Canadian Gaming Deals and Discussion Thread 5: Much Ado Aboot Shipping
- Thread starter Firestorm
- Start date
They mentioned items might ship separately on the order confirmation page, IIRC. Maybe they're counting stock in store as part of the online stock as well, and need to ship from stores that have certain sizes/styles if the warehouse(s) don't?
Oh okay. I didn't notice that.
In less than 2 hours, I've received 6 different emails saying X item had shipped. They really need to improve their system.
What's your expected delivery date ? Mine says 29/07 lewl ...
Yeah, 29 July for my one item that's shipped (so far) too.
Yes and no. A lot of other retailers are having quality sales too. We're at the time when retailers want to clear out most of their current stock so they have room for next seasons styles.

Not sure if anyone posted this yet, but Evolve is $40 on Amazon right now. I just bought a copy.

Yeah what do they accept for trade?
I did a search but could only find this. The time stamp says its an entry from May 12th. https://www.facebook.com/ebgames.gamestop/photos/a.286235220998.146624.274208315998/10153173601185999/
EDIT: Read through a couple comments. Seems the games have to be worth at least $8.

Did investigating, the 5 games have to have at least $8 trade in value and then the games trade in value altogether are bumped up to $100. Then whatever console you're trading in, they bump the value another $50 of what the normal trade-in value is. So the only way to get a PS4 for $99 is if the console is an Xbox One basically.

Weren't they announcing closures of a ton of stores?
can't they just scan one that's in the store? :S

Exactly. My girlfriend just walked back in with head office on the phone. I'm just waiting by the car.
I hate calling head office on stores but this is a little silly.
She has the receipt so it's not like there should be any difficulty.
You're not going to like come September when economists had predicted below 0.74-0.73, but that was before Iran deal too. At least a lot of us locked E3 games at good prices from Amazon or Best Buy.

I'd be biting on FFX now if the RNG wasn't borked and Square Enix seemingly intent on not patching it.
Will stick with my superior Vita version.
This also qualifies as a superior version. And at $20 it's a bargain.I saw PS3 Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD for $20 at Walmart. Also I am currently in a town with a Walmart.
True but from what I was told, those locations weren't important enough to keep open. Anyway, Gap isn't leaving Canada.
Is the Vita version worth it over the PS3 version?

Haven't played the PS3 version myself but I've heard the load times may be slightly improved on Vita over it. You also get the benefits of suspend/resume. If you go digital, you can break the game up into its X and X-2 components to free up storage. And the RNG works like it's supposed to (unlike on PS4). I don't have any qualms with it.
Naturally, you can even mitigate the PS4 version's RNG issues by having the game on PS3/Vita and employing cross-save to jump systems whenever an RNG hangup impairs your ability to trigger something in the game. Would allow you to enjoy the improved graphics and original soundtrack on the PS4 version of the game and be able to skirt the RNG issues when needed (although you'd still have to deal with the PS4 music reset bug as well). It's a shame Square Enix won't patch that stuff.
I used to work there. All you need is the receipt. Fuck, you don't even need the receipt of you paid with debit or credit. They could look it up for you.
Edit: GAP won't leave Canada. They pull huge sales and profits.
Ah, balls...thanks though.
Huh. Weird. What's the release date, you think I can walk in and just pick it off the shelf or no?

Nunchucks $10
Wii u pro controller $25
Mario, luigi, peach controller $20
Wii fit u with fit board $20

Why not? They patched motion blur in Type-0 months after release. There's still hope.

Yeah, they had the UK version available for 5$ less up to this very morning and now it's gone, Kind of sad that I didn't bite earlier.
Nonetheless, I placed an order anyways
Damn, that's a good price for a pro controller too.
Go back and get me a Wii U pro controller and I'll pay you at the meetup. Black is preferable but I'll be fine with white. Thanks.

For those who missed out on the Amazon Borderlands Handsome Collection sale I think the game is at its current historic low as part of the PSN flash sale for $35 Harper Bucks.
Might bite on this and the Gradius collection.

I bit on the Handsome Collection. $35 without tax is the right price for me.

Bestbuy is having a flash sale on television. Saw this 43" one for $369: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/insignia-insignia-43-1080p-60hz-led-tv-ns-43d420na16-black-ns-43d420na16/10357991.aspx?path=afa37ddf004b47ad030739024ef010aben02&SearchPageIndex=1
Insignia is a BB house brand right?

It is indeed their house brand. I've bought a 50" Insignia about 2 and a half years ago, and I've been pretty happy with what I got for my money. It's nothing fancy, but it holds up very well. It doesn't even have a single dead pixel.
