Sadly for me My sister took one of the family cars with her to university up in north bay and the other is out of commission at the shop. So actually getting to the store poses a rather large problem since I'm not about to lug around a several hundred dollar piece of equipment on the bus.

Already sold out online but it's still available in stores.
I was about to ask what retailer and then I saw where the image was hosted, EB games.
I'm sure you typed that with a heavy heart... I probably won't bite but we'll see. It'd mean cutting out some other game.

Probably will cancel dancing all night LE and use that money for Xeno LE instead, sorry Persona!
I realize there is the chance of a Persona 5 special edition.... I've planned poorly. Time to re-evaluate.
I don't know why I didn't add Black Ops 3 to my E3 pre-orders. I figured with Destiny TTK, Halo 5 and Battlefront I'd be good, but I've been playing the beta and it's the first CoD I've really touched since MW3, I'm enjoying it, even if there is a lot of stuff to do.
I don't think Destiny is gonna be much fun PvP and the more I hear about Battlefront, the more I want to cancel it. Anyone have any luck switching out games by contacting an amazon rep who may take pity?

It's worth a try, they probably won't, but you may stumble upon a nice guy. And if they say "we can't add anything to this order since the promotion has expired, and it may screw up the order" ask them, what if I make a new order, and you apply the discount to that.
They let me switch MGSV Xb1 to MGSV ps4 that way.

I wonder if there is any chance we will see it up tonight.

What are the chances that Walmart will have MGSV Collectors Edition in store on Sep 1st?

Me too... Except mine is from FS and its still listed as Wii U X.

Haha yeah

I'm in NYC for a week and I walked into a tiny game store in Brooklyn; maybe the shop dude spotted my Fox Hound tattoo (or not) because he quickly offered me a copy of Phantom Pain, any console. It was hard to resist, considering my Amazon order is estimated for Sept 10th >_<

Yeah, NYC is easy for early game pickup.
I'm in Edmonton, and Bestbuy has always shipped on Sundays for me, for Tuesday releases. If it hasn't shipped by the end of the day tomorrow i'd be worried.
im close to Edmonton myself. I usually get stuff a day or two early. they tried to ship my xbox version on Thursday but it failed because the credit card info is outdated and for some reason cant be changed. No progress at all on the ps4 version which I find odd. I guess ill see if the shipping notice comes today or not.
I believe on RFD lot of people saying they got them for $29.97, so it's YMMV I guess. I saw Arkham Knight myself for $49.97, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were doing final clearance and decided to drop price even further.
Not my images. If my Costco memory serves correctly, when something ends in 97 it means final clearance and that they won't have more, so maybe they are clearing out for the next big name game? MGS V, Destiny TTK, Halo, CoD or Battlefront?
In-store and online prices don't always match with Costco.
So it's been a while since I bought a new console (back when the Xbox 360 S came out).
Pretty much all physical retailers (not interested in buying online and having to wait for it to arrive in the mail) are going to be the same price, right?
I want to get a Wii U and Mario Maker the day it comes out. Leaning towards the 3D World bundle.
That'll be the same price ($300 for the console, $70 for the game) no matter where I go ( Walmart, Best Buy, etc.), right?

For in store new releases, they are the best. Always $5 if not $10 cheaper than the next closest retailer.
Mine hasn't. My futureshop stuff traditionally shipped on Monday and arrived on Tuesday though.
Since they "changed" for Best Buy, the email they normally send to confirm the shipping is always late and so is the update on their website. If you've been charged for it, there's nothing to worry about... Yet!

No sign of the Xenoblade Chronicles X SE on any Canadian retailers?
I wonder if it will be EB exclusive here...

My copy of Mad Max hasn't left their warehouse yet.
Same, not even charged yet but ordered with Prime and release day shipping and it shows Sept 1 by 8PM delivery.
I am in Toronto so I think my copy of Mad Max, Danganronpa and MGS are in the Ontario warehouse.

Same here in Montreal, I guess. Stilll predicts that it will ship yesterday and arrive Tuesday with prime shipping.
I've got the BB pre-order from two years back too. Fortunately I'm not thrilled with the SE -- not even a DC soundtrack? -- so I'll live.
Definitely shop around day of because both the Wii U and SMB3DW aren't new and could see a discount. Worth noting that Walmart in the U.S. is getting a Wii U bundle with Super Mario Maker but they don't have it on the Canadian website. If you're not picky about the pack-in game you should give the refurbs a look.
I have never ordered from amazon for a videogame, but from what I've been reading on this thread, it is because you have another game preordered (nhl) and its released date is on september 15th. They might wait 2 weeks and ship you both games bundled together?
On the bright side, you're getting Battlefront two months early! That's likely a bug, your shipping preference says to ship them separately, and since you have one-day shipping, it'll be sometime today or early tomorrow when Metal Gear will ship. Your best bet is to chat with them online, though, just in case.

I hope what happened to me doesn't happen to you.
I had SEVEN CSRs (yes, 7) tell me that Until Dawn would arrive on release day (was Prime at the time) and it never came.
It ended up coming Wednesday which is only one day after release but still bugged me.
They said it was a glitch. That's why I am still worried about the Sept 1 games. I've never seen Amazon orders this glitched for this many people.
E3 promos again.
It should be ok. That's the kind of game they'll probably have plenty of copies of. It's the niche stuff you have to pre-order if you want it at EB Games.

Does anyone know what stores will sell the Forza 6 Xbox One controller separately from the bundle? I can't seem to find it on EBGames' site, or on Amazon.
Can the bundle be reserved in stores?PS4 MGSV Bundle w/ TLOU - $450
bottom of flyer says it starts Aug 28. However, I'm not sure how they could sell it before the game is even out?

I think the Forza controller is MS Store exclusive.
