I worked with a Princess once.....

Yeah, it's free. Gravity is a movie starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. I'm not sure if the digital code is 3D or not. It came with the blu-ray of the 3D version of the movie. It's yours if you want it.
You can have it if I-Jest doesn't want it, since he responded first.
I'll pass on it.
EDIT:
VGP has a special going on. Up to 60% off on select titles. https://www.videogamesplus.ca/specials.php
Deus X Human Revolution ( Wii U) is looking mighty tempting at $19.99
I didn't realize Dracula X Chronicles was that cheap. I might pick it up just to play SOTN again. I really wish I kept my PS1 copy of that game.
The 1yr PS+ kept on dropping at amazon. It's now 41.32
Just wait. They have the pre-order price guarantee.

Would you share that 10% coupon or is it unique?

It is available for US$43.25.
The code will work for Xbox Live Membership Subscription in US, Canada, and worldwide.
After conversion, I think you can find it for cheaper in Canada.

I think that means if you preordered it at 69.99. I don't see them adjusting our E3 preorders as they are already cheaper than the MSRP.
yep
I unique code
Yeah. That's why amazon has the best offer among the three. Of course if you were able to get the 30% or 33%. $36 for TLOU is sweet.

I think I'll just need to bite the bullet for Last of Us, I don't really want to work for like an extra $8 savings. I'l still getting it at less than retail, and I made some sweeeet scores during E3. Can't get greedy.

My guess for the Amazon.ca stuff is it will work like the BB/FS pre-orders, sort of. Check your order, and if the current Amazon.ca price is lower than what's listed for that specific item in your order, then you should eventually get the lower price reflected in your order.
Two things to note: yes, this means that if the "30%" you got on a game was 15% on the individual item and 15%/18% on the whole order, then you'll only get a reduced price if the current Amazon.ca price drops below the 15%-discounted price on the individual item. But also, you should get to keep the 15%/18% on the whole order (or 30% if you got in early!), so it's not like BB/FS in that you have to wait for the price to drop below what you would've gotten with the E3 discount to see any benefit.
Hopefully that all makes sense, it's a little convoluted.
I got that as well. I'm going to email back "cut and paste price guarantee policy" is not an appropriate response even if they are refusing to adjust the price.

GRID Autosport has arrived. The first of many E3 orders...

When I entered it while placing my order, it said August 2015. Which seemed like a really long time because when I've gotten them in the past they would expire within a couple months. So it might have been an error.

Those of you who received their first Amazon pre-orders: how were you charged? Price of the game minus 30%, price of the whole order, something else...? I know BB/FS will charge the discounted price of each game individually, but I have no idea what to expect from Amazon...

Did anyone else's TLoU PS4 Amazon order update to the new price?
Mine is "Out for Delivery" as we speak!
Just checked and mine hasn't updated. Still sitting at $59.49 before all the discounts.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
I'd love the Gravity code if it hasnt been claimed yet. Been beening to watch the movie for a while now.
To avoid sounding like a complete bum, I'll give away a movie code for Now You See Me if anyone is interested.

Meanwhile, the clock has already started on Amazon.ca's delivery of Shin Rorona Tens--er, I mean, Atelier Rorona Plus. It's been a day since release and no sign of it even being at the warehouse. Amazon lists the expected arrival date as sometime around the fourth of July weekend and the product page says "ships in 1 to 2 MONTHS."
Never change, Amazon.ca, never fucking change.
(to be clear: I knew this would happen when I placed the pre-order, I don't need to play this game immediately. It's more like, goddamn Amazon, how are you so awful at this and apparently getting worse every year?)

Great, that's what I hoped for. Thanks for the confirmation!
Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you. Same thing happened to me awhile back when they had that %15 off pre-orders deal. I eventually got my game 2 weeks later. Hopefully it's quicker this time.
I regretted not pre-ordering more games from them, but if this is the norm, it's pretty ridiculous. EB is the only place where I've pretty much gotten all my pre-orders on time. Too bad they suck now for most other things.
Mine is still 59.49. If you are worrying if they won't change it, you always contact them.

I'm not ready to say it's the norm, as Amazon.ca has ALWAYS had problems getting Atelier games in anywhere near the release date. The last THREE times I've pre-ordered an Atelier game from them, I ended up cancelling before they shipped because I decided to get the game in-store somewhere instead. Another time I had Hometown Story on pre-order, and cancelled several days after the release date after seeing the dismal reviews. But all of these are fairly niche titles from niche publishers, which may or may not be reflective of, say, The Order 1886 or Halo Master Chief Collection.
That said, it does still feel like Amazon.ca's steadily getting worse. I'll settle for cheap and "actually delivers to my mailbox unlike Best Buy and Future Shop, those assholes," though.
This E3 is the first time I've pre-ordered anything from Amazon. They're usually good with everything else though. I guess I can't really complain, since the estimated time of delivery was always for July. We'll see how it goes with the other games.
I really wish they had this deal in-store as well. I've only pre-ordered 3 games online previously. All from BB, and not once did I receive them on release day.
Welcome back old Junior GAF. Also, why the fuck didn`t I realize that GamesDealCanada had a twitter accountÉ Gonna remedy that right now.

Mine was just updated to $54.99. Interesting enough, though, that $5 was actually added to the "promotion applied" so they may as well have just taken off $10.
sweetvar26
Member
Yeah for those whose price was $55, how do we know if the full 30% has been applied?
I think you have no other choice but to manually compute it. I only have 3 games ordered on my 33% promotion. So it's a lot easier on my part.
edit: OR subtotal * 30% to see if you will get the full discount.

Mentioned in the other thread, but Staples has on clearance a 500GB Clickfree external HDD for $30 after the added 25% off discount!
Self powered or USB?
Hero of Legend
Member
Comes with a USB cable, it's a Portable HDD so maybe self-powered?
Some alternatives:
a) Get a Y-cable that can connect the HDD to two USB ports
b) Get a self-powered USB hub (Note: You would have to disconnect your HDD or turn off the hub if you want to shut off the HDD with this option)
sweetvar26

Yeah got tons of games on mine and I can't add 30% to the subtotal because some of the games have discount given already in the price.
Amazon, :LOL
I'm also interested in a good 500gb or less self powered hard drive. Any recommendations? Everything seems USB powered and I'm annoyed.
Why not get a HDD and powered enclosure separately then? Might save some money that way too.
I pre-ordered from Bestbuy. Hasn't shipped from there either.

Subete no aware
I'm assuming late shipments for Aksys games as usual.
Yeah, same thing happened to me for Hakuoki. Not sure why tho. I was at EB earlier and they still had a few copies of Xblaze.
