Got a news letter the other day. Don't know if anyone's interested but GameStreet.ca has a special promo going. Just enter coupon "FAMILY10" at checkout and get 10% off your order. This is going on from Feb 15th-17th.

Still not Vita deals for Ontario

At this rate I'll likely just bite the bullet and pay full price for the new model.

There was a Vita deal few weeks ago selling it for $150 unless it's not your soft spot for it.

Riedinizzo · Feb 16, 2014

Is the Titanfall CE available for pre order anywhere? I see it in stock online for American retailers...but all sold out here. Anyone know the deal?

Why don't you get the new MH4 3DS LL Rajang Gold?

I can't stand holding a original 3DS for long periods of time so that would be my last choice.

I just googled it and it does look cool, no game tho but that's not a total deal breaker I guess since like yourself I can't stand holding the regular 3DS for long periods of time either.

Lol no on the Love Plus 3DS. There's also a black and gold Thearhythm FF 3DS in April. Why are there so many 3DSes!?!?

And yeah Kirby is pissed too over here to my disappointment. I was surprised to see it out when I got here a few weeks ago and more surprised the NA date was May.

I wonder if the 2000 is meant to phase out the OLED or it'll be like the OG 3DS and XL where they coexist.

If it's the former, we might get lucky with clearance sales.

Ondore · Feb 16, 2014

Good news, everyone!

Yes, that's $45 for the ESHOP version of Azran Legacies. Because you know, the cost of importing bits is so high.

Fucking hell. Just as I thought it could be worth it to use Nintendo's terrible download service to avoid the price gouging...

I don't really mind the price increase for PS3/4 games as they'll all be $20 six months after release anyway, but since Nintendo games never drop in price, it's gonna be painful to pay more than $50 after taxes for handheld games...

I was planning on buying Mario Kart 8 digitally but I might just hang on to my $39.99 FS order if they are going to raise the price.

zroid · Feb 16, 2014

yep, we're screwed

Cactus · Feb 16, 2014

I guess I'll be buying from online retailers like VGP and eStarland a lot more in the immediate future...

ohlawd · Feb 16, 2014

Yumi shouldn't get hit since its digital only.

... right?

Ondore · Feb 16, 2014

Is this recent? Because this is Tropical Freeze now:

and I could've sworn this was $49.99 previously.

chrono01 · Feb 16, 2014

Whatever pre-orders I have from the FS E3 special are the only games I'll buy from retail [and digitally, for that matter] if the prices keep going up as they are. It's not as though my backlog isn't large enough as it is, I think I can pass on a few titles.

This is ridiculous.

That's lame. That matches the retail listings now. Not looking forward to paying $69.99 for Mario Kart 8...

Well when Natsume announced the price I'm pretty sure they were only specifically talking about the US. So who knows.

lamaroo · Feb 16, 2014

C'mon Nintendo, that sucks ass.

ChosenPredator · Feb 16, 2014

guess its happening all over now :-/

Ondore · Feb 16, 2014

Hope you all have Deluxe WiiUs, at least then buying DKC would get you $5 in eShop credit :/

mohsinkhan · Feb 16, 2014

I bought second son last night from the PS Store, I am scared this will eventually happen there aswell.

I'm sure the price hikes will help move WiiU software...! :3

After Dark Souls no more full price games for me
Gonna wait 2-3 months on everything.

I believe it was but Nintendo joined the price hike I guess. It goes to show you going digital may not protect you after all. In the online store Sony, Nintendo, and MS can set the price to whatever they want. They answer to no one under those circumstances I guess.

Jacksonlee · Feb 17, 2014

i'm out of the gaming world guys.

i'll be back when all the games are less than 19.99.

so.... 3-4 years?

goodbye, cruel, canadian world.

Well, now I know I'll be waiting for FS/BB 50% off used game sales more often and screw you Nintendo!

I've never seen that headset before, it's different from the Playstation branded ones!

Still can't find a cheap Super Mario Galaxy.

Tiktaalik · Feb 17, 2014

The exchange rate doesn't magically go away just because something isn't physically being sold in stores you guys. You are paying with a Canadian credit card after all.

I have no idea why you'd expect something else.

probably because the whole point that people encouraged digital sales was because they expected it to be cheaper than physical copies.

sucks for them, if they thought companies would actually lower the "standardized" price of videogames just because it's digital.

not near my 3ds but can anyone check if Braverly Default is still 39.99 on the eshop? if they raised it, ill get the retail version instead

Wow I'm so glad I locked in my Amazon TF order at 48.

VGP is the remaining seller that still has it for 50 now.

Oh and I forgot to mention because it slipped my mind, the last game which Natsume published, Hometown Story, was $39.99 on the US eShop, and iirc $40.99 on the Canadian eShop. And this was back in like October.

So don't be surprised if they make us pay more.... ;\

You still have VGP, let's just hope they'd rather increase their market share by keeping the prices as it is! They might even sell through Amazon more than Amazon themselves do!
