So god damn depressing. Guess I'm not buying new games anymore unless Amazon pulls through.

As an aside.
Fuck Cineplex's app.
It has been sitting on this "please stand by..." screen for five minutes. It tells me not to hit back or close the browser.
:/
Edit: Closing the app and reopening fixed the problem.
Now the ticket will not add to passbook. Ah, modern technology.

RIP e3 deals. 4-5 years is a great run though.
DEAL!!!!
Fret not my fellow Canadians! Skullgirls 2nd Encore preorders are up. You can get the game for $24.99 and $19.99 (PS+ members). Also there are two bonuses if you preorder. You get a very charming PS4 theme and qualify for a limited time cross-buy with the Vita version.
PSN page: https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-ca/games/skullgirls-2nd-encore/cid=UP2032-CUSA01606_00-SG2NDENCORE00000
Details about the game and deal: http://skullgirls.com/2015/06/skullgirls-2nd-encore-pre-orders-are-live/

Even though SF4 is completely broken, which means I haven't really had a reason to use my PS3 stick on my PS4, I almost feel obligated to buy the game to pay them back for the driver. Even though I already have three versions of the game. lol

Seeing the thread at work made me sad
I guess Im PC only for now. I know Im doing that for many multi-platform titles now.I don't think there's a retail copy
Yup, it's digital only outside of Asia.

It's not the shitty discount that annoys me, it's the shitty discount coupled with drastically more expensive games. The discount won't even bring me back to the $59 glory days.

It's digital only, and the second it went up on Steam for $25 CAD I preordered it on case it was a price mistake.

Wow. They just went back in stock. I posted this a couple of hours ago and they were out.
It's about $43 Canadian with exchange. Not great but not bad if your card doesn't charge you extra for exchanging currencies.
The codes will take about 24 hours to be sent to you.

So I know there was discussion of it earlier, but I'm wondering if there was any consensus reached about E3 deals moving into their own thread. I don't think I get the point of that (IMO E3 deals are Canadian Gaming Deals personified), but just want to know whether to look out for such a thread...

It ain't much, but i guess something is coming.

Videogames have minuscule markup, and Best Buy ain't doing too good these days. Even at 20% off, they'll probably be selling games at a loss.
That's what made the 30% off deal so incredible in the first place.

June 31st? What kind of calendar are they using?

I swore I'd go Best Buy over Amazon for E3 this year, but if Amazon can give me my precious 30% off, I'm in.
Actually, does anyone know if the flyer mentions anything about needing to be a Gamers Club member to get the deal? Because if they didn't maybe it is something along these lines. 20% for everyone, 30% for Gamers Club.
I can hope!
Hey guys, what if it's 20% off for normal people and 30% off for RZ members?
This deal sucks.

It does appear to mention Gamers Club, yes. "Club de joueurs" is the magic phrase. So probably no 30% for club members.

So Ratchet and Clank 4 PS4 is $40 in the US, wonder what our price will be. If its cheaper on psn i'll buy it there, game looks beautiful

No, I have a copy of the English flyer:
Ah, thanks.
Well that sucks. I know it's a "we shouldn't complain about any sort of discount" thing, but here in BC tax is like 12%, this barely makes a dent.

No, I have a copy of the English flyer:
The lack of Nintendo games on that flyer...
Makes it even less appealing to do E3 discounts this year.

Well, hopefully the minimum is at least $39.99. Getting the price of Might No. 9 down to $32 isn't too bad.

I guess I'll be OK not adding to the long list of games I already have pre-ordered since I still have to finish Bloodborne and that will take at least another year to do lol
