With not many stores keeping games on the shelf long, this gen is going to be interesting in Canada. At least for those, such as myself, that prefer physical over digital. Stores could stop selling the game you are waiting to hit that $40-60 price, no way am I paying $80-90 for a standard edition.

Kicking myself for skipping Mad Max at $30, probably be out of stores before it gets on sale that low again.

 

[mullet2000]

bigger takeaway here is you guys buying Gravity Rush

that game was trash :x

The guy who likes VC2 more than VC1 is calling other games trash?

1 is aight but not worth 45

I'd pay that much for 2 and 3 tho. I like those two better

Hmmmm......

Spoiler

HMMMM....

 

[Sora_N]

Oh no you didn't! Your favourite waifu/anime/whatever you hold dear is trash!

Keep the waifus out of this.

 

[MotionBlue]

Not really relevant, but Toys R'Us is removing older games from their shelves tomorrow. Games like Uncharted 2, XCOM, ICO etc.

What's happening to those games? They don't even get clearance'd?

A direct conversion from a shady site. Just use Costco or something.

No way man. I'm having a blast replaying this on PS4. It's even better now than it was on the Vita.

That's a US PS+ card

Or is CDN considered US PS+?

They are already clearance. They are removed from the floor, and from inventory. Then destroyed(Or taken home by staff if Management are not dicks).

Urgh, I hate reading stuff like this. If only they could donate them to children hospital or something...

 

[Mimosa97]

I'm shocked you're using this low quality gif of my husbando Tom Hardy

Still better quality than your taste in games

There's no way to even look at this online, is there? I couldn't even find those games in the search or find a video games clearance section.

Any deals on The Witness?

Alternately, who has the best exchange rate? PSN? Steam? Another PC digital distributor?

I don't think the Witness itself has any sales, but I bought the Staples PSN cards on sale last week (or was it the week before last) with the intention of using some of that on The Witness.

 

[firehawk12]

It's random because publishers can set their own prices in the different currencies. For example if a dev doesn't set a price on Steam, then Valve uses their own exchange rate to calculate the CDN price.

 

[KarmaCow]

AFAIK on Steam, the Canadian price is actually the cheapest non-region locked coming to just over $30 USD.

Ah, yeah I saw it's $43 on Steam which seems pretty reasonable.

 

[Clive]

Do we even know the PSN price in CAD for The Witness?

 

[ohlawd]

ok

 

[zroid]

I can confirm ohlawd's taste is dubious

however, he's not wrong about Gravity Rush 💩

 

[bababouille]

Any deals on PSTVs? I bought a bunch of Vita and PSP games during recent PSN sales even though I don't have the consoles for them.

 

[User 479360]

Gravity Rush was a fun game, and one of the better Vita games I've played. Was it great? No. But it was definitely well above average.

The controls weren't always great and things got repetitive, but I liked it and will likely play through Remastered.

Best exchange rate for PC games is bundlestars.

 

[1337Sauce]

On the BestBuy order page it is currently saying that my two items will ship when all are available, with one being Final Fantasy Explorers and the other being World of Warcraft: Legion.

Please tell me this is not the case and they will still be shipped on an individual basis! I would really like to not have to go purchase a copy of FF: Explorers tomorrow and lose my discount on this copy.

Are they listed under the same shipment, or are they listed separately as Shipment 1 and Shipment 2? Looking up Legion now and it seems that it doesn't have a tentative release date so they should ship separately. I don't know if other buyers of FF: Explorers have had their copies ship.

 

[1337Sauce]

Yeah, just noticed that it says two different shipments. My bad, was just thrown off by the fact that it said that combined with the fact that my copy hadn't shipped yet!

Thank you!

That's the exact way I would describe Gravity Rush. I think the controls will feel much better on PS4.

 

[KnightHart]

I'm so ready to throw an irrational amount of money at the VC Remaster LE

 

[User 479360]

So do I. I look forward to playing it on console with a proper controller.

 

[knacklover]

But which of your controller will you use?

Personally I will use my xbox elite controller with the cronus pro adaptor!

 

[User 479360]

I'll just use my Magma Red controller. I haven't really used my Glacier White or Call of Duty: Black Ops III controllers, and those are the only other ones I have. (I don't game with friends, so they just sit there, but I love buying new controllers as you know).

 

[Samemind]

I liked exploring a fantasy France-in-the-sky world with flight abilities, searching for crystals with this kind of BGM

[Mike Works]

The Witness is $40 CDN! So we got it for less than $30 USD, ha.

 

[The Elite]

Thanks. Bought. PSN frequently has pricing errors and gives us the US price. I am not sure this is the case but I'm not waiting and taking and chances.

 

[Lexxism]

I wish I could have email alerts when certain threads get update posts. It doesn't seem to work on GAF.

Hmm. So, this option doesn't work? Control Panel > Edit Options > Default Thread Subscription Mode > Instant Emai Notification.

 

[The Elite]

I have tried it and it doesn't seem to actually work.

Is it working for anyone else?

Hmm. Let me try it.

edit: Yeah, it doesn't work for me too.

 

[ElNino]

Yeah, I found we often get games listed at the US price until the store is updated (usually later on Tuesdays). Then it goes back to the CDN conversion price.

 

[firehawk12]

It depends. Sony published games haven't had a split in prices... yet.

 

[killroy87]

Nice, grabbed The Witness right when I woke up, so it will be sitting on my PS4 when I'm home from work. Can't wait!

 

[opticalmace]

Tempted to buy the Witness while it's $40 (in case it goes up) but I'm not sure if I'd rather have it on PC... dammit!

 

[Lothars]

The Witness is $40 CDN! So we got it for less than $30 USD, ha.

I noticed that to, I expected it to be 50 but I was happy to see it was 40, So I bought it.

 

[khaaan]

Is Gravity Rush physical on Amazon only? Did I already miss it?

No, it's not been made available yet.

 

[pseudomyxoma]

What's the US price on the Witness? I was not expecting it to be this high but I've been out of the loop a bit I guess

 

[djblue89]

Same price. a lot of digital only PSN games are priced the same in the US and Canada... for now...
