Currently on backorder, but it sounds like backorders are eventually going through from BB.
This is my pick for best hockey game this year.

Thanks! Now I can compare this game to last year's game (which is suppose to be more arcadey).

Other games that are showing up as $9.99 on the website:

Rogue Ops (GC) (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1065169560796&skuId=6112066&type=pr oduct)
Haunted Mansion (PS2) (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1062718726687&skuId=6014939&type=pr oduct)

These had already been mentioned as in-store prices, but it is good that they are available online as well (some of the games that have been lowered in-store are still higher online, or not available for purchase).

After Best Buy cancelling 4 of my orders last year on cheap ass deals - I wisely selected in-store pickup this time.

After never once having a good experience on BestBuy.com I can safely say I won't even go to the site and look. Screw Best Buy.com!

Ya, I saw this in another thread and ordered it online because there isn't a store close to me that has it in stock. I can't wait for it to come so we can play online again CheapyD. :)

This deal is available in the store as well. Hitz Pro Gamecube is also 9.99.

Nice price, thanks Cheapy. I've been wanting to pick this up for a while now.

I might just pick this up at the store, it'd be much easier that way (but a long drive) than dealing with the website.

No hitz is actually a good game. Nhl Hitz pro is different than 2003 and 2002, less of an arcade game but you can go to options and make the 2003 type / 2002 type but you still have the 5 players

I hope that this is a B&M deal also. I've found out that some of my local BB don't always follow other BB B&Ms

Well, I just got a cancellation email for Haunted Mansion (PS2). I am clearly not meant to have this game. I had pre-ordered the GC version (19.82 at Walmart) back at the beginning of October. After a month past the release date, they cancelled. Now BB cancels on me, too (and yes, I had already checked the local 3 local BBs). I wasn't all that keen on the game anyway, but it would have been cool for $10.

They cancelled your order from Walmart? It took them forever to ship my copy but I got it from them 3 weeks after the release date. I thought they honored everyone's orders. :?

I checked the status of my order today and it hasn't been cacelled...yet. I'm anxious to play this game already, the demo I have is not enough :)

It's still on backorder for me, so I hope the former is true. I have 1 or 2 local BBs, but the website told me that it was not available at those locations, so I was forced to order online...

Did they say sorry and give you like 10 percent off your next purchase? Last time something like this happened I emailed them back and complained and said I would take my business elsewhere because this is the third time it happened and she forwared the email to like someone higher up and he sent an email apologizing and gave me 10 percent off my next order. I heard they also gave it to a bunch of other people also

ok, i am i die-hard hockey fan.I got the first NHL Hitz when it came out, with Scott Stevens on the cover. I hated it. There were features where you could design your own team, jersey arena, etc, but it was to unreal. If you ran inot a guy he shot across the ice inot the far boards. I don't have NHL Hitz Pro. It's a shame, I was gonna grab it if it were still up. It is more real. Instead of a 3 on 3 game, it is now 5 on 5, etc.

As far as Cheapy saying it is the best NHL game this year, I have to differ. NHL 2004 is a great hockey game. Perfect. Create your own team, totally customize it, be a GM in a 20-season franchise, work with the profit money, design your own GM office, set ticket prices, negotiate salaries, etc. I love it. Every so often you get upgrade points to put inot 10 different categories, such as medical (helps players heal from injury slightly faster), coaching, legal (helps sign players for a fraction less), Team Travel for a better plane, bus etc that helps youre players on the road.

Just stating my opinion. I think NHL 2004 kicks NHL Hitz Pro's ass any day.

Heh heh...you haven't even played it!

NHL Hitz has the best scoring and goalies in any hockey game ever made and I have played almost all of them (including NHL 2004).

Took a printout of the Best Buy site to Circuit City over the weekend. Not only did they price match for NHL Hitz Pro, they have me 110% of the difference. Walked out with the game for $8.XX. :)
