I think so, but I mean for the giveaway on uplay. I don't know if you buy/get a PS4 season pass if it is compatible with the PS3 version...

How does this Uplay thing work? I just redeemed my points for a seasons pass but haven't gotten an email yet.

It's been a week since the last one and I still haven't received it, so I have no idea what the time frame is for it.
I get the impression that someone there is doing all of this manually.
It's funny, if you check the rules, you see that there is an email you can use to get 200 uplay points for free to enter the contest. Of course, I tried that, and the dude is on vacation... so who knows. lol

It says it had to be sent before the contest starts. He might have went on holiday when the contest started!

When does this start? I still have some Xmas shopping to do...
Tomorrow based on what I read on rfd. I think even PS4/XB1 are included in the deal. This deal is almost comparable to the E3 deal of FS last June. (If my computation is correct)

Yeah, just found the flyer, it runs from the 6th-12th. Thanks for the heads up!

My shop.ca PS4 order shows "Items in Transit" on the Order History page, but when I click Details, it says "Shipping Soon" (which it's said for at least a week). Anyone gotten any shipment confirmation for PS4?
It's probably going to ship on the 9th.

Either they never bothered to change the prices from Black Friday or this is part of a Cyber Week promotion (because Cyber Monday wasn't enough for the middling deals we got this year!).

Just wanted to say, UPS customs fees are fucking terrible.

I got an email yesterday or the day before from shop.ca that my ps4 is confirmed to be shipping on the 9th. Anyone else get it? It was written in a pretty personal style as opposed to an automatic email

I can never tell with you, Kuro. If you're serious, we can do business.
I'm only half joking about the picture...
I think I paid $10 on an item worth 3,000 yen (guess it was 34ish at the time). Fuck UPS.

I had them dump a package in front of my door at my apartment building once - no other notices, no calls, nothing.
A few months later I got a notice from a collections agency for an amount of duty (I think it was $30) on that package that they had not bothered to get or even ask for from me.

They're pretty much the absolute worst in general. Not sure about the rest of the country, but in the entirety of Greater Vancouver they have ONE pick-up location, which is right by the airport. Which is out of the way for almost everybody.
And to top it off, their hours are 9-5 Monday-Friday.
I would choose Puralator, DHL, FedEx, or whoever else over UPS every time.

I've been told all PS4s are confirmed to ship on the 9th
PS: we're doing fine

The Vita card? How much they charged you for customs?
Lies =p
Never had to pay brokerage for UPS, but I remember using DHL one time 15 years ago. I went to pick up the package from the facility and specifically asked about owing duty, and they said I didn't owe anything, but then a couple weeks later I got a notice in the mail telling me I owed like $18 -- was not impressed that they lied to my face and then stealth billed me like that.

The stick from Namco actually. 60 dollar stick, 43 dollar fees. FML.
You really must feel like Major Nelson at this point. lolI've been told all PS4s are confirmed to ship on the 9th

I hope the stress isn't killing you!
Edit: does that mean they'll go out on the 9th and that we'll receive them on the 10th?
The only good thing now is that they are finally using UPS stores. Even if you have to pay 5 dollars for the privilege of them holding a package for you.
You'd think the driver would want the money.
Sorry man. At least most of the companies that export in Japan use EMS now.
People hate Canada Post but hey, 10 dollar flat fee on any package regardless of value. Thank you!

Yeah, another poster here who bought a stick seems to have been lucky. Assuming they're not just going to hit him when the package actually hits the border. Maybe people in BC don't have to pay import fees.

Hah! Just got the same thing in today. At least I was able to give the UPS guy my credit card when my concierge called (though that in itself is a little sketchy). Now to

Despite all the bitching that's come your way, if the PS4 bundles do get shipped out without issue, I'll leave some positive feedback on your site (or wherever you'd prefer).I've been told all PS4s are confirmed to ship on the 9th

They've changed it so that you can pick up packages at your closest UPS Stores now.
