"This discount will only apply to one copy of the game, and is only redeemable if you are the original recipient of this e-mail."
That's the part from the email.
"We hope to see you again soon on Amazon.ca."
Part of me wants to say "never again", but the realistic part of me knows that'll not be happening. lol
edit:
Has anyone checked their order history?
It's not even showing up for me as a cancelled order. it's just... gone..
It's like it never happened at all.

Yup, My order has been deleted as well
Yep, same here. I'm pretty sure I checked this time last night and it was there.
It's 100% because someone finally saw or cared enough about the pricing error. I don't know if Amazon Canada has done that before (or Amazon itself actually gone and cancelled on pricing errors). Plus you can't even get the Premium version on Amazon.ca, you can only get the Collector's version
Edit: I placed that order the second I could so it's not an issue of them fulfilling someone elses order and not having enough for me. This is basically them taking it away. Would love to see if someone that ordered the premium version at full price still has their order.

Chances are they will throw their Rosalina up at the same time. Maybe?
So just for fun (I don't even have a PS4 so I'm not getting this game now) I used the Amazon link and, signed in, put in the discount code. What do I see?
Sorry, there was a problem
The promotional code you entered is invalid for your purchase
First the insult, Amazon, then the injury! Does it work for anyone?

I just tried it and it didn't work.
It feels soooo good to be a Canadian Gaming Consumer.

EBgames IS getting Roaslina. In extremely limited quantities. Like, 1 or 2 per store. No preorders, no holds, no employee purchases(FUCK). No release date when, but very soon. They will announce it on social media before anywhere else.
Dunno.
I just fired them off an email sprinkled with some feigned indignation. I'm not really surprised they weaseled their way out of the LE, but this code not working, that's some bush league stuff.

Amazon just sent me my cancellation email for the order back when that $150 was pricing error'd at 20 bucks lol. So close. So close. "supply issues".

I just spoke to Amazon customer service, they agreed to giving me the Collector's edition for $15, YMMV though
No, they said only the ones in the picture of the tweet I posted. Mario is timed exclusive to the bundle in NA.
Eh.. I wonder if this will ever even hit $30 with the dollar currently.

Same, real nice guy.
Apparently they cancelled all orders because they kicked that "vendor" from the site.

Amazon Canada just cancelled my The Order Premium Edition.
Luckily I had a back up on Amazon USA.
Anyone else get this?
They gave me a 10% off code for the Collectors Edition. Lame

That vendor being Sony?

I have no idea he explained it how Sony never was the actual seller and it was Amazon and they were getting the premiums from some vendor.

Wait you guys are complaint because your $20 order for it got cancelled? Mine was full price and got cancelled.

I want there to be random amiibo late night pop up shops at like 3-4AM in the morning in the middle of Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal just to see how many people would show up for those. Oh and there'd be a 2-3 hour early notice before they go up.
It's the next stage to amiibo madness

I never complained, I aksed why it was cancelled and eventually mentioned how the coupon was not working and he gave me the collector's for my old price.
really? damn what did you say, gotta go complain
web_slinger_62
Member
I asked for it for that price, the guy said no, I can only have 10% off, then I said no thanks, and he's like ok we'll do it
lol
you are a master of haggling.
Me too. I just basically told the guy the situation and he had my back.
I take back all that "greatest injustice in the history of mankind" stuff Amazon, although you should seriously get your coupons working before sending them out.

Went to toys R Us like an hour ago and apparently they got their wave shipment in this morning. I asked if they had anything left and they said they only have bowser. :l

Haha, that's awesome.
I've had varying luck with discounts through Amazon. I won't bother them on the Order, though - my favourite customer service experience with them was the $90 apology they discounted from my white PS4 order because Destiny had French packaging.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Same. Really happy as I found the statue more appealing on the Collector's anyways
I went to TRU today and they had received nothing new.

Target and FS are by far the worst in my opinion. I don't mind other stores.
Target: They'll ignore you at the electronics cash register and take people ahead of you. Or, at least, that's my experience. One CSR also cut my mother off when she was walking carefully after surgery, and almost knocked her down, just to get to the register to talk to her friend.
Future Shop: The CSRs at customer service often seem pissed off, their methods for trades are terribly slow and outdated and most of the time I went in there with trades, nobody would come up and talk to me in the gaming section. They just ignore you.
I was also followed out of the store once and shadowed like a thief, after buying something in the home theatre section. The guy asked for me to be stopped.
No luck on my end tonight, going to try again tomorrow
Edit: so my haggling skills are not up to par. The most they would offer me is a $20 credit. Real load of shit as I already have the collectors edition in an order at a lower price. I even did the "no thanks" and still nothing.

I thought they were getting their shipment in on Friday because of the Lucario launch. I guess they got it early. I will probably go check the other TRUs around my city tomorrow.

2 hours...15 minutes.
I'm assuming they already have the page up. And the tweet on twitter will just point the way to the page. Hopefully it all goes over without a hitch. Would suck to stay up this late and have it be for no reason at all.

I don't see Rosalina in the amiibo page so I'm assuming to go from the tweet?
I'm gonna use this time to hopefully finish my Club Nintendo shit. people need to sleep, right?
