Is there a list? If there's no midnight launch at my location it's unlikely I'm gonna get a chance to play until two weeks later
They couldn't tell me. Just told me closest one to Windsor that's doing one.

Dammit. I actually withdrew my trade in credit from Richmond Centre and used it at Oakridge because it was closer...
I remember a number of pages back there was some concern over not getting prime discounts or prime shipping on pre-orders, once a prime membership expires.
I just spoke to Amazon.ca CSR that assured me that is not the case. As long as you place your order during an active Prime membership, you are guaranteed to get those benefits even after your Prime membership has expired.
Just an FYI for those who may have a membership expiring soon.

I paid 15$ for it at SDM (purchased both the Xbone and PS4 versions for collecting purposes)

The list of midnight openings has seriously dwindled since the PS4/Xbox One launch. I remember there being a midnight launch for triple a title releases but you just don't see that anymore. A part of that might be digital grabbing the must have it at midnight audience.

Does anyone know if the Switch Pro Controller will work on a PC through USB connection?
1-2 Switch might be a nice one to have digitally in any case
There's also Snipperclips!
As a xinput device? No
As a DInput device? Yeah probably
Someone will have to make a driver to have it recognized as a Xinput one though (because that's what you should want)
Yeah, I have to admit, that worked on me. Waiting in line for a Mass Effect game in a Canadian winter, versus making a hot chocolate, then sitting down at midnight to play a game as it unlocks is much more attractive.

As a seller, I can tell you that I only ship to the buyer's PayPal address because that's the only way I get any seller protection.
What will probably happen is that the item will get sent to the wrong address and returned to sender at sender's cost. Unless you eat the cost of the return and the cost to re-send it to your correct address, you are SOL as the seller will not do anything for you.

Here's hoping Steam detects it as a device at some point in the near future.
Saw you bought it - didn't have time to reply. I have a XB1 S and a normal PS4 and both look jawdroppingly amazing in 4k/HDR. The PS4 is upscaling but it looks remarkable. The XB1 S is similar. HDR looks great on both.
How are you finding it?
I don't think they did it for the Wii U either. Or the Wii, for that matter. Bought both of those at GTA EBs.
Quoting myself:
If you have any tips for me regarding settings, feel free to PM me.
Also, one thing that annoyed me was that it insisted that I add a cable service to my HDMI 1. Put a random one, but it's my PS4 connected there.
Also, is there a place for firmware updates or things like that? Are there firmware updates for TV? (This is my first smart tv).

One time one of the eb employees told me that, at least at the time he told me, it was a 100 copy threshold copies of the game preordered at the location before they talked about doing a midnight launch.

You're not getting anything switch/zelda-related on day 1.

Depends where he lives. I'm in downtown Toronto and I get virtually anything I order from amazon day 1. Others aren't so close to the shipping centres though.
I wonder if BB will put aside mailing wii u zelda copies for switch and zelda switch orders.
I'll have the 3rd off.. so I'll probably just walk in a store in the afternoon (after the in-store switch pickups are through) to pick up an extra zelda copy if it doesn't look like it'll make it for the week-end.
First time I preorder something on amazon (just move to canada a couple of month ago). But yeah I lost my hope to receive my order on march 3rd. (Apart of preorder when I order something, amazon delivery is pretty fast enough)
This, I'm in Durham and I get most things day one (or two). Everything ships in one day at least, but it depends on how long it takes to be processed.
Order a second copy, send one to work, one home. Can't be too cautious.
I don't think it would really make a difference, each is one day shipping anyways.
I guess you could get (un)lucky with one of them being processed earlier than the other, but once they ship they would take the same time roughly.

I'm delivering to my downtown office. Never had a problem getting something day 1 before.
I approve of this poem.
I kept trying to match it to Spider-man's theme song. Didn't really work.
Amazon, and-a Prime,
You save some money, for the price of time.
Don't expect, to get your games,
On day one but when you do,
GET YOUR,
Games you'll have some fun.
I haven't heard it in a while but that kinda works? lol
Now this is a shipping post I can get on board with
If it's Intelcom you may end up with a moron who doesn't understand how to deliver to a business address tho
Hmmm, I could always just do the drop off location at the Shoppers near my office.
EDIT - I can't even update the address to the pick up location. Welp, I'll try my office.
That exhange rate is killing me. I saw the thread for the PSN sale and thought maybe now would be the time to trade Overwatch and buy it digital... of course, $50-something US is $66 on PSN.
I guess on the plus side, I don't have to go to Best Buy and then try to figure out they allow people to buy prepaid PSN cards with gift cards

The worst for me in buying something in USD using PayPal, because PayPal always undervalues the current exchange rate. Exchange rate at 0.76? Well prepare to pay for something at a rate of 0.73 instead!
You can configure PayPal to charge your credit card in foreign currencies directly, and then use a credit card that doesn't charge exchange fees (like the Amazon rewards Visa card).
Visa's exchange rates still kinda suck though.
I don't think they are "undervaluing" the exchange rate. It's an added charge for the transaction. It's the exact same thing banks and credit card companies do. They always add 2 or 3% whenever a foreign fund exchange is involved.
It's not too awful tbh. I checked and they exchange at about the rate of my credit union (Vancity).
Didn't know this. I'll have to dig into my PayPal settings.
Thanks for the correction! Still sucks though
.Wow, thanks for this. I've always hated Paypal's conversion rate and thought I just had to use it.
Awesome! Thanks for the guide.
