So when they announce release dates tomorrow maybe do they usually go up the same day at these stores or the next day after

Thanks for FutureShop's E3 deal, I'm going to be preordering A LOT of games. :| I hope some of these don't come out before E3 2014, because then I'm going to have a massive backlog. Lol
Here's my list (pending new game announcements from all three console manufacturers tomorrow and on Tuesday):
Holy fuck lol.

Big games on the same day. "Smaller" games get uploaded over the next few days as people bug their official Twitters to upload the games.
EDIT: Sorry, double post.
Anyone know if there are any deals on Skylanders figures in Canada? Heck, even finding a Canadian-based webshop that sells at retail with affordable/free shipping would be nice ;>> Seems all the places I check are "in store only" or are already sold out of the ones I want XD Any help would be appreciated, thanks! :3
What E3 deal?

Announced with the Wii U version last year.
I don't see a lot of the games Mysterious mentioned... No handheld games at all. Are we expecting it to be updated as E3 proceeds?

Yeah; pretty standard procedure each year with FS.
It's an absolute nightmare to cancel or change orders though, so just be careful if going with this deal.
The site is a buggy piece of trash that seems to intentionally fall apart if you try to cancel or refund anything, or change addresses/credit cards, etc. I had a terrible experience with it, but only because I'd changed my mind on some things.
But yes, the deal is as mentioned. You're basically getting $60 games for $40, but all the ills of ordering games online come with it; shipments could arrive a day or three after actual release dates. If you, like me, are a stickler for getting shit on day one, you may need to go and buy your game from FS retail on day one and return your online ordered game later with that receipt once it arrives.

Maybe it's reduced to $10 on handheld games? My mistake on the phrasing on the link.
Whut, I can pre-order 3DS Super Smash but not the WiiU version?
Nevermind that I don't even have a WiiU yet, lol XD Thanks for the link! Probably the only thing that can keep me from pre-ordering at VGP is a significant discount like this, lol [I pre-order from them in store though].*edit* so how does the discount work with this FS promo? Does it show up in cart, after you order, or is it done after being charged the full amount as a cc refund once the game is released?
Or is it store credit? I don't want store credit ;>>You get a third of the price off. It's outlined here:

Thanks for filling me in.
Yeah, worse offer than last year where it was $20 off even $50 games.
13 off a $40 3DS game *day 1 is still an incredible deal. Just preordering Smash, Mario and Retro's new game would be lock in's and you would basically be getting one of them free. Thats amazing, but as someone said if some crazy offer/SE comes out you want you might be in a hassle to cancel. I will take that chance.
Not sure, but wasn't it buy 3 get 1 free last year? So then if you got 4 $50 games you were effectively getting only 25% off, whereas now you only need to get 3 games and you get 33% off.
I'm just happy to see the $40 games qualify for the offer this year, as FS barely bothered to list any last year, and the only deal was the Tsilon codes.
If it's a tsilon code then it expired on May 31st.

So uh... Can I just do multiples of 3 games, and get $20 off on each game instead of $20 off on only the first 3 and $10 on every additional game? Lol
Damn, didn't know that.
Yeah, just do as many orders of 3 as you please. I'm planning to do 4.

My pre-order total is going to be scary like usual.....going to make separate orders for ps4 and xbo since I am not sure which console I'll end up with
Pre-order now, think later and hopefully be able to trade some of them in

How funny. I was just looking at decals on Etsy.
I was going to pre-order M&L: Dream Team anyway, creepy bonus but I'll take it.

Luigi's face looks like A torso and his mustache looks like a bra.

This + Pokemon and the third is just a bonus.
Luckily I'm only going to pre-order Pokemon, Mario and Luigi, and Zelda? Any 3DS games I'm missing? Oh yeah, Yoshi, okay, so, one order with those above three titles, and one order with three copies of Yoshi? lol

Smash Brothers (Nintendo 3DS)
Item Status: Pre-Order
Release Date: 12/31/2013
$25.99
Definitely not cancelling this pre-order.
I'm hoping too. Atlus are showing it at E3 so I don't see why not. There's too many games I wanna get...

My local source had the last of us on the shelf for sale.
I went to buy it but the damn computer said not to sell it so the employee couldn't sell it to me.
He looked at a co-worker and said "these shouldn't be out here" to which the co-worker said "oh really?".
CURSE YOU COMPUTER

YOU SHOULD HAVE RAN OUT OF THE STORE WITH IT
EDIT: The Source usually has those empty cases out yeah? If so, then nothing could have been done D:

Subete no aware
It's probably not worth it for them to sell their games to FS/BB unfortunately. I presume with EB Canada, they just ship enough to fill preorders and leave it at that.
Well, BB/FS do typically carry their games; they just seem to always wait till the last minute before actually listing them. Doesn't leave much notice for pre-orders.
Sweet.
Pre-ordering Pokemon X, Shin Megami Tensei IV and... I need a third... either Brave New World or GTA 5... MHMMMM.
