For the NES Classic we were never able to pre-order till right when they were ready to finally ship them, so it wouldn't surprise me if they left us in suspense till the end again. Only good thing about it is the average consumer will have forgotten about it by then to make it easier for us to snag them.

Could you buy me one daddy?
Also holy shit Costco has finally started selling OLEDS. My dream to get one under $2500 this black friday is alive.
Check a few Gas Stations. Some will carry them, or so I'm told.
Which one?
They are selling the B7s as of now.

Yep, gas stations are the way to go for those!

Amazon is doing a Get a $50 GiftCard get 10$ Credit right now.
https://www.amazon.ca/b/ref=gbps_rlm_s-3_dd9c_c490c526?&node=13951403011&smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB
Saw it on Amazon Goldbox.

Hmmm, says I'm not eligible. Maybe it's because I did the $100 for $5 credit before?

Yeah seems like promo credit can only be done once. But I'm sure you can bother the CSR's and they'll let you do this one as well.
It's worth a shot. Thanks!
I'm apparently ineligible, as well, and haven't done the $100 credit thing.

Two reasons why this Gift Card thing might not be working for people:
1) The deal could be gone as the deal says "Quanities Limited".
2) ANY gift card activity might make you ineligible as the offer is for "New Gift Card Customers".
But I don't work for Amazon so who the hell knows.

Honestly I think it's the latter.

Hmm. I did buy a gift card mid June but not as part of any promotion.

You must have been damn lucky then because I was allowed once to refund a game that was flat out busted, and ever since they refuse everything and shove the whole "you already got your one goodwill gesture refund" bs at me.
I ended up saying screw it after being 100% digital since launch and now I will only buy physical because of how brutal they have been with digital.
Amazon CSR sent me this: https://forums.redflagdeals.com/amazon-ca-10-credit-when-buy-50-amazon-gift-card-ymmv-2087331/
I don't really know if it's the same thing because that thread is from March and this promotion was on Goldbox, but I tried.

Yeah I don't think CSR's are supposed to do that.

More than I am willing to pay right now (and I want a 65-inch which is $5000) but that is actually a pretty good deal as it includes a $800 Soundbar and a $400 4K blu-ray player for $3500.
Looks like it is a promo from LG as Best Buy has the same deal. I thought about going to Best Buy and getting the UHD player since I bought my B7 a couple of weeks ago, but I got it for $500 less than this which is more than the UHD player and I don't have any interest in the soundbar.

So do i get persona 5 or gravity rush 2? i liked persona 4 and liked gravity rush 1 too
Persona 5 is 80-100 hours. Gravity Rush 2 is 20-30 hours.
Persona 5 is well-loved. Gravity Rush 2 is well-loved but has quite a few detractors.
I'd say Persona 5 is the right move, since you'll likely find Gravity Rush 2 on Black Friday for $30-40, and because of the amount of content.
But the Gravity Rush series is real damn good, too. You're not going wrong, either way, in my opinion!

Gravity Rush 2 is the worst game I've played this year.
Edit: Completely agree with killroy

Btw the Amazon reload offer is not the same as the GC offer, I had both on Prime day. Recently purchasing a GC or accepting a GC offer is probably what makes you ineligible.
Go with Persona 5. Gravity Rush 2 is more like Gravity Rush: Part 2. It doesn't stray too far off from the Vita nor the Remaster, if you didn't like those you're not gonna like GR2 either.

Have to agree.
It sucks because I really like the writing and style of the game but my god is the mission design awful. Also it way overstays its welcome.

They were too busy making Knack 2 the masterpiece it will end up being.

Uh, wow, I didn't realize there was a Gravity Rush 2 hate brigade until now.
As someone who liked the original Gravity Rush, I thought Gravity Rush 2 was great, but there are some frustrating missions and optional challenges in there for sure (fucking stunt double sequence). But if anything, GR2 is even more charming than the original, and the plot Goes Places. And I never grew tired of the online treasure hunt challenges the game would throw at you. Combat is very similar to the first game, though you have the different fighting styles to add a bit of flavour. The environments are gorgeous, and the game looks great in general. I think if you liked the first game, you'll definitely get something out of the sequel.
That said, I'd still pick Persona 5 over Gravity Rush 2.

Can Amazon do a price match?
Just noticed that Pokken is 77.60$CAD on Play-Asia, so that's better than Amazon's ridiculous 99,99$ placeholder price.

Nope, they don't even match themselves.

There's a spot on each product page where you can notify them of a lower price somewhere else, but there's no guarantee they'll match it.
Just did that, hopefully they'll get their heads out of their asses.
The game is out in two months, surely they can put the right price on it, even Mario Odyssey has been corrected now.
Got it, thanks!

Yep, the iOS app sucks though. It's great on desktop for me though, especially with a browser extension that lets you right-click an image and upload it to your account and copy the link to your clipboard for easy pasting to GAF.

So i got gravity rush 2 , it was cheaper im going to try to finish it this week and sell it after to get persona 5
Is it for PC or console?
This one's 1TB, for $79.99.

But if your budget is $100, and can squeak it to $110+tax, the 2TB version is one sale.
