Well, I sarcastically said that I'd get the new Pokémon once it went on sale...
I hope I like it. This will be my first Pokémon game since X/Y.

OKAY! You have to use different emails/accounts to get more than one item. I just ordered Sword and LM3 digital at $62.14 each after tax. Still waiting for the codes.
Codes? As I understood it (and it says so in my email too) what I ordered were digital game cards that I would have to pick up at the store to redeem (or have them shipped to me). Did you find some other option?
On the Pokemon Sword page and others on the website:
"You will receive two emails: One confirming your entire order, and one with a "Download Software" button. You can download immediately or return to your email to download later."
I'm assuming this download button email will arrive right before the store opens. I just bought an external HDD yesterday the exact same way, and I got the shipment email like a half hour before opening.
Online only now. They cleared out all of their retail games back in I think 2015?
Thanks a lot, OP! I just got Tokyo Mirage Sessions, one of the few games I planned buying day one instead of waiting on a sale.
Yes. I never had any problem redeeming US codes on my CA eshop. It shouldnt be problem other way around.
How is CAD$55 US$25? That's US$41
Just checked, there's 5% VAT in Canada. CAD$80 per game is without VAT I presume?
So it's CAD$80*1.05=CAD$84. That's about the same price as in Europe (RRP €59.99/CAD$87.64) or US (US$60+tax/CAD$79.61+tax).....
In Europe the VAT is anywhere between 20%-27%.
1. He's talking about the $25 in savings.
2. Tax fluctuates from province to province. In Ontario it's 13%.
Exactly! Best kept secret NA
For Quebec ERA folks, Pharmaprix is part of that.
1. Gotcha!
2. Just checked. Damn, you're in tough luck if you live in one of the five provinces which did enact the HST. OTOH you live in Ontario, which has the lowest of the five. The other four pay 15%.
Guys, you're all making questions that were already answered... Please check the previous posts.
Yeah, one code per account. If you have other email addresses lying around, use those.
Wii U was able to use US codes as well. My Canadian account accepted US codes just fine back then.
I didn't get Three Houses since I have a good feeling it'll be on sale during the TGA as it's nominated for Best Strategy game, and I believe Nintendo prioritizes nominations in their TGA sales. But yeah, dream on about seeing Smash on sale like, ever. :P
The code is also working with Link's Awakening digital:
Did you use the code 65957 on any order on your account already? It's one per account.
Yep! Says this product wasn't applicable or something to that effect
Yoshi's Crafted World works (just bought it for my wife), so I assume at least a few others should also work.
Is it doable if I'm in Europe? I've got a Spanish and a japanese credit card. I also have a Revolut and N26...
I'm in Brazil and my credit card worked, but you might want to use a fake Canadian address (and if you do, choose a province with fewer taxes, I think Alberta might be a good choice, you'll pay 5%).
What Orakiorob said and also my credit card is portuguese and it worked fine so i guess a spanish one is no problem.
I ordered DQXI last night, and the code still hasn't come in this morning (yes I checked my spam folder). I did receive a confirmation email shortly placing the order, though. I think other people are in the same boat, judging from the Discord.
Worth noting, I got PSN credit from an earlier Staples sale, and that went through very quickly. It seems to be dependent on what digital codes you're getting; seems to vary from game to game, even.

Getting points now is great because you can use them at other lablaws stores. I use up my points when I go grocery shopping. I was able to get back $165 in points (due to stacked deals) when I bought my switch lite. :)
I didn't even get a confirmation email, but it says it's processing on my order history. I'll give it a bit.
Got Linked Awakening's this way about 2 weeks ago -- awesome deal
This is the year where I finally stop subbing to PSN+. I think I've been with it since the beginning. Completely disappointed with the latest games, both quality and quantity. I might miss online saves but in my case it was more peace of mind than an actual feature. I don't play online at all either.
