Easy. I never had any problem switching to another game.

Inventory snagu or it was available to preorder by mistakeWe honestly have no better answer to that question than you do
Why would they cancel an order you made?
Glad others can still get an order in. Makes these completed listings all the more amusing:

The Charging Grip and Carrying Case were up briefly as well before they were sold out again.
Nope, still available. I bought one by accident lol. Probably will cancel it.

They're back... thanks
Just wanted to say thanks to the folks who mentioned EB's 2x trade in program on Switch. I was not interested in getting one (mostly due to price) but with some trades of PS4 games I wasn't going to play, I managed to get it under $200.
World of Final Fantasy - $52 (I paid $40 thanks to some shrewd Amazon wheeling and dealing)
Skyrim - $50 (I paid $35 on an Amazon holiday sale)
Plus got rid of some oldies like DA:I, COD Ghosts, Fallout 4, etc.
7 games traded, $212 worth of value... not shabby at all. Games market in Canada isn't total ass if you pick your battles.
Looking forward to March 3 now!

How much accessories am I going to have to get for this thing... LOL!!! so HYPED for the Switch.
Annnnnnnnd gone.
I took my 3D Land in sealed and they didn't do anything different. After the trade he opened it up.
Sometimes they open it before the trade starts. No big deal for either though lol.
Interesting, employee wasn't following proper guidelines. Its against company policy to accept unopened items.
It's not yet available.
Saw some mentions in another thread about people getting one in at Amazon.de but nothing other than that

Someone mentioned the Wii U servers shutting down, so I did some quick Googling.
The Wii came out in 2006.
Mario Kart Wii and Brawl came out in 2008.
The Wii U came out in 2012.
The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection was discontinued in May 2014, so you couldn't play online on the DS/Wii anymore. That's about 1.5 years after the Wii U came out. If you played MKWii/Brawl at release, you had 6 years with it.
SSB Wii U came out in 2014, Splatoon in 2015. Could Nintendo keep the Wii U servers online until say 2020, or shut them down 1.5 years after the Switch is out, at the end of 2018?

Anyone ordered from game.co.uk shipped to canada before? Interested in your experience.
I can't speak for WiiU or even 3DS, but Wii/DS online was discontinued because Nintendo Wifi was tied to Gamespy. So when Gamespy went under, so did Nintendo Wifi.
Maybe they'll shut them down sooner so we're all forced to upgrade to Switch and pay for online! Muahahaha!

Soundtrack is listed the same in the North American info; I imagine they will be the same (aside from the UK one coming with a jewel case instead of a sleeve) like the Twilight Princess HD CD.

It's useless to ask them about the zelda special edition, they don't know much more than us.
Hey all, I'm curious how you all keep track of your orders and deals. Trying to see if there is a better way to optimize. Here is what mine looks like (feel free to share yours!):
I would just add in a column for the store and maybe the order #

Very similar to me. I don't keep track of price though, but if an item is pre-ordered, I do list the store I have it pre-ordered at.
Why don't you keep track of price if you don't mind me asking? That one seems the most important to me lol.

Neon Switch has been completely removed from the EB website. Not sure what's going on.
There's a very low % chance that something I have pre-ordered, I'll find cheaper later, but before launch. Most pre-orders are from E3 deals, or Amazon Prime 20% off, so information is almost redundant for me. We are thankful to not have a very tight budget, so for budgeting purposes, we don't have to make sure we have funds if there are 5 games in a month we suddenly want.

They want to make sure that people buy the right model.

Hopefully it means they're messing with things on the backend and will add the rest of the damn Switch games soon.

Hahaha I can agree with that! I have my grey one preordered but my girlfriend is dead set on Neon for whatever reason.
I got the same response. It could go either way with Amazon, they do this a lot. I'd say 80% of the time the stuff ends up coming on release day, but occasionally stuff will actually come at the later estimated date. I guess we'll see.
lmao
Oh, so there have been times where it estimated a later date but it arrived on release anyway? That's a bit relieving.
Seriously. Waiting to trade my stuff in for this

Personally for me I've had times where it didn't change the estimated date on a game until the day it shipped. I don't have much faith in Amazon but it's definitely possible!
This is why I went to EBGames this weekend and did an in-store pre-order. I'm not confident that they'll be able to ship everything for release day shipping.
Yeah, I ended up doing this as well. The game will be cheaper once I'm ready for it, so might as well wait on it. Zelda has pretty much cleared the table of contenders at the moment.

Unable to preorder a switch at EB, but preordered Zelda by trading in 3 games I'll never play again. They let me trade in 2 games for random switch accessories to get the double credit. The manager claimed it'll be easy to move it around to other things when more preorders open up. Couldn't preorder Mario kart or a pro controller.

I used to do an excel sheet with game, price paid, release date.
then total cost at the bottom.
but these days I just buy way less games because of how expensive shit is so I don't even have to manage a spreadsheet anymore.

Out of curosity, what games did you trade in? I'm trying to figure out whether I should drag myself to EB or not.
I wouldn't wait as the trade in values may drop over the coming days if they find they are getting lots of certain titles.
In the meantime just do the trade and put it on other items like Joy Cons or other games and then move it to what you want as they become available in the system.
I traded in my WiiU and a bunch of games and got $610 in credit. Paid off:
-Switch console
-Red/Blue joycon set
-Zelda (Trade 3)
-Joycon charge grip
-Had $43 leftover that I put on 1,2 Switch but will move to a Pro controller once they are available
I agree with this. Support told me they would look into ensuring my orders be sent earlier than the estimates given. Honestly I think they're still just sorting out things behind the scenes. I have games for release day delivery in February and March yet Switch, its accessories, and games are all estimated for March 7th-8th (or later)? I'd take it with a grain of salt at the moment.
