Does anyone have the link for the standard edition of Battlefield 4 on PS3? All I can find on their site is the limited edition and it's not available to reserve at my local Future Shop.

 

[Quick]

So, itinerary tomorrow:

Go to EB, buy something cheap

Go to BB, trade one in

Go to FS, trade the other in

Upgrade to next-gen for $10 each.

That's $20 for both upgrades, + $2-5 used games at EB.

I know what has been posted already but this was on RFD... take with salt at this point

I went to the FS at Yonge & Dundas and spoke with one of the main managers on the floor (and one video game salesperson). Here's what I found out:

1. They are aware of this deal.
2. You CANNOT trade just any game.
3. There will be a list that will go up sometime between today and tomorrow.
4. One trade per person per day.

Cool thanks


And hmm... I tried reserving AC4 at my local FS but on the last click (when you confirm your info and the price and all that) I now get a white screen... The fake "pop-up" that you get when you hit reserve is still there but it's all white.

 

[explodet]

There will be a list that will go up sometime between today and tomorrow.

Ooh, bait and switch?
The salt will flow.

I think the LE is the only version right now.

 

[bishoptl]

I'll trade in my Burger King 360 games and pick up BF 4 and AC 4, then upgrade to the PlayStation 4 versions in a week. WICKED

edit: goddamit

3. There will be a list that will go up sometime between today and tomorrow.

 

[jet1911]

AC4 and Ghost reserved for in store pick-up. I'll go back sunday and grab BF4. This deal is insane. I'll probably trade those 3 games toward a Vita at EBGames lol.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

I know what has been posted already but this was on RFD... take with salt at this point

Ugh, seemed to good to be true.

 

[centracore]

Darn. Oh well, got AC4 and COD reserved until this time tomorrow. I'm off to EB Games to buy the two cheapest current gen games they have.

edit: I'm not sure I believe that post about the list, see http://community.futureshop.ca/t5/Gaming-Announcements/Trade-In-Offer-November-9-11/td-p/462113

hmm dammit FS, how about some consistent messaging, eh?

 

[bishoptl]

Anyone know if stats/unlocks carry over between current and next-gen Battlefield?

 

[RS4-]

Anyone know if stats/unlocks carry over between current and next-gen Battlefield?

iirc they do, provided that it's the right upgrade path.

 

[BadHand]

hmm dammit FS, how about some consistent messaging, eh?

I doubt the guys in store have a clue whats going on tbh.

 

[Nymphae]

Usually Futureshop let's you buy the game right in store that you plan to trade!

I was thinking EB would probably have cheaper used EA sports titles, but that's good to know.

I'll probably just go into EB and ask for the cheapest current gen game they have lol.

 

[centracore]

Confirmed: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/08/14/battlefield-4-bring-your-ps3-stats-to-ps4/

 

[ElNino]

Ugh, seemed to good to be true.

Oh come on! I know most (all) of their deals are like this so I shouldn't be too upset, but why couldn't they say this in the first place or just use the list they have up currently for the 2 for $60 deal?

 

[Jotamide]

Red Flag Deals will clear out the stock of all stores in Canada within minutes of them opening tomorrow.

Yep.

 

[LkPr]

I doubt the guys in store have a clue whats going on tbh.

Agree, like I said take what the guy on RFD said with a grain of salt... for all we know right now FS community states ANY game will be accepted so until that post is changed I'm still excited to be getting 3 new games tomorrow!

 

[hbkajshdvfbkjhvgkahsgdfka]

If there's a list, it'll probably be the one they currently have up for the trade-in deal they have up on their site for a $60 gift card but with a few additions.

http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/category/trade-in-games/27603.aspx

 

[Dazzler]

Yep.

I wouldn't even bother showing up to a store without a copy reserved

 

[SCHUEY F1]

I know. Just got excited

Maybe it will still be true.

 

[Megasoum]

Cool, got my reservation email for AC4... Now to wait for the list and see if I have any of the games.

 

[anon_mastermind]

So, itinerary tomorrow:

Go to EB, buy something cheap

Go to BB, trade one in

Go to FS, trade the other in

Upgrade to next-gen for $10 each.

That's $20 for both upgrades, + $2-5 used games at EB.

Same for me, except I will not be upgrading, I'll enjoy them on Wii U!

Edit: damn, a list is going up? Oh well, I got my 2 reservations in, so I'll wait and see if this works for me.

 

[Anth0ny]

I know what has been posted already but this was on RFD... take with salt at this point

makes sense

why would future shop just give those games away for scraps

 

[vinnygambini]

hmm dammit FS, how about some consistent messaging, eh?

Nope.

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).

I printed everything. Not my prerogative if the messaging has not been consistent. Don't burden your clients with last minute change-ups.

http://community.futureshop.ca/t5/T...py-of-new-Call-of-Duty-Assassin-s/ba-p/462111

 

[centracore]

Even the Financial Post article clearly states that you can trade in ANY current gen game:

Here’s how it works. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday, simply take in a used game for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or the Wii U (Wii games aren’t eligible for the promotion) and you can walk out with one of those three titles without spending another dime. This offer is only for the standard $59.99 versions of the games, so no special editions.

The game you take home can be for any of the current generation system. So, for example, you could bring an Xbox 360 game from four years ago and walk out with a PlayStation 3 version of Call of Duty: Ghosts.

Bring in a copy of the first Assassin’s Creed for the Xbox 360, you can take home Assassin’s Creed IV . Bring in a copy of NHL 10 for the PlayStation 3, walk out with Call of Duty: Ghosts.

 

[AlexMeloche]

Will wait to see if I can get AC4 and COD tomorrow. Will give them to my younger brother for Christmas

 

[FairXchange]

Definitely seems like ANY game at the moment, hoping that remains true. I'll snag AC4 tomorrow, then un-reserve then re-reserve COD Ghosts to pick up on Sunday with another game.

 

[Omzz]

so is there a limit of some kind as to how many games I could trade in?

 

[zroid]

Nope.

Yeah I'm not so worried about the deal being a bust at this point, but just that if they can't get the messaging straight we could end up with hassles tomorrow. Depending on location.

 

[Megasoum]

1 per customer per day

 

[MercuryLS]

So it's one title per customer per day. I'll get COD:Ghosts and AC:IV (Best Buy And Futureshop are very close to each other at Heartland).

Goodbye Sega Genesis collection and Sports Champions.

 

[WrenchNinja]

So is it any game or not?

 

[ahdurian]

So is it any game or not?

according to the blog post on FS' site, it's ANY game as long as it's a current gen game

 

[sixteen-bit]

Sounds too good to be true

 

[MercuryLS]

So is it any game or not?

From the blog post it says any game, he even typed out "ANY" in capital letters. I think it will be fine, if they change their minds you can print out the post and bring it in and argue.

 

[Conezays]

Nope.

I like the cut of your jib. I'm going to do the same.

 

[Tiktaalik]

I'll trade in my Burger King 360 games and pick up BF 4 and AC 4, then upgrade to the PlayStation 4 versions in a week. WICKED

edit: goddamit

Lol I was thinking the same thing, of trading in those burger king games. On the other hand I went to way too much effort to get them. The closest burger king to me was in the USA and I had to go across the border just to get them.

This works out pretty well then.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Oh fuck RFD, Battlefield 4 is sold out everywhere.

 

[Kak.efes]

So, they're basically just giving away free shit for no rhyme or reason? What's to stop someone from trading in the very same games they just got from FS to another FS location for $60 credit?

Shit's fucked.

Madness.

I'm trading in my copy of PGR4 towards something tomorrow.

Hope it's Battlefield 4.

Oh fuck RFD, Battlefield 4 is sold out everywhere.

Hope FS had the good sense to reserve some stock for walk-ins tomorrow morning. Otherwise it's ACIV for me.

Hi everyone,

I am sure some of you have seen the article by Matt Hartley in the Financial Post today about a trade in offer this weekend (November 9-11).

I unfortunately have to tell you that if you are interested in this promotion, you will have to bear with me in the line because I will for sure be there with you :smileyvery-happy:

This promotion is one of the best I have seen. Here is how it works. Bring a copy of ANY (emphasis theirs) used Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or the Wii U game (one that works and has the original jewel case) and you can trade it in for a current generation (Xbox360, PS3 or WiiU) version of: Assassin’s Creed IV, Call of Duty: Ghosts or Battlefield 4.

That is it. No catch.

How awesome is that?

Now, a couple of small things to note: There’s a limit of one free game per customer, per day. also, there are a few stores that are not participating: Nanaimo, Kelowna, Vaughan, St. James, Garden City, Pembina and Richmond Hill.

Thanks for the heads up!
I'm assuming I can pick up my in-store hold and pay with it via a trade in?

 

[Hero of Legend]

So can I trade a couple of 360 games to get Ghosts and AC4 on Wii U?

 

[MercuryLS]

That's what most people are doing.

 

[speculawyer]

I've got my 3 trade in games ready

Oh, you do not want to trade in Sneak King. C'mon . . . a creepy King that pops out of a porta-potty or garbage can to give you a burger to eat? You can't beat that.

 

[vinnygambini]

So can I trade a couple of 360 games to get Ghosts and AC4 on Wii U?

Yes sir

 

[The Elite]

Do they even have those Burger King games in their system? They may not accept them.
