Holy sh!et...............FF Origins for 5 bucks. As well as FF for GC, I'm so there................REALLY GOOD FIND MANG!!!!!!!

05-24-2004, 06:35 AM
Wow, thank you!

I have been looking for FF Origins for along time, plus I ordered Sim City andthe Haunted Mansion as they seem rather uncommon games.

jimbodan
05-24-2004, 06:40 AM
Awesome find!! I grabbed FF Origins and SC2000. Been wanting both for awhile, I still think SC2K was the best Sim City game ever made. Looks like I can cross Origins off my want list. Don't forget FREE shipping too, makes the deal even better.

The Successful Dropout
05-24-2004, 06:48 AM
thats without a doubt, one of the best finds ever...i just bought ff origins at eb yesterday for $20 (it was the non gh version though, so it was still well worth it)....if all else fails, these are all good trade-in material

05-24-2004, 06:52 AM

thanks again wlau...and to think, i was telling myself at work that when i got home i wouldnt go on cag.com because id never get to bed

btw, they had a few that im sad i didnt get my hands on (sold out), such as metal arms for xbox, oh well, origins will just have to do

05-24-2004, 07:44 AM
Awesome, thanks! :) I grabbed Origins to replace my Blockbuster copy that's missing part of the packaging, and Enter the Matrix for the 'cube. Origins didn't appear to be backordered when I ordered it btw.

And trustcompany1013, afaik there is no GH version of Origins. You might wanna order another copy, & return the unopened one w/ your receipt to EB.

sm04as
05-24-2004, 07:45 AM
Yes Thanks! :o

Dark Cloud is cheaper here than from the TRU BOGO deal.

If you get it Origins backordered, what are the chances it will still come?

Does anyone know if the BB stores will price match these games since some of them are now sold out or backordered (e.g. Will they sell you the game at their on-line price if they have it in stock?).

WhoDey
05-24-2004, 08:09 AM
Both games I wanted were on back order. Actually, I've never really wanted them but for $5, what the heck? I ordered Freedom Fighters (GC) and The Haunted Mansion (GC).

How is Best Buy with backorders? Do you usually eventually get them or do your orders usually get cancelled?

judyjudyjudy
05-24-2004, 08:11 AM
I don't think Best Buy price matches with their website. (The one in Cambridge, MA made that very clear.) But you should be able to select in-store pickup as an option for shipping if your store has them in stock.

Edited to add: I got Ikaruga from them pretty quickly, despite it being backordered on the website when I ordered it.

The Successful Dropout
05-24-2004, 08:11 AM
you might get a dumb employee....but the bbs around me are very strict on not even acknowledging their own website in any shape or form....they've told me that they have nothing to do with bestbuy.com at all (even the manager told me this)...so i doubt it, unless my stores are just that much more feces-faces than i had originally thought

I had been in there awhile and would have probably had time to get the games ordered if I hadn't had to update my credit card info. I just keep hitting checkout hoping it'll work sometime but I have a feeling it'll never work until the prices are taken down.

Watch out, guys. BestBuy.com is notorious for holding your orders for a couple months without ever sending anything, then just cancelling your orders anyway. So don't get your hopes up. Just a warning.

If it's like the past... they will be on backorder for a few weeks and then the order will be cancelled.

Ok, so if this is an error and they're fixing it, does BB have a history of honoring already-done transactions? Will they change the charge to your card without telling you?

sm04as
05-24-2004, 08:58 AM
Last time they had the $5 PH Xbox games. Some were honored. Some people went through store pickup. To those that they cancelled they gave a $10 coupon for the next purchase...

Last time they had the $5 PH Xbox games. Some were honored. Some people went through store pickup.

And some (like me) had their cards charged the full price AFTER they had left the store with the games, those sneaky fuckers. It all ended well, but not without a fight. Be careful when BB is involved...

I've had orders from BestBuy canceled before too, so this might be too good to be true.

It was actually a 10% off your next purchase coupon, not a $10 coupon. Though it was good on consoles too, so if you were looking to get one it was a pretty good deal.

sm04as
05-24-2004, 09:08 AM
^^Oops, yes that is correct. I ordered a DVD player so it basically was equivalent to $10. But who knows what they plan to do this time, especially since they don't have to do anything and they caught their "mistake" much earlier this time around.

Ebay works fine for me, Best Buy is a little slow.

Finally got through at www.bestbuy.com. I'm on a T3 line and it still took forever to load and add to cart. I ordered Freedom Fighters, Enter the Matrix, and Amped. All 3 were listed as backordered so we'll see what happens.

05-24-2004, 09:35 AM
This last time they had this deal with the PH XBox titles, they cancelled my order. I didn't bother to try this time because of that. Good luck to those who ordered. Hope you get the deals. I just purchased the last GC copy of Haunted Mansion for my kids yesterday for $14.99 after the GGC. I printed out the BB web ad for $5. Gonna try to price match, but don't have high hopes.

I used the number too and didn't have a problem. Heck, the guy I talked to said he had bought FF today too. Anyway, my order is now good but because both games are on backorder (Freedom Fighters, Haunted Mansion) I'm not really holding my breath about getting them. But for $5 a piece, I'll take the chance.

05-24-2004, 10:03 AM
In store pick up = bad. I've ordered things for in-store pickup and then they had to cancel my order because their inventory wasn't right at the store. Then, if I want my order reinstated, I have to call the foreign sounding people at Best Buy and deal with that hassle. Then, a few days later, Best Buy will decide that some items were a price error and say they have the right to cancel all orders.

Bottom line, don't waste your time with in store pick up if you can get it shipped for free.

for those comparing that to the $5 PH titles for xbox, this isnt the same. That little snafu (brought to you by me) involved putting a certain product into your cart, and then by some odd error any other PH ends up being $5.

these are just marked at $5. Might be a price error, but so far its not a "glitch"

I think most, if not all of the games are backordered.

In my experience, that means you'll about a 5-10% chance of getting them if you ordered earlier this morning. You might as well forget it now.

Then again, maybe BestBuy saw that they were rated 2003 worst online dealer by CAG, and they vowed to get their act together. Maybe.

If I recall correctly, I tried to do that, but couldn't figure out how. So I think you're stuck. But you're probably more likely to get it through the mail than pick-up.

Try to buy the game again on-line, but don't submit your order. There's some option where you can select the store availability before you check out. If it's not there at your store, there will be a line through the store location. That'll at least save you a wasted trip.

How can you tell if these are backordered? I ordered a couple hours ago and it didn't say anything about the 6 games I ordered....anyway I can check to see if it says mine are now?

I went to "Track this order" and it didn't say anything either...

Recently I ordered a music CD that was "backordered" and I only got it about a week late.... take that for what it's worth. I hope this won't be much different.

This does seem like a glitch, but maybe it's just an unusually good series of price reductions! I could see it being a glitch if these were all brand new games, but these titles should have all been in the Best Buy computer system for quite some time now... it doesn't seem likely that they would all just freak out all of a sudden. Oh well, I guess we should all keep each other posted on orders going through, shipments arriving, cancellations, etc. We're in this together!

I don't think it wasd a pricing error... retailers need to drop excess inventory at times. Some of these were flops or just older titles.

Back in the mid 80's retailers were dumping huge crates of 2600 and Colecovision games at something like 2 for 14.99... now they just use the internet.

Yes, go to "Track this order". Under each game, there will be a blue line saying something like

Status: 1 item(s) - Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in 1 - 2 days.

or

Status: 1 item(s) backordered.

If you ordered early, your order might be "in process".

Can I change my delivery or pickup method?

Yes. You can switch from home delivery to store pickup, or vice versa, as long as your order has not entered the shipping process. To request a change, call Customer Care at 1-888-BEST BUY (237-8289). Note: Customer Care will inform you of changes to tax and shipping rates.

Isn't there a GBA version of FF Origins coming out? In that case it's quite plausible that Square would want the PS1 version cleared out. DMC 2 is one I can't really figure out... GH titles don't usually go below $14.99, since they are "Greatest Hits" and somewhat expected to sell.

I'm just trying to figure the rationale on all these drops... oh well, if these orders go through than that's all I'm concerned about. Thanks a million on the great find!

Hmm, maybe I won't worder them now that people are saying backordered items are never coming. If I order something thats backordered but they don't get it in, is my credit card charged? I'm thinking of going to Best Buy today and seeing if these prices are for in-store too. I'm not price checking all the games though, maybe 1 or 2 only.

MadFlava
05-24-2004, 11:28 AM
Best Buy is probably selling off their excess inventory to make room for the new titles. I don't think this is a glitch like the $5 Platinum Hits titles. During that glitch, you had to have Splinter Cell in your cart to trigger the rest of the PH titles to be the same price. These titles seem spread out over a number of different systems and types of games. Not to mention a lot of these are older titles and GH titles that don't sell well (like DMC2, reviews scared everyone off this game). I notice that some titles are no longer back ordered but are now sold out so I'm wondering if there still a good chance these back ordered titles will ship out.

Grave_Addiction
05-24-2004, 11:29 AM
I just called Customer Service to try to change my order to in-store pickup and the nice lady informed me that my local Best Buy didn't have any in stock.

She was ready to get off the phone with me until I asked her to check another location that I go to frequently.

To my luck, the Arlington Best Buy had FF Origins in stock, but didn't have DMC2. So she changed my order for FFO to in-store pick up! It should be ready pretty soon!

jkam
05-24-2004, 11:34 AM
I ordered one of a lot of these titles. Worse comes to worse they don't come. No loss. I thought Wolverine's Revenge would be the only one in process because it was the only one in stock...but silent hill 2 and Enter The Matrix came up as in process as well. Definitely worth a shot. As for the low prices...after getting fatal frame II for $10 and Nascar Thunder 2003 for $2 I don't doubt low prices as much.

No one really knows, Some people ordered Ikaruga on back order from BB.com and they got them. Considering that these games are now "sold out" I have a good feeling that they will shipped the backordered games out. They probably have these games in inventory but are probably in a warehouse somewhere. The games that are shipped are the ones that have ready to go from there shipping station.

Does anyone know if the BB stores will price match these games since some of them are now sold out or backordered (e.g. Will they sell you the game at their on-line price if they have it in stock?).

no, they won't, i've tried it before


Ok, so if this is an error and they're fixing it, does BB have a history of honoring already-done transactions? Will they change the charge to your card without telling you?

they have a history of just canceling your order if there is a pricing mistake on their part and they catch it.

Even if it doesn't come back in stock, if they can't pull it up in the system, you should be able to bring the copy you bought in for them to scan to pull up the current price, and price adjust.

Is NCAA Football 2004 and Nascar Thunder 2004 for Playstation 2 5 bucks?

NASCAR Thunder 2004 (XBox) rang up as $9.99 at my BB, though it sounds like it's $4.99 at other stores...?

Just received a shipping confirmation on Enter the Matrix for Gamecube that was originally backorderd when I placed the order, so it looks like they are actually shipping these games. I'll keep my fingers crossed on FF, Amped, & Haunted Mansion.

Well, I got charged for all the backordered items I ordered. Hopefully that is a good sign. 8)

2 days old and I notice this now. Sigh.

Origins is Sold Out. Nuts!

I propose a name change or a redirect put in to place for this site, greedyassgamers.com.

Oh well, better luck next time.

I got a confirmation for FF Origins, The Haunted Mansion, and Simcity, but I ordered my games before almost all of you.

My Beyond Good & Evil, which I ordered 10 minutes too late, is backordered unfortunately.

Indiana Jones and FF Origins on backorder.

Kind of weird that you got confirmation on FF Origins and I didn't. I'm pretty sure I ordered it before you did. Oh well.

Being the originator of the thread I would hope so. BTW, thanks for breaking the deal open for all of us. It's been the deal of the week and has sent countless numbers of CAG's across the country to all the Best Buys. I also appreciate everyone reporting whats available at the Best Buys they have visited.

Just realized both Enter the Matrix (GCN) and Freedom Fighters (GCN) shipped, from the tracking info it looks like they should be here tomorrow. Haunted Mansion (GCN) is still backordered though.

Looking to trade Freedom Fighters for either Dead to Rights (GCN) sealed or Wario World (GCN) sealed if anyone got in on those.

SpongeBob SquarePants, The Hobbit, and Nightcaster II: Equinox shipped 5/25. Mary-Kate and Ashley: Sweet 16 shipped 5/28.

So, as of the 28th - they are still filling orders. This is a good sign.

Some guy(Videogameking24)on GameFAQS Claims he got NBA Ballers, Dynasty Warriors 4XL, Bloody Roar 4, Gladius, Gun Metal(Xbox) and Medal of Honor:RS(Xbox) for 5 bucks each.....

Are you sure it was Norrath? Everquest Online Adventures has been $4.99 for a while, but I don't think Champions of Norrath was lowered.

there is no way it was champions of norrah, it must have been everquest online adventure, which isnt worth 5 cents let alone 5 dolla

I would guess No. These are games are being clearanced out so BB can free up shelf space for the new games coming out this Summer and Fall.

When I ordered my games while they were backordered the expected ship date was 6/2.

Today I get this:

06-02-2004, 05:08 PM
I got the same email...still backordered, 21 days.

I had never even considered getting either of the games I ordered I just couldn't pass them up for $5 though.

I went to check my account for these backordered games. While my orders still show "InProcess", when I go to click on each order number there are no games listed inside those orders. Hopefully it's just Bestbuy.com having problems with displaying orders correctly instead of this being completely "dead".

Update: My games show up within my orders now. Turns out it was a display problem. Still, nothing has shipped.

MadFlava
06-02-2004, 10:59 PM
Yup, I got the backorder email on FF origins. Did anyone get FF origins by ordering online...

Check your "Account" pages fellas. Even though I ordered somewhat early on while everything was backordered, I got the BB stamp of assproval. CANCELLED. This was for FFOrigins and DMC2.

Not that I particularly care, but once again, I get emails, twice, saying it's backordered and they hope to ship the games to me within 6-21 days - but do I get ANY notification that my order was cancelled FOR me? Hellzno. Meanwhile I could of passed up a deal on either assuming BB would make due on their sale. Good thing I know better...

So check your accounts and see if the same fate befell you too.

mine were just cancelled as well and bestbuy.com just received an extremely pissed off email

it would've fine if they followed their policy by emailing me within 5 days of the cancellation and asking if i wanted the items to remain on backorder or not...but no luck there

I just checked mine. About a week ago I got the backorder email, today I checked and my order was cancelled. No biggie, I just tried to order Madden 2004 for the GBA.

Looks like BestBuy.com is up to their old tricks again, unfortunately. It's another instance of their bad retail practice.

Mine were cancelled, too. Best Buy still has a hold on my card, though, even though cancelled last week. I did manage to do in-store pickup on one thing (Haunted Mansion for GC), but apparently they did not have FF Origins in stock at the store even though the BB inventory showed that it was when I originally did in-store pickup. I think one of the BB employees may have wanted it for himself. So my in-store pickup was 1 of 2 and in Best Buy's eyes they marked that order "Completed". :?

Last week I checked my order again and it finally said "cancelled." That sucks that they don't even notify you in any way, you have to actually check your account online to find this out. So much for DMC 2 and Freedom Fighters for $5.

However, I got those as my free games in GameStop's Buy 2 Get 1 sale the next day (i bought six games) so it's all good. :wink:
