Just got done chatting with amazon and they told me that Nioh and Gravity Rush 2 are not currently in the promotion and they don't even know when they'll be listed on the site if ever

Yeah if a game isn't shown during one of the big reveals I wouldn't expect to see it during e3 on amazon.


Best buy could be different since they're actually listening to fans on twitter.

Both have had E3 trailers. Looks like they are just going off of what they see in conferences.

Amazon reps can always be wrong though.

This makes me even more disappointed that they didn't show Gravity Rush during the conference...

I think I'll preorder something via Bestbuy, that way I get 10X points on my existing $40 preorders too.

Humm just Rise of the Tomb Raider and Last Guardian are coming out this year. The other preorders I have that come out this year are still FS. Humm.

Welp then I'm sunk if they aren't going to add stuff that was announced just before e3 like all the Xseed stuff. Plus stuff from guys like Namco Bandai which aren't having a big live stream reveal likely won't be added either :/

Pretty sad year for preorders for me since all I've got so far is the new Pokemon and Trails of cold steel 2

Why does the PSN only list Battlefield 1 Deluxe edition at $99.99? I want the base game only, are they not letting you order it?

Hhjmmm

So it's possible they're more open to take pre-orders of Crash Bandicoot Trilogy Remaster,Ni No Kuni 2,Ni-Oh and Vampyr.

Might have to send them a tweet.

I liked the Sony demo enough that I'm picking up Infinite Warfare by itself. The Modern Warfare thing will release separately at some point, but might not be till March or April 2017. No way it's forever tied to the Legacy version when they can make it $29.99 digitally and release it solo physical down the line, as well.

Placed my preorder. Horizon, Rise of the Tomb Raider and God of War. I've decided to get Skyrim redo and Spider-Man digitally. I'll take 20% off over full price although I do miss the by-gone days of 30%. Reward Zone certificates ain't my jam.

Do preorders count towars the PSN spend $100, get $15 back deal? If so, I really wish they had Skyrim PS4 and Spider-Man up. Even just Skyrim as there's enough in the best of E3 sale to put me over the $100 mark.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
$64+tax is still too damn much for a video game. I've decided to not preorder anything.

Under $50 or bust

Yeah im starting to lean that way myself. They will make the money up front forcing people to buy legacy and then just release it standalone later to get more money.

First year for me with no pre-orders, can't justify the cost, even with the discount (plus Amazon's shitty shipping)

I'll pick up anything I want when it drops in price

There's a rationale behind placing orders for whatever you may be interested in anyhow even if you have no intention of buying it at the currently advertised price point in hopes of benefiting from a price drop or price mistake in the future. But that's still likely to be somewhat of a crapshoot.

Yeah I'm also seeing lots of titles that may not even be released well into 2017 even past the next E3. As long as you are aware of what you have on order and cancel it you could end up benefiting from price drops and discounts down the road.

Also does Best Buy charge immediately when you pre-order with PayPal or do they charge when shipped?

Everyone make sure to bombard Amazon with the $39.99 price of Sea of Thieves from Best Buy. Go to the Amazon page and under Product Details, hit on "tell us about a lower price." Let's get that thing lower!

Also, just so people aren't caught off guard, Grow Up is coming out in August. If you are putting it in your order thinking it'll be a while, it's only two months out.

By sticking with the pre-order anyway, we went from $70 on FFXV to 30% off to 30% off $30 off = $35, which is absurd(ly awesome).

I just pre-ordered with PayPal and I got an this email from PayPal:
Thanks for using PayPal. Please note that this is not a charge. Your account will be charged when the merchant processes your payment. You may receive multiple emails as the merchant processes your order.
Click to expand...
So not sure what this means, is it just a check that Best Buy has access to my PayPal and they will only charge it when they ship?
Hopefully Amazon will price-match soon and I will just switch the order there.

Forget E3, I just found an amazing deal on sandals :p


So is Wii U gonna drop to 99.99 so I can play Zelda? Actually, it may need to drop below that =/

Why am I not able to find any special editions on Amazon.ca?

I'd love to put an order in on Last Guardian and maybe even Horizon special editions, but they're not on the site.

Is it usually like this?

Sony hasn't been bringing recent special editions over to Canada. I am trying to think of a recent exception, but I can't.

edit: lol, wtf. That's dark magic.
