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

I'll take any deal I can get right now. lol

But I'll take last year's complaints of "30% off puts us back to how much these games would've cost at regular price from a few years ago" (not sure how many people really made this complaint, tbh) over now.

Wait until e3 is canceled entirely, no more promotion of any kind.

and $99.99 regular priced games.

 

[CrimsonGun]

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.

Fuck me the EB Games near me closed down. God damn it

I'm surprised people actually buy games at $80. Holy smokes.

I'm surprised people buy overpriced iPhones, $500 shoes, $500 jeans, $10 lattes etc.

Depends on the game.

Fallout 4, Witcher 3. No problem paying $80

Yeah but why bother when you could have gotten 30% off upfront on those games day 1?

Their are very very few games I'd pay full price on, but I'll STILL take a discount on em anyhow if I can get it

 

[Morrigan Stark]

CanadaGAF halp

My PS+ subscription expired today. Any deals going on about that somewhere, hopefully since it's E3?

 

[chrominance]

Reminder that this is the E3 deals thread, not the general deals thread. That thread is over here!

I was ready to put up a bunch of stuff in the wake of the EA conference but then they only announced one game we didn't already know about officially (and is likely to get a retail release--sorry, Fe). Anyways, Titanfall 2 is on Amazon and is eligible for the 20% off.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Reminder that this is the E3 deals thread, not the general deals thread. That thread is over here!

If this is addressed to me, I was indeed thinking of E3 deals (since, well, normally there aren't discounts on PS+ subscriptions other than during special events/dates), but I'll still go check the other thread, thanks.

 

[chrono01]

So, does Amazon not offer free shipping for these E3 deals? I purchased a bundle of games within the same order, as well as choosing "free shipping", and they're still charging me over $22 for shipping and handling. All of the game in the order are above $25 too. Very strange. :/

Also, since this deal is limited to one per account, if more titles are added later, I should be able to cancel/re-order everything right? As long as there's not two active pre-order bundles listed, I should be okay?

Oh, no, not to you specifically. Also, it's not like I'm a mod, I don't actually control shit. It was more in case people were mixing up the threads, which I find really easy to do because I happen to have them both open in separate tabs and sometimes forget which one is which!

I have multiple Amazon.ca orders for E3 2016 and so far they all qualify for the E3 discount. Unless Amazon changes its mind later, I don't think you need to worry about bundling everything into one order.

There should be a "Free Shipping: -CDN$ XX.XX" listed in the order summary that shows that shipping price being 0'd out. Might be mixed in with all the E3 discount listings.

Canada GAF, they sent EP Alum Jose Sanchez to die at the EA Conference.

Poor guy. He should run back to Victor Lucas.
I haven't been able to watch a single thing he's been involved with today without instinctively hitting the mute button.
On the bright side, he looks great.

Oh really? Thanks! I saw the mention of it only being available once per account and it kind of worried me. I'd like to pre-order Paper Mario: Color Splash, and a few others, but they're not currently listed.

I'm an idiot, I see it now.

Thanks!

Only game I paid full price for was DS3, but that was only like 66 CAD or something, none of that $80 nonesense.

It was totally worth the full price btw

 

[EvilMario]

I buy games at launch that I will play for a bunch of hours (Overwatch), or games that will maintain value (Nintendo stuff). The E3 sales have definitely helped get me to buy a few games I wouldn't have at launch otherwise, but most of the titles I likely would have picked up anyways.

Admittingly, the cost of the software is one of the primary reasons we don't own a PS4 yet. Even with the 30% off it's quite the blow. That and our time is sort of filled to the brim with games as it is.

 

[firehawk12]

Ah crap, CoD with MW is considered a special edition by Amazon. Was hoping for a discount.

 

[Vinc]

Looks like walmart isn't gonna add more games either.

 

[killroy87]

Did they say that?

 

[mdubs]

So are people able to make multiple orders on Amazon? Or is everyone waiting to do one big one?

 

[Vinc]

Did they say that?

Nah but nothing else got added after EA. Maybe later i guess.

My secret wish is that they wait until after E3 when I've done my full order with Amazon

Then Amazon price matches and we get those prices AND the 20% off.

Not gonna happen though

 

[firehawk12]

Since cancelling is relatively painless on Amazon, you could go with single orders or big orders. I guess it just depends on how you keep track of stuff.

Oh I meant more since there was chatter about the deal only apply to one order or something

Unlike Amazon, Walmart isn't specifically promoting E3 deals as far as I know. I wouldn't necessarily expect them to update after every press conference like Amazon has. Hell, Best Buy doesn't even have Titanfall 2 up yet.

Wait until Tuesday to see if Walmart bothers a) putting up more games and b) discounting any of them.

If I had to guess I'd say they will put up more. They added Watch Dogs 2 after all

 

[killroy87]

Does Walmart have Titanfall up for preorder at all?

Edit. They don't. So we don't really know anything yet lol

 

[chrominance]

Amazon added a few games to the list: Agents of Mayhem, Dragon Quest Builders, and Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age.

 

[Hazu]

80$ for FFXII? :/

 

[xCaptainCanadax]

80$ for FFXII? :/

I hope thats a placeholder price and that its price the same as the X HD remaster

 

[LastOne2100]

80$ for FFXII? :/

Placeholder price. That's why you pre-order from Amazon. When the real price appears, they'll lower your order automatically and still apply the 20% off.

 

[i-Jest]

The Agents of Mayhem trailer was enjoyable. Gave the impression of not taking itself to seriously.

 

[Ventara]

Yo, when did FFXII get announced? That is totally new to me.

 

[akumu]

I'm surprised people buy overpriced iPhones, $500 shoes, $500 jeans, $10 lattes etc.

Depends on the game.

Fallout 4, Witcher 3. No problem paying $80

Wholeheartedly agree on this. I was more than willing to get the likes of FFXV at full price before even learning of the amazon deal.

 

[ohlawd]

Yo, when did FFXII get announced? That is totally new to me.

a week ago, PS4 exclusive, 2017

 

[Kieli]

80$ for FFXII? :/

Well, people buy ipads and 500 dollar jeans apparently.

 

[i-Jest]

Sega can you please announce Dengeki Bunko Ignition and Blade Arcus From Shining for the west, so I can pre-ordered.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Is that a placeholder price or is Skyrim SE seriously $80 dollars?

 

[Wazzy]

Just did a preorder for XV, KH III, World Of Final Fantasy, Persona 5 and Pokemon Sun. I had the first three preordered for last E3 but a payment mess up caused the whole order to be cancelled so I have to order them again.

 

[Zombie James]

Is that a placeholder price or is Skyrim SE seriously $80 dollars?

That had better be a placeholder.

 

[Sora_N]

80$ for FFXII? :/

I hope thats a placeholder price and that its price the same as the X HD remaster

I'll just wait for sale if that's the price but like all Amazon stuff, better to just order first lol.

That's no placeholder.

 

[CrimsonGun]

Were mafia 3 and dishonored 2 up for preorder last year?

20% is such a joke I guess I'd rather wait until they get cheaper after release.

 

[FrsDvl]

Yes they were, and here I went and canceled them for some stupid reason.

Prey is up:

Extra salty now about BB canceling my Prey 2 order.

 

[CrimsonGun]

Yup I did the same, cancelled everything except halo, blops 3 and ghost recon.

Regret it greatly, didn't expect this.
