I wonder what the Boxing Day sales will be like for controllers. Whether they'll beat Black Friday.

I may have a copy from EB if they didn't take too many preorders like they did with Amiibos.
If he doesn't take it, I'd be interested.
If it's available on the eShop the just do it via eShop website. Have your method of payment ready and they send the code to your registered email.
Dude, that would be awesome! Even if EB screwed up, thanks for looking out, yo.
Is the EB one in store or online?

I can 100% Guarantee a Persona 5 SE PS4 will never happen for NA. Just buy it now.

One of you guys will have to remind me, because I'm sure I'll forget by the time it comes out. lolDude, that would be awesome! Even if EB screwed up, thanks for looking out, yo.

And it was an in store preorder, which is why it might be a crapshoot. I remember how I was 4th in line to preoroder an Amiibo and they still sold out.

not possible to buy on the website
All I want for the day after Christmas is a sale on a Wii U Pro controller.
I was waiting for this for years and it just never happened.
Eventually I caved and picked one up from Loblaws during one of their no tax days, and they also had some other promo where I got a few thousand PC points for spending $40 or something.
Shoppers might still be your best bet for the closest thing to a "deal".
Hopefully, by that time, both Sora and I will be able to secure our own. Otherwise, yeah, I'll be harassing you about it. lol
Yeah you can't do this with Virtual Console games unfortunately. I think that the new web store for the Nintendo Account in Japan is more robust, but I'm not really sure

How can you make such a guarantee?
Also, are you saying the PS4 will go up in CDN in the new year because of the Canadian Peso? (That's my main worry)

It's a pretty safe bet considering the stark absence of Persona 5 thus far from any of SCEA's major gaming conferences thus far.
it's Persona 5, man
no one outside GAF cares. all the special PS4s we get like Destiny, Battlefront, Batman, Black Ops 3, they big like that giant ass lvl 50 dinosaur in Xenoblade X. P5 is like that lvl 6 turtle

Alright then, thank you for the input. I'll get a PS4 now, and the imminent Persona 5 Collector's Edition when it releases.
I really hope we can just get one as well.

We saw $370 On Black Friday. There's hope.

The dollar's dropped like two cents since Black Friday.

So we're suddenly not expecting $369.99 deals like on Black Friday because of that?

I guess if it depends how their inventory is allocated. They probably already bought their Christmas stock though, but I imagine anything next year will be jacked up.
They typically send a replacement after a few days past the expected delivery date, but I only had that happen once and that was a while ago.

Out of curiosity, have there ever been live pre-orders for the PlayStation VR in Canada? Does EB do it?
I know there are a lot of unknown details regarding price and release date, but it is supposed to release in the first half of 2016, so I figured I'd ask.

They will refund you if the item is no longer in stock. Takes at least a week and a half to do an investigation. If the item is in stock, they will resend.
Thank you. They just told me to wait a week before they start an investigation. I was trying to decide if I should just go buy a copy locally or wait. If they'll resend I'll just wait so I keep my discounted price.
No. I wouldn't expect preorders to go up until a price and date has been announced. It may happen during CES 2016 (Jan 6th-9th).

I know that the retail version is exclusive to Amazon - but whether it comes to Amazon.ca.. I don't know.
It should, by proxy.
Steins;Gate is precedent, it came to Amazon.com but not Amazon.ca, it did however come the VGP

Well that sucks then... Ah well.
Either way, I'm just sitting here with my fingers crossed that we see more $369.99 PS4 bundles/deals this Boxing Day. (Still need the system if I'm going to play Gravity Rush Remastered at all.)
I believe it was VGP exclusive in Canada.
Does Walmart or bestbuy price match without calling the store to check for stock?. Neither of the shoppers where I live have copies of star wars battlefront and never had them before hand. Wondering where I could PM the flyer price.
My bestbuy used to be a futureshop and I remember it was a 90% chance they would call the store to check stock first.

Tell them about all the Shoppers in your area and see if they have the patience to call every single one of them.
"It's got to be in stock somewhere."
We only have two. Lol
I'd say it's likely they don't call. Even more likely if you can get a copy to the non electronics section cashiers.

I didn't realize the dollar was so bad until I tried to buy Lightning Returns. It's cheaper on Steam than it is on GMG with a 20% off coupon because Square set the Canadian price wrong. Like holy crap. lol
Mhm, Amazon.com exclusives don't always come to Amazon.ca. It's really unfortunate actually.

I want to improve my Internet from 6mb/s, because it takes forever to download games, but the options are pretty limited out in the country. Even though I'm not far from town, we're quite SOL.
Rogers' lines only go half-way up the road, and have for decades, and they won't bring them the rest of the way up unless 3+ people want it.

Should I be expecting any $369.99 PS4 bundles or deals on Boxing Day this year? Or was that one short/concise poster right with "$429.99"?
I'm planning my budget so it would really suck if they jack up the Canadian price just before the holidays...

You could plan to pick up a PS4 on a superstore no tax weekend. Maybe $399 all in?
(I haven't checked the prices lately though...)

I assume so. Oil tanking + surprise surprise Canadian budget was fucked up and we're actually in a deficit = fun times ahead.
I forgot what city it was, but police somewhere in California basically set up a video monitored Craigslist trading point. Sad that it's come to that, but there you go. lol
That makes me even more nervous. Thanks.
