There's plenty of time for it to drop down to what it should be, right?

they probably fall under CE/LE so maybe. don't worry too much about it. some CE/LEs do fall through the cracks and get the discount. there's really no consistency.
Shit, hopefully this will be allowed. $110 bucks is nuts to pay, $77 is much more acceptable.
Higher chance for them to slip through if they are already up when the sale goes live
Best Buy codes are supposed to start coming out today.
It is the only way my wife and I see movies in theatres now. So good with no kids around and all that extra room.
Side note has anyone got their Overwatch beta codes from BestBuy yet?
Hmmm, will try to order it immediately then.
That's not what he means. He just means that CEs that already exist at the time of the sale (as opposed to newly announced ones) tend to slip through the cracks more.
Don't order it now, the deal won't apply to already existing orders.
Yea, I meant when the E3 sale kicks off.

It looks like Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is now $44.99 on PSN.
Does PSN charge tax?

I didn't think so, but I don't buy digitally very often. Thanks.
I guess I'll have to buy some cards.
Or, do you think it will drop more physically in the near future?

This reminds me of a question I've been wanting to ask. Why does Steam/PSN not charge tax but XBL does?

I wonder why EB Games doesn't sell the Uncharted: Nathan Drake Collection -- at least online -- and hasn't for quite some time.
Last year was the first Call of Duty LE I've intentionally skipped, because it was so much cheaper to just get the standard edition of Black Ops 3 during the E3 deals and then buy the season pass separately. If Amazon does the same thing this year and doesn't include the LEs as part of the E3 deals I'll be put in a tough spot due to MW Remastered. Let's hope for the best!
good christ that price.

The price is absurd, but I want CoD4. Fucking Canadian dollar.

What? I thought it was going up recently.

Yes, 80USD = ~100CAD but I'm sure all these prices are set in stone for a while. We're paying an extra 10 bucks here right now.

Also, what was the reason people used to get free return shipping to Amazon? I forgot I preordered Battleborn and need to ship it back.

I put an order in just in case it doesn't show up on Amazon.ca or Bestbuy.ca, with the way things are going it might end up being cheaper from Amazon.com.

I'd probably get this if I didn't have a 40 dollar preorder from 2013.

Sooooo I just moved to Canada (Toronto) from the US and, uh, yeah, Canadian prices sure are...a thing.
I...hmm. I guess I'm a bit shellshocked. The OP is a good crash course, but...yeesh, this is something else. Any other insider tips/wisdom y'all can share?

Preorder everything you're set on buying during E3. Amazon/BestBuy normally have preorder discounts.

Yeah pretty much wait until one of the bigger sales roll around. Or just follow this thread.
Did you even try to wipe the smudge off of your disc before you sold it?
In addition to pre-order deals, I've also found it helps to browse Best Buy's clearance section online. It can be difficult to time, but sometimes you can find really great deals before they become out of stock.
Edit: Also, welcome to the country! Enjoy some poutine

BUT ALL YOUR OLD MONEY IS WORTH 25% MORE NOW WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING
Basically we only buy games during E3 pre-orders, Black Friday, Boxing Day, and price errors. Or abusing coupons. Welcome to Canada!
Hey GAF,
Due to a work thing, I received a $100 pre-paid Visa card that can only spent in the US. What would you guys suggest a Canadian do with this? I'm not going to the states anytime soon. I was thinking just ordering stuff from Amazon.com for a while (hoping I don't get hit with duty), but maybe you guys have a better suggestion.

With Nintendo's exchange rate, the NX is going to be five hundred ninety-nine Canadian dollars.
Only worth it if they pack in a giant enemy crab.
I find the keys generally arrive the day before launch. I've been able to preload with no issues.

If you play games on PC I'd suggest buying digital games from one of the sites that deals in USD, like Green Man Gaming or GOG.com. No taxes, no duty. Not sure if the PSN game codes you can buy from Amazon.com work in Canada, but if they do, that would be another potential hassle-free option.
With Amazon.com, you pay the taxes when you place the order. No nasty surprises when the package arrives in the mail but no packages sneaking through customs without paying the tax either.

We should get used to these prices for Pokemon going forward in Nintendo's new one core platform era.
There will only be one mainline Pokemon release that will play on both console and portable hardware and it will retail for $60 CDN a pop or more for each version.
I was thinking about doing the PSN thing. Problem is that I think I lose out on the exchange rate bump. I think a $50 card adds $50 to your account no matter where you bought the card. I could be wrong on that.
Ahh okay. The last time I ordered from Amazon.com was 7-8 years ago, so I didn't know about that change.
