Mine was from 2016 not 15 but I did get the 20+20 after a $10 refund.
By some miracle RE7 is actually in town, so I didn't get stuck in the 3 day limbo that Richmonds ridiculous sorting center normally is.
KH2.8 is "preparing to ship"... on Jan 27th.
Only missing the PS2/PSP games
And well Kiwami/6.
Have yet to open the box. But would assume so.

Where's the rarest of all, the WiiU game?!
Any idea why? I got it for 49.96 but it didn't apply any additional 20% on my end...

Out of curiosity, when is the last time anyone here has straight up paid full ptrice $79.99 for a game? I feel like were all always talking about deals and Prime and E3 discounts and everything, Im curious if anyone here will just go out on release day and buy a game from Best Buy.
85$ shipped (CND) not that bad
Considering it won't play on my Wii U.. I dunno. Also I'm limiting my game expenses as much as possible right now. 5K in medical fees to pay this year. After last year's 2k.
May try to pick it up in Tokyo when I go back next year though.
Mario Kart 8 from EB Games, but then I used the 7 day guarantee to get full credit back for it. Does that count?

Hahahaaha no. Fuck I only ever paid 69.99 (full retail at the time) for one game and that dark souls 2 scholar of the first sin.
FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU so Amazon got hosed on KH2.8 LE so if yours has gone out count yourself lucky.

If I didn't get Prime, Yakuza 0 would have been my first 80 dollar game. There are still some games that don't get announced during the deals, which kind of screws you over. Particularly, it's the niche Japanese games that are extremely rare and difficult to find.
Root Zero is my first actual full priced game (although it's 70), and that's because it's VGP exclusive.
39.99 LE FE:A on EB. That was 2013 I think.

Mario Kart 8 but it was $69.99 or maybe even. less.
Ouch.
That's a great question...
Last April, I bought Uncharted 4 with credit from a "Game Guarantee" at EB Games (the "guarantee" money was from Thief, ordered with credit when I was feeling hard-up for new PS4 content).
I also bought Overwatch at EB for full price, though I paid with credit again. I never preordered through Amazon because I wasn't that interested. Didn't love the beta, either, but figured I would have the opportunity to take advantage of EB's guarantee if I didn't like it. Turns out I liked it.
I did the same with No Man's Sky, but I actually did utilize the EB guarantee for that, figuring I'd get it again after it tanked in price (still waiting).
Buying stuff at full price doesn't seem like something that's going to be happening much for me in the future... I guess I'm paying "full price" for Zelda, but I actually traded in three games for it... but generally speaking, with Amazon's 20% off applying to everything, I won't be buying full-price games anywhere else.
Looking back at my records, I'm not sure what the last game is that I paid full price for with actual money. Since E3 deals started, that's how I get almost everything I buy on Day 1. Otherwise, I trade in a bunch of stuff, so in the rare case I haven't preordered something, that's probably how I'll get it (however, the well is dry after ordering Switch stuff and its related gear... though I do have $170 worth of Optimum points hoping they stock some Switch stuff there

I paid full price for last guardian. I've switched to digital only so if it's a game I want on day 1 and it's 79.99, I'll pay it.
I don't want a ton of games though.
I don't want a ton of games though.
Only one game in like the past 4 years and it was Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator. I cancelled my E3 discounted order to get it digital since I was way too hype for the game and had to play it right away with my buddies.
I have not paid $79.99+ for a new game since the 90s.
Every new game I've bought for the last 3 years has been via the E3 deal. Otherwise, I just wait a few weeks for the price to drop to $50 or less.
I think the last time I paid full price for a game on the day it came out was New Super Mario Bros U on Wii U launch day (and our dollar was good then, so it was $59).
I think the last game I bought for more than $63.99 was Xenoblade Chronicles when VGP had new copies - I paid $69.99.
My condolences.

If we're not counting CEs and the like: apparently, never. I can't find any records of me paying full price for a normal $79.99 game in the past two or three years. I've actually been trying to stick to a "no more than $59.99" rule ever since prices started going up; I've maybe violated that rule two or three times at most, but I'd have to double check.

Crap. I forgot to cancel Gravity Rush 2 and Resident Evil 7. $123 in total, so hopefully I can sell them on Kijiji easily.
Lol return them?

I could. How easy is it to return stuff for free?
Bestbuy? It's pretty easy.

Seriously? Two delays now on a single order.
I'm definitely going to make backup preorders at EB now...
Yeah, pre-orders of when there was only one version were automatically upgraded.
The LE itself is the same price as the standard, but just more limited. Amazon already seems to be out atm, so the $99 is from a third party reseller.

Ah that makes sense, sweet! thanks!
Never. CDKeys and GMG on PC is a lifesaver. For console games, I use Prime, but I don't care about release dates or late shipping.
For Yakuza 0 I am hoping it comes to Steam within a year.
Not since before the first E3 deals. That's of course ignore the Zelda Master Edition I ordered from GameStop US.
Not E3 but 20% prime rebate, happy about RE7 for 47$ taxes included. My psvr is ready for this one 😀
