Er...did South Park get stealth announced for PS4/Xbone? It's not even in the E3 trailer but Futureshop has it listed.

All right, MGS5 and FFXV and we would be set. It's just 2 of the biggest if not the biggest games of E3...

I was wondering this too, I couldn't see where FS came to this conclusion.
Is there a release date for FF:XV yet?
They did the same thing with Rayman Legends.

Don't think so, would fit right there with my Futureshop Last Guardian pre-order!
Do it in a 3 pack with Agent!

How does FS handle orders with multiple pre-orders that have different release dates?

It's up on ebgames.ca, along with Ys and Killer is Dead, but that's the only place I've seen it so far.
90% of the time they will correct the release date and every game will ship by itself in time to arrive on release date. 10% of the time two games with identical placeholder dates will "get stuck together" and the system will try and wait for the second game to release before they ship them and you have to phone Futureshop to get it corrected.
You can place your order, then call Futureshop once you get your new card and tell them to change the payment info. I did that once with Best Buy for an E3 preorder special and there were no problems.

So for those of us who pre-ordered the new consoles online or in store, how do we know that we are guaranteed a system on day 1?

In-Store is pretty much a guarantee, online (from how it's been in the past) seems totally random. I've seen people order 4 days before and get games/systems before people that ordered 6 months in advance.
you never know unless you know a manager of said store, they are the only ones who know how many units have been allocated to that store and that number my diminish or increase during the upcoming months, your chance of getting one earlier rather than later is directly proportional to how fast you were able to preorder when the preorders went live on said establishment and the number of units that will be available for that place at launch.
They stop taking pre-orders in-store. Not sure about online.
That was the first thing I asked at EB, and I was told that the pre-orders are for day 1.

As tempting as this Futureshop deal is, I think I'll hold off using it for one new release for launch day of both new platforms. As I'm locked in at more than one place for pre-orders of both Consoles, I can totally see myself with the consoles and nothing to play. Based on experience, and what i've seen here previously, there's a very good chance that Futureshop will not get the games delivered to Calgary on Xbox One and PS4 launch day.
Am I wrong and should I just bite the bullet and place all of my game orders?

If you have the system and the games haven't come in the mail, go to FS and buy the games. When the other copies come in the mail, return those to the store using the store versions' receipt.
Regardless, sometimes launch games release a week before a console.
Edit: I do this with pretty much every Pokemon release, since the online preorder usually has a deal but I want them on the Sunday they release.

So dissapointed PES 2014 is not up for preorder. It's not like Konami is hiding that game at e3 either.
Thats the thing, the system won't let me pre-order
Just change the EXP to 2016, you can edit payment details after the order is complete.

I noticed Arkham Origins is up too, also not announced AFAIK. I'm strongly guessing some of these games will not get ported, at least not this year.

Yeah that's what I thought.
As long as the online order go through, I guess I will be fine.
Edit: nope, got an error about not being able to process my CC.

It is, you just have to search for it.

It is if you search for it, it's jut not on the page for some reason. Same with the Zelda games for Wii U.
Weird, My credit card expires in November and I just changed the EXP and it worked. Make sure you keep the EXP month the same as it is currently.
I was planning on just making one 3 game preorder at FS but ended up with a second when I saw the games that were added since yesterday.
Now I have:
The Division
BF4
Zelda: LBW
and
Thief
Watch Dogs
The Bureau
I can't pass up those savings...
On the PS4 front, I'm concerned. I want to do a preorder, but I can see not getting one on launch day as I've delayed a day to get it done. Plus I will be saving and collecting FS gift cards to pay for the console, so I don't want to have to wrestle online with the hassle of replacing my CC with them. But if I don't, the odds of getting one seem slim...?
It's been so long since we had these major console launches I don't know how it will go.

Posting again, b/c it's too good.
I just do it because it's easier for me to keep track of instead of just one huge order with 21 games on it.
If you're only ordering 5, then one makes more sense.

It's easier to manage if you need to cancel something or whatever. There's no particular reason to do it.

I ended up pre-ordering 18 Wii U and 3DS games from the Futureshop sale. What has this place done to me?
That is such a sweet fucking deal. I am buying Friday, finishing Sunday.
No sleep. No food. No DRM.

Just cleared my cart and added all of my games again and I noticed that The Last of Us is NO LONGER available to pre order. FUCK!! I didn't place my order yet.
Yeah, The Last Of Us seems to be sold out.

Good call - I'll probably do that.
One other question though, if my game orders have big variations in release dates, will Futureshop send the games as they're released? I'd hate to think that they'd hold an order for months.
Probably an obvious question but I've never done this deal in previous years - thanks!
Either that or they just stopped the pre orders because they're starting to ship out to people already.
