Question for people who have ordered on Shop.ca before

So as of recent, have they been good at delivering games day one? Right now I'm trying to decide between just getting the game digitally on PS4, or just getting it off Shop.ca for $59 shipped but I really want it on day one.

 

[User 479360]

I wish they'd announce some new Xbox One controller variants. Or that I could find a cheap Titanfall or CoD one (unlikely).

I get everything from them day one.

They ship UPS if that is an issue.

 

[aechris]

So glad those fs preorders still hold. Only issue I have is my persona 5 is ps3...

Same problem. I keep meaning to call and ask them to switch it but I figure it'd be a waste of time.

Ah okay then. UPS tends to get to me in the morning, as opposed to Canada Post which seriously just shows up at random times. Guess shop.ca is a safe bet then.

 

[Qwyjibo]

I pre-ordered both Bloodborne and MLB 15 from Shop.ca and both were delivered on release day by UPS in the early evening (around 6pm).

Given all the coupons always floating around for Shop.ca, it might become my go-to for pre-orders.

 

[Aske]

Are there any deals for PS+ around, or should I just suck it up and resubscribe on the PSN store? Been putting it off because there haven't been any free games I've wanted, but I feel a need to play some online Xrd.

 

[VultureDude]

Picked up Captain Toad with PC Plus points. Came to $10 with tax. Looks like my dinner table is going to be subsidizing my living room from here on out!

 

[VultureDude]

Got Mario Gold World Tour from Club Nintendo. Checked the DLC and the season pass is $20.65 or something. It's $15 in the US. Ugh.

Both NES Remixes also went up in price on the eShop, they're 18.49 now, they used to be 16.49 last time I checked... I hope it doesn't trickle down to the virtual console, they seems protected for the time being... but I doubt it will last...

 

[Ventara]

So I need to preorder Xenoblade that's coming out this Friday. What's the best deal I can get for it other than full price?

Best buy has a10% off preorders tonight after 8 pm

 

[Crazymoogle]

Welcome back, Best Buy. (The former FS that weren't shut down should reopen today as BB). Is there a primer on the GCU plan for Canada? Worth it?

 

[Ryne]

Is there a primer on the GCU plan for Canada? Worth it?

As far as I know, there isn't one for Canada like there in the US. All we get is 2x reward points.

if it's still 20% off new games and you can get a sub for 30 bucks, it'd be worth it. we don't have GCU tho

yeesh

well box boy was only 10% more at least...

 

[kurahadol]

I have to change my credit card information with my FS pre-orders, anyone attempt a change with these yet?

 

[Seik]

Hmm, I'll have to do the same thing two in the next month, my CC is expiring.

Hope everything will be fine.

I e-mailed them on Monday and they said they'll contact me directly about my orders. They said it will take a few days for them to get back to me and if I don't hear back from them, give them another shout.

Still nothing.

There is no GCU in Canada.

I'm hoping that the BB CS people, which is the same as the FS CS people, have access to FS orders. I should give them a call.

So for some reason I have Xbox money expiring so I am planning to grab DA:I since it's on sale this week.

Does anyone know if the marketplace charges tax in Canada? Its been ages since I've bought anything off of it.

Yeah, I believe it does if you pay with money. If you pay with credit (like from that GS promotion at the summer) then it doesn't.

 

[WrenchNinja]

While you guys are talking about eshop price increases, am I crazy for thinking they lowered some game prices? Like some full retail 3DS games are back to $39.99.

On the flip side, they seem to have raised the prices of 3DS themes, they're all $2.50 now

 

[ohlawd]

I bought all the themes I wanted last week. dodged a bullet :3

Oh okay. So it looks like my money is expiring because it used to be MS points and they all expire in June... so since it was transferred into money, there should be tax for the whole thing I guess right?

 

[Crazymoogle]

There is no GCU in Canada.

Ah. I thought there was some kind of weaker version. Maybe that was years ago?

 

[Ventara]

Oh, I just remembered I have a $5 points code with them. I guess I'll go with them.

 

[ohlawd]

we do have the weaker version. it's just called gamer's club.

2x points for video game stuff

 

[Fuzzy]

Online only sale so you can't use RZ certificates.

sometimes they email you random coupons too but that hasn't happened much lately...

I think that should count as promotional credit, since "real" money doesn't expire IIRC. I believe it should tell you when you try to spend it though.

Ah. I thought there was some kind of weaker version. Maybe that was years ago?

Yeah, the free reward zone thing is their equivalent. Notice that if you have a problem with the program, you get directed to the American CS though.

Just FYI, the BestBuy people can handle FS orders using the same order numbers. It leads me to think that they'll just keep the FS order system up indefinitely since they probably don't need to change it anymore... or at least, hopefully, for the sake of a lot of my far off preorders.

Funny enough, if you call the old FS 1-800 number, it directs to the BestBuy number... complete with the same damn hold music.

 

[Ventara]

Online only sale so you can't use RZ certificates.

Darn. Eh, $4.50 off is still better than nothing, I suppose.

 

[kennah]

If anyone wants to sell their platinum gifts for emt, pm me. I'm looking for a few. Willing to go $20 per.

I think it's taxable, yes, but don't quote me on that.

For anyone else who's curious, you can actually see when your post-transition credits expire at https://commerce.microsoft.com/PaymentHub/PaymentInstrument

The DS4 price is too high

Spoiler

IMO

 

[23qwerty]

Was just in the futureshop I mean best buy in my town, looks exactly the same as Futureshop still, inside and out. Only difference so far is that everyone's wearing Best Buy outfits and there's about 3x as many employees as normal.

Has that TLOU PS4 on amazon @ 399 not started yet? Showing as 449 on amazon.

Guys quick, what's the best Pizza deal in Toronto (Scarborough)?

A fellow scarberian! Lol. Unfortunately the pizza pizza walk in sales (5-7 bucks) are the best deal I think

Yeah, that's what I usually go with, but I'm so sick of their plain cheese pizza. I went with their $16.99 XL 3 topping + 3 drinks with Cineplex B1G1 movie coupon.

Has the BB site been wonky all day? I see PSTV Lego bundle for $60, and I want it, but the page isn't loading fully. :/

Tonights web sale is really slowing down the site.

My apologies. That was last week's deal and shouldn't have been active.

 

[chrominance]

I have that PSTV bundle sitting in my cart but I can't bring myself to pull the trigger, seeing as how I already have TWO Vitas and the only use I can think of for the PSTV is HDMI out for (some) Vita and PSP games so I can do video/screenshot capture.

 

[ohlawd]

still can't check my FS orders

oh well at least got Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven (bless) preordered this time

 

[WrenchNinja]

How the hell is Xenoblade 3D sold out before it's even out? Wanted to move my preorder away from Future Shop to Best Buy.

FS/BB constantly sell out of preorders all the time on smaller games. It's a pain.

 

[Layth]

I bought Mario vs Donkey Kong Tipping Stars on the 3DS and although I have a Wii U because of lack of cross save I have no desire to redeem it. If anyone wants it I think $10 sounds fair or if you have an excess of unredeemed Club Nintendo points we can work out a trade that way too.

 

[Gravidee]

Got Mario Gold World Tour from Club Nintendo. Checked the DLC and the season pass is $20.65 or something. It's $15 in the US. Ugh.

Because of that, I decided to pick up New leaf instead.
