Looks like Amazon.ca raised the price again to $129.77, earlier today they dropped it to $102.99 and adjusted all current preorders to that price!

Nice, just checked, and sure enough there's a $108 order total for that item.
I may keep that order after all.

That's what I did!
I wanna buy Star Wars The Complete Saga but I honestly i don't wanna pay $80 for them, do you guys know any way I can get them for cheaper?

This is Pillow GAF-worthy, but Safeway has a promo on where if you buy 4 (or more) Fanta 12-packs ($2.88 each) you get a Buy 1 Get 1 Free Cineplex movie ticket ($12-$20 value).
Sold.
That's not taking into account the deposit fees + recycle fees though.

Does anyone know if you bought Last of Us from Futureshop instore you would receive $10 off any video game in July?
Thought I read that on the flyer last month but I can't see the coupon anywhere on the receipt...

I guess it was only the $50 off a headset, no $10 coupons as far as I remember.

Anyone see a new copy of Crash of the Titans Wii in any store? Lost mine during a move so I'm on the search for a new copy.
It's a good game BTW.

Hmm, I could go for NSMB2 and OoT3D.

$3 for a 12-pack is as cheap as it gets. Unless they're the 341 mL cans now, in which case it's not as great.

Semi-related question, but how widespread are fake chinese knockoffs for the WiiU Pro Controller? I really want to get one, but $50 is a but too much for me. There's a lot of cheap ones on eBay and Kijiji, but I'm afraid of getting a fake one. I know I should obviously avoid listings from China, but am I at risk if I order something for Canada/USA?

Hey guys, I have a question about UPS. I ordered The Sky: The Art of Final Fantasy books on Amazon and it's coming with UPS. I will not be home during the day this week and their office is too far for me to reach. Do they accept a signed paper saying that they can leave it at the door or I am just screwed?
Thanks!
Thanks!
YMMV, but in my experience, you're screwed.

Sold out online, cannot reserve in-store. Would've tried to convince some of my friends to buy it, otherwise.
Ooh, sounds like the Basic Set is getting discontinued
Price match it and get the difference. They have to honor it.
Yeah, I just checked my pre-order. The price was adjusted to just under $103 [despite the site now listing the price it was prior]. That's incredible.
I pre-ordered this on instinct but honestly, at that price, I think I'll just go ahead with the purchase after all. For a little over $100 that's a lot of content!
Hopefully it was a sign of things to come. Wii U for 200 is a damn good price, considering the launch lineup.
That would be nice, it's what I paid on Day 1.

This reminds me of the Dreamcast's 100 dollar rebate....
Tiger Direct? Or is that too expensive?

Hmm, thanks for the link, seems buying from ebay is the cheapest choice.

Found the flyer page:
Should I just print it out and bring my receipt to Futureshop?

Yup that should do, they will honour it!
If you want me to check with him again and buy you any games let me know.
Hmm I wonder if i can print out my web receipt and try that too lol.
Bunch of Disney Blu combo packs on Amazon.ca for around $15 including Alice.
What else is $15? I took a quick look, didn't see anything.

Yeah that's not really worth it, what are the selected games they mentioned though?

Probably $20+ games is what they meant here!
I was just looking through my E3 Future Shop preorders when suddenly my PS4 preorder was now listed as $0 and says that it has been canceled. Anyone else have this happen...? I've sent an e-mail to customer service, but I'm hoping I haven't just lost my chance at a launch PS4.

What the hell? Mine says order cancelled too.

Treasure Island is $10 along with a ton others like the pirates films and James and the Giant Peach. Tron, Tron Uprising, Muppets, etc. are all $15.

Okay, so I'm pissed.
I called Futureshop's line to see what was going on with my cancelled PS4 preorder. For the record, I made the preorder a day or two after the preorders went live.
So I get a customer representative who puts me on hold for a few minutes to check because she can't figure it out. She comes back and says that Futureshop gave me a call to verify the preorder (she can't tell me when this happened) and sent out a verification email, since I didn't reply to either it got cancelled.
First off, no verification email. I check every FS email I get (which is a lot, considering I've had GTA5 and The Last Guardian preordered for over a year) and I don't delete any of them. I just checked my inbox, and the only PS4 email I got was the confirmation for the preorder. So that was a lie or they forgot or something.
As for the phone call, my credit card phone number is a house phone number which rarely gets answered. The number is tied to my credit card, so when she asked why I didn't use my cell phone, I said that the billing information most likely wouldn't go through, plus I've never ever received a phone call for any preorder before from Futureshop.
So I asked to get put through to a manager. The manager was a smooth-talking woman, who, after I explained everything, suggested I place a new preorder. I told her that I was worried that placing a preorder now would mean I wouldn't get one at launch, and she assured me that all preorders will get filled. I asked her if that meant I would get one at launch, and she said, "Right now the PS4 is slated for November 30th and that's when our preorders will get filled, yes." Again I asked if that meant I would still get one at launch, and again she phrased it in such a way that didn't guarantee it. It honesty felt like talking to a Microsoft PR at E3 just before the DRM switch.
So I said, "Please just say, if you preorder it right now you will get one the day it comes out, and I'll do that." Her voice suddenly became exasperated and she said, "Yes, you'll get it day one."
I tried explaining the phone number conundrum and she suggested I try calling my bank. I explained it very clearly that the CC I used doesn't have my cell phone number tied to it and FS doesn't seem to let me put a preferred number in my profile, and she again told me to contact my bank. So I gave up trying to explain the issue there.
So I've made a new preorder now, on a different CC that has my cell number tied to it.
And if I don't get a launch day PS4, I am going to be kind of furious. Worst part is there's no one I can hold accountable here. We'll see, I guess, and I encourage everyone to check their preorder status.

Ugh, i just checked and while my PS4 preorder is still intact, a lot of my game preorders are just gone. What the hell...
I was getting that error and then it just worked right now and it's still there for me.
"Order Status: In Progress"
Does anyone think that will be the cheapest BLOPS2 will get?Found the flyer page:
Should I just print it out and bring my receipt to Futureshop?
Also WTF. Why is PS3 Black ops more expensive than the 360 version...

Is the order total 0.00 for you on those orders? I've got several that are just zeroed out. But now I'm getting that error as well when I click on them.

WTF FS, looks like their system has shit its pants and many of us will suffer or they are targeting people who really took advantage of E3 offer!
That's an old flyer back from June!
