I wish 3DS games counted, there is easily 4 coming out this year that I want. Not sure why they are listed if they are to cheap to qualify.

At least it's not much worse at BB. Instead of $15 off (like at FS) you'd get $10 off so that means $30 3DS games there.

Yeah, hopefully everything will be up tomorrow.

I've had Luigi's Mansion 2 pre-ordered for $26 since E3 2011. If it wasn't for the emails every two weeks reminding me about it I might have forgotten. :p

Quick question for the Futureshop E3 deal:

What happens if I preorder 5 games?

Will I have to pay for the first 3, then get the 4th free, then pay for the 5th?

Or will I have to pay for the first 4, then get the 5th free?

neither. you'll get $15 off each of the first four games, and pay full price for the 5th.

Are you absolutely sure that's the way it works? I'm not questioning you at all, I just want to be sure.

(I'm quite paranoid about The Last Guardian getting moved to the PS4, and so I'm considering preordering an extra game that I might get for my brother or something just in case).

edit: Under this system, if you only really wanted one game, couldn't you preorder it, along with 3 other games that would release after the one you want? Then once you buy the game you want at the discounted price, you cancel all of the other preorders. Wouldn't that work?

They do have NSMB2 $10 off if you go to the regular 3DS pre-order section. Still no Paper Mario.

I missed my chance to pre-order Pikmin 3 because they went and raised the price to $60 now, grrrr. Shoppers Drug Mart it is for my Wii U games then I guess.

Little help, I chose GTA V, Halo 4 and Bioshock.

Which is going to have a better online experience ? Forza Horizon or NFS Most Wanted ?

Ahh cool cool. I forgot BB was doing this as well, thanks.


I wonder if I should be preordering all of these seperately on BB? Also, it kinda sucks seeing how much money im going to be spending on games in the next 6 months. haha. especially since this list doesnt include stuff like Guild Wars 2, Mists of Pandaria CE, a stupid amount of iPad games that im sure I will buy, oh and I dont know....a fucking WiiU!


Its easily going to be over a $1000 in the next 6 months total. Im so glad I dont really consume much of any other media, like music or movies, but still! FUUUCK, haha.

Protip for Canada-GAF who want MGS Vita and/or Gravity Rush for half price.

Wal-Mart is selling FFXIII-2 for 20$ and that title is (still) eligible for a trade 1 get 1 offer at FutureShop for the new Vita releases next week.

I'm dazzled by these offers, I got MK and Resistance with the t1g1 and I was supposed to go all-in digital with the Vita and now I have all those carts.

yep... I was waiting till today because I wanted to see if they'd add any more games before pre-ordering.

And now... shit. Don't even know if it's worth it anymore. Ugh. This is so depressing.

For anyone planning on picking up Re6 futureshop has the Resident Evil 6 Anthology and Archive listed for 59.99.

These are both supposed to be 89.99 and include the following as download codes in addition to Re6...

PS3 Resident Evil Director's Cut, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, Resident Evil 4 HD, and Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition

360 Resident Evil 4 HD, Resident Evil Code Veronica HD, Resident Evil Degeneration, and Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition

If you want to wait and use a tsilon code with this price I still suggest ordering now and canceling if the price is the same when you get the code. Who knows when they'll correct the price ala Pikmin 3.

I guess they took it down. Either way I'll get the Anthology. What an awesome package!

So you trade one game for the other? Only paying 20? I might bite on this for Gravity Rush.

I just cancelled my 4 game preorder bundle with RE6 and switched it to include this. Thanks!

Also new games are up including Watch Dogs and The Family Guy Game.

Crap, Now I heed to find a 4th game I want. I have ZombieU, Family Guy and Watch Dogs.

Edit: Screw it Last Guardian even though it's listed at $70.

I'm assuming the games will still be up on the E3 page but no buy 3 get 1 free deal, that way tsilon members can find the games that qualify and use the code on checkout

Oh Shit Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition is up for PC

That's the point though... why would they want you to stack them?

It's also probably why the game codes were up until May 25. Lollipop chainsaw is part of the buy 3 thing and there's that Vita game deal going on all month.

I guess. But I can basically get $20 off at BB right now. I dunno!


So yeah, should I be doing my BB preorders one by one? then I can cancel them later or something right? I remember people talking about something like this last year.

It's best to keep them separate, it cuts down on the potential hassle of returning the games you no longer want from an order.

Did they even show much of Horizon at the show?
Click to expand...
A lot of demos.

Horizon has up to 8 player online free-roam, and you can play every event/single player bit of the game with a friend as well, as well as create your usual traditional races with them too. It's not like TDU where random online players populate your world though.

Hard to say which will have "better" online. NFS will probably have more traditional multiplayer if your into that. Plus they'll have cop modes.

The difference is that you get 20 dollars off (plus the dollar or so from taxes) instead of 10 dollars off and 10 dollars of Best Buy Bucks that you have to use in store.

Hrm, that sounds cool. I suppose Forza is probably the deeper game as well, if you care about cars/car porn.

Considering every feature from Forza 4 carries over, that's a pretty huge feature set to start with (you can import liveries, make new ones, 360 refresh per second physics etc.), I would say that's an easy decision.

Though if you like cop modes or I guess more arcadey car handling, I would say NFS would be a better option. I don't think NFS has announced much yet, but I'd hope they have the element of hiding to evade cops in the multiplayer like how it worked in the original Most Wanted.

I ordered 4 games from Best Buy's site yesterday. Horizon, Halo 4, Revengeance and ACIII. Depending on how many tsilon codes each member gets, I want to cancel them all and replace them with FS orders.

Yeah, they're definitely two different games. Sim racing vs Criterion action.

And just pre-ordering 4 games, I noticed how it came to 200 bucks. Jesus that's a lot of money to dump on games. lol

Yeah, I like instant money off.


I preordered on BB for now, and if I get coupons tomorrow then I will cancel and switch some of those.

Simple: No combining discounts. Just preorder what you want now in groups of 4 and cancel them if you get enough $20 off codes later.

I'm kind of wish I had been able to put both the RE6 Anthology and Rayman Legends price mistakes in the same group of 4. Oh well, Hopefully I will find 6 more games I want to preorder.

I used the futureshop bundle for the 2 resident evil bundles since they were listed as 59.99 instead of 89.99 than i also preordered hitman and transformers fall of cybertron, I am hoping they honor the resident evil bundles.

Neither Futureshop nor Best Buy will let me check out some of my pre-ordered games because they have a "Dec 31, 2013" release date, including the Wii U stuff.

My CC expires 06/13 so obviously it should cover these (incl. the Wii U pre-order stuff), and yet I can't check out. What in blazes? I don't feel like getting another CC with a 2014 expiry, and I don't have time to sit on hold :(
