This is cute.
The hate game because someone got sticks at 30% off, nothing more nothing less. And while I'm happy that I Will pay less in the end, this screens has one purpose really, allow people to price match if they feel like it.
It's amusing how talks about getting BB to apply the discount to past orders is fine (for non eligible items too btw) but somehow asking the promotion to be applied by Amazon to this order is "exploitative".
But hey, sharing one's luck was super common here and people would usually be happy for the person (as I'm happy for those who got the discount on their BS or FE preorders) but since it creates this kind of tension, I'll just avoid giving a chance to fellow gaffers to get the same deal.
Sounds fair?
And yes, applying a 45% discount when the promotion is 20 is incompetence, how else would you call that?

That's useless since you can try to "price-match" by editing the html and put any items at any price anyway.
But it seems like some folks got lucky doing it...
Non-shipping question (I'll complain about my shipment being late tomorrow). Anyone have a good suggestion for an alarm clock radio that also has usb outlets? Preferably something like this but with two outlets.
edit Though this with usb outlets would be amazing.

Yeah. I just lost one I had. Cancelled. It came up. I had in my cart. Then best buys site didn't like my postal code. The one I've only been using to order from there for the past 10 years.
Ah well.
^ fuuuuck
do I grow balls and risk it all or what lol. if you and Renewed got it to work, odds are good
manI did it!!! Bless whomever suggested canceling and re-ordering. It only took about a couple minutes after I canceled for it to show up in stock again.

I had it. Was there. But that freakin' glitch that happened that one time when they released one of their exclusive amiibos popped up again. Best buy's site is aweful.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.

after spending 40 minutes on the phone, I was able to get best buy to manually apply the 20% discount to both my individual pre-orders of Fire Emblem Fates SE as well as Bravely Second SE. I guess it helped that I had two titles which needed the discount and not just one.
And just in case, both of them are listed as being part of the promo, even though CE's are not supposed to be part of the sale for some weird reason that I won't complain about.

For any fellow SF noobs out there, this HORI mini fight stick is a good option at $50. http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B014KXMEW4/ Currently OOS but ships when it's back in stock.
Sure, it has a square gate and doesn't have SANWA components, but you probably don't need them (yet) if you're a noob.
This dude did a good review of it.

A lot of Canadian Microsoft stores are stocking Steam cards in USD currency (you pay in CAD though). You can make a serious profit. It's been going on for about a week.
It will look like this if it redeems in USD. Physical locations only.

Gurrrrl you old so oooooooold.
Still a good deal though
I turned $200 into $280. That's a free game.

My bad lol. Seems like it's worth a re-post though, too good of a deal. I don't have any MS stores near me

I tried pre-ordering Pokken and Star Fox on amazon for the 20% discount but I guess it doesn't cover those games?

Amazon's deal is really fucked.

I tried best buy first but it says my credit card is expiring, even though its good til 05/16.

We have broken Amazon's spirit. They no longer have any fucks to give.

My Fire Emblem SE has shipped from Amazon. Soon I shall have the SE in my hands.

probably because of the place holder dates
someone else correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't someone say in here that they just changed the expiry date to something else and it worked?
KingdomHeartsFan
Member
Ya I think that was the problem, which I think is kinda dumb. I had Star Fox, Pokken, Twilight Princess, and SMT x FE, I tried pre-ordering without SMT and now it worked since the 3 other games release before the expire date. I guess I can't get the bonus on SMT :/.

Ha! Was that the code they sent me? Yes on both counts. Never received it at first. Got a code that didn't work. Then got the code afterwards.

Got Zelda Code 2 Thanks! Btw I think Zelda Code 3 has too many characters.
Used this one. Thanks!
Thanks took Zelda 3, it had a letter too many, but I figured it out.
