Persona 5 won't show up but the other titles might.
Best Buy is going to lose out on the few remaining pre-orders that they had sealed up.
Tough nuts for them.

I seem to get everything on or slightly before release, although games are more likely to come on release day (and if it's UPS, my guy on the west end comes consistently 5-6pm).

Movies usually come the week before with Prime. Last half a dozen releases all arrived on the Thursday prior to release. Go figure.

Thanks for the info, every time I've ordered from amazon, its been UPS that delivers and my north end guy comes late afternoon, early evening. I've never preordered a game from Amazon before so its good to know that it usually comes on release. Best buy was always either release or the day after.

Also not part of the promotion.

Spreadsheet updated. Dragon Quest Heroes is not yet eligible. Sword Art Online Vita is eligible for the promo but PS4 is not. In both cases, I'm guessing it will be soon?

My last order is just me throwing everything and the kitchen sink in so I have them discounted just in case I decide I want them.

I wonder when I should start placing my orders since I'm going to have to bug the customer service people about some stuff.

1) Adding my $45 Fire emblem order for awhile back to this order

2) getting the discount on Legend of legacy manually if they don't add it by then

3) seeing if they can price match Last Song and Project X zone from Best buy

1) Should take about 3 minutes with a CSR: "Hello I would like to transfer X game from order Y to order Z while keeping the price on order Y"

2) Rep might not want to do it, ask another rep.

3) They don't usually price match, but if the price drops before release you will pay the new price - 30%, while Best Buy you will pay whatever is lower: new price OR old price - 20%

Hum....

Just holding out on Bravely second so I can order my 3ds games all at once... I'd like to make 1 order per system instead of just one large order..

As for the price matching it couldn't hurt to ask. I figure they priced it higher by mistake or something and it'll go done before launch eventually but no harm trying to get it fixed now.

Just to be 100% clear, I can pre-order Xenoblade X, Zelda Wii U and.... something coming out in 2016 (SMT X FE!!!) on Amazon.ca, then cancel the rest of the order after I get Xenoblade and call it a day? They'll charge me once they ship my order of Xenoblade X at $69.99 - 30%, then once I cancel the rest it'll just disappear (If I really feel like cancelling... I want those games though so might keep them, but need to be sure I'll have the option)?

How do I apply the code? Is it during checkout (after I've entered shipping and billing info), or when I'm adding everything to the cart? I'm going to use Paypal linked to my debit card to pay I think.

Thanks in advance you lovely people. First time pre-ordering anything in life.

XenobladeX comes out first so once it's arrived (heck I think you can do it even earlier), cancel the other two if you want. You still pay the discounted price and have nothing to lose.

You apply the code before you hit submit order. As a matter of fact, during payment information you may see "$xxx CDN promotional balance" which is the 20%/30% off of your order. You can see if it was added by looking at the final balance before you hit submit order. Can't use Paypal but as long as you input a valid temporary payment option, you can come up with something before the first item ships.

Did you already place the order or was the order in your cart? I want to do the same thing you did!!!
Click to expand...

I missed this, sorry

what do you mean already place the order? I had two big orders of a mishmash of games and the old FE order so three in total. just told them to move that to one of the big ones. that's it. at first he moved it but gave me the new $49.99 price. told him I wanna keep the $44.99 price I had. some hocus pocus and he lowered the game to $30

You can't use PayPal on Amazon.

Is it safe to do one huge order??? can I cancel just one game if I need to later?
Click to expand...

yes

Amazon lets you do one giant ass order and you're free to cancel games individually even when some have already shipped. they're not like Best Buy where you gotta talk to CS by phone or email to get rid of specific stuff

maybe just maybe I wanna help out with the E3 Deals thread next year (fat chance, how about no deals?). gonna write a FAQ or some shit and it'll be the first thing you see when you get in here

Nice additions, Lost Song, Star Ocean 5 and DQ Heroes were 3 of the 4 I was waiting on.

But that only leaves me with SMT X FE on Best Buy. Need to either get a second game or just wait and hope a bit more.

Is priority shipping necessary or does free shipping get you on release date anyways (near T.O.)?

It only cost me 21 but whatever, every little bit counts.

I need to add FF7Remake, not sure if I should reorder everything though.

Just contact CS.

Also, anyone know if Amazon.ca PC games can be redeemed on Steam?
