Yep and they've said they'd update it tonight. Also, Titan Fall is expected to be a timed exclusive, so I'm not surprised it popped up from Futureshop.
Ah, I wasn't aware.
I just tried adding second son and I didn't get any discount. Perhaps, I should heed your word and try tomorrow then. Thanks.
yeh iunno what to make of it.
When it's sold out and they don't restock, I will cry a river. Guess I'll have to put down the money for something else. Problem is that pretty much everything else I want, I want on day 1. Too much unknowns for shipping from BB/FS so good chance whatever I order I won't receive 1st day.
another dumb question; this is all free shipping, correct?

Really good deal that might run out shortly.
Amazon.ca has the entire rocky blu ray box set for 25 dollars, FS has it for 30. Got FS to price match amazon.ca, even though the girl i was talking to didnt realise that they shouldnt have considering the item doesnt come with free shipping as it is 24.99 (they are supposed to factor it in accordign to the faq)
so yeah, youre mileage may vary, but 25 for all 5 rocky movies (not actually including rocky v, obviously) is a good deal considerign they are 10 a piece individually. Got it as my birthday gift to myself, yo adrian!

Can someone give me more information on 50% extra credit towards XB1 / PS4 when you trade in 360/PS3?

Do you know why? Should I just preorder them and see if they fix it?
Can you even pre-order in-store (and get the deal)? I went and they said no, it's online only.
Man.
I wonder which game I want to be the "sacrifice".
Don't really care if I can't day 1 Rayman Legends and Sonic Lost Worlds so that's two. Need another one...
My plan was/is to get a gift card and use that for the deals online.
Just don't pick a Nintendo game since they like Sunday releases. Those are the only ones I didn't get day one for obvious reasons.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing too. I'll make my big ass order in the morning - I'll try to avoid games I think will be later than E3 next year in case of better deals

Console buy guide:
If you want a no hassle exchange extended warranty, just use Costco.
If you want RZ GAMER POINTS from Best Buy for future purchases, like games, use BEST BUY.
If you want nothing for buying the console, buy it from Futureshop/EB.
Games buy guide:
If you want RZ point for a total of $60 in RZ points, buy 3 $60 games from Best Buy.
If you want a direct discount of $60 from the total of 3 games purchase, buy 3 $60 from Futureshop.
If you ask me, MGS V isn't going anywhere, it will be there in masses, you should focus on Kingdom Hearts 3, Final Fantasy XV, X(enoblade sequel), FE X SMT, Bayo2.
Okay, discounts make no sense. I don't recall FE X SMT being in the direct, however X was, and it's not there. WTF.

I assume they'll just fix all the new stuff tomorrow.

Yeah - Just wait until tomorrow.
ok thanks.
Grabbed my PS4 on amazon.ca last night.
Kinda tempted to grab 3 titles I will very likely buy anyway, I mean why not with the discounts, but I sorta hate committing myself to games and the whole pre-order thing.
I've also never bought online from BB. Do people generally have good experiences getting games in a decent release window from them without much headache? What service do they ship with?

Sounds like there is a limited supply of the 'reward zone' orders, and these would get priority when shipping out the consoles.
You think they just havent been activated yet? Any chance they are limited in stock so I should watch for them to go up?

Pre-ordered my PS4 the second it went live last night on Amazon. Hopefully will get me a unit come launch day.
And whats up with stock number? Do all games have this? I was gonna wait til tomorrow to start pre-ordering but if they're gonna run out of stock of pre-orders I guess I'll do some tonight.

It's only games that have been allocated. All the other stuff is just in the system, so I can't imagine that they'd arbitrarily stop taking preorders. More likely, if they do run out, there will be some delay and you'll get like a 10 dollar gift certificate like they always do when that happens.

Canada Post, UPS sometimes out of the blue.
Both will leave your PS4 at the door, so watch out.
Thanks for the advice. New to this deal. Do you or anyone know....can i do 2 seperate orders on 2 cards to get 6 games cheaper? That should eb no prob right?
Appreciate the help guys.
Sacrifice? If you're looking for a "filler" game, you should just add a game that is definitely not coming out. FS will then cancel the game down the line when they discover "TitanFall (PS4)", Killer Instinct (It's F2P) etc aren't coming out.
That's assuming those errors remain tomorrow.

You can do as many orders as you want, as long as 3 games are in the order for the discount to be applied.

Grrr, I got approved for the Shoppers Optimum MasterCard, but it's not going to ship to me until next week. So eventually I'll get a 20% off coupon along with 15,000 bonus points and +15 points per dollar on every purchase, BUT I'm going to miss 20x points this Saturday.
I need to buy a PS3 this month, but I don't know if I should just buy one at the 20x event, or wait and use my 20% off coupon. Bah.

Pre-ordered my PS4 in store @ Best Buy. I don't trust Future Shop or Best Buy to ship it in time or for day 1 release. I hope the store will honor day and date, don't know how they couldn't! Today is the first in-store Pre order day, so I think I should be near the top of the list.
My PS3 didn't ship until the last week of 2006 - ordered well before that on Future Shop, came out in November 2006.

Don't let me feed your paranoia. Things have gotten better, especially with getting games on release dates, on both sites. I just live 5 minutes away from a Best Buy, so it works for me.
I personally believe they can't and won't he able to ship consoles early to honour day and date release - they can't control the mail stream like an Apple can, they are the only company I have experience with that can honour getting it on release day.
You also can double down - Pre order in store and return the one you get in the mail if it does ship in time. The in store Pre-Order requires a non-refundable $50 deposit.
I'd be more worried about the shit packaging BB/FS use. I'd be terrified to order a console from them online.
Was tempted to pick up a couple of copies of MGS Legacy Collection from FS for $33 each but I'd rather pay $49.99 each and get some MGS posters from EB. This should be a no brainier for people with a brain. Get it from FS! I am the 1%.
In terms of PS4. I won't be getting one until well into 2014. There are way too many amazing PS3 games coming out and I need to get a PSP2 first. Gran Turismo 6 = at least 1000 hours of gameplay for me

Must have been the dev/pub at e3. You do realize that both Best Buy and Futureshop have sent several lucky reps to E3 to take down the games, and put them on the sites, right?
Well, yeah, but they made mistakes on games last year too. They listed physical releases of Jet Set Radio Vita and Tomb Raider PC that never came out. In fact, they've had a Jet Set Radio Vita game listed on the Vita preorder page this whole E3 for some reason, which seems suspect to me.

PS4 Games don't mention the discount. Can I add it to cart and buy it, and call to get it fixed? I think that worked last time.

Not only that, the current page is rife with errors: "The Dark Sorcerer" was repeatedly stated to be a tech demo only and not in any way a game, "Titan Fall" is actually one word and was also confirmed to be an Xbox exclusive (and even if it's timed only, they haven't announced anything and so it's premature), and Planetside is almost certainly free-to-play (also it's Planetside 2 that's coming for PS4). It's not just the PS4 page, either--the Xbox One page shows World of Tanks, which not only is a free-to-play game, but is also coming to 360 only.
And that's ignoring all the spelling mistakes (Mirros Edge 2 u gise).
