I think the X1 deserves a new thread, considering it is Amazon.
EDIT: Can't anymore, fixed already. So to all those who already placed the order, might be honored.

Already says preparing shipment and it seems that my CC has already been charged.

How'd you pull that off? Should I be ordering from amazon instead?
Amazon has the same pre-order 3 games recieve 30% off deal but all of their games are regularly priced at 59.99 instead of 69.99...
So for i got NHL15, TLoU and Dying Light - that order saved me $26 I believe between BB and Amazon.

I would switch my BB order to Amazon but I'm not sure if I'll get my games on release date.

I had my second order fixed! This is such a great deal!

Made it in just before they closed the Xbone bug on Amazon. Man... if this order goes through, bricks will be shat.

Hmm, okay that sounds good
Does anyone know if Advance Warfare will have that same next gen discount thing as Ghosts from last year?

I have no issues ordering from amazon instead since being in the middle of canada, BB and FS rarely get me games by release day anyway.

Funny you mention that cause it'll probably be announced... About 2 hours from now at Microsoft's press conference.
That's one of the things to take out of this. I personally have never had Amazon deliver a game to me early. It's always late somehow and I live in the middle of the City of Toronto area of the GTA. It's definitly cheaper to go on Amazon and you save about... 5-6 dollars I think cause Amazon also dropped the overall price of their games to $59.99. So basically if you pre-order a $59.99 game on Amazon and get the 30% deal, you get it for I think around 42-43, whereas on Best Buy it would be around 48-49 since their stuff is stuck at the bullshit $69.99 price because ECONOMICS I guess.
Also I can check the individual game prices on Best Buy and their shipping times are all separate. For whatever reason on Amazon I can't check the individual prices with the discount from my order page, and it sort of just lobbed all the games together.

Definitely ordering through Amazon.ca now. If only they offered digital vouchers on the Canadian site.
When shipped.

I type in "Hyr" into Amazon search and the first result is Hyrule Warriors, yet they don't even have it. Are they going to update their games list? How many games pre order? Is there an easy way to search for pre order games? Sorry for all the questions.
I don't understand the Amazon deal. I added 4 games but it's only giving me 15%. Do they have to be a certain price point to get 30%?

To add to this, I can't find Final Fantasy XV on PS4 for whatever reason. But both Kingdom Hearts 3 and FFXV are part of BB/FS 30% off deal right now. However they're both priced at $69.99. It looks like BB/FS have the bigger name titles, but Amazon has a lot of the smaller niche ones (Disgaea 4 R, Persona Ultimax, Neptunia Rebirth).

Agreed. Those are fantastic deals from Amazon, but the ability to easily return the games if they get crapped on in reviews on the day of release is worth $10 to me. I'd rather pay $10 more for a great game, than save $10 with no ability to return it if its getting reviews in the 60s.
Good job Amazon, maybe with great luck BB/FS will respond this week. And we can all cancel and re-preorder again!

No charge until ship. Should be individual charge per game, too.

Hm, looks like Amazon is putting it's $69 games to $59 now, TLOU Remastered is 59 now.
It's already applied. Check the order summary and you will see these two.
Extra 15% applied (it will only show up if you order 3 or more)
Promotion applied (2 and below)
What do you mean no way to return it? Taking a trip to the post office takes the same amount of effort as taking a trip to BB/FS.

That is weird. I searched while in the Wii U category so it must be categorized elsewhere. Why is this game $65 but most others are $60...
After looking at it. I will definitely save a lot money on amazon pre-order than BB. I save $21 before taxes.

BB:
here's an example of what I did.
It is listed in Wii pre-orders.

Without cost and easily. The cost to return eats into that $10.

When you go to through checkout and select your credit card, before you hit confirm on the final page, it shows you there are two discounts applied on the order.
Like this
Yeah I just noticed as well. However Neptunia Rebirth, Disgaea 4 R and Persona Arena Ultimax are a part of the deal! I'm waiting for an updated release list though. I'm not outright cancelling my Best Buy order right now, but I'm gonna hold on to my current Amazon one as well just incase.
On my end it looks like they applied the 15% off thing twice. So 30% then I guess.
Still waiting on an updated pre-order list later tomorrow, but I'm not even sure how fast Amazon.ca are gonna be at that.
This is EXACTLY what I'm worried about as well. I'm placing the Amazon pre-orders anyway just incase, but I'm not a fan of the fact that they take for fucking ever to get here. All my pre-orders with them somehow always come in late. Bravely Default and Demon Gaze for me somehow came a day late, and Blazblue CP LE came in a week late.
Actually I somehow don't think Best Buy are gonna put up some of the Vita games in time. So I guess I can use Amazon for the ones I can't find on Best Buy. I at least like how I can cancel individual games in the order.

If only the 30% discount is applied to both the Xbox Live and PS+, would have been a crazy deal.
I placed my order an hour ago and it was already $59.
I was planning on placing an order or two at Futureshop, but looks like I'll go with Amazon instead. Worried about the shipping speed, but I'd prefer the extra saving anyways. Futureshop usually gets it to me by Wed or Thurs, so we'll see how Amazon will do. Plus, Dragon Age: Inquisition deluxe edition doesn't work with the deal at Futureshop.
First order: Dragon Age Deluxe, NHL 15 & Shadows of Mordor.
Last year I placed 6 orders of 3. I've had 9 games ship, 3 games cancelled, and still have 6 games to come (MGSV, FFXV, The Order, Witcher 3, Mad Max & The Last Guardian), so I won't have to place as many orders this year. Hoping for a few unannounced games I want to be added,

Oh, it's only on the final page that it show up. I had the Xbox One in my cart but I didn't see the discount. I thought it was not working and waste too much time because of that.
I believe there are two instances of 15% off applied once you're on the final screen of the checkout.
That's my Futureshop (Top) and Amazon (Bottom) order for Smash Bros U, Bayonetta 2, and Tales Of Xillia 2.
Edit: Whaaaaat, I don't need to create separate orders of 3 to get the most out of the deal? I'll probably end up cancelling this one once E3 is in full force and pre-order a "master" order.

Why is your Smash $55 regular price? I search and see $60. I must be blind because I cannot find any pre-order sections.
Edit: Never mind about Smash, I found it.
You don't need to check out. You can just check the order summary at the right side to see the discounts applied.
Smash Bros. Wii U
Some of the WiiU games are listed on the Wii sections.
