Haven't really done this before. Do I just download the firmware flash from them, and updated the firmware by pointing the router to the file? Do I need to make any changes after the flash?

Find the exact version of your router here, and you'll have specific instructions for your router. It's pretty straightforward. In short, yes, you just install the firmware from your router's interface. Some router models might need a few extra steps, but nothing major. If you follow the instruction and really make sure you have the right files and instructions for your router model, it will go smoothly.
Probably because they're harder to find than new ones. I can usually track down older games, but I'm finding this particular one pretty difficult.
Awesome. Thanks for the help. I'll give this a whirl tonight.

I've been looking for it as well and the only option I found lately was used at EB or importing from the US!
Still not decided what I'm gonna do.

Just wanted to thank you fellow Canadians for helping me get some incredible deals! I'd be in debt if it weren't for all the money I'm saving because of the E3 deals.
Still waiting for Amazon.ca to ship my copy of Atelier Rorona Plus
It's been marked as prepairing to ship since monday and they've charged my credit card too. I understand that it couldn't ship yesterday since that was a holiday and all but I don't know why it's taking them so long today to get it out the door.

Hey, that's not here or there
sorry, really tried hard to like it tho. Badly written cases, characters are full of shit, tedious nonsense gameplay. Can I have props for beating it at least? >_> Got nothing on either Ace Attorney or Zero Escape.
Chrom's already got you covered. I hope you like it so you can follow Totori, Meruru and then the Dusk series with Ayesha and Escha & Logy.

Because Amazon Prime.
I'm in the same situation with that game. That's how it is for the majority of my orders with Amazon since Prime was introduced in Canada.
Amazon prior to Prime was good service (on par with any other online retailer). But then they introduced Prime. How do they make it better than the service they had previously? They couldn't. So the answer they chose was to make the Free Shipping option artificially take way longer than it should.
It's because Prime members get priority over you in packing your order. It doesn't matter if someone with Prime ordered later, they get to cut in front of you in line. And Amazon won't get to you until all the Prime orders are dealt with first.
Too bad Zellers is gone or else people wouldn't have a problem finding those games at full price.
EB PS4 deal: PS4 + Watch Dogs + 3-months of PS+ for $450

But it's also like somehow all the Amazon warehouse workers, when they move from the Prime packing shift to the non-Prime packing shift, also get handcuffed behind their back and have to pack all the orders using only their teeth. It's the only explanation for why there's a multiple-day lag.
EB PS4 deal: PS4 + Watch Dogs + PS+ (I can't tell if it's 3 or 12 months) for $450
That's 3 months of PS+.
Makes sense. I shouldn't have expected it to be 12-months. I edited my previous post. Thanks.
Yeah, I called the stores in my area, including all the EB's and they don't have it. I'll keep an eye out for you, and if I find an extra copy, I'll let you know.

Yep, mad props for completing it and your willingness to try the second one too. I could never finish a game I didn't like. Too many games I haven't played to do that.
That reminds me, I should really start the Ace Attorney and Zero Escape games along with Atelier. I tried 999 once, but stopped after
I found out I had to play the game a bunch of times to get multiple endings for the best experience.
I only started ordering from Amazon last year when Prime was already introduced.
Like I said earlier, I have prime, and this was my first pre-order from them. Getting the game a week late sucks, but if you guys without Prime haven't even had your games shipped yet, then that is ridiculous. I usually prefer Amazon to sites like BB and FS, because in my experience, they have superior customer service.

Has anyone who went to the Smashfest at Bestbuy actually received their coin yet? The website said they would be shipped the following Monday, while others said it would be shipped in 2 weeks, yet over 3 weeks later and I've heard nothing of it.
Tell me about it, slowing stuff down just to sell Prime is really pissing me off. What is the point of paying for two day shipping when stuff always used to get to me at that speed for free?
Once an item ships I usually get it the next business day anyhow, all they are doing now is holding my stuff hostage to make it take longer.

Amazon can occasionally be slow to ship stuff out even with Prime (which I've had for about a year now).
I haven't really ordered games from them before, at least not on launch. Guess we'll see how all the E3 preorder stuff works out.
Movies are good, though. The last couple I ordered (Lego Movie, Frozen) all came the night before actual release.
Future Shop and Best Buy are a similar crapshoot, although I have found I get games sooner here in Edmonton than I did when I was living in Victoria (which makes less sense given they're still coming out of Vancouver most of the time).
edit - I will probably pay for Prime again simply because I can order dumb shit far under the minimum for free shipping and have it in one or two days. 99 cent items eligible for Prime are the best.

I was just checking Superufo and saw WiiU pro controller for $22 and I started making an order to find the shipping is $23
If you buy two of them the shipping will be $28 and it adds $5 for each additional one but I need only one, oh well!

Maybe ask sony? That would be my first choice for getting it repaired.
Call them..
yeah I read they charge 50$ just to diagnose the thing.Not very consumer friendly.

I have no idea about the "best" place but I'm pretty sure there is a little repair shop on maisonneuve just east of Concordia that advertises console repair along with the usual PC / iPad stuff. No idea if they actually know what they are doing though. (There's a shop I see every morning with a picture of a passport with a baby on it, but they don't actually have the equipment to take baby photos. The basic lesson is, you have to go in and ask.)
Is it under warranty? should be free then.
I just recently started playing Pokemon and my girlfriend is interested. Any deals on a Nintendo 2DS anywhere? It's $130 everywhere I look. There are a few ads for $100-110 on kijiji, but then I have to drive all over the damn place. I'd rather just walk in or order online.
Also, did everyone decide to buy Pokemon Y instead of X? I see literally dozens of copies of Y for sale, but only a single X. Trying to get X, although I don't even know the difference. X just sounds cool.
Edit: Amazon has them on sale for $99. But lists 2-4 week shipping time. Why even bother listing it on the site.

If there's a Target or a Staples nearby and you don't live in, say, Toronto or surrounding suburbs, try those stores. Both have been clearing out video game stuff lately, including 2DS/3DS consoles.

Unless you have Prime then you get guaranteed delivery
Edit: I have prime btw, if you need something let me know and I can share the benefit
Not a 2DS, but I have a brand new red 3DS XL I can sell you for cheap, if you're interested. Otherwise, yeah, check your local Target and Staples. They were going for $69 at Target the last time I was there.

You pay tax when you order. This is how my order looked like:
SUBTOTAL: $68.30
SHIPPING COST: $18.00
SALES TAX: $11.22
STORE CREDIT USED
$0.00)TOTAL BEFORE COUPON:$97.52
There shouldn't be any more charges on top of that as I understand it.
