Has anyone ordered any games from Amazon when they weren't in stock and the restocking estimate was 1-2 months? I've got Sunset Overdrive and MGS V and both of them are saying they will restock in 1-2 months. I would have assumed that games would be easier to restock than most other items, is this estimate usually accurate? I'm in no rush to get the order, just curious if it will actually take 1-2 months.

Wait so can I trade my PS3, Xbone, and 8 games for $200 off?

Wow fuck me it ends on my next payday. Gonna scrap go find some $8 games then I guess
Twice, both shipped within a couple of weeks. Metal Gear is rumored to be getting some sort of re-release though so it being discontinued isn't unthinkable.

It seems 5 games maximum, but if we can trade in multiple consoles that would make this very interesting for me.

8$ List: https://www.ebgames.ca/Views/Locale/Content/PDF/tradeoffers/8-dollar-trade-value-en.pdf?20160707
I did that trade-in earlier today, traded Division, AC Syndicate, Dead Rising 3, Black ops 2 and Republique, that was 100$, then I got 198$ (includes an extra Edge Platinum bonus of 16.50$) trade in value for the a Xbox One 500 Gb and a 50$ off on the console (499.99$-50$).
Total for a 2 TB Xbox One S: 151.99$+tx

Fuck, they better restock because it was only $20.

I wonder if you can use that promo towards one of the 500gb S consoles. ~$50 upgrade could be tempting.

Price has gone down fast lol!
I do think this game is better suited as ps+ title though. I'll wait.
No idea on EB games but BB has it for $35.

I imagine in the 30-35 range, you should be able to sell on kijiji for 45-60.
I sold my copy 2 weeks ago for 60
Not sure if it's a deal or not but Amazon.ca has World of Final Fantasy PS4 on pre-order for $59.99. Best Buy has it for $79.99 and Amazon.com has it for $59.99 USD (which should translate to at least $75 CAD I imagine).
The pre-order prices have been all over the place for both the Vita and PS4 version so I'm not really sure how much of a deal it is.

Pretty sure the ps4 version has been 59.99 for awhile, order from awhile back adjusted already.
Side note, has anyone got their bestbuy shipping info for No Man's Sky yet? Normally it's in by now.
Thanks!
No luck on Kijiji for me with this game, had it listed for a while

Fuck, the Xbox One S deal sucks now. I should've bitten earlier.
Did the same. Paid around the same and traded in my Kinect at the same time. I spread some of the credit onto "no mans sky." Feels good to purge a lot of stuff I just wasn't using.
The fiancé loves the look of the new box in the entertainment center. Glad I saw this promo and made the upgrade. Its a slick looking console and the lack of brick keeps things a bit tidier behind the unit. Here's hoping Scorpio has a similar form factor.
Considering the 10% extra credit and $50 off a One S deals stack, this new one might actually be better.

I decided to buy it. 15 bucks for multiple versions of the game and the extra character dlc, not too bad.
Until it becomes PlayStation plus of course.

I saw it mentioned here a few pages back, but has anyone here done the Koodo Manitoba plan deal outside of Manitoba?
Curious on how it went for you guys and if it's worth the hassle.

The Last of Us Remastered is pretty rare to see price drops on but it's $19.99 in the Shopper's Drug Mart (Pharmaprix in QC) flyer starting today:

http://flyers.smartcanucks.ca/canada/shoppers-drug-mart-west-flyer-august-6-to-12/single/7
It worked out the same way for me, except that I got 5% more credit because I have Edge Onyx. Came to $162 and change after tax.
I was a bit peeved since I had called customer service and they told me that trading my 500GB XBONE and 5 games would get me the S for $130 +tax. Didn't fight it too hard to save an extra $15. The EB Games employee said it would have been less than $130 had I traded a 1TB XBONE.
The console is really nice. The small size and internal power supply are a huge win IMO.

Agreed. Thats a big flaw and coupled with the $499 price not sure how well this model will actually sell. The base with halo and the 1tb madden are excellent value.

How? You only get the $50 trade in off for the console plus an extra ten percent.
Right?

Using the example above, it sounds like $198 for the console with platinum ($181 without), and $50 off the purchase, so $248 (or $231) in value?
Pretty close to the $225 switch style.
Tho anyone feel free to correct the math here.
Yeah, that's what i figure too. The 10% bonus isn't much, but That $50 discount makes it a better deal.
The $50 off is on top of the trade-in value of your console. It's not "just" $50. I agree it's confusing though.

*Head spinning*
1. So trading in an Xbone 500GB OG, with ebGames Platinum, would straight up give me $248 towards the Purchase of an XBone S?
2. Then I can in addition trade 5x games from the $8 list for an additional $100? Does platinum boost that at all?
3. Is there a way to trade in so I don't have to pay tax? I seem to remember that being possible somehow but QC taxes being so high it seems appealing...

Just look at their promo on the site, it lays it out in detail. Call them if you need more info, you'll get it quicker than here.

I'd be more tempted by the S if I didn't already own the gorgeous white Sunset Overdrive edition OG. Ah well.
That Pikachu WiiU controller arrived yesterday - haven't played any games with it yet but first impressions are incredibly poor. It feels cheap, really light and loud clicky buttons. I can't imagine paying more than the $11 I did.

This will be on PS+ within 2 years.
That is not a Knack type joke, I really believe that it will.
So I was out today and on the way back I decided to stop by ebgames to switch my 500gb preorder to the halo bundle. They didn't have the skus listed.
In other news I got to try out the PSVR at another ebgames and liked it a lot. Had no issues, so definitely going to keep my preorder for that.
And yeah, thanks for the suggestion Kyolux. Tried everything you said and totally agree.

It's a sidescroller, it's contractually obligated to be!

New 3DS is $199.99 at Shoppers today only. Also 20x the points.
990x20=39,800. 38,000 points is $60 off a future purchase, or you can save it for a higher redemption level.

Glad to see that you enjoyed it too!
Did they even check their own website?
https://www.ebgames.ca/Xbox%20One/Games/724478/xbox-one-s-halo-collection-500gb-console-bundle
Like I said before, there's no such thing as a non-bundled version. Look at the product number of the Halo bundle on the website and compare it to the preorder on your receipt. They're the same thing. They just updated the original listing on their site. If you preordered a 500GB (or 1TB), you're getting a bundle.
you're right!So I don't gotta go in store to switch it, unless they made a mistake when they entered it on the website. I'll keep an eye on it to see if they change it.
Oh good, Azure Striker Gunvolt Double Pack was added to Amazon.ca
If the PS4 Neo is unveiled to come out this year, I'll probably cancel my PSVR preorder and get that instead. There's no real harm in waiting a few months for PSVR. Wait for a strong set of software, some deals in games, and a better outlook on if the thing will actually be a success.
Fuck....
Are we absolutely sure that this $39.99 3DS game will stay that price?
