Canada E3 Deals 2015 IOTI Actually, even better than last year!
- Thread starter mdubs

It's going to be pretty painful lol. I've never pre-ordered games from them but I got my Interstellar blu-ray pre-order from them about a month after release. Their free shipping times have been awful since they introduced prime.

Please let there be a price cut for the Wii U this year. I really wan't one but i am so low on money 
this sucks
this sucks There might be in the US (250 USD, a $50 drop) but I'm quite sure it's going to happen to Canada since 250 USD = 308 CAD.Please let there be a price cut for the Wii U this year. I really wan't one but i am so low on money

Updated. Also responded to some PMs.
If I have time I can try and put together a list of what IS on Amazon as well, but I can't make any promises as I'm moving this week and need to pack (I know, this week of all weeks, right?). The not-on-Amazon list seemed more useful as a) you can at least browse the list of eligible games on Amazon, and b) this list allows us to focus our efforts when asking Amazon.ca to put up new pre-orders for the promo.

Missing from that list are Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax and Nitroplus Blasterz: Infinite Heroine Duel
Man, there are at least 5 games from that list that I wanna pre-order Amazon pls.
The only option you have right now is wait for a sale or pray that Nintendo will give the same price drop here. It was $240 at Chapters via 20% off visa checkout last month. Too bad you weren't visiting the Canadian Deal thread.

I hope they take down some of the games you want and you feel bad for not putting in an order right now.

I have no Visa so that would not have helped me a bit.
with everything i have to pay (house, food, daughters school etc.) 300$ really is to much for my budget. haha i know it's terrible right. Hopefully i can finaly own a Console, reading only about games is getting very depressing haha. Really really crossing my fingers that a 50$ price cut is on the way.Holy hell >_> I can only think of five, and two of them are very dependent on what I see tomorrow.
Uhh I preordered 3 games just to get 30% off for Amazon.
I might do multiple orders when they add more.
The discount comes off the total price, and the individual prices don't change on the order, does it actually show up in their system?
I just wonder what will happen if I cancel one game out of the order, will the fuck up the discount for my other games?
EDIT:
I only ordered 3 for now.
Fire Emblem
Dungeon Travelers
Uncharted 4 (kinda regret canceling my $48.99 one last year but it's only $4 more, too hyped now)

Amazon just barely keeping Canada deals alive for another year
Still, 30% off $80 ain't great... Won't be pre ordering much this year.
Yeah, it really blows. A discount is a discount, I suppose.

Thankfully the majority of games aren't $80 yet.

I have five in my cart:
Nathan Drake Collection
Until Dawn
Fallout 4
NHL 16
Just Cause 3
Until Dawn might not make the cut. Not because I don't want it but because MGSV comes out a week after and NHL 16 is also in September, so by the time I get around to playing Until Dawn it might have already had a price cut or two. Or NHL 16 might not preview well (again) and that might get the cut. Bah, who knows, but since they don't charge you until the game ships, there's really no downside to pre-ordering as much as possible.

Better than 20% with single-use codes.

Anyone else get this error: "The promotional code you entered is invalid for your purchase" when they try to pre-order anything?
I have no Visa so that would not have helped me a bit.

Sounds it is best to hold off till the 18th once the batch of games eligible will be fully disclosed.
You're probably trying to preorder something that isn't part of the promotion. This is the current list.

On Amazon at least. Bestbuy is jacking their prices already.

Sweet deal but it still hurts to think ~$56 is a deal this year
Ordered:
Fallout 4
Ratchet and Clank
FFXV
Waiting for more E3 game reveals in case to make another order with BLOPS3 (and hopefully price errors along with them)!

First time doing an E3 preorder and I'd like to know this too.
I wouldn't put it past them since they often raise and lower prices without notice depending on competitors. I would put in orders now, since you can always cancel and reorder in a few days

Just saw this. Dengeki Bunko should already be in, but I added Nitroplus Blasterz.
I'd pre-order now just in case. You can always remake your order and cancel the previous one--that's basically standard operating procedure for us vets! Come E3 time, anything is possible, including price increases.

I thought the prices were locked in to the lowest price once you place the pre-order, according to their pre-order guarantee?
EDIT: Nevermind. I think that's what you were alluding too.

Remeber, Amazon does their discounts per basket. If you have any previous games pre-ordered at a lower price you can request to have them moved to a basket with the E3 deal and the discount should be applied. I know this works with games that already qualify, though I'm unsure about those that don't. Got my 45$ FE if pre-order moved on to my E3 basket and still got the 30% off. Also, if someone tells you it isn't possible, they are likely lying to you. If need be, request to have the game added to your new order at your ordered price and cancel the previous one. This isn't likely to apply to many things, but if you pre-ordered stuff at a lower price earlier you can get your discount.

Because if you only want 2 games from the announcements, you're screwed.
Exactly, better to lock in the prices now to get the guarantee.
Cancel one item from big order and reorder in smaller order?

I guess I'll wait a few day after e3 starts before I order anything.
