Alright, stupid question, but how the hell do you cancel a Futureshop preorder?? I preordered Zelda for the E3 deal, but then decided to preorder the limited edition when they had it for $10 off.
When I go into my account/orders now, I can't find any way to cancel my original Zelda preorder.

As usual Futureshop fucked up another preorder. Saint's Row 3 still has not shipped.
If I hadn't saved as much money I would have been pretty disappointed, still it's beyond stupid that I can go into my local shop and pick it up yet the POS still hasn't shipped out of their warehouse yet.

I pre-ordered Super Mario 3D Land at Best Buy in-store and its actually the same process. I had to go to customer service with my receipt and get my game from the pre-order pile. I assume making the system do that on the website wouldn't be a huge change and they'd probably save loads on shipping costs...Crazymoogle said:

If they already have a process for "real" pre-orders, then it shouldn't be a problem.
Unless this is a case of franchisees not wanting to be "undercut" but their company's website? I assume that the local stores are independently owned anyway.

A little offtopic, but why don't we have a Canada/CanGAF OT like AusGAF does?
This thread is sorta similar, but I wouldn't mind talking about random stuff that doesn't warrant its own thread (or go off-topic here).

They're not that hard to get!Fuzzy said:But then they wouldn't get our Rob Ford jokes.
Also this NPA "Common Sense Team" stuff from the same people who ran Ford's campaign is scaring me in Vancouver. I hope people don't fall for this shit. Although they sent me a smear campaign brochure which just made me want to vote Vision more... "OH NO THE MAYOR IS IMPLEMENTING MORE BIKE LANES AND SUPPORTS THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT? HE IS THE DEVIL!"
Turns out I had 4 Zelda CE pre-orders and 1 regular (I've previously cancelled 2 of those). I cancelled 2 of the CE pre-orders today leaving me just 1 from FS and 1 from BB. If someone in Toronto can't get one then I'll let one of them go for the price I paid for it.Lone_Prodigy said:

I'm sure you'll get a handful of more chances to buy a PSP at around that price, but that strikes me as about as cheap as it'll get. I recall Zellers blowing out GB Micros for $60, but I've never seen a new system on sale at a major retailer for less than that. Usually it seems they'll leave it at $99 and then just leave it on the shelf until it eventually goes.

Hahaha, anyone going to stock up on Playbooks?
RFD is already frothing and this is a much worse deal than the whole Touchpad thing earlier this year.

I can't believe I have to call Futureshop to cancel an online order. Jesus Christ, this fucking company.
It's much more responsive than the TouchPad. Ugh. I kind of want one but I also already have the 32GB TouchPad. Don't need two tablets and I kind of want to play around with the TouchPad once it gets Android 4.0 ported (hopefully).Lyphen said:
$200 for a PlayBook is a pretty good price if you want a tablet though. But that's coming from someone who doesn't use e-mail on tablets.
I'd rather just return it to a store once you get it if it's on your way to work personally. Hate dealing with companies on the phone.Mike Works said:

lol, honestly if you can spare the ipad price just get one, it's in a league of its own in terms of things you can do with it and apps available for any age. Playbook I would wager is just decent for web browsing.

Yeah, the price is the only thing holding me back. I already have an iPod Touch, my girlfriend has an iPhone, I know the extent of the app store (there's a ton of great stuff for kids), I'll just have to suck it up and buy one...probably when the new model comes out.
I'd be better off saving the $200 and putting it towards that.

RFD effect. People are buying now to price match Friday.Takao said:
Still though, at 99/150 it was almost a no brainer... for 200/300/400? Eh. Might as well import a Fire or yeah, save for the iPad.
I was in futureshop the other day and they still had Touchpad screen protectors and wanted full price($50 for them) :lol
Luckaly along with them I found an open box case discounted and snagged that.
$200 for a tablet is a steal. But yeah, I don't know if people are going to to bonkers at the $200 price level anymore after HP did the $100 thing. Flippers are probably going to be in for a shock when they realise there's no profit to be made on reselling $200 tablets.

You think 3DS will go on sale soon?
How old is she? There were a couple of really fun games I liked that that would be kid-appropriate (Doodle Blast, Flood Fill, Pixel Legions) but nowhere near iOS.DJ_Lae said:

That's the thing, it's only cheap when you compare it to the iPad. Compared to other tablets, it's a bit wanting.krae_man said:

I think it would be foolish to think you'll be able to get it for less than 130$ anytime soon.crimzonflame said:
Holy fuck I bought it for DOUBLE that a few months ago.
