I'm not seeing the 30% discounts on Amazon.ca when I placed pre-orders.

Is it not active yet?

Will Amazon apply that 30% off to pre-orders I'm placing today or should I just wait for the 30%-off deal to be live first before placing any pre-orders during E3 week?

Is $40 really the cheapest you can get Diablo 3 (PS4)? That game has barely dropped in price...

It was $30 like ~1.5 years ago on Amazon.

That's when I picked it up.

Amazon has not announced anything this year yet...

 

[orochi91]

Amazon has not announced anything this year yet...

Oh, that explains it.

So should I hold-off on pre-ordering anything right now and wait till next week?

Or will Amazon apply those discounts retroactively to pre-orders placed today?

How about you wait till Amazon actually makes an announcement first?

Assuming they offer them, those discounts are at checkout, so you won't get them if you don't order during the promo.

 

[Luigi87]

Being eligible to purchase it requires that the account you're logged in with owns TTK on PS4. It shows "not available for purchase" otherwise.

Ah that makes sense!
Always forget to log into PSN on my browser.

Just redeemed my TK code so the price point is showing now. Will there be another retail release of the game with expansion codes?

 

[orochi91]

Yes

No

*Salute*

I'll just go ahead and cancel my pre-orders for now; will wait to see what Amazon offers next week before placing any pre-orders with them.

And here's a screencap of last year's E3 hub with no mention of the 30% promo.

Was just going to post this.

This works out to 37.5% off. Free shipping to a local Canada Post.

Decent deals are back?

 

[kennah]

I don't want to super derail - near Quebec City. The village where my wife is from. Trying to do this all from Winnipeg was interesting..

Hah, no, I feel like I'm going to puke. Now the hard part starts.

 

[ohlawd]

omg it'd be so fucking sick if Walmart had their own E3 deals.

their current pricing for those three games is close to 40% off

I'm also buying a house and I can't find someone to take my 2016-2017 lease and the owner of the apartment complex don't want to do anything to help me out.

The Quebec part of house buying shouldn't be too hard, don't forget about your Taxe de Bienvenue in a couple of months!

 

[Bronetta]

BF1 and FFXV are showing out of stock on PS4.

Fucking Walmart, I'm sure theres no way you can take any more preorders months before the games are out.

 

[Kyolux]

According to some, they charge you and refund you everyday though. No amount of saving is worth that annoyance imo.

 

[VanCityGamer]

I have Mirror's Edge Catalyst unopened on PS4 for $60 in Greater Vancouver if anyone is interested.

 

[Firestorm]

It was tsilon first before they just started doing their own deals, I think?

Nah tsilon was a year or maybe two later iirc. I remember being in Ontario for the first wave of E3 promos. No tsilon required and it was 2011.

Yeah reading about this has discouraged me from placing any long range pre orders with them :/

A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS (I hope)

(except their PC selection is atrocious, which means I'm not pre-ordering Battlefield 1 and probably won't touch Gears of War 4 from Walmart)

that's alright. I'll put everything on my second card and not use it for anything else. problem solved, don't gotta micromanage

My 2nd card doesn't have the same rewards, I can't do this!

You also can't ( and literally can't, even when calling) cancel an order made on Wal-Mart.ca

 

[Vinc]

Walmart doing it means Amazon will do it. I'll stick to Amazon just because their site works better and customer service is better. But man, Walmart's deal seems pretty incredible.

Sorry, Best Buy

 

[oreomunsta]

Gotta ask an Amazon rep if they'll charge me $50 for my FFXV preorder because of this Walmart business.

Then, I'll hopefully have my old 30% E3 discount apply to it

 

[BadHand]

My e3 copy of mirrors edge arrived, except I have no time to play it.

Was gonna return it but also willing to part with it for $50 if anyone is interested. It's new in it's wrapper and I have a DLC code too.

EDIT: in Fraser Valley, BC

You mean 50$ - 60% off or perhaps more...

 

[FyreWulff]

Same here. What a great yet short lived program it (she?) was.

I remember getting FFXIII-2 for Free as well as loads of discounts and it helped me clear a bit of my backlog with the challenges.

It was tsilon first before they just started doing their own deals, I think?

tsilon gets me nostalgic

Damn, I forgot how unique that was. Was it a FutureShop backed marketing campaign? It was super interesting and well done but you could tell the people behind it were being pulled off and it wasn't getting as updated as regular. Loved it!

-Mister F (also J says hi!)

 

[knacklover]

What are you guys talking about with the Tsilon thing?

 

[FyreWulff]

Dunno. You want some CinemaNow codes? I have like, 5,000 of them over here in a box..

Really interested to see the data of game sales ever since the prices have gone up to $79.

Do we have that?

I rented so many movies using CinemaNow codes from Tsilon, lasted me a good long while. Just booted it up for the first time in forever for the Deadpool deal a bit back.

Also got Halo 4 launch day for $20.

Good times.

That sounds expensive, Xenoblade X was like 15$!

Amazon dropped Battlefield 1 to $49.99, GO GO GO! You can probably get them to do the 30% during the promotion if you pre-order it with other stuff.

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01F9HMO2K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Ghost Recon: Wildlands as well:

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00ZPTE3QS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Gears of War 4 ($49.96):

I canceled my 48.99$ FF XV with 30% off because I know I won't play it before it hits 20$

Buy now think later.

Was odd whenever I added this to my cart it kept telling me I was buying from someones wishlist even though I had none of those details.

 

[CrimsonGun]

Wow could that bf1 sale be a sign? Maybe this year we'll get more than 30% during the e3 sale.

 

[Cake Boss]

I doubt that they will let you do the 30% on top of the $49 price tag.

I am guessing that there won't be an E3 30% promotion, and just price cuts on select games.

I was able to do it during the Black Friday or whenever that was promotion, I had an order for a bunch of 2016 games and they added on the discount promotion and also Prime shipping (since I signed up with Prime Student). You never know!

That's what I am thinking and isn't this price technically better?

Edit: Just realized some of these I already have ordered and will get the new price plus 30% off. Damn.
