Play 7 first. Then play the one that's actually good, 9. This way you won't be disappointed by going from a great game to a mediocre one.

Seven has historical merit, some good minigames, and some well-written parts.

Nine has a really strong opening and a neat aesthetic.

Both have aged terribly.

That's greeaaat, thanks!

Tales of the Abyss is coming out tomorrow, but I want to buy it right away. I have it preordered at EB Games and Amazon.ca as a backup, and now the order says shipping soon, but I've confirmed TotA is already at a store where I can easily pick it up tomorrow as soon as they open.

Since it's shipping soon Amazon won't let me cancel the order, could I just play the copy I buy at EB Games but return my Amazon copy to EB? Or is that considered ethically wrong (of course the Amazon copy will stay sealed and be in new condition).

I don't see anything wrong with that. I returned FFXIII-2 collectors edition to EB that was shipped from FS. EB will ask for photo id when you do a return, just in case the TotA turns out to be a block of clay or something. There is a chance that your amazon package might arrive before your EB opens.

Ok thanks, so I'll go ahead then. I find that with my Amazon orders, I've been receiving them much later in the afternoon, sometimes even close to 6pm. I'd rather just pick up Abyss on the way to school since I doubt it'll arrive before 10am anyway.

Never mind solved it myself.

I'm looking for an Uncharted 3 limited edition but not looking to pay the 99 price tag.
I found one at a local Source but it was beat up pretty bad and also still at the 99 price point.
Anyone have any leads?
(I'm in Calgary)

Bump

Can you select ISPU when making a pre-order at BB.ca? I don't see that option available to me when filling out the pre-order. Online shipments always get to me 2-3 days after release date...

Secondly, is BB's 800 RZ points ($10) the best deal out there on SSX (PS3) without having to trade? Don't think any of the games I have would work for T2+$10 at EB Games.

Thanks.

Edit: Figured I'd put this here since it'd get seen. Also have a 25% off coupon code for your next Origin purchase. If you use Origin, just let me know and I'll PM you the code. Expires March 22-23ish.

No the $5 off on a preorder works only for online orders, no ISPU is available unfortunately.
I just ordered Syndicate on the weekend to get the $5 off, and it got to me two days after release. Slow shipping is the price we pay for getting it for $5 less

Thanks for the confirmation. Yeah, SSX is one of the games that gets the 800 RZ points. Guess I'll pre-order online to get the deal and maybe pick up a copy in-store and return the online store copy later.

Hrm, here's a question I can't seem to get straight answer on:

Can we buy direct download content from Amazon in Canada? Has anyone managed it? I seem to remember having to have an American address attached not just to your Amazon account but to your credit card as well?

It's kind of ridiculous, really, seeing that every other PCDD retailer treats NA as one region. But then what do I know about the intricacies of selling digital content across borders?

Is it just me or is ebgames.ca really really bad?

I put the wrong expiry date on my CC and I can't even edit it. I changed it in my account but I cannot update it FOR the order.

Hey, are any of you folks still doing the Live Rewards thing? There was a promotion in January that was supposed to net 800 points for a 12-month Live renewal, which I did, but I can't find any mention of it in my Rewards statement. Are long delays on processing these deals standard?

Anyone know where I can get a new wired 360 controller for $30? Best I can find is on Newegg.ca for $40 with free shipping. Seems like all the deals are for the wireless one, I want wired for playing PC games. The US gets such good prices, Amazon.com has them for $30 but I won't be making a trip to the states any time soon.

Does anyone know what happens if you purchase something with Rewardzone coupons and then return it for a refund?

This is probably a knock-off, but it's only $20 and has free shipping:

I have purchased from that site in the past with no problems.

I think I remember reading somewhere here (in this thread, maybe?) that they'd put the refund back on a gift card or something like that. Never tried it myself, so I'm not sure if that's actually the case.

I've purchased there too, but the only reason I want a 360 pad is 100% guaranteed official compatibility with games so a knock off is not an option. I'm currently using a dualshock 3 with some emulation software and it works perfectly about 99% of the time but I'm thinking of just getting the official controller instead.
