The copper one for sure. Probably both, because the blue one was shipped and the box is damaged which I just noticed.
The rumours of the new, revised controller, worry me.
An eye glass wipe wouldn't tarnish the disc. They're made for those, aren't they?

I sent them a reply...
"Sorry. I can not close the dispute until it is settled. Once I am refunded, or receive the items purchased, I will close the dispute. The case ID is as follows...
#PP-___-___-___-___. I'm hopeful that this matter can be resolved quickly."

I had 5 packages come from Singapore/Taiwan/Hong Kong region recently. Took them each seven weeks to arrive... Lesson learned; go for the more expensive shipping.
At least they haven't sunk to Sega level quite yet. But it's getting there...
Lol 70 cents. They didn't even bother at 75.
We're only overpaying by about $2.40 =D ... + tax, which other services like Steam and PSN don't charge.

Does Play-Asia not get how Paypal works?

We understand your situation. However, please be informed that we cannot
issue a refund as long as the dispute is still open. In this case, we
suggest you to close it once you haven't received the package within next
week for us to issue your refund.
Once again, we apologize if this has caused you inconveniences.
For any further concerns, please don't hesitate to inform us.

Yes I'm starting to get really pissed with Nintendo with regards to how much they are overcharging for digital content in Canada.
I used to use the badge arcade once and a while when it was still $1.29 for 5 plays which was already kind of expensive but at least fair but then they went and raised it I quite entirely.
Want the new Fire emblem dlc pack? It'll cost you over an extra Dollar in Canada then it should.
Why the heck are they gouging us?

I wonder if the huge Bombardier deal is going to help any with that.

If it reaches parity again I hope game prices will go back down
Probably in 6 months of parity they might change the price.
Yeah. Hardware (like PS4, XB1, PSVR, Neo? XBO II?) may see faster adjustments to price, but software is likely going to take a while.
if ever.

There's literally no choice software prices aren't adjusted if the dollar reaches and maintains parity.

Returned both controllers tonight. They could only refund to PayPal, which is okay.
I may re-buy the blue one down the road, but the box was damaged from shipping and that worried me. Plus, it doesn't have the grips which is big negative. It's so pretty, though.

idk man. They tried to bump up the prices to 70 at some point in the past (like 6-8 years ago or something) when parity was there... at least EB Games did, and failed
Mein Gott, USD to CAD is 1.25. I was hoping we'd get here by E3.
It better continue to improve, got lots of games to pre-order this year, and new hardware coming in hot. 1.20 and them retailers better drop that price immediately since I'm betting their video game sales have dried up over the past year.

Same price as 3 Metroid Prime titles combined isn't it?

That's less than I thought it would be. Seriously thought it'd be 40 or 50 bucks. It's a niche game where the only currently available and accessible version is a gimped and blurry as fuck N3DS-Only version. They could totally get away with selling it at $50

Can't wait for the Canadian Dollar to go back up only to have all those eshop games stay at their inflated prices forever.
I don't think they like paypal LOL.
I purchased an item a few years ago (which was on sale and a really good deal) from them using paypal. Then they asked me to send them a copy of my credit card + ID (passport).
So I got that email from Amazon concerning uncharted 4 and how they won't be able to meet something they promised so they'll refund my shipping cost for it, but online it still days arriving by the 10th which is the released date anyway, so I don't get what Amazon is talking about, but hey, less money is always better.
They have probably been cheated by PayPal customers a lot in the past. Like giving a refund and the person doesn't close the dispute anyway or something. PayPal almost always sides with the buyer. They basically only side with sellers if they prove they delivered the item as described (tracking).
Play-Asia is a legitimate business so they're probably not trying to cheat you. But I understand being uncomfortable. It's on them, as a business, to understand that they have to take those risks.
Overseas shipping and customs do hold up stuff for a crazy long time sometimes though. I'm currently waiting on a phone case myself for the last 7 weeks. This just happens sometimes.
It sucks but the seller doesn't have any control over that. I dealt with Play-Asia before in a similar situation for a PSV case and screen protector for the back touch pad. It took 2 months to arrive but I complained to Play-Asia after about a month. I insisted that they re-send before I close the dispute and eventually they ended up re-sending it on my terms. The first shipment actually arrived about the same time the 2nd one did. So I ended up with 2 packages of the same order. But I contacted them after and just paid for the 2nd shipment contents because I felt guilty.
Rock band 4 at bestbuy for 99.97$ . Comes with one guitar only.
I priced match at Walmart . I wanted this game for the weekend. It stupid that these guitars costs so much money.
I need to buy a second guitar. I should have just bought 2 of the guitar and game bundles.

Sorry Xbox only looks like ps4 is sold out.

With amazon, they charge lowest price minus 30%, so even if you pre-order now while it's still shown at 79.99, if by the time the game comes out, it's down to 69.99.. they'll charge 70 and take 30% off.
Bought the game standalone on there after posting about it earlier this week. Track list is a big meh, but most of my RB1 bought songs carried over. (Some I think they lost licensing for? like Snow (hey oh) from RHCP.
Don't have the guits and drums anymore, so I just sing and hope my neighbors don't hear me too much. Friend is bringing his instruments tomorrow for the week-end though.

Seems fine, but I'm usually just receiving packages for work.
UPS sends out forms you have to fill out for customs, and you have to mail them or fax them back.
A big NO! Get ready to pay hefty fees if you are going to use them or any of other three (UPS, DHL)

Whoa. Is that even safe? I hope they don't do that anymore now...
Safe or not I would never ever send something like that.
Just got hit last night for the first time ever with a customs bill from FedEx for $22. Ordered P4
AN Disco Fever edition from Play-Asia since it was cheaper even with FedEx shipping than buying it over here.Then the customs fee hit lol.
