It's where I was given an Assassin's Creed 3 code from tsilon back in the day. But then again, that was really just tsilon.
Not a game but: Where can I buy Evangelion 3.33 on Blu-ray for less than $45? Why is it so rare?
Well done! RE2 was sold out in minutes. I really wanted it! I can't see it falling below $30 on Black Friday. It might even be $40. So $20 is an insane price.
You may have to try even lower than that. People are getting the Xr this weekend for really cheap on various carriers (see RFD).
Went to Fan Expo and had tons of fun with the girlfriend and her siblings yesterday. It was their first time going and they too had a blast.
As always the bulk of my time there was spent looking at the art aha. But anyway, the goodies I got this year are 2 posters from the Artist's Alley, 1 vinyl and a figurine:
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time drawing over the main theme song music sheet
Super Smash Brothers Ultimate roster
Blade Runner movie OST vinyl (printed in 1994!)
Link from Wind Waker

Wtf the placeholder (hopefully) price went up to $90 dollars lol.
Not a deal, but The Yakuza Remastered Collection: Day One Edition is up for pre-order on amazon.ca. Right now it has a placeholder price of $87.74(It's a $60 US game collection). Anyone that pre-orders will get the lowest price between now and release, and you can cancel anytime before they ship.

Any experience with Walmart and E3 preorder? I bought Astral Chain from the, like, impossible that i would receive the package friday right?
I've received stuff from Walmart on Friday release dates before, so no, I wouldn't say it's impossible. Probably depends a lot on where you are and how far the closest distribution center is, though.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses showed up for me on Friday, for example. I'm in downtown Toronto.
I'm an hour outside of Toronto and get my stuff day 1. Only 2/15-20 games came late.
No, they ship from Ontario. I'm in MTL and have gotten stuff day one as well. Walmart has been better with delivery than Amazon in my experience.
Try the US Best Buy website. But I purchased from there using my RBC Virtual Visa Debit card which provides a US address for such occasions. Keep that in mind.
I'm in Vancouver, it always takes a good five days for me to get shit. If a game releases Friday, I usually get it next Wednesday
well honestly they have not dropped one for me latest one for me is FE3
I just moved from the States and I am really feeling that topic subtitle compared to what I had back there. Do y'all have any general suggestions on getting games new at release? I had a Collection of Mana preorder for ~$34 USD down there but had to cancel and ended up paying $50 CAD for it up here today. Wondering if there's a better option I can use for this sort of stuff in the future. Doesn't seem like Amazon.ca lowers the prices before release as much as .com did.
That's just kinda how it is up here. Amazon.ca will discount random stuff before launch sometimes but not nearly as much as .com does.
Then there are e3 preorders. At e3 most Canadian retailers do 20-30% off preorders for a lot of games. You just missed that though.
Dang. On the bright side I was really happy with the game selection at the libraries here. We barely had any back where I used to live.
Do you guys know, why Walmart won't let you update payment information? Or what exactly the process is when they notice that card does not work for whatever reason (they simply won't send the item out?).
My card was damaged so I had to get it replaced:
Amazon: Easy update, all my orders are fine
Bestbuy: Easy update, all my orders are fine
Walmart: Cannot update on site, called and they cannot update, and seem to lack knowledge on what will happen.

Because they're mad dumb.
Maybe you get nothing. Maybe the credit card lets them bill you, because Walmart says so. Maybe you get free games mailed to you and Walmart never notices because the payment and shipping systems aren't linked.
From what I remember there is simply not much they can do due to their old ass ordering system developed probably using FORTRAN. XD
They won't be able to charge your card but will send you the orders anyway. It does happen.
How do they send it to you if they can no longer charge you?
Beats me. It happened to me once. I tried to update my card and they couldn't. Sent the product anyway.
That honestly is so moronic. Hopefully they just contact me, and are like can we get update on your payment information and it can be fixed from there.

Hey look, a retailer that's doesn't have a stupid price or no internet security just put it up.
Shoppers wouldn't happen to be throwing a 20x event this weekend, would they? Planning on picking up a new rev Switch and trying to decide if it's worth hoping stores here have one or I should just go to EB.
I'm so glad I'm a good person. Because whew some companies make shenanigans easy.
