Thanks for the info. I can't cancel my order anymore (since apparently it's already in transit), so I'll see what would happen if I try to return it. Best Buy's pre-ordering system is probably better than Amazon's since the discount is reflected on an item-by-item basis, instead of the entire order.

They actually dropped it further to 9.97. I was able to PM mine shortly after I bought it at $15.
Thanks man, nabbed a copy of Infinite Space.

Mon Dieu!
The lack of a beta key has me really close to canceling my PC order since I have no idea if my PC can run it lol. It seems I still have the English version ordered though.
If anyone is buying Persona 2 please buy my sealed LE copy instead.
It's been sitting around storage for years.

Based on what they've been saying on their Twitter, it sounds like VGP have been working on securing reprint rights for a while now. They say there are more DS reprints coming, too, but also a lot of publishers that weren't interested.
I'm trying to think of UMD games I'd want reprints of, but the only ones that come to mind are games that never came to PSN, and for the most part they're still easy to find (Crisis Core, I think Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth?).
Thanks for this! Was really upset I wasn't able to get in on one before and also noticed that Until Dawn had 2 copies in stock again after being sold out all day so managed to snag one of those as well.

NOOOOOOOO FOILED AGAIN
So it turns out if nobody's home when Amazon comes to deliver, they'll just leave the package in front of your door. How did they even get into the building/up to my floor if nobody was home to buzz them in? x_x My package could've been easily swiped if any of my neighbors were into stealing. :/
UPS?
Nope, Amazon's delivery service. Dunno what they call themselves, but my package was shipped and delivered by "AMZNCA" and the tracking number they gave me worked on their site only.

I was at Walmart today and was looking at pillows. Any you guys recommend? They had the blue whale one for $4.88 which seemed good, but I wanted to know what PillowGAF had to say.
Those start out great, but go flat within a couple of weeks. I picked one up from winners last weekend for $12.99 and it seems pretty decent so far.

Seems like Best Buy's been restocking Until Dawn with a couple of units every so often (or else it's people cancelling their orders). Ended up finally getting an order in. Also, for PillowGAF, Best Buy's also running a 60% off ObusForme pillow sale. The MSRPs seem inflated (Amazon sells a bunch of the pillows, BB is only slightly cheaper) but it worked well as a free shipping filler and I needed a new contour pillow anyways.
That's just "terrible".
They'll be flat within the month. Memory foam or down pillows are your best bet. But down has some ethical issues with the way geese or ducks are plucked of their feathers in farms, sewn up or killed. I have some pretty expensive hypoallergenic memory foam pillows that are super soft.
I've spent a lot of money on pillows. Everything from $4 blue whale to like $40 dollars per pillow. Nothing stays like when they're new though.

contact CS and say it wouldn't let you cancel and kept giving you an error message or something
I think if you contact them through chat and tell them that the website wouldn't let you, they'll create the label and you won't have to pay for it. I haven't done it myself, but I'm positive I've seen that same method posted in here before.

Ok guys i post here but i don't know if it's the right place.
Anyway so i lived in Canada for a while so i have a canadian PSN account, but i'm french and i my first language is french.
Yesterday i bought Bully on the PSN and the game is full english.. No way to put the subtitles in french, is it possible to get a refund ?
I was thinking every games sold in Canada HAVE to be available in english AND in french...

I thought that only applied to the exterior packaging of a physical copy of the game (which doesn't necessarily always happen, hence the restrictions from BB on games sold to Quebec).
As for a refund, you might need to contact PSN customer service and explain to them that the game isn't in French so you aren't able to play it, hence why you would like a refund.
edit:
this might not help, but if you really want to play the game, the Steam version of Bully has French subtitles and menus. But you'd have to play it on PC.

Do you Canadians wish for custom or colored PS4 faceplates? I'm growing tired of the same color.

My Star Fox pre-order shipped and arrived from Best Buy (Fraser Valley). Three year old pre-order for $45. I didn't really want the game, but with the inclusion of a physical copy of guard for the discounted price, I just couldn't say no...
Hmmmmm, I had it on PS4 and sold it but $25 is kinda low.

I guess I'm going to Walmart this weekend to buy last year's best game.
Thanks
Note: I didn't leave the house for a few days and didn't get to Walmart in time to price match EB's Diablo III: Reaper of Souls UE price. So I guess I'm stuck with this gutted copy, unless I return it.
I wish I could go there and swap it for a sealed one if they or another store have one, but now that it's up in price that's surely unlikely.

Im in Vancouver. Same thing.
Anyone know if Battle.net cards are sold here in Canada?
I've never seen them so I'm going to say probably not.

What's the cheapest Audio-Technica ATH-M50x been available for?
It was $166 December 2014 iirc.

Hmmmm. Amazon dropped it to 200 and I was going to bite, but that's still considerably higher.

Same for me, in Vancouver and no shipping notice. I changed my E3 Zelda Wii U order to Star Fox about two months ago, I assumed because of that there was a delay.
Mine is finally shipping. You guys should check yours too.

Yeah, but I mean, that was over a year ago when the dollar was stronger.
edit: Decided against getting a Vita since my cousin gave me a PSP Go in exchange for some PS4 games I don't play anymore.
I got the white ones for $162 back in July 2015.
My conversation with Amazon CS. Gotta love them sometimes!
Hey, I noticed Best Buy had Until Dawn - PS4 for 19.99. I was wondering if Amazon was going to price match it? No worries if not, was just curious as I'm interested in buying it and am also a loyal Amazon customer, so rather buy it from you!

So many people complain about the shipping, but they completely make up for it with things like that.

Awesome, I was able to price match it at Best Buy and use some Reward Zone certificates. Came out to $6.
