I think they got ~3 copies.
No idea
I complained when it and DQVII were only coming to me next week. I was reassured I would receive them today. Ya...not the case.
There are others here as well not receiving their games on release day.

Nope, Prime member here too. So pissed off and can't even contact them until after work.
Mine says "not shipped yet / arriving today" loool. Yeah right.

I contacted them and they said there is a "Techinical issue" with the shipment but they are trying to ship it again soon.
I asked if they received the shipment and if it was a stock issue, and the dude was like nah its a technical issue
wat
Fuck them. So if it's a technical issue, why does it occur on every damn release lol
For me it began with Gears 4.

Thanks for the suggestions. Those two seems to be pretty out of our way though.
Something closer to Hochelaga/Maisonneuve or Mercier would be more practical. Any ideas?
That is all my sushi knowledge for a *quality* place. Sorry.

Headsculpt of F4F "10 Link figure...
Good luck
Since a lot of stuff was coming out within the same time frame, I decided to trial out Amazon Prime. My Gravity Rush 2 order currently says "Not Yet Shipped" and "Delivery date pending". This is my third order since I got Prime, and this is already second failure to deliver.

It's Temporarily OOS so there's not much we can do.

It might be, last night they told me my copy was being prepared for shipping and just waiting to be assigned a carrier.
Thanks! Guess I'll go by google reviews or something then.
That's a great call. It's best not to force it if it isn't enjoyable and you can get some good coin back on it used through kijiji and ebgames if they are running a bump up promo. Not being able to do this, is why I tend to have to wait for some deep sales on PC.

Yep, that's what they told me.
They offered to extend my Prime by a month, I said nope don't bother I won't be renewing it. Then they offered $5 credit, I said nope again.
Whatever...NIOH demo should keep me busy for the weekend at least.

Regarding GR2:
Amazon: Upon checking with the leadership team, I see that the item will get back in stock on March 8th.
That...can't possibly be true.

Seriously, fuck Amazon right now. I'll just take the hit and get it from Best Buy if it's not here by Tuesday. GR2 is a game I have no problem paying full price for.
The Prime discount was nice though...

This seems to be the same thing that happened with Yomawari a few months ago. When I talked to them they said they'll get stock in a month or two. But after a week and a half, my copy shipped out.
Heck, the same thing with Overcooked happened as well. That also took a week after release to ship.
I'll wait for a week and then bite the bullet and order from Best Buy.

It's not... we'll most likely get it next week or something.

Seems like amazon is understocking and/or overwhelmed since the arrival of the Prime 20% off thing.

Amazon is shit for release day delivery or even to have the item shipped by the release date.
Don't know why this keeps coming up, it is well known they suck, especially if you don't have Prime.

This keeps coming up because most of us have prime. It wasn't always like this.

You can try Kazumi Sushi on 6394 Sherbrooke East. It's bring your own wine and the sushi is really good.

All the bad Amazon experiences with GR2 makes me think the Amazon Nintendo Switch not arriving on launch day stories will be epic.
Gravity Rush 2 is likely being treated as super niche, even with it being a bigger title than the original. But I'm shocked that even some pre-orders aren't being met. I figured it'd just be hard to find a copy in the wild.
Sony copying Nintendo yet again.
They just recently dropped the price down by as much as $200 on certain models. Try your luck on BST in various forums... I just bought one for $900 flat for a BNIB SP4 i5 128gb model and saved myself $550.
I guess be glad they even bother releasing a retail copy here. I still remember that GRR.
Thanks, looks good. May go there.

WOW, really glad I got my BestBuy preorder then...
Didn't know Sony was so conservative with niche releases now... I kinda regret trading-in my Last Guardian at EBgames now. I figured I'd buy it back at $20-30 down the line, but now I'm afraid it might just disappear. Urgh.

It never takes this long, it's very strange.
I can guarantee we recieved way more copies of TLG.

Phew, thanks for the info! That's definitely a game I'll want in my collection down the line, I just figured I might as well trade it in now with the double credit promo (I received $60, which is more than I paid for it) and buy it back on the cheap since I finished it and won't replay it for a few years at least.
Decided to head to EBGames to pick up a copy of Gravity Rush 2 (since lol amazon), and nearly didn't get one since all their copies were pre-order only.
Luckily, one of the employees decided to give me his pre-order since he was cool with not playing it till next week.
I knew this would be a niche game, but I've never had something like this happen before. There's always been at least one or two copies on the shelf.

Jeez, it's like when a physical Japanese Vita game used to come out.
