My copy of Resistance showed up during my lunch break while I was out buying another copy of Resistance.

Oh well, I'll just return the store copy tomorrow.

Those Best Buy preorders are awful. Almost all of those games will be $39.99 or less 30 days after release.

If you're the type who has to buy on launch day, the deals aren't bad.

 

[explodet]

Damn it! Was looking for a Ultimate Borderlands 2 preorder and came up with nothing. Couldn't preorder when they first announced them because nobody would take them yet, and now it's too late!

I have a feeling I'm going to be paying through the nose for one.

Every game but COD and Atlus stuff is $40 within 30 days of release

Yeah:-( I was hoping Last Guardian was going to be on that list. Still have it preordered from last E3.

 

[Fuzzy]

Well considering our workload at Purolator basically doubled, im calling it a strike. We got fucked so god damn hard with extra freight and extra mail (mostly mail). SO FU! it was a stike and I hated going to work during that time, haha


edit: also! you yourself called it a rotating strike !

A rotating strike isn't a real strike and there was no reason for CP to lock out the workers except that was the only way they could get the Government to legislate them back to work. The workers were finally doing the smart thing by not doing a full strike (which are stupid except in extreme circumstances) and they were screwed over for it by being given an even worse deal from the Government than what CP was offering them. It was wrong and to call it a strike (which gives blame to the workers) is wrong.

Thanks for the info. I honestly had no idea what was really happening at the time. Like I said, I just hated going to work, since we had basically double the freight we normally had at that time, it was pretty shitty.

 

[zroid]

i'm pretty sure the list will get updated over the course of the actual show

 

[Fuzzy]

i'm pretty sure the list will get updated over the course of the actual show

Yeah, same thing happened last year. I'll probably make multiple orders throughout the show and then cancel the older ones if other stuff popped up. I remember last year that I missed out on a cheap Mario Kart 7 because they (FS or BB, can't remember) stopped taking pre-orders for that game. That's why I'll pre-order something right away and then cancel if I get another pre-order in for a better price. Not making that mistake again.

Talk about a lucky break, my sub expires on the 5th.

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Sweet hopefully the diablo coupon will work for getting Skyrim

 

[RS4-]

Talk about a lucky break, my sub expires on the 5th.

Man, I pretty much wasted the past month of mine. I've hardly used my 360 since I put in a new script card lol

The B2G1 Vita thing sounds good, then again the only game I kind of want right now is Disgaea

 

[firehawk12]

Can anybody that's upgraded their PS3 HDD let me know if this is a good choice? Just want to make sure I'm buying something compatible and wanted to see if there are maybe better deals out there.

If you don't absolutely need the space, you might consider waiting. Of course, there will be a point where the manufacturers decide to keep the prices at the same level for good.

That's about the standard price for a 320 these days though.

 

[zroid]

I'm still waiting for Pikmin 2 to show up on FS so I can order it with the Diablo coupon...

 

[Mikey Jr.]

$39.99 games
Gears of War 3, Saints Row 3rd, Forza 4, CoDMw3, Skyrim, ME3, Tiger Woods Tour 13, Prototype 2

Futureshop website still showing saints for 60 bucks. I'm guessing site just hasnt been updated yet?

I don't think it updates until midnight on the west coast.

 

[Mike Works]

PS3 160gb (no games) - $199.99

 

[bearythebear]

Hmmm, PC Borderlands 2 or Assassins 3 are 49.99. So with 10 dollars off E3 plus 10 dollar reward zone, I can get them for 29.99 each. Tempting.

 

[Fantaz]

Yeah I'm down to about 3GB left on my 80GB model. I've deleted about all I want to and now I can't run auto-updates for PSN+ cause I'm under 5GBs. Thanks for the info.

 

[zroid]

Darksiders and Metro 2033 are $9.99 at EB, beginning June 3.

 

[Giard]

Darksiders and Metro 2033 are $9.99 at EB, beginning June 3.

Mineeeee

Is Metro 2033 any good?

 

[elty]

Anywhere has Dragon's Dogma for cheap?

 

[E-DuB]

Darksiders and Metro 2033 are $9.99 at EB, beginning June 3.

I'm glad I waited on getting Darlsiders.

Any other games in the sale? Is it a sale?

http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/private-shopping.aspx

This Sunday from 7-9pm (I'm assuming in each respective time zone) BB is doing another RZ private sale in-store. The only reason I bring it up is because they'll be offering:

10% OFF on all games
15% OFF on all gaming accessories(1)
25% OFF on all previously played games(4)
15% OFF on all DVD and blu-ray movies(1)

1.Excludes out of stock, clearance, demos, refurbished and open box
4.Excludes Kelowna, Nanaimo, Winnipeg, and select stores in Ontario

I wonder if you'd be able to stack the 10% off with the $10 off + 800 RZ points for pre-orders they started today or if the 10% off is strictly on in-stock games.

 

[MattyGrovesOrMe]

Some lukewarm deals on games that are hard to find or rarely cheaper new / rarely on sale:

[RS4-]

Ugh for the B2G1 Vita thing Disgaea is the only game I'm interested in.

 

[explodet]

Amazon is OOS. Have you tried EB?

The EB I went to said they're no longer taking preorders for the Ultimate, they're full up. I'm going to have to hit other EBs to see if they say the same thing.
They also said they may get more allocated, but I'd have to check in regularly to see if they're available yet. Ugh.

 

[krae_man]

Man Bestbuy and FS need to update their preorder pages so I can figure out what the best way to get what I want is.

Edit: Futureshop has Last Guardian and Agent listed at $70 each.

 

[Fuzzy]

Ugh for the B2G1 Vita thing Disgaea is the only game I'm interested in.

Yeah, it's only good for someone who doesn't already have a Vita. You can't even split it with someone either since Disgaea isn't included in the deal.

http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/category/ps-vita-buy-2-get-1-free-promo/psvitapromo.aspx

 

[RS4-]

Hopefully they do a T1 for Gravity Rush, I'd use a throwaway game on that.

Not too much is coming out for the next little while.

 

[Kazerei]

Any KW gaffers interested in buying Vita games together? There's a B2G1 promo on Sony-published games at FutureShop until June 24th. I'm only interested in Gravity Rush.

Gravity Rush isn't part of the deal.

Do you have a Tsilon $50 off code?

P.S. someone successfully used the $50 off code and selected in store pickup and used the 30% off accessories coupon on a 16gb memory card.

 

[zroid]

Any other games in the sale? Is it a sale?

saw them in the online flyer here: http://www.ebgames.ca/gs/weeklyad/default.aspx?cid=soc_10001921

there's some other stuff, but those two were really the only notable things in my opinion

Edit: Futureshop has Last Guardian and Agent listed at $70 each.

what is this, 2007?

 

[Kazerei]

P.S. someone successfully used the $50 off code and selected in store pickup and used the 30% off accessories coupon on a 16gb memory card.

What happens if I use a $50 off code on a $40 game?

 

[krae_man]

What happens if I use a $50 off code on a $40 game?

The $50 off is on the system.

So in theory, you can get a Vita(with Uncharted) for $199 and use the 30% off coupon to get whatever size memory card you want.

Okay so here's my E3 want list so far:

God of War Ascension
RE6
Sly Cooper Thieves in Time
Last Guardian
New Super Mario Bros 2
Kirby All Stars(or whatever it's called)
Ratchet & Clank Collection
Family Guy Game
Paper Mario 3DS
Warriors Lair
+ whatever gets announced that I want.

Add on top of that I already have Tomb Raider Preordered and Borderlands 2 coming from being at the Gearbox panel at PAX Prime.

This is going to be fun to figure out. Even more fun? Finding the time to play it all.

 

[Kazerei]

The $50 off is on the system.

Oh, okay. I already have a Vita though, and the only game I want is Gravity Rush.

 

[krae_man]

Oh, okay. I already have a Vita though, and the only game I want is Gravity Rush.

In that case, you missed out on some $10 and $20 off codes from Tsilon. I managed to Snag a $20 off code.

You can always preorder it at bestbuy and get $5 off. It's better then nothing.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Bought Saints Row Third 360 for 40 bucks.

Great deal. Thanks guys. My Futureshop didn't have the Killzone 3 DS3 bundle unfortunately.

 

[No_Style]

PS3 is still $50. I have the first on Wii but I'd prefer the second on PS3 (I don't have a 360).

 

[OverHeat]

Bought a 12 month xbox live at futureshop thx for the heads up guys.

 

[Cake Boss]

For the preorders in walmart. Do you have to pay the full game or could you just put 5$ down?

 

[SickBoy]

Looking at the website, it looks like those prices aren't available in store... just online orders.

I presume they take payment on shipment. In store, I think you need to put $5 down to preorder... but again, doesn't look like the posted prices apply.
