Best place to buy AC:NL in Canada?

[Bambi]

What do you guys think is the best store to buy the game from??

Should I pre-order?

If I pre-order will I miss out on package deals?

I am in Calgary, AB if that helps any. I know my question might seem stupid but I do not consider myself a "Hardcore Gamer." AC is the only game that I have gotten REALLY into. I have played other video games but never as much. I have never pre-ordered a game before or even wanted it so badly for a release date. I am just scared that I will not be able to find it anywhere when it comes out.

I appreciate the input

I doubt it'll sell out of stock, but pre-ordering does ensure you get a copy if it were to.

You've still got a few months to decide though.

That's true. I just heard that Nintendo in Japan was restricting the amount of copies stores could purchase so I'm not sure if they will be doing that here or not. Although I also don't know the demand for the game in my city....

Not sure where you heard that gamestop overprices newly released games..

They do tend to overprice used and older games though.. but new games sell for exactly the same price as everywhere else.

Thanks Jake, we do have a Walmart here. I'm hoping for a deal along with the 3DS since I don't have one of those yet either

We don't have Gamestop here I don't think. We have an EBgames...

The demand for it in Japan wasn't expected, they even ran out of copies and had to publicly apologize for it. lol


Over here though it's most likely not going to be as popular. Handheld gaming isn't held in as high regard as it is in Japan.

edit:
EB and Gamestop are essentially the same exact thing. lol

Go to Game, they usually have new releases on the date.

I probably wouldn't count on a package deal for AC and I doubt AC will sell out on day 1. I still haven't pre-ordered and I probably wouldn't until a release date is announced.

I'll probably get mine at the local Gamestop. The staff there are pretty nice about putting up with me and my occasional rants about how long the New Leaf release is taking. (let's see how they feel if I lose my cool and flip a table or display) The Harvest Moon releases come with a gift (plushie), so I've always pre-purchased those from Gamestop. Their prices on used games are too high, but at least they stick to the standard prices on the new items. I prefer to buy my games there, because the games staff at the Best Buy around the corner are kind of snarky about anything that is not first-person shooter.

Jake, I'm getting tired of you posting like this. Cut out the idiocy.
