Didn't that website get caught selling stolen/generated CD Keys, or am I mistaken? I recall hearing that people had access to games, and accounts shut down after buying from them.

pretty sure that was g2a or kinguin. I've never had any issues with cdkeys nor have I heard of anyone having issues with it.
I thought that was G2A?

What was the real price of the SFV TE+ on Amazon? Looks like Madcatz website no longer has Canadian prices. Thanks!

So that's what they did. I was checking Mad Catz site today as I was checking on the current price of the TE2. I checked it just last week and it was listed at $265 but today it was at $200.
The proper price for the TE2+ was $350 Canadian.

349.99$ before taxes? What about the TES+?
$299.99 iirc
Yeah - I think people confuse the two sites a lot. I bought a Last Of Us Remastered code from CDkeys and it was super smooth.
Well, I mean the site name is sketchy as hell. I don't have an issue with CDKeys personally, but it sounds like a keygen one could get with a torrent.
Be careful though. I had similar situation with Grim Fandango and partial refund (which ended as full price refund) for not getting preorder theme. The game was working great, but once deleted there was no way to download it again other than buying.

Interesting. Well I don't plan to delete the game. But I did just take a look to see if I could re-buy the game and that option isn't available. All that's available is to download it to my console.
The E3 preorder requiered 3 games to qualify. By canceling a game, you canceled the promotion. You may not have recieved an email but when you're in the action of canceling an item, it warns you that it will remove promotions if by canceling the game you get below the requiered treshold.
If you get a kind CSR, they can probably fix it for you, otherwise you're out of luck.

Almost every version of 7 and 8 upgrades to 10. I believe some limited OEM versions aren't eligible, but that shouldn't apply to most people.YO SERIOUSLY?!?!?
Ok I need to try this as soon as I get home from work. I was about to spend $120+ on a copy of windows 10. If I could actually get it for free that would be sweet

Interesting.
That said, I renewed my licenses and the game didn't gain a lock, nor did a price appear. But I'm willing to roll the dice. Let's see what happens.

I had an OEM version of Windows 8 on my laptop and it upgraded to 10 without issues.
I had to manually install 10 though.
As well, if you have an ASUS Video card 970 or 390 and above you will probably be able to get Primal for free http://www.asus.com/event/VGA/far-cry-primal/
Probably not much to worry about re: port port though. Far Cry 3 and 4 were good ports weren't they?

R9 Nano too. Hmmm
Said the same thing for Rise of the Tomb Raider and Arkham Knight. I was still able to redeem them even though I bought my 970 over a year ago.
HALP!
Sooooo slight problem.
I forget to cancel Megaman Legacy Collection. It's shipping out With Street Fighter V and should be at my door tomorrow. They've the same tracking number and it's very possible they'll arrive together in one package.
Once they get here is it possible to open the box take the street fighter game but refuse Megaman Legacy Collection?

Amazon? Just fill in a return form on their site.
If Best Buy, bring back to store.
Anything else, no idea.

You wont be able to refuse delivery as you can't open it unless it's accepted. Just contact amazon via chat and let them know you found it locally already. They'll send you a return slip and it won't cost.
Don't fill out the return form on site. That'll cost. Do it through chat.
I wanna take this moment to thank ahdurian for hooking me up with this beauty.
Ahdurian you the real MVP man. Thanks so much again I still can't believe it!
no problem fam <3
like I said, i'd rather sell it to someone on GAF before even trying to sell it on eBay. at least on GAF I'm more hopefully that the people would actually play it, rather than trying to scalp it

yall getting much back on your taxes?
I am (most I ever have)...
Except I may or may not have a red light cam ticket heading my way >_< (really stupidly timed lights) so some of that may be going there...
Otherwise, I'm hoping to use the money to get a dent smoothed out on my car (unrelated... happened last May, long story), so not on video games, lol
my university just released our tax forms today...
Contact them
same as me. i just sent them an e-mail to say whats up with that

Amazon.ca support is fascinating.
I originally got a Street Fighter V M. Bison preorder costume code that was already used when I tried to redeem it. Sending an email to support, I got a response apologizing and providing me with a code that included details of the SF V beta after it. I responded saying that I was looking for the M. Bison preorder code and the email suggested it was for the beta. They responded saying the costume was for Amazon.com preorders only and to contact Capcom, then get back to them if they say otherwise.
Given that the first three screenshots of the product page show M. Bison in the preorder costume, the Customer Questions and Answers suggested Amazon.ca purchases are eligible for the code and the Capcom Unity blog explicitly said "North America" when outlining the bonuses, I decided to contact them via Chat as the phone line was closed. 10 transfers to the "Games/Software" and "Support" departments later, the agent posted the code the first CSR initially gave and asked if that worked. I said that code came with beta details, but decided to try it anyway. ...It turned out to be the costume code. During that time, a transfer occurred but I immediately told the last agent that all is well. I needn't be transferred anymore and ended the chat.
I wonder if they just transfer customers to other agents if it seems like it'll be too much effort.

Sounds painfull. They gave me my Bison code within minutes.
They couldn'T give my Project X Zone 2 or Resident evil Origins codes though, so for each of those, the agent gave me a 20% partial refund.
The 8$ saved on each game is better than some random costume for my pocket.

Anyone know if FE special edition and new 3ds FE edition are going to be restocked? So many rumours online...and back orders...and cancelled in store orders.
Very annoyed that it's so difficult to get a certain company to take my $340.

It became kind of amusing as it went on in terms of guessing whether I would get transferred. Agreed on getting cash back versus a bonus code. I just got an offer for 20% back on Project X Zone 2 as well!

Apparently I have a FE 3ds XL on its way, but I might just return it and keep my current Majora one. PM me if you want it.

Time for me to short shares of The Big Short!
(The movie was okay, but I don't know if it's something anyone needs to own)

Well damn! I liked the movie but wasn't willi g to spend more than $15.00 on it. Can't say no to that price. Thanks!

Thanks for the offer! I would rather buy new myself cuz of the double warranty CC.
Though, I'd almost rather not support the platform.
I'll spend on my iOS devices and Xbox instead. $340 buys ALOT of their content.
