You don't own anything forever with current gen games. Way too many games, especially on PS4 and Xbone, require updates, patches, or an online connection. If your internet goes out completely, a staggering amount of your PS4 and Xbone games are now useless.

I was going to ask if that's ever been done before during black friday.
I doubt they'll discount it, but I think I'd bite if they did.
Oh, I think I remember that. Back when we had deals...It happened exactly once, in 2015, and it was an Amazon thing.
In other words, don't expect it to happen ever again.

I definitely remember it happening with Walmart later on.
Fake edit: Yep, I have several $20-30 discounted orders from them in November 2018.
Oh, hmm, must've forgotten. It definitely wasn't a straight percentage off (almost) all games, though.
This.wBENDERw your questions are valid and good BUT CloseTalker speaks the truth. I've been a huge physical only buyer but over the past year pretty much gone all digital because of all the patches and quick price drops (physical and digital).
You will own the disc forever yes but except for Nintendo stuff everything seems to have this online component whether it's patches or server dependent.
Gamepass shows incredible value. As an adult there's MORE than enough to play and it's going platform agnostic. If you really love a game then can buy it discounted digital.
But even as a physical braggart as I have been for many years, now I employ the strategy of using digital subscriptions as a "rental" service, something sorely lacking from video games since blockbuster went away.
Gamepass is the new Blockbuster video.
EB's edge satisfaction guarantee is perfect for short full priced physical games like link's awakening.
IMO buy digital buy later and buy less. Use Gamepass to fill in the gaps.
If twice a year you wanna splurge and go the full $80 digital on AAA where you want to support the dev like TLOU2 and FF7R no harm done.
They send those out for everything. Doesn't typically mean anything.Just noticed that Walmart "Ran out" of copies of Star Wars and CoD. I'm amazed that they're almost out, but also hope this is just their standard message that they seem to send for every game.
You think this but I had the same dilemma when I went to Cedar Point in Ohio, and if you're gonna be there from either half day or even open to close someones gonna want to eat.I haven't been to Canada's Wonderland since I was like, 6 years old - and I'm planning to go to Halloween Haunt with some buddies. Which package is the best bang for my buck? The "All-Inclusive" pass speaks to me because it includes parking, but I don't know if anyone else is getting a Fright Pass, or if we'd even have time for rides/eating between all the other stuff.
If the Ultimate Pass included daytime admission, it would be a no-brainer. It only includes the haunt (7-12) though.You think this but I had the same dilemma when I went to Cedar Point in Ohio, and if you're gonna be there from either half day or even open to close someones gonna want to eat.
They can cancel them. All of them. As long as I get 25$ voucher by game canceled.Just noticed that Walmart "Ran out" of copies of Star Wars and CoD. I'm amazed that they're almost out, but also hope this is just their standard message that they seem to send for every game.
I want both games, so I hope not. lolThey can cancel them. All of them. As long as I get 25$ voucher by game canceled.
Can't you take it to a store?Sooo. EB mailed me my Zelda Dreamer Edition in a bubble mailer, and naturally it arrived squished. I knew I couldn't get anything, but I figured it couldn't hurt to try and contact customer service and complain, what could it hurt?
So I email them, and they want pictures of my game. That sounds fair, so I send them them. What do I get in reply to that? A copy paste of their return policy, showing that they don't take returns on damaged goods, and if I mail it back to them they'll just throw it out and not give me a refund. Good game EB, good game.
I'm guessing they want me to complain to Purolator, or hit them with a chargeback, or something.
Why do we hate Amazon again?
Certainly. But, nobody gives a shit about my complaint. I do want the game, just not fucked up. Amazon would've at least given me $5, and not socially engineer me into a trap.
The game is unopened, of course, my pictures showed that. And I literally never asked to return it, I just complained that it was damaged.We recommend you attempt to get a refund by going to one of our local stores. Please note that the store will not be able to give you full price if they accept to take it back. Because the game package has been opened, the store will not be able to sell it to another customer at full price value.

Nope, I don't do Twitter. I do do Paypal though, so I just filed a claim with them.

You haven't even tried returning it. Right now you have the item and EB has your money. PayPal will look at it and shrug their shoulders saying the transaction was completed.
If you sent it back and EB didn't refund, then you have a case to complain to PayPal. Right now you're just abusing their policy.
And creating a Twitter account to publicly put EB on blast is minimal effort. You could even shame them on Facebook.
Did some research before ultimately opting for a dedicated 8bitdo controller. I hear good things about it, but you may also want to look at the mayflash magic-ns dongle as well.
I never had any problem with mine. Works perfectly with XB1 and DS4 controllers. I never tried using it on my Switch yet.
Thanks for the feedback, all. I opted for the Mayflash (cost a few bucks less) and it works swimmingly on the Switch and PC. I updated the firmware and had the Wii U Pro pad paired in minutes. The right analog position can be a little awkward, but otherwise I love the feel.They're good, just a fairly short range on it, so be prepared to maybe sit closer or at a better angle for the Switch.
The PC portion of it is weird, because it's not a traditional Bluetooth adapter.

Good to know. I guess just regular admission is fine, then we can split the parking. We are going Thanksgiving Sunday, and I'm not sure if it would be busy then or not.You'll definitely have to have time for eating, and when i went to halloween haunt couple years ago there was really no need for fast pass stuff
I think you actually need to look at their return policy. The first sentence clearly shows their position.Yup, you're going about this all the wrong way, and it's only going to be your fault when nothing works out.
I'd completely forgotten I had that preorder with them, lolThanks for the gentle reminder that there's no release date for my pre-order of Prime 4 yet, Walmart. I had almost forgotten.
The trilogy will undoubtedly be full-price (or more), so I wouldn't even be upset about that.I'd completely forgotten I had that preorder with them, lol
I bet we'll get a 2D metroid or the trilogy before Prime 4, and Walmart will apply this order to that...
If it's more than full price I will cryThe trilogy will undoubtedly be full-price (or more), so I wouldn't even be upset about that.
I like getting those just for the reminder that I snagged a pre-order for 60$. By the time it releases the MSRP will probably be 90$ and it'll be on Switch 2.Thanks for the gentle reminder that there's no release date for my pre-order of Prime 4 yet, Walmart. I had almost forgotten.

"Unopened new merchandise in saleable condition can be returned or exchanged."
Opposites are inferred from that. Shipping damages equal unsaleable product, and EB reserves the right to refuse returns. I did nothing wrong except email them when I received a squished game and basically asked "hey can I exchange this or something?" Their clearly don't give a fuck. I'm not going to be held accountable for shipping damages caused by inadequate packaging. I could attempt to return the game in store, but I have no idea if they've gone and flagged my order # as unsaleable, so it's not worth the effort when I have protection. This is 100% a PayPal chargeback moment IMO.
I disagree. I'm fairly sure the first CSR I hit escalated me to a supervisor.Let's say your chargeback succeeds and PayPal refunds you. Now you have your money back and the product. According to EB (and likely criminal law), you've just committed theft, and they have every right to pursue you for the item, or at the very least blacklist you from ever buying from them again.
Policies are intentionally vague and one powertripping CSR who goes "lol no" is not a denial of return. If you actually go in store and get rejected, and escalate to their District Manager, and then the Head Office, and they all say no, then you'd have a case. Being too lazy to even attempt to return the product is not what a chargeback is for.
Ellie edition is exclusive to EB.Anyone know which US retailer can ship Ellie edition of TLou2 to Canada? I know amazon. Com says no. I missed it at eb. Also anyone know where I can buy official dual shock 3 controller?
for Canada, I couldnt get it so I am looking for a store that carry it and ship to Canada from the US.
Perhaps they're going digital-only with it like they did the last Wolfenstein.Has anyone been able to find a physical Doom Eternal for Switch up for pre-order anywhere? Everything I've seen still points to a November release but only PS4/XB1 are available. Am I missing something here?

No, wait... that's not it. 'Cause Gamestop US has a physical version up. Hmmm...
Any Canadian sites I can order from carrying The Shining 4k?
I checked Best buy, Walmart and Amazon. Amazon had a reseller listing but that's its.
No, super annoying. I went on amazon US, ended up being just over $40.Any Canadian sites I can order from carrying The Shining 4k?
