As a precaution for our employees and customers, SOME Best Buy stores are temporarily closed

I tried it when I got the $100 from last year's deal and it worked. I had to pay $5 to activate it or something.

Also, it's a different kind of transaction so the whole return/exchange thing will be a thing of the past. This only applies to titles releasing in 2013 going forward, so all the current titles will still be under the old system.

Can you do B2G1 on pre-orders? And does BBY PM B2G1?
And what are the chances of trying to get AC3 for $40? If anyone posts successfully I will head out tomorrow. I didn't pre-order, but can live without the bonuses.

I started printing out certificates in anticipation of ACIII tomorrow and my GF didn't have the points pending from BL2 on her account. I was like ahhhh wtf!? Then i realized that the rep never asked us to sign my GF up for unlocked status when we preordered BL2 and we forgot to ask. So we lost out on $20 cert for her buying BL2. Crap!

My GF is still planning on getting Halo 4 and FC3 for co-op though... suppose its still worth it.

Heh pretty much my reaction. I was going to wait for AC3 to eventually drop to $10, the same price I picked up Revelations for but nope. That ending pissed me off and now I need to know what happens.

I dont think you want to know....

Its worse than ME3

I was able to pre-order assassins creed online. I am excited to pick this up. I loved the first one.

I noticed AC3 is $49.99 at Kmart this week and for one day on Tuesday at TRU. Would I be able to pricematch one of those deals and also get the $20 RZ credit at Best Buy?

Yes.

I spoiled it for myself since I wasn't able to hit a BB today, yeah I'm definitely waiting till it hits under $15 too.

I thought ME3's ending was ok, but loved the entire game up to that point and honestly I didn't care too much since I had so much fun with the rest of the game. If AC3 is the same way, I won't have any regrets. Besides, I intend to play and finish it quickly and trade it in while the value is still high to get most of my money back.

When you go up, make sure you bring it up before they start the transaction. I believe I said "Hi, I'm here to pickup Resident Evil 6. I have a preorder for it, and Fry's has it for $50 this week." When I handed them my preorder receipt, I also handed them a printout of the Fry's website for the game to make it easier too. Got those points 2 weeks after purchase too.

I pre-ordered AC3 back in march before the current pre-order offer will I still get my $20 reward certs?

Sounds good. I just hope they do it correctly.

woot! got my preorder for ACIII picked up, got my preorder code already, and price matched Kmart ( after some confusion over the coupon)!

Did you manage to get them to give you a gift card too?

Just got back from the midnight release in South Tampa. Was about 10 people including myself. I was able to price match Kmart (make sure to bring it up while they are getting your game) without any issue. My receipt shows exchange so hopefully nothing goes wrong with the rz cert (they assured me that nothing would). Also got one of those limited coins. From what I saw they only brought out two packs which I think contained 10 coins per package.



Also they did print out the DLC code on my receipt. Welp off to play.

no they said they could do the price but no GC. they thought about it though. at least my store Internet price matches!

For those who pricematched Kmart, did you get a $10 gift card in addition to the $49.99 price?
