Jesus Christ you people are rich and nuts
My haul is Pokemon X, Y and Puppeteer for $90.
why am I so broke

I'm obviously only speaking for myself here, but the games I ordered cover like 85% of my planned gaming-related purchases over the next year, so it makes sense for me to order them all at once for 33% off. If I had to pay the money now, there's no way I'd be able to afford it, but paying $500 over the course of a year or so for 12 newly released games really isn't too bad.
Plus, a lot of people probably ordered games that they were unsure about, since Future Shop requires zero monetary obligation from the buyer. My fifth and final order, for example, consists of 3 PS4 games, but I probably won't be buying a PS4 until mid-to-late 2014 at the absolute earliest, so there's a good chance I'll end up cancelling it.

The second one is a gift!We're nuts? You're the one buying both pokemon games
That does make sense. I guess im just not sure about what I want or if I want any next gen stuff any time soon. Preordering and canceling does take the weight off though.
I will look back on this moment and kick myself for not jumping on this deal
Was Yoshi's Island a RZ qualifier? I thought it was just Dream Team, Pokemon, and Batman for 3DS. Lol, the BB site isn't even working right now. The BB offer wasn't even a bad offer, but FS did so much better in so many ways with their sale this year.
They don't charge until it ships so I just order a bunch of stuff that I might buy because this will probably be the best deal until next E3.

I actually drop over $1000 on this sale every year but I don't open the ones that have bad word of mouth. If you don't want a game you can return it to the store for a full refund even after its shipped to you.
I'm just going to assume it is. I ordered all three titles from FS as well just in case. If the points aren't added within the 36 days I'll bitch at BB and probably get them added with little to no hassle like I've done in the past. They're pretty good with adjusting RZ points.

"Up to $20 off"?
How do you know how much per title?

See thread title. 33%.

It's only 20 if the game is 60. It is lower the cheaper the game.
I assume this ends at 12AM PDT, so anyone looking to get on it should do it now.
$59.99 --> $39.99
$49.99 --> $33.33
$39.99 --> $26.66
$29.99 --> $19.99
[This is if you have 3+ games added to that order]

It's been linked in this thread somewhere. It's definitely on the star.

They had a Trade 1 deal this week for Animal Crossing, but that was apparently just for the game, not a gift card.
Unrelated: EB Games has a deal where trading in 5 games with a minimum $8 TIV gets you $100 towards a PS4/Xbone.

Ok I give in I'm buying an Xbox One as well. This futureshop deal is far 2 good to resist.
If it wasn't for this sale on games I would have waited a year. Now my list is complete, ill post my complete list sorted by platform when I get home.
Hey what are the chances Nintendo drops the Premium to $249 this year? Nonono I shouldn't, I have enough games coming already...bahhh

Thanks! This is going to be brutal.
You're very welcome!
Yes, the pain/cost will be excruciating. However, best to come to terms with this early-on. It will only lessen the financial scars.

Put in two orders, mostly for the big name Nintendo titles that never go on sale and a few gifts. (Project X Zone was sold out though, which sucks.)
I wanted to order more, but the other games I wanted I think might get special editions and/or pre-order bonuses so I held off.

Yeah, you can change your card and not effect the order.
I had one issue with last year's haul. For some reason I couldn't change the card, so I had to call in and get them to manually do it.
not sure which console i'll go with yet so i gotta cover my ground. i ended up with:
PS4
order 1:
Ass Creed 4
Watch Dogs
Battlefield 4
order 2:
MGSV
Final Fantasy 15
Destiny
XBone
order 1:
Ass Creed 4
Watch Dogs
Battlefield 4
Dead Rising 3
order 2:
MGSV
Titanfall
Destiny
order 3:
Crimson Dragon
Final Fantasy 15
GTAV(360)
first order for launch, second for 2014 titles. had to boot ff15 to the third order to get GTAV for $40. I have a feeling that game wont be out until late 2014 so i could cancel the rest of the order after gtav ships and re-order ff next E3.

Ended up switching my Xillia order to Tearaway at the last minute. As much as I want to support localized Tale of, I think I'll enjoy Tearaway more overall. I also realized I'd been charged $18 shipping on one of my orders and redid it. Glad I double-checked before the FS deal ended.
Twelve games:
Tales of Xilia (PS3)
Legend of Zelda (3DS)
Super Smash Bros (Wii U)
Pikmin 3 (Wii U)
Mario Kart 8 (Wii U)
Super Mario 3D World (Wii U)
Lightning Returns (PS3)
Mario and Luigi: Dream Team (3DS)
Wind Waker HD (Wii U)
Pokemon X (3DS)
Pokemon X (3DS)
Pokemon Y (3DS)
not too bad, think the total was like 400 dollars

PS3 - FFXIV, Puppeteer, Dragons Crown
PSV - Dragons Crown (double-dip)

I'll probably end up getting all the Wii U stuff at retail since I'm not sure when I'll get a Wii U.
$1160-ish. Goddamn.

Is it still possible to swap a game you preordered? I want to switch AC4 with Watch Dogs.

We think alike brother. I've done the exact same thing.
Sadly, none in Canada. I know that Best Buy in States is having a sale for $40.
Anyone with a PS3 that didn't pre-order Puppeteer is a bad person. WIth this deal the game is $27. Twenty Seven Canadian Dollars. Buy it people.

So my orders have gone like this: Playstation 4, Destiny (PS4), The Witcher 3 (PS4), inFamous Second Son (PS4), Watch_Dogs (PS4), Tearaway (Vita), Mario and Luigi Dream Team (3DS), Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds (3DS), Saints Row IV (360), GTA V (360)
I'm just trying for games that are maybe likely to come out this year on systems that I do, or will, own.
I just decided on the Destiny, Witcher 3, and infamous pre-order in the last hour or so.

I had forgot to add NHL14 to the list of games, so I had to make another order:
Order #6: NHL 14 (PS3), Mad Max (PS4) & Deep Down (PS4)
The last two are added because I like the property (Mad Max) and I liked the first trailer (Deep Down), but could easily see myself cancelling the order before either of them ship.
I've got 3 pre-orders for a PS4 down (Amazon.ca, Futureshop Online, and Microplay in store), so hopefully I'll be able to get one on launch day, but I also don't want to be charged for all three. May have to cancel one of those online ones.

I guess the FS deal expired before it hit midnight here on the west coast as my order is not showing any discounts currently so I only got 6 games preordered. Hopefully Tsilon comes through with some $20 off codes.

As did I. I was spacing out my orders so I didn't see it all add up at once but I guess it bit me in the ass.
Maybe we will hear about any Tsilon perks soon since this deal is done.

The only game I couldn't preorder with the offer was MGS Legacy because it is OOS
Other than that I have about 30 games preordered which can get me through the first two years of next gen

Is it true that PS4 preorder is dominating till now?
I'm not trying to make a big argument, I just know very few preordering Xbone and looking at this topic the majority is going with PS4

Isn't that futureshop deal essentially 3 for the price of 2? Why aren't they advertising it as that? It sounds way better
It's 4 for the price of 3. (3*33% discount on 3 full-price titles = 100% discount on a 4th title) Which is... kind of a weird thing to advertise, not THAT good. 33% off everything sounds better, imho.
