Couldn't pass up Fire Emblem for that price, I've been putting it off for so long, thanks OP!

[zionoverfire]

Damn you BB, it refuses to accept my address. Oh well I suppose that means more money in my pocket.

[nachzeher]

Hey zion I can help you order if you want. Fire Emblem is a phenomenal game that no one should miss out on. Anyway, this is the first time I'm glad that I'm up studying for a mid term. :D

Thanks wlau.

[CD]

Finally time to pick up Billy Hatcher and Pac-Man Collection, can't beat those prices :)

And everyone who doesn't have Kirby or Fire Emblem should hop on them at those prices. Incredible games and you'll get a lot of playtime for your money.

[CouRageouS]

hmm...hope i can get Fire Emblem for $9.99 in-store too. Thanks for the heads up wlau!

[nachzeher]

Hey CourageouS, don't count on it. Your best bet is to order it online and opt for store pickup.

[Camre]

Hooray for Kirby!

[zionoverfire]

Hey zion I can help you order if you want. Fire Emblem is a phenomenal game that no one should miss out on. Anyway, this is the first time I'm glad that I'm up studying for a mid term. :D

Thanks wlau.

Actually I already had a copy of Fire Emblem and I traded it away, hmm is it worth $13?

It's worth $49.99. I bought it close to full price (after GGC) and I've never regretted it. If you're a fan of SRPGs, which judging from your taste in games (Brigandine, hoshigami), pick it up.

Plus, I don't see a price drop happening on this anytime soon.

[CD]

hmm...hope i can get Fire Emblem for $9.99 in-store too. Thanks for the heads up wlau!

You may as well just get it online, man, unless you know for a fact that one of your local stores has it in stock as of the past few days or something.

I get the feeling most or all of these will be sold out and possibly gone from BB's site for good within the next 12 hours.

It's worth $49.99.

Yes but it gave me such frustrations, I remember redoing many many battle mulitple times and I don't think I can handle that again. Thanks for the offer though.

[Battousai1002]

Very nice deals.

[smartasien]

Just bought fire emblem for 11.72 cuz I used my mcD BB dollar HAHAHA :roll:

[defiance_17]

Thanks OP.

[ZForce915]

For the money I had to pick up all 3 GBA games. Woohoo, thanks OP!

[darkwingduck13]

Man, why can't these deals be in-store? :P

[Morpheus]

They are in-store. A few near me have a few of these games instock.

Forgot to mention my thanks for the deal. :D

-Morpheus

[The Successful Dropout]

thanks op...picked up fire emblem, wrath, and kirbys....used 3 $1 mcdonalds thingies

[Dok Diamond]

Can someone pick me up a fire emblem i cant order online.

[Edge]

Hmm, here's another one to add to the list:

Magic the Gathering: Battlegrounds
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1060002781478&skuId=5864362&product CategoryId=cat02125&type=product

Wish my local Bestbuy had Fire Emblem in stock, the shipping just barely made me decide against it.

[pimp tyranny]

got fire emblem, if only for collection value. i don't have a GBA yet.

[minx]

got kirby.......thanks:-)

[Querjek]

Ordered Billy Hatcher and Fire EMblem--I guess it was worth it to put off buying these for a year!

[jrutz]

Yeah thanks for the deal - picked up Wrath, Fire Emblem and Pac Man!

Jeremy

[EndlessChris]

I was waiting for the Toys R' Us sale to finally pick up Fire Emblem but now it seems I can rethink that decision.

Great finds Op, thanks.

[Admiral Ackbar]

I got Fire Emblem. Was thinking about Billy Hatcher but my CC's have a ton of these for $15. Gonna wait till they drop the price there because they aren't selling.

I hope they have a $5 sale for Hatcher.

Stupid shipping.

[mytoy333]

Dang Bestbuy site down and links do not work. We must have swamped them!!!

[danh920]

crap, i was just in bb a couple days ago and they still wanted $30 now there's none for in store pickup

still worth the extra $2 to ship though

thanks for the post

[Doylerulez]

Thanks, got Fire Emblem. I've had Kirby since it came out, so that's a good deal, fun game.

[MadFlava]

Awesome Deal wlau, you always posts the best deals on this site. I finally picked up Fire Emblem, a game I've been waiting for over a year now. Now all I need is the strategy guide to complete the collection.

After reading the reviews on Kirby, I had to pick up that too. It's sounds like my type of game, and for $10 its a bargain. I really shouldn't be spending money before the TRU BOGO but what the heck.

I just hope I didn't get into this deal too late and all my stuff gets backordered and cancelled again. I have such bad luck with Best Buy. I ordered Final Fantasy Origins from them for $5 and got an out of stock e-mail. They cancelled my order without notifying me. Now they have FF Origins in stock for $15.

[Wet Ninja]

I picked up Fire Emblem. I got in on the e-Reader/GBA bundle for $35 at Amazon a few weeks ago, and now I finally have my first GBA game :D Thanks wlau.

[craven_fiend]

thank for the post op. i can finally get my brother a copy of fire emblem that he has desperately been waiting for.

[Sofa King Cheap]

Thanks OP.

Hopefully Kirby and Fire Emblem are mine (without backorder/cancellation hell).

[slidecage]

I almost picked up billy but then seen its only 17.00 used at Gamestop so i just picked up the FIre game... I already own this game but im going to dump the copy i got at Ebgames today for 14 and just keep the new one sealed.... Thanks OP


Just too bad they wasnt 5 each :)

[Ravenlunatic]

Fire Emblem is sold out

[slidecage]

man i must got one of the last copies of this game...... I will probally wait and see if the game comes before selling my used copy..... Remember folks if you get a back order or cancell call up and complain

[DCGCPlayer]

They are in-store. A few near me have a few of these games instock.
Yeah - Fire Emblem is listed as available and in stock at every local BB near my zip code. Off to thew B&M I go!

[SneakyPenguin]

Thanks, I just got Kirby. I should've woken up earlier, to get Fire Emblem too. Oh well.

[rebthor]

I wish that I had gotten Kirby. Did get Billy Hatcher as I was interested and found the demo fun, finally hit my price range. Too bad I had to pay shipping though.

[EddieBelfour]

props OP, in store pickup on the way to schoooooool... is billy hatcher any good anyway?

[schultzed]

Thanks! Got a Billy H ordered about an hour ago. . . . hopefully it will come! . . . $15 was too much . . . $12 isn't . . . :roll:

[Jaket]

i gave up billy hatcher for an extra copy of fire emblem...

having 2nd thoughts :(

[epobirs]

They want to charge shipping for each item instead of collectively? For friggin' games?

Screw that. I'll settle for whatever is in stock B&M.

[Strider Turbulence]

I'm pretty sure I saw most of those games at 4 different BB stores last week but they are all UNAVAILABLE according to the website.

[EddieBelfour]

props OP, in store pickup on the way to schoooooool... is billy hatcher any good anyway?


cant pick it up in store, but they will ground ship it for free =)

[epobirs]

cant pick it up in store, but they will ground ship it for free =)

How is that? I'm at the checkout screen and they want to charge me $5.97 to ship three games. What makes free shipping kick in?

[shrike4242]

Picked up Billy Hatcher (in-store pickup) and Kirby (shipped).

Fire Emblem was OOS.

I just picked up Wrath last month for $19.99 and Pac-Man Collection for $14.99 (PM'd down to $9.50 thanks to TRU having it at $9.99).

Proof that even when you think you have a deal, there's always a better deal out there.

And further proof that BB needs to get their head out of their ass on shipping. $25 from CC gets free shipping, BB just stiffs the customer on shipping. More incentive to do instore pickup, I suppose. Even if they did $50 for free shipping, I'm sure I'd find things to get it up to that point.

They use to have free shipping on orders that are $25 or more but I don't see it advertised anymore.

purchase $25 dollars on an order.

I have three items at $9.99 each. It isn't causing any change to the shipping, which is an exhorbitant $1.99 per game.

all i ordered was billy hatcher. i have about a half hour drive out to school and BB was is on the way, so i was going to pick it up in store but they didnt have it. so im guessing its because i couldnt pick it up in store and if they lose my business, BB will cease to exist :roll:

[shrike4242]

Anyone want to take bets before we see the dreaded "backordered" or "out of stock" emails?

[EddieBelfour]

i swear man, ill never order from there again if that happens. ill never even go there, they suck anyway.

[epobirs]

BB apparently doesn't want my money today. I can wait for some place with better shipping charges to offer the same products and prices.

[Weedy649]

wow. so many BB haters out there, oh well give a good deal and some people will itch and moan because they didnt get in on it.
I missed out on fire emblem>.< but i did pick up billy hatcher. I coulda got kirby but=/ that can wait to be bought way later on.

[evilmax17]

These are supposed to be the same price B&M right?

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Kirby and Fire Emblem sold out ... I'll have to hit the B&M.

[alongx]

mother....I missed Fire Emblem! Dammit!

[Sofa King Cheap]

Anyone want to take bets before we see the dreaded "backordered" or "out of stock" emails?

For some, yes. Their inventory system isn't exactly top notch. I bet a straw wrapper I get a back-order notice for Fire Emblem, as I ordered it right before it became SOLD OUT. ;)

[slidecage]

I ordered it right along with you right before the sell out. I ordered it then check the page again and it was sold out

[shrike4242]

Wow, a straw wrapper, some really big spenders around here. :lol:

[shrike4242]

All of the items put up by the OP are deleted SKU's. For those of you that don't know what that entails, it is:

* Might be restocked at the store, though chances are extremely slim. Most likely never.
* It might be restocked on the website, though chances are slim, but it's not impossible.
* It's been discounted to some low price (normally $4.99 or $9.99) to blow it out from the warehouse side of things.

Chances are, we won't see any more copies in-store ever again, and maybe never from the website.

And yes, the website still has inventory issues where it might report the item in-stock at all nearby stores when it's not. Happens a lot more with deleted SKU's than non-deleted SKU's. Bitch to them if you think this is crap. Which I've done.

[alongx]

It's official - Best Buy hates me. I go to the B&M and there's no more copies of Fire Emblem. There is, however, a copy of Advance Wars 2 which has been $5 for a while now. I get a price check on it, and it's back up to $20.

THAT is a suck. I was lucky enough to get AW 2, but no Fire Emblem for me. then again, I'm sure someone who's got an extra copy would find something in my trade list ;)

[flybrione]

Picked up Kirby been waiting on a price drop on this for a long time. Thanks to the OP

[slidecage]

i was going to pick up Kirby and billy but ended up just with FIre since i want to save my money for 30% off Ebgames and the TRU deal

[Morpheus]

My copy of Fire Emblem was shipped this morning. Says so in the order status page.

Status: 1 item(s) shipped via GROUND on 10/18/04 via USPS NONUMBERFORYOUFOOL

Damn that was quick. 8)

There inventory system is very shaky online. I don't understand why sometimes they sell more games than they actually have in stock. They did this to me once already but the rest of my orders I have had a positive experience. I'll just complain if my Fire Emblem is backordered, tell them I passed up another deal on it and now both are sold out. Maybe if I complain enough they will give me a gift card or something :)

[Wet Ninja]

I just got a backorder email too. It was for Fire Emblem: "The item listed below is not yet available to be shipped. We expect to ship it to you by 10/23/2004."

What are the odds of it actually shipping later?

I got the same thing, I'm backordered to till the 10/23/04. I doubt we will ever get our Fire Emblems. Anyway, I'll complain if they cancell my order.

[craven_fiend]

looks like its time for me to email bestbuy and complain and try and get something out of this if it doesn't ship.

[nachzeher]

Well i Just got my BACKORDER EMAIL this is total BULL

Ironic...

[SneakyPenguin]

Wait, I just got the BO notice too (no suprise there), but I used $3 in McDonald's BB coupons. What happens to those coupons if my game ends up being cancelled? If they are void, I am going to do quite a bit of complaining.

[craven_fiend]

i haven't got my backorder email yet, and my order still shows it as being in process, so i don't know what is going on.

[shrike4242]

Makes me think more and more than in-store pickup is the way to go, not only to avoid shipping charges, but to not deal with this crap about "whoops, sorry, it's backordered, we'll ship it to you before you're dead and buried".

[Admiral Ackbar]

i haven't got my backorder email yet, and my order still shows it as being in process, so i don't know what is going on.

I'm in the same boat. Also, I ordered in the middle. After the deal was posted but about an hour before it was sold out.

I hope that means I missed the morning shipment but they have mine packed and redy to go for the next pickup.

[Draccius]

...well, I really hope that I can find a copy of Fire Emblem at the B&M location near me... I don't get out of my last class until 4PM. It says that some are available, but I can't get in store pick up as an option.

[Ledhed]

...well, I really hope that I can find a copy of Fire Emblem at the B&M location near me... I don't get out of my last class until 4PM. It says that some are available, but I can't get in store pick up as an option.

Be careful, it's probably not there. Any time I look up a rare game for store availability, it lists every Best Buy within 20 miles or so of me.

[moiety]

Thanks OP! I've been waiting for Fire Emblem to go down, and just my luck I was planning on doing some errands today, so I'll be checking out my local BB. I'm not getting my hopes up though, cuz I haven't seen it in stores for a long time. :(

[Draccius]

It would figure... I'm damned to pay full price for this game one way or another... but no harm in checking. Luckily, it's on the way home.

[schultzed]

Last week I got in on Wild Arms 3 and Hulk GC . . . WA3 arrived and Hulk got backordered . . . which should say "never to be seen" . . . I wanted Hulk more!

Hopefully Hatcher will go through!

[bradr]

I just picked up Billy Hatcher at my local store for $9.99 (last copy). The website said that and Kirby was available but Kirby was nowhere to be seen (not even a tag).

[jkam]

If anyone grabs and extra Kirby I have an extra wario ware on its way.

[shrike4242]

...well, I really hope that I can find a copy of Fire Emblem at the B&M location near me... I don't get out of my last class until 4PM. It says that some are available, but I can't get in store pick up as an option.

Don't count on it being there. Call the store, if you can, and have them physcially check for it, unless you plan to go there anyway.

Chances are very high that they don't have it.

[shrike4242]

Welcome to the BB inventory system on the website sucking huge wind.

[bob330i]

Yep, me too. Site shows stock, no stock to be found on FE or Kirby at the Milpitas CA store. I bet it's just a store locator to get you to go to the B&M. Maybe you'll buy something while you're there.

[GuilewasNK]

Man, I want Fire Emblem but I just don't have even $10 to spend right now after all the money I blew a week ago. Oh well. Still, great deals for other people to get though :). I shall live vicariously through your cheap ass purchases!!

[Rig]

I really want Kirby and Fire Emblem. I may go looking at the local BB today.

[craven_fiend]

I don't even know why I bothered trying to get Fire Emblem or Wario Ware from bestbuy.com. After all the horror stories I've heard, I figured maybe I'll get lucky and they won't be backordered. But I can't be so fucking lucky. Instead they are both backordered and now I have to debate whether I want to spend $5 for gas to go and see if the store actually has any of these in stock. If they don't hold to this, I will just ignore every fucking bestbuy.com post. Damnit I am fucking pissed about this shit.


Sorry about the rant.

Sorry about the rant.

The rant is well deserved, since their inventory system is so messed up.

If you find it in-store, I'll truly be surprised. And applauding, as well, for finding such a lucky find. The SKU for Wario Ware and Fire Emblem are both deleted, so you many not find it locally at all.

Sorry about the rant.

I feel your pain, BB has done this to me several times already. It fustrating but you still have hope that they will ship eventually. Ikaruga was back ordered for weeks and eventually they shipped to everyone who was back ordered.

Best Buy B&M are usually complete out of these titles. I haven't seen Wario Ware or Fire Emblem at my local BB for months now (I was going to buy them with the GGC but they never restocked them). I would call ahead so you won't waste gas. Also make them check in the back storage room if possible.

[jputahraptor]

Thanks OP, no luck online but went to B&M and found Hatcher and fire emblem. It's a good idea to see if the store has it on the availablitity page, if they do it will be bolded as opposed to grey, otherwise it looks like every store has it, and if anyone can get me Kirby for GBA I'll gladly pay you handsomely, PM me if you do!

[craven_fiend]

yeah, theres always hope. i just hope that if they don't ship, that people will voice their opinions and fix this problem. i mean i could understand if this happened once in a while, like a glitch or something, but it seems to happen a lot. maybe its time for bestbuy.com to look into a better inventory set up. they should make it let eb, not perfect but still better. that way you could check the availability. this would lead to less let down and little to no backordering. but then again we are dealing with bestbuy.com


i hope they have it instore so i can get points for it.

[Vtdgnca]

damn no Tenchu no where 50 miles of bestbuy near me! :shock:

[Rozz]

Tenchu here I come! :D Unless the Xbox version is alot better.... I can get the Xbox version for $14.99 after GGC (is it worth paying the $5 extra?)

[Magician]

I was just at Best Buy yesterday! I would have checked if I had known. Wow. Billy Hatcher seems like a very good deal. I'll make a trip there today.

Thanks wlau for the heads-up!

[DaleNixon]

Who else here is sick of bestbuy.com accepting your order then sending an email immediately telling you it's on backorder? Are they ever gonna ship my Wild Arms 3 and Kirby? :roll:

[shrike4242]

I'm always sick of BB crap. :D

[Kuma]

im getting sick of BB as a whole

[rgam2000]

I was able to get Billy hatcher, in-store, I wasn't able to find Fire emblem and Kirby.

[rgam2000]

Oh, and they still had 3 Billy Hatchers left for anybody in the Albuquerque area.

[aphasias]

i ordered a copy of billy hatcher, been curious about it for a while. thanks for the heads up!

[moiety]

Just to follow-up: Framingham, MA BB had nothing! Disappointing, but oh well!

[bignastyogre]

Niles, OH BB had a couple copies of Sonic Advance 2 for $9.99, so if you're running to Best Buy, you might want to look for that as well.

[shrike4242]

I ended up ordering Kirby online, just had my BO email show up, shipment date was listed as the 23rd.

I did Billy Hatcher for in-store delivery, and it should be waiting for me at the store set up for pickup.

Fire Emblem wasn't available in-store or on the website.

[Josef]

There were a bunch of other markdowns at BB today in addition to those already mentioned. I picked up:

Bomberman Jetters (GC) - $4.99
NBA Live 2004 (GC) - $4.99
MTX Mototrax (XB) - $9.99

[alongx]

I found 0 copies of Fire Emblem between both of my local BBs

[Dok Diamond]

so these prices are in-store, ill brb

[MadFlava]

Do you think I can get my local Circuit City or TRU to price match these Best Buy prices since they are also in store. I think to do the price match they usually call to see if it's in stock (which doesn't help me since BB has been sold out for months already)

Only problem with that I can see is that since the SKU is listed as deleted, it may come up as a clearance-type price, which means you might not get it to be matched, since most places won't do clearance pricing.

Damn Best Buy. Going to make me have to drive 30 minutes to see if I should cancel my online order or not.

[ZForce915]

My PacMan shipped and Kirby and Fire Emblem are still "in process". I've got a bad feeling.

I wanted this to be all or nothing. I'm kinda pissed that they would ship part of it before getting all of the order together.

[Querjek]

This is pissing me off... my Fire Emblem and Billy Hatcher are both "being processed", but I ordered them at 5:38 this morning (as my order details email tells me).

There were a bunch of other markdowns at BB today in addition to those already mentioned. I picked up:

Bomberman Jetters (GC) - $4.99
NBA Live 2004 (GC) - $4.99
MTX Mototrax (XB) - $9.99


wonder if this is one store or nationwide prices

It should be nationwide.

Yeah, Circuit City won't pricematch an item that is out of stock at Best Buy.

[CaseyRyback]

online it says one of my local stores has a copy. Going to go tomorrow after school

[Nephets]

I wanted Kirby and Fire Emblem... but bah, it's too late. :?

[Dok Diamond]

couldnt get out today, so right after school im there.

[FriskyTanuki]

No Kirby or FE, but I did pick up Rise of Nations for $10.

[Admiral Ackbar]

Woo HOO, my copies of Fire Emblem shipped!

[Morpheus]

Admiral, join the FE shipped team. Here's our teams quote:

"Its not a trap!" :P

lets face it... if he did not order multiple copies i doubt it would have landed on your lap. :roll:

Morpheus, do you post in segasoftware.net? If so i am Maverick from that forum. In anycase, i also live in New Jersey... infact i am near Paramus New Jersey :D

[CaseyRyback]

we all know Ackbar is the downfall of this site. He always orders a ton of copies of games he can make a profit off of. CAG is his second source of income :lol:

[MadFlava]

Woo HOO, my copies of Fire Emblem shipped!

Man, you took mine! :wink:

[Querjek]

That was really weird... I clicked "Quote" to direct you, MadFlava, to the previous posts discussing how many copies that Ackbar bought, but then when I saw the text that I had quoted, it had "magically" changed :lol:

[Admiral Ackbar]

Jeez, I bought two...

If you want the extra copy, you'll have to enter next years NFL Pool.

I'm gonna put together a prize package of $5 and $10 games of each system for next year. This year was kinda ad-hoc. But by the time the new nfl Season rolls around the FIre Emblem will probably be much more valuable and harder to find.

[ZForce915]

FE, Kirby and PacMan have all shipped now for me

[bluenatas09]

I was going into my Bestbuy for Fire Emblem but they were out of stock..HOWEVER...I did pick up MOH:Infiltration for 4.99 and Max Payne for 1.99....both for GBA

[Kain Vincent]

I'm going to BB tomorrow to pick up a copy of Fire Emblem and Katamari Damacy, let's just hope both games are in-stock.

[MadFlava]

Hey my back ordered Fire Emblem just shipped. WTF, I thought anything that gets back ordered from Best Buy never ever gets shipped. Unbelievable, I think I'll go out and buy Lotto tickets today....

[Unassuming Local Guy]

I was able to pick up Fire Emblem and Kirby from the Best Buy in Findlay Ohio and this morning I grabbed Billy Hatcher from the Toledo Monroe Street store.

[Sofa King Cheap]

Wow, my backordered Kirby and Fire Emblem shipped too. I'll be right back, I'm going to see if I can walk on water...;)

[slidecage]

Mine did too wow. Then again its only worth 4 bucks at gamestop so maybe theres a major price drop coming

[aphasias]

i completely forgot that i had ordered billy hatcher, and checked my best buy account and saw that it had shipped yesterday...

[MadFlava]

Only worth 4 bucks. I've heard so many good things about this game. You are probably right, they will probably start selling FE at $19.99 in time for the holidays. I hope Mario and Luigi get a price drop soon.

IIRC, Ebgames and Gamestop were selling copies of Mario and Luigi for $20 new after Christmas last year. It may not be out of the question. I wonder what they will have this year.

[schultzed]

My Billy Hatcher arrived on Friday!

Nice to get BB to work out.

[Wet Ninja]

My Fire Emblem shipped yesterday :)

This is the first time I've scored a deal at Best Buy. Every time I try to find a game in store, it's sold out. I missed out on the big $5 sale, Advance Wars 2, Wario Ware, and even the recent sale.

[swinte]

My copy of the Pac-Man Collection arrived. It definitely is worth the $5+shipping.

[KingNES]

Grabbed Fire Emblem at Best Buy In cutler ridge FL B&M Thanx for the heads up.

[soulwish2003]

THanks for posting... I picked up Kirby at the Vero, FL BB store. Also 3 copies of Billy Hatcher for gifts - it's such a cool game.
