So I could actually reserve a copy and pick-it up with the trade in?

 

[Damaniel]

(Xbox 360, PS3 WiiU versions only, excludes next generation consoles - PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Regular $59.99 versions only)

WiiU isn't next gen, confirmed!

Spoiler

/s

(Seriously, Canada, I'm jealous. This is a hell of a deal.)

 

[Junior Mint]

Haven't received my email confirmation for pick-up yet :s

I have a feeling they're going to decline any reservations.

 

[explodet]

I might just walk in on later days and grab some AC4/Ghosts WiiU copies, less likely they'll be sold out of those

well holy shitballs. there it is in writing!

Here's how it works:
Trade ANY one game on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, WiiU, PS Vita or Nintendo 3DS and get a FREE copy of Assassin's Creed IV, Battlefield 4 or Call of Duty: Ghosts (Xbox 360, PS3 WiiU versions only, excludes next generation consoles - PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Regular $59.99 versions only).
That's right, bring-in any game title on the console or handheld console and you get three of the holiday's hottest titles for free. Limit one more customer, per title - games must include cases - and no duplicates accepted.

 

[Quick]

BF4 and COD reserved at my nearest BB and FS.

Might have to swing by EB to pick up something cheap to trade in.

 

[LkPr]

Conformation e-mails for all 3 of my in-store reservations. STOKED! I hope my reserved stock doesn't "disappear" tomorrow before I get a chance to pickup

 

[Goodacre0081]

reserved AC4 in Abbotsford and CoD in Coquitlam. hope this works out.

 

[RedRooster]

This works out nice, I just found a couple junky games behind my tv that I forgot to trade in for credit last time. And they confirmed my BF4 reservation in Saskatoon. Everything is coming up rooster!

 

[TheExodu5]

Any word on if this works for the PC version?

 

[calder]

i wasn't that suprised when it read richmondhill/vaughn didnt participate, because they dont do trade ins at all...

what makes you think they'll do this specific trade in if they didnt do trade ins at all? :S it sucks... but blame da laws

Winnipeg has, or had until very recently, some weird bylaw about pawn shops that impacted EB and other stores that accepting trade ins. So not a big surprise that the three Winnipeg Futureshops don't take tradeins at all.

Still, would have been nice to get Battlefield4 on PS4 for the $10 upgrade cost. Really, really nice, considering it looks like Target here isn't going to be doing the buy-2-get-1 offer on next gen titles (or not doing it in time).

I'm curious about this as well.

 

[ahdurian]

from everyone I've only heard of FS doing the deal
is BB doing this also?
There's a BB and FS right across from each other in Downtown Toronto so I could hit up both at the same time for BF and COD

Too late FS downtown Toronto is sold out.

Future Shop you can order online for IN STORE PICKUP and they will reserve the game for 24 hours.

RedFlagDeals (our version of CAG) knows about the deal and almost every store in Toronto has been cleaned out via Online reservations. I'm going to have to go out to Scarborough to get this, there were literally 2 locations in the entire city left with any stock.

 

[zroid]

jesus, I cannot believe this is legit... madness

I remained skeptical up until the point I read FS's blog post

 

[Quick]

Got confirmed for COD at Best Buy (got a phone call, too). Waiting on BF4 from Future Shop.

I asked the Best Buy employee if the hold is exactly 24 hours, and he said, "Yeah, but we don't check our holds until the end of the day, so it'll probably be here until the store closes."

lol

 

[spacemonkeynation]

There has to be some sort of restriction.
Otherwise how is this profitable for them? Is everyone in Canada smoking crack?

oh well I already had COD reserved at FS, but since it's one store/copy/customer, I didn't know if BB was doing the same.

 

[TimeEffect]

My FS has no idea what Im talking about.

I don't understand how this works :/

I trade in ANY?? current gen game, and get the current gen (or next gen?) version of COD, AC, or BF?

so far it seems like ANY game, and get current gen AC, COD or BF

sounds like it. im probably going to trade NHL07 and 09

 

[Nymphae]

Yeah, but you can upgrade for $10, no?

Sorry if this has been asked, how does this upgrading work? Is it for a digital version of the games? I'd like to get one of these games and upgrade to the next gen version, but only if I can get a physical copy.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Theres two q's here
1) can u reserve in store and successfully pick it up

2) can u use current gen game and upgrade to next gen considering on the receipt it will say traded in

FS and BB are cool like that from time to time.

 

[FairXchange]

So the next important question is can we trade 3 games for AC, BF4 and COD? Or is it one game per customer.

One per customer per store per day

I missed the walmart thing in america and this is only in canada!

Is there like a flyer or anything I can use? I dont think they believe me or know what's going on.

 

[L00P]

I would bite but it seems like the games are for the consoles only and not for PC, or am I wrong?

 

[ahdurian]

not that i've seen. only been announced in the financial post and through the FS gaming twitter.
apparently stores are being notified

 

[flkraven]

Reserved all 3 at various Futureshops. Here's hoping I can snag a $10 upgrade somewhere for XB1

 

[Ashadur]

Why the hell would they do this? Also why the hell did Best Buy have to close up shop here in the UK, i would've totally given some of my old shit for these games.

 

[ElNino]

I love these FS deals! Got my reserves for BF4 and Ghosts at two different stores and I'll pick them up tomorrow afternoon; I better not get screwed by the RFD hoarders.

Open up that FS link on your phone, and they can verify it.

Got my confirmation for BF4. So that's both COD and BF4 held at each store for me.

As long as your reservation's been confirmed, it's held specifically under your name at their customer service desk.

sick burn bro.

 

[sammich]

Here it is right on FS site.. though it is their blog

http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/cate...spx?path=cb8953c32d74b1f39e3f640a2828c302en01

And it seem like its only for the console versions.. sigh

 

[Megasoum]

So how does the current gen to next gen upgrade works exactly on PS3-4?

There's a code in the PS3 box that I can redeem on SEN store that will give me access to a 10$ version of the PS4 game? I put in my PS3 disc in my PS4 and it will detect it and open up the store to get my 10$ version?

 

[Face it Tiger..]

trading a Copy of AC:brotherhood for ACIV.

 

[ElNino]

Yeah, I've reserved plenty of things at FS/BB before but I don't underestimate the ability for RFD to find a way to poach everything, reserved or otherwise.

Thanks! I can only reserve COD because the others dont have the option... Can I cancel a reservation free of charge?

I'll go in early as I can, I'm not expecting too many people to know about it before I get there.

No need to cancel, just don't pick it up and it will go back on the shelf. They don't charge you unless you pick it up.

 

[BadHand]

FYI - telephone orders have to be held for 2 days.

Gonna try my luck at Young/Dundas FS tomorrow afternoon as it's unfortunately the closest one to me.

Can anyone answer these questions? Curious myself.

 

[vinnygambini]

AC and COD are reserved

Sadly B4 was not

Plus will upgrade and get digital versions for PS4 at 10$! I'm loving these deals! Better than Walmart

 

[Cmagus]

Damn guess I'm gonna have to go over to Futureshop tomorrow I wouldn't mind a copy of AC plus I have a stack of 360 games I'll never touch again.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/09/19/how-to-upgrade-select-ps3-games-to-their-ps4-versions/

Gamers who purchase a PS3 Blu-ray Disc of these four games will find a code packed into the PS3 version that they can redeem on PlayStation Store. To play the PS4 version of the game when it becomes available, you’ll need to insert the original PS3 disc in your PS4 to activate and play the PS4 version, so hang onto that PS3 disc!
