So I went kind of nuts with pre-orders.
- Watch_Dogs
- The Last of Us Remastered
- Destiny
- Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
- Final Fantasy XV
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- Mario Kart 8
- Super Smash Bros for Wii U
- X

For some reason the pre-order button wasn't working for Bayonetta 2 or for Super Smash Bros for 3DS :(
 
already get 15% off games at target since i work there so im good :)

sucks the prices went up still anyways :(

sad thing is i had the cheaper e3/futureshop preorders but cancelled them all because i had no intention buying a PS4/X1 that year..........then i did lol

1st world problems.
 
I think it depends if the store gives a shit or not. My store has implemented a policy where the cashier has to take out their smartphone and manually check the price themselves at the store that you are using to pricematch.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll probably just hang on to my Amazon pre-order. Better to wait a couple days extra for them to ship than to end up playing the extra $25 or so.

I'm still so unsure about that game. It looks completely ridiculous and I want it but at the same time I feel weird buying it.

It was when I did it. Try again before the promo is done.

Did you get the discount? I can add it to my card, but it's still full-price.

I did, just barely in time. The sale ended at 10 am (ET), unfortunately. I think the coding of the page was messed up at first, which had disabled the button. I actually edited the code manually to get it to work, but I think they fixed it on their end at around 9:55. :p

I also traded my copy of TLOU for a Kirby Triple Deluxe pre-order this morning, the EB employees were shocked at how good the promo was. :lol

I think I'm late now. Where did you guys pre-order it from and is the deal done now?

Best Buy had a 15% off on all preorders deal and yeah it's done. Started on the 17th at 5 PM PST, ended today like 7 AM PST? Somewhere around there.

70 dollar games after the deal went to 66 after taxes. That's the same amount I paid when buying 60 dollar games before the price bump >_>

Bestbuy had a sale through Good Friday where preorders where 15% off. Unfortunately, you're right, it ended 10 AM today.

Oh man, I preordered a bunch too and would have preordered Tomodachi Life had I been up earlier. I figured you can always cancel last minutes anyway/return if you really didn't want it.... (or if better deals come out on E3 week) ...

Welp, now to wait for the E3 sale, assuming it's going to happen. If I can get my preorders for a lower price come E3 then so be it.

Well, just have to wait for E3 now I guess. I hope we get something better at E3 though, something even cheaper.

Still need to get The Last Of Us Remastered.

They put tLoU up again for preorder for the last few hours of the deal, managed to get one!
It was out of stock most of the time which is stupid since it's not a limited print item or anything!

That's a better deal for Vita and 3ds games than the %15 off. I'll probably cancel my BB pre-orders for those when this comes up. Also gives me a chance to pre-order some Wii U games, since the discount wasn't available for them at BB when I checked..

FAAAACCCKKKK!!!! I didn't know they did that. Fuckers probably did it on purpose too (I'm just being bitter).

I'm looking at the countdown page but it doesn't say anything right now...

OH WHAT that was on pre-order? Dammit. Oh well, guess I'll see if another sale pops up.
 
Anyone in Toronto seen the Beast Wars First Season DVD set at any Dollarama or Giant Tiger?

They'd be like $2-$3 and I've seen many sets by Alliance Atlantis and other DVDs for that price at Dollarama so it's very possible one store in the city, or country, carries it.

That's interesting. I remember Shout Factory was unable to get the rights to sell their Beast Wars box set in Canada because Alliance Atlantis owned the Canadian rights, so everyone in Canada just imported the Shout Factory version.

I've never seen one of those before, but I'll keep my eyes open next time I'm in the dollar store. I'm assuming you want one?

So badly. Beast Wars is timeless to me. I wanted to get the DVD for a long time, I HAD an opportunity in Montreal when CMR near Place Vertu actually had the Shout Factory box set, of course I didn't know about the issues and thought it was available everywhere. It was also $70 IIRC.

God bless all my old friends/And god bless me too, why pretend?
I think I want an Nvidia shield. :(
Any good deals here? Canada seems to be more expensive than america except from the official nvidia store? Bleh, I wanna just pick one up locally.
Anyone in Toronto wanna sell me theirs?

Day 1 if they ever release a blu-ray set. The greatest Canadian series ever produced.

I'd heard in an interview with someone from Mainframe that ReBoot's old project files were lost, so a South Park-style upres was impossible. Wonder if Beast Wars fared any better.

Yep, cancel all your non-60 dollar BB orders. lol

Also, I have no idea if everyone is just getting rid of the Kobo Arc, but it is FS's turn to sell the 64gb version for 99 bucks.

To the dude who pre-ordered Hakuoki on PS3 - you should do it on FS as well, unless you preordered the Limited Edition.

Too bad my Demon Gaze is already in progress, have to make a trip to return it. I'd cancel my two BB Kobo Arc orders as well, but that's already en route.

It's the same as the 15% offer that BB did a couple of days ago. It works out better if you are pre-ordering 3ds/Vita games if you do it through FS.

I put in an order for both Sly and Borderlands on the Vita and because the order was over $20, shipping was free. The price of Sly is $19.99 and comes out before Borderlands, am I okay or do you guys think I'll be charged for shipping?

If the total order is above the price, it's fine.
