So it's safe to order a TV from Amazon, they won't leave it at the door until I get back from work?
I really want to get that X900E in preparation for all the 4K goodness coming to Xbox and PS4.

For a TV, I'd either send it to the post office if possible or make sure someone is home.

That's true.

I tried the post office, it says that item can't be shipped there. Probably too big.

Yeah I thought something like that might be the case. :(

As for liability if they leave it outside, hopefully it's theirs.. but going through any hassle for this kind of thing to prove that it's gone, etc. would suck.

Question for computer people:

Will this laptop be able to watch Big Brother live feeds without much issue? I'll have to use a VPN to watch them.

Hewlett Packard 11.6-Inch Chromebook (Intel Celeron N3060, 4GB Ram, 16B eMMC Storage, Chrome OS), Black https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01KWCIC8C/

I know it's not the best laptop by any means, but I literally just need it to watch Big Brother and write papers for school.

Random Q: I bought Mario without a Walmart account. Then I bought Splatoon and registered for an account. How do I check my Walmart and Mr Noodles order?

Here is my haul. Wish I got FEW/XB2 for >$50 with Amazon Glitch. Waiting on Kirby too. I also completely missed BB 40-60% off glitch, so if that goes through I'll be bummed.

So I ended up preordering Yoshi and Kirby @$99.99 just because I'm assuming they will end up dropping in price and I want that 20% but holy shit. Like if for wtv reason they don't drop in price I'm cancelling cause $100+ for a game is criminal.

What's the deal with the Best Buy 20% off code, you can use it on more than 1 order right? Or do I have to be sure I've got everything I want to pre-order in 1 order?

That's what I did too, and yeah no way in hell am I going to be able to continue the hobby if games are going to be starting at $100, especially when I have to get 2/3 copies for some games so everyone can play together =S

Mine (E3 + pre-existing pre-orders):

A whoooooooole bunch of doubles to hedge my bets. A bunch of those will be cancelled. A bunch more will probably be cancelled because I can probably wait on them (Call of Duty, Battlefront II, Anthem, Kingdom Hearts III, etc., etc., etc.).

I don't expect much more, but if Metro Exodus PC goes up at some point, I'm definitely snagging that.

Do the pc games on amazon come on disc or with a code? I'd hate to have to keep putting in the disc when I want to play.
Click to expand...

Regardless of either, most (if not all) physical PC games ship with a code that you can use on Steam or whatever service the game runs on.

Yep. I went to make a spreadsheet for my 8 or so preorders and I thought, "is this too much?" Then I checked this thread and realized it actually might not be enough...

I have 49 pre-orders, on top of my final E3 2015 order with FF7 Remake, Dead Island 2, and South Park. I hope someone has more than that... please...? Haha.

(I'll probably end up with 30 or so of them, since half are 2018 games.)

Does it not say "signature is required"?

Yup. I cannot remember the last time I bought a new PC game that required the disc. In fact, many PC games don't even include a disc at all--recent EA games like Mass Effect Andromeda, for example.

Just argued with Amazon chat rep, their 20% off deal during E3 isn't exclusive to Prime members right? I probably won't have Prime anymore once something like Prime 4 releases, so I'm not sure I want to deal with any confusion hassle.

I guess I'll just order it from Best Buy for 20% off to avoid that crap, if it's $99 now but goes down in list price that all works out the same way as Amazon right?

Welp, I've ordered the X900E off Amazon. It says here they will leave a note if no one answers and hopefully I can call them to schedule a delivery when I am home. Also apparently there will be three delivery attempts, and if all unsuccessful the item will be returned to Amazon and purchase will be refunded.
So I think I should be covered, hopefully.

I'm going to go over my pre-orders with a fine-toothed comb before deciding what I'm keeping. I'm a patient guy, so besides pretty much all of the Nintendo games (which never go on sale) and a few PS4 games I really want to play Day 1, I'll probably wait until sub $30 discounts come along 6-9 months after release.

The worst is still Intelcom. I live in a Condo building that you need to be buzzed in, and they just state "No access to building" and drive away. 99% of the time I now have my deliveries come to work.

I see my colleagues judging me :(

$100 for a Kirby game, series known for 5-8 hour campaign, that's crazy talk, I'm with you. Even $80 is pushing it.
