Thanks! I picked up DKCR for 21.50$!
I'm waiting for Walmart to restock their Instant Game Collection Vita shiet.
Missed it last time but I'm ready now.
I'm gonna cry if last time was... the last time they'll restock.

One thing I noticed is that Super Mario Galaxy 2 finally dropped in price. I can't believe it took that long.
Most Wanted list hasn't meant minimum $15 for a long time, I don't think.
I hope I'm wrong.

I managed to grab the last one from the walmart in my city a couple months ago and it has yet to be restocked. It maybe a non replenishable item... check out walmart.ca maybe?
I've been checking walmart.ca everyday ever since they sold out about two weeks ago.
Check your EBs, I got mine right after they announced the 2000. They had it in the back.

I did it too but I haven't cancelled my future shop order and I'm not sure about keeping the gamespot one. It's a lot to spend for what was supposed to be a $55 MSRP item, especially considering my future shop order is $40.

? That's weird...this post is from the 27th, but I was able to buy an LE that day...
It must have sold out super quick or they changed the restrictions on it. Sorry, Krae, maybe EB will get more of them up here?
In which case, I'd fucking rage cause yeah it was 15 USD shipping
Guess I'll try on Tuesday when I pick up EOU and RF4.
My luck sucks immensely when it comes to retailers' stock when it comes to stuff like this so I don't bother most of the time.
ICO/SOTC, Heavy Rain, Infamous 2, Twisted Metal, PSABR, LBP2, GT5, GOW:Origins all for $9.99 each at amazon.ca until Oct 15th...
except it seems they haven't updated the prices yet, so keep an eye on the page I guess

edit: they'll adjust the price if you talk to them, I recommend the live chat.

Man, is TLOU ever going to drop to $39.99 for a week?
Hopefully not until I trade mine in for Pokémon >.>
you know the instant it goes on sale anywhere, they will take it off the qualifier list
holy shit
lots of games I've always wanted to check out there
$10 is the right price, too...
It did in June 2013, during the E3 sale.
FutureShop currently has Remember Me for $29.99. I Believe it has a $15.00 trade in value (EB Games) on Tivs.ca So if those of you whom need a game on the cheap to take advantage of the Pokemon X and Y trade in offer. Now's the chance. The price drop ends sometime on the 30th though.
If that deal doesn't entice you, Futureshop's After Hours sale is back on. You can get 10% off the normal price of Pokemon X and Y. So $35.99 before taxes. Good time to preorder...
Yup, and fuck me for not taking advantage of that.
Seriously, the game is taking forever to drop.
I'm kicking myself for not taking advantage during that time. I hate having lack of funds when i really need it.
But the funds weren't required until the game ships.
I can be a little anal about credit card usage sometimes. If I don't already have the funds then I won't use the card... The bigger the purchase the more adamant I am about that rule.
Bear in mind it's really easy to cancel or return stuff. Better safe than sorry if you're trying to get deals. Just pre-order!

For those of you interested in the Ellen Page simulator Beyond Two Souls, it appears my local Real Canadian Superstore is breaking street date. The Edmonton South Common store had it stocked in their game cabinet and I was like "damn you FS/Canada Post" until I realized the release date is October 8th.
Not sure if this is just someone who accidentally stocked it early, or if it would be chain-wide.
That is all.

YES. If you want emulated Neo Geo, nearly every review I've read/watched has said a modded PSP is the much better option, and for much cheaper.

Just wondering if anyone knows if you can use a Best Buy gift card for a Future Shop web order. I typed in the gift card number and the balance shows up on Future Shop's website, but I'm not able to apply the card for my purchase.
I got a $20 GC for free a while ago and thought I'd use it at Best Buy to get Pokemon Y and cancel my E3 order for Pokemon, but it seems I can't since my other 2 orders from the E3 promo were shipped.
It's not a big deal either way, but I was curious to know if you indeed can use a Best Buy GC on the Future Shop website. Can anyone confirm?

Yeah, the cards are interoperable between the stores. At least as of a year ago anyway.

Anyone else not get their Archambault Wind Waker WiiU?
After getting suspicious that nothing had updated on the tracking (guaranteed delivery date passed last Wednesday) I phoned Canada post and despite saying the item had scanned in, it had never been picked up in Quebec.
Apparently Archambault somehow managed to not send anything out, the support guy there said they'd get another sent although I'm not sure they sent one in the first place.

Thanks, might get the girlfriend to stop by there after she's off work.

Awesome. Thanks.
One time I bought an art print and they decided to scrap them and reprint them since the quality wasn't up to snuff after everyone was sent tracking info. That same tracking info was still used when they finally shipped the print 2 months later.
All the initial notification means is "I'm going to ship something with the following tracking information", it doesn't mean it's already been put in the mail. It's the equivalent of putting a stamp on the envelope. Just because it's the day you put the stamp on, doesn't mean it's the day you put it in the mailbox.
The deal has "officially" gone into effect now so if you were waiting for the numbers on the page to say $9.99, now's your chance.
I've used a FS card on BB's site so I'm sure it works.
you can try calling them to apply the GC to that order, or take it to the store to refund when you get it so you can pay with the card.
Thanks for the heads up.
Placed an order for Team Ico Collection, Sony Smash Bros., and Gran Turismo 5 XL. Not touching the latter ever doe.
Be advised that is a "recertified" controller.

Are DSi XL's worth anything to trade in at EB or somewhere? Thinking of trading mine in towards some variant of 3DS, but I seem to see the best prices for 3DS consoles popping up at WM or SDM instead of places that take trade ins, so I don't know if I should just kijiji it and pick one up that way.
I missed that one. Money had to go else where at the last minute. I still look from time to time in case they get it back in stock (not likely imo). I'll just get it elsewhere when I'm ready though.

Ico is currently available on PS+ and SotC will be later this month. Just saying.
I know the feel. Price drop to $9.99 happened while I was at work. It didn't help that I had a long day as well.
