Damn it Canuck GAF ;__: Did you guys make separate orders for each or just did it all in one batch? Should I order off American Amazon. Heard they're $1 cheaper?

But UPS ugh.
Haven't ordered yet. Gonna pick out a couple with my 4 year old and wife after we get the 3 ds game
 
Went the gamestop to preorder Destiny bundle preorders stopped between lastnight and today :(

I had giftcards from my wedding for the mall the gamestop is in so this is a huge bummer hopefully they have spare consoles on Tuesday, the lady was extremely helpful though.

My e3 deal danganrompa 2 arrived from amazon today! Totally forgot I bought this, what a great surprise.
 
YO GUYS!

15$ gift card at Target if you buy NHL 15 WITH 4 boxes of Kraft Dinner... Weirdest deal I have ever seen! Great for students I guess?

Bummer!! I wanted to cancel my BB online order and grab it in-store from EB and couldn't make the trip today!
 
Anyone familiar with MICRO to MINI sim card adapters? And where to buy them?

All I can find are micro to full adapters...

According to Wikipedia, a mini-SIM is the SIM used in older smartphones. The original SIM is the size of a credit card.

So a micro to full adapter should be all you need if you have a slot for a regular-sized SIM card.

Lucky (well unless you pay for Prime)!
Mine is still "Preparing for Shipment" with estimated delivery of next Wednesday -_-

No I never pay for prime. Just the free shipping.

I had ordered some books (Lucifer comics!) the other day and one was in stock and ready to be shipped. That book and this game were scheduled for today I guess. Today that one book and the danganrompa 2 came and were in the same envelope. Really thought they would come separate since they were orders placed months apart. Cool either way.
 
So I called my EB and they are still taking preorders for Destiny PS4 bundle but I'm stuck at work and won't be out before closing -_-
Hope they will still have some left tomorrow morning!

Well all 12 Amiibos pre-ordered.

I did them all in one batch with Free Shipping. I'm assuming, if a few are delayed, that Amazon.ca will ship out the ones that becomes available?

They should, yeah. Whenever I buy things with separate release dates they always have shipped what comes in as soon as they can. Even happens when I don't select the option to split up the order (which costs money)
 
Had to resist the crazy Amiibo urge... Still went for Peach, Fox, Samus and Link...

Edit:

Haha, if you misspell Amibo instead of Amiibo, you end up on a page full of erotic weird novels...

Thanks, sounds good.

These Amiibo, they will be the death of us all. O_O
 
If anyone is interested in the Limited Editions of Destiny, they are available once again on FutureShop.ca. 20 copies for each console! Just grabbed an Xbox One edition. Figured I'd let my fellow Canadians know before telling the Destiny OT. Payed the crazy 10 dollar shipping, will it show up on time?

Edit: Also wanted to super thank you all for internet suggestions. Went with Cogeco and then departed to the states for half a week so I haven't been around to thank you all.

Potentially dangerous to me. Especially since they actually have a real in-game use. Considering picking up the Marth one since that's the only one I actually want that's up. I'm interested in possibly a Zelda and Lucina one though.

I want that Samus right now. And the FE ones. Yes
I strongly encourage both.

But why stop there!?

Yeah, the collectible aspect alone makes me want them. The fact that you can get actual use of them in-game too?

It's super-effective!
To my wallet; ;_;

Is there a quick summary of why I should care about amiibos? I saw the bit about the figurines storing your Smash Bros. fighter data, for example, but I'm unclear as to how it will work in other games. Does it store driver data in Mario Kart 8, for example? Doesn't the game already do this? Does it matter what figurine(s) I get? Is it only for moving data between systems so you can play with friends? etc., etc.

We really, truly don't know how they'll work, but they will save data on the figure, so yes, you can take them from one place to another.

Pre-ordered the set.

I thought it was crazy, but I just went and foolishly blew $200 at a casino over the weekend, so now I've decided any time I get that crazy urge I will blow it on tangible goods.

Yup, my Danganronpa 2 is still "preparing for shipment"... I knew that free shipping would get me slower... well... shipping, but I didn't expect them to sit on the package for several days "just because". I guess talking to costumer support doesn't change anything?

No harm in trying, give em a call and ask them to ship it for you if you have the time to kill.

Hilarious. They really (think they) know the demographic.

The demographic is all of Canada. ;)

Seriously Target, get the fuck out of Canada please.

What the what?

Bring back Zellers please.

Really? Target's been really good for our family -- we've pillaged their clearance section for Christmas 2013, kids' birthdays and clothes 2014 (let alone the stupid videogame deals a few pages back). I don't think their day-to-day offering is crazy different from the competition, but they approach clearance the same way they do in the U.S., and that makes me a fan.

I don't miss Zellers and their shelves full of ancient merchandise at full price.

I felt really stupid pre-ordering the Wii Fit Trainer. I had 10 in the cart already, so I said fuck it. I'll decide which ones I really want later.

The only clearance I've seen at my store is the video game stuff, and RFD basically nukes the stores the day those things happen.

Maybe those American fools thought since Canadians eat Kraft Dinner instead of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, that Kraft Dinner + hockey makes this a deal that will specifically appeal to Canadians, lol.

Talked to them in the support chat. I was told there was an "error", and I've been upgraded to expedited shipping for free. Yay! (Hope I won't have to do that for every single game I've pre-ordered there!)

Well, Canadians do purchase a whack load of KD...

I have yet to try it.

You're not missing a whole lot. I have a hard time eating the regular KD, it's pretty bland. White cheddar or sharp cheddar aren't bad, though. They're comparable with the Annie's ones at least, but there's only so much you can get out of boxed mac and cheese.
