My WoFF says "preparing for shipment" yet it says that it's gonna ship on the 28 with an estimate delivery of "October 31 - November 1"... oh and I'm prime too.

Maybe take a look at your local SuperStore? I know mine had them marked down to $67 for the longest time.
Ordered during E3 2015. May be why? That $41.99 is nice to see too. I think I would have held on it if it wasn't this low. I really liked the 4 previews at the end of the demo, but I think I could have waited for it.

Might as well ask too: any place to get a 64 gb Vita card at a decent-ish price? Now that full (unofficial) PSP compatibility is about to happen, I think it's time to finally do that memory upgrade I've been thinking about for years, but no way am I paying $150 for that (...I'm afraid it's either that or nothing, however...).

I'd be ok with 32gb or paying a bit more for 64gb. Might drive down to RCSS like poster above suggested if my girlfriend isn't too tired from work.
I don't know if this is common knowledge or has been posted already, so forgive me if I'm just repeating old news. If you are an Amazon Prime member, you will receive 20% off of preorders and newly released titles (up to 2 weeks after launch). So all the $79.99 titles show up at $63.99.

Thanks for this. Lame that Super Mario All-Stars is not one of them.
Been wanting to grab that for a while now.

Looks like they are bundling mine with Titanfall 2...

Yeah sure, why not. That's about the right price.

Must have been a new humble bundle I've never heard of.

It was a 2k bundle from... a couple of months ago. First sign that the game bombed hard.
It'll be F2P soon enough, why spend the $10? Just asking a rhetorical question to anyone thinking of buying it, not really trying to shit on LP for posting it.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Wheres the deal?
$10 will probably be solid value for whatever they compensate people who bought the game with as it'll probably be $60 USD worth of in game stuff at least.
Any idea if they ship the cards physically if you buy from the website, or is it a digital code?
They ship it physically.
Cool thanks, gonna go order some as its free savings since I started using Apple Music

Do you need to be a member to buy these cards from the site, or is it like the PSN codes?

That's because they are just a front-end retailer for that Codes2Go company. Staples uses them too.

Yup, discussed a few weeks back when Amazon first started doing this.
Yesasia seems to be the cheapest option at the moment. (No affiliation with Play-Asia, as far as I know.) I've ordered stuff from them a bunch of times in the past. The big thing is that worldwide shipping is free, though keep in mind that it could take as long as a month for it to get to you if you pick the free option, especially around the holidays. Paying for registered airmail is probably the best balance between speed and not getting hit by customs. (I've heard the SAL options are more likely to get hit with duties, but I don't know how true that is in practice.)
tl;dr if you can wait a month for shipping and have a card like the Amazon.ca rewards VISA that doesn't charge currency exchange fees, you could potentially get a 64GB card for $120-ish. But otherwise, yeah, $140-150.
I am Prime, but mine hasn't shipped yet (Preparing though.) When I became Prime, I asked them to switch me to free two-day shipping on my WoFF order, but it seems they made it Standard Shipping and removed the cost of it.
Oh well, not in a rush.

Anyone pre-order Battlefield 1 through Amazon? I did and paid for extra shipping and mine hasn't even shipped yet. Says arriving Friday. I've never had anything from FS, BB or Amazon ship so late.
I have it pre-ordered with free shipping, says Friday for me as well. Not shipped yet.

So what's the difference between limited and day one?
Not sure what's on Day one.
But this one has the 24 pages Artbook.
And then.
Lilikin Sephiroth, White Chocobo, Glow Moogle and Red Bonnetberry (a cute tonberry with a read cloak).
3 exclusive mirages (I guess those last 3), Sephiroth summon, and japanese VO DLC.
Edit: That damn booklet can't seem to be taken out of the slipcase.

The day one must be missing the artbook and that's it.
That's exactly it. The Day One Edition has no artbook, and simply comes in the PS4 case, while the Limited Edition comes with the artbook, and is inserted into a cardboard case. Both cost the same price.
My Amazon copy for example on the order status page, when I click it it links me to the Limited Edition, in spite of my order not saying Limited Edition.

Goddammit Sony lol
So weird thing. Seems like I can download the whole game with the digital code that came with it? Not sure why else there would be a 8.7 GB file just called "World of Final Fantasy"?
I had the same thing.
edit: Yup. It won't let me download it unless I delete the Disc version.

I just expect games from Amazon to arrive a week after their release day now. Longer if you got a super-cheap pre-order. I'm not expecting Battlefield 1 until sometime next week and Titanfall 2 the week after that thanks to their $49.99 pricetags.
I could order something from Amazon Japan right now and receive it in less time.

This so much. Luckily Amazon USA codes work on Canadian PSN (not sure about Xbox Live). I've gotten decent deals buying digitally from them even with the exchange rate.
Perfect, then that does answer my Q.
I've personally hoped for the Limited Edition, as I do like the packaging.
Xbox is even better, everything is region free.
It's pretty sweet. Also that free digital version with it. (probably just a glitch)
I think everyone's E3 pre-order for World of Final Fantasy from a year ago got bumped to the LE.
I noticed when I went to go check the current price via My Orders, and it linked to the LE.
Nothing beats when already discounted MGR pre-orders at Best Buy got bumped to the plasma lamp LE, though.

I was going to cancel because there's no way I have time for a 100 hour RPG right now especially with FFXV around the corner, but now it's too late because it's being shipped to day, set to arrive Nov 2-4.
