True, I know I will order a crapload and cancel as needed. I did just get Battlefield 1 for $49.99 pre-order.
For the rest I will just wait until thursday once everything is up.

Yeah there's no reason why you can't have at least one MC and Visa.
The Elite
BOSS
CIBC debit VISA should be fine.
PS4 Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is 59.99 Canadian on PlayStation store vs 79.99 in stores.... First time I have seen a digital copy on launch get such a discount
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en...asir/cid=UP0177-CUSA05083_00-ODINSPHERELE0000
Vita is also cheaper too 39.99 vs 59.99 in store
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en...asir/cid=UP0177-PCSE00899_00-ODINSPHERELE0000
Too bad no cross buy or I'd pick it up

Wow, way to go NCIX. Couldn't even just leave it at $600 or $550...
At those prices I might as well wait to see future options. I hope we don't have to wait another 3 years for the dollar to come back to par.
$280 difference what the hell, that should have been $499 at most. What a joke.
$38 seems higher than what new release TIVs used to be
are they actually accounting for the MSRP increases? colour me surprised.
Wow. The Division is still $38? That's impressive.

I traded in Far Cry Primal (ps4), Quantum Break (XO), Battlefield 4 (Ps3) @ EBGames
I got $59. That is honestly ok with me. Expected less.
The SC version is $60 more for nothing. It's an identical card, just with no factory overclock.
If you're going to spend more money, get the FTW or another competitor's card, since they'll have custom PCB layouts, better VRM, and more power delivery.
For now, I've put a pre-order down for the ACX 3.0 in store. I might switch over to the Asus Strix depending on the pricing. The ACX 3.0 is the best buy out there currently though, especially considering voltage doesn't seem to limit the overclocks at the moment. That could change when custom BIOSes come out, though.

They have promos giving 30% bump.
80 bucks is an absurd for a 10 year old port of a game that's highly repetitious.
It's a remake.

Still expensive. Played the demo and it was great but not Cross Buy? What gives? It has cross save.
Looks pretty similar to me. Maybe a few new animations and items.
I consider a remake FFVII (1997) -> FFVII/Re (2018).
I've only played the demo, but all accounts I had heard was that basically the entire game was revamped in Leifthrasir. Like, the original game didn't have platforming segments, while this one does. I'd say that's pretty significant.
Though remaster might be more accurate, never really thought about the definition of "remake" before. Certainly not "port," though.
Thanks, guess I'll have to do that.

For Amazon I'm safe to grab Battlefield now if I want to take advantage of 20% on preorders during E3 right? I ask because of the one big order thing. Probably a stupid question but I want to be sure.

Yup you're safe.
Good thing most of my cards are mastercard.
Are you okay with annual fee? There's quite a good 2% cashback credit card out there like: MBNA Rewards World Elite ($89), BMO World Elite($150), Capital One World Elite($150).
Or you could get the Tangerine MC which can give your 2% cashback on your chosen 3 categories.

I guess I'll have to buy more at Costco. There is one across from my workplace and I usually walk to Walmart from my home.
No interest in a Walmart credit card. My Visa gives me 4% on groceries... That's really the bulk of my spending.
I submitted an CS form for my order saying it was a Future Shop order and I wanted to cancel it. They cancelled it the next day.
It's a pretty shit credit card. It's a waste of time getting the card.
There are far better mastercard like Tangerine MC which easily beat the card if you have a grocery category on the card. You get 2% cashback on every purchases you do at Walmart. Walmart Supercentre is considered as a grocery.

Just ordered the last two. Gf will love this. Thanks for the heads up.
Lol, nice. Yeah there were only 3 when I looked.
Has anyone had experience cancelling orders on Wamart.ca?
I ordered a copy of Watch Dogs, but then (like, 5 minutes later), decided to cancel it and go to Amazon instead just so everything is consistent. I went to cancel my order (they have some dumb 30 minute window, which I was well within), and the status changed from "order in progress" to "cancellation in progress". Okay, great.
But then the order randomly went back to "order in progress", and I couldn't cancel it. I called them and they assured me the order was cancelled, but it's super weird that it's still currently showing up as a live order on the site.
Has this happened to anyone else?

So I had a big cart of games preordered through Amazon during some sale that I can't even remember. It lists the price as one big price, but each game has an individual price underneath it that adds up to $100 more than my total, so what would I be charged for each game as it comes out?

You'll be charged the individual price for the game you see under the game, minus whatever discount deal you got (20% or 30% depending on what sale it was) They will send an e-mail when a game from the order ships detailing exactly what you pay.

what does your promo say in the right hand side? it should tell you if there was a % promo that should be easy to maths your way through.
It's sold out.
I got Soldier from EB today but that's it.
I'll pick up my 3 preorders next week.
So if a game is listed as $79.99 in your order, and you have the 30% discount, you'd pay $55.99 + tax and shipping (or no shipping if you chose free shipping). The total price on the order is everything combined with the discount, and the tally under Order Details on the right hand side gives you a better breakdown.

Reaper is available from the battle.net shop still.

amazon.COM (USA site) has kindle paperwhites (with ads) for $20.

Guitar Hero Live is $50 at Amazon. PS4 version OOS but Xbox One version is in stock. http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00W29HO38/
That's an insane price! I'm super happy with the Kobo Aura HD, but man, that price, even if it's US only, is a steal.

Luckily I got a couple to sell/gift to friends and family and one to replace my old keyboard attached kindle before it was taken down.
I almost ordered but it's so expensive
Too expensive there. I'll wait for a restock

Now I'm curious, were they available for less than $10 somewhere?
Through Blizzard it would be around $26 CAD for conversion + shipping.
