I'm holding onto my BB code until the last possible moment just in case they're dumb enough to add games at this point.

I'm also really annoyed that you can't use the deals for Skylanders this year.

I remember when Best buy messed up on Giants 3ds and accidentally placed it really low so after the discount I got it for $20

And of course last year when Amazon was messing up I talked to their customer service team and the gave me an extra discount they dumped straight into Trap team.

Now? Heck if I'm going to pay $90 for a Skylanders game, especially since it's starting to look like I might have to buy multiple versions if I'm going to get Bowser and Donky kong
 
Is the promo code E3SAVE30 not working for anyone else right now on Amazon.ca?

It just worked for me, I'm in Western Canada. Final damage, 9 games, saved about $195.00. :)

I'm planning on picking up a Playstation 4 in the near future, but I was wondering if there are any decent deals for the system right now?

In for about 1k. Going to try and trim it down a bit in the months to come.

Final thoughts: RIP Futureshop. Piss off Best Buy. Helloooo Amazon.

I'd like to know this as well. I'm going to be needing one soon if I'm going to keep my preordered copies of Tales of Zesteria and Fallout 4

Got my order in. Some borderline titles, but I figured it's better to get the discount... it's easy to cancel.

First time going with Amazon. Signed up for the Prime trial for my order, and will cancel it in a few weeks. Hopefully my 2 day shipping upgrades will stick around.

All in all, I have most of the games I'm interested in for the next couple of years. It's nice to save a few bucks and not have to worry about tracking them down around release.

Maybe close to the Holidays or just after. On Stage, you really should have hopped on that $399 bundle if you had the funds.

Well it's not easy for me to spend that kind of dosh these days even if I've had the money set aside for ages.

It doesn't help that $399 hardly feels like a deal since that's the price the darn thing started at. I was so busy second and triple guessing myself that I missed out.

I saw that Shop.ca had it for $350 briefly and I tried to jump at that without hesitation but sadly it was already out of stock by the time I noticed it....

Funny how $50 and then tax can make such a huge difference physiologically

True true. Even $10 can be a deterrent in the retail space. I've seen clothes in the clearance section at gap for like $10-$15. People STILL want them cheaper SMH.

oh man I almost messed up, looking through my orders I noticed I accidently chose PC version of Mass effect 4 and not the PS4 version.

Hum decided not to get Return To PopoloCrois since it's release date is way too close to Xenoblade Chronicles X. Not only would that mean me spending more money then I'm comfortable at once but I'd be too busy to playing the later game to have time for the former.

Now deciding Re:birth 3's fate. I already have Victory on ps3 and since it's nearly a straight port of that I'm not sure really sure it's worth it. Plus I don't have Re:birth 2 yet so I'll compulsively want to get that if I get Re:birth 3.

Ubisoft games are in a whole category by themselves. I would never buy one of those at launch. Watch Dogs is one of the few games on current gen systems to be readily available for $15. But in general, people who want to buy these games at launch usually know they drop in price fast. There isn't really anything you can do to convince them and wait.

Meanwhile I wait for DSII and Dragon Ball on the PS4 to be $30. There aren't even any used copies of these on Kijiji.

Yeah, I think the lowest price I've seen for those games is $39.99 USD at best buy in US with GCU applied.

On an unrelated note, I sprung for the regular Battlefront version. Was that smart? I swear I had read the only thing Deluxe added was a couple items you could unlock yourself in the game later and some emotes? Was that dumb of me?

buy one from shoppers on seniors day if you can. instant 20% off.



Got my preorders in on amazon, end result:

Xbox
Gears 4
Recore
rock band + guitar (bestbuy order)

PS4
Dark souls 3
Fallout 4
Last guardian
Rock band 4 game only (bestbuy order) * will swap for xbox version.

WiiU
Mario Maker
Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem (bestbuy order)



Theres other stuff im interested in but no point in ordering games that wont be out before next E3. Hopefully next year bestbuy goes back to 30% off, I like easy returns/exchanges. Sadly persona 5 and fatal frame didn't go up or I would have ordered those as well.


Also have halo 5, tomb raider, uncharted 4, ff15, star fox, Zelda, xeno X still ordered from previous years.

Man am I going to miss this thread. It's fun to talk to fellow Canadian's who share the same interests as me for a change. Even at work there's only like one other person I can talk in depth with, the rest don't get it unless it's the more casual stuff and don't even know what e3 is....

I feel like I've made some new friends over the last few days :)

Was nice seeing so many of us on here, all decrying our useless dollar and jumping at the chance to buy games at discount that about a year and half ago were the same price almost lol.

At least this might rejuvenate the sales and deals thread which is mostly just amiibo or shipping stuff most of the time now because most deals are dead for us.

What's wrong with the Canadian Deals thread?

It was an honour to the end. Niche frustration unites us all.

Better hope no one else makes the same mistake. Also just realized I didn't put down for Fatal Frame but BBy apparently doesn't have it... So now BBy is finalized for me as well. P4DAN:CE, Trails of Cold Steel, SMTxFE, and Mario Maker+Yokai Watch for the button set I don't know what I'll use for.

This thread was good. I didn't post much in here, but at least I got Guitar Hero live for 60% off rather than 30%! Thank you to whoever posted about that!

I've been stalking BB and Amazon for Persona 5, Fatal Frame, Digimon, and Bravely Second. Still nothing guys

I fear these ones will appear a little after the promo.

Lol yeah. It's sad that I'm celebrating being able to get my handheld titles for $35 or $40 in the case of Trails of cold steel when I used to not buy anything on handheld for more then about $30.

But hey, beats buying it for $50 any day, especially when many of these games are the kind that don't really price drop. The one Vita game that I want that came out between last e3 and this e3 and wasn't part of either sale is still full prince

What's wrong with the Canadian Deals thread?

Nothing, just that there really aren't much deals to talk about these days. Prices aren't dropping as fast as they used too in many cases forcing me to wait even longer for stuff I'd like.

how many games was you gonna order if you still forgot?

you almost got left out!

not many, lol. not at these prices!



I ended up getting 13 from Amazon and 2 from Best Buy. I'm likely going to cancel like a third of these ultimately though.

I have a lot of games already pre-ordered from previous years like Xenoblade, Zelda, Uncharted 4, etc.

The funny thing is the steam summer sale couldn't have come at a worse time. I was so busy focusing on getting my e3 preordered dialed in that I couldn't really focus on that.

Don't know why they had it so early this year. Normally it's in July not June.
