Re: SNES Classic
Well, let me know if you have two buddies and one of them might be able to get one for me, too. I'm not taking any chances.Kreegs wrote: ↑23 Aug 2017 03:24I might be able to have one of my co-workers at the MOA wait at one of the two gamestops in there.

Re: SNES Classic
Apparently you can't buy the SNES classic anywhere in Quebec or have it shipped there from an online because it does not meet the French language requirements of the province.

Re: SNES Classic
So one person purchasing it in-store can't later ship it from their residence to a friend in Quebec? If that in itself can't be done there would be a war.
Quebec should be named a country, not a province... we wouldn't be treated like shit in digital distribution areas if that happened.

Wouldn't that be something, if the SNES Classic is the straw that breaks the camels back in terms of Quebec becoming an independent nation.kitroplious wrote: ↑23 Aug 2017 16:42So one person purchasing it in-store can't later ship it from their residence to a friend in Quebec?

Re: SNES Classic
I bet that will be it. I can see the headlines now. Have you Canucks heard anything about this up there in the news?
@Kit - I am assuming if Shoe bought one at Walmart in Manitoba and then sent it by personal mail to his best friend in Quebec City, that would be fine. But if he bought it on Walmart.com and tried to directly ship it to his friend, it wouldn't work.
And poor Jean Paul in Montreal just has to hope that some nice people in the Yukon get a big shipment and want to kindly send some his way via FedEx.

Poor Jean Paul, he never saw it coming.

Re: SNES Classic
To be fair, no one anywhere will see these coming.

Re: SNES Classic
These will be in stores this coming Friday. Good luck to everyone who's going to try to somehow lay hands on them.
