Thank you based jake.

you will be very disappointed with this one
Umm OK? I've been following the game for quite awhile so I know exactly what I'm getting into. Sadly, I don't expect anything from Yukes these days so I'm pretty just buying it because my friends and I still enjoy them together.
 
What the fuck. So many people getting games early in the mail. How do retailers selling the same item online justify having street dates in store. So stupid.

Shipping companies are probably in full Christmas mode now so there will be more workers to handle the increased load. I remember someone said they received something on Sunday, which rarely happens.

What exactly are you referencing here? Any info on how to get an extra $50 back on my X1 Sunset Bundle would be nice. I ordered from MS though and got the Destiny + Gift card bundle. I suppose I'd be a jerk to ask for more...

Is anyone going to be doing the Toys R Us buy 2 get 15% off games deal tomorrow? I don't really know if I feel that it's worth it with black Friday so close..

Received my dlc code for lbp 3 but still no shipping or billing from future shit!!!
Same for me here. Order page says I've been charged but I'm fairly confident they're going to spend the entirety of the next day fumbling around with my game right next door before finally getting it to me Wednesday.

So fun playing games a day early, my inbox goes nuts on ps4. Got LBP3 tonight, fun game! This is the 3rd game I've got early - watch dogs, AC: Unity and this one. Kudos best buy shipping.

Got my code for lbp3 from future shop and doesn't seem to work when I redeem it in the app, anyone else having issues?
My pre order code didn't work either, bummer. It says on the sheet it is active as of 11/11, but couldn't get it to work.
 
So Guys is GMG the cheapest place to get Unity and inquisition?

Yep. As part of the VIP thing on GMG you can get AC Unity and Far Cry 4 for around $50 CAD, and I think DA:I for around $56-57 somewhere around there I guess. GMG's been REALLY good to me for the past 2 years, especially now since the prices can sometimes be significantly cheaper. Got BF4 for $50 bucks on release last year. Got Civ 5 BNW for I think $20 at its time of release. Got Civ BE and Sniper Elite 3 for $40 on release.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???

Going to try again tomorrow and if that fails email support. Frustrating but glad to know I'm not alone. :) hope it works for us.

Looked at a bunch of flyers for next week, and looks like amiibo will be $14 everywhere.

TRU is going to have some sort of moonlight madness sale where the Mario 3D World Wii U bundle is going to be $250.
 
Wait a minute, did Best Buy just cancelled my order for FC4 Kyrat Edition? I remember getting it at E3. It says 'Shipment Cancelled'.

Did anyone else order around the same time?

Fuck! I was actually looking forward to it!

BB sent an email to everyone who ordered that a while back that it was a mistake and the order would be cancelled.

Yeah, I just noticed the same thing. And no, I did NOT get any cancellation email. I thought they'd just downgrade it to the regular edition once they twigged on, not cancel the entire friggin' order.

Anyone else use Paypal during E3 to preorder with BestBuy? They just tried to charge me for a game (assuming it's Smash) and it was unable to process.

The other games in the order before this was charged fine though...

Another big release = another BB or PayPal bug?
Got "Unable to Process your BESTBUY.ca Order" email for my Smash Wii U

Well that's dumb, looks like it's a Paypal problem then?

The funny thing is there's no way to change/edit PayPal info in BB order details

Is that true? I didn't get any such email and my order never showed up as cancelled prior to recently. In fact, the last time I got an order alert was on August and it mentioned no such thing as cancellation.

Yeah, I expected the same. I'm going to call tomorrow and see what's up.

Didn't they say that was a mistake right after? I thought it was officially canceled later.

Not sure about that. I only got that one email from them. It included a code to get 30% off the regular edition.

Just to clarify, when I say they cancelled the order, I mean just Far Cry 4 Kyrat Edition, not the rest of the games that were in the order.

Here's the email I got on July 7:

Yeah I got that email as well but I remember either receiving another email or reading people say it was "fake"(according to the email).

My LBP3 from Bestbuy didn't ship and I'm actually not mad. I have GTAV on the way plus I just bought a Wii U so it can take as long as it wants....
but not too long.
