Best Buy ended up giving me the generous discount down to $31.49. Who ended up giving you the $25 deal post price adjustment?
Monday is a holiday.
So... wait, 1yr PS+ for $37.50? Not bad.
Futureshop looks like it's having a labour day sale, I see "game pre-orders" as something that has a deal on it but the link is broken so I can't see what exactly the deal is. While trying to figure out what the deal was (not very impressive - $10 off select games when you pre order) I did find out that they're offering a steel-book when you pre-order Smash U which is kinda cool.
Yeah, I'm sure their support isn't as bad as someone like Bell (where they actually blame you rather than trying to address your issue). I'm just going by what some friends have said, but they are self sufficient as well so they were able to get things resolved.
Bandwidth doesn't matter much to me either as long as it is over ~200 GB or so for me, and unlimited nigth time doesn't do much for me either as most of my usage is during the day.
However, having a much faster connection at the same price (currently at least) is worth it for me.
there was a $10 off deal online when ordering at least two 3DS games at Best Buy
so I did PL vs PW and lolTekken. the former was 25 bucks after taxes.

Uh it absolutely "as bad as Bell", except even worse.
It's fine once you get everything hooked up, but if you want Teksavvy DSL it gets hooked up by Bell's technicians, so you're dealing with their horrible scheduling, their 8am to 5pm windows, their "I can't access the box in this apartment building, and rather than calling the landlord I'm just going to leave with no notice," and worse still since Bell doesn't really want to hook up 3rd party reseller's connections. I'm sure it's just as bad getting Rogers to hook up Teksavvy cable.

Any sign of the Nintendo Amiibo figures on any Canadian sites yet?
Pre-ordered on Amazon USA for now.

dude, what?
8 gig white - 300
32 gig black - 350
then price drop occurred so 32 gig black became 300 and 8 gig white eventually got phased out
right now, yeah they can be found easily for 200 for a 32 gig black through a refurb deal from Nintendo themselves.
edit: good going BB. Got my two copies delivered. maybe when I jump back on later, the XL cover plates bullshit will pan out D:
So PSN cards are off again?

Yeah I used it the last time they had that offer and nothing beats %15 off money!
Makes it easier to handle the Canadian prices!

I was wondering, how is futureshop's shipping times?
I preordered Smash 3DS on amazon and found out I wouldn't get it until the 11th, so I was hoping future shop could get it to me by the 6th.
I live like 40 minutes from Victoria, BC.

Isn't 60 the amount you can withdraw?
I wanted to grab eShop and a $100 or $200 worth of PSN cards :/
Cash advance. I doubt there is a purchase limit
YO AMAZON
lol they're delaying my Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus order. Game comes out on September 30th normally, Amazon's release date is now October 14th and expected shipping is October 17th
what the hell, was the packaging a giant ass cardboard box? lol

I ask because the Target site mentions a $60 transaction limit for their Red Debit Card along with other limits that they've mentioned at the bottom text:
http://www.target.ca/en/redcard/debit-card?lnk=gnav
I may just apply for the credit card and put a low limit.
They fit the Skyward Sword bundle in there, so I'm not sure what BB shipped that wasn't feasible.

It's cash advance.
that's weird. SS bundle is a couple of game cases thick. BB sent me PL vs PW in their same old paper packaging.

Bestbuy cancelled my order saying there's a law that prevents them from shipping English-only games to an address in Québec. Future Shop did that too a few years ago.
It's weird because I bought a few things that were only available in English in their stores. If they can get these things in store, it means they can be shipped, right? Oh and what about every other Canadian retailer that ships English-only games/movies everywhere the country? Yeah. Bullshit excuse.
CuthbertAllgoodz

The fact that it's random is weird... Some go through and some don't... How stores apply this law differently is also puzzling...
Did you have to bypass the "no shipping to Quebec" message when you pre-ordered? I did with the trick for Diablo 3 UE and they shipped it. Maybe if they realize it's English only after the pre-order is made is when they cancel?
I didn't get this message when I first pre-ordered. I got an e-mail later (in mid-July-ish) saying my order was cancelled because the game wasn't available in French. I even called them to see if they could do something but they supposedly couldn't do anything.
Pretty frustrating. Next year, I'll pre-order from Amazon.
What is this trick you speak of exactly?

Amazingly, after having to bug Amazon about my Tales of Xillia 2 order, PLxPW shipped today with no fanfare and should be in my grubby hands on Tuesday. Yeah, it's not release-day delivery, but it's as close as I've ever had from Amazon.
Now the question becomes why PLxPW was totally fine while ToX2 wasn't.

So wait is this some one day only thing next thursday or are they already on sale?

Neptunia shipped this morning... And arrives next Tuesday... After the long weekend. I-It's not like I wanted to play it this weekend or anything...
Guess I'll just play it next week in between classes when they start next week.

Thanks for the info. I'll try that next time!
It's too late for PL vs PW now, though. It's the game I wanted the most out of those I pre-ordered. Bleh...

So I did end up calling them and they said they changed it. Hopefully it goes through this time.

sorry i meant its a one week sale from Sep 5th - 11thStage On said:
thats cash advance. theres no limit for how many prepaid cards you wanna buy
Weird...
Amazon.ca shipped Danganronpa 2. That releases on Tuesday.
I've complained a lot about Amazon.ca shipping in this thread for being way late. Just 2 weeks ago they were way late with Xillia 2 and I had to complain. Now this is shipping before release. So strange.
Best Buy shipped my Layton too.
