Support NeoGAF

[wmlk]

Yes, if Amazon drops the price of a game before it comes out you'll get that lower price + the 20% off. It's how people got Xenoblade Chronicles X for $17 at launch.

Oh, so FFXV was listed at $79.99 earlier and they dropped it to $69.99? So that's how people are getting $30 off...

 

[kaiyo]

Interesting that this seems to be valid for the 25x rewards points. If so, its 30$ back on your purchase, which isn't too bad.

Limited/Collector's editions are part of BB's promo.

 

[Max_Po]

Don't support Wal-mart and don't eat Mr Noodles.

care to elaborate ? I am pretty sure an order from Walmart is going to be at your door on launch day where as an order from Amazon... a week after release you will see "preparing" for shipment.

 

[Ryne]

Only getting the LE/CEs I want on BB in hopes that the rewards program stops sucking.

Everything I wanted I ordered last year so I still have 30% off a lot of games I want to play this year.

 

[Killer Queen]

If I pre order at best buy i guess I gotta pay the full thing up front?

Nope, they charge you upon shipping.

 

[Killer Queen]

Nope, they charge you upon shipping.

In store too? Or is this an online only deal? So I can put down like 10 dollars for two games today and pay em off before they ship and I'll get $60 credit either when they ship or when it's paid in full?

Dunno what you mean by $60 credit (buying two games normally wouldn't give you that many RZ points unless you're buying a Collector's Edition) but yes, you can apparently get the 25x points deal on pre-orders in-store as well.

It doesn't? Damn that's no fun. Guess I'll just stick with the Watch_Dogs 2 pre order. But yeah this is my first time so excuse my ignorance.

 

[knacklover]

Damn it Best Buy, why can't Quebec buy the only thing worth it with your promo on your website (Persona 5 collector)???

 

[catpurrcat]

Attack on Titan PS4 posted for $70 to amazon.

 

[chrominance]

No worries. It'll give you something roughly in that neighborhood, though. 25 points per $ * $79 = 1975 points = $20 + 475 points, so two games would get you $45 in certificates + 450 points. I think you'd get the points on an in-store pre-order when the game arrives, not when you pay it off.

 

[KarmaCow]

I guess this is tangentially related to E3 but I was looking through past a BestBuy E3 order and saw that it says "Ship when all items are available". I didn't really pay attention to what other orders said that have already shipped but since there doesn't seem to be a way to change on the order status screen, it can't mean it will only ship one bulk order right?

 

[Pestilence11]

For Amazon I'm safe to grab Battlefield now if I want to take advantage of 20% on preorders during E3 right? I ask because of the one big order thing. Probably a stupid question but I want to be sure.

 

[jred2k]

If anybody is looking to buy Astro A40s and the new CoD, the deal on Best Buy is actually decent. It ends up being about $110 dollars back. It sucks you have to front it, but the money back could be useful around Boxing Day.

Thanks!

 

[Yasumi]

Grabbed P5 special edition on Bestbuy too. I'll keep my Amazon one until just before release, in case there's a pricing mistake. If not, I'll just cancel and keep Bestbuy for the points.

Sorry, what's the deal?

 

[chrominance]

The 25x points deal applies to the COD + Astro A40 bundle.

 

[killroy87]

Hmm, between the Persona 5 CE and COD Legacy Edition, the Best Buy deal is actually proving its worth.

Guys about how much does a PS4 sell for second hand these days? Not sure what to price mine, is $300 too little?

I managed to sell mine for 300 a few months ago, but it took quite some time to sell, most offers I got were 250.

 

[Tapejara]

I'm not sure how much it sells for second hand, but I think you could get more for it considering the lowest price for a new PS4 right now is $379 (but that's just a sale) and Sony says the Neo won't be at E3.

If NEO is not at E3 you are in luck.

Intersting, because I have someone offering $300 tomorrow. I might take it then.

 

[ohlawd]

srsly. the thread about the Neo not being revealed at E3 is always on the front page.

$300 for a PS4 is tempting. I don't mind taking a $50 hit when reselling

It's $429 in Canada and I am aware Neo isn't being shown at E3.

 

[ohlawd]

nah, that wasn't aimed at you.

if you live in BC and the other dude bails, I might do it

Oh, my fault.
I'm in Toronto though.

 

[ohlawd]

Oh.
I'm in Toronto though.

it's like for every person in BC in CanadaGAF, there's 20 peeps from Toronto

 

[LifeBrandRobot]

Idea Factory must be stoked at how popular Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force is on Amazon. I mean, it's the #1 Best Seller in Advent Calendars LOL.

 

[etta]

Well, the population in GTA alone is 6 million and the entire BC province is like 4, so yea heh.
I wish I could live in BC, love the ocean. One day, maybe.

 

[LordAmused]

Oh, so FFXV was listed at $79.99 earlier and they dropped it to $69.99? So that's how people are getting $30 off...

Well it's currently 49.99$ so I would believe it's a good deal. Don't think it's going to get any lower anytime soon.

 

[chrono01]

I want to pre-der a few games, but I'm waiting to see what's announced at E3 first just in-case Amazon adds more. :/

 

[orochi91]

Sounds like a bad deal.

I sold mine for $400 a couple months ago.

Keep looking, you'll eventually find a gullible buyer.

 

[killroy87]

I hope Walmart adds more games to their $49 deal this week, so Amazon can follow suit. It would be a shame if Amazon dedicated a whole page for just six games.

omg if Wal Mart adds more games @ $49.95 and Amazon price matches them :O

Would be like FF15 where I have it in my previous E3 order. $49.95 - %30

 

[Ondore]

Silly question: Nothing for Paper Mario: Color Splash from Amazon? Or are they waiting for a release date to be announced?

Nothing yet. I expect a lot of gaps to be filled once E3 actually starts

$50 for Battlefield 1, oh yeah. Will take.

Yea but I'm not selling it with any games, I'll keep them for when I get another PS4/5.

 

[mdubs]

crossing my fingers walmart puts titanfall 2 up for the $50 promo

 

[VanCityGamer]

It seems really difficult to determine their criteria. Not all the same publisher, genre, etc.

 

[Samemind]

So what is up with the Amazon deals? Do they apply to every order of elligible items? What is up with orders where at checkout, the discount doesn't amount to 20% off?

Not sure if this counts, but here's EB Games' trade-in promo for E3.

Get 40% extra when you trade towards E3 titles.

• 45% for Red and Gold Members
• 50% for Platinum members
• 55% for Onyx members

Runs from June 14-19.

I have a small pile of games I'm looking to get rid of, so this could work out pretty well.

Damn. The EB Games I frequent warns people about any promos that pop up. I almost traded in my pile of games before they told me to hold off until next week.

damn, thats not bad

I'm not sure if this is still a valid option, but an EB Games employee told me last year to take advantage of their trade-in and pre-order promo (similar to what I posted) and just pre-order something. Then cancel the order a little later and have the amount put in a gift card (anything they offer in-store). I ended up keeping my pre-order, so I couldn't really try this. But it seems straightforward enough.

Seems like a loophole to be exploited to get maximum value, but they may have changed their rules since. But that's also an option, if anything.

 

[chrominance]

Oh god, this is what we're reduced to, talking about EBGames trade-in promos for E3. Truly this is the darkest timeline.
