I don't think we will. It's pushing it a little late since we're already a month from launch. They probably wanted to drive preorders (with stuff like that) sooner rather than later, know what I mean?

You'd be buying a controller you might not want and a game you might not want (40 + 40).
But isn't the controller $60 so it should be (40 game + 60 controller) $100?

Is the controller 60? I dunno then. lol
Good thing you fixed it, now you'll get it late for a completely different reason.
Effectively 2. FS and BB ship from the same building, after all!

Talk about covering all of your bases.
Did you book your pre-order late or something?
I hit up the EB on Strasburg the first day they started taking pre-orders for PS4s.
If I change my mind on buying it (giving it some serious thought) and I can transfer my pre-order to you, you're more than welcome to it.
I preordered from all 3 they day the online preorders went live just in case. My brother is taking one and I still haven't decided what I will do with the third yet.
I'll have it kthx.
edit: oh hey I got an email for the Pokemon X/Y guide order I placed on Amazon. Says it should be here by the 24th or 25th.
Do you live in KW?

Well, speaking of preorders I have it preordered online at BB and in-store at EB, I'm hoping for a midnight launch at EB
Anybody spotted Red or Blue DS4s on preorder somewhere?
Nope.
All the way to the worst coast; BC. I was just kidding anyway, don't got any games to play if I got that thing.
I'm not in any major rush to get a PS4, but I'm still kinda hoping Shoppers will have a super or mega redemption soon after launch. That's what I'm waiting for... assuming they get them at or near launch (I imagine they will).
Unfortunately I am NOT looking forward to the rejiggering I'll have to do with my AV setup. The receiver only has two HDMI inputs. I'll probably have to disconnect the PS3 and put its video direct-to-tv and use optical audio into the receiver. Bleh.

What city are you in? Toronto? Also you can try here: http://www.gamestreet.ca/search.php?search_query=pokemon&x=-1330&y=-81/
EDIT:
Anyone find the Vita Instant Game Collection bundle in Toronto? http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00AFLA0ZE/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_10?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've seen them on the American Amazon and Sony Stores.
Really? I thought it was just for White 1, will Black 2 ring up also at $20?
Capcops something something.
Vancouver, but I used to live in Tdot back in 1995, thanks tho.
Good suggestion on Shoppers, I hope they still have that copy of Platinum at the store near my place.
At SDM? Yup!
So, with the ol' order-three-for-$40 thing at FutureShop, is there a way to cancel a single item out of an order without cancelling the whole order? I have Arkham Origins, ACIV, and The Division in one. Warner put out a 17-minute walkthrough today to sell the game...
It did the opposite for me. Anything I can do to lose that without losing the Ass Creed I'd get in a week and the Ubi game next year?

What about the older games like D/P/Pt?
Not... Technically.
If it's not the last order, what you CAN do is cancel your credit card after you get Assassin's Creed, then Futureshop will try like 2 or 3 times to get the payment through for your middle order and will eventually cancel the shipment for it, effectively cancel your order. THEN add a new credit card so the 3rd order will go through.
Not super-nice, but... it works. :lol
Yes, I return online orders in-store all the time when I change my mind about a game. Also, returning it won't affect the price of the other games in your order.

Yup that's what I do as well, just print the receipt from your online account and take to any store!
What sale?
Aren't the Nintendo games on sale/clearance only temporary? If they aren't I can try again today.
Target is hilarious. They clear things out on the regular, it appears, and they don't put per-customer limits. They must really want those shelves cleared.
The stickers say Black & White 2 are $20 till Dec 13th.
Oh ok, then I'll just get White 1 and Black 2, since for White/Black those are also $20 at Staples.
Any VancouverGAF or even the rest of CanadaGAF can help me find copies of HeartGold/SoulSilver and Diamond/Pearl/Platinum? I don't need all of them just one of each set, I'm looking for new. It feels like these games are discontinued already or something. =/
You should get the same color for the sequel. So either go Black and Black 2 or White and White 2.
Why? I just wanted to change things up that's all, also the monsters on W1/B2 look cooler, hence my reasoning.
But then again I picked a deer thing over that cool monster thing for X.
Well they are discontinued. Nintendo stopped the production of these games a little while back. hoarders have bought up a lot of the remaining supply and sell them (new/used but complete) for a higher price. Amazon.ca is a perfect example.
Also CanadaGAF, what are your opinions on this site and its deals? http://www.greatcanadianrebates.ca/saleslist/electronic/#IND_B
Well you don't have to get the same colour, but the games kind of expect you to. Story-wise you will probably get the most out of it, and you can also catch the cover legendary which was unavailable in the previous game. On the other hand, I believe the other version exclusives remain the same so if you want to complete your Pokédex, switching colours might benefit you.
Really? Now this is tough, I went from B1/B2 to W1/B2. And the hoarders thing is really lame, because I like getting new sealed games, I only go used if I have no viable choice.
The guy who picked up six DSi's and a PS3 was my favourite

Go B2 for hard mode. In hindsight Gen 5 felt like a step back after HG/SS. I only put 100 hours into B and didn't even catch the legendary in W2. I have 400+ hours in HG but I was also younger back then lol
DSi isn't even worth hoarding. 3DS is backwards compatible.

With how filled the DC is, you have no idea... It's an understatement let's just say.

Assuming you haven't purchased or found Black 2 yet, I have a (I think) still sealed copy that I picked up on release and then never got around to. Hell, I've barely touched Black, and I just bought Y, and my backlog is already massive so getting back to a previous game probably isn't going to happen.
You're welcome to it for a flat $20, I'll cover shipping too.

I dunno, I love the feel of the DSi and its placement of the dpad is much better for those DS games that use it heavily. When they originally released the 3DS I couldn't believe how much of a step back the overall construction was.
It's also sturdier, making it good for kids, and DS games look a lot better (and/or bigger) on a native screen.
I still keep my XL around for DS games because the screen and battery life are fantastic, and Lites are great for my GBA games, but yeat the plain DSi model is worthless at this point unless you're gifting it to kids or something.

I'm in Calgary and if I didn't already put 3 seperate pre-orders out there (I wanted to make sure I have it day one) I'd take you up on this. Thoughtful of you to offer it up though - cheers!
