I bought it full price last week. My soul is burning right now. So worth it though, I'd buy at this price if I were you.
Not a dumb question. It is always being sold higher on Amazon by resellers and it's rarely in stock at MSRP. When the Neon colour gets restocked anywhere, it seems to sell out in 5 to 15 minutes. Grey restocks also tend to sell out quick, but a little slower than Neon. Grey stock sometimes even last for a couple hours. Because of the low inventory and quick sales, it's very rare to see one in stores or online at regular price.
Is 0 a requirement before playing Kiwami? I plan on getting 0 one day, but I'm curious if it's mandatory before diving into that one first.
Thanks... I thought it might be but I haven't seen one for less than $500 anywhere so I thought I was tripping out.
Probably not a requirement per se, as I'm pretty sure there is a decade or so gap between them, but it will definitely help frame some of the character motivations and why they are how they are, or what happened to them in that timeframe, etc.
Thanks! I might end up getting 0 this week, then!

Not sure if it's mandatory but I'd say it's a great place to jump into the series. I've been enjoying it a lot and and excited to continue through the series from here.

I've played every game in order of release (including Ishin, Kenzan and the PSP games) and 0 put so many things in perspective for me. It's definitely standalone though so it's your call in the end.
Awesome. I'll likely pick up 0 now and hold off on Kiwami till later in the fall. The price on 0 has been holding steady since it released so it finally being $55 is nice to see (plus I have PSN credit, which helps!).
Edit: The heck with it, buying 0 today and Kiwami at the end of August, haha.

I feel like we won't be seeing some deep discounts on a lot of games till maybe this Fall on both Amazon and BB. I'm personally waiting on KOFXIV, Blazblue CF and GGXrd Rev 2 physically but they never go on sale. Digital goes on sale like every other week lol

Amazon is a special kind of stupid I swear... they fucking wrapped Cloud in bubble wrap inside a box, I'm like yes finally one that's not fucked up... nope they fucking bent the entire box all to hell and gift wrapped it for me.
Guess that's another one being opened lol, I've had maybe 4 survive with nice boxes, Bestbuy sent Bayo P2 in perfect shape

Anyone have any good deals on any decent(ish) computer monitors? An old secondary broke the other day and I need a replacement, but am not looking to spend much more than 200 bucks.
Only caveat is that the stand needs to rotate into portrait mode, I'm vesa plate-less at this moment.

Yea, Amazon wrapped my Bayo Amiibo inside the box as well.
It didn't end up bending the cardboard but I can see how it could have.

that sounds kind of suspicious lol
Maybe it just fell out without you noticing and is on the ground somewhere now.

I thought that since I was opening all my splatoon and smash amiibos at the same time but I could only find 5 of the 6 I opened.

Too soon maybe
Wait... I'm looking at those controlers.... They didn't make the X and Y concaves?
This is fucking bullshit
I think that's a mistake in an Illustrator (or Photoshop) piece together of a controller Nintendo did.
This is a photo of it as well from Nintendo's site I think they look concave
Ok good...
Also I just realized that it will look weird to play it without a cart in the slot...
With the NES it didn't matter since the door was closed but on the SNES it will look off. They should have made a fake "21 in 1" cart lol

Does PSN charge for pre-orders right away or only once they launch? I'm wondering if I can remove my credit card from the payment methods once I pre-order a game?

Right away. They claim that sometimes they wait until launch, but all of my pre-orders have been charged at time of checkout.

Yup and make sure you are 100% certain about that game cus refunds aren't a thing with Sony =/

I was actually able to get a refund for South Park: The Fractured but Whole, but that was a rare exception due to the game getting delayed and not having a release date at the time. Funny thing was, pre-ordering that game gave me Stick of Truth for free automatically, and I got to play that game completely before getting my refund.
One of the few good memories I have with Sony's customer service.

Has Amazon ever price matched a digital price?, I have been waiting for a decent price drop on physical Yakuza 0 since it came out.

Ok, what is going on with with them.

Worded it incorrectly, Meant to just say get 8% off books
Oh nice, this includes pre-orders too. Thanks for the heads up!

Asked amazon.ca support why Axiom Verge wasn't getting the 20% Prime Discount treatment and this was their answer.
"I've checked with our concerned team and confirm that there is no such promotion available on our website.
If the current price is more than 20% off the List Price, the E3 promotion will not apply."
What the hell does that even mean? E3? Confused idiots.

Jeezus, sounds like a shit show once again.
That's not true at all, Sony will give refunds for preorders. I have done it a couple times with no issues at all.

I'm turning on mobile alerts for their twitter BBYC_GamersClub account. It worked really well to get me that Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition pre-order.
