The Elite

Yup. Just ordered. I'm good with the two free passes.
Cancelled my Amazon order. This is a million times better.

It does, but likely a mistake. That's a Saturday.

Not that I saw, and none of the other rare three. Zelda though!

Didn't work for me, would only allow me to add 5$ 10$ 25$ 50$ or 150$ (or the exact amount I needed)... do you have to make a purchase for that amount?
You don't need to put the exact $60 to be qualified in this promo. You just need to make sure you added a $60 or more to your account during the promo.

Oh, so they don't need to be added all together?
I can just add another 30$ or so (already added 30$) and qualify?
Just add $10 then $50.

It's really silly that you can't just put any amount you want
Correct answer was to order online because they were of no help via e-mail or by phone, but by the time I went to do that the remaining copies had apparently sold out.
A+++ would use again.

FS/BB are the worst for shipping because most things go into a bubble mailer.
But if you order a steelbook, they'll ship that in a box.

I think most people suggest SAL. I placed my first order a few months back.
SAL unregistered, used it for all my orders so far.
Iirc registered is pointless since it doesn't track the package once it leaves Japan.
Ah, I did pick the unregistered one and it is cheaper. Thanks for the answer

Did they ever go on preorder in Canada? I only saw someone offering on on Kijiji for $1000 but never seen it at any Canadian store!

For what? I can't imagine they sold all those Zeldas, if that's what youre after.

Nah, Playstation Canada is being mean...
Well, while I agree that they are abusing, they told us that we'd know how to pre-order for Canada by watching the keynotes last Saturday. Nothing happened during the event. A few hours later, it appears for pre-order or US Twitter, should have too on the CA one. Wait longer, an announcement to tell us to keep checking this week appears. People wonder if it will just pop as a link out of nowhere, going to people who have time to check their Tweets all day long. They get tired to wait.
Today they replied to someone:
It's worded weirdly, creates doubt about the initial plan of being able to pre-order it on the Sony store.
only available through Sony's online store "sometime this week"

Could not resist pre-ordering one at Futureshop.ca. I hope that she will look good. If not, I will head there asap to see if there is some. If there is, I will trade for a better one.

I have all of wave 2 preordered from Future Shop, but am going to try to grab an extra Little Mac for the collection.
It's gonna be dog eat dog around Toronto when the new Amiibos arrive. GAFGawd help us/

Thanks
I guess it won't last for an hour though, this is a major scalping opportunity!

Honestly, I'll be impressed if they're available for longer than 60 seconds.
With all the talk of adapters and Amiibo's I completely forgot about this. Not like I'm going to have the money to purchase one but it would be nice to have the means.
EDIT:
How is Sony Store when it comes to preorders? It's not like EB Games new set up where you can't cancel online is it?

Remember guys, the EB Games site has both little mac and diddy available for preorder! Don't dick around with these and try to hunt them down, just grab them while you can.
For what it's worth though, I don't ethink Diddy will be one of the rare ones.

Diddy sold out first on FS and BB. I think this wave might be under shipped. Lots of Zelda for sure though
It was in a cardboard mailer this time.
Except it was jammed in, nice and snug like, as though someone had to force it in. And then probably got squeezed a bit being handled.
EB stores all had them in stock today. Went to a couple of locations and they had all three in stock.

Ahh, then maybe the Zeldas at best buy wasn't as lucky as I thought.
I kind of dont like that. If Nintendo is going to create such a scarcity of some of these, then they should at least uphold street date so people actually have a fair shot at getting them. If I went to Future Shop on Friday right at open, and found out they'd all been sold days earlier, I'd be right pissed.
I realized today I have way too many games that I picked up during black friday while down in the U.S.. My loss is your gain. Shoot me a message if you're interested in any of these titles (most are brand new and sealed.)
Mario Kart 8
Hyrule Warriors
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Theatrythm Curtain Call
Smash Bros 3DS
Pokemon Alpha
Mario Golf 3DS
Layton VS Ace Attorney

I'm interested in these three. I'm in Toronto. How much would that be? Thank you for doing this!
I know, but I got my credit card bill and realized I overspent. I may still sit on Metroid and get to it, just wanted to see if there was any interest as I'd rather get as close as possible to retail now for the others and then buy them back up used at a much better price in the future.

Ugh... I have a big enough fight with bots and other people trying to buy new shoe releases...
I don't want to do this with my videogames as well
well shit
Nice, matching the U.S. deal from launch a few weeks ago.

Is this in store only or can I buy online?
EDIT: Oh lol, everything is sold out
They would do this after I bought Link and Samus.
