They charge you as things ship, and if you need to return something, they automatically send the refund to your PayPal account.

Yes but half the games are not shipping to Quebec -.-
I hope Pokken Tournament and Valkyria Chronicles are not part of those games.
30% off on a 59.99$ Street Fighter V during Amazon's E3 promotion...
I was supposed to see Deadpool but the bus never showed up! The roads are a wreck in the west end.
It's either between those Best Buy clearance deals a few months back (where I got Project Mirai DX first print for $22 and Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold first print wasn't charged somehow) and XenobladeX for $15 thanks to amazon.
I'm in the east end and I need to get to the west end. You have now broken my spirit lol.
Ya XCX was mine too. Or legacy of the void collectors edition day 1 I got 50 percent off on Amazon.

It's getting absolutely ridiculous. Has anyone contacted them about it? Do they know we're giving our business to Amazon instead because of this? Do they care? (probably not)

Good stuff. I have both mine saying that they'll ship today.
My CE of SFV on the other hand seems to have been lumped up with Far Cry Primal and I've already spoken to cs this morning to have the two separated. Guess I'll have to give it another try later.

Sorry! :/
How can I see if an item I want can be shipped to Quebec on BestBuy website?
EDIT: I just found out. It's before I checkout... :/ (Why always Quebec?)

It says English at the end of the title? No go. Alternatively, if you are logged in and you have a Quebec address registered, the "Add to cart" button will be greyed out.

There was a fairly brief moment when a few CEs were added to the list. I actually got Grand Kingdom and Senran Kagura both discounted due to that. I didn't notice them disappear until after the CSR made the change, which also caused me to miss out on Nights of Azure. At least I grabbed it on Bestbuy...
BestBuy or Amazon? Btw, is it available on Amazon?
BestBuy, it's part of the Pre-order 2, get 20% off but it wasn't working this morning. Don't think it's up on Amazon yet.
I know they have it on Amazon.com but not on .ca

TMNT is $40-50 in the US, just like Transformers was, but it's full-on $80 here?! God daaaaamn...
CAD current value my dear Tina...
Jeez! Just noticed that on my TMNT (PS4). I didn't checkout yet... thanks!!
I got 2 games for free last year due to some weird fuck ups.

But 50 USD is 69 CAD! I suppose they'll adjust the price as we get closer to release, but then Best Buy will refuse to apply the 20% on top of the difference.

I'm thinking of cancelling my SFV preorder with Amazon and just buying directly off PSN for $5 more. It'll always be there digitally and I won't have to put up with Amazons pathetic shipping system.
How the hell is the game sold out when I preordered almost a year ago? Supply and demand, how does it work?

Phew, I was lucky enough to get a request and alteration in.
I feel like doing the exact same thing.. Plus going digital has changed my gaming experience, especially when I use Remote Play very often.
It's $50 on PSN?

any PS Plus 1 year discounts anywhere?
Oh that explains it. Thanks for the heads up, went and remade the Bravely Second CE and Pokken order and now the discount worked on Bravely Second. That's so silly...
I was originally tempted to get TMNT (PS4), the new Legend of Zelda (Wii U, especially at 69.99) and Pokken Tournament...
Well... it's not a huge discount, but on Amazon (and Costco I think) they are about 47$.
What was your original order?

My original order was Twilight Princess (dunno why I'd want it, I own it on Wii. Would ask my brother if he's interested then I could ask CS to cancel it), Pokken Tournament (not a fan of that price point tbh, 20% off makes it almost bearable), and Bravely Second CE. The discount didn't apply to BS:CE at first so I thought it meant they actually made it so CEs wouldn't get discounts.
Thanks for the info! Just placed an order for VC and 7th Dragon.

Costco @ 46$ in store if you have access to that iirc.
Costco.ca has it for 46.99$
Are you cancelling an order with the Bravely Second CE which is sold out and rebuying when there is 1 copy (yours) available?
That seems like a good way to lose the CE order :\

You are crazy! Am I doing this?
Thanks!
Yeah... just realized that it's $69.99 here. Dunno why I thought it was $59.99. Can't believe that I can't get my copy shipped when I pre-ordered so long ago. This isn't the first time I've had shipping problems with Amazon Canada, too; makes me want to avoid dealing with them for this stuff.
So now I either wait or cancel it and pay $70 for SFV. Ugh.
There was a pricing error this morning and it was for $59.99 CAD then on PSN.
Dammit.

I fucked up the calculation. Its $47.50 after 13% tax so a $12.50 difference. Still not that bad.
Edit: nvm looks like PSN price got jacked back up to $70
I'd do this to get a discount for my BS CE, but I'm scared someone will take my copy when I'm in the middle of canceling and reordering

Got the Epic Mickey Collector's edition and Flingsmash(with Wii remote) for $5.

After I cancelled, it took me over 5 minutes to see the copy show up (I was F5ing for anxiety). It wasn't until I went through the process and got my confirmation email that I got a cancellation email for the old order.
Worked at Blockbuster leading up to its death and in (I wanna say) 2007, or at least a couple years after the 360 had been out, I found an Xbox bundle with Project Gotham buried in the back room, unopened. Checked the price in the system: $5.
Bought that shit right up and a bunch of $2-$5 Xbox games from EB I'd figure I'd get to someday. Still haven't opened it. Figuring I should or at least look into if I have a safe model when I hear about the weird battery thing that is going on with some of them.
