Just checked my Master Card. Payment from EB Games is pending. WTH? Are they just trying to give me high blood pressure?

I got the Payment Failure notification as well, and I'm starting to freak out a little.
It doesn't help that I recently asked to replace my card and just found out that means technically my card is temporarily suspended until I get it updated even though I've been using it normally. ARGH.

alright
just got off the phone with a rep who told me that my order has already been confirmed and already charged and will be put on the shipping queue shortly.
she said that they were having issues with their payment system in general which is why the emails were sent out but for the most part my order had no issues.
it was also a very abrupt removal from hold lol
her: hello! how may i help you?
me (shocked that someone picked up): hey
her: ....hey?
me: ... uhyeahigotanorderineedhelp
yep.
the game looks fun. I'd get that and Fossil Fighters too but I'm stretched out thin already in March with double dipping on Atelier Shallie and Codename Steam
This better not be a security problem. Some fat scalper dude better have hacked the site to get those shulk amiibo orders. (Letting my imagination run wild.)

Now I'm frustrated that I haven't received any emails at all.
Maybe they shutdown their emailing system at some point.
Mine still say "presell" and that's it.

Just finished talking to the CS at ebgames.
FALSE ALARM!
They're having problems with their system today that they're fixing right now.

Do your items still say presell on the order page?

Still says presell.

Hmm.
So maybe mine is preparing. I should check my credit card. I wouldn't be shocked if they shutdown the mail system at some point if it was sending out false information.

Yep, got the payment failue notification here too. I'm getting really worried now. I better get my effing Shulk!

Here it's the wait to see if EBGames will call to tell me that I can come get my online in-store pickup for Shulk tomorrow. I have doubts...
Might be old news but ebgames.ca has Watch Dogs Wii U down to $30 new (sold out online but most stores have some stock)
Is there any difference with the Mario Amibo that comes with Mario Party 10 from the Smash Bros one other that the pose? Can the Amiibo from Smash Bros be used in Mario Party without wiping the Smash Bros data?

no, and no.
also, that bundle is technically a dollar more than buying game/amiibo separately. not a big deal, but kind of hilarious
Can you explain in more detail what their response was on the call ? The lines has been continuously busy for the last 90 mins since I received the notification.. I'm glad it's not just me. I need my Shulk !
Thanks... went ahead an pre-ordered. I can always cancel or return if I don't need the Amiibo.
On a side note, I'm a bit annoyed that Amiibo functionality seems to be restricted to only one game at a time. My son has close to 100 Skylanders figures, but at least he doesn't need to buy duplicates to use them in different games.

It is a truly stupid decision. It's a hilarious miracle that it can't even be called the dumbest decision they've made regarding amiibos, because you'd think it would be.
Design figures to be used within almost your whole first party game lineup, but not allow it to store info from more than one? Incredible.

Can't.
Me neither and looks like futureshop is now out of stock

I'm hoping for that too. This is my first test of their system. Has anyone anywhere received a call?
Okay that's a relief.
I emailed them just in case, but it's good to know that it's not something I did.
Also got shipping notice about my Smash!Bowser amiibo from amazon.
Mega Man is nowhere in sight.

Sounds like MM might be another week or two. Same with Sonic.

They weren't surprised by the call and already were aware of the problem. They only needed a order number to manually start to shipping process. Pretty quick and painless.
I had to shoot them an email since I'm at work. Hopefully they can get it sorted without a phone call.

Anyone have the Bloodborne CE pre ordered? I'm trying to justify it, think the price will go up because of the dollar?
90 dollars is cheap. lay down a preorder anyway. this way you can lock in the 90 dollars and you can always cancel.

100 with tax >.< but you are right, I've only ever done preordering with Future Shop but they don't have it up. Is Amazon decent?

I hope everything works out, then because there's no way I'm missing out on my Shulk amiibo. I just sent them an e-mail myself just to see what they may say.

THIS is truly the first huge deal of the year. Massive, hard to find game conveniently made available (without going through the Wii portal) for only $10? fuk yeah.
I even hate the pointer controls, and I'm still buying the hell out of this

Has anyone seen the Thanos Funko Pop for pre-order anywhere in Canada yet?

My Sheik shipped today
Thanks, guess I'm just screwed with the free shipping. I had my orders in as soon as they went up. Alas, I will make an attempt to find them in the wild tomorrow and then cancel my Amazon order like I did with Wave 2.

I'm getting anxious. My Ike and King Dedede has been saying "Shipping Now" for some time. Just say shipped already!
