iPhone? Check your notification centre.
Regardless most phones probably have the option to enable/disable app alerts, so look into that.

Has anyone cancelled a game that was part of that E3 deal on Amazon? Thinking of cancelling one of my orders but don't want to lose the 30% off on the other games I ordered.
Make sure you keep a minimum of 3 games in the order to retain your discount. I am unsure what happens if you cancel a third, and final to ship, game.
Maybe I'm just baffled by the new app but I can't even figure out where to go to activate it. It'll let me add favourite teams but that's it
YMMV since it's RCSS, but a couple of copies of Starfox 64 3DS ($33.xx) and one Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance($29.xx) showed up at 'markdown' prices at one I was at today (in the GVR).
Of course I find physical copies after I get the digital one :/
Don't think seniority matters, are you sure you're opted in for e-mails and promotions? (Check under your acccount settings).
I'm about to, I'll let you know how it goes.
You should be fine as long as you still have 3 or more games in the order though.

I did, and I lost my discount. Yay for $90 Until Dawn. I should have just made one giant order

We were all advocating making giant orders during the sale so this wouldn't happen to people.I did, and I lost my discount. Yay for $90 Until Dawn. I should have just made one giant order
Heck, just picking out the two games most likely to wind up as vaporware or to not be released until 2020 like FF7 Remake and tacking them onto any pre-order would have been fine.
Even small orders would work out all right with that approach.

Welp, guess I'm not cancelling Rare Replay. I thought I would have had an Xbone by now to play it, but some financial complications kept me from buying one.

It was great, but I would've played the Gens in reverse for maximum nostalgia. Also, I got soooo many streetpasses. 😊
if they did that and ended the show with the title screen montage, I would have just let myself cry. das mah childhood right there!

Oh god fight sticks are expensive. Looks like I'm going to stick to being a scrub with a controller.

Plus they manage to take up an ungodly amount of room, for something that will be used so sparingly. Only the most hardcore need apply.
Yeah, I will be putting a lot of time into SFV and other fighters but that pricing is nuts (you can find WiiU console + games deals for less than that).
Will stick to the pad most likely as well.

Still no SFV beta code, I guess i'll just go chat with Amazon.
Ugh I really wanted to go to that but didn't have enough time.
I missed out on Distant Worlds in Seattle and this.

Yeah, I was there. it was really good, though made me realize how little pokemon music I actually knew. I much preferred the Zelda show, but that's just my own personal preference.

Yeah I was hoping there'd be a decent option sub $100 for scrubs like me that more want to play casually. Anyone have an opinion on the Hori Fight Pads? (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TKLFES8/?tag=neogaf0e-20).

I wonder if I could mod my Xbox 360 TE stick to work with PS4 lol, no way am I buying a new one because I remembered how bad I am at fighting games lol

For the SFV beta at least, only PS4 directly compatible sticks are supposed to work. I was going to try a cheap-o $50 Mayflash fight stick and not mind if it broke after the weekend but it wouldn't work at all, heh.

I didn't go, but I agree that I'm not too familiar with Pokemon music either besides the original themes. I guess I just don't play enough with the sound on.
I would probably prefer the Zelda show.
It's possible, I know some dudes in Toronto who can mod in PS4 pcbs in to sticks but not sure where you live

Ok so I called Mad Catz...
1) They don't price match
2) The stick is prepared for shipping but the freight doesn't go out until tomorrow. They're going to try and physically pull it out of the shipment. If they fail to succeed in doing so, I can just refuse delivery for a full refund.
So I placed my order with NCIX. For a $15 savings, and peace of mind that I'm not going to get dinged with customs or duties fees, I'm good with that.

I think I'm the only one who's went to the Final Fantasy concert at UBC las Sunday. Now that one was solid.

I was so annoyed to find out that had happened. It literally never popped up anywhere for me, whether it be forums, facebook, twitter, etc.
I've missed the Final Fantasy convert like 4 times now.

I must have missed what the qualifications were for the beta code.

i kinda prefer these for keeping earbuds in my ears
they make for generic earbuds too
they needed to see you pre-ordered it (order number)

Make sure to get the right size.
I liked the ones I got though, more comfy and a better fit than silicone tips.
WrenchNinja

Yup, this worked for me too
You know how much it costs?
A lot of the estimates I've seen online are like the prices of brand new PS4-compatible sticks.
Which ones did you order and did you think they were worth it? I ordered the noise isolation ones because a lot of people are saying they are really good for travelling and creating a seal.
Unfortunately I wasn't sure on the right size so I had to bite the bullet and order the 3 pack, all sizes. At least I won't have any regrets come the second time around.
How long do they usually take to arrive into Canada?

http://www.complyfoam.com/ their website lists the sizes that would fit some ear buds. Were accurate enough for mine.
Don't remember the delivery time since its been a while. You know they are being sold on amazon.ca now.
So I emailed the Score app people and they ended push notification support on the BlackBerry app, presumably Sportsnet did too since it's the same basic app (not sure why TSN did it.)
Lazy devs, etc. But the good news is I'm not crazy, the app no longer has that basic function.
