This month is the first one I've gotten. Can't think of anything to buy however.
Ooohhh, I hope I get one so I can buy Project Mirai.
Nothing on my end.
People keep saying they got theirs and I got excited and I guess sort of confused. I couldn't find an email so I thought maybe I just imagined I got the notification when others did, but then I was worried I maybe got the email when I was drunk and deleted it.
Anyway, I just checked and mine hasn't shipped.

I went by Target today. Consoles were all gone except for 360's and Vitas. Most Nintendo first-party games were gone.
Everything else was in decent supply. It was quiet as always.

Are the codes emailed? I'd take it off your hands and buy xenoverse if you don't mind
edit - Actually since its OOS online I guess I couldn't buy xenoverse
Heh, Quebec doesn't use PEGI. I can tell that to you with 100% confidence because the games I work on have often needed to be rated for North America as a whole and it's 100% ESRB. PEGI is Europe-only.
If you saw a game with a PEGI certification on it, it's because it's a euro import.
I know some French games have PEGI logos on them because they used the same localization as in the European version. The French version of Pokémon HeartGold, for instance, has a PEGI logo on the box. The English one doesn't.
Top left "Fr" is only found on North American copies. See the PEGI logo on the cover. I think they stopped doing this for a while now, at least Nintendo did. They must have realized it was wrong since we use ESRB here and PEGI means nothing.

Guess I was wrong about PEGI =P
There was just a massive stack of Pokemon White and Yoshi's New Island all with PEGI ratings at Target, I didn't know what else to think. The only other time I've seen it in North America was a used Harry Potter game at EB.
I don't see why not, but someone from Target could probably give a better answer.The question unfortunately didn't cross my mind when I was looking around >_<

Anyone have any idea when the next drops will be? Still have a lot of stock at my local store so I've been holding out on some games
$39.99 ($20 off) for X1 Controller @ NCIX - http://www.ncix.com/detail/microsoft-xbox-one-controller-42-103655-1139.htm
Will have to pay for shipping though so you could try price matching FutureShop or BestBuy.
$54.99 ($10 off) for DS4 (Blue) @ Amazon.ca

When is this?
Bloodborne listing on Shop.ca
http://www.shop.ca/c/sony-ps4-bloodborne-711719053163-24763480
If you have any of the "$20 off $50 or more" or the Paypal "$50 off $125 or more" promos/coupons then this might be a good time to use them.
I just ordered Bloodborne and Shadow of Mordor for PS4 for $76 total combining the promos.

Was just about to post this. Upcoming games like FF and Mario Party are also on shop.ca.
The PayPal promo ends Mar. 8.
The Elite

Hmm.
I have this preordered already with the E3 deal.
I will see what's better. I have the $50 of $125 so this could be the better deal.
I think I can use this in conjunction with eBates as well. This could be really good. I am going to try Type 0 and Bloodborne.
Edit: Figures Type 0 is OoS.
That must be new? Never got that before

how do you know if you have the paypal promos?
Be careful with that. Sometime Ebates won't give it to you even if it's with the Paypal offer. I've read on RFD forums that some people get their cashback clawed back too once they see you're using it with other offers.
It was a targeted offer. Got into your Paypal account and check your "Wallet".

eBates doesn't work on video games. Use a $20 off $50 Facebook coupon.
If you hit the $125 limit after taxes it's a pretty good deal as the PayPal promo works out to 40% off.

I checked my account and turns out I didn't add my bday details
March is my birth month ;_;

Ahh, yes. I have the $50 off 125, but not the other. not worth ditching the E3 preorders then

where do I find the $20 off $50 paypal code from Facebook? I am on their page.

Nothing for me on Shop.ca right now, but the code is good through May, so I'll hang on to it. Even at $40, I really don't feel like chancing it with Mario Party 10.
The Elite

Thanks.
Just snagged Bloodborne and FF Type 0 for $88 all in.
I was previously paying $55 for Bloodborne (E3) deal and around $68 with tax on Amazon for Type 0.
So about $123 versus $88.
That's a savings of about $35 for me.

That'd explain why I can't find it. Ah well.
The Elite

How did you get them for 88$ all in?
20$ off is 60$ per game?
Just a question, I am pretty curious and would like to get in on this

I also had the Paypal offer. $50 off a $125 purchase.
I preordered Kirby and the Rainbow Curse and got it on the evening of release.

Yeah was gonna get Bloodborne but it appears to be out of stock. Gonna hold onto this until it's restocked then.
PS: So remember those Canada Post Parcel boxes they put inside apartment lobbies that was mentioned a while back? In the past month I've gotten several packages from Amazon, Ami Ami, and CDJapan, yet they have never used that parcel delivery box for my packages ONCE. It's like they just put it there just... Just because. Is it like... Something I have to specifically note before it ships or something?
The Elite

Yes. I have had no problems with them shipping on time for new products.

I grabbed a copy of Bloodborne on Shop.ca, along with Mario Party, and neither of the product pages mention anything about a release date or them being preorders. What are the chances they get shipped out early?

Thanks for posting, with my job I don't get on here that much so I've missed it previously if this was posted
I was just in and the games section in my local Target has already been demolished, Blu-rays too. One day someone's going to get a great price on 700 copies of Frozen though.

QUESTION:
Best place to buy a 64gig Vita memory card? The last one I ordered from playasia I think. Not sure if it was the cheapest price, but they had it so that was the place I went with. Tried to load some new games on my vita tonight and didn't have enough space. Sure I could load some back onto my 32gig but that'll fill up quickly. So may as well get the 64 that I'll eventually need to upgrade to.
