I guess that's fine. I'm saving 20% on it anyway after buying the PSN card through Staples.
Can you imagine if Canada is literally the only country in the developed world where a physical copy of Gravity Rush is not being sold.
But Amazon.ca has a page up for it now (preorders not open yet) so I think it'll come
fuck me I'm having the same problem
rep said I can't cancel Mario & Luigi because it's shipping (bullshit, I have no Prime so I'm waiting until the 29th for shipping) and Return to Popolocrois and Project x Zone 2 are both shipping too but they aren't out until mid-Feb.
well, they said I can refuse delivery at the door. didn't turn out so well last time I had to do this. I'm gonna try a different rep tomorrow
Using the mobile app will bypass the error and let you cancel it.
This is where my fears begin... Our dollar being so bad that games of limited quantity wind up not being released in Canada and only the US.

I think it will eventually be up for preorder since they have page for the item.
The fear is with me, as well. :/
I hope they do, I've been wanting this game for a while now. If it is made available, I just hope it's not an extremely limited amount and I miss out on it.

You tell me, I have been considering ordering it from .com but it's too damn expensive with the exchange rate. Amazon.ca save us please.
thanks, it worked
had to cancel Mario & Luigi Paper Jam, Return to Popolocrois, and Project x Zone 2. no fucking time for games until May. Star Fox kept its E3 discount so that's good.

If you buy a game from gamestop.com (US website) and decide to return it, you'd have to return it back through the mail, right? You can't return the item to a Canadian ebgames, correct?

That's correct.
I've been confused everytime I opened up the thread today... why the word wasn't just removed lol /s

Quotation marks are about all we can afford.
I had to use it for the first time this week when I wanted to cancel the Shovel Knight Amiibo. I'm glad I remembered that trick from when it was posted in this thread before.

alright thanks. I got an order of FE Fates SE from there. its getting near $150 after converting to CDN. jeebus save us!
couldn't you just place an order for the cheap game along with another game like dead island 2 to get the free shipping, get the cheap game in the mail when it ships, and then cancel dead island?
Anyone looking for something to play in January that hasn't played it should jump at that price. If you have any interest in puzzle games, you'll have a good time.
Rather than cancel them, I'm sure one of us would have bought them from you.
If you decide to return/cancel it, let us know. I might buy it from you. Firehawk offered to sell me his extra one. It's not a sure thing though, since it's from EB, so it's nice to have other options.

ordered mine here: http://www.play-asia.com/gravity-rush-remastered-chinese-english-subs/13/70987x
it's not like it's that much more than it'd be from amazon (if they ever even have it)

Yup, I'm totally one of them. Couldn't preorder worth a damn when it went up originally.
What did you keep though?

And there was nothing wrong with it?
now that you mentioned it there was a small thing missing and I haven't noticed up until now, which is the paper sleeve / cover that has the PS4 and the elephant symbol like in this video. but everything else was sealed.
I know it sounds crazy but those sales happen sometime.with 1-2 copies available.
just missed a fall out Pib Boy Edition for 89.99$ as it was sold out when i was paying >.>
Just Star Fox. can't pass on Platinum.
only had that and those three games I mentioned before canceling. the rest were 2015 games like Miku

Any word on Bravely Second preorders? Europe and Australia both have official release dates only a month away.
Who the fuck knows what's going on, the lack of any retailer showing on that and Pokken have basically made it so I can't justify getting them since I might not be able to get a discount and full retail is ludicrous (more so for Pokken than Bravely but still).

That's 42.99$ USD, or 63$ CAD, Amazon.com is 29.99$ USD + 9$ USD shipping, that should be cheaper and faster than play-asia.
However, if Amazon.ca gets it, it will likely be 40$ cad. The dream is still alive, until February 2nd.

not that I'm complaining
So on boxing week I ordered a bunch of Lego Dimensions packs and a Wii U Pro Controller, all of which were backordered.
Amazon has started to ship them all, but all are shipping from Mississauga so they take a full week to get to Vancouver.
That said, I have Prime so shouldn't it be 2-day express shipping? Or is it because they said when I ordered "should arrive by January 26th"they will just put it on the slowest shipping since they are technically shipping ahead of schedule?

I think their shipping guarantee is only when items are in stock.

Go on chat and check. Though i did find out on my short stint with Prime that the 2 day shipping only applies if you live in a major city. Rural towns see no benefit in shipping times.
