I ordered Valkyria Chronicles from Amazon for $49.99 a few days back and it hasn't arrived yet, but I checked online and Best Buy has them at $39.99...not a sale either, it's their retail price. At the time I ordered at Amazon, Best Buy had it at $64.99.

I seriously wanna slam my head onto my keyboard right now. Is there any way to cancel the order?

As long as it hasn't shipped then you can cancel your order. If it has, then you're out of luck.

No clue if you can cancel, but you can send it back for a full refund if you don't open it.

You can't cancel it if you got the confirmation email that it shipped, but you can always send it back for a full refund if you do get it at Best Buy.

Email amazon and tell them it is cheaper by 10 dollars at best buy, send them a link and i bet they give you the difference. But you can cancel it if is hasn't shipped.

They even gave me a refund when I accedentally chose the shipping that wasn't free instead of the free one, and this was after they shipped it to me.

Pretty much this. If it isn't shipped, get in contact with them ASAP.

Chances are, you aren't going to be able to cancel. Just do as others have said, don't open it, send it back, and get a refund.

it also depends on if the game was bought from amazon.com itself or one of their 3rd party sellers.

I just did a search for Valkyria Chronicles on amazon and it was a 3rd party seller selling it.

Who cares? It's ten bucks. It's done and gone, just let it go.

So instead of sending it back to them, can I call or email and bargain for a pricematch?

I did buy it off Amazon themselves, not a third party.

They did charge me tax. And its more like 10 bucks, not a couple. The majority of you here appreciate cheaper game prices (excpept when you buy them at Gamestop), and yet make fun of me for wanting to save some money? Gimme an effing break.

But I guess I'll return it if Best Buy still has them in stock.

I would try. They say that don't price match, but I bet they would if you call them or email customer support and tell them you are going to send it back becuase you found it for cheaper somewhere else.

You can cancel if it hasn't shipped like others have said. If it has already shipped then you only save a couple of bucks like Hanabie said. You have to pay taxes when you buy from Best Buy unlike Amazon (unless you live in New York, apparently) and you will spend at least $4 or $5 on shipping costs when you return the game to Amazon.

Well I live in Canada (this is Amazon.ca not .com) so tax regulations may be different. I checked my confirmation email and it did indeed include taxes.

I'm pretty sure you don't have to pay return shipping if you use their label, but I could be mistaken.

Fair enough... In that case I don't know how the cost of shipping it back would be either... So yeah, cancel the order if it has not shipped yet and then buy it at Best Buy

That could be true, also. I have only returned one thing through Amazon and I was dealing with a third party so I had to pay to ship it back.

If you've already paid for it i doubt it. Its like buying something in a store then walking past another store and seeing it cheaper then going back and asking them for the difference. They'll tell you no, although you might be able to return the product.
