I was looking at the PSN web store

what the fuck

us price is $100
 
I wouldn't assume we'll even get a retail copy, otherwise Amazon would have opened up pre-orders by now.

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
 
The usual...I hate trying to cancel stuff with that error, it's actually worse to have one large order due to this error.

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
 
So uhh...are we getting a physical copy of Gravity Daze Remastered? Amazon.ca is still listed as "Temporarily Unavailable". Release is in less than a month, damn it!

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.

The fear is with me, as well. :/

I think it will eventually be up for preorder since they have page for the item.
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?
 
Gonna try that now.

EDIT: OMG it worked! Thanks!

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.
 
Let's say I have a cheap game I want to buy from Amazon. Is there any way I can get free shipping by making them add it to another order I made a long time ago but is shipping soon like FF Explorers or Fire Emblem Fates? How would I go about in that case?
 
That's correct.

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?
 
I've been cancelling a bunch of Fire Emblem SE preorders. I got rid off 2. Especially the gamestop US one. With the CAD value right now I don't want to pay 200$ for it on top of the import tax from UPS. Still have my BB and Amazon.ca orders.

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. :)
 
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 >.>
 
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).
 
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.
 
Gamestop is cancelling all FE special editions placed after a certain date. I ordered mine in Canada the day they went up so they better not try to fuck with me.
 
It sounds like a similar situation to what happened back with some prominent figures last spring: Someone forgot to put the stop sell on the LEs there. I don't think this was an issue for EB Games, though.
