Cheap Ass Gamer - View Single Post - Pre order Black ops 2 receive @Gamer special COD editon free

Wow, thank you people of CAG, this is perfect timing. I was just thinking of canceling my Gamestop pre-order (whose fourth wave just came out, you got a double-sided poster, a prestige token, the standard pre-order Nuketown map, the double XP first weekend, and a sweepstakes entry or an avatar item & another sweepstakes entry or a playercard theme) in favour of the $20 GC & Nuketown map. So now that I also get a $10 mag (with a $15 coupon for a year of Xbox Live), this is a no-brainer.
I mean, Gamestop tried (the stuff is more or less worth the $5 deposit) but it just doesn't even cut it close to competing with $20 towards a future purchase & the Nuketown map (still wish they offered those dog tags..).

Thank god I renewed my @Gamer so I could get the $20 credit with Dishonored (which is awesome, by the way).

I'm sure Best Buy planned this all along and was just waiting for the last Gamestop pre-order bonus to drop to appeal to the people who were disappointed (like myself).

Question, I haven't canceled a pre-order since ACIII like 2 months ago, and I got cash. You're saying that they only give you credit back now?

Also, fyi, all those sweepstakes are ones where no purchase is necessary to enter. Read the fine print, there should theoretically be other ways to enter.

I can confirm that unless you're REALLY lucky and they don't care/look the other way or are working with an incompetent employee, they will not give you the CoD issue with renewal. I had 2 separate chances to nab the CoD mag instead of the October edition (which I kept forgetting to take home from the store but ended up getting in the mail a week after GCU renewal), and I let it slip through my fingers. So this is good news.

I wanted to say something funny that happened while I was getting the mag they were supposed to give me in store (I left it behind in the store 2 separate times when they were supposed to give it to me) after I renewed after my membership expired in late Sep., along with Dishonored yesterday, but I realized it may give an increase to shoplifting...
