Canadian Gaming Deals and Discussion Thread 3: Pining for the Good Old Days Edition

I ended up going with Killzone, Infamous and GTA 5 for the futureshop deal. It was pretty hard for me to put three titles together in the first place, let alone without the Last of Us since that was my primary interest and at least a PS4 launch title. I don't need the Last of Us day 1 but hopefully I can get something out of customer service for the inconvenience.

Also, Bioshock Infinite is 34.95 on amazon but you do have to pay a few bucks for shipping.

Amazon.ca has opened PlayStation 4 pre-orders again, just a heads up.

Thanks for the heads up. I have one with BB, FS, EB and Amazon. I'm not confident with Amazon or EB as they're second round pre-orders. I'm really hoping they let people know well enough in advance if they're not getting one so I can figure out which one will net me the PS4 day one.

For the people that preordered the PS4 on Amazon.ca in the first round or preorders, what does your shipping estimate say?

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.

So, MGSV and FFXV are nowhere in sight, and Planetside is priced at $60 (a god damn F2P).... what a pitiful joke. I was really hoping to bundle the last The Division with MGSV and FFXV but FS's product selection division has other bright ideas like being stupendously incompetent.

Here are the current orders (got lucky):

Yep, I did it for Ninja Shiten 3 (which I pre ordered during E3 2011 under the same offer)

Yea, I wasn't expecting a prompt response. FFXV forms the third game for the last pre-order for me. I'd be extremely disappointed if they can't get their preorder catalogue right by tomorrow since FFXV was shown off at E3.

Perfect.

AS for the Amazon.ca orders, on their website it says the product will be released on November 30, which is more likely to change.

So the shipping estimates don't matter now as they will most likely be changed too.

Great to hear that MGS5 is coming tomorrow! Hope they'll put the PS3 version there too, as I sadly don't think I'll have to money for a PS4 this year. As long as this version isn't too gimped, it should be alright.

I also put in an amazon order. Not too impressed with futureshop pulling the Last of Us... I will either cancel it or sell it.

Can anyone ask them on Twitter if they can add the current-gen version of MGS5? I don't have a twitter account. :/

I'm not sure I want to keep the xbox one pre-order yet. Seems a bit excessive to keep it just for a handful exclusives but like many of you I've chosen to pre-order now and decide later.

I still need to figure out how to work in Destiny and Mirror's edge.

my preorder list is terrifying right now. i put it all into a spreadsheet so that i don't forget about orders at different websites.

it's currently sitting at $1600, not including the PS4 preorder and peripherals. i'm definitely going to have to cancel/return some lol. i just wanted to preorder everything i had an interest in, so that i don't pay full price for games.

Since we all seem to be a frugal bunch...anyone else having a harder time justifying pre-ordering the xbox one copy of a third party game; knowing we can't trade it back in?

Seems to work fine for me.

Yeah, it worked for me too at that point. It's once the order has been confirmed and you want to check it on FS's website that the price is wrong. The invoice I got was correct.

Futureshop replied, they said that the shown price was incorrect and they told me that the invoice is correct... so everything should be fine.

Wow - just realized I've racked up $1000 in games today with more to come tomorrow once they update the site. Well, at least I know where most of my games are going to be coming from in the next year or so.

Order 1:
Link Between Worlds
Pokemon X
Bravely Default

Order 2:
Pikmin 3
Wonderful 101
Super Mario 3D World
Windwaker HD

Order 3:
Super Smash Bros U
Legend of Zelda U
X
Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem

First is all 3DS stuff I'm very certain of. I don't even have a wii u yet, so I need to make that decision before I start receiving bunches of games for it. The first order might get cancelled pretty soon, since it's all 2013 stuff, but the second order is all likely to come later, so I have a little while to think about that one.

I only kept the 3DS games I KNOW I want, they often go on sale for $29.99 anyways, I can definitely wait for Mario&Luigi and Yoshi. They come out at a bad time, I have other games I want during that time.

Will they be putting Ace Attorney up at all for this deal?

Man, some people went really overboard with FS pre-orders. I feel like I did as well considering I pre-order maybe one game a year.

Pokemon Y
Mario & Luigi Dream Team
Bravely Default Flying Fairy

Set 2:
The Legend of Zelda U
The Last of Us
Tales of Xilla

Set 3:
X
Legend of Zelda Link Between Worlds
Super Mario 3D World

What I'd like for a 4th set:
Final Fantasy XV
Kingdom Hearts 3
Fire Emblem X SMT

Damn man. I thought I was going hard at $1300, and that's including my PS4 pre-order and games from last years e3 that haven't come out yet. How many games is that?

This is the best promotion, especially for the handheld games. Bioshock infinite was my last game from the original futureshop e3 deal in 2011 so this is coming just in time. Up to 21 games so far.
