Re: The Heads Up Thread(deals and such)
Wow that's a great deal. I think I'd go for Ghosts (hey, gotta have one CoD game) but all of my discs are just in a binder. The cases are at homeMot wrote:In Canada, all this weekend, you can trade in any current generation game and get Assassin's Creed 4, Battlefield 4 or COD Ghosts for free at Futureshop or Bestbuy. I'm pretty sure everywhere's already out of stock though. I didn't believe my friend when he told me.

Re: The Heads Up Thread(deals and such)
I looked at the Target add for the buy 2 get 1 free. I was considering Knack as the third option to my FIFA and Killzone, but was disappointed to find out they're not selling Killzone and Knack until Friday. I'm getting the system at Wal-Mart at midnight and was hoping to start my gaming adventure that night as well. So what I might do is buy FIFA and Killzone from Wal-Mart and then do the buy 2 get 1 free at Target, and return the Target games to Wal-Mart using my Wal-Mart receipt. Unless they put them out early, which I hope that they do.

Re: The Heads Up Thread(deals and such)
From what I've read from others it seems Target has the games in the back and has nothing in their system to prevent them from selling them. So if they aren't out by Tuesday and you can get the people there to grab them from the back, you can probably just do it at Target on Tuesday. If it isn't too far out of the way, I'd at least try Target on Tuesday. Some people actually got the games today, but it probably depends on the store about how much trouble it would be.
Re: The Heads Up Thread(deals and such)
I forgot to mention that the store I work at got 40 PS4's yesterday. 30 were preorders and the other 10 are up for grabs at midnight. One of those 30 is mine, and that excites me!
I think I'm going to look at tuxes for the wedding tomorrow so I'll be driving past two Targets, so I'll probably check them out to see what they have.

The targets were crap, only had Call of Duty out for PS4. Anyone else have Target luck?

Re: The Heads Up Thread(deals and such)
That stinks Bret. I went to Target. It was pretty picked over. Even missing some non-PS4 games. They only had 2 copies of Killzone and some Maddens for PS4. Nothing else... haha. The guy said that cabinet was full this morning and they sold most all of it today. But hey I wanted Killzone, so that was a plus. At this point I figure, I was getting Ratchet and Killzone this week anyway. If I get something around Ratchet's price, I'm getting a pretty good deal.
But I heard of this other angle people were working. Basically video game purchases can award you a coupon good for 30% off of a purchase of two games. But not every purchase will get you the coupon, so I bought three pre-order cards for a dollar plus some random ass CoD bottle/can huggie thing for 1 cent and rung each up individually (you have to buy them at the front cash register to get the coupon in most places too). So I basically payed $3.01 to get the 30% off coupon to use with the B2G1 (you can also return these, but given the savings, I just didn't bother). So I decided on NSMB 2 for 3DS as my third game (I wanted Mario Kart 7, but they didn't have it). Anyway ended up paying about 72 dollars for Killzone Shadow Fall, Ratchet & Clank Into the Nexus and NSMB 2 which I figure is a pretty good deal. If you use this system and buy three $60 (like PS4 games), you end up paying under 90 dollars if everything goes right. But it seems a very YMMV kind of deal. I lucked out and everything went swimmingly, but others have had toruble.

Re: The Heads Up Thread(deals and such)
Make sure you try the coin rush levels with NSMB2 Trip, the game is mostly cookie cutter NSMB (and not nearly as good as Wii or U), but those are a fun twist on time trial modes that I'm sure you'd enjoy a lot. Easily the best part. This just makes me glad I got that code from Amazon. Never wanted anything besides Killzone and Skylanders anyways.

Re: The Heads Up Thread(deals and such)
If I wasn't getting my PS4 at midnight it wouldn't be a problem, but I want something to play right when I get home. My cousin went to another store and they said they won't put out Killzone until Friday. I was always planning on getting Killzone and FIFA, just wish I could have gotten another game for free.

You could just download Resogun.

Resogun looks great. Contrast I'm a bit lukewarm on (not sure why exactly), but still looking forward to trying it out.
Re: The Heads Up Thread(deals and such)
I hate shooter games like Resogun (normally any ways) and I haven't seen anything on Contrast. Sounds more like something I'd like though.

I'm pretty sure I read that you could "buy" the free games on the PC store. Not sure about the PS3 store, though

Just waiting for the Steam Holiday Sale...
Also there's a few PS3 games I want. I'm very boring this year when it comes to buying new games though. REALLY trying to get my backlog under control before christmas.

The HD remakes of the first three Phoenix Wright games are $5 (for all of them, not per game) on iOS. Trust me, that's a fucking steal. First case in the first game is even available for free if you're unsure.

If I didn't already have Warhawk, using Home would be a small price to pay to get that game.

Re: The Heads Up Thread(deals and such)
Volvo, pspiddy is right about the pre-black friday sale. I can't remember where you got Skylanders for your PS4 at. If you got it at Wal-Mart, you should be able to go back and do a price adjustment. Act fast though, because I believe you only have 7 days to do so. Basically you'd be able to get back half of your money.
Also, all PS4 and Xbox One games are $10 off until the 29th.

Meh, I'd gladly miss out on five bucks if it means not going to Little China.

Re: The Heads Up Thread(deals and such)
If you haven't already: Go check out the Steam Autumn Sale. There are daily deals every day, and a Flash Sale that occurs every 8 hours, as well!
I feel pretty lame when it comes to console gaming as-of lately. I've been buying a sh't-ton of games from the Steam Holiday Sale, with hopes to eventually purchase Borderlands 2 (GOTY) and Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, soon.
I've shifted to a lot of PC gaming lately, so if you haven't already added me on Steam, you should! Anyway, Finals are coming up for me soon, so I doubt I'll get much gaming in (of any kind) until winter break. Hopefully I'll also be able to purchase a PS4 come early next year, as well.
