Yes. I'll post a picture when i figure how.
(To be clear it doesn't say 25% off, but the labels are 37,5 instead of 50$ and 15 instead of 20$)
The eShop cards were clearly marked as 25% off in store at the Target I went to in Calgary. It may be an error, but they're displaying the price you'll pay.
Anyone can help me buy one? I'll pay through paypal though. $50 PSN and eshop.
Ah my bad lol

PS+ cards are 25% off (advertised), is that where their error comes from?

Does anyone know how to do a price match request online at Best Buy? I am filling out the form for the Price Match Request, but in the link area where I put the link to Walmart's weekly flyer, it shows an error and tells me to put the link to the retailer's listing/flyer.

Anyone have their Destiny Ghost Edition charged yet? I am hearing that some EB Games oversold on pre-orders in store and have been getting staff to cancel their own orders to fulfill.
I ordered in store and am worried.
I ordered in store and am worried.
I was under the belief that Best Buy charges preorders individually... yet today I get an email from Paypal saying that I am charged $400 for my E3 order (Destiny was my first game to ship which is probably what caused the email). Am I actually going to get charged for the full $400 or just $50.
I literally just transferred a bunch of money into student loans and don't have enough money for $400 worth of stuff. Don't want to fuck up my PayPal by it getting declined.
Could someone with pre-order experience at Best Buy give me some advice?

It's not a Best Buy thing, it's a Paypal thing. Well, I guess it is a best Buy thing, but for some reason that's how their ghetto implementation of Paypal works. You might have to contact customer service, there's nothing any of us can do.

Has anyone seen White Dualshock 4s out in the wild yet?
I want one but I'm a very impatient man.

I do remember quite of people complaining the same thing. Maybe try reading the email again. Maybe you misunderstand it.
edit: Found it. Did you happen to have the same email? If yes, read the email carefully.
I am assuming BB is preparing to ship my Akiba's Trip copy, but why the hell did they submit the whole amount of my order?
I legit thought my Paypal account got hack, but went to check and it was the total amount of my E3 order. Shouldn't they only charge me only for Akiba Trip?
Saw them at Walmart in West Edmonton

Hmmmm interesting. I'm in Toronto but I might go down the the Futureshop near here and see if they have them out. I doubt something like that is street-dated very harshly.
Unsurprisingly, Amazon's being a bunch of dicks with my Destiny preorder. Despite ordering on June 10th and receiving an email on July 11th advising it had been upgraded to Release Date shipping, my My Order section still says September 15th-16th.
I contacted chat support, they advised:
- I would be getting it on the 15th-16th. (Even with 1-2 day priority shipping(!))
- It's not eligible for release date shipping because the product page doesn't say it. (Despite receiving an email from them more than two months ago advising it was eligible)
- I lost release date shipping because I changed the shipping (I changed it to Priority on June 11th - one day after ordering, and a month prior to receiving the message advising it would be release date shipping).
- "I have several games in the order that aren't out yet". (I have no idea what this means).
- "We usually try and ship games out as soon as possible". (Despite them sitting on Diablo for a week before shipping it)
Phone support put me on hold for ten minutes, then came back and said that they had no idea what was going on and had to ask a supervisor.
This is mind-boggling - Blazblue, Hyperdimension Neptunia, and Danganronpa 2 all arrived release date, but Diablo 3 was a week late and Destiny looks to be the same. Why do I get niche games right away and the big releases take forever?
So much hassle. I don't believe I'll be ordering from them next E3.

I went looking through my emails after I received the same notification because I ordered through BestBuy for the $22 Layton vs. Wright deal, and I was only charged for that item when it shipped despite a similar e-mail showing up when I made the order. I hope it's the same this time, because I don't really want to pay for $700 of video games at once, especially ones I'm still unsure about.
Yeah, that's the same thing. Did I totally read it wrong? Did the guy end up only getting charged for the one game (versus the whole order)?

Just do the ol' buy and return trick. Easy peasy.
Yeah, you read it wrong. They only charge you with one game and they were just notifying you about the other games you pre-ordered.
Yes, he/she only got charged for one game.
Phew, thanks.
My heart legit stopped a beat reading that email whilst half-asleep this morning.

Best Buy/Future Shop normally charge me on the Friday before release, so I'm not getting my hopes on it getting shipped tonight.
FutureShop sent me an email saying they can't process my PayPal order --- again. It's not a problem with my PayPal since every other order has worked.
And my stupid fucking bank (TD) refuses to send me a new credit card even though I told them that it expires soon and it's preventing me from pre-ordering games because FutureShop declines any cards that expire before the games release.
And FutureShop keeps giving me a red error now to "try again later" after trying to change my payment method to a credit card.
This was a problem for me as well with TD. What you could do is change the expiry date on the card to something 3 years or so in the future.
Best Buy is giving me the same problem with the error when I try to look at the order online so your best bet is to go call them and get the info changed.

Contact them via costumer chat. My Dangaronpa 2 was supposed to arrive on september 17th (!), but I contacted them and the game is now in my hands. In fact, I think I'll start it right now!
Last night, but the links would just give an error message.
Mine too! I haven't opened it yet, but I'm pretty disappointed with the cheap cardboard they used. :/

I think Target isn't giving a fuck about the error:
Xbox cash cards are only 10% off though.
I picked up 3 of each.

Just bought another $100 worth of PSN credit from Target! Even the associate told me that it looks like a price error but who cares lol

I can confirm that my EB did not get enough allocation for all Destiny Ghost Edition preorders. Luckily I wasn't one of them.

There's a big sale going on it seems. But for full price stuff, I might pick up Gunvolt and Senran.

Damn. I want some more. Maybe I will head out tomorrow morning.
Oh yeah, forgot about Senran. Now's a good time to pick it up with the new one coming soon. Gunvolt looks cool too. I think I need to pick up some more eshop cards. lol

Just a quick heads up, Playstation Canada has some sort of social media contest coming up open to Canadians. I'll have more details by Tuesday and will probably make a thread which ill link here.
Playstation Canada is aware of this thread and eager to hear back from Canadian fans. I've already mentioned the 50 dollar price increase blows.
As a Canadian myself I pointed out this specific thread to them and asked to be kept in the loop on anything Canadian related that I can pass on.

Hi Sony!
Thanks! I just contacted and they told me that with free shipping it's expected it would be in transit longer, before I pointed out that the issue is that still hadn't shipped. Now got priority shipping so it should arrive in time for Destiny. Gah. First world problems.Contact them via costumer chat.

So does the digital price hike! We can easily get games cheaper through Amazon.
Excellent can't wait to see what they got up their sleeves.
Yeah the price increase kinda stinks, thank goodness for e3 sales.
