I'm curious if that buy 2 get 1 deal is offered in-store only? If you could get it online, perhaps that could help you get some of the games that you couldn't find.

No it's in store only :(

Here in London Ontario it's Best Buy that has the buy 2 get one free sale and they have lots of ps3 games. I was in there the other day buying Dragon Age for $39.99 when an employee told me about the sale coming up.

Bummer.

I suppose the only other way to take advantage is to ask someone you know who may live near one in a different city to check. Though, that may be a longshot.

Yeah I could do that.

But I think I'll wait for Boxing Day. :)

most of the good games are sold out at my local Bestbuy, PS3, 360 alike.

I hardly think having games sold out means "fail".

but hey, whatever you want to think

They were not out of stock.

I never saw InFamous at that Futureshop before (except the first couple of weeks when the game came out) and Killzone 2 was simply not there. I went at the beginning of the deal so it would make no sense if they were out of stock.

Used to be like that here in Australia the first year that the PS3 was out. Things have thankfully changed a lot since then.

They hate the Canadids. Rally your hockey sticks and gather jars of maple syrup and assualt the tryanical Futureshop!

LOL, im canadian, I dont play or listen to hockey, I also dont use maple syrup :P.

A pretty lousy Canadian!

The hockey I can forgive, but... You got some kind of medical condition where you can't drink tree blood?

 

On topic, yeah, Future Shop's software selection is dodgy at the best of times. No VC, no MGS4, NSMBW sold out. I did manage to find enough decent Wii games to take advantage of the 3 for 2 deal, though. How did I live this long wihout Muramasa?
