Best Buy/Future Shop cancelled my 3 year old Final Fantasy XV $39.99 pre-order.

It was my final E3 2013 pre-order for $39.99. I called up and the rep couldn't even find my order number anymore, they completely scrubbed it from the system. All I can do it laugh about it, pretty shady.

Wow, thanks for the heads up. Pulled up my order via the order lookup tool and took a screencap of the entire order in case they do that.

They've been shady lately. Worst one was letting folks know they won't be honoring the 10% off PSVR preorder deal, 5 days after it had already shipped out/arrived with a "can't return/exchange if opened" policy.

I couldn't even see my order number after it was cancelled, I had to call in to confirm it was indeed cancelled.

When you ordered did you get an email? Maybe the order number is there and you can present that as proof?

Difference between the two night and day? Not necessarily. The KS8000 is the better television and the HDR effect is more pronounced. Side by side you would obviously see the KS8000 is the better television. But thr HDR performance on the Sony is great, not just nice. Very capable set. 4k look great. I made a post on another thread. Just highlighting the difference of 4K SDR and 4K HDR. I have touched nothing beyond turning HDR off. The regular image is full vivid mode as well. It makes it look oversaturated with my phone, but with HDR the princess looked amazing in the shot.

So yeah, both sets will give you great 4K and HDR, the KS8000 is just full over 1100 nits brightness for HDR10 spec. The night and day difference would be between an OLED and the Sony Z9D FALD instead of these edge lit televisions.

Yep, same order number. I even forwarded my original order e-mail to the rep on the phone and she had no idea what to do, she even looked up orders to be sent to my postal code just to see if it was misfiled and nothing.

I hate how my local shoppers hides all video games in the back. If Im ever looking for a video game I have to ask some middle aged lady to check who has no idea what the difference between a Nintendo or Playstation is.

That Origin price on Titanfall 2 with the TITAN20 code is incredible. Ultra excited to jump into the game tonight :D

I've waited too long to play this game.

I had the same issue. I called to update my CC info and they said they couldn't find the order.

They said to make a new preorder on BB and they will apply a discount. I can't see any discount right now, but maybe it's because it's a preorder... and it will be $40 when it ships? Anyone had experience with this?

Not confident that BB just fucked it up and is going to charge me full price, and then make me go return it. Bleh.

I need to call them for that too... I wonder if it's for all Futureshop orders. Going to check if I can see my order online.

I returned something at Bestbuy on Friday the 11th and they still did not reimburse me. Has it ever taken this long for anyone? I usually get it back within 2-3 days.

How much are you guys paying for FFXV?

36$ for me.
Click to expand...

Assuming Best Buy doesn't find a way to screw up my old Future Shop order (either by cancelling it outright or by removing the hidden $30 discount they should have applied when I migrated all my old Future Shop orders--so far so good but I had to change the credit card recently and the CSR didn't seem like the brightest bulb), $39.99.

The whole "trust us, we'll charge you full price when the game ships and then seven days later refund you the discount" thing still sketches me out, even though it's worked for three out of the four games on the order (FFXV being the last).

I was lucky enough to get one of those glitched amazon preorders that gave me -30% and -15%, so i get Final Fantasy for $27.50 plus tax.

I think I've settled for the KS8000, the deeper blacks and brighter panel with better HDR is I think more important until another ~5 years when OLEDs will be more affordable.
So I will probably buy from BH Photo, unless Best Buy miraculously discounts it by $500 for Black Friday. I read that BH Photo ship from a Toronto warehouse? Do I leave it on the "Auto pay" setting for the customs and duties? Or since this is NAFTA marked, it won't have duties but only Ontario tax, so $897 USD to $1200 CAD plus 13%?
Also, how does warranty work if something's wrong? I am guessing just the standard Samsung warranty? But do they care that you bought it from the US?

$35 in the US (Battle.net and physical). I believe Amazon.com has it for $35 digital as well, which ends up being a bit cheaper depending on the state tax ($35 is ~$47 CAD).

Too bad the base $40 Battle.net version isn't on sale. It's more expensive than the Origins Edition right now.

I think it's 46.39 on PSN right now.

Yes HST in USD. The manufacturer warranty won't work here. You will need to use their own warranty. $1304 all in for 55" with 2 yr warranty.

For the square trade warranty. You will repair it locally and they will reimburse what you pay. If it can't be repaired, they refund you for the cost of the TV.

Oh shit, your 55" WITH warranty was $1300 CAD?
Then a 49" for me should be ~100 CAD less.
Very nice, hmmmm

Nooooo. That's usd. My bad. Also check my edit for warranty.

Oh I see.
And repaired locally, hmmmm, are there shops even good at that stuff?
Hmmm, this warranty situation is giving me pause, maybe Best Buy will have a deep discount on it.

May not be the right thread but I have FFXV on Amazon and want to keep it but I saw ebgames has the kings tale as a free bonus. What's their return policy when it come to unopened games like that? Their site says the code is on the receipt

Even if you bought it locally, most TV's will usually survive the 2 year warranty. It's always on day 731, where the cracks begin to show. Haha.
