They will honor it, they got emails in from HQ telling them its valid on those games, and that a receipt is not required.
Also, the promotion doesn't start until launch.

So my wife brought me up to speed on Shop.ca and ebates. I haven't pre ordered any games for my XBone nor my PS4.
I had seen that they had Killzone and Ghost, so I decided to give them a shot and place an order. When everything was said and done, I ended up spending $45 for both games...
God, why didn't she tell me about this sooner!?

Went to the king George Surrey future shop best buy. The line at future shop was gone when I came by (2:30) but at best buy the lineup is ~100 people. There isn't a separate line with for us reservation master race. Oh well, got to wait in line.
Wtf is wrong with best buy. I wish I reserved at fs.
My reservation was held, and it was a breeze picking it up tonight compared with the crazy lines this morning. I don't think they had near enough games to satisfy the crowd thanks to allowing people to trade in up to 3 games at a time, and I felt bad for the people at the end of the line waiting so long with little hope of anything remaining. The Wii U games were oddly hard to come by at the store I went to.

Hopefully he continued to thin out that fucker's reservations to one or, better yet, zero.
That's awesome. The clerk at my FS was pretty cool too.
That's awesome, I'll have my wife trade in one of the old, worthless games we have for Ass Creed IV for the Wii U!
Fuck you Winnipeg trade in laws.Now I'm sad.
Isn't there a Best Buy on Regent? (My guess it that was an oversight

Went to best buy, got all three for PS3! I have one question though. My BF3 is the limited edition. If I redeem the code for PS3, will I still receive the China Riskng expansion for PS4 when it releases?

For those who went to BestBuy Cambie, do they let you get 1 copy of each game, or just 1 copy of 1 game?
Yeah I want to know too when I finish class at 4 lol.
Sorry if it's been covered, but apparently this is a generic code and can be used by anyone....
RFD reporting success at most stores, though some stores might want it printed out. Check the RFD thread for details: http://forums.redflagdeals.com/ebgames-ps4-knack-20-off-coupon-1402517/
Also sorry if a repost.
Thanks for this - guess I'll have to do the printout though as it's not working for me online.

That's where I went. They are enforcing one game per customer. Meaning you can only leave the store with one new game in your hand. I went with two people, which is how I ended up with all three.
Really annoyed with Futureshop.
Went in earlier today to pick up my reserve. Upon seeing the line, I ask a girl working there what would happen once the 24 hours were up. She says as long as I come back before 9PM it's fine since they need to keep it for the full day.
So I went back at 6PM. Sure enough, they cancelled my reserve and sold it off. Complained to the floor manager, but not surprisingly, nothing to be done. Hour of driving for nothing. Thanks Futureshop.

I traded in my PS3 COD:Ghosts for the PS4 version this afternoon. I was only charged $11.30. According to the EB rep, the PS4 versions of AC4 and BF4 won't be available until Tuesday.
Which Futureshop was this?
Futureshop on Ogilvie in Ottawa.

So any Toronto FS or BB have copies of BF4?
Bay and Dundas Best Buy ran out of PS3 copies of Battlefield 4 after like an hour. I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Face it Tiger..

Better find your way to Peterborough or Belleville, it's the probably the only way you won't strike out.

I'm at work and my ISPU will just expire while I'm trapped here
This thread is breaking my heart -_-

The girl told me it will expire at closing. I sort of doubt that but that's what they say.
Stores enforcing the one game per person could easily still have games left. We were leaving with three games each and were just starting to run out after three hours.
I asked as soon as I walked in if I could just grab my reserve, but of course not. That's fine, I probably wouldn't have thought to try for two games then.

That really sucks, I would complain to the head office. Actually, I'm probably going to be complaining as well(for an unrelated reason).
I saw them for sale at the HWY 7/Warden Future Shop last weekend. I didn't pay attention if they were 1st or 3rd party accessories though because I didn't care.
No chance
So the extra content codes for AC4 and Ghosts ("60 mins of content" and the map), if I use them, will I get them on PS4 as well? Otherwise I'm just going to leave em as is for the dude who buys em off EB after I trade it in.
I was late to my ISPU by 3-4 hours and it was still there, I guess it just depends on the people working there.

Best Buy and Futureshop. All North American vertical stands are third party officially licensed.
Won't bother then, thanks. Just hope cambie didnt screw me over

Today was absolutely insane. Went to a FS in Scarborough right before opening and the lineup was around the parking lot. After 40 minutes when I could finally enter the store the Manager said they didn't have enough for everyone and was sold out but they were getting a new shipment. After another 2 hours of waiting a clerk went around the line asked if anyone reserved. I should have asked before but since the lineup was huge and they said they were sold out in store I thought they took reserves off. I still had to stand in line though regardless. I got lucky. I have no idea if they got a new shipment or not. I hope they did because there were well over 100+ in and outside the store
This is an experience I'll never want to go through again. I rather have paid the $60

Most places aren't taking reservations any more at all.

Is the ebgames promotion 360 to xbox one only? No ps3-ps4 upgrade?

Well shit.
No one's taking reserves anymore.
RFD hoarders can die in a fire. Fuck those guys.
