What is this referring to?

[ZEDGE]

I only want digital.. :(

[schocker]

It has begunnnn
^^ preorder games from either and save money

I am going to buy from BB to save a few dollars and they are all the same anyways. For PC games I would typically wait for GMG deals though but you have to pay upfront there. Far Cry $69.99 on PC, seriously?

Preordering games in general during E3 next week I believe.

[schocker]

I did:
PC - Witcher 3, Civ BE
Xbox One- Assassins Creed, halo
PS4- The Order

Waiting to see what else is announced next week and will wait for other pc games on GMG (Arkham, Battlefield, Sims 4, Evolve, Far Cry)
I will just use steam in home streaming to stream to my macbook and play on my tv :D

[Despair*]

I still have a ton of games on order from E3 last year. Destiny, The Witcher 3, Halo, Metal Gear Solid 5, and all for last years price of $40 each.

If anything good comes on preorder this year I will likely do the same. Why pay the full new retail price of 69.99 when you can get a nice chunk off each game by ordering a bunch that you'd buy anyways.

Such a rip off that digital copies are selling for 69.99.

If u do best buy sign up for rewards card and then the gamer zone thing for double points on games

With this latest announcement (http://kotaku.com/you-can-now-officially-use-an-xbox-one-controller-on-1586570676) I think steam streaming is a viable option for me to do now for some games I wouldn't normally buy like Arkham, even though I don't have an X1.

I also have a crap ton of controller friendly games bought from Steam sales that I never played, finally PC graphics, controller and big screen = :clap:

If you are doing wireless you need to make sure you have a strong connection though. I use wireless AC on 5ghz to get it to have no lag. Works awesome on my mac, just need a super long hdmi cable to plug in and set up the xbox controller on mac.

Also worth looking since the Xbox One controller drivers are now out for windows as that controller is awesome.

Make sure to also order games in batches of like 5 or less so that if you need to cancel an order the whole order is cancelled otherwise you can return individually to the store if you buy it elsewhere or get it for another system. This also works if you want to get a game that won't arrive for another day or two, buy identical version at BB or FS and return with the store receipt the copy from the mail

[beyond_ban]

So how do I get this deal? Is there a code or something I have to use at checkout?

[Despair*]

For console games you just add whatever you'd like to preorder to your cart, and go through the checkout. Once you do that the discount is applied to your order. And your CC will be charged at the time each game ships.

[beyond_ban]

^ thanks! I'm going to set an order up later today.

Your welcome. You may want to wait a bit before you place an order. Throughout next week during E3 there will be a ton of new games announced which Futureshop and Best Buy will be continually adding to their preorders sales online. The Deal is set to start on June 6 and to to the 12th.

So you still have a fair amount of time to figure out what you want to preorder.

[beyond_ban]

Oh okay, solid advice. I know I'm going to get NHL 15, NBA 2k15, but hopefully Project Cars gets added to the list as well.

[DeleriousZ]

So are any of these deals available for digital download? Or are they disc only?

I'm done buying discs... never again!

Disc only from FS and BB, they don't sell codes.

Amazon.com sells ps4 digital codes and you can wait months for the digital copies to go on sale on the systems....... or just buy it on pc if you are going to be such a baby! :D

Yeah, no patience for physical media.

[rage2]

I only buy digital now too. Only problem is, my DVD/BD/XBOX etc shelf is only 1/2 full, and I'll never get it filled up.

[Despair*]

Have any of you guys put in orders yet? I'm going to do mine probably tomorrow since the promo ends on the 12th. Most of the games should have been revealed by now and should be up on the site to order. I'm still thinking on what to get. There are a lot of good choices.

[beyond_ban]

I havent yet, and im still debating what to get. I know i am getting NHL 15 for sure, leaning towards Far Cry, but am undecided between drive club and the crew. Also, i dont see an option to pre order Project Cars on BB's site.

[Wraith]

Amazon is a better deal as most of the games are at $60 instead of $70. Only negative is, it's a bit of a hassle if you intend to return anything.

[beecue]

^ How so? $70 games are $48.99 after the discount at BB.

[K3RMiTdot]

Can I trade forza horizon 2 for the limited edition version when it comes out? and just pay the balance owing?

[Wraith]

Hmm, weird. It was like $42/game this morning.

that's because Amazon reduced their sale from 30 to 15%

My amazon pre order came to be about 15 bucks cheaper then BB. This was done today. worked out to about 47 bucks per game.

[schocker]

Amazon has been different pricing every day. First day was like 15% then 15% and an extra 15%. Then it was 15% and 15% and then it was 15% and 15% and like 3% to make it actually 30%. Bought a few last night and it was somehow like 31% overall off. The early ~38% was the best though before they fixed it.

[n1zm0]

There are no digital PC preorder deals anywhere, none of this is fair :rofl:

What is GMG? I only want digital too, so I'm interested if there will be any deals on digital versions of these games.

Greenmangaming.com
I buy most of my pc games from there. Sign up for email and they send you codes all the time that you can also stack generally. Gives steam keys for most games, UK based, USD pricing.

They charge you when you purchase though like steam does so I usually wait closer to release date to pre-order

[beecue]

Last year:

Xbox - Halo 5, Division, UFC, Destiny, MGS5

This year:

Xbox - COD, BF, Crew, NHL, Evolve, Sunset Overdrive, Forza, Halo MC, Rainbow Six, Homefront, Crackdown, Quantum Break, Dying Light, Batman Arkham Knight, Star Wars, Mirrors Edge, Mortal Kombat, Fable Legends
