By looking at the source code on walmart.ca, the pokemon games would be 49.96$
The Elite
BOSS
Such deal.

But that seems to be the price BEFORE the deal one.
I'll take it
Save on games so that you can buy more games. All according to plan.
How much does those cost at checkout (including shipping)?
Playstation gold headsets are $80 on amazon.ca https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01BH0FJSY/
aww man, should have waited.. XD Though I paid less than that thanks to gift card. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd try and return it/get price matched.
Does Best Buy price match amazon? I know we discussed this before, but I forget the answer.

They do
Yes. If it was within the last 30 days, just bring your receipt in. It's very quick.

Can confirm this. I think I used them once. Now they sit at the bottom of a pile of headphones I have. Be warned. Stay away from the headphones thread.

Thanks... missed that post.
Will go check my local EB to see if I can get lucky. Nephew would love Reaper and I wouldn't mind Soldier on my office desk.

Phara (Blizzard US exclusive) costs $26 CAD. The rest should be $12-13 or so (Winston is a bigger one so he's probably about $15, Soldier is EB-exclusive so he might be $14 because EB).

One of the worst things that ever happened to me financially was discovering the world of cheap yet fantastic Chinese IEM's and other such budget options. Good lord my drawer is a shitstorm of IEM's now.
Redeemed, but I'm 90% sure they're gonna revoke the licenses from the accounts. It's too great a fuck up... Unless they somehow let it slide.
I hope they don't revoke licenses... Today is the Day of Deals, after all.
The season pass popped up on PSN for free at some point, that was revoked pretty fast. Microsoft definitely won't let the deluxe edition of the game slide. Wonder what it is with Fallout 4 and these pricing errors.
Do they charge at checkout?
Probably, they're selling digital Steam copies and considering Steam charges at checkout...

I went through the Canadian XBOX site and it's also $0.00. Couldn't buy it at first because my privacy settings were set to "only free" (and apparently $0.00 isn't free) so I had to change that haha.
I just renewed my Xbox Live through the dash, It was 20% off so it was pretty close to the same price and it came with Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime.
I was surprised how long some of you held onto the E3 discounts. From what I heard some of those weren't redeemed until well after we were dead.
Also, when we had to invalidate everyone's GTAV code because it accidentally sent repeat codes to everyone.. that was my fault <_<
Amazon has it for $80 (show it to them on your phone or something or they'll just check on their computer) and you'd like price protection. They should also give you 10% of the difference. They'll need your receipt.cool. I found my receipt.. bought them on the 13th. Close-call.
So what do I say, I want a price-match refund?

Someone told me that you can get games from Amazon on launch day (or like the day after) if you have Amazon prime. I currently have the student prime trial thing, my question is do you only need prime when you place the pre-order, or will I also need to have prime when the game actually comes out and ships?
Deus Ex is tempting at $42...anyone have experience with pre-orders from cdkeys?
Yes, it's fine.

So that's a yes?
lmao, same. No sense in keeping my cheaper PS4 Amazon version tbh

you only need it when the order is placed. I used my 30 day trial on my order last year, and then took the plunge for full prime in January.
Just bit the bullet and ordered. I doubt we'll see a lower price for PC.
Not sure if it makes much of a difference with Prime, but I get most of my games on launch day (or they at least ship on launch day) from Amazon without Prime.

You still usually get it on launch day or even before without Prime... at least in my experience. Got Ratchet & Clank the day before, and Uncharted 4 the day of. Not exactly super close to a distribution center either.
Yep they're legit, never had an issue with 3 or 4 times pre-ordering. Always got the code on launch day at the very latest, usually a few days or so before.
The Playstation gold headset has gone for cheaper in the past, but if you don't already have one, this is a great time to pick one up in anticipation for PSVR. I have a set of Astro A50s, but unfortunately they aren't compatible so I just bought one of these as a suitable option to accommodate PSVR in October.
That's good to know, thanks.
Yeah, you sound way more butthurt than amused but hey, whatever floats your boat

This seems extremely hit and miss depending on who you are/where you live. My average pre-order delivery delay is four days after release, and a significant number of games don't arrive until a week later at least. Since I started keeping track, only 41% of the games I've pre-ordered via Amazon have arrived within three days of release. I live in downtown Toronto, so it's not like I live in a poorly serviced area either.
Definitely use your Prime trial for E3 pre-orders if you have one available and the Amazon deal is good.
not going to lie, getting the Fire Emblem SE at 33% off was gratifying. Not only was it rare and hard to get but I got it at a ridiculous discount.
cool. I found my receipt.. bought them on the 13th. Close-call.

Well, that was worth the trip to Best Buy.
Came down to 75.99.. so got a refund of $50.59 on a gift card since I had paid mostly with a gift card from a games trade-in special.
