I don't know what they did but I picked free shipping.

Alright, thanks.
Just preordered The Last Of Us Remastered for $60. How sad is it that we are all over these deals like it is a real deal and you are still paying $60+tax
I'm not all over them. I can wait on Batman being on sale before jumping on it.Alright, thanks.

You're fine. Also $19.99 orders get free shipping too so you would be fine even if you ordered them separately. I'd recommend that as it makes it easier to cancel if necessary.
$35 FFX/X2 at EBGames today. New.
Not for the Vita. =(

Woops, just saw that $10 off thing, sorry. That's really shitty then. I also want Tomodachi with $10 off.
That's really stupid of their part, as the law only state that an english-only game can't be on the showfloor, only being the counter. Proof: they cancelled the preorder of Prof Layton Azran Legacy for everybody in Quebec, but the game is still widely available in-store here. Uuuuurgh.
EDIT: From a post on RedFlagDeals:
No idea if they won't cancel the order afterward, but it's worth giving a try.

Thanks guys, that's one less worry...especially cause I cancelled my Best Buy pre-orders before putting in a FS one. Breaking up the orders seems like solid advice, hopefully I'll stop being a lazy bum within the next hour or two and change my order.
Edit: And neither Sly nor Borderlands 2 is currently available online. Guess I'm sticking with my group order =P
Ooooooohhhhh yyyyooooouuuuuu sonofagun.
As soon as I saw that it was for $35 I was on board but you shattered my dreams before I could even hit up the EB Games website.
Ended up with:
- Mario Golf
- Kirby Arch Deluxe
- Tomodachi Life
- Watch Dogs (WiiU) ($40 because of the stacked $10 offers)
- Hakuoki PS3 (regular edition)
- Hyrule Warriors ($55, ready to cancel at E3 if something better comes up)
Sly Cooper Collection for Vita was sold out before I could order it or I would've had that for $20.

They might put it back for preorder in a day or two, those sick bastards are just limiting the number of discounted preorders they are taking which is not promising, if they do the same with E3 offer (if they ever have one) it's gonna be really annoying for sooo many people!
yeah you're right. Mario Golf sold out gawd damn you real life. I'll keep checking here and there.
Overall haul between BB and FS
Sunset Overdrive
Halo
Quantum Break
Hyrule Warriors
X
Smash 4
SMT x FE
Tomodachi Life
Will cancel if E3 deals are legit (20 bucks or 33% off if they keep it the same)

I cancelled my Amazon preorder of Watch Dogs and went with FS because they deliver my games faster and I have a $90 credit. I also went ahead and preordered Wolfenstien
That's why I don't order with Amazon if it and another site have something priced similarily. Amazon takes like 4-7 days for me. BB and FS are 2-3. All with free shipping. I can return but I'm a lazy pos so I don't wanna do it unless it's for a game I really want.

Went to preorder Mario Golf with the FS deal, sold out. Bullshit, how do you sell out of preorders?
You know individual stores don't get unlimited copies of games, right

The idea of preorders (at least with games, not consoles where supply is actually constrained) is to take as many as needed until the few days leading up to release, and then decide how many games to bring in. Why would the Future Shop website already be sold out of a game they probably don't have in their warehouse?

Subete no aware
The point of preorders, presumably, is to let them know how many copies to buy from the distributor though.
Hmm where's that?

Got Witcher 3 PC for $40. Steam sale will be cheaper but maybe there will be some physical goodies.
Which steam sale? I doubt the upcoming one will have Witcher 3 for less than $40.

So the game will show up as out of stock until after release day?
Unlikely, they obviously limit each game for this specific sale.

Thank you my man, ordered!
It sucks that Best Buy decided to fix their preorder system so late :/ Missed out on preordering a few more games that I wanted. Oh well..
EDIT: Oh sweet Futureshop deal made up for that!
Ah right...hmmm. I kinda want the deluxe edition...even if I know those bonuses are pretty much always bad, I'm a sucker for that stuff lol.
I'm so pissed off to have missed the Origin deal...ugh.

I expect it'll be back up for preorder by sometime during the week. I suppose you never can tell, maybe they work to confirm they can get a certain allocation before they open up preorders wide, but I have a hard time giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Oh well, preordered Destiny. I have an Amazon preorder as well, but I'll probably cancel that for all the popular reasons -- the time it takes, the ease of return at Future Shop, etc.
There's still a limit.
They also want to have some copies on hand for people who don't pre-order. You shouldn't have to pre-order a game to be able to buy it on release day.

Haha everything you're saying only makes sense for a physical location, not a website.

Would of ordered Mario Golf but I guess not. Hope some more stock pops up during the weekend but I kind of doubt it will.

Wouldn't it be terrible and mildly humorous if FS/BB just didn't do the E3 pre-order this year because of all the price hikes?
well it's not like I really needed to buy any more games this year anyway

Not really, though.

Considering Mario Kart at Future Shop... though I don't even own a Wii U quite yet. Do you think there's chance of a better deal some time in May or June?

On MK8? Proooobably not.
No reason not to pre-order just in case, if you're even considering it. Can always cancel or return.
