Default Future Shop: Buy two video games get one free!

Future Shop is holding a Buy 2, Get 1 Free event that runs until Thursday I believe. Looks like a promising way to get your Christmas shopping done... or Christmas shopping for yourself.

I think I'm gonna head out today and finally get COD:MW2.

Hmm... just checked the Best Buy site as well and they seem to be holding the same promotion. Well, we all win I guess!

Besides Forza 3, I have everything already. Damnit!

I could get Ratchet and Clank and the God of War collection, but I don't even play my PS3.

Haha, I did the same. Picked up Ratchet and Clank, MW2, and FIFA 10 for a christmas present. I was pretty tempted to just drop FIFA and pick up that ps3 controller bundle you just mentioned. It means that GT5 was 5 bucks!

Mine was around 135+tax and I managed to find 3 gift cards around my house that totalled up to 100 dollars (WTF?), so I got 3 games for 35 dollars! Yes!

Isn't that an odd statement?

You COULD get these awesome exclusive PS3 games, but you don't play your PS3, so what's the point? If you got games for it, wouldn't you play it?

No. My xbox would be looking at me with those sad little eyes saying "come play xbox live with me" and I can't say no.

I can't get the link to work but it's not hard to just get on the site and find it in big letters in the game section anyways.
Have to get my pennies out and find a few more I might want.

I'll go to futureshop and get you what you want if you'll paypal me the cash. Anything for a fellow Metallica fan.

Thanks, but my parents are actually going to Winnipeg tomorrow for a final Christmas shopping trip and I've given them a list of games I would want and told them about the sale so I'm sure they'll get me the top three if they're there.

Can you use this promotion with games for different systems?

Need 1 game for the Wii and 2 for the PS3

I checked the site but it doesn't mention it, or maybe i missed it

does anybody know a good game for the family? Meaning, something my wife would play. She doesn't like killing things. We have rockband already, and she plays that, but is there another game that might fit the bill?

Sing Star is good for the PS3. Scene it is a lot of fun and available on both platforms, I believe.

buzz quiz world for ps3 with 8 controller buzzers for 8 players. It comes with 4 buzzers but you can probably find the first one packed in with 4 for cheap to get 8 total. Scene it is decent but it mainly deals with movies, buzz has more categories like the dreaded bath & beauty questions. Also, both singstar and buzz are hilarious with the playstation camera hooked up. Lips is a good alternative for singstar if you only have an xbox.
