I'm kind of hesitant on Splatoon, Starfox preorders & Hyrule Warriors, I don't think the first two will be $65 MSRP games and concerning the latter, the treehouse presentation almost convinced me of picking it up, almost. Also, somehow I didn't preorder Yoshi last year, I feel stupid now.

Only got Pokémon x2 and smash 3ds preordered this year + smash wii u / Xenoblade X / SMT x FE and Bayonetta 2 from last year.

I'm definitely adding persona q, fantasy life, yoshi and the witcher 3 to the list. Still waiting on tomorrow's 3ds reveal.

 

[djblue89]

OMG! How did that even happen? Overall how much % in discount did you end up getting?

Here is a breakdown of the order:

I mean will they really honor the deal ? I made backup pre-orders on BB just in case.

 

[licktheenvelope]

I don't care which one it is now, whoever gets the god damn Witcher 3 Collectors Edition up gets my next order.

Jeez... been 5 days and every other country has this up except Canada...

 

[zroid]

Captain Toad is being listed at $64.99... i'd be really surprised if that ends up being more than $39.99. which means the E3 discount would make it more expensive than MSRP.

They will change the price if that happens.

For example, I had Deep Down on pre-order from Futureshop last year. When Capcom announced it was free to play FF just cancelled it off my list.

Hollyshit

 

[Returners]

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.

.... Why....

Here is a breakdown of the order:

I only pre-ordered 3 games myself but at your prices I probably would have gone nuts too. ~$48 (what I'm paying) isn't cheap enough for me to go full out.

The only question is will they ship them out, I mean they should since they shipped out those 280$ Xbox Ones

I find i'll go "all out" at sub $40 for console disc games.

Last year I ordered 14 @ E3 sale. Still have 7 of those coming.

I also have about 4-5 games from last year.... Right now I'm looking at 26 games total... Getting kinda pricey :S

 

[zroid]

For example, I had Deep Down on pre-order from Futureshop last year. When Capcom announced it was free to play FF just cancelled it off my list.

Sure, they'll drop the price down to the MSRP... but what's the point of pre-ordering it at E3 then. It's pretty annoying. >_<

 

[licktheenvelope]

I also have about 4-5 games from last year.... Right now I'm looking at 26 games total... Getting kinda pricey :S

I got 5 yesterday morning when Amazon was doing the 15% + 30% thing and there's 4-6 more I might want.

Only thing I really want to pre-order is the Witcher 3 Collectors Edition and for some reason no CDN retailer has it up yet. *grumble*

 

[VanCityGamer]

Here is a breakdown of the order:

I mean will they really honor the deal ? I made backup pre-orders on BB just in case.

I don't understand. How did you get so many of those games for significantly less than $40?

 

[Mysterious]

So if I preorder Captain Toad from Future Shop, and the price gets dropped (which it will, no way it is going to retail for $64.99), would I get 30% off the new price?

 

[djblue89]

I don't understand. How did you get so many of those games for significantly less than $40?

I don't know, I pre-ordered them and saw that there was no 30%, so I went into a chat session last night at around 8PM EST and told the rep that the promotion was not fully applied and she replied, okay I applied the additional 30%, so I think they did -15% then a -30% on the total, but the one thing that I don't get is that the prices for the games are all different, like why is the Crew the most expensive game on the list? Again, I am hoping they honor it for my sake, but I made backup orders because I don't want to be left out of the BB deal.

 

[Yasumi]

Man, my total order feels super conservative compared to some of you guys.

Dangan Ronpa 2
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
XBlaze
The Order 1886 Premium edition (for $20)
Freedom Wars
Persona 5

In total, $224.71.
If I don't have a PS4 by the time The Order comes out, I'll probably sell it at a little less than regular price, reduce the sting of $200 a smidge.

 

[Anth0ny]

fucking hell why is e3 pre-ordering so god damn confusing this year

I should be pre-ordering from Amazon.ca if I want to save money, right?

 

[terrible]

I find i'll go "all out" at sub $40 for console disc games.

Last year I ordered 14 @ E3 sale. Still have 7 of those coming.

That's kind of how I feel about it too. If these games were $39.99 I probably would have ordered 10 or so. At $48+tax or whatever it is I can just wait a few months after release and get most of those games for cheaper.

The only question is will they ship them out, I mean they should since they shipped out those 280$ Xbox Ones

Hopefully they do ship them because those prices are pretty nice lol.

 

[Samyy]

My list:

Destiny
NHL 15
Dragon Age: Inquisition
The Order 1886
The Division
The Witcher 3
Bloodborne
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Uncharted 4
Mass Effect 4
FF15
KH3

Would like to preorder Type-0 but I refuse to believe its a $70 game...

 

[Returners]

Only if you're willing to deal with a CSR.

Otherwise Bestbuy is better for all games of all prices.

 

[zroid]

So if I preorder Captain Toad from Future Shop, and the price gets dropped (which it will, no way it is going to retail for $64.99), would I get 30% off the new price?

99% chance no

the other 1% is if you complain after the price drops and get very lucky

 

[krae_man]

Not true. Uncharted 4, LBP3 and Bloodborne are $7 cheaper on Amazon.ca. Their could be others as well but those are the ones I've noticed.

 

[puffyshirt]

I also found Kirby and the Rainbow Curse via search. No preorder discount for that yet either.

I figured since that's a gamepad-only game, it would be downloadable. Maybe not though

 

[zroid]

They also have Devil's Third, but it's getting 404'd just like Fantasy Life


I'm still hoping for Monster Hunter 4 and Prof Layton vs Ace Attorney to show up

 

[BigJonsson]

Not true. Uncharted 4, LBP3 and Bloodborne are $7 cheaper on Amazon.ca. Their could be others as well but those are the ones I've noticed.

Weird, Civ Beyond Earth went up in price, so did Evolve.....

Gonna order UC4, Bloodborne and Rainbow 6 at Amazon and lessen my BB order

 

[Returners]

Not true. Uncharted 4, LBP3 and Bloodborne are $7 cheaper on Amazon.ca. Their could be others as well but those are the ones I've noticed.

Right.... the ones on Amazon whose price is lower than 59.49 is better than BB right?

 

[Exist2Inspire02]

Here's what I've got pre-ordered so far:

Amazon:

• Uncharted 4
• DriveClub
• Diablo 3
• Last of Us Remastered
• The Order: 1886
• Batman: Arkham Knight
• Dragon Age: Inquisition
• Destiny
• Alien Isolation
• Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
• Assassin's Creed: Unity

I've still got to pre-order Rise of the Tomb Raider and Kingdom Hearts 3, but I'm waiting to see if anyone puts on Kingdom Hearts 2.5, otherwise maybe Smash Bros.

 

[VultureDude]

is Devil's Third up for pre-order anywhere?

 

[chrominance]

They also have Devil's Third, but it's getting 404'd just like Fantasy Life

Hackery got me this Fantasy Life URL and this Devil's Third URL. Predictably, neither seem to be eligible for the promo yet.

Oh, also, Layton vs. Ace Attorney on Amazon.ca in case that helps you at all.

 

[VultureDude]

just saw Devil's Third on Amazon.ca, but it isn't part of the pre-order deal?

what's up with that?

 

[licktheenvelope]

Not true. Uncharted 4, LBP3 and Bloodborne are $7 cheaper on Amazon.ca. Their could be others as well but those are the ones I've noticed.

Huh, you're right... amazon mis-labelled pricing for Uncharted 4, Bloodborne and Rainbow 6 Siege as $59.99 base from $69.99 base...

Works out to $41.81 each...

 

[krae_man]

Right.... the ones on Amazon whose price is lower than 59.49 is better than BB right?

The $51 stuff is better.

 

[licktheenvelope]

Right.... the ones on Amazon whose price is lower than 59.49 is better than BB right?

Looks like amazon screwed up, again, and posted some of the base prices as $59.99 instead of $69.99.

When they fixed it today they had $70 games with 15% off then 18% off at checkout.

Now a few games they just added are $60 with 15% off then 18% at checkout.

Save about $8 more on those: Bloodborne, Uncharted 4, LBP3, Rainbow 6: Siege... those are the ones I found.

Spoiler

Still poor, why is gaming so expensive lol

 

[Returners]

The $51 stuff is better.

Yup. In general anything Amazon shows as 59 and below AND qualifies for the Buy 3 promo is better than Bestbuy.

 

[firehawk12]

Still no new games on Best Buy or Futureshop??

 

[Yasumi]

Still no new games on Best Buy or Futureshop??

New games are popping up, they're just not eligible for the sale yet (hopefully).

 

[BigJonsson]

Just changed up all my orders due to Uncharted, Rainbow 6, Bloodborne now working right on Amazon + Diablo 3 being 55 dollars somehow before promotion

 

[big_z]

Still no new games on Best Buy or Futureshop??

make a list of the games you want and wait a day before ordering. getting in early doesn't have any benefit on bb/fs.

 

[Rengoku]

Yup. In general anything Amazon shows as 59 and below AND qualifies for the Buy 3 promo is better than Bestbuy.

For some reason, I found two exceptions. Evolve and WWE 2k15 have $9 discount on top of the 15% discount when added to the cart.

Destiny has an $10.50 on top of the 15% as well.

The problem is that they "run out" of preorders, especially on Japanese games.

New games are popping up, they're just not eligible for the sale yet (hopefully).

Do they appear under the preorder tab under each console?

 

[Sealtest]

Now that "WII U X" is now named Xenoblade chronicles X what happens to people who pre-ordered under the old name? Will FS/BB change the order?

 

[bryt]

What other game is 50.99 besides Uncharted 4 and Bloodborne on Amazon?

 

[BigJonsson]

Now that "WII U X" is now named Xenoblade chronicles X what happens to people who pre-ordered under the old name? Will FS/BB change the order?

Most likely

 

[Yasumi]

Go to the games section of a system, then change the sort method to "newest".

 

[doctorcdcs]

Sure hope so. my preorder from the last e3 promo is still active and that's at ... 39 or so dollars

 

[big_z]

The problem is that they "run out" of preorders, especially on Japanese games.

they didn't run out last year.
last E3 i cancelled my pre-order and re-did it all on the last day of the promo to make it easier to cancel portions if needed. nothing was oos.


BTW, is there a list of all the E3 games shown? When I preorder I want to make sure I don't miss anything I want.

 

[Jagxyz]

Here's what I ordered ...

AMAZON #1
• Uncharted 4 - $50.99
• LittleBigPlanet 3 - $50.99
• Bloodborne - $50.99
TOTAL = $141.76 (this includes tax) ~18% saved off list price, though they were 15% off to begin with.


AMAZON #2
• Diablo 3 - $55.24
• Evolve - $59.99
• Destiny - $69.99
TOTAL = $149.59 (incl. tax) ~29% saved off of list price.


Order #2 had two promotions applied on it (~18% and ~11%), while order #1 had just one.
Was cheaper than Best Buy by about 5 bucks, but Amazon shipping is more reliable from my experience. I don't really understand how they are doing their promotion, some games had part of it applied to the list price, while others had the entire promotion added at checkout. Kinda wanna ask CSR if I can get order #1's discount up to 30% but I think that may be a bit greedy, lol.
