The sad thing is it will probably be $25 by the time I play it.

Woh, I just got back home from giving blood and to my surprise my copy of Pokemon was sitting in my mailbox! Considering I wasn't expecting to see it until late next week this was a very pleasant surprise

All this TV talk is making me antsy. I can afford to get a B6 OLED but I told myself to wait for what CES 2017 will bring :(

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.

That sucks that they couldn't do anything for you even when you had the order number and years of email notifications about it.

I was a little worried about my order but the complete opposite just happened to me where they just sent out some mini-guide pre-order bonus.

I never downloaded the Platinum Demo for FFXV and I remember that Carbuncle was a reward in the real game for completing the demo. Looks like the demo is delisted, am I really locked out of one of the most popular summons in the series? That would be incredibly stupid.

Edit: It's gone from PSN from the PS4 but I was able to add it to my download list from the website.

I think their system is a mess because I have just received this

"On your recent visit to Bestbuy.ca you pre-ordered a Final Fantasy XV item. As a valued customer, we would like to show our appreciation with this Official Final Fantasy XV Mini Guide. The 21 pages in this guide are taken directly from Piggyback's guide to Final Fantasy XV.

We thank you for your loyalty to Best Buy and we look forward to serving you again in the future."

The only ffxv I have preordered is from futureshop.

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?

I'm in the same situation. I'm also torn because the 55" appears to be only 100 bucks more than the 49" so you figure go for 55", but after shipping for the 55"+ the taxes and conversion, it's actually around 2 or $300 more. :/ But I want the 55". Does BHphoto honor prices after a certain time ? If they go down even further for black friday would they cut you some slack if you just got one before that ? I'm not sure what the chances are that this will be lower after xmas or in the near future or if I might as well try to get one now.

They allow price protection even on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. That's why I'm interested on buying this because this might have a $100 or so drop again on those days

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.
Click to expand...

Can anyone tell me how to use that code while paying with a credit card (and not paypal) on Origin?

edit: nevermind you enter it on the review order page

The 3 for 30% off deal huh, I miss it. Wait, FFXV was offered during Amazon's E3 deals of 2015? I don't remember that game being listed back then.

EDIT: Apparently is was: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...CtZz-0t78VVKk57rf-QdHLE-Q/edit#gid=1193381272

Strange, why the hell didn't I preorder it back then?

EDIT 2: Now, I remember, it was because my BB order of 2014 was the cheaper price back then, so I didin't bother. Lesson learned.

My guess is that how they are sending it out to everyone is staggered or that it's just for new PS4 owners so it's just that their Pro is their first console.

Waiting on confirmation if those who got the $10 owned a regular PS4 before.

I did have a launch PS4. PS4 Pro is not my first console.

Hrm, my last email from them is Nov 6 2016 as well. It still shows up with that Best Buy order number search for me.

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.

The discount is basically a price match/correction that is applied after you ship the game, so it doesn't show up. In fact, if you try to return the game, they'll have trouble finding the order.

I owned a regular console(s) prior to this. I know for sure that this is for PS4 Pro because the box inside has a card that refers to this discount, but there's no code provided to enter in PSN. This is their way of eliminating that.

The demo is still available on PSN actually, I'm downloading it now (having forgotten about it, thanks for reminding me!).

For anyone else who pre-ordered Pokemon Sun and/or Moon, from Amazon.ca during this years E3 event, what did you end up paying? Mine ended up being $49.89 for Pokemon Sun and $39.99 for Pokemon Moon. I remember there being discussion about this. Did Pokemon Sun not also drop, temporarily, to $39.99? They also appeared to have messed up the 20% E3 discount, as it ended up being $1.90 total for the two of them. All of my other E3 purchases, that dropped in price after buying them, still ended up getting the proper 20% discount.

One other thing I just noticed; my 2nd and third shipments have been hit with shipping costs that has shown up on my CC payments. The first shipment was negated, and free. All items were shipped grouped together with free shipping option. Might want to check your invoices for shipping amounts if you have separate shipments,

Tried going during my lunch break. Basically showed up at 12:15 and the line got dispersed shortly afterwards. 😴

Just taking Fido's matching plan at this point. 12GB over 3 months was definitely more flexible though.

1982$ All in with a 2 year warranty for a KS8000(60 Inch) and B&H, CND.

Is this a good deal?

I heard the 60 inch Panel is different than the 55/65.

is it worse?

I'm glad I went with a guaranteed purchase of Watch Dogs 2, because I'm not really feeling it. It's alright, but it's not $90 alright. Or $50 plus tax alright.
