Awesome! Thanks so much for the heads up. I was wondering if I was beginning to lose my mind or not. Any word as to why it was delisted?
Word is that it was delisted in order to re-stock it. They are probably using the break to both bring in new stock and adjust the price. I would be shocked if it didn't show up again tomorrow sometime
That is odd, I'm not sure it was ever there at all?
My buddy told me it was. I personally haven't seen it, but the release is in 8 days. What gives?

Two offers:
Buy 1 used game less than $9.99, get two games of the same price or less for free;
Buy 1 used game more than $9.99, get another game of same price or less for 50% off.
That's in addition to the amiibo/hardware sales. Stopped in a few weeks back when I noticed the store closing sign. Kind of sad to see them go, I don't really buy a lot of used games but they were pretty cool. Ended up buying one of the DS Layton games and Flower, Sun and Moon in the sale, wish I could've given them more business when it might have counted. Though on the other hand, Queen Street rent is no joke, I'm not surprised they decided to abandon Toronto.

I actually did research on this a little while ago when needing a HDMI switch in November.
I would highly recommend this one: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00UM3AA6O/
I have all of my gaming consoles (ps4, wii u, ps tv & ps3) and computer hooked up to it and the auto-switch works flawlessly (never needed to use the included remote once).
If you buy a cheapy hdmi switch that DOESN'T require power there's a good chance you'll run into issues with auto switching (apparently the ps4 has problems with this), so I'd stay away from those and just invest in a $20 that you'll never have to worry about.
If 5 ports is too many for you they also have a 3 port version: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00V7DUIA6/
So I believe the ps3 has the same issues as the ps4 where the HDMI requires power going through the switch in order for it to turn on; as the switch doesn't have power from the wall it doesn't detect it and thus won't work. Apparently (from reading user reviews) if you have something plugged into the switch that sends power (like the PI in this case) then it will work.
I have this one: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0090QJ9V6/
I use it to switch between my PS3 and my Raspberry Pi. It works, although it seems a bit finicky. Initially I was trying to use it with my PS3 and Steam Link, and it wouldn't switch over to the PS3 when I turned it on. Couldn't even switch over manually. I then swapped the Link for my Pi, and it's worked fine since. I'm sure there's a reason for it, but I never really did much research into it. Just know that if you go for this particular product, you may not be able to plug exactly what you want it into it. It also has a really obnoxious blue led, but you can cover that up with tape.

I have a Kinivo 5 port switch.
Works fine with auto-switching however some devices still handshake when "turned off" like the Xb1, Steam Link, Roku. That usually messes up the auto-switching.

Hmmm thanks dudes. I was looking at that $6 one and wasn't sure about it. Same brand as the more expensive powered one though. I guess if I'm going to get one I'll go for the powered model. I might be able to manage without a switch by changing my PS3 config so the video goes direct to TV and I use optical audio instead. But that's kind of a pain.
edit: apparently there's a 3 port version of that 5 port one which seems exactly the same otherwise, and it's $15. might go for that.

Anyone know what the trade-in value of an original PS4 is at EB? Just curious, trying to plan a move to a Pro.
It was $175 in November during the EB Games PRO deals. And that was before the slim comes out. I would expect it might go down a bit to $150 I guess?
I've been using the 5x1 version of this hdmi switch that I bought for 20$ back in 2013 and it works very well. Nice build quality. Looks like the price has been up since then.

Better off selling it on Kijiji. Can easily get $250 for it.

Still trying to figure out how I'm gonna make time for Horizon, BotW and Nier...

Was thinking about buying Horizon but the reviews saved me 80 bucks and able to spend more time with BotW in march.
Cool. 3 days difference between the three. Or at least a week for me since I have horizon and nier on my order.

How bad is amazon at shipping games at launch?

Darkseid will be included with all pre-orders, physical or digital, from any retailer. It will most likely be a slip of paper included in all first prints.Sounds like the ultimate version does indeed come with the steelbook and it doesn't appear to be retailer exclusive.
The Darkseid DLC does sound like it is retailer exclusive, sounds like Gamestop / EB only.

No info on Injustice 2 for Switch, but who knows in time
This article has some decent info on all this:
http://www.gottabemobile.com/injustice-2-release-date-editions-pre-orders/
However, there are some pretty random retailer exclusives attached pre-ordering IJ2. Best Buy has a Flash hat, and EB Games has a Batman "pro gamer jersey".
Not entirely sure where the steelbook falls in here, but I can't see NRS releasing without any sort of collectible packaging. The first game had a steelbook (outside CE) that was exclusive to EB Games, so it's possible that it could be Amazon this year. Kinda doubt Amazon would list it so casually if that were the case, though. We'll find out closer to the release date.
Are everybody's Amazon Switch preorders still showing "Delivery estimate: Wednesday, March 8, 2017 - Friday, March 10, 2017 by 8:00pm"? It's still not been updated to Day-One for me, and support says it's because the console isn't elligible for release day delivery and will never be. This is with express shipping (was never given the option to pick two-day with Prime)

The game has apparently been suffering from stock issues all over the world. Sony/KT apparently had no idea the WOM would be this strong. I'm not sure when the next shipment is coming though.
Feels like this has been a recurring theme with all the niche games the past couple months. Yakuza 0, Gravity Rush 2, and now this.
The good news is that both Yakuza 0 and Gravity Rush 2 were back in stock within a couple weeks, so if you order now you won't have to wait overly long.
YMMV. I never had any problem getting games at launch but I'm using flex delivery. But then again, I'm using a free express shipping.

I got my copy of the last guardian from them on launch day, using regular free shipping. But I'm worried I might get Horizon late. Amazon is getting really bad with shipping lately, I just ordered a circular saw and the expected delivery is a week later...
If you're in Prime, you can use the canada post flex delivery to get the stuff day one. That has been the case for me. I never had any problem. Now, if it's free shipping then there's a chance it might not come on launch.

88 average too low for you?
I'm the opposite, probably cancelling Switch order and going all in with Horizon and Mass Effect
Only just realized that my Zelda Arts & Artifacts shipped (from Amazon) via FedEx and not CP... bluh.
Edit: Also really glad Horizon is reviewing fantastically. I really, really want it. It was Game of Show for me for E3 2015, and second only to Zelda for 2016... But of course it just has to come out the same week as Zelda x_x

You play games with a metacritic below 90?
Do you have any respect for yourself?

Wasn't the score actually. It was some of the stuff that I read on the review and the fact that the replayability wasn't high is what turned me off to buying it day 1.
Don't get me wrong, I'll pick it up in the future, but I rather explore and play Zelda at this time than Horizon.
