For real? So it's... Order 3, then get 1/3 off every game in your bucket? Not sure if that's how it was intended, but if so, awesome lol.
EDIT: Just checked, same! damnit what do I do now.

Goddamn this is a good deal. I'm going to order all of the games I'm planning to buy up through September or October with this...after tomorrow and tuesday's press conferences to see if any next-gen versions of current gen games are announced that is.
Also, isn't futureshop historically bad about shipping E3 preorder games on time or something? That worries me a bit.

I'm doing my shopping for the year with that then. At least... for now.
Pre-ordering Pokemon X and Shin Megami Tensei IV which I was gonna get anyway, adding Rome 2 and Watch Dogs.
GTA 5 is only in the promotion for consoles, but not for PC... which kinda sucks, but oh well.

For me it has been release date shipping 80% of the time... otherwise you get a promo code for a discount in your e-mail as an apology for being late (in my experience, anyway).
Edit:
I put in an order for...
GTAV
FFX|X-2
Dark Souls 2
Tales of Xillia
Assassin's Creed IV
Lightning Returns
Probably will make another order for some other games after tomorrow... we'll see. Not even really sure if I want FFX|X-2 or ACIV but whatever lol

Sounds good to me then!
For some reason it's not letting me look at my shopping cart anymore...some weird "The page may be temporarily unavailable or may no longer exist" error. Well...okay.
Guess i'll head to bed and try again in the morning!

So there's a confirmed rumor that Microsoft is paying third parties not to mention PS4 versions of their games, and mannnnn I hope that doesn't fuck things up for Futureshop's preorder deal.

I guess I'm gonna wait till tomorrow before putting any preorders, just to decide on which console I'm gonna be ordering!

Is the futureshop thing working for anyone? I'm not getting the full 20 dollar discount.

worked for me
edit: I had games I wanted in a cart before the sale went live, maybe that's why?

I'm not getting 20 dollars off... Only 13.33.
Does it not work for Vita/3DS games or something?
Ah, it seems to scale with whatever the price of your game is. 60 gets 20 off, 40 gets 13.33 off.
Added SR4, TLOU, SMTxFE, SMT IV and Bravely Default (localization for that was announced?) for a grand total of $201.54. Great deal! Quick question, though - will it charge gift cards before credit cards? I've never done a mixed order, and have $160 in gift cards. I'd rather those used up before my credit card is charged.
So far I pre-ordered The Last of Us, Beyond: Two Souls, Tales of Xillia, Dragon's Crown, SMTIV and South Park. I'm waiting for MGSV to be available, and I'll do another batch with that and Dark Souls 2. I'll wait and see which game will fill the final spot.
In my experience you get your money back, and not in-store credit or anything.

Never ordered from futureshop before but this is a damn good deal. I'm thinking of snagging Pokemon X/Y for certain, but I'm wondering does the deal work long term too? Like if I preorder Monolith's X Wii U, Super Mario Wii U, and Legend of Zelda Wii U will the deal still work? Or does it have to be games releasing this year?

Can anyone else confirm that games less than 60 do not receive 20 off? I just want to know before I order.
Yeah, you can ask for cash back.
They don't. I pre-ordered several handheld games. SMTIV, which is $49.99, is now $33. Dragon's Crown goes from $40 to $27 or so. I also had South Park in with these two, and it got the $20 off, being a $60 game.

Wouldn't most of the games still qualify for free shipping, even with the discount?
You're right, they should... But it's not an option for me. I'm forced either Ground $3.99 or Air (lolno)
Edit: Checking their Free Shipping page, Pre-order items are no longer eligible. When the heck did this happen?
That's odd, all my shipping is free.

Huh, if that's true, I wonder if they're doing that specifically for this event.

The site seems to being hammered. It's taking a while to load for me. lol

The source? Not in the one I frequent. All the sealed games are on display on the display counter behind the cash. Plus, it's broken street date a number of times (I've picked up 2-3 titles before their release from that location), so it's not surprising that corporate probably clamped down by making the computer tell them not to sell the game. It would have been mine otherwise.
Yea all my shipping is free too. I ordered Pokemon X and Y and Smash Bros 3DS. Separated into two shipments and both are free. That was like 30 mins ago.

I wonder if it's better to order 40/50 dollar games on Best Buy, if they're giving the full points regardless of the game you buy.
The fact that they don't list the points on your actual order makes me fairly skeptical though.

At $40 it's a wash, since with the $20 certificate it comes out to 1/3 off also like Futureshop, except now you have to spend that $20 in-store. At $50 it's 5% less savings with Best Buy, but again you'd have to spend that certificate.

Is that because of taxes?
Just some quick math:
$40: you spend 40, get 60 worth of stuff - 1/3 off
$50: spend 50, get 70 - just under 30% off, so you actually pay 5% more (71% to 66%)
Go with FS.
Cool, and to double check Futureshop will ship the entire package of all the first run SMTIV swag like that huge book right?
Also what happens if I cancel an order when one item has shipped already? I was thinking of doing another order for SSB3DS with some other stuff and I don't think we'll get a release date for that even at E3. There might be a better deal somewhere else by then.

At least you can make an order. The page keeps timing out... I just want to order this stuff before I sleep!
Hrm, yeah, I guess that's one way to look at it.
You can cancel individual items, but only if you call in.
And the first print edition of SMT4 seems to be for all copies - FS/BB have gotten all the Atlus bonus stuff before, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Do Futureshop pre-orders for Dragon's Crown get the art book?

It's not listed there even though EB Games Canada and Amazon.ca are...

Hmm I guess I'll wait for what else is announced at E3 then. Thanks.
SMTIV, Bravely Default and Mario & Luigi for now then. I'm kinda wary of pre-ordering Dark Souls 2 on PC, I have a feeling that Bamco will go in hard with Steam/TF2 goodies. Or at the very least, GMG will have something comparable anyway.

If you guys are having issues with shipping it's probably because the order defaulted one of your items to pay for shipping and for some reason that makes you pay for all the other items as well.
Happened to me. One item was defaulted to air shipping at the rest were $3 something ground. Changed the air one to free and all the rest became free.

I just need them to throw up all the yummy PS4 games and I'm in heaven. I only have three games currently.

Thanks, added those - up to 5 games already without PS4 :/
Lol, and what about pre-ordering Trine 2 for Wii U or Tekken for 3DS? If you only wanted to order 1 or 2 games and get the full discount, I don't think those orders will ever go through and get charged to your credit card.
That made no sense. What are you trying to say?
Because you have to order games in multiples of 3 to get the full discount, so if you only wanted to buy 1 or 2, then order them along with 2 or 1 games that will never be released so that you only ever get charged for the 1 or 2 games you want and yet get the full discount on them.
