Yep, it'll also suck for games where they put up a high placeholder list price and then just discount them to the correct price instead of updating the list price to the correct price.

If I were you, I would just try out all the demos before committing to a purchase considering you still have two weeks after launch to get them at 20% off.
Yeah, that's the reasonable thing to do.
But I have like 11 people to entertain, and I want those games if I'm going to get them during my vacations. Here lies my issue.. Otherwise, wouldn't have any issue with waiting.
But yeah, digital as the advantage of me keeping the headset on for switching game.
Yeah Amazon Student is $40. I don't play as much video games and I don't usually shop online so I don't know if I should subscribe.
Only games on my radar is pokemon moon and Breath of the Wild, but I've had that preordered from best buy for like 3 years now LOL. My brother is looking at getting a ps4 or xbone but we need to find a good deal on one of those first.
For any fashion gaffers in Toronto, Uniqlo finally opened a store at eaton centre

Woolly World is now sold with a Yarn Yoshi amiibo for $40 (down from $70 for a comparable bundle before). If there's a loose copy it might be less.
I haven't seen Pokken on sale anywhere since launch.

Checked my wish list. Doesn't look like it applies to books.

Jesus, the cynicism. You expect 20% off all the time for free plus day and date delivery? Why?

How much is Two-Day shipping? $4?
That's about $20 a game at $79.99. More if you order an LE like Persona. At four games Prime pays for itself and with Two-Day shipping you will usually get your game on release date if not a day later.
That's damn good. If you're ordering four games or more at $79.99 a game before discount, it's worth it.

Does this apply for Amazon PrimenStudent? Or is it just regular Amazon Prime?
In my case, I don't see the point of getting Prime right now, all my preorders are discounted already. I'd get things in a more timely fashion, but meh.
If we don't get E3 deals next year, and Prime becomes my only method of getting discounted preorders, then I might consider it.

SweetPrime Student is still counted as Prime, so yes.

Just a friendly reminder...
Amazon Student = Amazon Prime at 50% off for people who live in Quebec. So ~40$ for Amazon Prime for 18 months...
EDIT: The Amazon Student deal only applies to those who never did the trial before.
Why Quebec specifically?
Quebec has different laws. It's why they can't get a one month free Prime trial but instead get 13 months for the price of 12 when they sign up.
I still have so much to learn. (Just moved here in August)

Ah gotcha, I was looking at it from the viewpoint of someone who already has Prime (plus it's Student, so 50% off).
So if you don't have Prime then BestBuy is the better deal, but if you do have Prime then go with Amazon.
I have some pre-orders that were announced after E3 such as Rise of the Tomb Raider that I should probably start switching over.

What's the best brand of cheese for making the best poutine?
firehawk12
Subete no aware
Well, it might be worth it if BestBuy doesn't respond and E3 deals are dead. You basically have to order 5 games to break even, and then you start "profiting" after.
I suppose the other thing is that everyone is raising their free shipping threshold, so there's that.
I don't care about release date delivery though, so my criticism is and has always been that Amazon Prime is shit in Canada compared to the US/Europe. No music streaming, no free Kindle books, no Prime video (instead they sold all their shows to Rogers or Bell or whatever). I think AMERICAN Prime is a great value, even without the student discount. Canadian Prime? Not so much.
yes, but that is too good of a deal to happen in Canada....
Shredded Mozzarella, duh
Curd only bruh
No. Just... no.
If you're not gonna use curds, at least use cheddar. And don't shred it. Cube it.
Curd is definitely best and traditional.
But my local pizza restaurant makes a pretty bad ass poutine with a thick layer of pizza blend cheese baked on top.

I have been eating too much mozzarella lately.

Controversy alert: It's more fun to play than Uncharted 4 at least.
I would hope so. I had a really hard time pushing through UC4, and I loved UC2 and liked UC3 a lot (and UC1 to a certain extent).

I feel the same about games 1-3 but haven't played the 4th yet. What turned you off?

Great game but I doubt that the VR stuff will be the reason to get it... still worth getting it and just try the VR stuff anyway since you'll already have a PSVR.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
RotTR is far superior to UC4.
NaughtyDog should just get in The movie business if they have no interest in making video games.
Thanks! Grabbing an used copy from one of the EBs nearby.

That's a bit harsh but RotTR is getting way too much hate on GAF(from people who never played it...).
I finished it just this week. Loved every minute of it. The extra exploration (vs the first game) was much welcome and the length of the game felt just right, didn't outstay its welcome
Graphically it was gorgeous too
