Does Best Buy charge right away, lump sum type thing? or does it charge you for the individual game when the it comes out? This is my first year doing this. :p

You buy same games on different systems? That too on launch day? Interesting lol
Click to expand...

I pre-order the same game on different systems because I can't decide until launch day which one I'll end up playing it on.

While these once in a year deals are great, do you really need to have all these games day 1 ? Most of the times it takes like only ~3 months for a price drop.

I enjoy being a part of the zeitgeist around a game's launch too much.

No company should be charging right away, ever. Considering some of these games are so far away, and a lot of them might not even be retail releases in the end (like Splatoon), companies can't really charge you for something that doesn't exist.

I've found that games (especially with the $69.99 price tag) don't go down in price for a while, definitely not to around $40 within 3 months, takes a little longer than that which makes this deal quite good.

Was Mass Effect 4 ever available to pre-order at BB? I could've sworn it was, but I don't see it anymore. Or is it still there and I'm just blind?

It was available for both PS4 and One but not any more. Last I heard the Xbox one was still available but they might have changed it since.

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
Click to expand...

I guess I'll just buy this at PSN and wait for any sale. I was expecting around $28 or $31 but meh.

It definitely depends on the game and publisher. For example Ubisoft games tend to go down in price more quickly but I am not a patient man so none of that matters!

Problem is that's been truer for current gen then next gen. The next gen stuff has been staying put.

Assassin's Creed: Unity
Batman: Arkham Kinight
Battlefield Hardline
Bloodborne
Destiny
Dragon Age Inquisition
Dying Light
Farcry 3
Grand Theft Auto V

Super Smash Bros Wii U

3DS:

Persona Q
Pokemon Omega Ruby
Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright
Super Smash Bros 3DS

Vita:

Danganronpa 2

....Coming in at about $1100 after taxes. Holy fuck that's a lot of games, but a lot of savings too. Undoubtedly some of this stuff is going to get canceled because A) I don't have time to play all this and B) Some of this can wait for Christmas gifts and stuff. I tried to avoid ordering things that I knew wouldn't be out by next E3 anyway too. The only games I'm interested in but werent able to preorder were Persona 4 Dancing and Guilty Gear Xrd.

Also might have to end up canceling Destiny for the XBO version, one of my best friends might be getting an Xbox One over a PS4 after comparing both Sony and MS' exclusives at E3 this week which...I can't blame him for, really.

For those guys who ordered with 30% discount, did anyone of you try adding another item to your current order? Did you get any 30% off?

I would try this for you but I don't want to jeopardize my current 30% off orders. Probably most people are in the same boat. Sorry!

That's what I'm thinking too but I hesitated and just ask to change my shipping options. I just chat with them and they were able to change my shipping to "Express" for free. At least I won't need to wait that long to get my order.

I just culled all FPS games - with the exception of Destiny - from my carts. Figure I'll play them on PC if I really want to, where they'll be significantly cheaper.

Click to expand...

It's normal, since there's far fewer copies in circulation. The userbase is still low, so retailers won't order a vast amount of copies and there's no rush to clear the PS4/Xbone inventory.

The fairly high price of current gen games (sorry, but PS360 is old gen now :p) is a good reason to take advantage of these E3 pre-order deals.

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
Click to expand...

HDMI Cable cost 2$ at Dollarama...or 3-4$ everywhere on internet...

you are seriously pissed for 3-4$

I have had periods in my life where I have the time to play $1500 worth of games, and I have had periods where I had the money to spend on $1500 worth of games, but I don't think those periods have ever coalesced for me. This should just be called the "Add to your Backlog Event".
