Esc Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 Hey guys, Amazon Canada has them in stock. Here's the good part..they are only $29.95 CND. I am not sure if this is an error, or if we are actually gonna get equal pricing in Canada in Canadian dollars. This is a good deal, however, shipping is not free unless you spend $39.00 or more. I picked up a CD for $10 to cover the cost, since it would probably cost about $10 to ship anyway I consider the CD free. Here's a link for those who can't wait and want to buy online from Amazon Canada. I've included my affliate info in this link, so I get some kickback from Amazon... :-) http://atari.webhop.org 917967[/snapback] From Amazon.ca This item will be released on November 4, 2005. You may order it now and we will ship it to you when it arrives. Amazon didn't even send me any email regarding the delay, or my order. I just cancelled it.

atwwong Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hi, So... I guess none until oct or nov? Frank 932077[/snapback] The longer the wait for us Canadians, the more likely the chance that we'll get a newer revision of the FB2. So the question is whether or not you are patient enough to wait for improvements to a product that is already considered very good in a majority of the reviews by mainstream Atari fans.

If I don't even have the OPTION to go to the store get a FB2 by my birthday I'm just not gonna buy one at all. (I don't have to my kids are gonna buy it for me..lol.. What an empty threat eh?.But I'm still pissed.) Edited October 13, 2005 by silver_surfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, you can always order and cancel it before it ships if they take too long. They don't bill your CC until they ship. I've already cancelled mine, but I may just order again because all the crap checking out stores for stock is a pain. Just relax and let 'em ship it when it arrives! Chances are you'll get it before the stores! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarilovesyou Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 ....these delays are just strange. Did they have to do with the shipping strike in the west coast? In Vancouver, that strike is over and now they're shipping all sorts electronics that have been sitting in warehouses (what I've heard). Could the Flashback be like this? I've also withdrawn my prepaid deposits, after, what, the 4th or 5th delay? I don't really mind, I HAVE an Atari, but I was planning on buying a few as gifts this year for Christmas. This delay, what's the cause? I guess if one is willing to get the sound chip issue one from the States, that could be doable. But what's with all the changes in release dates?...the things are made and shipped! What gives? I was also going to mod them to play carts. At this rate, that ain't gonna happen.

cog Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) Hey there.. I work as a purchaser for a CompuSmart location in Canada, and our supplier is listing they'll receive the Flashback 2.0 on October 31st. I didn't even think to check earlier because I didn't assume we'd be carrying it, and likely most stores won't bring them in as stock, but they'll likely order them for you or you can order online. Price is listing at 39.99, and if you want a little proof (or to order it locally or online), the web-id and order number for it is 738367. If this info changes I'll let you fellow canada-dwellers know ASAP. I've been lurking here for a while, but figured this was a fair enough reason to register and post something.

sidcrowe Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 "Under certain circumstances, a curse can provide more relief than a prayer."–Mark Twain This isn't a Disney website. Kids read it, yeah, but the kids are mostly 30something men. I'd take the advice if I were always swearing, but I don't swear all that much. Besides, the little bastards swear more than I do in everyday life, anyway If anything, I'm angry because I can't have your nifty product, Curt. You should be flattered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF!!?!?! 949068[/snapback] The Canadian Retail price looks like its gonna be $39.95 (CND Funds) so, Amazon's price of $33.95 isn't looking too bad. I'd suggest preordering as stock is probably going to be limited and the price will likely shoot up to $39.99. I'm guessing the original $29.99 price was in error and those who pre-ordered at the price will still be honoured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
