After the awesomeness that was the force awakens, I'm up for some KOTOR action
Seriously $3 is a darn good deal. Runs on older specs too.
RE: Boxing Day.
Funny that I'm holding out hope for EB. They always have one or two deals that are a little different from the rest... so hopefully something in their offering will be worth getting.... that said, it's always a zoo on Boxing Day.
There might be a Steam thread where you could put the call out, too. Really, you should just by a four pack for yourself and make it rain Rocket League codes, the game is that much fun

Sometimes, yeah, although it usually takes so long that it's still more of a pain than it's worth.

That actually wasn't new for me, in fact I thought about it for a while and realized that out of the 5 most recent preorders (including Cold Steel), only 2 actually went through smoothly according to the release date which are Devil Survivor 2 3DS and persona Q
The other three are
1) Arena ultimax, arrived half of a day late, I reserved a Best Buy copy on the release day and got that one instead.
2) Toukiden, arrived 3 days early(!) and I picked it up on the Sunday, the release day should be the proceeding Tuesday. Had to go back though to get my pre-order dlc code.
3) Cold steel. I made another call today and they told me they only got two copies out of the 10 pre-orders and told me I'll get it "hopefully" by tomorrow or Thursday
It's really only my option since BB doesn't actually even stock some of the niche titles particularly vita games, and it fucking sucks that none of my options are viable. I actually have trouble with Amazon that it doesn't want to ship to my post office and my own mail box is too insecure to hold anything expensive.
I just hope I won't be an ass to whoever is ringing me up when I pick my copy of cold steel up, I'm feeling pretty jaded and I'm probably gonna be fuming if they tried to do their sales pitch on me if it arrives next week.
FML I'm probably gonna pick up a 64gb card in the summer and go full digital. Physical vita games for me just went from a rarity to a pain in the ass to deal with in general
Did they also match the 40% off on Xonic in addition to the new clearance price?
I got the game originally for about $36, so they took 40% off of that price.
I'm surprised Best Buy is allowing this. I could easily see them stating that since the item was bought online, tough luck. Will still try, but I expect them to hassle me over it. Won't be able to return/rebuy either as the item is already out of my hands (was a gift).
At first the csr was saying that he probably couldn't do it since I bought it online, but he double checked with someone else and they gave the go ahead without any hesitation.

Ah boxing day, my annual KIS renewal event.
yeah I'm on a Star Wars kick right now and I've always wanted to play the KOTOR games. Now is the time.
Is the PC version good? Or is the Xbox version the good version?

and install this mod

DEAL?
EBGames flyer is up.
Didn't see anything amazing. $220 Zelda 3DS XL? $170 Vita? Do you want a fuckin' Assassin's Creed sword, because that's in there too I guess?

I guess Walmart it is for Just Cause 3.
$99.99 for the Guitar Hero Live set? Bleh.

I may need to buy the Anniversary Edition DS4 for that price, but I don't need it given I have red, white and Black Ops III and only use red. The others haven't been used.
Though really I don't think there's anything I still want at the moment outside of a Digital Destiny the Taken King Legendary Edition for less than $40 CAD.Lone_Prodigy

KOTOR is awesome. It's also over 10 years old. Any new-ish computer can run it on max.
Yup, those are some medicore deals. I think Wasteland 2 and Battlefront might be it for me.
Everyone should get Rainbow Six though. That game is phenomenal.

Seconded on Rainbow Six.
buying for Severa

Anyone who pre ordered FE: Fates in store at EB should look at this.
https://www.reddit.com/r/fireemblem/comments/3xx5kp/gamestop_special_edition_preorders_cancelled/
I know this is "Gamestop", but I wouldn't be surprised if this happens here too. It has before many times at EBGames. EB has been doing this shady business practice since 2003 with Wind Waker. I would reserve a SE online at another store, and call EB week, or two before launch to check if they actually have it, and if not get your money, or else it won't be returned even if it's credit/debit.

A bit of that sounds like bullshit. EB will give you your money back on a preorder at any point in time. I have never had an issue with that.

lol ok? Why would I lie? That's really good for you buddy hahahahahaha just giving people a heads up. I personally know of 2 EB past employees who can attest that this is a business shady practice of theirs.

Both versions hold up really well. The xbox one was a beast of a game at the time so there was some feezing but it still holds up to be a great game and it plays on the 360.
However I would just get the pc ones, they are really cheap right now at steam and really easy to acquire. Plus if your computern is decent enough you should have no problem playing and running both. I never played Kotor 2 so I am excited to go through that one, namely it is the preferred way to play I hear because the restoration mod puts back in the original ending.
TLDR: DO IT!

Subete no aware
Apparently it's on sale on XBL.
man and I imported it too because I didn't expect Nintendo to actually let anyone license it, looks like I'll be double dipping
Anyone who's been buying from eb knows this isn't the case. The stores in my city have always been good about this even though eb is a shit company.

Just going on personal experience. I have had no problem getting cash returned on preorders. Ever. I am sure people have had problems with EB, absolutely. Do I believe that some stores will over sell on preorders, yeah, of course but I don't quite understand the arbitrary two weeks before release for not getting your money back. Never heard anything like that.
It's always good to be cautious though.

Why are F, B, and W red? Story significance? Haven't played beyond the demo even though I own the game. XD
My local EB has oversold preorders before. I have been a "victim" of such a thing before. They just offered to put the money I put down towards something else. They gave it back when I asked rather than putting it towards something else.
If your EB is pocketing your money after overselling a pre-order and you didn't get the game, you were robbed. That is illegal.

Two good games that are definitely worth those prices. More in my opinion.
