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).

Nah from what I'm hearing, the game is very solidly being completed. They're saving gameplay reveal for next E3, IMO.

ME3 came out March 2012, so sticking to holiday 2016 gives BioWare almost 4.5 years work on the game. I think it's because they're going all out. Have to top the surprise hit multi-player of ME3, and develop a more meaningful story after the brouhaha of ME3 ending.

I can't wait for Amazon's usual pre-order sale. They did the same thing to UC4 last year for like $62. Should had bought it on Amazon instead on Bestbuy

Anyone manage to sneak any exceptional discounts out of the sales?

My best had to be jumping on Guitar Hero while it was $99 on Amazon, which brought it down to $69. Can't say no for that price!

Halo 5 went down to from 69.99 to 65,99 for a short period before jumping to 74,99. Although everyone that ordered it for 69,99 would've gotten it for the lower price. it's still nice. Other than that only Guitar Hero. Wish i got in on that cheap Xbox One elite controller though!

Yeah/ I saw the Xbox controller too, but it was before we knew how ungodly expensive it was, so I didn't. If I knew $89 was damn near half price, I would've been all over it

Best buy has offically extended their sale from June 19-25

Basically you can request 1 more unique code that can be used between those days.
Of course when I tired I got an error.

Sorry. This email address has already been registered and received E3 unique promotional codes.

So now I'm waiting to hear back from the rewards team...

I'm mainly hoping to bag Legend of legacy for 20% off since they added it after the initial sale ended. That would be a great fail safe since I'm not sure the Amazon sales and promotional team is going to fix my order from them.

There are a few titles I could probably pick up from Best Buy, but I think I'm going to pass on them. They're nothing I need at launch and I don't care to give them my business right now.

one thing about FS E3 deals though i got all my shit on time in my experience i don't know yet what BB or Amazon fulfilment is like
Click to expand...

BestBuy has the same warehouse as FS used to have. Amazon doesn't have the best rep of getting you the games on time, but it's just something you have to deal with in order to get the better prices.

You can cancel part of your order and keep the discount, so order whatever. Or at least, you used to be able to in the previous years.

I've never had issues with BB/FF, or Amazon in Toronto. The later using Free Super Saver forever and always. If they ever did start the intentional delay crap with my items, I'd be pissed. Amazon does have the benefit over Best Buy of being able to easily manage your order though. Cancelling single items, changing payment, delivery address, all of that is super easy. Best Buy's site has the functionality, but it's been a broken piece of shit for years that never works. Anything I can do to avoid calling in, which often ends up in confusion on the CSR's part, I'll try to do.

Re: preorder price guarantee at Amazon , is there a way to see the historical prices of an item before it ships so we can know how much we will pay for a game? That would be very useful for those like myself who preordered more than a few games that we're on the fence about buying.

A quick search brought up this site but I don't know how well it works or if it catches those times a price drops only for an hour or so.

I forgot the trade off for these deals :/

Amazon says I'm getting Arkham Knight first week of July. Oh well, Witcher 3 until then.

I go to Best Buy, I search for Fatal Frame 5, I get as the only result the Bluray of the Viggo Mortensen movie Hidalgo. Clicking on it displays the album cover of We Cum From Brooklyn from the Finnish band The Leningrad Cowboys.

Bravo, Best Buy.

Can you still change shipping after the order was made? Also which shipping method gives day 1 delivery? I have had orders with free shipping before, and even though it said 4-7 business days, it would always arrive on the second business day, soooooo. Hmmmmm

You using new code?

Old: E3SAVE20

New: SAVE20E3
Click to expand...

Yes, I was using the new code. I think the problem is that the offer says "valid on on items listed on this page" and right now there's nothing listed.

I only noticed because their was a banner up while I was checking the site, a banner that hasn't popped up since. Now I'm kicking myself for not documenting it.
