My first Amazon order with Prime - got a trial when putting in my E3 preorders. Didn't even go for 1 day shipping, surprise surprise my #FE order isn't delayed by a week like all my non-prime orders (including the ones that were supposed to have 1 day shipping). It's shipping today so I'll hopefully have it for the weekend.
Too bad my ancient Future Shop preorder got fucked up. I was still holding on to it, and it was still called 'SMT x Fire Emblem' even though the release date was updating correctly. It was part of my old Mario Kart 8 preorder - when I updated my address information they ended up giving me Mario Kart for $20 and setting SMTxFE to $65 for some reason. I didn't even notice until a few weeks ago when I checked in on the preorder. On a related note, I felt a little bit sorry for the CSR both times I called about that order as they tried to pronounce 'Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem'

Yeah. There are a few hours between when you get charged and a shipped status on the order page.
TMS (sorry, Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem) just shipped. And with that, my last Shop of the Future email.

I just realized TMS is SMT reversed.

Yeah that happened to me with Xenoblade X a good amount of months back. I'm too lazy to call Best Buy and cancel shit. The last time I did it took the rep 45 minutes to remove a single game because she didn't know what to do.
Also TMS was charged, but my delivery estimate is for June 27. I even took the Friday off and Saturday off for the game. I believed in you Best Buy

Exactly, meanwhile just strolling into a store and doing a return is pretty quick. Obviously not an option for everybody due to location, but it's fine for me.
Yep.
You want a copy? PM me and we can hash things out.
Well fuck, I completely forgot I had preordered Tokyo Mirage SE on Amazon US. Even if I am able to return it, I'll lose the shipping cost. Is this thing supposed to be rare? Maybe I can sell it.
Anyways, my final pre-order from Futureshop finally shipped. It's the regular version of Tokyo Mirage. With this, I'll be saying my final goodbyes to Futureshop. Favourite moments were trading in trading in $15 EB games for $40 credit, turning arround and buying some $25 game for $60 credit at EB. Also, those trade 1 for new release Vita games. Those were the golden years.

I do indeed, PMd.
My Shin Megami x Fire Emblem shipped from Future Shop, and I was charged full price ($64.99 + tax). But last time this happened, I received 30% back as a credit days later... so we'll see.
They used Purolator ground so I'm gonna have to drive an hour to the airport to pick it up.

They're only shipping Purolator now since Canada Post is doing stuff with workers BBYBilly confirmed on the forums.
It's nice to know with Purolator my package which was sent out today will still only make it on the 27th.. BB would've been better off using UPS or something.

I got an email from Bestbuy today saying that my old $45 Futureshop order for smt x fe couldn't go through. Now not only will I have to call them up and spend who knows how long on the phone just to fix this, but there is no chance of me getting the game until next week.
Ah, what a disaster.

Amazon's trying to say that the discount applied to the Pokemon games is correct. Did you guys that got it properly adjusted need to bring it to a manager?
Can't wait to move there in August!
So support was able to fix the E3 pre-order discount disorder. And just in time for the Steam Summer Sale!
Highlights (Will add more as I go through them: Doom 4 is $48 (40% off)
Shantae & The Pirate's Curse is $11 (50% off)

Fixed for everyone or just for your order? How did they go about fixing it? Applied the missing amount to your order or will it now automatically adjust even if game prices are further adjusted?
St. Jean Baptiste?

Trackmania Turbo (PS4/XB1) is $24.99 at Amazon.
I did yes. They told me that it was a maximum of two games the promo could be applied to. I said let me talk to your manager and it was easily solved. Received 20$ promo for the missing discounts on Titanfall 2 and Pokemon
it's 60 on PS4 and 24 on Xbone... wtf
Look at "compare other offers" on the right side of the screen. It got moved down there because the Amazon copy doesn't ship as quickly.
oh snap! thanks that's the deal I was waiting for to pull the trigger on that game

So there might be a postal strike/lockout next week? Shipping just got harder...
Oh crap, back to Best Buy using Purolator again and sitting all day waiting for a package that will come between 8am and 6pm.

At work they said that wouldn't be until the first week of July? It affects us over here heavily, since patents and trade-marks and stuff depositions goes by date of post.

No idea, but my Fire Emblem shipped via Purolator so at the very least Best Buy is expecting a disruption in service now and aren't taking any chances.
Nooo, my US Zero Time Dilemma watch edition. My VLR watch edition was lost in the mail when I ordered from Amazon US years ago, so any possible mail issues now are just UGH.
Arriving Tuesday. I got an email about eligible for release date delivery.
Now I don't know if it's all copies, or if it was because mine was conveniently upgraded to Priority Shipping when my copy of FEFates SE shipping was upgraded for free (since they were in the same order).
finally after the payment failed to be processed for a second time, they asked me to place a new order while I was on the line with the CSR and she manually discounted it to $39.99
all's well that ends well I guess
but I'm not gonna get the game till Monday at the earliest cause of the delay

Crap, I didn't even think about that. I wonder what they'll do... I guess it would just be stuck? Or will they pay for UPS - particularly since they collect taxes on their end.

Toys r us has a sale on Mirrors Edge for 20 dollars off. Also has buy on get one half off on clearance items tomorrow. Including old magic tcg sets! Bought a commanders deck for 30 dollars.
Just me as far I know though i'd be happy to wrong about that. Basically, they corrected the percentages so all the games that qualified get 20% off and are discounted at their current price i.e. Sun & Moon being discounted by 20% at $49.99 each.

They're clearing out commander sets? Which ones? I might go if Boros one is on clearance

Microplay has Mirror Edge for 49.99$ for those who have those stores around.
Oh, I switched to digital for ZTD to not have to worry about that, making sure I either have SO5 or that to play Tuesday evening after work.
But yeah, prime for me, so it says arriving Tuesday since a while ago.
Ooh, yeah, no prime here though.
You did remind me though that now I'll have 999 physical, VLR digital, and ZTD physical.
I should have bought VLR physical at a point, lol.
