Prime would be worth it if they bothered to add the streaming stuff here. Without it, it's really not that great a value.

I really hope a lot of pre-order games will drop on July 15th. That would be nice especially with 30% off
What do you consider a good buy? Amazon has copies from $25 and up
If you can ask your local shoppers stores they may have copies lying around for $20. Super ymmv though.
I know the store I worked at basically barely sold games so they were stashed in the managers office.
Many stores in Toronto had Fortune Street for $19.99 in the bargain bins for years. I see less and less of them now, but definitely worth a shot.
My feelings as well. Maybe if they took the price down even further I'd consider it. But being in Toronto, I get all my stuff on release day. It would strictly be for all my other, none-new release game orders.

Crossing my fingers for decent TV deals...! Guess I can use the free student trial for this sale?

As everyone said, I bought my copy a couple of months ago from the bargain bin on Shoppers, so glad to finally own it, amazing game with friends/

I like that I can at least cancel it at any time and get some of my money back.
I am going to give it a shot for a while since my Batman shipped late from them even though I am in Toronto. Also, I am saving a ton of money on my orders so I don't mind at least giving it a shot for a year.
Otherwise, it is really disappointing that they haven't been able to get their streaming worked out in Canada. The price should be cheaper.
I wouldn't be paying for Prime if this was the cost. I don't buy enough from Amazon to make it worth that. Student pricing is where it's at.
Woah, did publishers drop game prices back to 64.99-69.99?? My Amazon E3 preorders are now:
FIFA 16 Xbox One - 64.96
Forza Motorsport 6 - 67.49
Star Wars Battlefront Xbox One - 64.96
Halo 5 - 64.96
The Division Xbox One - 69.96
Uncharted 4 - 71.99
These all used to be at least 74.99 and some 79.99.

Some of them (CoD, battlefront, Syndicate), have randomly dropped to 65. The more random prices are because Amazon just had a sale where a lot of games were 10% off, and you get the lowest price offered.

Nice, then I'm only paying 45$ for most of those before tax. Crazy.

I'm in the minority here but I happily pay the $80 for Prime every year, even without the goodies in the US. I order a good number of silly little things, and being able to nab a sub-$5 blu-ray or something similar with no shipping and receive it a day or two later is great.
Their prices on home and grocery incidentals could use some work, though. But I don't really want to go back and calculate how much I spent there in the past year.

I wonder why they changed the prices. Low pre-orders?
I hope so. I don't want to go back to 80$ after tasting 45$.

Yup, it's great. Only one of the games on my preorder list still $79.99, all the others dropped to $71.99. With the E3 promotion and including tax, all games (minus that one) come in under $57 now. Awesome.
Now you're obligated to give yours to someone in this thread.

Thanks!
Already have Tokyo Jungle and Sound Shape, but I'm almost tempted just to get a physical copy of those... Is Fat Princess still active?

Is Steins;Gate getting a physical release in Canada?

I was wrong, see my next post on this.
Original Post:
I don't think so, might have to import it.
I think it's assumed that we are, they had stated they want to give us a physical release in NA. None of the retailers have it up yet though because they are trying to sell us the limited edition that Rice Digital has up. I expect it to go up on usual retailers closer to release.

I believe it's going to be Amazon exclusive for the physical release.

Oh, just talked to my buddy, since E3 it was clarified they would have NA physical releases coming August 25th.

I found a copy for 30$ at The Source just recently.

Man, that sucks. At least Amazon has dropped the price back down from $79.99 to $74.99... but I'm sure you'd rather be paying $41.97 with the rest of us.CRAP I just realized I forgot to pre order Street Fighter V off of Amazon
I had a pre-order from when it first came at $50 but I cancelled it because I was going to re-order it during the E3 sale.

well if its not out till 2016
maybe its after E3 and you can do a second round of pre-orders at the 20-30%
hope man!
So I think I might take advantage of the Walmart n3DS XL deal (free Smash or Pokemon OR/AS), only because I need to replace my 3DS anyway. Anyone have any recommendations on Smash 3DS vs. OR/AS? I have a Wii U, but don't have Smash, and the last Pokemon I played was Gen II, if that helps.
That's what I'm leaning towards, honestly (although Walmart's website claims that ORAS isn't sold in stores, apparently. WTF)

Daily reminder to check Craigslist and Kijiji, fellas. Got this sweet deal for $25, everything mint.

Thanks! Ghost in the Shell and Vagrant Story are worth more than this on their own each, haha
