Holy shit that's a good deal
Is this online only?
Nothing will beat the New Galaxy Style New Nintendo 3DS XL in terms of stupid names.
The lime green does look nice though

Wow that fire emblem artbook is very impressive.
I just pay for shipping to make sure I get it day 1 when I really want a game right away so I'm not bothered much by it being late, I just don't like that they're charging me a week + in advance. That's not cool.
I received mine yesterday but haven't opened it yet. Can't wait, it's a super substantial book!
No kidding

Niiiice, I remember seeing Tokyo Mirage Sessions at one of mine. Maybe I'll check that out soon. There's some reaaally generous Wii U owner in my area. :V
EDIT: Three holds. Cool they have it. Guess I'll put my name on there.
So, Intelcom, huh? I saw one of their vans in my neighbourhood today.
Later in the day, I got a shipping notification that some Lego I ordered this morning is going to arrive via those guys. So I guess it begins. (Also, scheduled to arrive tomorrow... so I guess that's potentially cool.)

In my situation it was day 1 shipping also, I have Prime - the same is sold out.
Yeah that's really annoying.
I had that happen to me with the Day 1 Edition of Dark Souls and I ended up getting them to switch to the standard edition so I could still get it day 1. I'm still a bit annoyed that I don't have the soundtrack even now hah. How they managed to not have stock for me when I pre-ordered I think probably the day it was first available I'll never know.
Lets be honest though, as long as Amazon has the best prices for pre-orders we'll all still buy from them. I will say that I have been buying a lot less non gaming stuff from them because of all this BS though. If something is the same price somewhere else I buy there instead. Amazon's shipping and customer service is garbage now.

Intelcom dice:
[1] If you're really lucky, they'll find their way to your door.
[2-3] They may just leave it at your apartment door. Risky, but it sure beats...
[4-6] Claims to attempt delivery but never rings your apartment
It's to the point that I feel it's worth printing your apartment buzzer code in the second line on your Amazon shipping address, just to give them no excuse.

Fucking hell I would be all over this if I wasn't stingy with my money right now

Probably a dumb question but are there any Wii U games that use the wiimote? Or just Wii games?
Congrats!

Yes there are, but only as an optional controller, since the console does not ship with one.

Ah, it's just a Wiimote.

UPS delivered Battlefield today. The driver knocked (lightly), left the game on the porch, and hightailed it back to his truck. It's like he was playing a prank or something.
Yeah, you're safe.

the $379 PS4 slim bundle with NBA and UC4 is tempting, but im wondering if it'll be slightly cheaper come black friday?
Yeah, maybe. It could be $30 cheaper with 2 games on it.
LOL
I had my BF1 (via Amazon) copy delivered yesterday by Intelcom.No company courrier van and the delivery agent was 2 hours late on their ETA however he the guy was nice and unlike Post Canada he rang my doorbell.
20x points day at SDM, so it's sort of 'a better deal' already, unless you're dying for NBA and can't be bothered with points.
Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness has dropped another $10 and is now $39.99 on Amazon.ca

Got it for around that price thanks to Amazon's E3 sales and I still regret it. Had 30$ trade in value though so I didn't lose out too much.
I have a feeling it will gradually go lower, seems to be in freefall mode. It reviewed badly which I don't understand, I really enjoyed it.
Due to the blow-dryer effect of playing any demanding games on my PS4, I'm seriously considering trading for the Slim (though if Nintendo would reveal the Switch price I could determine whether I could afford to wait and upgrade to the Pro)...
ANYWAY, my chief concern is ensuring everything I've got is properly backed up -- is there anything, other than maybe game captures, that I should expect won't be backed up to cloud saves?
Still not sure I'm going to do it, but definitely started thinking about it last night when I put on headphones just so I could play Doom.

You can back up -everything- to a USB hard drive if you want. Or if you buy a Slim / Pro without selling your old one you can transfer over Ethernet.
Good job man, for every week that have passed and every upcoming. You rock.

Any game stores still sell GBAs and link cables? In Toronto or Vancouver
theres quite a few retro game stores in Toronto, IIRC theres one on Spadina near College called A&C. Also theres one in a run down flea market on Dixie in Mississauga called GameExperts.
Theres another booth inside of the flea market at Hwy27/Albino (but only opens on weekends) that sells retro stuff + new stuff. Sometimes you can get stuff early there. The boss guy is really nice.
I think there should be plenty of these kinds of stores in the eastend / markham+richmond hills as well.

Okay, good to know. Will get my brother to nab me an sp and link cable hopefully

Man people are weirdly down on Star Ocean round here. IaF was still a far cry better than 3 and 4 were. Plus being brief as it is it doesn't over stay its welcome.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
How do I know if a library has video games?
There's one near my house and I'll definitely sign up for a card if they loan out video games.
I bought Arkham Knight and Skyrim Legendary Edition off them, it is definitely legit. You pay, they send you a text with a code, you punch in the code on their site and then it sends you an image of the game key. Easy enough. I'm buying Titanfall 2 off them this week, hard to beat the price.

Physical copy though, so you'd have to pay duties or get it shipped to a postal outlet near the border for pickup.
100% agree, I thought it was great! Perfect length / pacing. Only issue was the story was sort of tame, but otherwise I loved it!

Sold another controller (white DualShock 4 I didn't use) today. Feels good. Now I'm just down to two of those, one of which I want to keep (COD) and the other of which I'll unfortunately have to trade in or sell with console.
Contacted them, frontline agent said they couldn't do anything as they don't have authorization. Said a supervisor would call back in 24 hours.
Anyways, have the original receipt, know the exact times and dates that I've called in on regarding this. Definitely gonna contact consumer protection and BBB if supervisor doesn't do anything. It's a strong case. Had they went back on the offer before the headset shipped out, that'd be different. But doing it 5 days after the item was at my door, that has specific special policy of "no returns if opened". They screwed up. Not gonna let this go, regardless of how much time it takes.
I'm starting to feel like we aren't going to get NES Mini here 
You can usually look up your city's library online and they'll have a website where you can specify location and item to see if they have it in stock.
