These codes came in handy last year. Ended up with a couple of them for different amounts that netted me cheap games. If shop.ca puts up a few E3 titles this can be really good for preorders if the bestbuy.ca deals aren't that great.

What?
It's been bumped up to $79.99?
I had a preorder at Amazon.ca for $62.99 a while ago. I can't see this being more than $69.99 (Amazon has it for $69.95 now).
Still expensive.
Should be June

Lol I ordered something from GameStop.com and it shipped from Texas yesterday. Wasn't expecting it until sometime next week, but it showed up this morning. Suck it Amazon shipping speed. 
I'm pretty sure it is since you already paid for that.

you're ballsy, not even waiting to see what E3 sales will bring you.
But yeah, i think the prices are guaranteed. Not 100% confident though.
Thanks!
Hey, either pay $59.99 now (low low price!) or pay $60 from E3 deals ($74.99 - $20 + tax). Lol. I doubt the E3 deals are going to be anything amazing when the normal $20 off a game gets you down to a regular price.
But if I missed out, then I miss out haha.
Excellent.
Thanks all!
It's $59 at Microplay.
No preorder? It's a must now with the constantly rising prices. I had an order locked at $62 from amazon but just cancelled last week since I bought it at Microplay instead.
Any one taking preorders? I've never bought an amiibo before but have heard horror stories lol.Europe
(it's not coming out here till Fall so there's a while to wait yet)
please direct all a***** talk in the a***** thread down at community
thanks
preordering an amiibo is hell on Earth

It probably shipped from somewhere in Mississauga. They just wanna charge you $15 shipping LOL
it's a joke btw so go easy on me
Yarn yoshi amiibo hasn't popped anywhere for pre-orders in Canada. The game doesn't even have a solid release date yet. If you wanna wait and wants to know the latest news about it, you should head to http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=985202 .
Talking about amiibo is kinda taboo here. So for anything amiibo go there.
I'll probably get punished for mentioning amiibo so use my sacrifice wisely...

Anyone know of a place to sell a Vita 2000 and 24 GB worth of memory cards? BST thread on here isn't attracting anyone, neither is my Kijiji post. EB Games is offering a laughable $50 for it.
Where are you and what do you want?

Victoria and shoot me a price. I have it for $150 IIRC on Kijiji. Any price that's reasonable($100+) I'm willing to consider. $50 is a joke.
Try lowering your price first. $180 is probably too high. Borderlands bundle was $100 at Walmart a week or so ago. Memory cards under 32gb are also largely worthless since whoever buys it off you will likely buy a 32gb or 64gb card.

Just lower the price a bit on here.
What is a Yarn Yoshi A*****?
Why would it be too late for you to get an A*****?
Is A***** a super sought-after item?
Nope, I wasn't interested in the game until I played it some. I didn't think I would play that type of game so I didn't pre-order. Looks like it will be a costly mistake.
I've been trying to buy a vita for a while now, sent you a PM.
Has anyone called Amazon CS? Do you get a rep who is just reading a script or someone who you can actually work with?
I sent an e-mail asking for info re: all my estimated delivery dates getting bumped, especially since P&D hadn't shipped yet five business days after release (and my three other pending orders were all silently bumped, as I mentioned before here), and I got a reply apologizing and saying there was a "problem" and they bumped shipping up on my order, not answering any of the questions I actually asked. So I sent another e-mail saying "thanks, but that's not what I was asking, here's what I was asking" and got another e-mail from another rep saying the same thing as the first (but noting shipping was already 'upgraded'), once again not answering the questions.
I just don't want to bother trying to allocate time to call if I'm going to end up spinning in circles with something that is ultimately insignificant.

Use the chat feature. That way you'll at least be able to understand what's being said to you. And you'll get a reply quicker then email.

But yarn yoshi is made of yarn.
More on topic. Good to know that Splatoon is 59.99 at microplay. I'll pick my copy of the game there.
Same, Nintendo releases always make me a teensy bit nervous because of their Friday dates.
If it happens though at least I'll have Ultra-busted Street Fighter IV Downgradeaton to play.
For those interested, Cineplex is holding free screenings for the final two episodes of Game of Thrones Season 5 on June 14.

would much rather watch it at home
Movie theaters are to be tolerated for new movies, they're not a great experience at all
We see around three to five movies per year, depending on what's out. And we always go to a matinee a couple weeks after the movie released. No issues with seats and less people in general means less of a chance of having some douche kicking the back of my seat, asshats talking over the movie and all the general stuff that comes with large crowds.

Watching a TV show at a movie theater is a painful thought these days.
I just go to the theater for the big films I want to see. If I have the option to see something at home I will gladly take it.
yeah i am very much over seeing movies on opening day / weekend / week.
I don't need zillions of high schoolers in my vicinity pretty much ever, let alone in a dark, crowded room where people are supposed to be silent
I remember one time as a kid I went to see a movie with my mom, and the theatre was pretty much empty. I thought it was weird and awkward at the time, but my mom loved it. What was wrong with me? She was obviously correct, empty theatres = best theatres.

I only fuck with IMAX 3D movies at the theatre these days... with the rare exception of a comedy that I really want to see. I just don't enjoy the experience all that much anymore. It used to be that movies were where all the "serious" drama was, and television was where teenagers got their entertainment, but in the last 15 years or so it seems like they have swapped places.
Nearly everyone I know gets their dramatic entertainment fix from television these days, and it also seems like most of the movies coming out are super-hero movies made for 13 year old boys. (Not that there's anything wrong with adults liking those movies, but they are clearly not the target audience)

when you put it that way, it sounds entirely intentional :lol

Yeah I rarely see anything on opening days. There are rare occurrences though. Like I saw both Avengers movies, Godzilla, and Furious 7 at the Thursday night opening. Furious 7 was the worst one though. Fucking high school kids wouldn't shut the hell up and were probably jittery over breaking their curfew on a school night or some shit.
I usually go on half off Tuesdays though. I'm probably gonna watch San Andreas next Tuesday after work
One of my best movie crowd memories was watching the third Madohilarious movie (yes there were cosplayers). And then just hearing the audible gasps and confusion at a certain part of that movie. It was hilarious
Also there were these two really buff dudes who watched the movie just to pick up girls at the theater. They were pretty surprised when everyone there was male
