Do Walmart ISPU orders really take a week? I'm surprised that they're so slow. I guess I'll just add a bunch of household stuff to get to $50 next time.

Maybe they'll bring back the option to ship to a Canada Post location. Any day now...
Yeah, and it's dumb. I'd rather just bring back shipping to Canada Post.
Yeah, I get that they took it away for the strike, but it's super lame they haven't implemented it again yet. Luckily they're at least honoring my E3 orders that ship to Canada Post.
They also adde a line on the KH3 page saying it isn't eligible for release day delivery, which wasn't there before.
Did the same with Smash, when I called they just lied to me flat out and said it was ALWAYS there. They'll likely do the same with KH3.
Gonna try to avoid amazon as much as possible, but for anyone who still is gonna buy from them, make sure you screencap the product page when you preorder too. Lying bastards.
I mean, this *is* Kingdom Hearts 3 we're talking about: there's a non-zero chance it's coming out after the 2027 federal election.
Had to use WM pickup "at WM" once and it was one of the worst customer service experience I've ever had.
I thought it would be an easy in and out as they explained. Called the number, it rang for 30 minutes while I waited in the customer service line. They told me that their phone for pickup was not working
Pretty much my experience too. Having picked up a bunch of stuff at BB in the past, I expected a similar experience there but oh no.
After 10 minutes of ringing, I decided to go to the service counter where a polite girl was searching for the guy who was supposed to answer the phone. I had to wait another 10 mins for him to show up, he took my name and went searching for my order. He came back 5 mins later asking me if I got an email. I showed him the confirmation and he told me my order was still "in process" in his system. Baffled, I showed him that the package had been received earlier the same day, confirming the exact time through Canada Post's tracking information. He went back searching (after we waited for a supervisor for another 5 mins) and came back about another 10 minutes later with the package. It took something like 47 minutes to pick up a game. -_-
I got one of those survey emails after picking it up and complained there and asked for someone to write me back. It took two or three weeks before I got a reply but they gave me a discount code
Does anyone know, since EB stopped asking for deposits on pre-orders, can you pre-order a game over the phone? I want to pre-order Ace Combat, so I get the free game, but I don't want to go there if I don't need to.
Amazon hasn't sent my AC7 yet.
I don't think there's any chance of getting it on release day.
I have no idea why this happens with random release day games. They just don't ship. I get no notification as to why or what is going on. The orders just say still arriving on release day.
Happened last with Valkyria Chronicles 4 and I had to eventually just cancel it and go to the store.

EB stopped asking for deposits on preorders? When did this happen?
Too bad you can't make a change or cancel a preorder over the phone. I've had to go in 3 times just to move some around/cancel and make new ones.
They still sometimes ask you to put down at least 5 bucks by default or something (like when you're making use of a promo where you get extra trade in credits toward a specific preorder) but you can always just say you'd rather put nothing down.
So just to provide some additional information, Ebgames removed the $5 deposit for game pre-orders around early 2018/late 2017. Game pre-orders can be done over the phone, however to make the process quickly, be sure to have your info and edge card number in front you. For console and hardware pre-orders, there is still a $25 deposit, which was originally $50.
Also, if you ever do call into Ebgames to inquire if they have a certain game or item in-stock, as well as pre-orders, be sure to have the SKU number as it makes it so much easier for the sales associate to look up the item on the computer.

Wot? Really?
I thought the deposits were a big part of their business.
My gf had to put down a $5 deposit to hold her KH3 Collectors Edition.
Guy above said late 2017 it started so about 18 months then.
Not sure if collectors change things.
Man, Fallout 76 Tricentennial was on sale for $69 and I missed it again, it's sold out on Best Buy and Amazon for Xbox.
But Best Buy is saying it's a $10 savings, and the regular edition at $39 is also a $10 savings, so it looks like the game received a MSRP drop.
Hopefully the next round it's $39 or so and I don't miss it, I really like that box art and I want to explore West Virginia, review scores be damned.

its a great exploration game and the spooky creatures and shit are fun to experience. I bought the tri cont for $50 on the BST at launch if you are okay with digital
I didn't have to put any money down when preordering Sekiro CE.
No, it's the only reason I want the Tricentennial edition, for the box art.
Go to an EB games and snatch the box art from a display disc case :P
Competition from online which doesn't charge anything until shipment, I hope.
The game sucks. Don't waste your time, let alone the money.
Way too many other much better games to play.
I suppose I should really test out the RE2 demo on my pc. $63cdn in fanatical is pretty decent and might push me over the X or Pro.
What I mean is will they give you the pre-order bonus when you buy it on release ?
The BB website usually gives you the pre-order bonus when you buy it on the release date
You can ask, they may not have enough if it's a physical item.
I find it depends on the location and if the pre-order bonus is digital or physical.
I will usually get the physical pre-order bonuses if I buy on release day most of the time, but digital codes are 50/50.
Took advantage of that "every PS4, Xbox, Switch" game is at least 10bucks deal at EB. Pretty decent. Fully paid off a pre-order of Ace Combat 7. I got 10.41 for Dying Light (standard edition) when normally I would have gotten next to nothing for it.
My EB location also did not accept Song of the Deep or Agents of Mayhem fyi.

I'm planning on bringing a few in as well. I expect the original Destiny to be rejected, but the rest should be fine
