Make sure your EB is opening at midnight, some of them are opening at 9pm. The 9pm thing might throw a wrench into things, if Capcom doesn't give them the go ahead to sell before street date like Nintendo has.
Best to just call your EB and ask them
Apparently the East Coast isn't getting it in the crotch as badly so I'll be able to pick up my New XL tomorrow ^^
(Seriously, there's snowbanks taller than me and I'm 6'3".)
If I wanted to read about the weather I'd go to the Toronto-GAF thread.

Just call them. They've had them in the back since Monday.
oh yeah, I forgot about that. I'll call them this afternoon. Thanks!

Y u do dis to me Amazon!? ;_;
I feel bad for whoever is going to deliver tomorrow, especially to scrapers. FS/BB use really oversized shipping boxes.
As usual, it's rainy here in Vancouver...

Double-digit temperatures here in Vancouver.
Anyone getting a case for their New 3DS XL?

Ordered this one myself. Hopefully it's as good as the regular XL version.Double-digit temperatures here in Vancouver.

Take that to the amiibo thread
I'm banking on a CAN release. How much did they charge in total with duties and shipping?
Also, how long is it expected to take to get to ya?

On topic: I can't decide if I should get Monster Hunter 4 or Ace Combat tomorrow, if I end up getting a new 3DS.
Or maybe just a copy of Link Between Worlds.

I know this isn't related to your post but thank you for mentioning you bought a precision screw driver set from the dollar store.
I just picked up one for my 3ds next week.
I just talked to an Amazon rep about my N3DS order not being prepared yet (MMLE game is being prepared though) and gave me the typical shipping upgrade from free to priority. It's still estimating Monday (Family Day) to Tuesday next week. I'm not desperate for it.. but it'd be nice to have for the long weekend.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Limited Edition Bundle came back in stock at Ebgames.ca but it won't proceed. Maybe they only had 1 extra... It might come back on and off! Second time now.
That isn't up on amazon.ca yet is it, because I can't find it... Gah. Might have to bite the bullet on this or wait it out. Although, I might grab a screen cover when I pop in to pick up my n3DSXL.
I did the same thing, I really wish I could get it sooner but happy to at least get it on monday if anything.

Never saw the point in getting a case for a clamshell device. Just get something in not black to hide the finger prints and obvious scratches.

Yeah I would have rather had it on Friday, but at least it won't get me in trouble on Valentine's Day xD
It cost me 22.47 in total but they haven't even given me an expected delivery date for it.
Nah I couldn't find it there so I had to order it through Amazon.com instead.

I hate Nintendo launches. Friday release dates are so stupid for those that order online.

I'm going to just walk into a fucking walmart at this point and just return the one I get from amazon.

Has anyone received a shipping notice for Majora's Mask 3D LE from Best Buy yet? Even if it ships today I'm not getting it until Monday with how long it takes, it's a good thing I have my review copy to keep me warm.

I mentioned that I was charged for the MMLE earlier so I imagine it'll ship later today. If it's similar to Rosalina yesterday it should be fine (Rosalina's out for delivery) depending on where you are.

No, I meant, I'm just going to end up buying it from a store, like a walmart or whatever. But I won't cancel my Amazon order just in case this fucking thing gets sold out everywhere (it won't). And once I get my amazon order, I'll just ship it right back (it's free).

Yup. Same. My Rosalina was delivered before noon today. Nothing to worry about so far.

Yeah, that's what I was talking about. I remember on some consoles stores would scan the serial code (it would have its own separate bar code) as well as the UPC. That way if you tried to return a different console it would get flagged.
I DON'T think this happens anymore though and some stores flat out never did it. When I worked at Blockbuster we would right down the serial codes manually but never really kept track of them.

It's sounding like no stores will actually have stock for walkin customers judging by what a few gaffers have found.

Nintendo is hilarious
Cool, thanks for the info! What about the Majora's Mask game limited edition? Any sense in going to a store early or is anybody without a preorder out of luck?
I wouldn't bother. That edition is way limited.

Holy shit dude. I am replying to someone else's post. Let it go.
Walmart started scanning serial numbers on video game hardware last year. I bought an XL and tried to return it literally minutes later and the register wouldn't allow it since the serial number hadn't hit their server yet.

Best Buy charged me for my Majora's Mask N3DS XL.
EBGames also charged me for my Majora's Mask N3DS XL, as well as my Majora's Mask Limited Edition.
I ended up buying one for my friend because I saw it when Best Buy randomly had more in stock, but I'm surprised both charged a day before. I wasn't expecting either to do it.
Now it's like a race to see who gets theirs first. If I get the Best Buy one first and I have to wait a weekend for the EBGames one I'm going to be so sad lol.
