I feel like I've seen the 27inch version of that Dell go on sale for nearly 500. Maybe wait until Black Friday?



If that's all you want, you can pay a lot less.

First off: what kind of games do you play? Your priorities will depend highly on that.

Also, what kind of GPU are you running?

Yeah I think the S27 gets close to 550 give or take. But iirc, the 24 has better QC, DPI, etc. Then again, it's dell, good return/exchange, etc etc.

All types of games. I have a i7700k 4.5 ssd 1 gig and 1060 3gb

S2417DG then; but if you really want to stick with 1080, get a non *sync monitor with 120/144hz, and use the leftover money for a GPU upgrade next year.

But if you get the s24 when it's on sale, you'll be set for a while anyway; you'd just need the occasional GPU upgrade without having to worry about buying a new monitor for quite some time.

edit - let me get this out of the way first, if you know someone that has a high refresh rate monitor or a gsync monitor, play some games on it and see if it's worth spending the extra money.

My copy of Gundam Versus shipped from Amazon, and I got my DLC code emailed

Ah shit, I forgot to cancel this one. Haven't gotten the shipping mail yet. Hopefully it's not too late.

 

[LegendOfGood]

Best Buy emailed me to say shipment on my SNES pre-order is delayed due to an inventory issue. Not impressed.

Yep, estimated delivery date is Oct 2 for me now. Not surprised honestly.

 

[catpurrcat]

Urgh, tracking on my SNES Mini from FNAC (France) says that it's waiting for me to pay customs fees... I'm already paying more than retail price here for it ($145), and now I'll have to pay customs on top of it?! Urgh. In retrospect, I probably should've waited and got one tomorrow morning, but that was before Nintendo realized there was no reason not to sell it in Québec...

Any idea how much I should expect to pay, and/or if there's any way to speed up the process? (I suppose I have to wait for Canada Posts to knock at my door and ask for the money)

They can collect at the door. HST on item value + $9.95 handling fee (also plus HST). More if there are duties.

My UK SNES shipped from Amazon.co.uk via UPS, even though I paid import deposit are they still gonna charge me at the door?

No. You're fine.

Same. Not surprised though I totally expected this.

Were you charged? I haven't gotten an email about this yet and was charged earlier this morning.

 

[sikkinixx]

I’m in the same boat and figured I was home free but maybe not.

 

[socksfelloff]

Throwing it out there incase anyone is interested :

I've got a brand new snes classic(picking it up from Eb tomorrow) that I'd like to trade for a nes classic. I'm in the GTA

Aw snap. Oh well, at least I'll have the nice Super Famicom look... but I'm not sure it was worth paying almost double MSRP. Thanks for the info!

 

[krae_man]

SNES Classic Shipping emails 3 minutes apart.

Woo Hoo!

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Best Buy emailed me to say shipment on my SNES pre-order is delayed due to an inventory issue. Not impressed.

Were you charged? I have yet to receive that email, but I also have yet to be charged despite getting an order in within the first minute.

 

[Socreges]

Mine has been shipped. Arriving Monday. Cool

 

[Cru Jones]

Same, not expecting it before Monday

I think everyone got this email though?

 

[TheQueen'sOwn]

Best Buy emailed me to say shipment on my SNES pre-order is delayed due to an inventory issue. Not impressed.

Same. My card has been charged though.
New delivery estimate is Tuesday, October 3rd.

 

[Yoss]

I got 2 emails from Best Buy, one saying my SNES shipped and the other saying it was delayed due to inventory. Looks like it'll arrive Monday. Oh, I'm in Calgary.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Love how they wait until the day before release to send these emails 👌

 

[CaptainSmirnov]

Is walmart going to have these tomorrow? I feel like they don't keep up with new tech like they do in the states, but this is a popular item.



Nvm, saw their post, all walmart stores will have it.

 

[Achtius]

got nothing yet still =/

 

[DJ_Lae]

I think I managed to get a SNES Classic put on hold for me tomorrow, but I guess we'll see when the store opens.

I figured that going a lesser known route (ie, SDM, LD, etc) might pan out better than EB, Walmart, or Best Buy.

Of course, I won't trust anything until I actually have one in my hands. And I fully expect that to be a painful process.

 

[TheQueen'sOwn]

got nothing yet still =/

The only notice that matters is the shipping notice.
As of now, we're in the same boat!

 

[BigJonsson]

EB shipped mine, Purolator has it

 

[Sealtest]

Just got shipping email from Best Buy. Guess mine was one of the lucky orders =/

 

[The Elite]

EB and Best Buy both shipped.

 

[zroid]

EB.ca at midnight right? hopefully I'll get one this time...

though Best Buy actually advertised it in the flier so they will be getting some in stores for sure. you might be able to place an in-store reservation in the morning.

edit: oh apparently EB will have walk-ins at all locations! maybe this thing won't be that hard to get after all. especially if you can wait for later shipments. If I can't get one online tonight I'll try my luck tomorrow at the less busy store near me.

Right there with yas. Brutal.

9PM PT, IIRC, so a little more than three hours. I hope I can get one.

Best of luck to those of us trying.

 

[daftstar]

For those who are doing walk-in, how early are you gonna get there? Expecting long line-ups?

 

[arts&crafts]

Im in Toronto and Best Buy says shipped via Canada Post today. I didnt get any emails though ¯\_(&#12484_/¯ Although tracking says estimated delivery is Monday....even though its like 15 minutes away.

 

[JDH]

same here, did you get a shipping id assigned at least to the order?

I did just at 6:31pm, about 2 hours after getting the shipping delay email. Nothings been updated on the tracking though, so who knows if it will even go out tonight or tomorrow. My guess is I won't be getting it until Tuesday at this rate.

I'm not freaking out, but kinda disappointed is all :/

 

[AtlasJQ]

I got my Best Buy shipping notification for the SNES - October 10th expected delivery from Mississauga. Christ almighty.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

I got my Best Buy shipping notification for the SNES - October 10th expected delivery from Mississauga. Christ almighty.

wtf

it's not like they had a whole month to plan for this release or anything

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Lol still nothing for me xD

 

[Joel_Dawson]

Lol still nothing for me xD

Nothing for me either. Says my card has been charged but no email for shipping or delay. Come on BB let’s go!!

 

[explodet]

Unless they're getting to your door via a herd of trained snails, I'd call that estimate a filthy lie.

 

[J-bo]

Exact same thing happened to me. Wondering if there is any shot it comes tomorrow. Edit: also in Calgary

 

[Tan]

A friend told me he was told by someone at ebgames that they'll have over 100 in that one store.

This is how much stock they'll have in-store tomorrow, even after pre-orders are delivered?

I'm still on the fence about whether or not I want to get one. Tomorrow morning will probably be my last chance..

 

[LegendOfGood]

Well, got a London Drugs shipment notice. So that makes up for the BB disappointment.

I checked my order status on their website and it said it wouldn't arrive before Oct. 2nd.

Hmm. Interesting. Wonder if I went in at 7 tomorrow, would they even be on the shelf yet?

 

[Megasoum]

They are opening at 8am at my local one so I'm planning on getting there around 7:30 and get in line.

I got a Switch on day 1 without pre-orders that way at the same Walmart

 

[TheExodu5]

All types of games. I have a i7700k 4.5 ssd 1 gig and 1060 3gb

With a 1060 I'd say aim for 1080p, 144Hz.

144Hz gets incredibly beneficial if you're playing FPS.

Anything that's 1080p, 144Hz, GSync.

I just bough this guy: AOC G2460PG

It is on sale for $440 on newegg.ca

1080p, 144Hz, GSync

edit: for some reason the link does not work but just search for AOC G2460PG and you should find it

 

[Joel_Dawson]

Just got an email...my SNES classic will be here in Barrie first thing in the am shipped by Best Buy. Back to ‘The Shining’.

Seems like it's fairly common after all with much more stock.

 

[BigJonsson]

Lol it's like the switch launch....
