I feel like the 20% is only intended for games, and not accessories or systems.

... Though it does apply to the LEGO Dimensions sets it seems.

I am wondering... would it be simpler to have all of my pre-orders (Prime 20% off) in the same order? am I at risk (like having my order cancelled) if something happens?

If zelda NX has the same msrp what is the chance that companies would let you switch and keep the same price as your discounted wii u version?

Well, missed out on that $0 64gig iPhone SE I posted about a few weeks ago, but currently Rogers is offering me a $90 64gig 6S. Pretty tempted.

I'll probably cancel Titanfall 2, Rise of Tomb Raider, & Mafia III

Mafia III = I just started Yakuza 4. I only have time for one type of these games.
Titanfall 2 = Yea...I'll take BF1.
Rise of Tomb Raider = Will be on sale so fast

What are the chancesthis Prime 20% off thing forces Best Buy to bring GCU here? There's no way Best Buy can compete with Amazon now with 79.99 v. 63.99 and release day delivery, and convenience of online shopping.

No idea. Maybe they'll semi-give up on games instead and focus on other stuff? I dunno. Anyone know what % of BB's business relies on games in Canada?

Weird. Did Zelda: Breath of the Wild take a price drop on Amazon at some time recently?

I was just poking through my preorders when I noticed the display price on Zelda was sitting at $56. Because I ordered it in this year's sale, there's no additional discount, so if it is a game I end up deciding to keep I'd probably get it on NX.... but could be great news for anyone who preordered it in an older 30% off sale ($39!)

I checked on camelcamelcamel, and there's no record there of it dropping below $70 anytime in the past year.

Well, I mean, the GCU is a subscription, so they would make money on that. Amazon makes back some of that money lost on the Prime membership as well.
Though yea Best Buy is in a pretty bad spot I guess.

My current pre-order list:

2016
World of Final Fantasy
Rez Infinite
Shantae: Half Genie Hero
Pokemon Sun/Moon
Final Fantasy XV
The Last Guardian

2017
Yakuza 0
NieR Automata
Horizon Zero Dawn
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Ever Oasis
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
Mass Effect: Andromeda

20XX
Kingdom Hearts 3
Final Fantasy VII Remake

I'll actually be getting two copies of The Last Guardian: one collector's one regular. But Amazon won't let me cancel online the regular edition because of the old E3 promo, and I'd rather not provoke them by trying to cancel it through chat. So I'll probably be selling a $60 copy to whoever is nearby and wants it.

My fall is pretty decent... until Black Friday.

From Amazon, I'm getting:
Gears of War 4 (October 11)
World of Final Fantasy (October 25)
Titanfall 2 (October 28)
Playstation 4 Pro (November 10)
Watch Dogs 2 (November 15)
Final Fantasy XV (November 29)
The Last Guardian (December 6)

Then I'm getting Forza Horizon 3, Mafia III, Battlefield 1, Star Ocean 5, Far Cry Primal and Mirror's Edge Catalyst on Black Friday.

I'm so glad some things moved to early 2017, it was going to be a bloodbath if they didn't.

Where can I pick up the physical version of Dragon Quest Builders for Vita? I never realized how much I wanted this game till I after the demo. Do not see the Vita version for preorder on any of the usual sites (EB Games, Amazon, or Best Buy). Thanks.

Man, I cut down a bunch of my pre-orders lately in an attempt to cut my spending somewhat (and partially because if Amazon no longer takes the discount off the lowest pre-order price, some games aren't worth pre-ordering anymore).

2016
World of Final Fantasy
Gears of War 4 (on the bubble, might be cancelled)
Watch Dogs 2 (on the bubble, might be cancelled)
Final Fantasy XV
Gravity Rush 2
The Last Guardian

Might throw Civilization VI onto that pile, but there's a certain temptation to wait a few years for the inevitable GOTY edition with all the expansions.

2017+
Yakuza 0
Persona 5 (x4 in various formats, I need to cancel some of these!)
Horizon: Zero Dawn
Mass Effect: Andromeda (might cancel and re-order through cdkeys/GMG)
South Park: The Fractured But Whole (might cancel and re-order through cdkeys/GMG)
Nier Automata (might cancel for Steam version)
Detroit: Become Human
Scalebound (might cancel because bleh)
Final Fantasy VII Remake

I feel like in my old age I've become a lot more selective about what I'll buy and play, and not even for the usual reasons like work or family. Like, hurray, yet another Battlefield game. I'm not sure I care anymore. If you'd told me two years ago that the FPS I'd most consider buying this fall is Titanfall 2, I'd think you didn't know me at all, and yet here we are.

I have every Vita game that's available on Amazon preordered and all the VGP exclusives. Went to a pretty sizable videogame swap meet at Waterloo recently and there were less than 10 Vita games there. Buying all of them new so I don't miss out. I mean, there can't be much more of them coming right? Right?

Aside from Vita games I also got on preorder:
2016
Battlefield 1
Dragon Quest Builders
World of Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy XV
Gravity Rush 2

2017+
Horizon Zero Dawn
Mass Effect Andromeda
Zelda
God of War
Spider Man
Days Gone
Persona 5
Nier Automata
