Damnit so tempting on the Guardian amiibo. I'm actually trying to sell my entire collection but these new ones aren't helping one bit..

Looks like bestbuy lowered their botw se price to $130 like amazon as it was $140 before.

my order still says $139, you think i'll need to call their customer service to get it changed? called, they said i will get charged full price then see a credit 7-10 days later lol

also, Amazon still showing Mar 8-10 as delivery for Switch?? Same for everyone else?

If you work in an office, there's little reason to not get things shipped there. Sure you can't play it right away and if you take a day off for a new release you won't get it, but it's definitely more reliable and convenient.

This mostly works, as I have had a couple of orders with delivery attempts after 5pm (building mail room closed) or before 9am. One time there was even a weekend attempt.

They always get it right on the second attempt.

Don't have a switch on order but my switch BOTW is showing the same date. Means they haven't updated the item to release day delivery yet. Hopefully changes soon.

Is $150 at Eb games as the trade in value for a Wii U generally worth it? I'm debating whether to buy a Switch and get that 150 deducted from the price.

You can't pre order a switch anymore from EB, so you can't do this promo, they stopped takin orders after the first day or two after pre orders opened. It also expires on the 26th.

Your ebgames would need to have a preorder open for you to do this deal to begin with.

If by some chance they do, cconsider this.

Right now, On kijiji listing for the Wii U with some games are going for around 220-230. ebames is giving you basically 170 (as that 150 deducted from the price won't get taxed). So 50-60 dollar difference, but those listing include games, not to mention you don't have to deal with the hassle of listing it yourself and dealing with kijiji buyers.

For me,if I was planning on selling my wii U, I'd go for it.

Sounds like your HDMI cable. I've had that issue in the past with Dollorama level hdmi cables and just changing them solved my issues

yeah hopefully, im not playing my ps3 anytime soon i can hold off buying a new cable, i usually go with bluerigger hdmi cables off amazon.ca, so i'll get a 6 foot cable later

oh i know what happened, i think i switched hdmi cables when i sold my 360, so the cable i was using for my 360 is now the one i was using on my wiiu

sounds like hdmi issues, i had the same issue with my Wii U until I replaced the HDMI cable a while ago.

Yup. Thought that was a real weird solution to the issue instead of just fixing the price before it ships.

Thanks! Ordered Archer Link and Zelda. What's special with that Guardian Amiibo? Nothing other than these movable tentacles I guess?

Not bad. Pretty much on par with EBs trade in promo for Pro last year. It was $260+tax.
Click to expand...

210$ + 50$ promo ? Didn't know they added taxes.

Ryde3 said:
Definitely, I got 250$ for mine right around the Pro official reveal. I mean you could get it brand new with Uncharted for 330, even 300 sometimes I think? You did good.
Click to expand...

Bought a bundle for 370 + taxes in late 2015. Now the lowest bundle is the slim U4 that goes for 350$ + taxes right ? So virtually no price drop in more than a year.

Any games controllers etc.?

No games and only one controller. Naked console pretty much.

I've missed the BotW SE every time it's gone up on Amazon. Now that I'm subbed to this thread and keeping its Amazon page up with an auto refresh....I'll probably still miss it.

Yeah, it was pre-tax. You can get the system as low as $140 if you also do their trade 5 and get $100 off. If only I knew there's going to be a 2x promo I wouldn't had trade my games.

I think you were right about $260, not $240. I believe I got $210 for the PS4 and $50 off the Pro, both pre-tax. Man, what an awesome deal!
Click to expand...

Man, EB was really nice to us for recent console launches.

the EB Pro launch promo was almost too good to be true. Ended up paying $~200 with the OG PS4 trade-in. Upgrade + warranty refresh+ new controller, all-in-one.

The NS pre-order deal was also fantanstic.

The $260 was the credit you will get if you trade your ps4 to pro while $240 was the price you are going to pay once the credit is applied.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Looks like all it needed for amiibo talk to return was for the Canadian currency to tank.

So desperate for deals that amiibo talk is allowed again ;)
