Just paid $50 at a local game shop, new sealed. On the rare occassion you find even a used copy, prepare to pay $40-$45 minimum. (EB is $35 plus tax I think?)
Ebay from canadian sellers can be found as low as $55.

Thanks, but what others are saying here, the input lag is a deal breaker.
Do these tv get patches to fix that? Is that possible?

MyNintendo has a 15% off discount from now until the end of December. It's $44.99 on the eshop so:
$44.99 - 15% = $38.24
Compared to the price of physical copies out there it isn't that bad of a deal.
Ordered a white Xbox One controller on Black Friday for my PC, so I got a 10ft USB cable to go along with it. White controller was temporarily out of stock so the cable shipped first.
What do I find today, but the controller shipped a few days later and arrived sooner.

Also speaking of BF, I ordered a GTX1060 from NCIX during their pre-BF sales and the damn thing is still on back order. Hoping to still get it before/during the Steam Winter sale so I can justify buying all the new stuff like DOOM and Hitman.

oh my bad. I meant if I was gonna be screwed upside down when they deliver my shit and I'm hit with like $50 customs lol. looks like there's a bunch of shipping options again like amiami. probably the same outcome. thanks, everyone
I'm on a time limit (end of this month) so it looks like I'm gonna go with Amazon Japan. goodbye $50
Will send PM
Apparently they're working on a patch, that may possibly be out for beta testers, that reduces the lag to ~40ms. Which is still pretty high, but not unbearable. Next years models will be much better - at full price until next holiday.

Play Asia sent me a msg saying my card was rejected, never had this happen before and I ordered games from them using the same card.

I've definitely found stuff at CDJapan that wasn't on Amazon.co.jp, so I think it more depends on what you're looking for. I shop at both.
One thing to watch with Amazon.co.jp: make sure you're paying the import duties upfront if you're buying a new CD. This will happen automatically if you're buying direct from Amazon, but NOT if you buy from one of the marketplace sellers that ships via Amazon. If it's a used product, it seems to go through without charges, but DO NOT buy a new CD from a marketplace seller unless you have no other choice. I got dinged recently for a CD I bought new several months ago to the tune of $16, which is on top of $40 for the CD plus shipping. Not only was the charge ridiculous, but the several months delay meant I didn't even know why I was being charged until I looked through my Amazon history and figured out exactly what was going on.
Totally unrelated: DHL can go screw themselves.

Yeah CDJapan is fine. It's just an english front end for Neowing.

If you're interested, Nintendo.com is selling refurbished units in Canada.
I bought a refurbished Wii U there and it was in perfect condition, and the console even came with the code to register on Club Nintendo. Amazing experience.
Yeah I Just saw that too... the titles offered were mostly underwhelming.
They were alright. No matter what, I'd wait till boxing day right now.
I was planning a new build on Black Friday and ended up getting everything at NCIX. Canada Computers had the 6700k for $370 and that's about all I found interesting (NCIX had that price too).

I've got the exact opposite experience! Amazon waited until TLG's release to finally ship me FFXV with it.
This thread has the highest horror-stories ratio of all time, I don't think you're special, they are.

does anyone have a purolater order from amazo, mine from them hasnt updated at all other than " Shipping label created "
I'm super annoyed! The LG B6 I ordered from Best Buy Nov. 30th received a scheduled delivery date of Dec. 20th, which just sounded outrageous to me.
I reply to the initial e-mail, and then called their support... The phone calls were really frustrating and got me nowhere but the next day my quick e-mail got a response saying they moved it to the 10th.
That's better, but still, seems a little ridiculous. I can't believe they think it's acceptable to deliver an item 3+ weeks later.

Crazy everyone's Amazon order is taking so long. My copy of TLG is "Out for delivery" today. In Calgary BTW.
Also looking to sell my PSVR. Do you guys think $600 firm for PSVR Headset, camera, Rigs and Robinson is too much? Gotten a few snarky replies already about my firm price. I'm kind of surprised. This includes all original boxes and receipts, etc.

Are you familiar with the term negging? Pick up artists often try to lower a girl's self esteem by insulting their looks to try make them easier to pick up. Your PSVR is being negged
Your price is perfectly fair
I ordered on Black Friday and got an email that says it will be delivered on Dec 12. I called immediately and asked for an early delivery. No dice. Just cancelled the order. Good thing it became available for ISPU on Sunday morning and pick it up in the afternoon. I really loved the TV. Plus there's going to be an update for input lag which will follow starting tomorrow.
My orders have been fine but I have been using the free amazon prime trial. Are you using the free standard shipping?
What? That seems like a fantastic price.

It would be a fantastic price if everything was brand-new(with the moves too).
It is a fair price when we take the actual MSRP into account though.

Sell me your PSVR. I'm a nice guy, really!
I thought I did with XV unless I cancelled the whole order. Was gonna cancel anyway, will wait for sale. Not excited about the ugly FPS situation.

Thanks for the reply, guys. Yeah I figured this was just nonsense. I try to keep my prices fair for quick sale.
Sorry for not mentioning, I am a Prime member.
Hehehe
TLG has shipped from Amazon with Canada Post but it says guaranteed delivery date of Wednesday. I've never had a game ship this early AND take two days to get here, so I'm still hoping it comes tomorrow. But then again, it usually gets the guaranteed delivery date right... is Canada Post much slower these days somehow? This is flexdelivery, shipping directly to post office.

Subete no aware
I'm going to assume it's volume. I've had stuff come a day later too. At least you can complain and get some credit or whatever.

Check if your mobo comes with the cable? If not, you will need to buy one. Amazon has sata cables.

I think most SSD didn't come with a SATA cable. But you usually get a few with your motherboard in you built your PC. Otherwise you going to have to buy one.
