Canada E3 Deals Thread 2016 |OT| 25x times better than last year!

Really want to order RIGS or Ace Combat 7. I guess these games aren't even hitting for PSVR launch. Maybe they get mentioned in the next couple of days.
 
Is Kingdom Hearts 3 coming out ever?


I have 3 FS games left - Mass Effect 4 (which better still be valid for Andromeda), Rise of the Tomb Raider PS4 and FF15

Just looking back at the orders made me miss the deals
 
Safe to pre-order and cancel anything at a later date right?

For some reason I remember reading that if you cancel one item from the order, then it removes the discount from the whole order but I can't find that now, was/am I wrong?

You can cancel one item without penalty. Edit:more than one.

I am going to wait at least 24 hours more, I think. Just for any announcements from the show floor.

What happens if you cancel more than one item? So the old strategy of ordering everything and cancelling won't fly anymore?
 
Since Ni No Kuni 2 and Gravity Rush 2 were no-shows, I suspect we won't be getting pre-orders?

Dunno, we do still have all of E3 proper to go through. But yes, now begins several days of pulling out your hair hoping Amazon will recognize anything that wasn't presented in a press conference. (For example: Resident Evil 7 is apparently also slated for PC and Xbox One!)

They announced last time that there will be a y0 physical release.

What! That's awesome! Sorry for giving false hope/information, then! I hope it pops up tomorrow sometime.

You can cancel more than one without penalty. Don't worry.

That's good, thanks. My wishlist is 20 strong at the moment, not including past orders, haha.

Had no idea it was coming to both, the VR trailer before the full reveal felt like tricking you into thinking exclusive. For me, it's mostly the RPG's I'm waiting to pop up now, Amazon has so far been on the ball with immediate pre-orders for announcements.

Don't worry, you're probably not alone in thinking that. I'm sure that's exactly what Sony was hoping you'd think, after all.

I hope to see Gravity Rush 2 go up before E3 is through, though realistically that's probably not coming out until early 2017 at best.

Yeah, we might end up getting that with a Black Friday discount or something. But we can hope for sooner!

Ok everyone, start praying and begging that Walmart will come through with the discounts to undercut Amazon when they post things like Titanfall 2

what are the chances gravity rush 2 will be on amazon?
we already got shafted with 1

Honestly it could go either way imo. There was no justifiable reason why the ps4 retail version wasn't available in Canada.

I'd like to see more of this but are they even open to hearing people out over twitter?
 
I fully intend on cancelling
all
of my preorders. I just want a safety net with that 20% off and lowest price guarantee, yaknow?

Yup that's the thing. Plus, with the way our Dollar has been going, who knows how much games will cost in a few months/a year. I'm future proofing myself here LOL.
 
So far I've got

Pokemon Sun
Pokemon Moon
Death Stranding
Spider-Man
Resident Evil 7
God of Dads
Persona 5
Call of Duty: Infinite Borefare

I'll probably cancel everything except Pokemon and Persona

i keep getting offered an amazon prime trial.

if i get it, can i order all the e3 games, then cancel it and still keep the free 2 day shipping?
 
For Honour is the only game I'm not sure I'll keep or not. The combat looked fun and easy to get into, but the story seems lacking. I've also got Pokemon Sun pre-ordered in case they don't do a hardware bundle this gen.

Yes. I cancelled my trial by accident the other day, and none of my orders were effected.

You bet. As long as you place the order during the trial, you keep the benefits for the order.

plan to compile my preorder list tomorrow, even though I'll probably cancel them all, but do we know if amazon.ca is doing that free stick of truth with south park: the fractured but whole preorder?

Yes, they are. You'll get the code to download Stick of Truth with your copy of Fractured but Whole.
 
It's cool if I order in groups of 3 or 4 from Amazon even if I might want to cancel 1 - all of them? Or should I just order like 10 in one order?

Yep, I have FFXV and World of Final Fantasy from my last year E3 order with %30.
They both dropped in price.
Amazon has lowest price guarantee.

Yes. If you already had an E3/Black Friday pre-order with a straight 20%/30% off, price protection gives you a new regular price and your pre-order gives you 20%/30% off that. If you don't already have a pre-order, $50 is the lowest price you can attain without CSR trickery.

Aaaahhhh.... Gotcha.

Amazing. I'll still take the $49. Great price!

I can talk to Best buy though their forum, not that it's actually helped any in actually getting them to list stuff since I already asked them about many of the missing games days ago and they still haven't.

This is the thread to bug them on adding new games if you're interested.
http://plug-in.bestbuy.ca/t5/Video-...You-Looking-Forward-Too-The-Most/td-p/156430/

As for Amazon.ca I'm don't even know where to even begin getting their attention. Asking the customer service chat last year did diddle squat and they don't really have an active social media account to bug either
 
Follow the rules Amazon posted, ask Amazon, or do nothing and hope Amazon doesn't end up enforcing it later
I talked to a CSR on live chat, and they seemed to have no idea about any rules regulating the amount of orders someone makes. They said me making each game an individual order was fine, and that I could continue placing my orders that way if I wanted to.

Is there any downside to putting all the games in one order? I'd play it safe and follow the listed rules

Take it from me, amazon CSR's are pretty iffy when it comes to actually knowing what the finer points of their own sales are. You're better off just following what the sale's terms are, since I'm pretty sure whomever they outsourced their CSR staff to aren't the ones in charge of making the sale terms, etc.

Is there a place on Amazon to read their pre-order "rules" or policy or whatever. I looked around and don't really see anything about multiple orders.

Happy to see that Amazon finally dropped this restriction from their list of promo qualifiers...

- Items must be purchased in a single order and shipped at the same speed to a single address.

It was there before and it's now gone (although it was clearly never working as stated in the first place).

That one per customer and account rule still seems wonky as all hell, though - unless it's just enforcing a unique quantity limit of "1" for each game you order on your account at 20% off.
