I am afraid to start preordering through the Future Shop deal because I don't want to see how many games I want. It is going to be quite a few.
I'd go for the 20x points and the PS3 being on sale Saturday. Usually when they have 20% off coupons they don't apply to sale items, and it could be another month or more before they do another 20x. The 200 points you get per dollar at 20x are far more important than the 15 extra you can get with the credit card. If you're really that worried about points there's a trick where you can buy Shoppers gift cards to get regular points (those are the only gift cards they sell that give the regular points for whatever strange reason) and then use them for your purchases to get an extra 10 points per dollar, but I wouldn't recommend it for a console purchase if you'd be losing out on an extended warranty that your credit card might provide.
From Futureshop?
I'm thinking I'll do Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom Hearts 3 and Knack but at the same time I know I'm not going to get a PS4 within the first year and those games (assuming for Knack) are not something that hold their value for very long.

Most of the games, then I'll keep what I want and return the rest of just cancel before it's released!

I didn't say they weren't inept, hohoho.
Guess that's why they charged everyone. Shipping them out as needed such that they all reach their destinations by Friday. Mine won't ship till Thursday.

It would be wiser to get Xenoblade Sequel, Fire Emblem X SMT, Final Fantasy XV, and Kingdom Hearts.
But unfortunately, 3/4 of the games I listed haven't been put up yet.

Subete no aware
I wonder if Futureshop will be around in 2020 when two of those three games are released?

Anyone know if the PC version of Lego Marvel Super Heroes has been confirmed as Steamworks or not? Getting it for $20 (when pre-ordering three games) seems like a good deal.

Do we have any updated info on what BB locations will have the Nintendo stuff tomorrow? I didnt care until the games they are demoing actually turned out to be new shit. haha
I know it says 'Edmonton' but there is a bunch of BBs here

It's south common. If you go by this link it says South Edmonton and you can click it which leads you to the map and it gives you the south common location.

I think it's a bug that it changes one of the games to Air shipping or whatever. Click to edit shipping options and choose ground for all. Some of them will show a price next to ground but if all is chosen as ground and you click Continue, it should show then as free shipping after you are finished editing shipping options.

Awesome, thanks. I figured it would be that one, but its good to check!
So I'm getting ready for the preorder stuff, but PXZ is still sold out (I saw it at ONE - COPY - LEFT this afternoon and it was gone by the time I hit "Preorder"), and the following games aren't on the site yet:
- Mario Golf 3DS
- Mario Party 3DS
- Zelda 3DS
- DK Freeze
- Bayonetta 2
- Smash Bros WiiU
I'm pretty sure the last three were already mentioned and Zelda as well, but are the first two going up or do I need to bug Futureshop?

How are you guys assuring the discount for preorder? I don't see it in a lot of games.
The new games that just got added don't have the discount yet. It will probably get fixed later on tonight or tomorrow.

lol, did FS even watch the conferences? Some of these games don't exist or are f2p or aren't coming to the consoles they are listed for.....
Tempted to pre-order a bunch of games that are 2+ years away with a game that comes out in the next 6 months

I can't believe Ducktales is going to be $59.99, that's just such a joke. Nintendo should really buy out FS and BB. Both companies have no idea what to do with themselves or what how the market works, lol
Seriously? What about the digital price?

Isn't Ducktales an XBLA/PSN game?
FS is just putting up every game mentioned at E3 just in case

Yeah they have Killer Instinct on there too even though it's digital only.
It's why I still have an Agent pre-order, I wanted The Walking Dead for $5 with free shipping.
From what I hear it's not digital only.
people doing the listings probably aren't gamers
I used to work at head office. Remember FS listing a game called Yoshi Land on their site? That was me that put that listing up

Thanks!
But, something is wrong... It only gives me a discount of $20 total for the whole 3 games.

Wasn't there a huge thread about that name being hidden in something
It made the front page of IGN, people speculating that it meant the game was leaked to us or something. I wrote the copy for it, purely as a placeholder not intending for it to go live and someone put it live.
We weren't leaked anything, it was just a mistake, which I rectified once I saw the shit storm it kicked off

I don't mess with those huge ass stores like futureshop/bestbuy they always seem super sloppy so I just go to EBgames since it's walking distance but that deal you guys are talking about is pretty good

Flipping between the pages, it seems like there's a lot of multiplat games that are only listed on PS4. The Division, Arkham Origins, Dying Light, Kingdom Hearts 3, Splinter Cell, and UFC off the top of my head. Different people updating the pages?
Edit - even some exclusives are missing, like Kinect Sports and Fantasia (or maybe that was Xbox 360?)

I don't have a Wii U, but I want one at some point, and Nintendo's evergreen policy is tempting me into ordering a handful of games for a console I don't even know when I'm going to buy, so I can get them for $20 off. What to do...
SMT

Actually, it would be wise to get X, and Fire Emblem now because they are going to skyrocket in price later.
