Got my P4DAN edition today. Looks like they sent me the grunge edition, instead. Keychain came what looks like almost burnt. I swear, I always end up with damaged CE's because the universe knows this stuff bothers me.

Try to contact Amazon support with this information, nothing to lose!
 
Figured I should mention this here: When I checked the Wii U eShop earlier today, Minecraft was priced at $30 CAD, same as the US price. Considering $30 USD is more than $40 CAD right now (and the loonie's still falling!) this isn't a terrible deal.
 
As long as I'm not the only one :)
Hope it gets here before the winter sale hits.

I hope so too. To be fair, they did say 10 business days.

The deal was on the 11th, so hopefully "business days" are more like "normal days," since the winter sale begins on the 22nd... 10 biz days could mean as late as Dec. 28.

Mine looks like it went through the same treatment. On mine, Teddie's teeth and face look like they were burnt or scraped. It's even sealed in plastic so it must have happened during manufacturing. It looked a little better after rubbing it off with my thumb but it still looks like shit.

Was a bit confused but I guess maybe it just looks that shitty?

Oh, interesting. I googled around to see if they were all like this, couldn't find any mention of it or pics. Guess we're the unlucky ones. No luck washing it off or trying to scrape whatever it is off with my fingernail.

Contacted Amazon and was offered an option of either a full refund, 20% off the item, or a complete exchange. I was definitely leaning towards an exchange, although if the batch of copies Amazon has are all like this, not sure what the next one will look like.

Did anyone here that ordered from Amazon get a non-damaged Teddie keychainr?
 
I dunno if anyone here ever grabbed The Swapper on another platform, but until the end of the year it's $2.99 from $21.99. They're DEFINITELY losing money on this.
 
So I cobbled together the Boxing Day comparison. I suspect we'll see similar trends this year despite the poopy dollar.

Here's an early head's up: I'm also running another $50 Amazon.ca Gift Card Giveaway for GameDealsCanada.com's anniversary. (It's already been a year?!) - Details here.

Thanks everyone!

Also, please note the Deals section for the week is incomplete at the moment.

Wait, what the fuck, I didn't even get this keychain in my copy.
 
Gotta' send my Elite Controller in for replacement early next week. Hopefully it won't take too long.

Tempted to buy one, but I should wait. Hopefully they'll release a white one.
 
How big are the boxes for pq and p4dan? It's cold so I'm not sure if I wanna pick them up tmw or on the weekend.

Persona Q's box is pretty big. A little taller than a PSP case, as wide as a 3DS case and about 4 3DS cases stacked for thickness. It comes with an XL transport case (which happens to be bigger than the system at that).
 
So I bought a watch on Amazon but they sent me the wrong one.. In reality, they sent the RIGHT box but it had the WRONGwatch in it. My guess is someone bought two watches and returned the cheaper one as if it was the most expensive.

So they fix it (the new watch should arrive tomorow morning) and ask me if there's something else they could do for me. I said "Yes, can you check the status on WoW LEgion CE for PC please, it says "out of stock" and I have no idea what's going on, also, it looks like the 30% preorder bonus wasn't applied.

He checks, upgrades everything to priority shipping and changes the price to 74,89$

I love Amazon CSR.

Amazon is worth the wait for shipping. I've done ALL my holiday shopping on Amazon the past few years. Makes it so easy and stress free. Plus whenever I've had an issue they've fixed it fast or come close to making me satisfied.
 
Thank you so much man, today was the 14th day.

I placed an order for just the Elite Controller and returned my XboxOne Elite Console :) 14th Day refers to having only 14 days to return Video Game related electronics are retails

I have a COD AW Edition.

:)

Ya Man! I'm happy you were able to snag one.
I got two, hopefully they both ship on time. It says they should be here by 23rd or 24th... here's hoping!

I love Amazon. Once they accept Paypal they'll be perfect.
 
jfc the loonie
The loonie's new theme song is Free Fallin'.
We're closing in on the sub-70 cent US plateau and our new $89.99 US retail price for new games reality... where prices shall forever remain until we get back to par or better.
Or the dollar tumbles even lower.

I think we can hit the 65-cent range we were at back in the early 2000s.
 
Oh, thanks. I got it.

Yours looks pretty good.

They did hide it well, I poked through the contents when I first got it and then put everything but the game back in the box, and completely forgot about the keychain tucked away in there.
