Was told it has to do with the fact that Futureshop/Bestbuy had a 50% off used games sale last week, and they're currently very low on used games.

only thing i can think of is lower than expected sales due to everyone waiting for the next gen and extremely high stock.

I'll dig it. But it still doesn't seem like a legit excuse to give away NEW free shit! I am excite... will play AC:BF on PS3 then upgrade for 10 bucks for PS4 then compare.

To save some time, you can reserve online:

Quote:
If I reserve a copy online, will I still get the deal?
Yes, we will honour any confirmed online reservations.
(Trade In Offer November 9-11 - Future Shop Community - 462113)

In case anyone wanted to secure a copy ahead of time.

Edit: It looks like online reservation is broken, so ymmv.

So that ended quick. Just got off the phone with FS support, and the Reserve In Store option is "broken for Call of Duty". When I asked why that was, he replied,

"Well sir it's a hot item."

so if reservations will be honoured and all the people that reserved copies will be honoured, what's that leave on the physical shelves?

^ My guess is that they have boxes of the games in the back. They'll take out the games that were reserved. The rest will be used for the offer. It'll obviously while supplies last, but since it's not just one day only, I wouldn't be surprised if they held stock over for the other 2 days.

Whatever I just said is just conjecture. I don't have any inside knowledge, but I can't see Future Shop risking negative publicity if they only had 5 games in every store for this allegedly national story.

What I'm thinking is that if you want to pay full price today, they'll sell it to you no problem. However with next-gen just around the corner, they'll have more copies of the game than in previous years because there's a set of gamers waiting for a copy on their XBone or PS4.

true enough. i can see people lining up really early, and there'd be riots if the store opened to have them inform everyone they've been sold out
