Sounds like them announcing when it will be available, not "here's the link!".

I'm leaving within the hour for school, I guess I'm stuck waiting for BB or EB

Ok is this going to be an announcement on when pre-orders will start. Or will the next text about this be a live link to GO! GO!! GO!!!?

*still burnt from Playstation Canada*

Knowing them it could go either way.

The time has come upon us...

 

[semiconscious]

I rarely visit this thread anymore. Amiibos really ruined it.

same. the amii-bros's've managed to hit a vita-bros level of 'thread as chat forum' (which was the reason the vita community thread was eventually killed)...

 

[zroid]

They're really keeping us on the edge of our seats :lol

I finally managed to order all the Club Nintendo stuff I wanted so I'm ready to refocus my efforts on Rosalina! <3

 

[Anony]

so you think they will cancel orders if u order 2?
want to get one for myself and friend and also get free shipping

 

[chaobreaker]

So will we be able to reserve a Rosalina to pick up in-store or will this be a buy online only option?

 

[DeathByBacklog]

Dunno. Hoping we can order 2 to avoid shipping charges. I imagine if they have a restriction regarding quantity it'd be there right from the start. Those Toad amiibos had no restrictions whatsoever. I put 105 in my cart successfully (actually broke their delete from cart feature).

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

Not taking a chance and putting Let it Die in my cart now for free shipping...

 

[nobodyshero]

for online orders only

Huh?

 

[Dunlop]

For me I don't mind much of the talk in this thread, the only reason I'm against Amiibo's being here is because they simply dominate the whole conversation and pretty much bury everything else.

same, I will periodically pop back in here.

I see Amiibo and just jump back to gaming not bothering to see if there is any actual deals posted as it is not worth the effort to sift through.

I am on RFD a lot so not a huge deal, just seems to be contrary to the point of this topic

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

Huh?

You order it with a product that will never come out and it gets you free shipping. Eventually they will cancel the game that is never coming out (or you cancel it yourself later). Using a "dead" item allows you to not have to cancel yourself.

This?

They don't hold onto the item until the other "never going to release item" is available?

 

[LegendOfGood]

And "Let It Die" is for sure a dead item?

 

[zroid]

I have Mario vs. Donkey Kong Wii U in my cart for free shipping :lol

that's an eShop exclusive game

 

[Sealtest]

And "Let It Die" is for sure a dead item?

its a F2P, so it should be.

 

[chaobreaker]

for online orders only

But then it's going to cost 17 bucks to get one then.

 

[ohlawd]

gawd I'm jittery

don't bullshit me pls FS.

But then it's going to cost 17 bucks to get one then.

that's why you add a dead item in your cart so you get free shipping

 

[Fate_Shirou]

Dumb question, but if i go with paypal will the "Let it die" method work?

 

[chaobreaker]

dead item?

 

[ohlawd]

dead item?

are you serious lol

read the posts above you

Yes that one and they ship separately.

 

[nobodyshero]

sounds like you don't really want one lol

 

[Draysoth]

nice paid snow day, guessing we're all f5'ing the hell out of the FS twitter page! Good call on the dead item - I am putting up John Wick tho, I actually want that movie. BTW if anyone ordered a mess of Wave 3s from EBGames, I talked to them today about the 2 over charges - they are for sonic and mega man, which were delayed.

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

They charge immediately right? If it's the case, does not look like a good idea...

 

[chaobreaker]

I'm a moron who doesn't read, sue me.

sounds like you don't really want one lol

I just want one to say I have one lol.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Are they ever going to let me login to Club Nintendo? Got to the messenger bag page but I had 0 coins so now I'm logging in again.

 

[Fate_Shirou]

Haha, yeah it seems like it, wtv gonna bite the shipping

 

[CRA5H]

Why not just add a game preorder instead of a dead item and just cancel the order after the amiibo ships?

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

I just don't want to do that too often and look suspicious. They probably don't give a shit but with a dead item I just look like I did nothing "wrong".

 

[(mat)]

I just don't want to do that too often and look suspicious. They probably don't give a shit but with a dead item I just look like I did nothing "wrong".

I guarantee you nobody cares.

 

[chaobreaker]

Wait, will I get charged for Let it Die as well?

 

[CRA5H]

I canceled a couple E3 orders and they asked me why I was doing it. I told them I've received too many games to play and won't have time to play these. I'm certain they don't care and won't flag you for canceling orders. It's not like they are a subscription service lol

 

[ohlawd]

Wait, will I get charged for preordering Let it Die?

no. they charge you when it ships. Let it Die will never ship ergo.... boom

unless you use Paypal. don't know what's up with that since I've never used it when preordering stuff

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

I see. Well, I guess that it also has the advantage of it not mattering if you forget that you need to cancel an item. I know that worst case you just return the game to the store but the dead game is perfect for maximum laziness.

 

[DeathByBacklog]

So does the "add an intem that's never going to ship" trick work with amazon.ca as well? I assume it does with BestBuy since FS=BB. But I often get caught trying to fill an order on amazon to get the free shipping.

 

[chaobreaker]

I don't know where you guys are getting this idea that Let it Die isn't coming out ever but whatever, just "preordered" it.

No it doesn't. Amazon will only ship separately if you buy prime or pay extra

The game is now free to play.

Welp.

Yes, I'm a fraud. Please ignore me for now on.

[Aerocia]

But does it have the booklet?

I think the artbooks were only available for first print copies. :/ I ordered it anyways as I've been meaning to try out the series.

 

[i-Jest]

Sounds like them announcing when it will be available, not "here's the link!".

I really don't want to miss this.

 

[Aerocia]

A bit cruel that they don't provide a time frame for when this amiibo will be available. It might not even end up being today.. lol

 

[DeathByBacklog]

Did you follow Playstation Canada's PS4 20th Anniversary announcement? That...THAT was cruel. Outright disrespectful to be honest.
