Yeah my work has 7 just sitting here. I should buy them all and sell them. Knowing my luck they'd become readily available as soon as I tried though.
If there is one. I pre-ordered them, but if the E3 deal comes along I will cancel them
Just preordering now to save my ass in case of no E3 deals.
Oh shit Kirby 3DS is releasing soon, I should tell my sister she absolutely loves that series.

I don't get why this game is advertised as discounted by $10. Isn't the retail price $35 instead of $30 in the States? Seems like the regular price to me.
Retail price in US had been $40, $45 here until Konami dropped the price.

Oh, that makes sense then. Thanks.

Well this years E3 deals will be all $10 more than usual at $50 I guess, oh well...
Still waiting on mine from FS, I hope tomorrow.
Whoops, my Xbox Live Gold just expired. Perfect timing that is, weeks before Dark Souls II. I have gone whole-hog into PS4 so I guess I don't need to look for another year. Think it's more cost-effective to just buy a month or does anywhere have old three- or six-month cards still hanging around for cheap?
1-year subs if possible.

What if I already bought Pokemon X on the eshop and register my 3ds + animal crossing, will I get another code?
I hope these retailers realize that instead of getting my $30 at the normal price, they are getting $0.
I guess I'll wait months/years and buy used.
Wait a week or two after release and you can get some good deals on Kijiji.

Nice that first party 3ds games are starting to be priced lower, at least in the US.

My rant: My friend's car broke down and I called CAA or AMA to help us, they left me on hold for like half an hour while it's -37 degrees
They didn't come after all and we had to get another friend to help, and yes I pay an annual membership for nothing! hope this makes you less upset lol

Kijiji's pretty prominent in the east right? Looks pretty dead in the west, GVRD to be specific.

Yeah I should do that!
Kijiji is prominent here in Calgary, it's probably the only way to sell anything locally, Craigslist is almost dead here!

Did Nintendo already notice the $45 price point for 3DS games was a bad idea? I see the new Layton is already $40, at least at Futureshop and Amazon!
Yeah, so you could cash it in for Y, put another X on another 3DS, sell the code, etc.

Complete opposite in Greater Vancouver. Craigslist is the way to go around these parts. Kijiji has a fraction of the activity. Surprising there's such a difference - wonder why.
Layton games tend to retail for $34.99 if I remember correctly.
that's a third party amazon seller. theres always one or two that keep prices crazy high for desperate people. the ps4 camera is not hard to find, walmart seems to have them in stock most of the time.
God dammit the price hike is pissing me off.... I saw the thread about the Destiny beta codes being sent out and realized I had not pre-ordered it yet. No idea why since I've known since day one that I would buy that game... Now it's 69$ at both FS and EB.....
I see that it's still 60$ on Amazon but I hate ordering games online. The only thing we can be sure of about Canada Post is that they will do a terrible job when you really need them.

Alright. I'm going to resurrect shipping GAF (forgive me GAF gods). So who's received a shipping notice for South Park Stick of Truth?
I didn't yet.

No SP shipping notice for me either. Ordered when it was $45.

Essentially this.
My first move was buying infamous off of psn rather than fs.
I get it. Stores aren't making as much profit. But if I have alternatives, I'm going to take them. Sorry.
So are PSN pre-orders still at 60$ generally? I checked for Destiny but doesn't look like we can pre-order right now.
Mikey Jr.

I preordered infamous. A straight $60. Absolutely no tax.
Great...maybe I'll wait for Sony to offer the pre-order, hopefully this will be before the beta.

i also buying infamous off psn. screw paying $70 +tax for games
I'm tempted to cancel my FS pre-order (it's still at 60$) and go digital instead... I don't really want to keep discs around and swapping them and all that...
Yeah I think I'll do that.
Pretty sure I'm gonna get taxed tho since there's always taxes for me on PSN but there's taxes on FS too anyway so doesn't matter.
Edit: Oh looks like there's no taxes for me this time yay... Now wtf, I'm adding funds to my wallet using paypal... I have the choice of adding 5$, 10$, 25$,50$ or... 147.15$? Lol wtf, isn't that a bit random?
Edit2: Oh right, it's because the max you can have in your wallet is 150$ and I already have 2.85.
Not when I add using Paypal...or haven't seen the option anyway.
Added 50$ and then 10$ and pre-ordered the game without issues. I wish they would put a 60$ option since that's a common price payed on the store.
I would just go to the page and buy. It will tell you that it's insufficient, and you'll have the option to top off your wallet at the price you're buying.
