I'd be more then willing to trade our program and pay yearly for 20% off games everyday. Would mean I dont limit myself to games outside of E3 preorders.

Hmm... I want to pre-order Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and Fossil Frontiers, but my mind tells me not to. I didn't realize Fossil Fighters was a budget release, so $31.50 before taxes isn't that bad. But, it will also probably drop pretty quickly... maybe. And paying $40.50 + tax for Xenoblade is weird because I had the chance to buy the Wii version when it came out for $50.
It is funny how they have One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 up for pre-order. No way that gets a retail release in North America.
That game was...ok lol.

Damn, Atlus tax on Devil Survivor. 
Damn, Atlus tax on Devil Survivor.
Just placed the order for it and etrian mystery, I feel the pain. At least 10% off is better than nothing. Damn my Atlus weakness.
Yep. Boo

Yup. Which sucks when something is $19.99 and your using a eshop card.

Yes.
But if you change your province to Alberta you'll get charged Alberta tax. Not that I'd ever condone doing that.......
MGSV is $74.99 now?! I'm glad I preordered during E3, but this is just sad.
Thanks. Was wondering if I should buy a card or just use my credit card, so my CC will be cheaper then. It charges in CAD too right?
I'm not sure what this question is? Neither would be cheaper. A $20 eShop card costs $20.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker is currently $53.99 for a preorder on Amazon
It's probably ain't getting cheaper than that any time soon. So if you want it I'd jump on it now.

Isn't there a $30 one as well?
I've never bought anything on the eshop or an eshop card.
Thanks.
I'm gonna try to switch my $39.99 ps3 order from 2 years ago to ps4 lol...but I have a $48.99 one from last year anyways

Sigh... Guess this will be the best I'll get for Record Breaker huh? Should I pre-order?
I was hoping to get Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Collector's Edition for 10% off but doesn't seem to be part of the sale on the xbox one side and the ps4 version is sold out (that was quick). Seems like all of the new editions to the site are not 10% off. Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster for the PS4 is though. Not sure if anyone considers a re-make of a re-make a good deal at $53.99.
There's $50. but whether you pay with a credit card or an eShop card is just a matter of preference.
I'm not saying I'm discounted for using a CC, just that I don't need to plop $30 for prepaid vs paying $25 by purchasing directly. Get it? Just less out of pocket.
Do Atlus games eventually decrease in value? Will there be more sales down the line with deeper discounts that will involve this game? Can you wait that long to even play this game?
every atlus game is like perennially 50% off on the eshop after a few months

Was gonna say, if you're not dead-set on physical, Atlus games all seem to have their first sale a few months after release, and then they're on sale every other week it seems. I'm holding off on Etrian Mystery Dungeon because I already have a giant Etrian Odyssey backlog and it makes zero sense for me to add to it at full price with a spinoff of all things.

Yeah, if you don't care about physical and don't need to play day 1, you might as well wait for the inevitable sale. Although they seem to discount more often on PSN than they do on Nintendo Network.

Battlefield Hardline Deluxe is $80? wtf?
Damn, which is tanking harder, the Canadian dollar or the Leafs?

$50 for a handheld game is absolute bananas and that's before stuff like the Atlus tax or just tax in general.
$30 was the real sweat spot for handheld games for me, I really enjoyed that price point last gen on several ds titles, and even this gen during e3 sales.
I only make minimum wage and don't get a lot of hours so all this is doing is forcing me to be even more selective about which games I buy then I was already, that and waiting longer for them to get down in price since they don't bottom out quite as fast.
It hurts being someone who prefers physical first when possible. I'm willing to comprise if I have to and go digital sometimes but only when something is either very hard to find or it's significantly cheaper to get it digitally which doesn't happen with nearly enough.
This entire situation just makes me want to cry.

I haven't read anything about it, but the upgrade for DS1 was enough to make it worth it that time...
Probably Netflix, Shomi is only available if you are a Rogers customer atm

Can you really blame Square Enix for charging $60 for their PS2 & PSP remakes if people will continue to pay that much for them? It's the consumer that's to blame here.

100% Netflix.
I dont know if any of you are Starbucks rewards members, but today they are doing BOGO breakfast sandwiches, and there's also an ongoing 3 bonus stars for purchasing any breakfast sandwich offer (not sure if it's for all members though), which ends tomorrow. So you get 7 stars total for the transaction. Good deal.

Well Leafs have always been tanking. I can't even remember the last high point.
With the dollar it was more like we enjoyed a few good years of what was basically parity with the USD and now suddenly price increases everywhere.
Also Origin charges tax. Thanks EA. GMG isn't really an option either. Also can't get away with the Mexican Origin VPN thing because they use USD on there. Hopefully Hardline drops to $30-40 in the next few months.
EDIT: Oh, GMG has BF Hardline on their VIP thing for $49.99. That brings it to around 63-65 CAD on PC. Somehow cheaper than if it was still going for $59.99 at retail plus tax I guess.
Why not call and ask them?
That said, there are dozens of posts on Kijiji from people reselling their sealed copy they bought simply for the pin.
Was it a preorder pin? I think you'll be fine because when I preordered MGR for the artbook from them, I managed to return the game itself no problems and kept the artbook.
