Also, there's usually a pre-order promotion where you'll get $15-20 Amazon credit upon purchase.
For example, Gears of War 3 still has a $20 Amazon Video Games credit going on right now. $60 for Gears, it shows up on my doorstep on release day, and my next pre-order will be $40. Win.
Gears of War 3 is $13 or $14 on Amazon pretty much all of the time, so you're not really saving anything by buying it from Best Buy. Unless, of course, you're getting those sweet, sweet Reward Points.
These prices include shipping. This is what they would sell for today on Amazon:
Total: $105 (revenue)
Which is better? The (redundant "shiny") Xbox 360 with no games, a 250Gb hard drive, and a $75 Amazon credit for $299.99....or the Gears of War 3 console with a copy Gears of War 3 (worth $59.99 on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Gears-War-3-Xbox-360/dp/B002I0H79C/ref=pd_sim_vg_4), a second controller (worth $51.03 on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Gears-War-3-Controller-Xbox-360/dp/B0050SYTJK/ref=pd_sim_vg_5), and a 320Gb (not 250Gb) hard drive for $399? http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Gears-Limited-Console-Bundle/dp/B0050SYZCQ/ref=sr_1_4?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1314806569&sr=1-4

Acutally, BestBuy.ca is now taking preorders for Gears 3 -- I placed one the other day. Free shipping too. I'm actually planning on returning the unopened copy back to the store once I've redeemed the code (that presumably they email to me).
Walmart Canada is taking preorders as well, just not on the website. You have to do it in person. When I contacted them, they didn't say anything about pre-order bonuses, but I'm assuming it will be the Savage Grenadier Elite... at least, I hope so, he looks so bad ass.
Lastly, Amazon.ca does not accept pre-orders; but Amazon.com does, and they ship to Canada. I placed an order with them as well, and they charged me 8 bucks shipping and another 8 for some export/import fee. Whatever...And of course, EB Games/Gamestop has always allowed pre-orders. They're the only ones with their their act together from the get go.
EDIT: Regarding Amazon.ca (offering pre-orders now):

vs
http://www.amazon.ca/Microsoft-GOW3-Gears-of-War/dp/B002I0H79C/
One lists the pre-order bonus, and one doesn't. The amazon.ca one gives me pause.
