Yeah, there's a lot of time left to see how this plays out before having the preorder becomes a possible penalty.

Yeah they extended deliveries to weekend for November + December to handle the extra load. I'm not sure when they started doing this, but I was very shocked to see a Canada Post truck outside my house on a Sunday last year, so they at least did this last year too.
yeah my 'Wii U X' future shop preorder showed up for me on Sunday afternoon. I'm still glad I didn't wait for it, I can bring back my $84 EB copy when I go for lunch anytime.

Agreed. Also, If you have access to an Xbox and halo 5 you may find yourself not playing Battlefront.

I'm so happy I bought a copy at Best Buy this Friday, I played it for a good 10 hours this weekend!
Why are you upset? It's traveling back in time so you should already have it.
Frowny face.
Only way to go.
I lucked out, I was only in the Service Centre for five minutes tops, then went to the mall and bought a Shulk a****o.
Now to go home and enjoy some XenoX.
Yeah, and that timeline's version of me is having a great time right now skipping work and playing the game.
The timeline I'm in right now, I'm stuck at work wondering where the hell my XCX collector's edition is.
The darkest timeline.

The 30% off made it a little more bearable, but I can't believe the XCX SE cost $55 MSRP more than the standard edition for an artbook, a print, and a USB drive.
yea I normally can't resist Nintendo CEs because the price tends to be pretty reasonable. Wasn't really the case this time... so I didn't get it.

Don't forget the alternate cover for the game in the SE!! That justifies at least 20$ extra right?
Amazon.ca has 7 elite controllers in stock, although for 179.99.
I had an order from the Microsoft Store, from the 18th, and it has said 'ship on November 30th' since, and their customer support is useless.
I got Amazon to adjust the price to match Microsoft's 169.99, I'm super pleased.
Edit: they're sold out already.

It's 1GB
Might be 500mb. This is Nintendo we are talking about.

What's that? My $164.99 TES+ pre-order actually retails for $299.99?
Why, that's not brutal at all! That's wonderful!
Give it to you? Why so greedy? Tsk tsk tsk...
sell it to me!!

Delicious 55% off.
Most wonderful indeed, for those of us who got our orders in on time
Pretty sure they are.
Yep.
TE2+ is easier to mod since it can just be opened and has a removable glass top to easily exchange art, but TES+' internals can easily be modded by just removing a screw at the bottom to open it. Dunno how the art can be changed, but if you're only getting one, that's a way to save $50.

Xbx se is waiting for me when I get home. Now I just hope the box is in perfect shape!
i really dislike the Canada Post driver in my area. I ordered something from my mom from Amazon, and it was supposed to arrive today. she was home all day, and didn't hear the doorbell ring or a knock or anything. I check the status on my order and says that no one was home so they left a notice
this driver does it every single time we order something and its really annoying

Have you reported them?

The difference is the TE2+ is more easily moddable than the TES+, and has a bit different casing (as you can tell from the pictures). For you, get the cheaper one. Even I, who play fighting games a lot, have never actually modded a stick myself and will be getting the TES+. The rest of the parts and functionality are exactly the same, and at the end of the day the TES+ is still moddable if you really want to go that route eventually.
The sticks will work on PC but you might have to use a program to map the buttons to keys for some games.

He just did here! It was a well written report too! (just kidding
)My post guy does that sometimes as well, my apartment complex has an intercom that calls my cellphone so I know every time a delivery is actually attempted. It is like a 1/5 ratio for "delivery attempted" versus actual attempt.
Yeah, just noticed that myself. Ive got both sticks ordered, and the total is just over the retail of the te2+. Its amazing. Im happy I so stubbornly waited, even if it is just blind luck.
aww yiss I now have two copies of Xenoblade X. feels good not playing it
fuck man I watched the space battle opening, made my character, met Elma, and then when I thought I was this close to playing it prompted me to name my player using the GamePad
yo Z, thanks for the link but lol it doesn't work. what's the name of the item? I already ordered a charger from Nintendo (35 dollars, suckah), but I figure I could use that on my charge stand thing instead. prevent it from getting worn out

More garbage with Best Buy shipping for me. I'm not sure why I still buy from them, as this isn't the first time
I've had problems.
This time, my Xenoblade Chronicles X SE is not scheduled to arrive until Thursday. Brutal.

Can't believe my Xenoblade Chronicles X preorder from Best Buy is arriving this Friday. Literally Amazon levels of shipping shenanigans. Was planning to have my few days off to play the game.
Buy a copy locally from BB and return the one being mailed to you. It's the only way to fly when dealing with slow-to-ship game orders.

Pleasantly surprised the Xenoblade SE was shipped in a box rather than one of those large bubble mailer bags. Made it through the mail process unscathed.
