That shit sold out in Toronto so fast. Didn't even get a chance to grab them

It looks like there's a waiting list. I'm not sure if I'm going to make the trip into town just to watch a press conference (lol), so there might be at least one seat available!

 

[i-Jest]

Anyone going to go to one of the theatres Sony is showing their E3 press conference? Wouldn't mind getting together with a few gaf users. They imply they'll be giving away some stuff.

I'm on a waiting list (*-__-)

 

[ohlawd]

30 minute drive for the one in Vancouver.

nah, man.

Been waiting all afternoon for Watch Dogs to be delivered........it's been in the mailbox and the tracking never updated

Mine was delivered at around 11:30, and the tracking info says it's still at the delivery facility.

I feel embarrassed that this exists

Aww, was wondering if I should've grabbed two (it gave a choice of 0, 1, and 2) for anyone else, but I assumed the tickets wouldn't disappear so quickly.

 

[Mupod]

This happened to me with Super Mario 3D World, though it was because I updated my CC expiration date and it 'didn't go through' or w/e.

I had to cancel, order, pay full price, and I got a $20 credit/refund 3-4 days later.

oh so it might not be be reflected until after I'm charged? The guy seemed 100% sure that he had applied my credit correctly.

I guess I can just leave it alone and return the game if they don't. I still think it's worth the money with the free Pikmin 3, but if not for the FS discount I'd just get it off the eshop.

not worth calling them again because I'm on a prepaid phone right now. Which I need to get rid of...had IP phones at home before and only used this phone for emergencies.

I'm glad I signed up immediately then, but oh god I wasn't expecting it to sell out that fast.

 

[khaaan]

Damn, Toronto is sold out. Guess it just saves me a trip, I'll just watch from home.

I'd rather watch it at home and browse GAF at the same time if it's still up.

 

[BigJonsson]

Is it in the VIP theatre?

 

[crimzonflame]

Toronto is Sony country.

only reason I might be tempted to go is for the StreetPassing

 

[firehawk12]

What if everyone who goes gets a free PS4?!

What about Near?

I'd totally go then.

What about Near?

The hell is that?

I bought something directly from Amazon.ca, not a seller on the site. I want to return it. Am I going to have to get a return shipping label or can I just pay a return shipping fee via Canada Post?

If it's their fault, they will pay for shipping.
(It's up to you if you feel comfortable saying the product was damaged in shipping or making up some other similar excuse).

Otherwise, I think they can print out a label but take the shipping cost out of your refund or you can pay to ship it yourself at your own cost.

 

[khaaan]

The hell is that?

Street pass or something of the like on the Vita. I haven't even bothered launching the app.

I think he was making a joke about how nobody uses near lol

 

[dream]

Ended up getting a delivery notice for my copy of Watch Dogs, which Best Buy shipped out from one province over last Friday, with a pickup date of tomorrow. Now i don't particularly care about playing Watch Dogs, but come on...

I did the same thing with Dark Souls 2. Had to re-order to switch from PC to PS3. I worked it all out over e-mail with them. The online order information was never updated. I was charged full MSRP when the game shipped, but my $22.60 discount showed up on my credit card statement 2 days later.

 

[ohlawd]

lol I was serious. I own a Vita and didn't know Near was a thing. Was this mentioned in the "getting started" crap with Welcome Park?

 

[UberTag]

I messed around with Near for a couple weeks after launch (mainly for Uncharted Golden Abyss artifacts) but I doubt if any current games actually use it still.

Well fuck you Sony, why y no put Calgary on the list?

 

[DaBoss]

I thought it was like Internet StreetPass or something. It finds people that live close to you or something.

 

[jholmes]

Apparently Calgary can't compete with the likes of Boise, Idaho.

 

[Tsundere]

No available people to staff.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

There was a Pokemon X/Y launch event in Vancouver which was just people standing in line to enter a room to sit at tables and trade/battle. I just StreetPassed the whole time and left when I stopped getting any.

30 minute drive for the one in Vancouver.

nah, man.

Tinseltown is right near a Skytrain.

 

[vulva]

I was debating going to the yonge & dundas one in case free things were given out but then realized I'd be happier on the gaf irc enjoying the madness.

 

[ohlawd]

Tinseltown is right near a Skytrain.

I'm not spending two hours of my day just for the roundtrip
Not to mention that Sony's conferences are filled to hell and back with filler.

I'll chill at home, order pizza or something.

 

[MrBambinoDent]

Yeah I guess -_-

They have Sony stores here, throw in some security officers and that's it, it's not like there will be a live performance lol

Apparently people impacted by Lenovo's laptop debacle aren't getting sent coupons at all.

Instead people are expected to call up Lenovo and place an order for a computer over the phone (where their sales reps can upsell you on accessories and service agreements) and if you mention the laptop pricing issue they'll give you $100 off the price EVEN if you weren't impacted by what took place and placed an order.

So this is more of a general customer remedy instead of something specific for people who were affected by the price error.

On the bright side, I did get my debited funds back into my bank account today.
And if anyone still wants the Y410p they can pick one up for $699 with the $100 discount whether they took a gamble on the price error or not.

 

[vinnygambini]

Anyone got an extra ticket for Montreal GAF Bank Scotia?

Sold out I want to go

You have to order by phone though, is that what you're saying?

My sentiments exactly.

Pretty much. You won't be given a personalized $100 rebate code to use online.

Yep.

I mean, I don't even think I would consider it if it was even more than just the Sony conference. I mean.. why?

 

[akGCO47]

Toronto one sold out??!! I didn't even have a chance..

Cool thanks!
I'm seriously considering the Y410 but I'm not sure if it's a good purchase, never bought anything Lenovo before!

Reserved my ticket for the Montreal Cineplex, but I'm not 100% sure I'll go. On one hand, it'll definitely be a unique and interesting experience, and I don't know if I'd want to miss out on whatever special thing they'll be giving out to attendees. On the other hand, it's about 50 minutes from my place and there's no doubt I'd be more comfortable watching it at home than in a somewhat stuffy theater.

 

[chrominance]

I didn't even think about going to the Sony E3 theatre thing even though I live five minutes away, the experience of watching on GAF is so superior. The only reason I regret it now is because of the free giveaways. Ooops.

On the other hand, I already have my share of useless-but-decent giveaways from Sony. Who wants an Uncharted double pack and an Uncharted 3 Nathan Drake figure?*

*note: not actually a giveaway (sorry!)

 

[sikkinixx]

I'm really on the fence about getting KZ:SF from Bestbuy. $20 isn't bad, but I have this suspicion it will be free on PS+ after E3

 

[sweetvar26]

I placed for two. Me and my buddy and if for any reason he bails out, I will let you know.

You sure they are going to give out something there?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Yeah. It might not be something significant at all, but there will be something:

Geoff Keighley:

@geoffkeighley

There will be a special 30 minute post-show for PlayStation fans exclusively in theaters, plus some very cool take-home surprises..

PlayStation Blog:

And hey, if you show up, we might even cough up a few surprise gifts.

 

[Pestilence11]

It will go down to $20 again eventually even if it doesn't end up on PS+ after E3. I'd wait.

What is Uncharted Double Pack?

Uncharted 1 + 2 in a single case.

God damn the Toronto one is sold out? Me and all my friends are going in a group of six and I got us all tickets like as soon as it went up, so I guess we got lucky there.
