U wut, m8? Everything is showing up as sold by Amazon.ca for me...
I'm not sure what you're referring to, unless you're talking specifically about niche items that actually aren't offered by Amazon.ca (thus being offered by a third party seller).
I just looked through a bunch of blu-rays, seems fine.
Tell me about it, I just checked with a friend who doesn't seem to have this problem. Did they restrict me from buying items or something?
Yeah, upon further inspection it seems like they've barred my account from buying media from Amazon.ca as all items including examples given to me show as shipped and sold by "Sold by: Amazon.com.ca, Inc."

You need to take some screen caps. Curious to see what is happening.
Are you clicking through a bad URL?

Were you looking at a niche item or something?
...why? Can you post screens of what you're seeing?

Some of my invoices for preordered times show Amazon.com.ca but I am pretty sure they are coming from .ca. I am getting free release day shipping on them.
No options for Movies, Music or Books. But when I log out the options are available again.
It may just be a problem with my account. They're looking into it. Sorry to jump the gun, but it's interesting nonetheless.

So guys if i pre-order games on PSN in anticipation of the almost certain inbound MSRPincrease to 89.99 for new releases, there won't be any adjustment when said price increase happens right?

Yeah, the price gets locked in. I did it for a couple of titles. They charge you when you make the order.
Seriously. I have a 30% off preorder of Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam that I'm tempted to cancel because I haven't played Dream Team yet, but all I can think is "When is it going to be this cheap any time soon?"
Nintendo games are crazy to cancel. To answer your question, never.
And this seems better than Dream Team, so just play this one.

No. Nintendo Canada is slow as shit. Keep an ear to the ground though.
Pokemon R/B n3DS bundle is live at best buy!
Thanks for the heads up. Ordered and was able to phone my friend to wake her up to order too.

Is that "Sold and shipped by: Best Buy" tag a new thing?
Like who else could sell and ship stuff on bestbuy.ca?

I was having issues with the Best Buy website, it gave me an error twice. Finally able to get an order through, but had to use Paypal instead of directly billing my Visa. Thankfully, based on the confirmation email from Paypal, it doesn't look like it'll charge until the item ships, does that sound right?
Bonus: I had $0.31 in my Paypal account! 0.13% off, that's a deal in today's environment!

Preordered, but I'm gonna wait and see what I want to do. If I end up buying, it will purely be as a collector thing, it would never be opened. I wanna see how "limited" these end up being.

1.99 each here in Saguenay, Qc. Starting tomorrow.
Safe to say I will buy a few. I
f there are any remaining.
Thanks! I ordered from here, just waiting for my confirmation email since I used the Guest method of checking out.

Noticed the "sold and shipped from Best Buy".
Are they planning on using third party sellers?

Scalper detected.
Truly becoming a buyer's market again. Let me go trade my stocks for cauliflower.

I was thinking the same thing.
Everything in BB's 3DS section seems to have that. Ex: Pokemon game here.
Haha, not a scalper. Collector
I don't want to just turn around and resell, I just like to own cool gaming collectibles.

Every single item has the tag so MAYBE something is brewing related to third-party sellers.
Yeah. Maybe it's something to do with the dollar and/or the poor performance BB had this FY, especially over the holiday? Perhaps their online strategy is changing.
Makes sense for them. Take a cut of the profit while giving other sellers a bigger spotlight. Seems like a win win.
If they do introduce third party sellers though, they better have an introductory program that encourages customers to review the seller and the experience. I never, ever touch a third party seller unless they are rated highly on amazon.

Well bestbuy.com has a marketplace thing so maybe it's coming up here.
Edit: Seems like they are already doing it but it wasn't really apparent before...

Got a Pokemon 3DS but no idea if I want to keep it or not. I love my N3DS XL but this thing is so cool. Anyone have any experience with the regular N3DS? How's the size?

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
239.99$ wut?
That's $275 in Celine Dion province, no thank you.

It's $199 US.
$239 CAD is a deal so good, US people close to the border should consider buying it here.
At the current exchange rate, $199 US is $275 before taxes.
