I'm mostly digital since 2012 anyway, but I still buy boxed PS4 exclusives at retail. Canceled my auto-renew and 3 game pre-orders on Amazon. The value prospect has been dropping for long enough. Also migrated my wishlist to Best Buy. They have price alerts anyway. I should have done that a while ago.

Look in the text of the message when quoting - it's inside the post, just hidden.
For those of you who missed it in the Canada Deals Discord (or aren't in the Discord), I made a thread RE: the Amazon 10% drop and who to contact - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1419892
P.S. Please do not harass CS over this. I know the lack of communication is frustrating but that's not an excuse to be rude if and when you decide to voice your concerns over this decision.

Going to be cancelling my Prime, now. I already had to use a calculator to determine if I would break even with the 20% Prime discounts, or not. At 10%, I am definitely not going to buy enough to pay for it.
On a side note, have there been any SNES Mini pre-orders, in Canada? I haven't been on this thread for a while.

I grabbed a Switch from eb games.ca this afternoon, but realized I probably don't need it now.
Anybody interested in buying it off me? I'll sell it at retail value ($456 I think)
I'm based around Liberty Village in Toronto.

Man dropping from 20% to 10% without notifying is such a low blow from Amazon. And our dollar is even getting better so wtf
Outside of price errors there hasn't been anything worthwhile vidya game-deal wise from Amazon for a while. I am only paying for Student Prime at the moment and the free one day shipping has been nice but my purchasing preference is slowly just moving over to BB, who are literally around the corner from me with their own dedicated online pick up desk

I just sold my 500gb version for $300 on the local Facebook buy and sell last week.
A little effort and you can get more.

Amazon doesn't give a refund for time remaining on Prime, do they? I only just signed up in June 😕
I hope this stings Amazon a bit. I'll keep my Prime membership because gaming deals aren't the only reason I opted to get one (in fact, I may have joined before that deal became a thing). But this is crappy, either way.
It's something you could sort of see coming, the way they sort of screwed around with it ahead of (and during) E3. I wonder if the goal might be to make future version of those occasional deals less appealing for non-Prime customers as well (E3: 10% off, 20% for Prime?)
Needless to say, Best Buy would be wise to consider moving its membership program north of the border. Would get me shopping there... I never buy games there anymore.

Cancelled my auto renew for Prime. With the direction Best Buy was already headed in before, I'm a 100% sure that GCU will not be showing up over here even at a higher price. Looks like Wal-mart $50 deals is all one can really hope for. Then just wait for games to drop in price after release rather than get them on release day.
LOL, just like "we haven't cut anything from past games, only added"
Libraries are indeed the best. Shame that mine doesn't dabble in cartridge based games (I don't think they've figured out how to secure them), so no Switch loans for me (or 3DS, DS, Vita).
Whoa!
I demanded my money back in full, mostly just to signal that I was serious, and they gave me a full refund within 20 minutes or so. I signed up last year.
I'd love Amazon's customer service policies if the company wasn't always trying to deceive and cheat us.
Amazing.

Has Cogeco always made someone pay for a regular cable box?
I've had HDPVR's for years but took one in I wasn't using and decided I would just get the standard box but they said that its $5 a month for one.
Why the hell should someone who's paying monthly for cable be forced to pay $5 more just to be able to watch the damn thing.

It was that one on .com I would have bit for that price. Still on the fence now with $150 off, I really want it, however!
