So about that ... browsing the BestBuy forums reveals this interesting tidbit
Guess they're just solidifying stock and pricing at this point, but hey at least it is coming.

Canada Post still. Unless you are in the US then first class mail technically has tracking, the number on the customs form doubles as a tracking number
or within the next 20 hours so it might count for 30% promo
that sucks. any idea how much I should charge on ebay for shipping? if im looking in the right spot on canadaposts webpage then its $18 for tracking anything to the states which is ridiculous.

Subete no aware
Does eBay only do automatic shipping labels for US only? I notice when you buy from US sellers, they charge an exact amount for shipping + customs.

EB sells mini USB cables for a PS3 controller, right? I looked at my local BB, Walmart, Staples, and Dollarama and no one carries them.
What? It's an insanely common cable. Everyone you went to should have them. It's a standard USB variant. Used in hard drive enclosures, USB hubs, portable chargers. All sorts of stuff.
Yeah, but like above, all of those places should have had them. It's something like $15 at EB.

Thanks for the update on the fe:se! I was coming to the sad realization it may not come here like so many other limited runs of Nintendo games.
It's back up. GOGOGOGOGOGO!!!!

Does the Best Buy order status page update when the CSRs add or change prices on the back end? I got an additional discount applied, according to the CSR, to bring my preorders in line with the promotion, but it's not reflected in the order status page.
She said it would be reflected on my mastercard statement appropriately. Anyone else have this sort of behaviour too, or is it just because Xenoblade's so close to shipping and all that?
Just wanted to say thanks, did this verbatim and got the discount applied after getting bounced before. Thanks.

<insert joke about all recently Final Fantasy games being the same>
It's the same for me. I think someone else here also mentioned that. The CSR said it went down to $90.99 and will show up appropriately on my statement.
I'd say you should go with something by Western Digital.

Ok, rad. I just wanted to make sure I'm not the only one.
Thanks to everyone for the help in this thread, by the way. 40 bucks saved on this really reduces the sting for the damn thing.
Did you see it at that price in your cart? Did you call a CSR to have it adjusted? If not, I doubt it'd be $90.99 (before tax). Make doubly sure since I imagine they'll start the process of sending them out soon. You'll need at least two items in your order to have the 30% off applied.

No, you will have to call.
You need to meet the other promotional requirements as well, like Renewed said.
Alright, I'll give them a call.
Just updated my credit card info for my FS Xenoblade X order.
Looking at my order history, I have several other orders I'll have to call back for in the future to update CC info x_x

Nope. lol It'll most likely go up mid friday afternoon when they can expect the most traffic.
Yeaaaah! Got the discount on XCX SE at Best Buy! Took about 25 minutes of being put on hold and all, but I'm glad I got it. It's not showing up on my order, but he said it'll take a few hours. He also said I got an additional discount on Shovel Knight, but that already shipped, so I don't know if I'll get refunded or what?
Yeah, at Best Buy.
Edit: Chatted with Amazon to get the 30% discount for Zelda, but the guy said he can't add an item to an existing order (? I thought they could), so he just discounted it to $70. I'd much rather have the 30% discount as opposed to having it at $70 in case the price drops. Not sure if I should chat again.
Amazon has lost all my business from this point. I tried to chat and get the 30% promo added to my XBX:SE and Twilight Princess LE. I was told to give them a few minutes. Apparently they tried to combine the two orders, but when they did, they cancelled them and now since they are unavailable for reorder, I'm screwed.

Uh that shouldn't have happened.. did you ask to speak to a supervisor?
Yeah, and I was told there is nothing they can do since the items are unavailable to order from them. They just said to keep checking the site in case any more pop up in the future.
I placed an order for Zelda with Best Buy, but I'm screwed for the XBX:SE.
Did they mention they were gonna cancel or anything of the sort?
Does amazon or walmart or any other retailer have that restriction?
Nope, I was just told to wait.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Do you have the transcript of the conversation? If so, you have your proof and although your order is cancelled and it sucks, there's not much that can be done. I'd ask for Amazon credit to be applied on my account (20$) due to amazon's shortcomings
Dude, I would be so pissed right now. This is some incompetent shit right there.
Edit: So my chat with Amazon went better. Didn't cancel anything and applied the 30% discount. Only thing is that the 2 games are showing up as separate orders, but they both have the 30% discount when I check the invoice, so it's all good.

Kudos to them for keeping us informed, they definitely don't have to do that.
