Just used my Shop.ca new member rewards and the paypal bonus and the ebates bonus............on a toaster oven for my parents
Does anyone remember if they made similar gestures for the Wii U launch? I thought I'd gotten my online pre-order from Best Buy on the day of release, but I just double-checked my records and it looks like it actually arrived the day after. I live in downtown Toronto, for context.
I really don't think these PS4 from BB will ship before 15th so they won't be at your place for the weekend, heck it it says arriving on warehouses on the 15th.
Ugh, Amazon...
... You are KILLING ME!!!!
It pains me when I refresh the status page, and nothing changes...
Wtf... I'm from Kenora...North Western Ontario - Kenora, specifically. We're roughly two hours East of Winnipeg.
EB just charged me for my PS4 preorder woop woop. No shipping confirmation yet though.
Well, BB closed pre-orders again.
Also some good news for people who got them in, from RFD:
"Looks like the people who pre-ordered from bestbuy an hour ago will get theirs with everyone else... My card just got charged and according to the CSR I talked to its packaged and labelled for shipping waiting to be picked up by Canada Post."
Where do you live?
Because the system launched on a weekend, they would have shipped it out on Friday and since Canada Post does not work on the weekend, you would have gotten it Monday morning. It was the same for me.
Oh, duh. Probably should've thought of that. So yeah, I guess BB was on the ball. Looks like FS is on the ball this time 'round with the PS4 shipments as well.
Random notes: I was in an EB Games today to do the Assassin's Creed IV upgrade from my Future Shop trade-in, had no issues. However, they turned down my Knack coupon, claiming they needed the original (which, if you think about the coupon's origin, does make sense). So it seems like the head office may have sent a memo out about the coupon. Also, while I was in the store, one of the staff was busy calling people about their PS4 pre-orders, so itshappening.gif.
Jesus, good timing on my part. Put in a preorder at BB half an hour ago as a backup because Amazon is the worst. Hopefully it gets here Friday, I'll be very pleased if it does.
I chatted with amazon and then called them.
Basically for those of us who ordered via amazon.ca we wait until the 15th for it to ship, they said other places might be shipping early but amazon doesn't do that/not allowed so shall be getting it next week.
First time I ever hung up on a caller out of annoyance and disgust.
Not mad at the CS who I spoke with, just the situation and amazon falling behind here.

Does anybody know how much EB is giving for launch 60GB PS3s that are still working?
Interesting. Looks like both AC4 and Killzone are now back "in stock" on my FS queue. Hopefully this is a good sign.
Received my confirmation call tonight from EB games for my PS4. Also grabbed Battlefield 4 (EB upgrade), Injustice PS4, NBA 2k14 PS4 and Ass Creed PS4.
Just waiting on Need for Speed to ship.
Just cancelled my launch PS4 order from amazon.ca None of my friends wanted the pre-order at cost. they all wanted to wait a year or two.
I even considered flipping it for a possible profit, but it didn't sit right with me; gouging someone desperate enough to pay that kind of money for it.
It sucks not having money to splurge on something like this anymore, but such is my life as it currently stands right now.
I just went to the Cambie location and the manager (stretched ears) traded all 3 with literally zero hassle. He must've got told by someone. Should be safe there now, guys
Checked it out and said Quantity remaining at 2. Refreshed page and quantity is 0. LolTheres a PS4 in stock at bestbuy.ca for anyone

Best Buy just shipped my PS4 to AB.
WOOP!
Where in Alberta are you?
Sounds like a mugging is in the works
Uh...if you're that hard up for cash, why would you not flip it? It's not immoral to charge somebody a bit extra if they're that desperate to have the hot new thing. Nobody's putting a gun to their head and making them pay a premium rather than just wait or do the legwork to get one at standard msrp themselves.
