The Future Shop blog specifically said it's true. The only restrictions are one title per customer, and the game you trade in has to have a case. Crazy.

Geez. I don't even want Call of Duty or Battlefield but I'm sure both trade in quite high at EB Games right now. Would be worth it just for that.

Will be doing this for AC4 for sure.

From Future shops website

Here's how it works:
  • Trade ANY one game on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, WiiU, PS Vita or Nintendo 3DS and get a FREE copy of Assassin's Creed IV, Battlefield 4 or Call of Duty: Ghosts (Xbox 360, PS3 WiiU versions only, excludes next generation consoles - PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Regular $59.99 versions only).
  • That's right, bring-in any game title on the console or handheld console and you get three of the holiday's hottest titles for free. Limit one more customer, per title - games must include cases - and no duplicates accepted
Hell of a deal!

I believe that's supposed to read "Limit one title per customer per day - games must include cases - and no duplicates accepted."

Not really interested if they aren't PS4 or XB1 especially considering the lineups of every guy and his kids, teenagers, and geek squad in the city that will overrun every BB and Futureshop location. I guess you could pick it up and trade it in but EB will probably give you $20-$24 for them and that's not worth my time to line up. Great deal though.

Oddly enough, this crazy deal had ridden any lust I had for the new gen consoles... for now.

I know a few dudes who just modded their x360's and got all three of those games for free. If your going to hang on to a current gen system might as well mod it.

All 3 of those games are part of the digital upgrade deal where you can pay 10 bucks and unlock the PS4/Xbox One version of the game.

Quick question for those who've been through this before.

I have a preorder with Futureshop for a PS4. Will the PS4 generally arrive at my house on launch date (the 15th) or likely Monday or Tuesday the following week?

I know when I preordered GTA it came the day after release. I would like to have the PS4 for the weekend, and am hoping it will be here on the Friday.

To be honest, I'm not sure how the console launch will go. I could totally seem them not getting them out to people that day - probably more than a few won't arrive until after the weekend.

But I'd imagine that we'll have more clarity as we get closer and see if people get notifications about them being shipped out a few days early or not.

Xbox one will not play any games out of the box nor 3D blu-rays. These will have to be patched in as a day one patch.
