The same guy who's selling the N3DS for $325 is selling a Fire Emblem Fates SE for $250.
How much more is that?

Wow...
They have also been cancelling people's orders for the 20th Anniversary Pokemon 3ds bundle. At least from the last round of pre-orders/orders. Hopefully they don't cancel on you.

I've bought exactly one game since the price hike: Megaman Legacy Collection 3DS, just because I figured the special edition with the Amiibo would be impossible to find later on. I'm not planning on buying any more until the price evens out.

So to those that got The Division from Best Buy, did your order include the exclusive pin? Mine didn't

My order says it will be coming in a separate order. Check the order status page.
So I asked Shuhei Yoshida about No Man's Sky LE for Canada. He got another marketing guy to double check for us in the great white north. Apparently not one Canadian store picked it up. So it looks like Canada will NOT be getting the LE. Man the LE is the nicest I have seen in a long time. That Art book and steel-book look so nice!!
Why wouldn't a Canadian retailer want it? Seems very weird to me. Oh well, America here I come!

EDIT: I have been calling the Limited Edition, the "Collectors Edition" They are very different from one another. I apologize.
The Limited Edition for the PS4 is NOT coming to Canada.

Ugh
Who can I preorder from in the US, then?
It's great to be in Canada these days.
-Games are stupidly priced, even if it makes sense from an exchange perspective. $80+ for games is just silly. I don't know how some people can afford it.
-Games, and certain editions, don't get stocked. Still no reasonably priced Gravity Rush..
-Waiting for games to hit $40 is hit and miss. More often then not the store doesn't have near enough copies for all those who want it. (hate myself for skipping over Mad Max PS4 for $30. Wtf was I thinking!)

Doesn't say anything about the pin for me. I'll just email them about it and see what's up.
Wow, no one picked it up? Completely disappointing.
Hope they do not cancel. If they do, anyone know how Amazon refunds a gift card that was applied? Used a $25 GC on the Mega Man bundle.

Wow thats really disappointing to hear about No Man's Sky.
Ugh

It is still available from Gamestop.

Was down for this until I saw it was $20 for shipping. Yikes.
Thanks for the link, but yeah. I'm not willing to pay that much of a premium.

Considering the demand for these CEs lately, that's strange. Even a small purchase would make sense.
If there is a push I wonder if we will see an allocation.
Maybe they didn't know about the Limited Edition. We need to push for it on Twitter guys. Right?
They did know since it was offered, but nobody picked it up.
Nope.
Damn. I was hoping I can use my USD to pay for the No Man's Sky CE.
I guess most retailers figured it would be a hard sale with the state our dollar is in and that it wouldn't be worth the effort for the small number of people interested. It is a shame. I wonder if this will continue to be a trend
Admittedly I haven't looked too hard but I noticed that too.
Only the Collector's Edition has gone up.

This isn't exactly surprising. It disappeared after the first stock is exhausted or something
there was a bunch kicking around my local best buy last week
ive never not seen them in stock, outside of release week
Welp, I'll just buy the standard version when it goes on sale for a decent price. Besides, it's what $79 USD? That's probably between $115 and $120 CAD, I don't know the actual conversion. The premium would have scared away most buyers interested getting the game with extra goodies anyway. I guess retailers thought it just wasn't worth it to stock them if the returns were going to be to low to justify buying stock.

Same, saw at 2 EBs last week.
Rare games, always ask at the counter. Undoubtedly someone looking for a buck will trade in even the rarest of games.
It's been 10-15 many times at various retailers
What.....shit.....Guess I'll wait then.
I've never seen it below $25. Where was it for $10? I've seen keys sold for that much but not retail product.
I don't know about discontinuation but it was on sale for $20 at best buy and amazon last week and it sold out pretty quickly, but at bestbuy the price is back up to 29.99 (still sold out), so it seems like they still have plans to sell it/may get more stock in.
My friend bought earphones from their retail location before with no issue. I'd like to think the website is on the up and up.
Anyone else care to chime in?
Ahhhh factory direct. I forgot they existed lol. Had no problems with their store before so I'd assume their online front is legit as well.

I've bought refurbished Logitech headsets for my dad so he could use them for Skype and a laptop AC adapter from them in the past. The Logitechs we garbage and broke within a few weeks and the replacement had poor sound quality in the left ear. The AC adapter was new, the brand was Targus or something like that, broke within 6 months.
Those were cheap though, I definitely wouldn't buy something like a tablet from them unless it's a really good price. At that point you may as well buy one those RCA android tablets Walmart carries for like $50 or so.

They were like 70 during boxing week, but who knows if they'll go back down to that.

bought plenty of stuff from their retail store throughout the years, so i'd say that they're pretty legit.
