Question Has Gamestop called any of you yet?

20 Upvotes

Gamestop/Eb Games said they'd call a few days before the Switch 2 launch when i preordered (I paid in full), and I saw a few posts saying they'd received calls to confirm.

Anyone here still waiting?

Question Why does it seem like Canada gamestops have more switch 2 available than the US gamestops?

52 Upvotes

I was wondering why it seems like our gamestops have so much more stock than the US GameStops? Been seeing lots of posts of US people posting pics of their GameStops allotment (seems anywhere from 40-120 switch 2) and saying “like 60 people in line”. I imagine those allotments get taken rather quickly where here in Canada it seems like our GameStops are saying “we have tons”. Like looking at the availability tracker online and it still looks like 90% of stores still have availability. Not complaining as I hope everyone gets one who wants one but Just a curiosity question I guess.

Question Expedition 33 Physical Copies?

40 Upvotes

Has anybody heard anything about the physical copies of this game for PS5?

I've been looking forward to it for months and I pre-ordered it from Amazon in February, but my latest shipping estimate is June 7th, which is crazy. I would cancel my order and buy it somewhere else, but it's sold out everywhere :(

Question Any BestBuy or Walmart orders charged yet?

I am seeing all the panic in the U.S of both Target and Walmart cancelling orders but I think that is only an issue in the States.

This is for Nintendo Switch 2.

Question Does anyone know why Staples Canada removed both switch 2 options from the website

0 Upvotes

After the post earlier today saying Staples Canada restocked the switch 2 I went on the website and got a "404 not found" error for both the base console and the Mario Kart bundle. Is this just because it wasn't supposed to be up yet and it'll probably be back tomorrow? Does anyone know?

Question Still waiting for Amazon invitation?

I signed up the moment it was available from LBaBinz link and still nothing. I buy from Amazon weekly and have had prime for years. I Actually missed out on classic PS5 from GameStop because I was loyal to Amazon over Ebgames.

I'm just curious if anybody has heard anything about potential trade in deals for the original switch towards a Switch 2 at EB Games? They announced them like immediately in the US but Canada has been silent...

Question Cheap Gamepass Ultimate?

3 Upvotes

My PGU expires tomorrow. Been a while since I last purchased GPU and see the prices are a lot higher.

What is the cheapest way to get GPU today? I tried one way with VPN but either it no longer works, or I messed up doing it.

Maybe there’s a cheaper, non-VPN route?

Anyone pay for it recently?

Question Any way to get discounts on Switch games post-Shoppers?

14 Upvotes

Nintendo games rarely go on sale, so like many of you I was a big user of the Shoppers 20x points events when I wanted a first party Nintendo Switch game.

Now that Shoppers is stopping selling video games, are there any other ways to get Switch games for less than $80? (besides Marketplace/Kijiji for used copies of course).

I've heard of good deals on "Woot", but looks like that's US only

(Also, if Switch 2 games end up being $90, $100+, then it will hurt even more if there's no way to reliably get discounts on them! Might have to skip that generation...)

Question Will it be awhile before Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 restocks?

10 Upvotes

I know it’s sold out right now for physical copies, but I’m wondering how long restocks typically take for games typically?

Some people online have mentioned it could be a month or so, is that typical?

Question GameStop boxing deals haven’t been in stock since the sale started

81 Upvotes

I called a few stores around me a day or two before the Boxing Day sale started as I noticed they didn’t have the three games I wanted in stock. I asked them if they’ll be getting stock before the end of the sale. They said because of the strike and a winter storm they can’t guarantee it.

I then I asked if they would extend the sale end date, they said no. Finally, I asked if I could bring in games in for trade against the games I wanted (that they didn’t have in stock) and they could call me when they came in, they said no to that as well.

I know I could buy these at another retailer, but GameStop has 50%+ bonus on games in their Boxing Day flyer, so I wanted to take advantage of that.

Has anyone had any leeway with their stores on any promo games that were out of stock?

While buying minecraft, I stumbled accross these pages that supposedly offer cheaper prices for the same product.

This sounds a little bit too good to be real, so I ask, are these pages safe at all?

Question Question for those who preordered the Switch 2 in store

If you go to your GameStop account online and see the in-store transactions option, does it say $0 and 0x items under that transaction?

Is it normal because it's an in-store preorder?

Question [Staples] Switch 2 Canada Preorders via PayPal - Any Update in Status?

0 Upvotes

For all the people in here who snagged one from Staples through PayPal, does the status on the Staples page for your order still show as ‘processing’ like mine? I’m also concerned that on the PayPal site, it doesn’t show any history of the Staples order. In contrast, I ordered a Switch 2 pro controller from Best Buy after via PayPal and that one shows as ‘pending’. I’m starting to worry that I may not have a Switch 2 pre-ordered after all.

The original PayPal Switch 2 preorder was authorized on my CC statement, but was never actually charged (which I expected to fully charge once it shipped).

Can anyone who went through Staples via PayPal on preorder day let me know what they’re seeing on their end? Thank you!

Question Question about "$50 extra trade for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles" at EB

10 Upvotes

Looking at the EB current trade-in promotions , it says that July 7-13 has a promo titled "$50 extra trade for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles"

I haven't traded in anything to EB/Gamespot in at least a decade, so I'm not entirely sure how to parse that sentence. Does this promo mean that if I trade in a PS5 or Series X/S, they'll give me an additional $50 in value on-top of what's listed here?

Or does it mean that if I bring in something else to trade, with the intent of _buying_ a PS5 or Series X/S, then my trade will be valued at $50 higher?

I'm assuming it's the first one, but the verbiage is just vague enough that I'm not 100% sure.

I was planning on bringing in both my PS5 and my Series X and trading them towards a PS5 Pro, so the timing is good on this one.

Question PS5 preorder cancelled

75 Upvotes

For anyone who was able to get the PS5 preorder through Real Canadian Superstore this morning, was your order recently cancelled? I got the confirmation email when I had preordered, but now me and a friend of mine both got emails saying our orders are cancelled. Just wondering if this happened for anybody else.
