DEAL/PRICE ERROR (YMMV)
Target USA has Forza Horizon 3 digital for $19.99 USD. THIS WORKS IN CANADA. You have to switch back to the US site, which is counterintuitive, but then it'll let you checkout with a Canadian credit card.
No one's sure when this one will shut down (or if it's already shut down) so get your orders in fast.

Hello. Does anyone of any special deals for PS3 (any model) or Xbox S?

But it's sold out everywhere, if Sony needed every $ they could get they should make it more available.
Doesn't work with my cards. If anyone buys a spare send me a PM...

If you buy new games, want it day 1, enjoy saving time/gas in general (some people enjoy in store shopping more than others), and live in a major centre its worth it
Super good deals, I saw that thread and was able to order! I was not too sure if I want the VIP pass. Too late now for that decision!

They should send it. I used a Canadian billing address and got the delay email but shortly got the game code afterwards
20-30 minutes.

Yep, just received about 10 of those emails. Sweet!

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
*shrug* I had to force myself to finish UC4. Tomb Raider was a lot more fun throughout. Sorry my opinion offends you that much.

I think it's fairly unanimously agreed, tomb raider is more fun, but uncharted has the better story. At least that's my stance.
The new Tomb Raiders are divisive (or, maybe it's that the people who hate it really hate it, and do so loudly). I really like both of them. If you played the reboot and liked it, there's a strong chance you'll like Rise.
I think Uncharted 4 was the first in the series to really deliver on story, and it's far better than Tomb Raider in that department. I wouldn't say that -- by video game standards -- there's anything terribly wrong with the ROTR story. Gameplay wise, it really depends on your tastes, but I probably found more consistent enjoyment in Tomb Raider.... but Uncharted does have moments that are incredible.

I've been trying to get better at French while I'm here but everyone switches to English even when I initiate in French

My Horizon 3 order got cancelled too. Sucks, but that's life. Sorry to everyone else who put an order in and got it cancelled.

So I ordered a Blu-ray from AmiAmi and shipped it using the registered Air Small Packet option. Total value of the item is ~100CAD
What are my odds that I'll get screwed over by customs fee and other charges?
I've only started ordering items from Japan very recently, and haven't had that experience before.

gawd I would have loved that cheap Forza Horizon 3
that's the shipping I picked for my Cordelia figure and I made it out safe (no customs)

It's always going to be luck of the draw. I've never ordered from AmiAmi but I have ordered from a bunch of places in Japan and Hong Kong over the years (Yesasia, CDJapan, HMV, etc.) and not once have I been hit with customs. That said, I usually get unregistered air mail shipping or cheaper, and I've heard the more expensive options might get searched more often. But I think you'll probably be fine.

Only preorders and new releases (upto 2 weeks if its the same policy as US Amazon)
If you dont mind me asking, which games are you looking for specifically?
The Target one came out to $68 CDN or from a different source?
I guess I'm waiting till Black Friday!

Guys, need quick help. When does Amazon charge you for a pre-order? When it ships or when you place the order? Many thanks! I got the Prime trial and am contemplating ordering a BUNCH of games right now, some pre-orders. Thanks.
EDIT: Is it only good for pre-orders for games coming out within 2 weeks?????

I'll buy one of those Forza codes if you have extras!!!
Zelda: TP HD, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (missed that clearance sale at The Source) and Kirby Planet Robobot.
Nah, preordered it last week for that much by getting some digital Xbox gift cards off the Singapore MS store. Then switching my location to Singapore and getting the game for 70 SGD from the Singapore app store which was about 68 CAD. Worked for other GAFers from UK and Europe where their digital version is also overpriced. You still own the game even after you switch regions back.
A bit of jumping thru hoops but no way was I gonna be paying full price lol
Good call, haha.

Rogers just sent me an email about shomi getting cancelled and apparently they're giving 6 months of Netflix as consolation. Not bad but Im still gonna call them to give them an earful.
