Given how its been selling I don't really expect them to fly off the shelves, even at that price. You'll probably be fine.

Shit. Shopper's has Splatoon for $59.99?
I am going to have to hit up one of the locations that actually carries games.
Edit: Is there a flyer scan of the deal I can take to Best Buy?
Check Shoppers site for flyer. Also, it's cheaper at Indigo.ca w/ the 20% VISA Checkout promo. $55.99.
The Elite

Hmm. I wonder if I can do that for in store pickup today. I will try.
Edit: Yeah, nothing is available. :/ And the Shoppers deal starts tomorrow according to the flyer.

Will Best buy price match Code Name STEAM if it's out of stock on EB's site?
No but you can ask them to check the stock of a nearby ebgames. They usually tolerant for that

I did a PM for it at Bestbuy. 11,25$ in total, not bad.

Got Codename Steam at EBgames. Woohoo! Thanks a lot to whoever posted this!
Unsurprisingly, they were out of Ness a***** however.

Went to the St. Vital EB at Winnipeg and they only have like 4 left. They were telling people that they were only $13 at the beginning of most transactions lol. Also, ended up getting a Splatoon shirt.
Kind of feel bad that the game bombed. Poor IS, they make a game to appeal to western audiences and their game sells worse than Fire Emblem.

It's a great concept.
I think it was poorly marketed and the art style didn't help. There is something off about the look of the game. The demo didn't help much either.
For $13 though...

Still wouldn't pick for $13, it looks so bad.

NEW DEAL
Didn't see it posted in this thread yet, but if you pickup Splatoon at EBgames you can get a pro controller for $24.99.
I don't think I've ever seen it lower.
Cheers!
Edit: Also, for the few people who want Codename Steam there were TONS of copies at my local EBgames, I strongly suggest you give yours a call today to see if they have any in stock before giving up.

Gonna price match at BB, hopefully this works despite it being sold out online.

Montreal EB cleared of Codename Steam. Oh well
And yeah, I'll also confirm Platinum is per year. This is the one they were trying to coax people out of the Xbone/PS4 lineups into a faster plat-only lineup with.

Weird Splatoon deal considering it doesn't support the Pro Controller.

Battle Dojo does, but yeah, weird offer considering that only one small part of this game allows you to use the pro controller.
I'm just happy that player 3 at my house doesn't have to use the Wiimotes for Mario Kart or Smash anymore.

Does Canada Post deliver twice in one day? I'm tracking a package and it says expected delivery today but I already got my mail for the day.

Yeah same here. I got Splatoon but my amiibos aren't here yet dispite being scheduled to arrive today...
I really hate Nintendo's Friday release thing.
Sometimes package mail and regular mail comes at different times. But not guaranteed

Got my Codename STEAM from the EB Games at Oakville Place if anyone lives in that area. I called ahead to see if they could put one aside for me, and they said "We got lots, don't worry."

Yeah, I picked it up on price alone but I don't think I will play it for a while. It could end up being fodder in a trade deal if the return offers more than I paid.
Wanna grab one and drop it at my house?Went to the St. Vital EB at Winnipeg and they only have like 4 left. They were telling people that they were only $13 at the beginning of most transactions lol. Also, ended up getting a Splatoon shirt.

I can't make it out maybe. Good to know though, maybe I'll head over later.
Damn, the dollar took a massive hit this week. Lost any gains since April.
I get letter mail around noon consistently by a mail carrier who parks his car and goes door to door by foot. I get packages from a CP truck that parks in front of my house. The truck delivers anytime from 11 am to 6 pm.

And it worked. Used a $5 Reward Zone certificate, so it came out to $6.07, not bad.

Both version are now $99.99 for some reason.
EDIT: Looks like it was fixed. Glad I got on the discount before the price change.

Got Codename Steam at the Yonge & Eglinton store in Toronto. There's quite a lot of them left there

Regular is showing as $59.99
They may have had a few in the back, but there were only four or so on the counter where they had the games that had big discounts.
Either way you can probably easily find them at the less busy EB Games.

Shit was $45. We have such shitty prices now, why feel bad about a legitimate deal.

Anyone been to either of the Eatons Centre EBGames for Codename Steam? Thinking of stopping by after work.
Ohhh I've got one of those expiring soon. And it shows in stock. Well I know where I'm going after work.

Looking at the locator on the site, it seems to be readily available at just about every store. You should have no problem finding one.
Nah I went to the downtown Toronto commerce court it was already OOS even though it was green on the store locator.
