Yep, they charged my CC as well, so fingers crossed.
I hope there's a tweet or some kind of link for this.
Not that I don't believe you, it's just I've needed to show the clerks that promotions like this exist.

My 3DS version that I'll never play is preparing for shipment but not the Switch one...

How long does it usually take Amazon to price match something Best Buy has? This isn't game-specific.
It was in one of their promo emails advertising $299 Recycled Limited Edition Consoles. I tried following the link to see if they're advertising on their site and don't see anything.
Maybe they'll throw an ad up tomorrow? I can see recycled consoles on sale on their site.

Ohhh, same! (for both the game and amiibos) Come through, Amazon!
I complained last night, and ended up getting a $5 courtesy for the supposed delay. oops.
Best you can do is report the lower price and hope they match it. They don't have an actual price match policy for other retailers.

Just like old times.
Thats wild. The one here doesnt show it, Im really hoping thats just a typo.
Oh so that's why the bundle was 500$
Probably a mistake unless they are giving some gift with it.

Legit, they SHIPPED my copy of Destiny 2 on Monday.
Not the Monday before the game. The Monday after. A full fucking week after. I talked to support on Friday, and they legit told me it was because I didn't have Prime. Thats why it was shipped so late.
And guess where they shipped it from? The distribution centre 20 minutes away from me.
Fucking lol.

Walmart charged my cc today for my Xbox One X Scorpio Edition pre-order. I wonder why they're charging now when it doesn't ship until the 7th...

well prepare for them to charge you every 4 days and only let go of it every 7 days, hope you didnt use visa debit
Already contacted Shoppers Customer Support about this. Will report back whether or not this is a typo.
Hope it's 79.99. Was going to pick this up from them next weekend.

I don't know if any folks near Scarborough Town Centre are still interested, but the Dollarama there had a bunch of Guitar Hero Live controller + game bundles for Wii U available.
Damn it, are these ever anywhere west of Yonge Street? It's all Ottawa and Scarborough and shit. I've yet to find any.
Yup, was pretty terrible to be honest. Most things were 20% off. Will wait for deeper discounts. Place was packed, I don't think Sears has ever been that busy before...
This was more or less my experience, but I needed some socks and some new Dockers and some new kitchen essentials so 20% off on some of that was about as good as I was hoping for. They got some good sweaters and some really fair prices, I don't know that you'll do much better than 20% off reasonable prices buying fall/winter stuff in October.
I would say that while the deals aren't awesome, remember that Target sold out of its liquidation stock early, so don't wait too long if you're set on something.

Sort of the idea really. HMV had crazy good liquidation deals though!

I went to the mall every week with a friend to see what the new percentage off was. It was like a countdown to closing, with a 10-20% increase each time.
Got lots of nice deals!

Don't think BB got Metroid to me on time either. Guess Fire Emblem will ship sometime tomorrow and CP will leave a notice for me to get it, even though someone is always home.
Apartment hunting sucks!
Latest thing, call a place, leave a message, get no answer response. Try using their online form to set up an appointment, later that day I get an email back saying the appointment is cancelled and to call the superintendent via a different number. I do, he says he won't be showing the apartment until Friday... I call at 9AM this morning, immediately he tells me it's already been rented.
... ugh.

That's dickish of him to do.
That blows. Best of luck on finding something good next time though!
Yeah. My guess is someone already in the building is moving into it... at least that is what I would hope the reasoning be.
Thanks. At the least I know for certain I wouldn't want a guy like this as my superintendent.
They tweeted it this morning. Excellent.

Well you dodged a bullet there. Imagine all the trouble you would've had if you actually got it.
Yeah the first round is generally pretty bad. In a few weeks it'll probably be better.
It was hilarious how busy the Sears was last weekend.

Nice. Still not sure if I want to trade in the controller considering it was $50 before but guess we'll see =P
True enough. Definitely not the kind of person I want to have to deal with.
I heard from some people that prices were actually cheaper in the weeks prior to yesterday(ie. Sears jacked up the prices on most items right before liquidation to give the illusion that there's a deal to be had)
Thats true with all of these. Consumers are so dumb when it comes to these closing sales. I remember when HMV was closing, the discounts started at like 15% (which Generally just takes HMV prices down to normal prices), and the store was fucking PACKED. By the time the discounts reached the 30-50% range, all the good stuff was gone.
People are just blinded by the idea of a closing sale, any logic goes out the window.
thanks
Nah, someone probably went there early in the morning. Apartment hunting is like limited Nintendo products, 9am is too late.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Looks like they're temporarily out of stock. Not like I preordered months in advance to avoid such a scenario or anything.
Oh well, I was planning to finish Nier Automata this weekend if anything.
