Code goes for 15$ in the buy/sell thread. Also saw some for 10$. Maybe you already know, just saying in case you didn't.
That's insanely cheap. You could sell it on Amazon for way more, though there is risk in doing so.

Yea, so many being sold in that thread drove the price down quickly.

I have never sold a game in my life.
But I haven't had the chance to play TLOU on PS3 yet... and this seems like an okayish deal...
Ahhhhhh D:
Just a heads up for those interested I just picked up Saints Row IV National Treasure Edition, comes with all the dlc, at Wal-Mart for $20. I think they got confused because of the Greatest Hits (PS3)/Platinum Hits (360) box and thought it was the standard edition. Amazon is selling it for $30, currently out of stock, as well as EB Games. Best Buy and Futureshop don't seem to carry it according to their site.

Sadly you can not do it until Tuesday. :-\
Well the game is not out until tuesday no? Wouldn't make sense to allow the deal before that lol.
If you have a PS4 and want to play it soon, you mind as well! It's not like the PS3 version is going to raise in value. You'd probably be able to pick up a brand new PS3 copy down the line for less than the difference.

Awesome, I'll try the Walmarts.
I was looking at this thread that has images of old Toys R Us adds. I've heard how expensive gaming was back in the day but to see it.....It just gave me a surprise and a new appreciation for this thread, Canada CAG, and RFD.

EDIT: I think those were U.S. prices but Canadian prices were far greater I believe.

Looks like the Last of Us ends up being 49.01$ for me on Amazon with the E3 deal and 56.32$ on Best Buy.
It will be 45.98$ at Target tomorrow with the 15$ off. I guess that I will return the Best Buy one and sell the Amazon one on Kijiji for a huge 6-10$ profit... All prices includes Quebec taxes.
Speaking of Bestbuy, anyone ever asked them why they say that they do not charge until shipping but in fact they can charge you days before shipping? Don't they have to respect the shit they write on their website?

Did you get an email from BestBuy get about TLOU? I haven't heard from them yet, wondering if it's gonna make it for release day at this rate.
No, they haven't shipped it yet so I haven't received any news from them. My PS4 came 4 days late at launch too which was awesome. If you need something day 1 don't use best buy. They tend to ship on the release date and they seem to just use standard shipping, or at least that's been my experience.

How much is Last of Us at Target?
FS didn't reply to email about the price.....

Tomorrow it should be 39.99$ with their 15$ off any PS4 games promo.
After one reply from Best Buy showing that they clearly did not read my e-mail properly, I wrote again and never got any reply. How can you simply ignore customers? How can you charge people days before shipping when you state that you charge upon shipping? How can you tell your clients for years that they can update their credit card info or address online but NEVER ever make it work? I am so baffled by Best Buy and Futureshop way of doing things... In most cases they still win with the lowest price, though. I guess that's why they get away with all the bullshit.
Not with that bilingual packaging they are.

Canadian prices were insane. I remember looking through the Consumers Distributing (God I'm old) and Toys R Us catalogs and seeing games that cost $100:
EDIT: Krae knows what I'm talking about!

Breath of Fire II 99.98$... All the RPGs were around that price, it was insane!

WCW/NWO World Tour on N64 was over 100 and incredibly hard to find when I bought it =/
Compucentre at the Promenade mall had a copy of Doom for 99.99 forever that always made me shake my head
Consumers Distributing FTW, got my SNES and F-Zero there on sale, had to line up early with my dad to make sure we got it lol

Oh man Consumer Distributing was THE SHIT. I remember drooling over the catalog everytime there was a new one. Always start by the end since this is where all the cool shit was.
And then it was super fun and kinda magical to go buy stuff from them. You had to fill up the little card and somebody brought your item in the window.
In a way it was Amazon before Amazon...hmmm

You weren't kidding, just bought a Pikmin 3 code for $12 USD. Factor that with the $5 digital deluxe credit from the Eshop and I pretty much got it for under $7ish.

I'm considering finally grabbing a PS4 this week because my E3 orders are starting to come out.
Is that $50 gift card at Target the best deal going on?
The Second Son bundle for $449.99 at BB doesn't look too bad either, but I'm not really sure if I want that. Never played the others.

Really? AlphaTwo00's Xbox One from Amazon took 7 days from launch. I got mine from Bestbuy day of.
:S I guess it's really locale dependent.

First game I purchased with my own money cost me over $100 after PEI's horrible sales taxes. To add insult to injury it was this masterpiece.

If my uncle hadn't bought us Ocarina of Time as a gift I would never have become a Zelda fan.

It's hit or miss, most games I get on release day with FS but the PS4 console took a few days (damn weekend)

Anyone know where I can get Diablo 3 at a reasonable price?

I will be at Target for when they open at 8:00am to get in on the $15 off deal for TLOU.
I have never gone to Target to get a game on release day. What should I expect?

You're a horrible person making me remember that gaming used to be good, now it's an empty shell of the days gone past. Makes me sad.

You guys know where is the cheapest place to buy Destiny Limited Edition ? Was going to buy it on Amazon.
What shipping? Express? Prime? Etc
Prime, Quebec city. As usual, there was a discrepancy about the ETA between amazon and ups's sites.
Problem as in "applying the E3 deal on 69.99$ and shitting on their customers"... I gave up already, I'm getting TLOU at Target and will ask FS for a refund once I receive the game.
I haven't ever emailed them about something like this, but I don't see why they would lower the price and reapply the 30% discount for you (if that's what you're referring to). It's not part of their policy.
Yeah I'm with you that it sucks. Just didn't want to be the first to say it.

I was able to get my price corrected. But it looks like I am the only one:lol
