For those wondering, I just had my Battlefront automatically adjusted on Amazon to the temporary $64.96 without having to contact them.
If any of you guys went to the Sony E3 Experience and received an email for the $5 voucher code, apparently it will not work if you have a Canadian PSN account, it only works with a US account. I just had an online chat with a Sony chat adviser and he said that there is nothing he could do. I am sadly disappointed by this, and I do worry that the rest of the stuff I receive from the E3 experience will not work as well.
God damn it. I thought they were just not activated.
Some of you have mentioned that having a rep automatically adjust your price voids the preorder price guarantee (and auto adjustment), but I just had a rep assure me this was not the case. Does anybody have experience with this that could confirm whether or not the price will still auto adjust? I made the mistake of having Halo 5 automatically adjusted yesterday.
EDIT: This is on Amazon, my bad for not clarifying.

How can I not spend $69 on Splatoon? It's almost been a month at this point
buy it from toysrus.ca
use CINEPLEXFEB in the coupon code box and you'll save $10.
the code is good to save $10 on any order over $50. I bought splatoon today from thanks to that.
Same here. I checked my order earlier today and it wasn't adjusted, and I meant to contact Amazon CS, but forgot. I just remembered now and checked my order and it now adjusted to $64.96.
Amazing. They are amazing!
It's like when you use complex sentences, they have no idea what's going on.
I wish I had a chance to save my chats... I got disconnected by them, lol
But this:
I'll never forget this.
Waiting not always the best especially as economists predicting the dollar to go to 73 cents near September onward before climbing back up next year. There's a reason retailers are keeping fall releases at $74.99-$79.99
Climbing back to what? 80 cents? Haha
True, but $69.99 games are an easier pill to swallow than $79.99 games. Though I bet they'd take their sweet ass time bringing the price of games back down once they bring them up.
Wait wait WHAT ?
Eh, just several analysts predicting that come September and later in the year, the US dollar will gain a lot of ground and that the Canadian dollar won't pick up again till next year. I suspect that's why these greedy publishers have already started pricing their pre-orders for October/November games at $74.99-$79.99 etc. They probably also have analysts telling them to expect that. Then again, nothing is ever certain, but it's what they're predicting.
I have two unused nintendo club codes. I don't know their value in coins (They are my ex-girlfriend's and she just left them behind. She never redeemed them and told me to just throw them in the garbage. Ugh.) I 've just learned that they're closing on the 30th so I'm just giving them away. If anyone wants them, Pm me ! First-come, First-served.
Code entering has been disabled I think. At least it was last time I checked.
Guaranteed next day to an Ontario address requires the shipment originate in Ontario or Quebec. They are rarely early.

Ahhh, thanks. Didn't know that bit of information .
I found this :
" 7/31/15 - Last day to redeem Club Nintendo download codes in the Nintendo eShop. "
http://en-americas-support.nintendo...2LzEvdGltZS8xNDM1NTIwMzg4L3NpZC92czR5ZTJxbQ==
That's for game download codes you spend coins on. Codes for coins became invalid some time ago. And the last day to spend coins is the last day of June.
Ok so I'll just throw them in the bin. Thank you !
Holy shit, I can't believe it's going to drop that low.

so i just checked my invoice dated june 17th, and battlefront was 64.96 bucks.
According to the website, "all download codes redeemed from Club Nintendo will expire on July 31, 2015", so it should be good until then.
(Reminder to anyone who hasn't redeemed their codes yet though: the site shuts down on June 30th, so you need to copy down your unredeemed codes to somewhere else)

Ugh, I was actually debating getting one soon too. What a dealbreaker
I'm kinda kicking myself for passing on the 20% from Indigo last month to grab a Wii U with Bayo 2, so I feel ya.
Rare Replay is only $30 in Canada too!
Thank you so much! I always wanted to play the game. I really appreciate it!

Guys, I'm getting buyers remorse from P4DAN. How are returns with Amazon? Do I have to pay for shipping? If I cancel that game, will it screw the deals I had in the same order? It really took me effort to get the 30% off applied to Superbeat Xonic and I don't want to screw that up.

As long as you still have three games left in the order then you should be safe to cancel P4DAN, otherwise, yeah you have to pay return shipping.

Thoroughly fucked then, I only have 3 items in that order.
Oh well, to craigslist it goes as soon as I get it then.
And less than 2 days later my order is automatically updated. Stop wasting your time contacting Amazon to adjust what will automatically be adjusted. You people need to learn to relax.

During the sale I didn't get one of my prices adjusted.
I will continue to feel anxiety.

Microsoft store has gears ultimate and gears 4 pre orders up and each come with a $10 gift card.
Also the french version of gears 4 is $5 cheaper than English version. I'm pretty sure it's just the boxart and manual that's french and the game is pure english

While I don't have an Xbox One, that is indeed good news hahaha
Fuzzy,
Will my card be charged now or when the game ships? Am I guaranteed to get it on release day? If I cancel two of my 3 games will I still get 30% off the third? Please advise.

When will Amazon put up Persona 5 for pre-order?
Card charged at time of shipping. You require 3 to get the discount. That is why many of us ordered more than 3 to provide a buffer for cancellations.
