Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
I hope my Mass Effect, The Last Guardian, Rare Replay, Animal Crossing, will be updated too

went down 2 days ago and went back up today sometime.
Still waiting for my PxZ2,Mass Effect,nathan drake collection, Nier, Fire Emblem and Ratchet to update.
Those 2 didn't drop yet for me, but Deus Ex did to 62.99. I think Amazon.ca will be my destination of choice for all future E3 deals. :]

Just got an email from Amazon saying my copy of Fallout was upgraded to release day shipping for some reason. I'll take it!
Mine hasn't updated yet, still at $79.99.
Wat, which one?
I have Lost Song pre-ordered on the Vita and it's sitting at $45.

My E3 orders have begun to auto-correct. My guess is they'll update as we pass some undefined time period after each price drop. Horizon was one of the first games to drop to $71.99 and that one, along with World of Final Fantasy PS4, have been corrected on my order. The later price drops aren't yet reflected on my order, but I'm guessing they'll all update in the next day or so.
See guys? No CSRs needed!

PS4. It dropped from $79.99 to $62.99. $69.99 may be the actual price and then 10% was taken off that, but Amazon was showing 21% off.
Only Horizon updated for me so far. And TLG went back up to $79.9x.

I think we mentioned it late last week.

Oh man, I limited myself on the amount of preorders because of the ludicrous $80 prices, but now that they're dropping, I really regret not preordering more! D:

My Last Guardian price hasn't been adjusted yet but I'm still not panicking despite the price bump back to $79.96.
Mad Max has had TWO price drops since the E3 sale and when I checked earlier today, the first price drop adjustment had kicked in but the second one had not.
I hate that we have to micromanage this stuff and that adjustments appear to be random and out of sync for everyone.
If you use camelcamelcamel, even in several months you can go back and cross-reference the date your preordered and the lowest price that game has been since then. So even if it isn't updated, they record every price drop so you have that information readily available and contact CS with it. That's what I plan to do

Does anybody know which Canadian online sites I can pre-order the physical copy of Shovel Knight for Wii U? According to Yacht Club Games' website, pre-orders should be live, but I can't find one anywhere.
Any help is much appreciated!

It's always the same thing, we tell people not to worry about the price or whether they really want a game until right before release and they don't listen.
It was. It even dropped to 64.99
Yup there it is, a few pages back.
Given that it's been on sale for a week and still copies available online I guess it's not that sought after. $25 is my breaking point for buying it given the fun I had with #3 balanced with the buzz that it's just more of the same.
I'm picking up a copy after work.
That's weird bacause I have some math problems with my order containing it and they said Ac was excluded from deal as it's marked as limited edition.
Get your order subtotal and multiply it to 0.30. If it's the same with your "E3 30% off promo" then all of your order got a 30% discount.
Well it's not. That's what confuses me.
I think it's because of star wars deluxe, but they told me it's marked with 30% promo in my order. I'll talk to them again
Dishonored: Definitive Edition was also adjusted from $54.99 to $49.49.
Battlefront Deluxe unfortunately didn't work. I had it in my original order and the 30% didn't apply, but then for the standard edition it was applied. Weird that it said it was but wasn't!

I honestly don't think you have to micromanage anything, everyone just seems oddly on edge about their orders not updating for some reason. Last year, Amazon dutifully updated pre-orders after random sales or price drops. They have a whole system built for this. It just takes time. If the prices don't drop on your order after a week, definitely complain to a CSR, but the orders don't update within hours and that's always been the case.

Part of me wishes I preordered Assassin's Creed Syndicate after seeing it fall to $64.99 but I refuse to buy Ubisoft games over $30. I just got Unity for $25 2 months ago and I think that'd the best price of an Assassin's Creed game personally.
Also none of my orders updated the price drops but I did talk to a CSR yesterday and she said to not worry. I will use camelcamelcamel right before the launch of each game and verify if I'm being scammed though.
Best wishes.

If there's one company whose games you should never have remorse about NOT pre-ordering, it's Ubisoft.
Some other companies have taken their sweet time reducing game prices but Ubisoft is still pretty reliable in that department.
They matched my order with BB deal for deluxe. I told them the have it for deluxe and asked if I can have it from amazon. They reduced price manualy to 60 bucks to match 30% and told me if MSRP goes lower they will adjust it. Its for $80 atm.

I guess this is why the page was taken down on Amazon.

Here's hoping its cross-buy then.
I want to point out that my digimon cyber sleuth just updated with its cover art in ENGLISH. Maybe its not only digital.

Well, this is good.
Not a Canadian Deal but amazon.com is giving discounts on games to prime members. Maybe it'll come up north?

Ah, I see. Hopefully it doesn't become something you have to watch and deal with often in case fluctuations mess up the discount. That would be super annoying to deal with.
