Best Buy seriously undercutting the rest by $30 on the PS4?

Is everything shipped in boxes or bubble mailers?

My SE was in a bubble mailer (from Amazon). Fortunately no damage at all.

Well, zero luck with the SE on my end lol. Nothing came up for any of the sites I checked. =(
My regular copy hasn't shipped either so that sucks too.

I won't get my copy until next week but that's the norm.
Only, apparently the copy I thought I wasn't going to get I'm going to get as well so I'll end up with two copies, not sure what I'll do. Keep one, the other...don't know. If I decide to sell it though I'll put it up here first so a fellow Canadian GAFFER can have a chance, but that's depending on what I do. Won't guarantee to anyone. It'd be luck of the draw.

What extra copy do you have? FE?
No. That's just old pricing because I forgot to change it. It was way too early in the morning when I activated that item.
Like everyone I was trying to find anywhere to get a copy of the SE, over the summer I lucked in on amazon.com just in time. But when Best Buy had the option a week ago or so I managed to nab one then. I thought I cancelled the amazon.com but apparently it didn't take for whatever reason, only realized it today when I thought upon how I didn't get any email confirmation. So I looked, saw it was shipping soon, tried to cancel again and got an email this time saying it was too late to do so hence a second copy.
Asked my manager if I could leave work for like 30 minutes this morning to check at my local Toys r us lol .
The clerk told me they did not get any collector edition for FE:Fates .
Oh well I officially give up .
At least Amazon shipped Birthright and Conquest this morning, should be able to play it by Tuesday .

99 buck listing from amazon at the top, still there as of...right meow.
Whether they actually have it or not, or whether it gets cancelled is another thing lol. I ordered one though!

Yaaaas! Thanks so much for posting! The order entered "preparing for shipment" within a few minutes. I originally ordered the BestBuy eBay copy for my brother(which hasn't been cancelled) so hopefully we can both enjoy the Special-ing.

So I managed to get an order and it says it's coming on the 26th
But I have birthright coming in today. Should I cancel birthright? But then if i cancel it what if amazon cancels the se order. I really want to play it today...ah crap this is some Russian Roulette shit

I think someone accidentally bought the $345 one that was popping up because it's gone.
Hold on to the sealed Birthright until SE ships.
Edit: Or do what Storm says.

I mean worst case you Craigslist Birthright. People will appreciate th discount and it should go fast.

*Keeps trying to get Amazon.ca to understand that Fire Emblem should actually ship this year*
What's your expected shipping date and did you bundle it with a another preorder?
I wouldn't mess with this as it changes your position in the queue and since it's a limited release item you might get screwed over.

Go to your order page, go to change the shipping speed, select the same option.
Source?
So weird, normally ebgames.ca is the best for these sorts of things and the one I trust most not to have issues.
Yeah, I haven't had an issue with them in the past either. Maybe it's a shipment issue?
Either way, I hope something happens this evening. I'm plays with waiting a day or two for it, I'm just worried the pre-order won't be fulfilled at all.
Has anyone had their pre-order from them ship yet?

One person shows gratitude and it's the guy with two copies? I thought we Canadians were supposed to be a polite bunch. Also your brotherly duty was to give him a cheap copy of birthright and tell him to deal with it lol.
Is "preparing for shipment" pretty much a guarantee as far as Amazon orders are concerned? If so I'll consider cancelling my cheap Birthright.
Like all the scumbags who are trying to exploit Amazon CSRs, you should keep trying. Hammer Best Buy's site as well, this is probably the day where they put up the extras.
Thanks, I'll keep trying. How exactly are people exploiting the Amazon CSRs, though? They either have stock or they don't.

It was more a joke about the discount exploits and how it parallels with trying to order limited edition stuff from the site itself.
Someone's F5 game on Bestbuy.ca is next level though, those 12 copies went suuuper quick.

Been refreshing amazon, best buy, and eb continuously all day and somehow I've managed to miss the 2 times it was in stock. I guess I'm just not meant to have this game.

My order got canceled...FUCKING SHIT FUCK GODDAMMIT
Oh well, it was too good to be true. Best of luck to anybody else who got in

I was one of the lucky people who got one. I'm trying again to get a copy for my friend, and he is also trying. This struggle to get it is ridiculous.
From which retailer, and was your card charged before they cancelled? Now I am kind of nervous, haha.

i wish nintendo would just manufacture enough fucking copies to meet demand in the first place
