I split my game orders into groups of 3-4 but for this pricing error I made a duplicate order with the kyrat edition. Usually bestbuy cancels orders with pricing errors so I want to make sure I have the original as a backup.

They cancel them eh? Hmm, wonder if they would compensate at all.

This sort of happened to me. I missed a lot of games last gen but ended up grabbing a PS3 because of PS+ and that has helped me catch up on a few.

The way I see it is like this, I have this summer drought to catch up because there's a huge wave of next gen games coming in the Fall/Holiday. So I'm picking a few games from last gen to catch up on but making sure I don't miss this new generation of consoles. I'd get a PS4 as well eventually.

I got my PS3 refurbed from http://mtcclearance.com (Officially supported by Sony)

How is this the first I've ever heard of this website? Amazing!

taking a closer look at the kyrat edition does it include any bonus content over the preorder limited edition??? I cant tell. it seems like collectable garbage might be the only difference.

You may have to talk to customer service after one ships if it works like future shop. It wasn't a big deal when I did it.

3 extra missions and a weapon, it looks like.

on ubisofts site it says:

"The free Limited Edition upgrade includes Hurk's Redemption, a series of three-action packed single-player missions. You'll embark on an epic quest to find a rare artifact while using "The Impaler" harpoon gun. "


so it seems like the kyrat edition doesn't add any additional content.

Oh Shit. NHL 15 Ultimate Edition? Far Cry 4 Kryat Edition. Worried these will be cancelled on my.

I will order them in a special package on their own. If they get shipped I will just return the regular edition.

Did you two pay extra for shipping? Mine's still stuck at Preparing for Shipment. I'm convinced now that Amazon.ca is holding orders back on purpose to convince people to pay for Prime.
Click to expand...

I paid 1.99 for standard shipping by accident...

I got it via UPS in QC.

I have a big wii backlog so my xbone will be used to play gold games and maybe Ryse if I can find it for 20$

NHL-FIFA-DESTINY need to arrived!!!

Yay BB added Dangan Ronpa 2. Managed to get Layton vs Wright and Persona Q in the order too.

Was so worth it for persona Q. It brings the game back down to 35$. No Atlus tax anymore.

Ok, I think I'm done. In for:

Destiny
GTA V
Battlefield Hardline
The Order 1886
The Last Guardian (PS3)
Counterspy (Vita)
AC Unity
LBP 3
Uncharted 4
Mortal Kombat X
Bloodborne
Rise of the Tomb Raider
The Division
MGS V: TPP
Arkham Knight
The Evil Within

Plus I still have Diablo 3 and Battlefront from last year. I'm sure there will be plenty of returns, but with $70 regular pricing I can't possibly pass up this opportunity.

Not sure if mentioned, but BB has NHL 15 Ultimate Edition (PS4) for the same price ($69.99) as the regular edition. Has the 30% off, too.

Anyone who ordered through Amazon should double check to see if they wouldn't be getting a better price elsewhere. They've changed the promotion to current sale price and 15% off.

They must've really been caught with their pants down this year, because I've never seen them so disorganized.



Hyrule Warriors, Smash Bros and Bayonetta are 136.47 @ Bestbuy. 143.89 at Amazon.

It's their first year trying to do it while Futureshop and Best Buy have done it for a few years.

After ordering close to 30 titles in total from BB/FF/Amazon, all I'm waiting for now is MH4 and S.T.E.A.M. to complete my E3 pre-order bonanza lol. Really hope they manage to squeeze these games in before the deadline tonight.
