For the official ones, the Elites are still the best, if you can get over the fact that if you have a big head, you might break them. lol

I'm getting one but can't decide which one of the two.
The COD:AW console is over priced though, $100 extra for a 1TB HD rather than the regular 500GB one.

I might just be dumb but where did you find it?

Thanks! That IS a terrible list... having ACIV on there is nice but there's nothing else I want to trade in

It's far more powerful than the first one but it's more useless at the same time!
No Kinect games, and even gesture/voice recognition is hit or miss but still I'd rather have the option if it ever gets implemented into games or whatever
Pretty much the same. Useless for games up until now but the voice commands work fine. It just feels cool to turn it on when walking around or turn it off and stuff, oh and switching apps all the time. Other than that, it has no real use in the games you play.
If it were me though, I'd rather just have it because it is part of the main experience for the OS and I was under the impression that it would get improved quite a ton for the commands and such. However not that it isn't mandatory, I don't think they will spend much tile in refining or improving it.
My buddy usually does that or has it facing the ceiling, haha.

Hopefully the deal is carried out through the fall. I'll probably have a few games to trade in before the end of the year.
This is a pitiful list. Was hoping that COD: Ghosts would have been on there.
Not sure if old, but if you buy a PS4, you get 30$ off on a selection of pre-order, (Far Cry 4, The Order, NHL 15, Driveclub and Little Big Planet 3.)

Wow, a big whoops. Hopefully they honor it at store... although, do I really need another pair of headphones I'll never use? lol

Get the white one man.... it looks sweet.

Did the same, hopefully they will honor the price!

Me to I doubt they'll honor it.
I actually reserved mine a few hrs ago. I didn't get an automated email from them though. Maybe they stopped doing that. $60 is still a good price.

They only send you an email when they fulfill or fail to fulfill your order! $60 is not bad, $20 is much better though

Just a quick question is this the headset that works with the xbox one aswell? I heard somewhere that some sony headset works on x1 too.
You attach a 3.5mm cable to the headset and the xboxone headset adaptor

Did you use Paypal? I think this might be a Paypal thing...
Yay, Akiba's Trip is scheduled to arrive today instead of Monday. Looks like BB also charged me for Diablo 3 and Tales Of Xillia 2.
Yeah, I think you're right. For some reason I remember them sending me an auto confirmation my order was received, then another email once it was ready for pick up.

Ordered in store. I fully expect it to be denied once they see a flood of them.
Did you get this same message from a previous poster?
I am assuming BB is preparing to ship my Akiba's Trip copy, but why the hell did they submit the whole amount of my order?
I legit thought my Paypal account got hack, but went to check and it was the total amount of my E3 order. Shouldn't they only charge me only for Akiba Trip?
If yes, read the message carefully.
Yeah, same thing but when that's the very first thing you see on waking up both in gmail and as pending payment in paypal you ask questions =) Appreciate the clarification though.
Normally it wouldn't have been a problem even if the whole chunk came out but this month has been lean.
All's well that ends well, though I'm still looking at my bank statement to be sure lol.
Yeah I think so. I legit reserved 5 because I wanted one for me and 4 others for my close friends who have all been playing Last of Us. I'm almost 100% sure reserving 5 won't fly with Futureshop though. Shame though cause $20 for those headsets are a steal and they all woulda been stoked to get them for that cheap. Oh well, hopefully at least 1 stays reserved for me.
I put a reserve in too, will be there for opening to pick it up, hope it flies, if it does I might buy two!

I just got an email saying 2 of my headsets were reserved however I got a call about 5 minutes later saying they only put 1 aside and are doing 1 per customer. As long as I got mine I'm not complaining
My store didn't have enough to fill the reservations, mine was one. Lame.
I guess they went on a first come first serve basis and ran out before they got to you. Either that or all the Futureshops/Best Buys were approaching this differently. Still sucks you didn't get one.

They probably don't even have that many in stock. The stock doesn't go down as in store pickups pile up. I bet there are like 30 requests per store for maybe 5-10 headsets.

Best Buy has the deal too, BB and Future Shop are the same company. Chances of getting them there are just as slim.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
While that is a valid concern since you can use external HDD just fine, but if you are also buying the game separately then its no brainer to have this. Because the game itself will run you for 80$ with tax here in Canada. 60$ if you pre-ordered it during E3 week.
So you aren't paying much, and on top of that you get a cool looking console. Now that's subjective if you are fan of COD its must, otherwise its alright.
I mean, heck, you're basically getting either Driveclub, The Order: 1886 or Far Cry 4 for almost half price.
That's a good deal.
