Could have went to the gym on lunch, was refreshing a broken website instead. I'm trying to get it for my brother, very frustrating.
I called The Source which apparently has an order-by-phone number so I thought... why not?
A very tired sounding representative told me that they couldn't place the order either and that their IT group was working "very hard" to get the website back up as soon as possible.
...Indeed.

It's not really their fault. I mean their only mistake is to have announced when they would be taking pre-orders. They are a very small player in the home electronics market. Their web infrastructure simply couldn't handle the traffic. It's not like they can press a magic button to add servers and capacity. In the end they are losing money because of this because no one can order anything.

Any deals on south park game ?
Yeah I tried that pretty soon after the site started having problems. They use the same site placing the phone orders so they can't do anything at all. The Source is losing all kinds of money having their site down.

I know this was a couple pages back, but I missed the whole EB double trade credit thing, is it still on? I don't see anything on their website or in my coupons. I want to clear out some of my old games and get Rabbids.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
They have coupons in store all month.
You can only do 2 games per day I believe.

I have never had any luck redeeming any US Digital Copy code. I think it might depend on the studio/movie.
Dang, that's disappointing. But thanks for saving me a few bucks as I was about to buy a US code.
Call them. Don't even need to go to the store.

yeah, if you bought it online from them you can just call them up and they'll make the adjustment for you. i usually go instore because one of their stores is very close and i like to take a walk inside from time to time.
I like to do that too but depressed employees trying to sell me a phone/cable subscription to Bell turns me off

That happens to me too, but only when I see their PC game selection on display.
I added one too and then it took so long to load the cart, then login and it disappeared and I got logged out when I tried to checkout. Gg the Source.

Haven't even been able to add one.
Try clicking directly on the Cart icon and adding the SNES SKU from there.

Does somebody have a direct link to the SNES (and some batteries for the deal)?
The search feature is just not working.

Click on Cart and enter 108071181 as the SKU.
SNES:
https://www.thesource.ca/en-ca/gaming/retro-gaming/snes-classic-edition-/p/108071181
Don't bother with the batteries, that's one extra step that could cost you should this ever start working.
That never worked for me once.
Yes they are redeemable in canada, just have to use a vpn for an US ip to redeem it than once it's redeemed you can watch it in canada unless your using VUDU than you still have to use an US ip.

Hilariously, get the SNES page to load. Then just click the "pre-order" button multiple times, like hammer it, to the point where you get the browser to start spooling. Then just wait.
Since there is a limit of 1, you should eventually get a prompt which says that they've adjusted the amount you can add to cart - but it'll be in there. However... after that, the login/checkout process is a whole different story of time outs, internal server errors, your cart suddenly emptying, to everything really being not worth the effort.
LOL I was trying both Guest and login checkouts to see if either one would work and I got an error "this email address has an account, you can't do guest checkout, please log in".
4 hours and it's the first time I've got that error. Thought that meant I might be able to progress, but nope!

All EB's they have the coupon in store.
