You're probably right. I'll check back later before I head to bed.

I just canceled my 3rd Best Buy order of the week. It's like I'm adding the games BB just added now, and then Amazon fucks up and it's cheaper there for whatever reason because Math, then I cancel BB and re-order etc etc. This is my first year doing the E3 Deal thing but it's really good in the long run. Saves money.

Still getting only 15% off on Amazon.
Me too. I did get Uncharted 4 for $50 because Futureshop has a date of dec 31/2015 and thats 1 month after my current credit card expires so I can't use them.
I like futureshop better as they use canada post which ends up in my mailbox in my condo.
Ah, you're right. They're the same price though, so I think I'll just order it again. Feel too lazy to call.

do you think they'll switch my order from X to xenoblade X and keep original price I ordered it at? I pre-ordered it way back when, and i was getting X for 39.99.

Heh, the Best Buy URL for Fantasy Life is literally bestbuy.ca/404. GOOD TIMES.
Need to find two more games to go along with Uncharted 4 on Amazon, but nothing pops out at me except maaaaaaybe LBP3 (but I suck at LBP so probably not).

I have that game pre-ordered at all three different retailers, not sure which one to cancel. They all seem to have the same price at the end of the day.
Diablo 3 and Pokemon break even.
Edit: Destiny is $47 after discounts are applied even though it starts at a full $70 somehow. It has $10.50 + 12.60 taken off.
Looks like Amazon is limiting the games eligible for the promo. It must have this if it qualifies.
Futureshop's page for it is up, so Bestbuy's should be fairly soon.
THe ones I tried were already 15% off before you put them in your basket and then when I went to the checkout, they had an 18% discount on top of that, so just a bit over a total of 30% (they were only doing 15% off at checkout yesterday and it was coming out to be only 27.75% discount instead of 30%).

For Amazon, would "Group my items into as few shipments as possible" still ship each game individually? Does Amazon also charge your credit card only when the game ships?

I already own D3 and I'm not sure I care about Pokemon, seeing as how I haven't even finished X yet. Ah well. Dying Light is $42.49 on PC, though. Not sure it's worth it, since I also never finished (or even came close to finishing) Dead Island. If only they would get Persona Q and Fantasy Life (or Persona 5!) on Amazon, though Fantasy Life is currently a ridiculous $59.99.

I am now at $1500 on best buy and i'm not done...
Post your list. Might give me some ideas to add even more games lol. I'm at around $1000.
After discounts it's approx $62 so 22% off.
... WHAT THE FUCK? Persona 5 isn't even at E3...?
Half of the games in there aren't even at E3 lol. Basically every games that are up for pre-orders are part of the deal.

Jesus goddamn, and here I was feeling like I need to exercise some restraint for threatening to breach $400. How do you have time to play all these games? This isn't Steam!

One of the things I learned last year by missing out on E3 (and having to refill them at Gamescom) was that knowing how the return policy/cancel, it makes more sense to just hold orders for ANYTHING you have the slightest interest in, and just cancel/return it out afterwards. By the time the game hits and you really want it, it's unlikely you can find the price.
Adopt me plz.
This is the best stategy since you don't get charged until the game is ready to ship

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
are you guys for real? I am having hard time choosing 3 game. Because that's all I can afford for now. Even that is too expensive. GOD DAMN 70$ games
Well it helps when most of the games are 2015 and 2016 , I only have 3 games preordered for 2014.
... WHAT THE FUCK? Persona 5 isn't even at E3...?
I think we can all agree it's just a place holder. I think Best Buy's still in the middle of adding games and adjusting prices. Just tried to add Persona Q and Freedom Wars again and keep getting an error. If these games become apart of the E3 sale then that completes all my orders.....unless something comes up.

Both will only charge you for each game as they ship.
Just as I thought, than you

Exactly. If you break it back out into year/unannounced, it drops dramatically.
Do I think I'd keep Evolve? Right now, I can't even get my core group of guys to move up to a PS4. So maybe not. Do I have it on preorder? Yes.

No, you will be charged as each game ships and not together. Atleast for BestBuy and Futureshop. Not sure about Amazon, but I think it will be same

Just remember that (at least at BB/FS) you'll only get charged when they ship, so you won't pay that huge chunk at once.
I have seven games in my cart right now:
Batman: Arkham Knight (the demo at the Sony conference completely sold me).
BloodBorne
Uncharted 4
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
NHL 15
Tom Clancys The Division (against my better judgment, maybe).
Grand Theft Auto V (double-dip).
