Canadian Gaming "Deals" and Discussion Thread 6: Sorry, We Can't Afford a New Thread

For those with previous order at Best Buy, I contacted support and here is what I said to get 20% off previous order:

I am emailing you about your current promotion, save 20% when you pre-order two games. I have two eligible games on two different order and these are both out of stock right now. Could you help me apply the promotion to them? I really don't want to cancel them and wait for stock to come back and risk losing my order and would really appreciate if you could do that! Orders are: ____ and ____.

and their great reply:
I’m happy to inform you that a credit in the amount of 20% off has been applied to your Bestbuy.ca order # ____and ____ on 02/17/16.
The no heart attack way!

You'd think they would allow that consistently, but apparently it's a crap shoot with Best Buy CS :/

great you got it to work though
 
HAHAHAHA YES GUYS I TOO ALSO UNDERSTAND THE REFERENCE I AM ONE OF YOU


Someone please PM me what it means :(

I don't get it :-(

People complains that they don't receive their anime imports or something??

I'll hazard a guess, TV GAF and Anime GAF talks about shipping too somethimes?

By sometimes I mean a lot

Shipping is a term for favoring relationship couples, lol

OHHHH

We have a winner

This makes so much sense

ooooohhhh

I have never been prouder to be a member of CanadaGAF. I loved all of this.

Do they sell accessories for the New Nintendo 3DS in Canada? Cover plates, charging cradle, screen protectors?

I got my mom to get me some cover plates which she'll ship to me, but it would be nice if i could pick up some stuff myself as well.

I got a HORI screen protector at EB for 10 bucks but it's for the New XL only.

Although I don't think old XL and new XL are that different

The only place for cover plates and charging cradles is probably Nintendo's online store.
 
I bought my charging cradle off ebay. I think it was a third party reseller that imported stuff from Japan. This was before Nintendo started selling it though.

I saw the Yokai faceplates in EB Games before.
 
FE arrived at work today!

Unrelated, has the FExSMT game have any preorders up, or even been announced for NA? I want to order the art works book, but I worry about shipping costs with Amiami.

Yep... It's part of the 20% off pre-order deal that's currently on at Best Buy.

For any fellow SF noobs out there, this HORI mini fight stick is a good option at $50. http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B014KXMEW4/ Currently OOS but ships when it's back in stock.

Sure, it has a square gate and doesn't have SANWA components, but you probably don't need them (yet) if you're a noob.

This dude did a good review of it.

I have it, it's actually okay if you're cheap/poor like me.

No way in hell would I spend over $100 or even over 200 on one when I'm a filthy casual, I don't know how to use the stick well anyways.

If anyone knows where I can get bravely second CE, let me know.

You dont by chance have Far Cry Primal on order from amazon do you? They might have grouped it.

Picked up Steam cards at Pacific Centre as did my friends. Thanks for the heads up!
Make the next thread, yo.
We'll probably hit 20k when I'm in LA. Is it sacrilege to make the thread on American soil? OT2 was started in Toronto, finished in the plane above this great country and posted in Vancouver on Canada Day cryingbeaver.jpeg

The value of the thread might go up if posted in the US and then converted to Canadian Internet.

We already share a landmass and a website with them. I refuse to share a thread with them too. But really though, do what ever is most convenient. New thread = business as usual so whateves.

L.A. huh? Pokemon related?
