Fuzzy

I would bang a hot farmer!
Time's up.

I don't feel sorry for anyone who didn't get orders in. You had plenty of time and chose not to make your orders.

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.

Totally know what you mean. But I guess we get to use the money from the steam sales for E3 sales at least? :D!

No last minuet reprieve huh?

*sigh* man imagine how much more thunder they could have stolen from Best buy with just a couple more updates. Even if they couldn't get Persona 5 and Bravely second because nobody seems to have gotten them, they could have at least gotten the other games Best buy had listed and fixed the ones they did have listed but couldn't use the deal on.

All I have left is to hope that the promotional team fixes Legends of legacy in my order the manager forwarded to them and that they drop the price on a few handheld games to $49.99 like they should be instead of being $54.99 like they are now.

Z had a good idea; buy Bravely Second's CE because there's no way they aren't making one. Same with Persona 5.

Full price for Fatal Frame V

IDGAF FULL HARPER TAX FOR THOSE THREE it'll be worth it!

Dang you're crazy ohlawd, but in a totally awesome way. I'm so jelly you got them to move your Fire emblem order over with less hassle then I did AND they gave you a bigger discount to boot.

I HOPE Bestbuy does a trade in promo for Persona 5. Buy the PS3 version and upgrade to PS4 for (Insert decent amount). Not likely to happen but it's cool.

Maybe they added it as a mistake. Wouldn't be suprised given how many other one's they made over the last few days.

Going over my orders trying to decided what to keep and what to cut I noticed that Atlus is releasing 2 dungeon crawlers in August. Sure one is 3ds and the other is Vita but talk about not giving your games breathing room from competing against each other.

I just finished putting in my first and only order at BB. I also made like 12 separate orders on Amazon. I don't even wanna think about the total right now. I'll need to weed out what I don't want later.

By mistake do you mean revealed 2 soon or someone was misinformed? Becuase that's a VERY odd game to put up specially saying its PS4 instead of vita.

I think the Steam sale was in the last few weeks of June last year. The encore sale will probably be on the 20th or 21st so you can pick up any Steam titles you've missed.

I didn't even ask why the rep gave me FE for so low. mistake or they felt generous, s'all good. sorry to hear that, Stage. 30% off 50 is still nice for a game with lotsa content

If games end up being that price soon, I won't cancel any of my pre-orders and sell them for $80 each. Profit!
Click to expand...

Was reading a report about how the dollar is poised to hit as low as 73 cents this September, so any of you who got games for $64, $69 lucked out. I think that's why they have so many games at $74 or $79. Supposedly will get a bit better by next year but you never know. Would suck if this becomes norm. From $59 to $79 games in less than 2 years.

Already had Fates preordered at the lower price on Amazon, but short of Mass Effect Andromeda there wasn't much I absolutely had to have except maybe SMTxFE and Bravely Second.

... and neither of those were available through Amazon. So I didn't end up making an order at all.

My damage this E3: $0 and no games. It's a bittersweet feeling.

Don't forget that PC games recently increased in price to parity with their console counterparts. Thanks, Activision. That's a $30 jump in a very slightly longer period, for many of us, myself included.

I sold a few games from last year, because I knew I wouldn't be able to play them right away, so I would be able to pick them up for cheaper at a later date. I actually sold one game for more than the retail price because I got it a day early. I still kept too many i haven't played yet though. :/

The smart thing to do would have been to buy multiple copies of games that you could easily sell like Call of Duty, NHL, and Uncharted. I actually considered doing that, but Amazon only limited us to 2 copies of each game this year. Plus, their shipping isn't as consistent as BB. It's easier to sell games on Kijiji within the first couple of days of release.

Anyway, I'm glad I still have a lot of games locked in from last year for like $45.

I've sold a couple games on kijiji instead of returning them with these deals. I always make a bit of money since I don't pay any tax on these games, also it works out better if Amazon ships them early to you too lol.

Thanks to everybody who contributed to this awesome thread, especially who took care of the nice spreadsheet!

I preordered any game I might have the slightest interest in having and hopefully I won't be keeping everything I ordered, the highlight of this year is Guitar Hero for $70 and some big games who ended up being $65-30%, so yeah some good stuff happened and it wasn't as bad as we expected it to be!

See you next year when games go back to being $60-70 instead of $70-80!

Already cancelled Arkham Knight due to the delivery time.

Already got it pre-ordered at EB and I'll probably trade-in some games towards it.

They might but you might want to ask to move the order to a group with the discount applied.

Ugh, for some reason I thought it ended tonight, not yesterday. :(

I got most of the preorders I wanted, but I still would've liked to secure some other games like Horizon just in case the dollar gets even worse by next year.

Looking at my orders, I think Mass Effect: Andromeda is the only one that I'm doubtful would come out by the end of next year.

Otherwise, maybe Fall/Holiday 2016 Is the latest (Horizon).

I am kind of surprised by how little we saw of Mass Effect. Going into E3 I was expecting 2016 for sure. Now I think it's going to be 2017 for sure.
