I was wondering if the best way would be to buy the adapter and then pick up the online version of the game, but the adapter itself is as expensive as the game pretty much.

Yeah in the US they're 20 dollars but no one sells them in Canada.
Bestbuy has it too but don´t seem to be sending them out until February :(
What store is reliable for pre-ordering consoles/games in Saskatoon?
I recently moved to Canada, and trying to figure out where should I go with pre-ordering console/games.

get Amazon Prime and you´re set for life? :D
I moved here last October and have had best success with Amazon and EB Games so far.
Do you just mean who will get you stuff on time? It varies quite a bit depending on your location, even people inside the same city can have different experiences.
I would say the most reliable from what I've seen has been EBGames. They'd better be; their deals are also the worst. General consensus is that Amazon is the shittiest one, even with Prime, but some people have the best luck with them.
Depends on province and area. But for Ontario:
Amazon is often best deals but delivery time can vary wildly, from release date to weeks late.
Bestbuy has good deals and delivery time is fairly consistent, but my gripe with them is they won't leave anything in mailbox, I always have to go and pick it up.
EBGames is pretty reliable for shipping times, but deals are scarce and shipping can add up if buying smaller items.
Walmart is somehow pretty good deals and delivery time. But god, their online is wonk. Cancelling and changing information is a nightmare. I would avoid ordering from them if the game is a year+ out unless you are sure.
Thank you.
I am specifically asking in terms of guaranteed item. As I plan to pre-order PS5/SeX whenever pre-orders are up. I was also told about Hi Tech Gametraders, but I don't feel confident to order anything from them.
I live in saskatoon, Saskatchewan. But I guess Amazon and EBGames have standard service throughout the Canada? As for Walmart, here (saskatoon) I find them highly unreliable. They don't even do mid-night launch let alone pre-orders. So, I won't risk ordering PS5/SeX from there.
Oh wait, you mean literally "will I get the item I ordered at all"?
Yeah, I feel like any of EB Games, Best Buy or Amazon would be totally fine for this. Dunno if there are specifics about Saskatoon that would change that, though.
If anyone's interested in the Final Fantasy pixelart book that's coming out soon, it's over half-off on Amazon:
Cross posting this from the Dual Shock 4 Back Button review thread. I was able to pick one up at Walmart today. They were hard to find as they had them on an end cap at the back of an aisle.
They don't have them listed on their website but using the UPC code on StockTrack you are able to check store stock:

I couldnt find this thing anywhere in Langley Today. Pretty disappointed.
thank you so much for sharing this, ended up driving to three different Walmart's because the first two didn't have any
Wait, do the company sites that display inventory on their pages have public APIs as well that people used to build this? lol
Not quite "Public APIs". He's done some clever reverse engineering to figure out how to pull inventory counts from various retailers.
Anyone else finding PC Optimum to be too much work again? I don't ever earn points from regular shopping anymore and they ask me to load, print, or use my SMS for offers now. I'm going to hit $90 in points (I'm like $2 away) and just dump them all the next time a redemption event occurs and then delete my account.
It's annoying that the offers webpage forces me to login everytime now, that's a recent issue. But other than that, nothing is wrong?
This weeks "Points Days" offers are stellar. Like 50% back in points for every $10-$15 spent on various foodstuff I buy, and stacking offers on specific things. My brother basically got 70% back in points buying Frosted Flakes.
Literally why? What does refusing free money get you?
I'd rather have the inevitable PS5 version, and.. free enhancements in a patch on consoles (For a different console at that). I'll believe THAT when I see it. lol
Thanks, chief. Sister goes to Peterborough all the time so a store return isn't an issue, did it with a water cooler once. Just.. hoped to avoid it but it seems Walmart will never get with the times. lol
I just got a random spam email from EasyHome, and checked the site out of curiosity because I remember my parents buying a couch from there back when I was a kid. Did some math and good grief - do people actually go for this stuff? They are selling the Switch for nearly $2,000 between 104 weeks of installments. That's like a $1,500 profit turn. I don't know enough about furniture to compare pricing there, but I can only assume they must have actually good deals sometimes? There's no way someone would rather pay a 250% markup vs. putting a bit aside for a month or two to save up.
No. These companies are scum. They target low income people who view the small payments as affordable. I assume the company understands they may no received the full $2000 for a switch which is why it's still hiked up so high. This way they still ensure a profit even if the debt goes unsettled.
Yeah, it's preying on people who need something now for whatever reason. In Australia there was a controversy because these types of companies directly targeted the Australian equivalent of welfare recipients.
What? Just download the app to your phone. It auto loads coupons from just opening it and will adjust which coupons it gives based on your buying habits. I've found that I get far more points now then I did in the past because of it. Like nearly weekly I'm getting a coupon for 20x or 1,000 points for simply buying milk (and their price is the same or cheaper then everybody else). A while ago I got a few custom coupons given to me in the app that let me get $170 back on buying a Switch Light.
Da'fuk? Why have I never gotten a points offer on milk? I just keep getting butter, and I buy butter like once a year maybe.
But yeah, usually you buy something like blueberries, and then bam, next week you have a points offer for blueberries. The system is built to give out points for buying staple items, which gets you in a store. This is more than enough reason to use the system. Random exploits to get cheap electronics are just gravy on top.

Dualshock 4 back button attachment is in stock:
Best Buy

A back button attachment is so weird, but the fact it exist means that's something already in the PS5 controller I take it and this is their way of filling that gap.
What kind of kicked it off for us is we would go buy Eggs from shoppers because they're $1.88 almost every weekend which lead into us just also grabbing milk while there since the price was on par or better then stores. Which like you said lead to them starting to give me points/coupons for buying common items you buy. The problem is you have to try to not skip on the coupon too often or they will stop giving it to you for a while. =/
It's a shame but you weren't missing out on anything game wasn't gonna shape out from what I saw anyways.
I just received 4 of the back button attachments.....but I only ordered one. I should say something....right?
From amazon. I preordered them as soon as they were announced but they took their sweet time getting here.
You want to go through the hassle of returning them? At the end of the day its Amazon. They wont miss them lol.
Sounds like you got lucky on someone's "f-this I quit day" at the warehouse.
Just sell them at retail price (or below) to some gamers in need.
My buddy ordered 500gb SSD from Amazon when they were like 160. They sent him 1 BOX. He had 10 total and sold em for a huge profits and kept his one.
When it launched, I preordered a Switch and BOTW from Amazon. I ended up cancelling prior to release. Amazon still shipped it to me and never billed me.
It's several years later now and still all good. Keep it. The law actually lets you. If you receive goods that you didn't order, you're entitled to keep them without cost. s.13 of the Consumer Protection Act - https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/02c30#BK14.
Or you can just send me one 👀
Keep it for a bit and then just.. do whatever if nothing comes up in a month or so
