Okay nevermind I did my basic Math wrong again. I think I got them for... 44.99? Or somewhere around there?
60 * .82 = 49.2$ each

so......how do I get in on this?
I bought my brother a PS4 and we game-share. Not a solution for everyone, but it's nice.

Yeah, I was just going to ask if you were game sharing. lol
I wonder if BB/FS will come through with some last minute updates, but I kind of doubt it.

I actually got those 3 for 41.81$ each.
That's after having Customer service partially fix my order, and me having to fix a few things on it.
Hmmm since Arkham Knight is part of that order (but in a different order #), it'd actually be those 4 for 43.56 each.
When I whined to them about MH4 earlier, the eventually tweeted back that they will be adding more stuff "soon". So I'm hoping.
BB neither, but it can't be long now till they get it implemented.

another time sink instead of finishing up that PhD....
Question. I just remembered, Paypal sent me a message saying I have $25 to spend towards Shop.ca. It expires on the 30th. I'm thinking of using it, along with my in-store credit, to purchase DK Tropical Freeze. To apply the Paypal credit, do I need to log into my Paypal account when I'm at checkout?
You have to pay through PayPal.

Buying games means you don't have to play them!
GAF logic. lol
Not part of the preorder thing yet. Hope they update it soon.
Same on BB, KH 2.5 as well.
I just noticed they were up and went to add them to my order before submitting only to see no discount...
Only two I'm waiting for haha.

Ah damn I can't find KH 2.5 on BB yet. I'll check back around 9-10PM EST then I guess.
Outside of like maybe Akiba's Trip on BB, and Disgaea 4R, Neptunia and Freedom Wars we're missing a lot of other Vita games here. I was counting on Persona Dancing All Night, Senran Kagura and PDF2nd as well and so far nothing. At this point those last 3 aren't even gonna be up

can't find mh4u...aaagh!

Arrrgh, I keep going back and forth on the Wii U when people would pull the trigger. I don't think I will have enough time to justify the purchase. Gonna adjust my order and maybe my cousin will loan me his console when Zelda U releases.
I will play Smash on the 3DS and the Wii U version at his house.

Okay, so I caved and pre-ordered a few games just because it makes sense to save some money on the games I'm most likely going to buy. Last year I had a mountain, this year it's only...
Dragon Age Inquisition
Tropico 5
Final Fantasy Type-0
Assassin's Creed Unity
Not going to bother pre-ordering 2015 games on the off chance by next E3 the dollar gets back in shape - if they get any more expensive I just won't buy them so it's a no risk thing for me. Luckily, I still have a bunch of 2015 games pre-ordered from last year too like Final Fantasy XV.

they're the same, BB and FS just fucked up... they will get merged soon

X was the working title for Xenoblade Chronicles X. They are the same game.

I'm comparing prices on sales between Amazon and Best Buy, and noticed that amazon's shipping looks odd. I'm prime with free two day shipping but they all say they will be delivered the week after release.
Does Best Buy have release day shipping? Is it at least faster than a week later?

I wouldn't worry about that too much. Amazon shipping estimates are always weird.
Thanks for clearing it up. My logic is that if the dollar rises and the prices drop for next sale then we can always cancel our current order and re-buy in. The vicious cycle continues. Only games I'm avoiding are ones that I am skeptical on their sale success. Those types of games usually plumet in value considerably.
What are your guys' experiences with refurbished WiiUs? Any reason to believe they'll break down in a few years? I've got one experience with a refurbished unit (PS2) and it was a bad one so I'm reluctant to save not-an-awful-lot-of-money for that risk.
Does the $200 offer have an expiry? I'd probably jump on it if there was a risk they'd pull it.

I think earlier someone was asking if they could add orders to their old amazon e3 deal when it was really good. I just did it and it turned out fine. I still have my 33% discount even after adding Smash Bros Wii U, Atelier Rorona Plus and Hyrule Warriors to my order. Didn't try games that aren't part of the promo though.
I don't think there's an expiry, they've been up for a while now. No idea about quality, but I know one gaffer has had a bad experience trying to get his shipped to him.
I ordered one today. According to other gaffers they are likely brand new unsold stock from the original launch deluxe sets being unloaded as refurbished.

Fantasy Life 3DS is 50.99 on Amazon...
Mmm, I'd get a WiiU at that price.
What the duce? I was to late. DAMNIT!!!! I already have a Wii U but for that price, I'd cop a 2nd one. Would BB even honor that?
Highly, highly doubtful. It's still there, but clicking it goes to a 404. I'm opening a new tab every few minutes, just in case.

The product listing still shows up in search, but I can't even get the product page to show up--not even after messing about with the URL, which was how I got Fantasy Life to show up before the search results had the proper URL.
My fellow Canuck GAF, if we are impossibly successful in ordering free Wii U's then that's just wild. I don't even know what to say after that.

We can hold hands and pray together for it to be added. I'm sitting here, ready to cancel my other throwaway BB order so I can add more stuff to it. Ugh, I'll give it another hour or two.
Assuming FS gets their shit together with KH2.5 + STEAM, my lists are looking like:
Future Shop: Bayo 2 ($46.42), Codename S.T.E.A.M. ($27.99), Fantasy Life ($28.56), Kingdom Hearts 2.5 ($32.13), Kirby & the Rainbow Curse ($46.42), Pokemon Alpha Sapphire ($32.13), Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright ($32.13), Project Giant Robot ($46.42), Project Guard ($46.42), Star Fox ($46.42), Story of Seasons ($32.13), Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call ($32.13)
Best Buy: Fantasia ($41.99), Hyrule Warriors ($45.49), Xenoblade Chronicles X ($45.49, replacing a previous pre-order I had for $50)
Amazon.ca: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker ($41.81), Splatoon ($41.81), Wii Sports Club ($31.36)
The games that I knew I would not risk cancelling/returning went to BB/Amazon if they had the best prices, and the rest all went to Future Shop (paying the $0.80 'return risk' premium), since there's no BB near me at all. I stuck primarily with Nintendo stuff since it rarely drops in price (and I have no PS4/XB1/Vita -- yet). I expect a number of things to be cancelled once they're revealed to be eShop titles or w/e, but hey, I'd rather lock in the $47 if they turn out to be a) Retail and b) Good.

Those are all cheaper with Amazon's discount (41.81 instead of 46.42) so after tax the saving is significant.
Wasn't sure if they will be any good... I got a FS locally I can return them too if the reviews suck
Solidarity my brother, solidarity.
BB UPDATE:
Naturral Doctorine was added to the Vita section.
