October is going to be ridiculous.
 
I figure the PC version would be 35 bucks though. I don't mind playing on PC if it saves me 13ish bucks. lol

Makes sense, savings are always good. If getting on the PC, there are always deals, so no rush I guess. The way fall is cramped, may be it is worth to wait while you play the rest and clear the backlog.

Is GTA V up on amazon yet? I can't seem to find it.
 
BS. 49.99?

Yeah it's 49.99, $5 more than Amazon but on BB it's part of the E3 deal. With the 3 game discount it comes to 34.99. Better than paying $50 on Amazon I guess. I added that, Fantasy Life (Why the FUCK is it 50.99 on Amazon? Are they high? Did something invade their brains?), and Harvest Moon Story of Seasons to my cart for the deal

I ended up saving more when i ordered from best buy. Just cancelled everything from FS and whatever previous games i had ordered and did it over again

Just finished, having a Wii U and 3DS is more than enough for now. Can't spend money on a new console and another plethora of games
 
Ugh I boxed up my PS3 (since I have my Xbone and Wii U, so no inputs left), but I love Persona games. Not sure if I should wait for the inevitable Vita version or pre-order Persona 5.

Both! When I got SMT Persona 4 on PS2 I loved it. When I got Golden last year I loved it more! What can go wrong with both?

Oh I see. Many still seem to be 60$ instead of 70$, so I'll order those from there.

Best bet would be to check out at both BB and Amazon just to what the final prices are then place the order with the one that satisfies you the most.

Thanks. Man what's with the 69.99 PC games... ridiculous

No problem. Few days ago Amazon had PC games for $42 each and another 30% discount on top of that, would have been great deals.

What about Amazon?

Not anymore, you are getting the regular 30% off just like FS/BB. They had few errors the last few days and was worth it but not it seems to be all sorted out.

So I'd rather just go with FS/BB considering they ship faster, which Amazon is terribly slow at and they have easy returns.

Oh man :(

Is there a way to cancel individual games? I only see 'cancel order' which seems to cancel everything. Not sure if I really want Destiny/The Division but I thought I might as well pre-order since it only charges when it ships.
 
I pre-ordered a couple of Vita and 3DS games at amazon last night, ended up with $10 cheaper than BB/FS

Edit: just double checked, I got Freedom War in my order which the original price is $10 cheaper than BB/FS ($30 vs $50), maybe that's the reason why the total is cheaper
 
All my Amazon.ca pre-orders have decreased in price by 10 bucks.

Nice. Will it stay this price permanently?

Edit: Rise of the Tomb Raider for PS4 isn't available. Weird.

Normally I skip over this deal because it seems like people are always getting their games late and it's a giant hassle (cancelling pre-orders even more of a hassle) but this year, with prices rising to $69.99, I'm considering it...

I think most of us have been getting our games on time, but maybe when something goes wrong we become more vocal about it I guess. Personally, I don't think I've ever waited more than a day for my E3 games to ship and sometimes they even ship early.
 
I already had a few games pre-ordered, and their prices dropped when I just checked my orders summary and added a few more games. These will stay this price, right? Or do I need to cancel them and order everything again in one massive order?

You need to preorder 3 or more to get the maximum discount.

Bestbuy/Amazon will show discounted price in your cart once 3 or more games are in it

Amazon will not show full discount until you're at the last click before paying.

I've never received a game late in all my years of doing this; launch day every time. Canceling pre-orders is also not a hassle. You've apparently been missing out other years. I've been getting games for $40 on launch for about four years in a row now.

I'm using Amazon Prime as it is, so I figured I'd pre-order off Amazon, but it appears the 30% discount isn't applying. And this Amazon customer service rep seems all but useless.

So I'll see the 30% discount on the last click... I only ordered four games, but maybe I'll cancel and re-order everything in one big order.

Lucky you but 90% of this thread at any given time is people complaining about FS/BB shipments.

All the games are already 15% discounted(Eg Uncharted 4 is 59.49 discounted from 69.99), once you add 3 games to your and go all the way to the payment screen the other 15 % will be applied. it will be on it's own line "Promotional discount applied"

*clip every game coming out*

Smart. After missing the last two years of BB/FS pre-orders, I'm not missing out again. I just pre-ordered almost every PS4 game available at BB too. Lots of the single player stuff isn't terribly important, you can always buy it 3 months later for half price, but it'll be nice having the option of keeping any $48 game on release day.
I just wish there was a way to cancel individual games from one big order.
 
So i'll post my orders.

It's actual 15% then 18% @ checkout.

Ah okay so the extra 15% is supposed to be it's own separate "Promotional Discount" line. Okay guess I'll have to have a chat with Amazon then when I get home. I thought they just applied the 30% like when the order ships or something since two of my later orders don't have it even though they should.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Okay so I went to the EBgames today to trade in my PS3 towards PS4 Destiny bundle to get the 150$ promotion. Turns out its UP to 150$ so I had a 80GB model and got 104$ for the trade after the promotion. That's okay. But the guy told me I can only trade my old PS3 with the HDMI cable. I was like WTF? Are you serious. This is so ridicules, did you guys knew about this? You have to give them HDMI cable even though Sony doesn't ship one with the console lol
