God damn that Futureshop deal is crazy. I don't even want any of those games, but I'm thinking about bringing in NHL13 or that stupid Dead or Alive beach volleyball game. Couldn't I just resell the games? It's like free money.

Pretty sweet deal. Of course, Winnipeg delivers once again... /sarcasm (Manitoba not eligible for the promotion).

Enjoy that insane deal you bastards.

Yeah, I know it's not a totally moral thing to do, but I'm gonna be selfish just this once so that I can get a PS4 with no worries. If I get the copies and I don't manage to sell them, I'll probably just upgrade them to a next gen version.

Stuff like that is really douchy. There are tons of people that would actually make use of those games..

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.

You mean Dead or Alive: Porn edition?
 
Weird question relating to tomorrow's FS/BB tradeinathon:

My brother and I share the same PSN/SEN account. Both of our PS3's are linked. Both of our PS4's will be under that same account too. We're both doing the promo thing tomorrow too.

So let's say we're both getting the PS3 version of Assassin's Creed tomorrow (which we are). Both copies of the game come with an upgrade code (that will cost $10).

However, since we're both on the same PSN/SEN account, does that mean we only have to buy one $10 upgrade, and it will be available to both of us in the PS Store? Or does each physical system need to have its own upgrade code?

Both of you can download it from the PSN store, you will need to assign one your PS4s as a home console, on that one you can play the game using any account, on the other PS4 though you will have to be signed in to the account you downloaded the game of!

Won't lie; I'm planning to trade-in five games tomorrow just so I can turn around and sell them. Would help me so much for the PS4 purchase...
Who is going to buy these games after today? Even if there is a buyer, you are going to have to compete with dozens of other people trying to unload their games. The price is probably going to hit $20.

Unless everyone hates the new call of duty, which is possible, the price will recover. You just have to wait out the early rush of people who will flip their copies for any price.

So confused, FS FAQ says Markham is excluded; FS Trade-in Games page says its not.

Markham has done trade-in games this whole time.

WHAT IS THE TRUTH!?

Jesus. Rolled into the SJ FS at 930 and the line was around the building. People with blankets and holding 2-6 Xbox games.

Just kept rolling, hope they honor my reservation.

I decided not to go pick up my games at FS. I remember the last time I went to trade a game to pay for one (SC:Blacklist) it took almost an hour. It was madness.

christ. I don't know why I expected any different. I don't want any of these games enough to wait for more than 30 minutes.

I hope there's a separate line for those that have reservations.

I just want to pick up the godawful cod for my bro.
 
My store is already open and stocks says there is still some CoD PS3 and XBOX in french left, I will go check since they work in the trade 2 for 60$ card. Those games are the only one left in the whole city, thank you french game nobody wants to play!

At Heartland Best Buy massive line for this year in. Xbox One is here being setup.

Damn I hope AC4 is still here. If not, I'll have to settle for Ghosts D:

Setting up the X1 here at the futureshop in Ottawa West as well.

Edit: what if this is an MS sponsored event ;)
 
God damn it wraps around to the escalator area?!

Yeah, and a good portion of the line is inside the store, too.

Haven't heard anything about stock. I think I'm going to stick around until 11 and if the line inside is bad too I'll probably just leave. I wasn't even planning on getting Ghosts or AC and I already own Battlefield.

Went back to the FS parking lot at 11:00. No lines outside. Walked inside line was 200 people long. Turned right back around.

Guy in the parking lot said he got the last BF4 and they were almost out of the others. He had been waiting in line since 730am.

I said I had a reservation and I'm just gonna call later and see if they are honoring the reservations. His face was hilarious. "Reservation? I could have reserved this??"
