Sometimes Canada gets the best deals.

[diaspora]

nope, fuck you bestbuy. 30% off or bust

 

[Windam]

Yeah, Bell really needs to start expanding their Fibre coverage. It seems like everywhere outside of Toronto only gets up to 50mbps, and I'm sure it gets even worse the further you go.

I'm in Scarborough, not that far from Kennedy station. But yeah it's so weird how Rogers will offer me 250Mbps and Bell can hardly reach 50 and it's like 2x the price. :|

 

[terrible]

I have zero interest in reward zone points. 30% off or bust.

I guess I'm just copying posts now or something

Looking to Amazon to save the day again then.

Wow, they really want out of this. Hopefully Amazon will stay on track.

I wouldn't "really" mind about RZP except that they don't count them with my online purchases and you cannot redeem them online so they're useless for now.

So an online preorder promotion for coupons you can't even use online? Awesome.

Oh boy...

You'll have a bunch of points for games that comes out in between pre-order promos I guess...

Canada E3 Deals 2016 |OT| 30x better than last year

 

[diaspora]

lol you don't even get points until the game ships either smh

and even then it takes time to register to the card/account

 

[Maddog]

Everyone is putting too much faith in Amazon in my opinion. Now that they really don't need to compete with anyone, I really can't see them giving 30% off.

 

[TimeEffect]

Man, I want Until Dawn for $20.

Ill keep holding out for a physical copy for that price point

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Well fuck, I guess I'll have no choice but to be stuck with Amazon for pre orders.

 

[mdubs]

This is what I said last year when Best Buy did 20% off, but Amazon came through randomly with the 30%. Hopefully history repeats

You missed the sale two weeks ago.

I imagine these are going greatest hits so you might see it again.

 

[Lostconfused]

It's not about faith so much as they are the last option left if at all.

It was that price at BestBuy a month ago.

 

[KnightHart]

I mean, they didn't just do 30% off ONLY around E3. They even did it at random points during the year, and during Black Friday and I think Christmas season as well. Amazon knows how to one up BB

 

[TheOMan]

Usually the 30% pre-orders don't apply to CE. BestBuy learned from E3 2014 and Amazon followed suit.

Yup - fairly frustrating, and no good solution for this discrepancy.

 

[diaspora]

True, but to be fair, Amazon's done 20-30% off preorder deals even long after E3 has ended iirc.

 

[Moltenix]

I would take 20% off over points...

Amazon save us!!

We must not be that far apart since that's my exact situation.

They'll definitely try to destroy them with a better promo.

 

[Kyolux]

yikes... Hoping Amazon saves the day.

Expect potentially deals being for Prime members only though?

 

[hazukash]

And Reward Zone certificates can only be used in stores. BB know what they're doing.

 

[KarmaCow]

Are there any or possible upcoming good deals on monitors? I'm not looking for anything crazy like 144hz or G-Sync I just need a good 1080p one to replace my dying monitor.

 

[xCaptainCanadax]

Yeah they also have an expiration date when you get the certificate. This is really unfortunate as this means if Amazon does do a deal ill need to sign up for Prime to avoid the shipping nightmares.

 

[KnightHart]

This just feels like a good opportunity for Amazon to basically make BB eat shit by just doing their usual 30% off deal, and then have it 'accidentally' apply to CE's as well.

 

[Freaking Limit]

In case no one noticed, P5 special edition is available for pre-order on Amazon now.

 

[ohlawd]

wow, just wow Best Buy. aight I'll still order from them for games I really, really, really want. that's 2-3 games max pre-E3. looks like Amazon's getting the bulk of my money unless they fuck up too

 

[N° 2048]

Come on Amazon 30%. Bless us.

 

[mdubs]

So if P5 Collector's is eligible at Best Buy, that's $40 bucks ish back in reward zone coupons. If amazon doesn't come through I could live with that, but I would preorder many, many less games.

 

[Nabae]

Amazon would compete with BB, but if this is what BB has to offer this year, I'm expecting 20% off from Amazon (no CEs) at most.

 

[ReddishGUI]

I'm no expert but that could be good?

Bestbuy just put Amazon in a very favourable position here. The only thing Amazon can do to fuck it up is have E3 promos be 20% off and/or make it a Prime exlusive deal.

If Amazon went 20% off they would still come out looking good in comparison. They did surprise us last year though.

 

[Hero of Legend]

HUGE DEAL

Email-tagging this for Gaffers only, just in case. Quote me. (Hint: Fantastic for Sony fans, no, it's not KZSF LOL!)

 

[diaspora]

I would roll with Amazon out of spite at this point. Reward Zone? Fucking ridiculous.

Aaaannndd ordered. Thanks

Off $80 dollar games? I might sit this one out then. 30% off or bust.

 

[Sealtest]

I'm happy I got most of the games I wanted preordered last year. Just need both Pokemon and Shantae this year.

So aslong as Pokemon really should be $49.99 atleast i'll be paying $40 for each Pokemon.

 

[mullet2000]

Not Gaming, but Newegg has Nexus 6Ps on sale for quite a bit off + free $50 giftcard and a crappy case.

32GB $569

64GB $629

128GB $799

Pretty tempted by the 64GB, I'm due for a phone upgrade.

 

[-Deimos]

Amazon to the rescue once again.

I noticed that it ships from the US...I wonder if that would incur any additional customs fees.

Didn't notice that! It looks like just the 32 GB ships from the U.S?

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Watch Amazon's deal be 30 months of Prime per pre-order.

 

[hazukash]

If you're buying an $80 dollar game, you're not getting more than $25-$30 in certificates. Every dollar spent gets you 1 point. 400 points = $5. Technically, 30x points (roughly 31-37% off an $80 game) is better than 30% off, but you don't really get your money back as you're forced to spend it again in a brick-and-mortar store. Your points are also locked for 36 days after shipping before a certificate is issued, and you need to use your certificates within 6 months.

If BB Canada's website wasn't terrible and accepted certificates, this might have been an ok deal. Now Amazon will make big money if they play their cards right as usual.
