It was 1999 plus tax late September when I grabbed mine. Still, you saved $660. Damn.
I realize that anyone who has wanted to play this has already done so, but Quantum Break is down to $36.96 at The Source.

Best Buy and EB currently have it at full retail, $74.99. Please be a courteous thrifty gamer and price beat at BB for $33.16 rather than buy up The Source's stock.

Sold my 500GB PS4 with 1 controller, Shadow of Mordor, and Dragon Age: Inquisition for $310. That's pretty decent/fair, right?

What was your original shipping date? Are you Prime?
Yeah I wasn't going to get a TV but too good of deal to pass up

Robinson shipped for Wednesday Nov 8th delivery for me. Was originally scheduled for November 14-15
Amazon e mailed me to tell me they pushed back Dishonored shipping until next week. I got on chat and was able to get then to change it back to release which is good but why make me deal with that?
I hope they at least get the Switch so I can finally get rid of my points. I don't see many Shoppers with games as it is though.
I traded my launch PS4 plus 13 various Wii U/ xbone/ PS4 games for $350 store credit towards a pro lol .. they weren't games I touched in forever and have no plan to so it's not too bad

Ugh mine still says shipping November 14th.
This is really disappointing. I am never shopping with Amazon again for videogames.

Just got a ps4 and thinking about getting back into ps plus. I know they jacked the price up, but I noticed the ps plus cards in store still say $50. Whats the deal with that, can I save $20?

I was wondering this myself

Subete no aware
I assume the cards still work until they get sent back, sort of like when Xbox Points were still on sale after they switched to real currency.

Oh, that NES thing is being released this Friday?

Wow, I only owe ten cents for a game being overdue a day at the library. That's pretty easy to digest, and even watch grow someday if I need to keep something late. It's cheaper than rentals were.
I haven't gotten around to playing it. I was hoping to renew it, but someone placed a hold and didn't pick up the copy they held. Or two people placed holds. I can't really tell.
I was going to rush out before 9am and drop it off, since it was due at midnight and they wouldn't know the difference, but it's not worth the gas.

It's still 50 until they're sold out.
No for PS+ card. The only time it happened was 2013 Boxing day.
Maybe it was that long ago now. I remember getting some online code cheap.
Staples I guess? They have the $20 off for over $100 but that's not on Boxing day or black Friday.
Yeah mine shipped last night. Should be delivered tomorrow. Weird that it's coming from Montreal though.

Still not shipping until next week for me. I'm never ordering videogames from Amazon ever again.
It's in stock and ready to ship from Best Buy yet it will take a week with Amazon. What the fuck are they doing? It seems this is a regular issue people have here.
I used these gift cards for this game and will never purchase videogames from Amazon again. Fuck them.
If you don't have Prime then Amazon is basically worthless now.
even prime is getting annoyingly inconsistent

Nah prime is definitely not a solution to anything.
uggghhh.
That reminds me I have to give em a call to change the credit card on that order because my card expired. Then I have to give them another call later because I think Kingdom Hearts 3 is also on that order and my CC will expire before that comes out too. Calling in always sucks

If Canada Post isn't delivering this Friday will they deliver it Saturday or Sunday?

Have you looked on kijiji/craigslist to see what they generally go for?

Huh. Amazon saying their shipment of Dishonored 2 is delayed? I want to be wtf, but the game backlog from the last 2 weeks is big...

Welp, looks like I might have an interview tomorrow (for a job outside my field though, but okay for a transitional one I suppose), so I might be able to get a PS4 Pro now. But for what game though, I don't really need to replay U4, and no big Sony exclusive for me this holiday... hmmmm. Maybe Modern Warfare 4K? But the Xbox version is still where I will play primarily due to friends, and Scorpio is probably gonna run it in 4K too, hmmmm.
Sounds like it would be a waste of money for you.
Yea but I'm a sucker for the newest gadgets ;_;
Fuck it would have been nice if Detroit came out this holiday.

Damn, I've wanted a New 3DS since they launched but have never been able to justify the pricetag. At $140, though, I can easily jump on it.
First Black Friday deal I've wanted in ages.

Yeah I received that email last night, indicating that it would ship on the 14th. It was a PS4 copy, I wonder if its a supply and demand issue.
Well.. thinking of getting a PS4 pro after all. But gonna wait on first wave impressions.
Not gonna trade in anything for it. Maybe my first (of 2) ps3?
Gonna leave my old one at my girlfriend's place. Going to save me the trouble of constantly carrying it around.
Is there going to be anything for me with the Pro without a 4k/HDR tv for FFXV? Any performance improvement?

Pretty much that + "If I take the box out of the back room, and then throw money at the cashier, that counts as a lawful transaction, right?"

For fucks sake. So get ready for Pro delays to Monday if they're being shipped.
Amazon has become a trash tier retailer for shipping. I'm done with them.
Well, I guess I'm on the PS4 Pro bandwagon. Based on what I've seen at RFD, looks like the standard TIV for a PS4 is $175... definitely in the market for a quieter system, so for the $85 difference between trading in for a Slim, I'll take the 1TB hard drive and increased performance.
$379-$175=$204
$499-$210=$289
I guess the pack-in game on a slim lengthens that gap a bit, but I certainly don't need to play Uncharted again. Now to get a 4K TV sometime in the next several years
I like the PS4 as a system, and I like Sony's exclusives well enough... but if this new system transforms into a vacuum cleaner over the course of its first year or two, I might be done with Sony hardware for a while... because I wouldn't even be thinking of an upgrade if the noise of my launch system wasn't so ridiculous.

I'm actually surprised that a lot of people are still buying from them despite the shitty shipping.
