Looks like my Amazon order for No Man's Sky still applies. The link on the order goes to the product page just fine now. I almost removed it a few week ago thinking it would probably be a digital-only release. Good thing I didn't, saves me almost $35.

No sign of the No Man's Sky PS4 LE on any Canadian websites yet or in store at EB?
Ontario/QuebecGAF: do any of you have Zazeen TV? We're thinking of switching to it, but I can't find any recent impressions of the service. We're already with Distributel for Internet, and I've had a positive experience with them, but I don't want to switch if the picture quality is going to be crap.
The other alternative is Bell Fibe, which is more expensive but you kind of know what you're getting.

Or do yo umean the other LE, with the steelbook and whatnot?
I don't know about that one.

DoA? I ate the $10 shipping too, though it seems there should be some sort of discount.

Yup. Even with the shipping still cheaper then buying from PA.

No Man's Sky is back on PSN and its $79.99 CDN.

Glad I pre-ordered when the original $59.99 listing came up.

True. Either way, glad I picked up a Steam copy. I wanted GOG, but the dollar conversion is nuts.
only problem with the price is the bizarre 170% exchange rate
the US price is totally fair

For the $87.99 I am getting it for it might be worth it.

It does look pretty good...
And will that starfox "boxset" be the only retail sku available?
The Elite

I think it's a first print sku so we should get it for our preorders.
Yep expensive AF.

So many Pokemon 3DS bundles on Kijiji. Outrageous prices. Amazon's sellers are even worse.
It's ridiculous

Still no LE up on Canadian stores yet? Been checking Best Buy and Amazon all day
This is the scenario pretty much every time Nintendo releases a new special edition 3DS. Crazy.
Theoretically you should be able to get it for a fair bit cheaper if you wait to E3 to order it via Best Buy or Amazon -- assuming they have some sort of preorder sale.
If Amazon runs 30% off again, that would make the game $56+tax
That'd at best make the game $63 after HST for the PS4 version which IMO isn't as alluring as $66 on PC, but it's better than $80 at least.

The Division got shipped early, should get it tomorrow :O
Yeah, they were pretty bad. I remember last year I ordered some amiibo and they just threw it inside a box without any padding as well. I got the same template email.

My copy of The Division for Xbox just shipped, but I decided I'm going to get the PC version. Anyone in the GTA interested in buying it for $80 flat? Save the tax!
Does it come in its own retail-style package? If it doesn't have the standard amiibo packaging, maybe not.
Doesn't really mention exchanges but I assume it'll work as long as there is some in stock. If not, I'll just refund and get it off Amazon. Never buying from Toys R Us online anymore at least. Well unless it's something that won't get easily damaged
Like seriously, how does an online store not ship things with any form of shipping protection. So dumb.

Is there a holiday next week? Why is Best Buy shipping games so early?

Not that I know of. Figures it would happen for a game where I have to wait until Monday for the servers to be up lol. Oh well, I'll have TP to keep me busy.

Oh well. lol
If you called in for a discount, then the credit is applied a few days later.
Not sure if this is the place for Canadian PC prices talk, but there have been a lot of SSD sales recently... but with TLC NAND instead of MLC NAND. Is it worth the small price discount or should I just wait until the other MLC NAND models come down in price?
I keep hearing horror stories about TLC NAND sequential write being slower than mechanical hard drives :/

So a few days ago I ordered a Logitech G910 Orion Spark mechanical keyboard from amazon.ca.
The Keyboard is supposed to come with a The Division game voucher but it was missing.
So I take it to Amazon.ca CSR to see if they can either send me a code or send me a new unit with a code in it (I believe the codes are included in the box).
The CSR starts a return process but then this happens :
Now I'm confused... Does it really mean they're sending me a second Keyboard free of charge? This can't be right,

If your interested in selling either one lemme know maybe we can work something out.
Gratz btw and yes they are. My friend gets this lucky all the time.
Hm, Canada Post has my TPHD est. delivery for Monday... hope that changes tomorrow morning...
It's not that I need Twilight Princess HD tomorrow, but I would like Twilight Princess HD tomorrow...
Of course if I don't get it, oh well. I've got Fire Emblem to play, and a cosplay to work on.
... oh and work at my job too I guess...
Also, anyone take a look at the SNES VC on n3DS?
$11.29 for games (I imagine Earthbound will be $12.29...)
$7.99 USD, which means at the moment (assuming we don't drop again) they're priced higher than the conversion.

Yup.. I mentioned this in the big thread and it was just overlooked. It's always Nintendo stuff overpriced.
Guess we need to just start complaining about it more because there is no excuse to charge that much over conversion for something digital.
Something similar but different happened for me last year, for Stella Glow.
They sent a replacement but some weird stuff happened, and it got sent back to the courier. The CSR already refunded my payment so once they sorted out the copy that was sent back to the courier it said the return item is received. I already got my money back and I still had the first copy on hand, so lol.
oof... and they're still all $7.99 on Wii U, right? yet another reason to ignore the n3DS versions...

I ordered The Division from Amazon and got free basic shipping it says
Id considering just waking into Gamestop and paying the $10 more then Amazon to buy it if Im not going to get it on Tuesday.
How accurate is that? Im in Hamilton so I normally get shipments form Amazon quite fast but I dont know.

Depends on what you order I think.
I've had iPods come from China I believe, but the MBP I ordered in November came from California. Pretty sure I got it in two days.
