If it's sold out, neither will bother to match. And best buy has already advertised 20%.

Hope for walmart restocks.

I might jump on Splatoon when it goes back in stock, but I'm not sure about the PS4 titles. Far Cry 5 and God of War seem like they'll be big names this year at E3, so I'm sure they will get deals from other retailers.

 

[True Fire]

Well, I loaded up on Amazon preorders. I imagine they'll be price matching Walmart again this year.

 

[The Elite]

Buying the Xbox One version of the game gets you the Scorpio version, right? There will be no separate skus for this stuff.

 

[leeman]

Amazon matched most of that $19.99 BestBuy sale from yesterday.

Bloodborne

The Last of Us Remastered

Ratchet & Clank

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection

Correct.

 

[DeathByBacklog]

Red Dead 2 was never in stock for PS4, just Xbone

Oh really?

 

[bubaglobalj]

When can we expect the Amazon e3 Hub, and their deals with it, to go live?

 

[The Elite]

Correct.

Cool. I might just bite on Far Cry 5 Xbox One then.

I've been trying to think about the long game more when considering pre-orders, especially since the Canadian dollar dropped from par. Will I get to God of War PS4 before it drops to $49.96? I'm guessing not, since I haven't even managed to finish any of the others. Detroit? That makes a lot more sense for me, since I tend to play Quantic Dream games on release.

Super Mario Odyssey is tricky, because I probably won't play that for a while, but Nintendo probably won't discount it until I'm 50. So.

 

[HubbaBubba]

Mario Odyssey is tricky, because I probably won't play that for a while, but Nintendo probably won't discount it until I'm 50. So.

Also the curious case of it having a placeholder price of $99. Could mean Nintendo will price more according to exchange rate when it releases.

 

[Grimsen]

Cancel policy be damned. I ordered 5 games.

at 50$ I can try them and sell them for profit in the first few weeks after release.

 

[Fularu]

Oh really?

Yeah I was checking prety much every PS4 deal and RDR2 was the first one I checked, it was OoS already (andhas been on their site for the past 6 months anyway)

I need your attitude lol!

I was trying to order it for the X1, with the Scorpio in mind.

I'm on vacation and seems like Walmart block access from outside Canada

Great price for R&C!

I think Opera Browser has some sort of built in VPN that might be able to help you out with that.

 

[farisr]

Yeah, seeing some stuff go out of stock, I had no faith in amazon price matching, and ordered a bunch of games. Worst case scenario I return the games to a walmart that's nearby.

Wish I had ordered Spider-man in time though...

 

[Bronetta]

Preordered the following:

Crash Trilogy
Splatoon 2
Mario Odyssey
God of War


Shouldn't have waited as a bunch of stuff is OoS now.

 

[The Elite]

Ordered Far Cry 5 for Xbone Scoprion.

My orders:
Tekken 7 (Already charged)
Far Cry 5
Super Mario Odyssey
God of War
NBA 2k18 Switch

Wish I had jumped on more but most were OoS when I found out about this thing. All for pickup at Canada Post.

 

[Cmerrill]

Just reposting that Best Buy has the "Polk Audio Rti A" speaker line up on sale. It ends today.

http://m.bestbuy.ca/defaultpage.aspx?lang=en#/catalog/productdetails.aspx?ajax=true&sku=10090953&lang=en-CA

The Rti A9's are $399.99 & $775 dollars off.

I got a pair for $930. Amazing deal.

Walmart usually restocks fast

 

[farisr]

Walmart usually restocks fast

I hope so. I need to get Spider-Man, Detroit and Days Gone still. I'm sure I'll have another shot at getting Death Stranding next year.

And yeah, these deals are good enough that I'll deal with possible cancellation problems, and 2-3 days late shipping.

 

[HubbaBubba]

Walmart usually restocks fast

I seem to recall very few restocks of these deals last year. i know there was one they did not restock cause amazon didn't match it.

 

[Apples_89]

Anyone know how fast Amazon generally is to match pricing if they intend to? Tempted to hold off for a few more hours to see if there's any reaction on their part, but I don't want to be faced with more OoS problems if they don't budge.

 

[firehawk12]

I wonder if someone at Walmart screwed up and launched these early

 

[The Elite]

I don't think so. They launched early last year. They were the first out of the gate with $50 games.

 

[CRA5H]

So tempted but not being able to cancel is a deal breaker for me. Waiting for the wishful Amazon price match

 

[centracore]

If I lump all of my pre-orders into one order will Walmart ship them individually as they become available? Or do I need to create a bunch of separate orders?

 

[DeathByBacklog]

Meh. Just refuse delivery. It's ship back to them and you'd get a reverse of the charges.

 

[HubbaBubba]

Or return to store if one is not that far away. never had an issue doing that.

 

[March of the Crabs]

If I order Mario & CoD together, does anyone know if Walmart ship them separately? I don't want to pay shipping but I also don't want to get them both on the latter's release date.

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

I was just about to ask this.

I went ahead and got GoW, FC5, and Mario. There's a Wal-Mart close by, so if I end up scoring a better deal elsewhere somehow, I'll just return them.

 

[centracore]

I don't know the answer to your question but it doesn't matter anymore because Super Mario Odyssey went out of stock during checkout.. LAME.

ahhhhh that's what I get for procrastinating.

It seems to ship by release date, but we'll see because I have Tekken in one of my orders.

I should have did God of War, but I figured I could put off 2018 games...

 

[Fularu]

Guys if you're worried about shipping costs just have your games delivered to the nearest post office.

1 - it's free
2 - no risks of having it stolen
3 - it's free

 

[centracore]

ahhhhh that's what I get for procrastinating.

Exact same thing happened to me too - hopefully there's a restock (or price matching by Amazon) at some point.

I think it's also free.

 

[sikkinixx]

I think it's also free.

I heard that the cost was actually $0

 

[DeathByBacklog]

Yes this is a better way of doing it if you're not bothered by taking it back. Refund would be quicker also with no chance of the package being lost in the mail.

 

[krae_man]

My life got so much easier when I started shipping everything to work.

 

[xCaptainCanadax]

I feel like the games that I want to order will remain in stock for the duration of the sale based on who the publishers are (COD, Destiny, Battlefront) I cant see them going out of stock. I feel like last year titanfall 2 was in stock the entire time.

 

[JDH]

Except then your co-workers know you have a shopping addiction.

"Another order?" I hear this about every day

Story of my life, they even made a sign that says "Knacklover's Warehouse" where they put my packages if I'm out of the office.

 

[centracore]

Super Mario Odyssey is back in stock on Walmart right now, was just able to pre-order it for $50!

 

[Kyolux]

Seems like I missed most of it.

I'm sure wal-mart will restock and amazon will match, or at least will have an impact on wtv deals they'll have.

Damnitt, just missed it (again)

 

[killroy87]

I'm sure it's safe to assume Amazon will match this at some point soon. I don't think there's ever been a time where they haven't matched something like this.
