What are the chances I can step into a Gamestop/EB Games come Friday evening and a copy of Last of Us will still be available for me to purchase?

There should be tons of copies around. If not at EB/Gamestop, there are other options like Walmart, FutureShop and Best Buy.

Unless, you want to get in on that EB deal where you pay $1 for each day for the game until you trade in like one of the member mentioned in the last page.

So I preordered a batch of my first next-gen games: killzone SF, battlefield and watch dogs. What a good feeling :') Will probably get a day1 copy of KZ and return the futureshop copy if I don't have it by then, I need KZ it to be my first taste of the ps4 lol.
And another batch of vita games, I need more physical copies.

I'm annoyed that a bunch of games that are multi-platform are only available for one of the consoles. Does anyone have FF Versus 13 pre-ordered from previous years? I'm curious if it's still in their system somewhere.

I haven't even pre-ordered any games for the PS4 yet. I figured I'd keep it to one game, then go from there. Or I download it off PSN if it's made available there.

I'm leaning towards Watch Dogs.

I shouldn't expect anything, but do those pre-orders include the potential pre-order bonuses? Like the Dragon Crown and Kingdom Hearts HD artbooks?

The artbooks is a "while quantities last" sort of thing. When I got my dark souls and halo 4 pre-orders from previous years I got all of the associated pre-order bonuses.

Either that or they just stopped the pre orders because they're starting to ship out to people already.

Yeah.. I'm in the same boat. That's pretty frustrating for me since I was waiting for PS4 games to update with the deal and in store pick up is not an option for me. Plus, I'd obviously like to save a few bucks. However, I sent them an email early this morning and haven't heard anything back yet.

Total count: 15

I might add another order if Evil Within/MGS/FF get added to their database for PS4. The great thing about this deal is that it requires no obligations from the buyer up until the release date(s).

Pre-ordered:

Super Mario 3D World

COD Ghosts

Pokemon X

Not nearly as big a haul as others, but I'm happy with it

My credit card's going to expire at the end of this month. Is it going to be a problem if I order these games on that card?

Also, how do I check which games are eligible for the E3 preorder deal?

Each game that qualifies says so on it's product page. For EXP problems, just change the EXP year to 2016, that should work.

This deal is feeling quite expensive but I would've bought all this stuff anyways - seems like one of the few ways to actually get discounts on Nintendo titles.

Preordered Wonderful 101, Fire Emblem x SMT and Mario Kart 'cause bayonetta 2 wasn't up yesterday. I see it and Smash are now so I might put in another round of 3 preorders along with X. Can always change my mind in the year between now and then.

Also finally decided to get a PS3 so preordered Last of Us, Dragon's Crown and MGS Legacy...along with a PS3 over at best buy. Neither TLOU or my PS3 have shipped yet but hoping they get here by Friday. Future shop has typically sent all my preorders a day early but I was super late to the party this time.

Edit: TLOU was periodically selling out yesterday. Just wait and it might go back up.
 
S

SMT

this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
Still waiting for a Futureshop Final Fantasy XV PS4 pre-order.

My second list would be FFXV, Pokémon X, Zeruda 3DS.

I'm not going to get TLOU until GOTY, which will have all the dlc, if critics are raving about it, it's a given.

Preordered a PS4 at the Queen/Spadina EB. Told me I was about 20th in line and would definitely have one on day one.

Gonna preorder a bunch of shit from Futureshop for the 33% discount but I doubt I'll end up buying half of them in the end. Wish I knew what the official launch titles were.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (PlayStation 4)

Ryse Son of Rome (Xbox One) - Day 1 Edition1
Halo (Xbox One)
Battlefield 4 (Xbox One)

Titanfall (Xbox One)
Quantum Break (Xbox One)

Wheeew! I need to take a breather after that!

I'll more than likely hold off on MGS5 as I usually try to get Limited Edition versions of Kojima titles. I'll be getting it on PS4 though as I will for most offline, 3rd party titles.

[edit 3 more!]

Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem (Nintendo Wii U)
Super Mario 3d World (Nintendo Wii U)
Bayonetta 2 (Nintendo Wii U)

Is anybody else having problems with their orders? I'm trying to order 4 copies of Gran Turismo 6. Everything's okay during the checkout (80$ off), but when I check out my order on their website (My account/My orders), the price has gone back to normal.

At first I thought it was because I was ordering GTAV. They just changed it so that it doesn't work with this deal. However, it's still bugged.

I haven't been having any issues and I just put through an order for 3 Wii U games. I've been ordering in packs of 3 though (since that's the point that triggers the largest discount ) - not sure if that makes a difference.

I've cancelled and restarted the order 2 times already, to no success. The invoice I got by e-mail says $159, but the website says $243 for the same order number.

I just sent an e-mail to FS, hope it gets fixed soon.

Just a heads up for you guys, dunno if it was mentioned already but there are 2 listings for 3DS for "Smash Bros" and "Super Smash Bros" on the FS site.
I told FS on twitter and they got my message, but just incase this might be an issue for anyone's pre-orders, thought I'd pass the info on. I cancelled and redid one of my orders with the "Super Smash Bros" 3DS lisiting with the new logo just incase ^^;

So Futureshop tweeted that The Last of Us is indeed sold out, and is not available anymore for the pre order deal. :(

Sucks so bad, as I had to wait for them to fix their error with the deal applying to certain PS4 games, and when they did TLOU was already sold out. Full price TLOU here I come. :(

Ugh! SO many already!!

Pikmin 3
Wonderful 101
Mario 3D World

Pokemon Y
Zelda 3DS
Batman 3DS

Yoshi New Island
Bravely Default
Mario and Luigi

Smash Bros 3DS
Smash Bros Wii U
Bayonetta 2

Yoshi Land Wii U
Donkey Kong Wii U
Sonic Lost Worlds Wii U


And Im still not sure what I want to preorder for next gen stuff. Do I just want to keep playing everything I can on PC? or should I get a bunch of PS4? What about Xbox One, the issues it has arent something that effects me as much as they suck for other people, so do I want to get one of those at launch too?

TOO MANY CHOICES!!

also, im bummed I missed out on Last of Us on FS, I could do it on BB and get points instead, but I hate points.

Talking to the girl at EB she said it will likely be sold out. Apparently pre-orders weren't all that strong, but they started flooding in as soon as reviews came out so they will be understocked.

So are you guys pre ordering in groups or just one group for all the games you're ordering? Also, yeah, sucks that TLOU isn't available now.

Brutal. That's too bad they blew it on that one. I'll probably wait on the game until it's down in the 30 dollar range now.
