The Canadian dollar is scaring me away from returning to E3 this year. I don't want to lose a ton of money on an already expensive trip.

How's your experience been at them?
Last year's was my first, and it was a great experience. Very, very overwhelming at first, but once I got used to all of the walking and having to rush from appointment to appointment, I started to enjoy it more.
The first day was very stressful.
Staying in North Hollywood and being able to walk around the city was great, too. I'd love to go again, but I don't want to lose hundreds of dollars.
Huh, apparently PS Plus 12 months is going for the same price.

I have a preorder for a new Majora's Mask 3DSXL that I won't need.
Rather than just cancelling it, I'd like to give someone who missed out the opportunity to purchase. I'll sell it for face value + shipping and handling.
Please PM me if you're interested.
Edit: Aaaaaaand it's gone.

I would be down for this.....
*Edit*
Whoops I just re-read your post. I thought it was for the skull kid edition. I am still looking for one of those.
Mat, I am in the Toronto area but I might be able to help you out. Fuzzy has first dibs but, think he was able to get one himself.

I have one extra 3DSXL as I pre-ordered first on Amazon.ca (for availability) then on EBGames.ca (for in-store pickup).
Same thing as above. I'd prefer someone in the Montreal region rather than shipping but hey, let's see what we can do "aboot" it.
Please PM me if you're interested.

Oh? I'd love that. Feel free to message me once you know what Fuzzy's doing.
Thanks very much.

Out of curiosity, does Amazon allow you to change shipping addresses of preorders after placing the order? Wouldn't that be the best way to go about giving your preorder away? Let Amazon deal with the shipping to somebody who you're willing to give it away to after they've paid you for it, while you pick up your in-store preorder?
Not that you asked me, but I found E3 terribly boring. Hoping this year I find something if interestHow's your experience been at them?

Well then, I can't say I'm not disappointed I missed out. If anyone picked up an extra and wants to sell it for a little over market- shoot me a pm.

Any Wii U Pro controller deals?

0 info. And now apparently an eb in SK started selling Wave 3 so it will be interesting to see when stores begin selling anything they get.
Target in my area (Cloverdale Mall, Toronto), said they probably weren't getting any, since they didn't see any in their last (planned) shipment

Liquidation companies making their move early Feb according to team leads at Target
I'd wait for official word from Nintendo. This is something they would shed light on themselves.

I'm being told only Shulk that day=/
The girl at my store listed pretty much all of Wave 3 for 1/30. I don't have work anyways so eh I'll go.

You don't get to bring friends.
Oh boy...

Ah thanks for the Intel. Any word on Ike?
Supposedly also coming out on Friday but who really knows...I don't trust them 100% after someone at that store said someone preordered 20 Shulks (which the manager confirmed didn't happen).

I'm going to USA this weekend for liquor and black jack so if we end up doing any shopping I'll be amiibo hunting.

Same. I was hoping for it to get here tomorrow, because my exams end tomorrow, and I would have 4 days to get used to GC controls.

To everyone still working at Target, are you able to confirm that there is no Rosalina coming?
It's from reddit. I don't know what to think anymore...

That is when they will sell her in the US.
All I can say is that on Feb. 16th, the day after the closure announcement, a Nintendo rep came into my store to take back the Wii U display, and the Amiibo display, and told me that due to everything, no further Amiibo or Rosalina would be sent.
Unlike regular product, Amiibos are shipped from Nintendo through a courier service, and don't arrive via warehouse trucks.
sorry. Was reading the ebgames 1/30 wave 3 discussion and thought that if Rosalina was really coming, we'd get her on the 30th from Target too.

Yep wave 3 Friday. I have my Ike and King Dedede ordered from Amazon.ca and my Shulk ordered from EBGames.ca, so I better receive them!
Checked my Amazon orders. Delivery estimates for Sonic and Dedede are February 27th. Megaman and Ike don't even have estimates. I might just go out and hunt for them on Friday if I have time. If not then I'll just wait it out and pray my orders won't be canceled.

First Square Enix sale, then Atlus sale, now this. I have renewed hope there will be a Capcom sale soon and Power Stone Collection will be apart of that.
I used gameaccess for a bit. It was $20/month for one game out. For signing a one year contract, I also got the ability to reserve a game and the ability to have a new game shipped before returning the game I had out at the time. You can also get those two features for about $5/month if you don't want to sign a contract. Shipping time to Ontario was about 3 days, but I hear it's worse further West. Their shipping centre is located in Montreal, iirc. Great service though. I was especially impressed by their customer service.

Damn that sucks. Did you pre-order them later or something then? 'Cause my order estimates for both Dedede and Ike are February 6.
