I want to the Westhill loaction. They are sold out of Assassin’s Creed for both systems.

So I ended up picked up two copies of COD. I was told that I have until Jan 5th to exchange it for any other game (Assassin’s Creed IV or Battlefield 4) when they have them back in stock. However, I have to keep my receipt and game must remain sealed. Hope that helps anyone thinking of still going.

If anyone sees an extra copy of Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed 4 both for the PS3 and they have some old games kicking around would they be able to pick me up a copy of each? I searched around in the NW and it looks like I'm out of luck.

Future Shop by Sunridge was packed at 9:30 this morning. Store opened up early, but still didn't get out until 11 am. They nixed the 3 for 3 right away too - had staff wandering up and down the line telling everyone that it was one only, and even checked IDs as they wouldn't do the exchange with anyone under 18.

PS3 verion of AC3 was gone by 11, but they had plenty of others. Got Ghosts for now. Might go back again to see what is left later. They took NHL08, but rejected a "not for resale" game

I have a "friend" who works at Future Shop here in Abbotsford. He knew about this deal since Thursday and didn't tell anyone because, "company policy says we've got to keep it quiet."

What a company man. Anyone else but him would've let some friends know. A-hole.

Coventry FS was ridiculous. The line up was over 2 hours long. But you know, after waiting 1 hour, you're committed to see the whole thing through. At least I finally got rid of my original Street Fighter 4.

I'm in Edmonton went to future shop downtown. Walk to see line and just left because line was ridiculous. Friend texted me to go south common line up because only 30 minutes so I quickly went there and got cod and bf4. They had assassins creed too but can only get one per person. Couldn't decide but went with my bread and butter. Wouldn't have waited a few hrs but the half hour was worth it

They enforced a one per customer per day here but a group of kids in front of us who had like 6 kids+ budge too knew the cashier and each got like four games. A bit ridiculous

when I was getting my game one of the clerks was saying to one of her co-workers one of their stores in Toronto ran out of all 3 games in 35 minutes, not sure if it's true or not but if it is that's crazy

I"d say maybe call in before you go just to check.....but I'd imagine most stores will be down to a limited selection

I called around today and some stores said they'd get stock in tomorrow and Monday. It would be worthwhile to call. If I find anything I'll post here so that others can benefit from this crazy deal.

Productive day today.

Got 1 AC, 1 BF, 2 COD PS3 and 1 COD 360 - 4 of those came from BB on 17th Ave - went at 10am, 90 mins later had 2 games, then went again at 8:30PM and got the last PS3 copy of CoD.

They actually honored the 1 per person, so luckily my g/f helped me out

So you acted like a POS for a day. Congrats on 5 game out of 3 possible achievement. Honestly that's pathetic and people like you will be reasons why wonderful things like this wont happen in the future.

Relatively painless 45 minutes in Lethbridge. Got one of the last copies of Bf4 (Xbox) for NHL 07. I showed up at the store around 12:30.

Sucks to be you, but honestly I don't give a crap what you think - this has helped out with my X-mas shopping for the year - nephews and friends taken care of.

Yeah not sure what the issue is with that, or how it even remotely makes you a POS.

Not like you picked up 10 games and are selling them on Kijiji.

Games for the most part were available all day, if you weren't able to get one it's likely due to not wanting to wait in line for the hour to get them.
