Is this is an Amazon issue or a Nintendo/Sony issue? I remember Spider-man having this same problem too.... I don't evne have a date for my Smash copy.

Anybody knows how much EBGames is giving for PS3 stuff these days?

I've been looking for move controllers since I just bought a PSVR and I saw this ad on Kijiji of a dude selling this for 250$ and I'm thinking I could probably get it and then go and sell everything other than the controllers to EB and come out of it with a good deal for the two move controllers...

Dunno. Sold mine on Facebook with 2 controllers for 80$. I think they dont accept PS3.

My PlayStation Classic has been sitting in some factory for a week. What’s up with Walmart? I need them to ship it so I can return it.

 

[Vinc]

Any way to verify that Walmart will actually deliver Smash on time?

Do they still use UPS or did they revert back to Canada Post?

Same.

My Black Friday orders from Walmart all came through CP.

My Fallout 76 used UPS, and my Playstation Classic is using UPS. But no word of Smash.

Though a friend called and the Jan 2nd date that's going around is a placeholder.

 

[Yasumi]

For Pokemon Let's Go, I didn't get a shipping notification from Walmart until the day before release, 10pm. It can still happen.

 

[CaptainCanada]

Looks like walmart has charged me 79.89 for smash? Even though my order says its for $50. Anyone else see this?

 

[Scuffed]

Purolator is by far the worst courier in the business.

Live chat seldom works.

If you call in, the wait is insufferable. Call back doesn't work either.

Not just you. I'm having an issue with them atm too. Looks like they got greedy and took on too much business because of the postal strike and now they are losing packages. It's a real mess right now.

 

[CaptainCanada]

Talking to Walmart about smash bros and the guy said it was showing an estimated delivery of January 2nd... I'm going to just walk away slowly and hope that's some kind of hilarious joke.

 

[names2hard4you]

Although I'm buying digital a buddy of mine asked me that I ordered him Smash when it was up for $60 on Amazon. Seems my order is being prepared to ship but will only be delivered between next Tuesday and Thursday.

Battlefield 5 is 50% off on standard and the deluxe version on xbox but you needed to have a previous game bought (bf1, bf4, bfh) then pick bfv 5 in-game menu and it will prompt you to buy at the discounted price.

Also, there is this store page for the deluxe version.

Damn, wish I saw this before I opened and installed my copy yesterday, would have returned it and bought the digital deluxe for the same amount.

 

[Megasoum]

Dunno. Sold mine on Facebook with 2 controllers for 80$. I think they dont accept PS3.

Ok I just called and the dude said they are still taking them and offering between 30 and 50$ depending of the model and they are still taking games too.... About the price I expected.

Games can go for .05-.15c so be weary.

 

[Seik]

I seem to have been charged 68.94$ for Smash by Wal-Mart.

My order says total 57.49$.....

Contacting them right now.

 

[Ecks]

Gooooooooood luck my Walmart dudes. Just got this.

Yeah let me know how that goes, I called them because my card had a pending charge of 79.89 but the rep on the phone told me that it was just a pre auth and it wouldnt be charged at that amount. Who knows....

Welp, I got the same explanation.

This amounts was the exact same as my Yoshi Crafted World order, so I thought someone mixed the orders and charged me for the wrong game...but apparently it was all just a CC check up.

They should just do a 0.01$ transaction...this would be exponentially less confusing.

Yeah I agree, which Ive seen them do before. He couldn't really explain the arbitrary amount with any actual reason. But according to him smash won't arrive until Jan 2nd so it doesnt matter anyways lol.

What the fuck !

I was expecting Smash to arrive next Monday...let's wait and see what happens I guess!

 

[UsoEwin]

Nothing on Walmart for Smash on my end.

Mon signal 5GHz (wifi) n'apparaît plus sur mon ordinateur de bureau. Il était bel et bien présent en début de semaine. Pourtant, il est bien présent sur tous les autres appareils. J'ai même essayé trois adaptateurs wifi différents qui supportent ce type de signal, mais sans succès. Quelqu'un peut m'aider?

Feel free to translate!

 

[Bilollipop]

Walmart Rep told me my copy of Smash is shipping out 5 business days after release.
For an in-store pick up too.
Site description has this:
*Ship Date for this item is Dec 7, 2018. Based on regional shipping timeline you may not receive this item until 3- 5 business day after the ship date. Unfortunately this publisher will not allow Walmart Canada to ship the product to customers to meet the in store street date."

 

[a916]

$55 for Dragon Quest on PSN... is that cheapest deal we've had since launch?

 

[DazzlerIE]

good sale on the eShop this week to coincide with the awards tonight. Might be time to pick up Celeste!

''My 5Ghz Wi-Fi signal doesn't show on my desktop anymore, which was there in the beginning of the week. However, it does shows on all my other devices. I did even try three different kinds of Wi-Fi adapters that all support this kind of signal, but to no avail. Can someone help me?''

 

[MrMegaMill]

Is this is an Amazon issue or a Nintendo/Sony issue? I remember Spider-man having this same problem too.... I don't evne have a date for my Smash copy.

I don't either. I messaged them on Monday and they said they GUARANTEE that I will be getting it on Friday, so, I am going to hold them to that.

If they don't, Ill just buy a copy from EB and return my Amazon copy to EB when it arrives. But since I have proof that someone said they 'guarantee' it, I am going to hold that to them.

[Rowsdower]

Amazon has charged me for Smash. Delivery date is showing the 11th to the 12th now. Wonder if I'll get it faster if they ship tomorrow.

Probably a PC issue then. Tinker around with the Wi-Fi settings on the PC (try connecting an ethernet cable, connect to a different Wi-Fi signal like a phone hotspot). Worse case, reset your OS.

 

[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

Walmart's call centre and chat are useless when it comes to video games, just don't even bother with them

 

[firehawk12]

Any cheap copies of BFV? It's annoying that the digital deal is only Xbox.

 

[Bilollipop]

So the rep I chatted to said I could ask the store manager if they'd let me use the in store stock for my online order. I doubt that'll work so I guess I'll pick up a copy at walmart and then return the pre-order whenever it arrives.

 

[Hero of Legend]

BTW, I stumbled upon Titanfall 2 for both PS4 and XBO at Dollarama yesterday. I didn't see price tags, but games are always $4 IIRC.

47.99 on PSN atm.

47.99 on PSN atm.

Oh wow, as part of the VGA sale? Nice.

Walmart's customer support in general is terrible. I ordered a Pro Controller during the Black Friday sale and Canada Post delivered the package to the store on the 27th. Still haven't got the pick-up e-mail and their online support refuses to help and keeps blaming Canada Post and won't ship a replacement until Canada Post has investigated (4 weeks). I just want my fricken item.

 

[Einreich]

They are the worst. Im still getting free games from them.

 

[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

Walmart shipped Smash :)

 

[ReddishGUI]

Walmart shipped Smash :)

They only shipped my goddamn splatoon amiibo...

 

[Yasumi]

Still waiting, seems like they're doing it in waves.

 

[MrNewVegas]

10—11 I’m telling you. Every WM order was between then

 

[stan_marsh]

Same, they just shipped Smash.

Free Christmas present for my little brother, cool.

 

[UsoEwin]

Is there no way to see Walmart order status if you didnt make an account when you ordered?


Oh, and just like that it shipped. Estimated arrival: 20th. Lmao, well looks like Im going digital then.

 

[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

Theme song for this thread?

 

[GSG]

Walmart shipped Smash :)

Do they send out an email when they ship?

 

[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

Ya

 

[ohlawd]

sweet, my Walmart copy shipped too. they've got a whole month to deliver to the nearest CP location

 

[xero93]

Amazon adamant that the Smash page ALWAYS said it won't be eligible for release day delivery since June. Gonna see if I can't just get a refund for my Prime then.

EDIT: Got back 44 bucks, I'll take it!
