Anyone know if the 15% off accessories at Future Shop applies to PSN cards? I want One Piece...
So futureshop has a trade 2, get a $60 gift card....and Lollipop Chainsaw is already off the list...booooo. As well as EVERY Vita game except uncharted, and EVERY 3DS game except NSMB2.
Urgh. Only game I have to trade in is Battlefield 3. I wouldn't have minded $60 for 2 games like that =[

Yeah it's ready for shipping but the order hasn't been placed with the courier/Canada Post yet. Once it's actually shipped it will indicate as much on your order status page, whether you've been notified via email or not.

Wow, futureshop cancelled my $20 halo 4 order...

They didnt even send me an email
Damn, that sucks man.

Getting Halo 4 early would be the greatest thing ever but I've never personally received anything early from FS so I doubt that'll be the case.

I have a $20 off tsilon code for Blops if anyone wants it. As I would rather be kicked in the nuts than play a Call of Duty game someone else is welcome to it (the code, not kicking me in the gentlemen).

My $10 order's been charged, so they better not cancel it now.

As an Albertan, I don't think that I've ever actually received a game on time from Future Shop. I'm hoping that Halo 4 is the exception!

Is it worth talking to customer service or am i boned?

Well, I think at the VERY least, it's worth talking to them because even if they don't give you the $40 discount back, they should give you a $20 discount. That tsilon code was absolutely legit.

What's FS policy on a game without its box art, I have the game and its game disc working perfectly but I spilled water on the game and basically ruined the box art/cover, so I took it out.

I still don't understand how they make money out of this.

I don't either, especially when they do it on non-game items like the 3DS:XL or (best yet) the Star Wars blu-ray set. Trading in two effectively worthless games and getting a $90 box set was bizarre but awesome.

So much for saving my spare Lollipop for Paper Mario.

Looks like Championship Jockey is finally off the Wii list. I guess they finally brought someone in that knew what they were doing.

I bought two new at EBgames. Traded one for Layton, just going to return the other new non-opened one.

Same thing I did, but now that you mention it I don't think I opened it yet. I was gonna use it on ZOE, but then I got the collectors edition instead.

Futureshop cancels orders on me all the time. I'll be waiting in line for a Wii U, despite putting in an online pre-order minutes after they opened...

They don't. They view the games as a loss leader, which means they figure people will come in, get the game, and then buy other things -- ie "I bought this game, but can my TV really handle it? I'll buy a new one of those, too!"

I can't imagine many people think that way, though, particularly not people being enticed in by insane trade-in deals. I'm not going to complain about it, though, and I just hope they keep doing it for a little while longer.

So i got a response bwck from FS, theyre saying the reason why they cancelled my order was because they had problems harging my credit card...which is bs because i used the same card on assassins creed vita and borderlands 2.

Is it worth escalating it?
 
FS has an online sale this weekend. 10% off pre-orders.

Blops 2 becomes $34 with tsilon code.
Blops Vita becomes $26 with tsilon code.

My bad, Blops Vita is $49.99. So it's $35.

I had a friend with the exact same issue, card had worked fine before this.
