is connected at the demarcation point in the basement and the issue is still ongoing. We've been in constant contact with Teksavvy's customer support but we still haven't been able to fix or determine the cause of the problem. It's come to the point where we are being asked to agree to the terms and conditions set by Bell (because they own the lines) for them to come and take a look at the configuration outside of the house (wires, lines, whatever).
Now the issue is, if they don't find a problem, we're going to be paying a $100 service charge and still have no solution (as Bell cites it would not be their responsibility, rightfully so), and we'd have to call up an electrician to take a look at the set up from inside (which we've gone over a hundred times since)
Would you guys from GTA-GAF know of any electricians that you could point me towards? Else, a forum or two that I could post a more detailed breakdown of the internet problems?
It's been extremely frustrating; we've had maybe three or four days in the last 30 where the internet was fine and if this continues we'll probably have to look at switching to another ISP (and I'd hate to do that, as Teksavvy have been great and aside from this I have no complains with them)
