We REALLY need a picture of your whole collection!

+1, I want to see it too!

Some of the ones I bought ended up being left unopened and returned. I get some sort of a high from buying controllers and it's like a vice to me. Perhaps it's because of my OCD, because new controllers come perfect and I know I have a perfect one there if my regular one gets dirty from use (not that that happens, really, given how clean I am, but dust and dry skin are an annoyance).

I have a Wii U Pro Controller I've yet to use, 3x DS4s (Magma Red, Glacier White and Black Ops III - and I only use the red one, while the others have been tested out), and 4x Xbox One pads (newer black, Lunar White, Forza 6, Elite).

SLIGHTLY disappointed here... :-(

I expected dozens upon dozens of controllers variants from every generations.

I have a bunch of older controllers, and my favourite is the Tomb Raider 360 one.

I bought the DS4 Anniversary controller twice, I think, as well as the Armed Forces and Covert Forces controllers for Xbox One. However, I returned them. I also once had a camo DS4, but it looked so cheap when I saw the DualShock 4 camo shapes in it that I returned it too.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Forget the controllers; post a picture of all the receipts from returns/exchanges.

I actually went through most of them today and crumpled them up/threw them in front of the wood stove so that they can be burned.

Just got my codes from that staples deal. Thanks so much for sharing it. We haven't had a sale on that in such a long time and it's nice to have another two years. Now I just need something for xbl gold.

 

[Ventara]

I'm actually planning to hang on to my $100 PSN wallet for now. I figure is Sony does raise the price of PS+, I'll have a little time to buy a 12-month subscription from retail/online before they raise theirs.

 

[Linearskillz]

Thanks for the heads up on that Staples deal. I just got the codes for $100 for $80.

 

[DeathByBacklog]

Thanks, time to get my order adjusted down at Amazon

edit: Never mind, the rep won't adjust it for me. Have people had success with this in the past?

keep us informed sir.

Curious as to why Amazon has 3rd sellers show up ahead of their actual stock. Dragon Age is on there for $14.98 but it's off to the side.

And at some point in time, I apparently purchased that game on PSN. I can't keep up with this backlog.

EDIT: Ha! Apparently I purchased it just recently. $24 for the Game of the Year edition purchased on December 28th,

 

[Stage On]

Urg got an e-mail telling me to call in to Staples Customer service to confirm my purchase and e-mail address. Talk about weird, now that I've done that I hope the codes don't take much longer to show up in my inbox

 

[i-Jest]

Not sure if I should pre-order Zelda TP HD. Is it going go be hard to find once released?

Given our dollar, I wouldn't be surprised if it'll be expensive as hell at release. Preorder now, think about it later.

Amazon doesn't technically price match anyone else but their own website, though I guess someone could try convincing them the MSRP's dropped and see if they'll adjust.

They're clearance though, which isn't covered under BB's price protection I believe.

You're quoting their price match policy though? They've price protected clearance games for me before, I had Sword art adjusted earlier this week for the 30% off, but this was before the drop to $5 so now I have to try again haha. I missed Xonic when it was up though

 

[Zeeman]

keep us informed sir.

I subsequently got an email from Amazon support saying they only price match TVs, so unless I find someone who really doesn't know what they're doing, I doubt I'll get the adjustment, which is disappointing. I clicked the link to tell Amazon it's available at a lower price, but who knows

That's because the Amazon one is out of stock at the moment. Stock level takes precedence over price.

Will my preorder get adjusted automatically?

it will since it's amazon.

I'm hoping my best buy order adjusts though when they bring the price down =/

 

[Lexxism]

Yeah, it's on the product page.

Yay! Got a pre-order on Amazon.

Not sure if U should pre-order 1 or 2 Pokken controllers though. They seem like good retro controllers for VC games, do they work with them?

 

[Mimosa97]

I've just received my codes from staples. Now I don't know what to do with all that money on my account.

ONE HUNDRED CANADIAN DOLLARS

WHAT SHOULD I DO GUYS

THAT'S LIKE ONE HUNDRED CANADIAN DOLLARS MORE THAN WHAT I HAD BEFORE

69 bucks USD, use them wisely.

 

[i-Jest]

I was reviewing my Amazon preorders for Mirror's Edge and Nitroplus Blasterz. Seems I have them at a 15% discount when I thought they'd be 30% off. This was back in October when Amazon was doing the 15% off preorders I guess.

Gonna see if I can combine them with another order that hasn't shipped to get 30% off. This is gonna be hell.


Also:

Seems my Dark Souls 3 order isn't the day one edition but the standard edition. I thought early preorders would have defaulted to day one editions. Guess not. Don't feel like doing anything about it though. There's no real difference between the two, right?

 

[Mimosa97]

Just by looking at the current sale on the PSN I already know that I'll just go on a buying rampage then only play one or two games in the next 6 months. Buying AAA games at 10$ is too tempting.

The fact that I've had a PS4 for less than 3 weeks isn't helping at all.

There are pretty good PSN sales on a semi-regular basis. Maybe just pick a couple you want to play now and then pick up more at the next sale.

Is there supposed to be a cheaper amiibo-less retail release later on?

 

[Mimosa97]

I can't. I'm too weak. I don't have enough self control anymore.

I think I must have spent 100$ in games in the last 2 years. Only buying a few games for super cheap during steam sales or PSN PS3 sales and not playing much. But now that I bought a PS4 I'm back to my old self.

Worst part is that I'm sharing accounts with a friend so I've got plenty of games that he bought digitally like The Witcher 3, Tomb Raider, GTA 5, Dragon Age etc... But I still feel the need to buy games on sales.

Good... Gooooood...

Also GameStops in the US, so I imagine EBs as well, are going to have a select soundtrack CD as a pre-order bonus.

 

[tiijj]

What's with that, I thought the bonus CD comes with any Zelda TP preorder.

 

[SirKhalid]

If anyone wants Bladestorm for Xbox One for 11.99$.

Probably not a lot of stock when I bought mine yesterday it became OOS.

Whoa looks like I'm FINALLY getting Permanent Residency here in Canada on the 28th this month! What a long and tedious process that was.

 

[EvilMario]

Whoa looks like I'm FINALLY getting Permanent Residency here in Canada on the 28th this month! What a long and tedious process that was.

Congratulations! The process was definitely long for me, but at least once the paper work was in motion it was pretty painless. It's just the waiting and lack of communication. Are you thinking of going for citizenship eventually?

 

[Mimosa97]

Whoa looks like I'm FINALLY getting Permanent Residency here in Canada on the 28th this month! What a long and tedious process that was.

Congrats !

 

[zroid]

Going to see if Amazon will adjust my TP HD order to reflect the new price (as in change it from 30% off $100 to 30% off $80).

 

[Dazzler]

Whoa looks like I'm FINALLY getting Permanent Residency here in Canada on the 28th this month! What a long and tedious process that was.

I've had my PR for two years now and getting through that process was one of the biggest reliefs I've ever felt

Two more years and I can apply for citizenship

 

[doctorcdcs]

yeah, let us know if that works.

I've definitely been considering it, but it's something i have to look into a bit more. I'd like to keep my EU Citizenship, and I'm not sure if dual citizenship is allowed.

 

[Glorified G]

Shiiiiiiiiiit! Lost Song and Superbeat Xonic have dropped to $5 and $1 respectively on Best Buy. They're sold out, of course, but those who bought it; time to price protect!!!!! Damn, I should've bought more!!!!!! I only bought one each like a normal person, lol.

P4: Dancing LE sin't on there anymore. Wonder if that dropped, too.

If it makes you feel any better, Superbeat Xonic was still $39.97 a couple days ago and it was already sold out. I don't believe anyone took advantage of that big reduction price drop.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Going to see if Amazon will adjust my TP HD order to reflect the new price (as in change it from 30% off $100 to 30% off $80).

Shouldn't it be automatic? The discount is based on the price of the game, so if the price drops, the discount will adjust accordingly.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Not sure if I should keep my pre-order at Amazon for TPHD or pre-order at EB and cancel the Amazon one. Don't want to miss out on the preorder soundtrack but Amazon is so much easier and I might save a few dollars if there's a random sale or a price error (like XCX).

 

[zroid]

Shouldn't it be automatic? The discount is based on the price of the game, so if the price drops, the discount will adjust accordingly.

normally yes, but they just changed the price to $70 intead of giving it a 30% off promo, so it doesn't adjust automatically

yeah, let us know if that works.

Yep, it worked! Amazon CS is great as usual. As long as you're reasonable I feel like they tend to help you out.

Upcoming Changes to Crunchyroll

To Our Valued Crunchyroll Viewers,

Over the past 5 years, we have been dedicated to making Crunchyroll the best place for anime fans in Canada to enjoy Japanese anime, simulcasting 50 shows every season and adding many library titles. We've also expanded the free streaming service across mobile and living room devices, including Apple TV, PlayStation and Xbox consoles. In order to continue building the best collection of anime alongside the increasing cost of content, we're making some changes to the free Crunchyroll experience.

As of February 1, 2016, catalog titles will be available exclusively to Premium subscribers. As a free user, you will still have access to all currently airing titles, so you'll have plenty of time to stay up to date on the newest anime. Each new episode of a currently airing title will be available for a 13-week period, after which it will be available to Premium subscribers only.

As we strive to continue improving our Premium service on a global level, there are many factors that must be considered on a region by region basis. For the past 5 years, despite fluctuation in the Canadian exchange rates and the rising cost of licensing and streaming anime, the price of Crunchyroll Premium has remained the same. Our goal is to continually improve our Premium user experience and deliver the highest quantity and quality of anime and manga titles to all subscribers, including the latest premieres straight from Japan, without raising the price of our Premium service.

If you have any questions regarding the change, please see our knowledge base article here.

If you'd like to sign up for a 14-day free trial of Premium to get unlimited access to all our shows ad-free, please click here.

~ Shinji & The Crunchyroll Team

if i'm reading this right, if we're in canada and we don't have a premium account, we won't have access to most of their catalog anymore unless its currently airing, and only then will it be episodes that were recently airing? could someone clarify this for me?

 

[Sealtest]

Good luck to everyone pre-releasing Oath of The Gatewatch tonight!


Hopefully you pull what you need and win all those packs.

 

[TheGamingBox]

nice.

episodes older than 13 weeks will be premium only

 

[doctorcdcs]

episodes older than 13 weeks will be premium only

so they're limiting canadians to only episodes that have aired within a 13 week period, and locking them out of everything else including completed series, unless they pay for a sub?


hahahaha. wow. they could have just increased the price of a membership for cdns, but whatever i guess.

If this is the only thread you visit then you might not have seen that Omikron: The Nomad Soul (PC, Steam) is free on Square Enix digital store using the discount code "omikron".

I had it on the Dreamcast and it always controlled like shit but it was a pretty unique and interesting game too from Quantic Dream (Indigo Prophecy, Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human). Should run on a potato these days and whoever dies with the biggest Steam backlog wins, right? Also, David Bowie is in it.
