Anyone having issues on Bestbuy with getting Night of Azure (PS4) to get the 20% off? It says it has the deal but it isn't working.. guess I'll just wait a bit
Edit: It works if you have 2 copies of the same game in, but not one. hahah

Including Nights of Azure, do you have an odd number of games in your order? Apparently the BB deal only applies in pairs, i.e. if you have three games, the 20% off only applies to one pair.

Wow. It was $59.99 this morning. A few gaf members (myself included) was able to contact Sony and get a $10 credit back. It must have truly been a pricing error and they fixed it up quite quick.
I love Amazon. I tried cancelling KH2.8 that was part of a previous x% off deal that had already shipped the other game. The website gives me a notification that I can't because the second game already shipped and that I should contact a CSR. I grab my phone and cancel KH2.8 without a problem on their app. :lol

F.Y.I.
Both my fightsticks have shipped from Amazon.

I double dipped for Chun Li. Well that sounds naughty.
I recommend using Memory Express or NCIX to price match everything then having them build it for $50 if you don't wanna spend the time to do it yourself.

I need some advice CanadaGAF. I don't know if I should purchase the Fallout 4 season pass or not. It's $40 right now, so theoretically it will increase to at least $65 on March 1. I like Fallout 4, but I haven't felt compelled to play it recently. Plus I've only played it for 44 hours. Is there enough content in the game to last me a while longer, or should I splurge and pick up the pass before the price increases?
Am I really going to tempt fate and reorder Bravely Second? GAWD its tempting.

Just cancelled an order for Nintendo 3DS Pokemon 20th Anniversary Edition on ebgames. Not sure how long it'll take to go back into stock but if anyone wants to start f5ing.

I called Best Buy and had no problem having a 20% discount applied to my Fire Emblem and Bravely Second special edition pre-orders.

Thanks for the info. Sent them an e-mail, but now I'm sure they'll manage to somehow cancel my order instead of applying the discount.

CSR seems to be a YMMV case. I remember the last time I called, it was to have a 30% off deal applied to my XenobladeX SE (which I ended up returning anyways) and they said it was an exception. Don't go doing what I did there with reordering too. It's a gamble for sure and for the brave.
Thanks, I'll probably go to memory express then. I can probably put it together myself, but rather pay 50 incase I do mess it up.
Jesus Christ. I wish I had time to do this but itst unlikely that I could call by the time it's out.
They aren't supposed to do that though. You got lucky.

I think you also get a year's warranty, which can be good if something breaks down.
They do pretty good cable management as well.

Oh that game's been tempting me. Suppose to be really good. But I'll hold off until it drops some more.

Called amazon asking if I could add the 20% discount on pre-orders I already made, they said no :/.
That sucks. I was able to get a discount on my orders of FE SE and Twilight Princess.

Strongly considering cancelling my $60 minus 30% Street Fighter V preorder from Amazon while I still can and using a $20 BB certificate in the morning. This 10 day delay is kinda nuts.
Just buy a copy from best buy then return the amazon copy there
Yeah, I contacted them earlier about games that are for pre-order but not on the list (Lego Star Wars and Valkyria Chronicles), and they said if it wasn't on the list, it didn't count toward the promotion. They seem stingy on this deal this time.

So Amazon are sending the pre-order code for SFV after they charge you? Meaning no DLC code for days if they delay shipping? Would really like to trade my Bison for a Cammy while people have not redeemed their codes... :/
Have they explained the reason behind the 10 days delay? Seems quite a while to get stock.

At Zellers some 12 years ago, Railroad Tycoon for one cent.
Game was super old at that point, don't get me wrong, but amazing deal for the price.

Question does any one know re: the koodo $48 5gb sask/man plan, can you sign up for this on the tab?
My friend wants to do the 5s $15 a month tab. So can he follow the steps, which would add $15 to his plan making it $63 a month, then in 24 months the $15 will come off and he will only pay the $48?

Oh wow, just saw the new date for my Street Fighter from Amazon. Monday, February 29. A two week delay, even with Amazon Prime?

Grabbed the second Zelda. Thanks!
That's not right. You should complain. I'm a prime member and I received my copy today.
Still fighting for my fightsticks though.
That doesn't sound right, talk to a CSR. I got mine yesterday
Got the first Zelda. Thanks!

Interesting. I tried to combine two Amazon orders and two CSR's told me it's absolutely not possible anymore. Apparently as of Jan. 2016 it changed. Weren't people combining orders to get discounts to stack? Bet this change is in response to that.
Got the second SMB code thanks!

They aren't supposed to add it to existing orders or special editions?

I was planning on it, but I feel they are just going to give me a $5 credit like usual.

Haha I've had success getting things by asking multiple CSR's in the past too. But I actually really do think they have changed a policy in this case to prevent what people were doing to exploit the discounts. I challenge anyone to successfully combine two orders
