How is Best Buy's shipping times compared to Futureshop? When I preorder games from FS, I usually get it on release date or the day after.

Same for best buy with the rare "pick up from X post office".

 

[ohlawd]

Best Buy is updating again!

They have Freedom Wars now, however it's for 39.99. But with their E3 deal it is like $2-3 cheaper than Amazon's after taxes (BB at $28). Wolf Among Us and Walking Dead S2 are up there as well.

http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product...spx?path=bca337a292977239c4a68e8e5edb3bf8en02

BB is also adding Fantasy Life, Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney (!!!) and Story of Seasons. FL is $39.99 but the rest are $44.99.

Waiting on BB to add P4AU

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

I got a reply from amazon about my 30% not being applied correctly. No price update, guy will write back to me soon.

"We have already escalated this issue to our Marketing and Promotion Team. As this is a very huge issue we are facing with this Promotion right now."

Um...

Waiting on BB to add P4AU

waiting for akiba's trip: undead & undressed

I don't think they know vita means life.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

lol - just pre-ordered a Playstation TV as well.

Does that qualify 30% off?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Got:

Super Smash Bros (Nintendo 3DS)
Persona Q Shadow Of The Labyrinth (Nintendo 3DS)
Persona 5 (PlayStation 3)
Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright (Nintendo 3DS)
Super Smash Bros (Nintendo Wii U)

From Future Shop for a total of $209.37. Not too into pre-ordering games that are far off and have no clear release date, so I avoided those.

Just need P4AU, DR2 and GG Xrd to be added. Could go with Amazon for the former two, but I want those day 1.

They really don't. I'm almost wondering if they'll even carry Danganronpa 2, but I'm sure they will.

 

[krae_man]

Does that qualify 30% off?

No.

nope Vita means no Type 0

oop too soon

No.

:-( I wish.

Ugh.... can't wait until I get a job so I can do stuff like this. You know, just splurge like there's no tomorrow.

Dem endorphin rushes .

 

[btkadams]

Just a reminder to everyone, if you're waiting on a game to be put on best buy's website, tweet @BBYCanada. They responded to me pretty quickly when I suggested Final Fantasy Explorers (3DS). Unfortunately, it hasn't been officially announced for the west, so they won't put it up. I suggested Persona 4 Dancing All Night (Vita) as well:

I asked for Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition for PS3 and Garden Warfare PS4. Garden Warfare is up but D3 isn't.

EDIT: is today the last day for the promo?

 

[krae_man]

I've tweeted for Ratchet and Clank PS4 several times and been ignored

 

[Mayyhem]

I'm assuming ordering from FS and BB is identical in terms of price and everything?

 

[AlphaTwo00]

Ugh.... can't wait until I get a job so I can do stuff like this. You know, just splurge like there's no tomorrow.

Dem endorphin rushes .

Ahahaha. It's not even splurging. Nothing gets billed to you until shipping.

 

[lfc11]

Done.

Thanks! Hope it appears before the promo is over.

 

[The Elite]

Best Buy is slightly cheaper.

 

[Lizardus]

Can anyone link the new Zelda game on Amazon.ca?

This "metagame" is more frustrating than real games. Why hasn't someone made a game about this, trying to get the best prices from different outlets with prices and discounts that change every hour?

 

[sweetvar26]

I pre-ordered every major PS4 title. I've never did that before, not even on the 360. Mostly because of the $70 price tag.

Price of Duty: Advance Mathfare

 

[firehawk12]

No new games added overnight?

 

[Eleuin]

ffs these amazon discounts are gonna make me cancel my bestbuy orders and redo everything

 

[sweetvar26]

ffs these amazon discounts are gonna make me cancel my bestbuy orders and redo everything

Why? They seem to be pretty much the same as Best Buy.

 

[krae_man]

Most of them aren't a better deal anymore. Amazon changed their prices.

 

[TheOMan]

Soooooo, do I preorder a Playstation TV, or buy a Playstation Vita?

Also, Playstation TV needs a memory card to store games, yes?

 

[Noahd41]

I've got Destiny, Division and MGS5 from last year with the FS deal. This year I added Witcher 3, Shadow of Mordor, Alien: Isolation, Mass Effect 4, Uncharted 4, AC Unity, The Order, Mirror's Edge 2, SW: Battlefront, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Last Guardian (just in case).

 

[Eleuin]

oh you guys are right, only a few of the PS4 games are still 59.49

 

[RE_Player]

I'd recommend a Vita. PlayStation TV looks like more of an accessory. And yes you would need a memory card.

 

[ohlawd]

Cheaper and it also plays P4G and Ys MoC. All you need :3

Could you ask them to put up Kingdom Heart 2.5 HD ReMIX which has an announced shipping date of 12/02/2014 in north america. :] I don't have a twitter account and don't really care to make one either.

 

[Joeku]

So Futureshop is really bad with visa debit cards; the remaining orders I have had with them since last E3 are going to be a pain in the ass cause every time I have to go buy a gift card for the exact amount and call them to have them apply it.

Do Best Buy and/or Amazon work better with them to anyone's knowledge?

Good call! I just tweeted them that one too.

 

[Returners]

Good call! I just tweeted them that one too.

damn, almost forgot about that one.

 

[Dual Blade]

Cancelled my pre order with BB just to re order the same 3 games + Persona 5.

Witcher 3, Dragon Age I, Tales of Xillia 2 for $48.99 each
Persona 5 for $34.99

Not bad. I am going to wait till next years deal to get Uncharted 4 plus others. Maybe our dollar will get better or another early round of price errors.

 

[jzbluz]

Ha, BB raised the price for P5.

 

[btkadams]

Ha, BB raised the price for P5.

Fuck I've had it in my cart for a half hour and hadn't ordered.

I've never been able to use a Visa Debit Card with BestBuy.ca, but I've had zero problems using them with Amazon.ca

 

[krae_man]

Holy shit, they upped it $20. Glad I grabbed it for $34.99

 

[TheOMan]
