Canadian Gaming "Deals" and Discussion Thread 6: Sorry, We Can't Afford a New Thread

Saw this. I have the PS3 one still and I bought it on Steam. I would love to have trophies but I don't think I would buy it again especially at that price. Had no idea Sega actually wanted money and would remaster this too.

Yeah, I always figured games under $40 would always be safe from mark-ups like that and stay the same price. It's been that way (for the most part) until now. I figured wrong!
 
You could get the game for a few dollars during a recent steam sale. It's not definitely not worth 45$ even though it's a very good game.
 
While we hope for deals from actual sources, there are a couple of people selling $20 eshop cards for $15 on ebay.

Each one also comes with some Virtual Console codes.

I can say I bought a few codes from the first seller and everything came through perfectly.
Bought the code that comes with Zelda. Hope I don't get ripped off lol

Good deal, but doesn't it look a bit... sketchy? Is there any precedent of people getting banned / losing their cash for buying black market codes on consoles?
 
Took a chance too.

Are these codes part of a bundle of some sort?

That's what I've been trying to figure out.

I bought a few codes back in December, then they seemed to have gone out of stock and now they're back. That's all I know, although all the codes I've used have worked.
 
How fast do bestbuy usually ship pre-orders?

Was hoping to receive Final Fantasy Explorers tomorrow, but I still haven't received any shipping notices.

Usually ~decent~, they will most likely ship it tonight at 8 pm or so, so if you're in a zone that takes 1 business day from Mississauga, you should get it tomorrow.
 
We are one week out and still no physical edition listed for sale for Gravity Rush Remastered. This is disappointing and will definitely make me think twice about supporting Sony in the future on multiplatform games if they don't pull it together soon
 
Isn't Amazon Canada the only company who has even hinted at Gravity Rush getting a Canadian retail release? It was announced as digital-only and then dude on Twitter confirmed a US retail release. I haven't seen Canada mentioned at all.

They just shipped mine, but I had to check the order page to know. Hoping I can just refuse delivery instead of having to return it to a Best Buy.

The response I got from amazon 2 days ago

"Hello from Amazon.ca.

I completely understand your disappointment. That's definitely not what we want our customers to experience.

My amazon app is showing a price now (29.99), which I didn't before but still say unavailable when I click into it. Some time the app confuses itself with different region but a change could be a sign of something is going up.

With the odds of Bayonetta + Corrin DLC coming up to $20, I might bite on this.

I have never seen anything like this.

No tax though.

They don't charge tax on eShop cards and the like. They charge tax (or not in the case of PSN) for the item you might use the card for. The last time I bought an eShop card was when the Wii U and 3DS wallets were separated and I didn't see tax on the receipt.
 
bigger takeaway here is you guys buying Gravity Rush

that game was trash :x
