The Last of Us was near sold out in Vancouver for weeks after launch. But that was an anomaly.

Ah ok, I'll check again before I sleep.
Don't bet on it. They get progressively worse every year.

Decided I was gonna go to Metro. There's AT LEAST 700/800 people here. Jesus christ. Noping the fuck right back home. Wasted about 90mins of my evening transiting, but w/e. No way I'd catch the last skytrain home.
Gonna just go to EB/Walmart near my apartment early tomorrow morning instead.

Sorry
I'm glad I didn't go, gonna get up early and I won't really have to fight when I get to Best Buy. Not even gonna bother picking up my EB order. Will just cancel it later.

... why are you sorry? LOL. Simply because you're Canadian or... is there some actual reason?

Wii U Zelda bundle includes Black Ops 2 this weekend at Best Buy. I just bought one this past Friday, damn.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
I still don't understand why FS/BB took Tales of Xillia off the the trade list. Yes its on sale for $40 this week but there's so many other titles that retail for $40 and are even less used.

FutureShop said they couldn't process my order for Pokémon X, but I checked my bank statement, and they have already charged me.
Please don't toy with me like this. :/

Delivery date for Pokemon is the 15th for me from Futureshop. If I buy a copy at EB Games Saturday, can I return the Futureshop copy there on Tuesday?
Sweet. I did the same since I just woke up. I hope I'll get my copy later!
Zombi U bundle is back in stock at Price Matters for $269.99.

So these recertified items are supposedly in great working condition. If anyone here bought this or any other electronic product from these guys can you comment?

Hey, at least you guys are getting your game. Still no word if Rune Factory 4 even exists in their system now.
Xseed said they only bought enough to fulfill pre-orders, which is obviously not the case since there are people who are just backordered.

Ebgames looks like they still have a lot of RF4 copies... at least I got mine from them just this week.

Yeah, I think I might just go in and grab it that way. I kind of wish they just said they sold out and aren't getting any more rather than this weird "we have it but maybe we don't" thing.
If you want it just buy the blops 2 package and return just the system using your old receipt. I don't think Nintendo puts individual serial numbers on consoles anymore.
The flyer said something about a pin but it was annoying enough trading in a game for it that I didn't bother trying to ask about it.
Same here. You're lucky though, estimated arrival date of my copy from FS is Wednesday -_-; At least I have RF4 which is totally keeping me occupied XD

I ended up trading in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team for Pokemon X.
It all worked out I guess, because my Future Shop pre-order was for Pokemon Y, but after I saw the Charizard from Pokemon X I wanted to switch. I'm just going to return my FS order when it gets delivered.

Because you had to go to Metrotown. That's sort of why I didn't bother going last night.
Which location?
I like the colour pallet on Y Charizard but prefer the Dragon on X Charizard. I don't know what to do :'(

I guess it really just depends on whether or not you want it now or later. It might be that they'll get new shipments in a week or two...
I bought RF4 at a shop and when I asked (since it wasn't on display) the clerk told me they had 12 copies in the back so there's no rush....

Traded in 3D land for Pokemon Y at Best Buy, and Lego City for Pokemon X and Futureshop.

Same thing in Calgary. Game was sold out for weeks, thankfully I pre-ordered online.

Noooooo!
They removed Dragons Crown from the trade in list at FS.
No Pokemon for me I guess.

No. I don't think so. They rarely change their list unless something prompt them to do so. You will also get a t-shirt. Like this one!

I went to Heartland in Mississauga.
I was surprised you were able to reserve in store too. I did that as soon as I woke up at both Future Shop and Best Buy, I got a confirmation from both like 30 minutes later.
wow THAT'S the FS t-shirt? Dang, kinda wish I went there instead of BB now. Probably wouldn't fit me though anyway...

Just making sure EB doesn't have some weird exchange only rule.

lol, I'm totally wearing that shirt if I get one in the mail from FS
K, was worried since they put 3DS games on the list which means that they will likely get a lot of 3DS games for the trade.
