What are the differences between the standard and launch editions? Does one have more accessories than the other or is it just release/shipping date? I preordered from EB when they reopened preorders after the first batch. Doubt I'll get mine at launch (not a concern though).

I assume the Launch Edition just means you get it around release in November and the Standard Edition is set for December?

What a pile of baloney. I live an hour away from Mississauga so I'll probably be fine but "pay extra or you're going to get it Monday" is bullshit.

Yeah, try living in the middle of Alberta. I'll probably get mine a week late, despite paying for faster delivery.

On a positive note, BB sent me an email yesterday confirming my PS4 preorder and it says release date is Nov 12th, so I thought may be that's when they will start getting them out to let everyone get his console on release date, like they would ship to Alberta on the 13th, GTA on the 14th, I know I'm just day dreaming but hey they said it releases on the 12th :)

As follows:
Dear Customer,

Thank you for your pre-order of Sony’s PlayStation 4 console. As you know this console is street-dated for Friday, November 15.

In order to deliver for street-date, we will begin authorizing and shipping pre-orders on Thursday November 14. Providing your payment information clears our authorization process, your order will ship on November 14.

If you pre-ordered using our Express Shipping service, your order is guaranteed to arrive on the first available delivery date in your area (Friday November 15 for most cities).

If you pre-ordered using our Standard, free-of-charge service, please note that your pre-order will still ship on Thursday, November 14, and will be delivered according to our shippers' ground shipping rules. Customers who pre-ordered using ground shipping can expect to see their orders arrive according to standard delivery times in your area.

If you would like to guarantee your order's delivery for the earliest delivery date available in your area, you can still contact us to upgrade your order's shipping service.

A charge of $16.49 (Plus applicable taxes) will be applied to orders consisting of a single console, and charge of $20.99 (Plus applicable taxes) will be applied to orders containing a PS4 bundled console.

To change your shipping service level, please contact: canadaecomm@ebgames.ca by Thursday November 7 at 11:59 PM EST. Please include your name and order number.

Thank you in advance,

The EB Games Team

I guess I'll need to return my FS Zelda pre-order and pre-order on BB instead. I love trinkets like that.

Any chance FS will get it too?

Man I've played that game so many times... dunno if I want to again. I'm guessing it's based on the PS2 version? Did they add any content to it over the original?
Click to expand...

I'll probable gonna pass on the LE for Tales of Symphonia since the price difference is $60 versus $40 for the Xillia LE.

From I remember, the additions include new costumes, new arts, new mystic arts, some extra scenes, an extra boss added to the extra book dungeon, a usable casino, and some tweaks to fix bugs and adjust boss fights.

Is there a decent video card on shop.ca I could buy to take advantage of the $50 off? I need to upgrade mine, but I know nothing about these... I don't feel like paying a lot more than $150...
Click to expand...

Not really.... what video card do you have now? The only thing in that range is this.


7770 http://www.shop.ca/c/visiontek-visiontek--amd-radeon-hd-7770-1gb-pcie-22080854
For $169

It's normally $10 cheaper at other stores, but is kinda slow and old tech at the moment.

http://ncix.ca/products/?sku=90925&vpn=GV-R726XWF2-2GD REV2&manufacture=Gigabyte

This one is a better card for $139.

But again, all of this depends on what you have now.

You might want to ask BestBuy if the chest is going to be included in your order. The new pre-orders have the chest added as a $0.00 add-on to your order.

I'll tell you when I get home tonight, but yeah, I noticed that the cards are always more expensive. Doesn't really feel like a good deal if I'm "saving" $50 on something that's $40 more expensive than everywhere else.

Thanks!

You can get a 2gb 7850 from newegg for about $150. If $150 is your price range, I'd get that. It's probably your best bang for buck right now. Or a 650 Ti if you want Nvidia.

If you can hold out for a while longer, it might be worth your while to wait for Black Friday or Boxing day. You might be able to snag something better like a 7950 or a 760 cheap.

You want video card advice, go here:

Lots of very helpful people and a very useful OP.

Well it looks like I'll be returning my Futureshop E3 pre-order and getting this instead. I need that treasure chest. ~_~

Pre-order PLACED! Thanks for the information.
Click to expand...

Me too... But I'll just use my Futureshop preorder as a Christmas gift. I need that treasure chest in my life since I missed out on that Ganondorf figure :'(. This will also help me resist buying that sweet 3DS XL.

Did anyone here order a Wii Fit meter? It seems like it's only available to ebgames. Did they money hat this or something? :lol

Got the rest of my used games from FS.

These were all heatgunned too much and the plastic got all crinkled, and Pokemon Rumble Blast has a huge hole punched through the front.

I'll probably return Rumble Blast. Kind of disappointed because I was looking forward to that one.

Yep, I got the wrinkly plastic on all my games too, and whatever inserts should have been in Etrian Odyssey, if any, are missing. Plus those stickers, ugh. I don't think I'll order used from FS again.

Replacement cases can be purchased here: Link

It would be a nice deal too (five cases for four bucks) if not for the shipping costs.

I asked this about 4 pages back but didn't get any responses, but does anybody who works in retail or whatever know the answer to this?

Does EB Games stock used Balance Boards?
Click to expand...

Yeah. They are selling it for $20. Try using the free edge card and you'll get a 10% off on used items. Also, they have a promo where you can get another 10% off whenever you buy a game on its launch date. You can get it as cheap sa $16.
