What sucks is people are set up 299 US and it likely isn't going to be and people will be pissed for no reason since it was never going to be be 299 US.
Man, those prices are going to break the bank for me. Damn 13% tax...
$70 game? Aren't most Wii U games $75 now. Wouldn't be shocked to see them try $80 like the other systems.

The difference is that other system's $80 is probably $30 within 6 months, whereas Nintendo titles don't drop in price that often.
EB has been on a roll lately with trade-in deals. I'm hoping they do something decent for Switch. Will totally ditch my Wii U if the price is right.

Gamestop in the US is giving $150 US right now:

Will be interesting to see if that holds until March, tradtionally, it shouldn't on the release of a new console.
Why not keep the pre-order and sell it for a small profit? That's what I do.
It'll be 55 after tax, and I don't want to deal with kijiji any more than I have to. I'm willing to give up the $5-10 profit.

I agree with you but that will make it hard to swallow for many fellow canadians...

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Trade my Wii U and never get to play Bayonetta 2 and Tropical Freeze ever again? No thanks

The Wii U is straight up dead while both the OG XB1 and PS4 were both relevant during the trade-in promos(and still are).
Yeah that's true. I'll just sell stuff to pay for the thing.
Near 15,5% in Québec.

Ye wish sony would just release it over here, but this is better than nothing.
I hope Best Buy will take Switch pre-orders too because last time I tried to pre-order something from the EBGames website they never accepted my credit card. Don't want to risk that for the Switch.
(And I assume Amazon won't carry it at all seeing how weird they are with Nintendo hardware)

Already cancelled, but it was Resident Evil 7. Price dropped to 49.96 on November 28th for a day or so apparently.
Was updating my preorder spreadsheet, and checking for upcoming games I needed to cancel, didn't realize it had gotten a discount in the meantime. Anyways, have too many game I'm interested in this quarter so going to have to make some hard decisions on what to cancel and what to keep.
Kingdom Hearts 2.8 - cancelled, will pick up later, way later.
Gravity Rush 2 - still deciding, want to show support due to it not being too popular, but also am short on money, all depends on just how much I like GR remaster and the GR2 demo.
Yakuza 0 - still deciding, want to show support for the physical release for sure, but again, short on money.
Hitman First Season - cancelled, ordered in hopes of a price drop or something, but they haven't taken that always online stuff away for unlocks so no buy, it can wait.
Resident Evil 7 - just cancelled
Ni-Oh - will probably cancel and pick up later depending on just how bad my backlog is
For Honor - probably gonna sell this off as I have a really good discount on it, will play if always online goes away for campaign
Horizon Zero Dawn - keep
Ghost Recon Wildlands - great discount, gonna try it out at least, sell it off if it's not my thing.
NieR Automata - keep
Mass Effect Andromeda - probably cancel and wait
South Park Fractured But Whole - probably cancel and wait.
I own and have FFXV, Watch Dogs 2, Deus Ex MD, Gravity Rush Remastered, The Last Guardian to play/beat still. So I can honestly cancel every game and be okay.
Wasn't that in US only? I'm pretty sure it's available here
I don't think they ever sold the Wii U (not counting 3rd party sellers), and the 3DS used to be not available from them either.

They've been selling nintendo consoles for years now so I wouldn't worry.
Aww yeah, I have that at that price too. And after getting too freaked out to play through the demo in VR. I'd cancel it if it wasn't for my gf being really eager to watch me play.
I'm on the same boat for KH 2.8.
Yakuza 0 you need to buy man, don't want to see 6 localization cancelled. It's pretty fun from what I played (2-3 hours) of the copy I bought in Akihabara in april 2015.
I half regret cancelling For Honor after having played and liking the beta. But I can live without.
Ni-oh looks sweet but too many jrpgs lately.. slowly getting tired of them and my backlog doesn't allow it.
HZD, Nier Automata are good calls on keeping.
Tempted to do the same for South Park, having it at $50 though makes that a tough call. I have 2 more months to decide. I can probably live with playing it on a steam sale at the end of the year.
edit: Well I cancelled South Park. Realized that March will be already busy enough with HZD, Nier and Zelda.
I'd take some of those, but not in GTA.

So yeah, just an update in case you guys were wondering.
Got an email from them today.
The tv is coming in February.
Are you talking just downtown? I live in Vancouver and the street in front of my house is basically a sheet of ice.

Why is everyone speaking with such high confidence we will get Switch pre-orders next week?
I don't have any faith in Nintendo to do anything right anymore.
Yes I know the presentation is next week, but I see Canada being left in the cold like usual from Nintendo.

We normally get Preorders the same time as the US for new console launches. I would be shocked if we don't get it next week.
$400 CAD starting price?
Nintendo could very well be doomed in Canada with a price like that lol
Okay. When was the last time when Nintendo left Canada in cold?

Oh man, MGS3 Subsistence and BG&E look mighty tasty. I have MGS Collection on PS2 but I'm not sure if it includes Subsistence. I'll check tonight!

It does but you're missing the bonus disc!

Alright. Dibs on that MGS3! I need that!!!
Make sure it comes with the 2nd disc because the bundled versions of subsistence didn't have that.
Not same scale, but Canada's Pokémon Go Plus devices were released later in Canada then US. Just an example

No?
I cancelled Gravity Rush 2 and Nier Automata myself. I opted to get Yakuza 0 instead of Gravity Rush 2 and even though the Nier demo was awesome, I'm gonna wait for a price drop.
