most likely impossible but you may get lucky if you call
The ebgames have it for $130(new) and $100(used). I tried checking other retailers, they all just have a DSi.
Mine hasn't shipped either.
I got the copy of SMTIV that I ordered by accident today, dammit I wish I sorta wanted this game so it would be surprising to get it a day early lol.
Wow that price is pretty easy to digest. Probably gonna grab it, thanks!

Hope that the Loblaws purchase of Shoppers doesn't adversely alter the points program in anyway.
Hmm, thanks. I may check GameShack soon.

It looks like Amazon has charged my card for SMT IV ... but not sent me a shipped notif yet. I hope this means I'm getting this soon rather than week later like their "shipping estimates" say....
I had a feeling this might happen for DW8, I guess I have to pick up my EB Preorder cuz I really want to play it tomorrow lol.

Check Staples, Shoppers, and Toys R Us. They might still have some kicking around.
$12.4B is a lot of Optimum points. :-O
Oh shit I forgot about the GBA BC. Thanks for reminding me. I guess I'll be keeping it.
I'm sure it will. PC points are a big deal to LCL. Expect to see the change at some point.

Anyone know in Toronto where I can get a PS2 controller for as low as possible? Mine has a busted left stick. 
Well, at least Loblaws isn't a greedy company I don't think. I doubt there will be any sudden changes, but maybe over a few years things will gradually change.

There are Optimum point credit cards and the like though. It seems like a headache to even think about unifying the two.

For free? If so, that's really sweet.
If not free, how much?
And I'd prefer it sooner or later, we can meet up ourselves you know.
If you're downtown tomorrow or so, let me know. Yeah this is the best news for me. SDM's house brand for their grocery products is pretty awful in my experience.
I think FutureShop hates me. They haven't even charged my card yet. SMT4 shows as "In Stock" and DW8 as "Out of Stock". But they are put together in the same shipment.
Tsilon got them to do this to you obviously.
I don't really mind waiting for these 2 games except I am concerned about the first print bonus for SMT4. If I have to wait for DW8 to come back in stock and if by the time it does SMT4 sells out, I'll have to wait for that to be restocked. And when that is restocked, it will be without the first print bonus.
And then I will cry some more.
I guess I should wait until end of tomorrow since DW8 doesn't officially release until tomorrow. And if nothing has happened, I'll try to find someone to take me to buy SMT4 locally and I'll use that receipt to return the one that comes in the mail eventually. Or maybe I can just order it again online and then mail one back with the new order receipt.

How available have new consoles been at Shoppers Drug Mart during and after launch? I'm thinking of using my points toward a PS4 purchase, but I'm wondering if I'll have to wait until 2014 to get one (which I'd probably want to do anyway since none of the launch titles entice me).
Well the last four consoles released were all available on day one (Wii U, 3DS XL, PSV, 3DS). They didn't have the black Wii U sku, however, until a couple months later, iirc.

BestBuy US is selling WiiU Pro Controllers for $25...
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Misc/null/pcmcat248000050016.c?id=pcmcat248000050016
Is there any way to get it for this price in Canada? It looks like they don't ship to Canada, and I don't think any canadian store matches prices of US stores...

The Deluxe was actually in their flyer for launch, but then Nintendo failed to send any Deluxes to Shoppers or the Source and probably some other places too. Nintendo really goofed up by making too many Basics and not enough Deluxes, and then failing to distribute them fairly. I doubt that will happen again.

You can also pick up a refurbished DSi XL directly from the Nintendo store for $99.99, with a one year warranty.

Why do I feel like if I hadn't preordered and just ordered SMT IV today from Amazon, I'd be getting a shipment confirmation much sooner? It's listed as "In Stock" on their website right now but my order is still in "Shipping Soon" status.
I hope my copy ships out today considering they've already charged my card

Anyone in Toronto able to help me out?
Would one of you be willing to buy these Wii Component cables off of Monoprice:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10830&cs_id=1083007&p_id=5689&seq=1&format=2
And I will pay you the exact amount?
I don't want to use my bank card and I don't want to spend on a prepaid credit card.
Just meet me downtown when you have the cables and I'll pay you for them.
Edit: Then again, the shipping to Toronto will bump it to over $7...

So I have a PS3 slim 250GB with 15 games and the Move bundle. I want to flip it toward getting a Wii U, where's the best place to do this? Any good trade-in promotions? Most of my PS3 games are exclusives, so I don't think they're worth very much. I'm planning on flipping it once I finish playing through the Last of Us.

Have you tried DX.com? They do paypal.

Yeah, this is pretty bogus. I ordered my copy in April and Amazon.ca says it will be shipped out on July 19th with an estimated delivery date of July 25th. What is the point of pre-ordering if they aren't even going to ship on release date? I will probably never pre-order from Amazon again and will just stick with Futureshop/BB/EB Games from now on.

Kijiji is your best bet, this way you will have cash in your hands then you decide where to get it, I'd suggest you wait for a 20X points event at SDM unless a serious discount is offered somewhere else which I doubt.
My SMT IV is out for delivery today with Purelator even though I ordered late Sunday night but as always Purelator don't seem to deliver, the freaking driver will keep it with him and just report that nobody answered the door, happens to me all the time with them! They are pretty fast at bringing stuff from ON to AB then their drivers just ruin it!!
Saw Wario64 tweet about the Legend of Zelda Box Set: Prima Official Game Guide that's $153 on Amazon.com and thought I'd share that it's $130 on Amazon.ca.

Yeah, I have no use for it, really, but what the hell. Preordered.

Preordered that box set, it's so expensive though
Also as I predicted Purelator updated the tracking info as attempted delivery and now they want me to go pick it up from their depot on the other side of the city!!!! Main reason I hate shopping online with EB!
