And you only get the privilege for a day, no longer active today.
Is the pre-order on PSN $70?
Tons of inventory coming in, not enough hours scheduled to unload and put out said inventory is what I think he was trying to state.

yeah pretty much, backroom's a mess and we're pretty much following how the liquidators want shit set up.

Slightly OT...
Have a virtually untouched copy of Evolve with DLC still unused for sale if a Montrealer would be interested!
If this isn't permitted just delete it - figured with the Order posts around should be okay.

I'm wondering if it would be worth to create a canadian BST thread? I almost never use the current one because I assume buyers / sellers are from US.

I'm sure it would take off, I can see myself using it.
Actually hoping some games get delayed so I can get in on E3 deals and perhaps the dollar can recover

The dollar already has recovered a bit. It was a 30% difference last month, now it's down to 23ish.
it's 60 bucks everywhere except VGP at 55 but shipping kills it

Canadian BST sounds great!
Not a bad idea. The only issue I would have is that it would split the digital sales market in two.
For everything physical the BST is useless to us but for the digital stuff we can still get some great deals... I guess it's less a factor now that Steam went to shit recently.
I'd definitely be interested in one.
Man, that sucks. I'll definitely wait for the price to drop on it first.
I can see myself using it too, messaging a lot of people on the current BST thread, and having them tell me that they don't ship up north is sad.
Especially when you really really want that copy of Disgaea

I put a pre-order in at Amazon when they first put it up, it was $50 back then. I was afraid this would happen.

Agreed. I think a single post is enough. If it starts to become a thing a Canadian BST would probably be best.
Buying and selling in the regular BST thread is always problematic as a Canadian.
I am a little concerned about the fact that Xenoblade 3DS hasn't gone up for presale yet.

Still waiting on that CE to go live at Future Shop...I dunno if I trust Amazon to get it to me day 1.
Agree with this, bolded especially.

Pretty much. You have to deal with shipping on physical items and a lot of people just won't do it if you're buying.

Looks like there is demand for a BST Canada thread. Now for the next step. Who wants to run it?

If deals and trades can't be discussed here, then I'd be down for a BST Canada also.

does anyone know if those super smash Wii U 3rd party gamecube pads works as classic controllers for other games like Mario Kart 8, VC games etc?
The Hori ones do (and are the only third party one you should buy, the knock off brand ones that look similar to the Hori ones are crap.)

thanks, im surprised nintendo let it work like that, guess they dont care,lol
28.1% (buy), right now, at TD Canada Trust. Not much of a recovery, unfortunately.

I would love a Canadian BST thread.
With the current state of the dollar, it's definitely needed.

I would like to see a BST for Canada. Why not just let it happen in this thread?
Add in a rule that the post must have full price with a shipping option so there aren't lots of questions clogging up this thread. Any questions must be by PM. First person to post "I will take it." buys the item (must also quote original sale post). Original sale post can be edited later to show sold - again all to limit questions. Let this happen for two weeks to see how busy it gets - and then decide if a Canadian BST needs it's own thread.
Cheers

A storm is coming
$59.99 in US
As much as I love keeping up with new releases and talking with peeps while the hype is fresh, I can't justify Day1 releases anymore.
Some games are the exception, like those long hour open world ones. (Dying Light, GTA V, Watch_Dogs)

And also:
Let's nuke Saudi Arabia
VGP has it for $64
but that price still unacceptable.
I hope it comes out after E3 So I can get it for a deal.

Seeing those prices makes me so glad I always load up on the futureshop deal every year.

They can't seriously be expecting people to buy at those prices
I think they're definitely going to find sales die down at that price by a big amount, and at the very least will go back to 69.99 shortly after.
Still have my $40 preorder locked in for MGSV from 2013 (so glad they didn't turn that preorder into a ground zeroes one and are doing it for phantom pain instead).
At this rate those E3 deals may not even be worth it to me anymore if this newer price ends up being the regular one. I guess it may really force me to go through my backlog rather than get distracted by new games.
