Free COD, BF4, AC4:BF with Trade In

This weekend, Future Shop (Best Buy too apparently) will be allowing the trade in of any game for COD, BF4 or AC4:BF. One game per day per store according to what I've read. Looks like any game can be traded in as long as it's current gen. Enjoy!
Hi everyone,
I am sure some of you have seen the article by Matt Hartley in the Financial Post today about a trade in offer this weekend (November 9-11).
I unfortunately have to tell you that if you are interested in this promotion, you will have to bear with me in the line because I will for sure be there with you :smileyvery-happy:
This promotion is one of the best I have seen. Here is how it works. Bring a copy of ANY used Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or the Wii U game (one that works and has the original jewel case) and you can trade it in for a current generation (Xbox360, PS3 or WiiU) version of: Assassin’s Creed IV, Call of Duty: Ghosts or Battlefield 4.
That is it. No catch.
How awesome is that?
Now, a couple of small things to note: There’s a limit of one free game per customer, per day. also, there are a few stores that are not participating: Nanaimo, Kelowna, Vaughan, St. James, Garden City, Pembina and Richmond Hill.
More info also on the Tech Blog
What are you trading in and or getting?

A couple FS twitter accounts confirmed it. There's also an article on it. Nothing from best buy yet tho. I hope they do the same promo. Best Buy is a lot closer to me ever since the Metrotown futureshop closed.
Check the following twitter accounts:
Head of PR for FS (https://twitter.com/elliottchun/)
Futureshop Account (https://twitter.com/FS_Gamer/)
didn't see this thread, but i just made a post in the freebies thread too

I reserved at the Metrotown location. 1 for xbox and 1 for ps3. Did it online when I first saw the promo.
just called, they said no reserve, first come first serve, and they said they have a shit tonne of them.
kingdrew
11-08-2013, 02:50 PM
Early saturday it is. I got a reservation confirmation though so we'll see what happens.
website is down now as well. I'm sure they wouldn't advertise it if they didn't have a lot to give out. I don't know what's behind this generosity, but im sure the ppl that bought these games at launch this last week are choked.

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.
kingdrew
11-08-2013, 02:54 PM
only thing i can think of is lower than expected sales due to everyone waiting for the next gen and extremely high stock.
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.
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:
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 (http://community.futureshop.ca/t5/Gaming-Announcements/Trade-In-Offer-November-9-11/td-p/462113))
In case anyone wanted to secure a copy ahead of time.
Edit: It looks like online reservation is broken, so ymmv.

how many craigslist ads ppl selling COD/BF4/AS, will i see tomorrow? lol
m3thods
11-08-2013, 04:11 PM
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."
:pokerface:
so if reservations will be honoured and all the people that reserved copies will be honoured, what's that leave on the physical shelves?
Posted via RS Mobile
m3thods
11-08-2013, 04:20 PM
^ 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.
so you figure they'll receive/have stock aside for this? cause the futureshop on bridgeport told me they were sold out too :/ wondering how limited the quantities really are

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

I have no idea why they are doing this, but it is not for the fear of having left over stock. You realize that the actual value in the cd and the case for it is absolutely ZERO. I mean if costs them pennies to make so why the fuck would they care if they have to throw out 100000 CD's?
The $60 we pay for the game is all the value of the content on that disc. And them giving that away for so cheap seems ridiculously generous to me. I'm definitely heading gonna try to grab COD.

don't you need ID to sell a used game?
I could be wrong but I presume this is how their gonna check for the 1 per customer per day

it's always been that way for their weekly trade-in promotions, 1 per customer per day. if they recognize you, they can decline. if they don't, there's nothing stopping you from doing a 2nd or 3rd trade.
they dont ask for ID, but they do take down your name and #. however, you can just use a different # and hope they don't recognize you

11-09-2013, 06:45 AM
the reason why they are doing this is because people who are fans of these games are most likely to have purchased and finished these games by now.

11-09-2013, 07:42 AM
I think they are doing this because it is a market reaction to the low demand for cod/ac/bf series this year. They are also promoting the trade in program at bb/fs and hoping they are your one stop shop for games and accessories.

Holy shit South Van Bestbuy was a clusterfuck.
Lined up at 9:10 ish, see around 30 people in front of me. :notbad:
9:30 - Some brown guy called all his friends and cousins and uncles which started to pile in the lineup. At least 15-20 of them all cut in line.
10:00 - Everyone was lining up to get in through the in store pickup door, then Bestbuy officially opened the front doors and everyone went in through that instead, now theres 2 lines that merged into one.
Got a copy near 11:15 with probably 100 people still behind in line.

usually no shipments on weekends/holidays, so unless the store still has boxes they have yet to put into the system, it's highly unlikely that they will replenish before this deal expires :concentrate:

Holy shit South Van Bestbuy was a clusterfuck.
Lined up at 9:10 ish, see around 30 people in front of me. :notbad:
9:30 - Some brown guy called all his friends and cousins and uncles which started to pile in the lineup. At least 15-20 of them all cut in line.
10:00 - Everyone was lining up to get in through the in store pickup door, then Bestbuy officially opened the front doors and everyone went in through that instead, now theres 2 lines that merged into one.
Got a copy near 11:15 with probably 100 people still behind in line.
Saw a couple RSers tho, Freshvibe's Subi, Nvasion's TL, an Accord coupe with wheels, and someone's white FRS on gold rims.
If anyone has some PS3 COD Ghosts i have the xbox version if you wanna trade.
Omg I was a few people behind the huge group of brown people that cut the line. Cause of them I missed getting my ps3 CoD.

People abused the shit out of this. I have no idea why but the Park royal FS was allowing people to get one copy of each game, ON EACH CONSOLE. The early people who lined up walked out with 6 games a piece... It clearly said 1 game per customer.
So even by like 10:00 there was only COD left for both consoles...
I ended up picking up 3 copies of COD for xbox, just to fuck everyone else over like I got fucked. :ilied:
Now I'm just giving them to my friends, so atleast we can pay together while we wait for next gen consoles...

Any word on 360 BF4 at other locations? I worked today and was ready to punch some asshole in the face who told me to turn around because of the reserve line when I went to Surrey Central tonight. Tried to reason that I couldnt reserve and they were all "Oh it was reserve online for 20 minutes." 20 minutes? Do they not know that the servers would get slammed and it would get overloaded? Lost some faith in humanity with some of these stories.

For those in Vancouver, Future Shop on Robson St. will be opening again tomorrow at 11am and they do have COD:Ghosts left and that's it. The staff was pretty much shutting the line down and told people to come back in the morning (11am).
Poor kid in front of me was only 15 and they wouldn't let him buy a game. Us in line suggested we help him but they said he had to have his guardian here. So the staff accepted the idea of calling his mom which she did and all was good. THEN his game was not for resale lol. I did my good karma of the day and helped the kid out by giving the kid my spare ps3 game. I guess they're still pretty strict on the not for resale games and age restriction.

Shit, can't believe I just heard about this NOW :(
Doubt I would have waited for hours to score a game though.
Anyone go to Coquitlam locations? I wonder if it's worth swinging by tomorrow? Honor the veterans by playing a war game? :badpokerface:
