Just a FYI- The Sony over the head platinum wireless headphone is at its lowest price in our homeland at $150 + glorious sales tax. I just acquired one from BB and the offer is also available on Amazon Canada.

EDIT: Also Nier Automata is available for $30 on BB (for today and tomorrow) and EBgames.

I'm actually pretty relieved I'll be able to plow through Xenoblade 2 over Christmas. It would've killed me if it and Ni no Kuni II came out too close.

Alright CanadaGAF, that Xenoblade 2 CE is on notice

So, semi-related...are Switch's less rare?

Last I tried to get my former boss of the EBGames i used to work at to hold me one and he wouldn't....and promptly sold all the ones they had that day. So that was great. lol

At least with Amazon, if you have Prime, they're in stock a lot more now.

Not plentiful everywhere but should be able to acquire one without a ton of effort.

Samus Returns amiibo seem to have hit Toys R Us early in my area.

Not sure if they'd let me buy them but if you can find them then no harm in trying your luck.

Lol, I saw that my metroid pre-order still wasn't showing a ship date yesterday and I cancelled it...along with my prime subscription. What a joke the service has become.

My pre-order for the SE of Samus Returns still doesn't have a ship date. They better not cancel this thing on me...

Edit: Never mind, I see the arrival date. Sept 20th - 22nd, and that's with Express/Prime. Ugh.

YMMV, but when I noticed they updated the estimated release date for the special edition of Samus Returns to be the 22nd, I just contacted a CSR and they upgraded me to one-day shipping for free. Now the estimate says Friday. So y'all could give that a try.

So uhhh, that splatoon switch bundle is supposed to come out today in walmart? Were there online preorders that I completely missed or is it dropping sometime today?

I'm tempted to get that Xenoblade LE, but it'll probably be $130 when it releases here, which is $82 more than the $48 preorder I have. Not sure if it's worth it for me at that point. I'll probably just get the guide for it and leave it at that.

Canada is always last too.

Also, anyone know if the Mario Odyssey joy-cons will be sold separately? They are the first joy-cons I actually might want to buy.

Dunno, but I am picking up that Switch bundle since I was waiting for Mario to pick it up and was hoping for a bundle.

Yeah. The 220 page art book is tempting but I am not sure it's worth that big of a difference. I still want to get an order in if I decide to grab it though.

Oh that insta-buy $30 price point. Feels like I can hold off for a while yet though.

I mean at this point it has been said enough, unless you want the game day one and don't have Amazon Prime, don't order from Amazon. The discount is not worth losing out on what launch week is for games. I learned it the hard way too. They purposely sit on the game too. As soon as I complained and had to have order changed, magically the game was in stock, shipped from the warehouse an hour later and I had it the next morning.

I had to explain this to a couple of friends last night. They will be playing Battlefront 2 digitally on day one. I said it will be a week or more (In Newfoundland) before I will be able to play with them as I'm getting it from Amazon. Also said I'm getting it for $50 instead of $80 and $100 they are paying so it'll be worth the wait.

Great headphones. 3D Audio in the whopping 3 Non VR games that currently support it is great too.
