For as long as we remember, Futureshop has had an E3 sale that blew away expectations. It originally started as a pre-order two and get one free model, but since the Canadian dollar has been falling, that deal has changed. Last year, Amazon and Best Buy both entered the fray by offering 30% off games if three were purchased, but with Futureshop no more, this year’s deal isn’t as grand.
A retail listing on Best Buy Canada suggests that the special edition version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will launch later this year, with mod support included.
This would be insanely cool. I just don't actually expect it to happen, unfortunately. Realism versus optimism, I think.
Really interesting since they bitched to the high heavens about the problem they faced with Sony.
A. The Switch has more power than rumors have reported.
B. They sacrificed some graphic and texture for a more robust game.
C. Its been ported to run on Switch with Mods
Here's hoping, but just to play fair: if it does get mods, don't expect PC grade stuff.
It will work like the PS4, in that it will only be able to use in-game assets for said mods.
Definitely. Sony is particular because they will not allow any mods that require enough resources to decrease OS functionality in a significant way.
Nintendo will be particular because they have a history of their systems being hacked wide open and are probably reasonably worried that their method of deeper mod integration may come with a flaw that allows for hackers to make their first breach.
In all honesty, that lobbies and chat app will probably be the first gateway for hackers.XD
Hope this is true. Mods enhance any game greatly and keep a community active
The trailer that they have shown during the announcement looks nothing like the Skyrim HD or in this case "Special Edition"
Sorry your haters opinion clearly isn't valid. BOTW looks like an early ps2 game as well?
Yeah, well you're also one of those graphics whores who thinks BotW on Switch looks like a PS2 game, so anyone who'd take you seriously on this needs their head and eyes replaced.
It looked just fine.
"Best Buy Canada has just revealed their deals for this Black Friday 2016."
Finally, been waiting for some Cdn prices. US chains announced their's over a week ago.
I'm still looking for Cdn prices for places like Ebgames and Walmart. Glad to finally see these Best Buy prices :)
Strap on your riot gear, Black Friday is upon us. With big-name brands dropping almost everything down to a dirt-cheap price, now is the best time of year for frugal gamers to emerge from their vaults and hop on some sweet deals. Don’t know where to start? Here are some of the best deals you’ll find this Black Friday. Good luck out there, and remember; “Endure and Survive”.
Much appreciated for posting this, ChaosKnight :)
Best Buy Canada's E3 2015 sale is a whole lot better than mine.
2013 was 33% off with $60 games ($40)
2014 was 30% off with $65 games ($45)
2015 is 20% off with $80 games. ($65)
I preordered almost 20 games during the last two years, but this year, I won't pre-order a single one. I'll just wait for price drops.
Last year I got a ton at 30% off with 4 still to come whenever they release them and the prices of those went up when the dollar went down so I actually am saving even more! Whatever the deal is the lesson I learned is to pre-order as you can always cancel later on if you change your mind. 20% is better than nothing.
The Canadian retail landscape for electronics and games is getting pretty piss poor and it's not looking like it'll be getting any better any time .... ever again.
