After doing the math even with the 20% off preorders and the free release day shipping Prime still isn't worth it for me because I've been buying less and less games each year and usually only buy them during deals.

If Best Buy introduced something like the US one i'd be more inclined to sub to that.


I do wish I would've read I needed prime when item ships before I cancelled my E3 Pokemon order but life lesson of reading all the terms slow.

 

[i-Jest]

Or $90 in ON.

The truth hurts....so damn much.

The appropriate counter would be Gamer's Club Unlocked.

Can Bestbuy Canada even afford to implement and maintain this? I's love it if they could.

I'd love it too, but then I remembered how they now refuse to ship pretty much every niche game to Québec, and that's at least 50% of what I play. :/

So has anyone else confirmed the lower Amazon prime price is applied to the E3 orders? It hasn't updated on mine but when I emailed they said:

Hello from Amazon.ca.

I completely understand your concern in this regard.

Whenever you pre-order an item, the price we charge when we ship it to you will be the lowest price offered by Amazon.ca between the time you placed your order and the price the item sells for when it's released.

There is no need to worry once your order ships you will be charged only the lowest price of the item and also I confirm that still receive the E3 20% off promo for the order.

So I'd assume it'll fix itself but after they've already charged me extra for E3 orders I don't really know if I trust them.

Edit:I guess people determined a couple pages ago it doesn't stack.

No. Even the pages for the games carefully state "Your price at checkout is _____" which I believe is done to simply mean it's won't be applied until you're checking out, and won't be applied to pre-existing orders to prevent stacking.

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

I felt like the gunplay parts were a downgrade after 2 and 3. It's like the game wanted you to sneak but kill everyone at the same time. The exploration was fine I guess and the story interesting and the ending was a neat pay-off, but other than that.. It was just average.

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.

RotTR is far superior to UC4.

NaughtyDog should just get in The movie business if they have no interest in making video games.

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

Thanks for all the feedback. I know the VR is probably something that's just fluff that you do once for a short bit and not the main event. Still looking forward to explore the mansion.

We get a NES Mini pre-order price yet? TRU in US has it listed as $60 USD.

Not yet. Sad that I have a Famicom mini preordered a couple of hours after it was announced but still nothing on the NES mini more than 2 months after it was announced.

 

[poodpick]

This 20% of games for prime members is amazing. I'm on a student prime account so I only pay 39$ a year

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.

https://i.imgur.com/nY4AeoEm.jpg

lol, I'm actually in Montreal right now and have been for about two weeks and have yet to try Poutine. There's a burger place near the metro station I get off at that's pretty good and offers Poutine, maybe I'll try it tonight =P

I only half-joke about the shredded Mozzarella because I think every place I've been to in Ontario has just thrown some shredded Mozzarella on top. The only time I've gotten anything close to authentic is when I went to Smoke's Poutenerie but unless you get the basic one you're not going to get cheese curds.

Go to La Banquise. Thank me later.

All this poutine talk got me craving one too now but my only option is Harveys or a momnpop joint that uses cheddar cheese (but a lot more fries compared to other places)

I can honestly say poutine is one of the best things in the world Canada.

I use to eat too much of it. I try to keep it down to 4 to 6 times a year now.

Oh, speaking of which, this summer I tried in Montreal at a place where everything is 5 dollars.. it's called Cinco I think?.. a poutine where they replace the fries with tempura green beans. It's actually really good.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Schwartz's had pretty good poutine when I visited Montreal. Costco's isn't bad either.

New Prime pricing works on Darksiders Warmastered! Woo $16 is a steal

You meant week rather than year right?

 

[Kyolux]

Nope, I keep it down to one every few months if I can help it.

Also, Smoke's.. at least the one in downtown Ottawa I find pretty meh.

Really happy about this 20% discount on pre-orders. Just cancelled my Pokemon Sun pre-order and pre-ordered it again to save $10.

 

[bigboss370]

Okay why the hell is the Playstation VR priced at $549.99 here? It should be $499.99 just like the PS4 Pro shouldn't it, since they're both $399 in the US? what gives?

Wait what. Smokes doesnt put cheese curds if you get one of the fancier options? What the hell is the point then?

WTF?

Yes, for at least a year now. It's why I got a copy of GR remaster, because I felt it was only worth it if I bought it from a friend with Prime US.

lol, I guess that's one extra perk for Canada. Twitch Prime!

You may not get cheese (or gravy) at all depending on what you pick.

I still have so much to learn. (Just moved here in August)

Good lord. Why move to Quebec? Weren't you living in Winnipeg?

 

[bigboss370]

who does?

 

[DVCY201]

Sony. Also VR is an enthusiast item, they can get away with gouging and make maximum profit from people guaranteed to get it

 

[JazzmanZ]

So is Amazon Prime actually worthwhile now or what

I wonder how long it will take for surplus World Cup of Hockey Team Canada jerseys to go on discount as stores try to get rid of them. I'd like to pick one up for the same price as that Leaf jersey. Or less than $100.

Grondins-Deschambault. Midway between Quebec City and Trois Rivières. North bank of the river is a 6 minute walk from my house.

Went in on the Xbox One S upgrade deal when I found out the 500gig also got a $50 price cut.

Not bad for $11.50 and 5 games; two of which I got back (though your mileage may vary on Fallout 4, guess it's not really supposed to qualify but the stores in my region were giving it out anyways).

It's cynicism to say $80 =/= free? Calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down when nothing is emotional in my post, come back with an actual point rather then pure entitlement to think you "deserve" 20% off for free all the time.

 

[TheSpecialOne]

NaughtyDog should just get in The movie business if they have no interest in making video games.

As far as terrible opinions go, this is near the top of the pile. Not only is rotr extremely boring, it's story is also a joke. Apparently it's a graphical showcase yet I'm still waiting for those "impressive" visuals to show up. Rotr is significantly worse than the reboot and that was average.

 

[Stage On]

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.

.

It's the 5 games to break even thing that gets me since you essentially have to be paying near full price for them. 20% off an $80 game doesn't save you that much, especially once tax is thrown in.

Kind of hard to justify paying that much with how fast prices are collapsing for most games.

Did the pricing work out like you laid out in your previous post? Debating doing this myself with my 500 gb console, no kinect.
