I heard back regarding The Last of Us Survival Edition but unfortunately it wasn't a definitive response. Our Merchant handling this title hadn't heard if we'll be carrying the special edition yet but also said things haven't been finalized and that could change in the months before release.

I got a response back from a BB rep about "The Last of Us Survival Edition".

Strange happenings at Best Buy. Yesterday I posted that I received a backorder email from Best Buy a few hours after preordering Dead Space 3 online. Today I get an email that says:

"We apologize; due to an error, you had received an email indicating that your recent pre-order for X360-DEAD SPACE 3 (SKU 5743793) was on backorder. We're very sorry for this mistake.
Rest assured, your pre-order is still valid despite remaining in a backorder status. Your item will be ready to ship or pick up on the day that it is released or when product becomes available."


Must be having system errors but at least the game sounds like it will ship on time.

Wondering with the September date for GTA V and the non-date for South Park if I should just use the certs I was going to use on those on different games, hope these two are still part of the promo, and use the certs I get from other games to use with them. Or if I should just drop my certs on In-Store Pick-Up orders now and wait for for September and ? to get here.

Sept huh? Well I am going to cancel my pre-order now that I paid in full and apply it to more recent releases. 6+ months and I have no idea if I will even be living where I am right now.

Had the same thing happen with MGR order. Got the same email too. When I look at the order info it shows backordered. I hope there right about it still counting as a preorder and we don't have problems getting the $20 cert. I'd just cancel and reorder but I used a $20 cert on it.

No ing GTA V until September!!!

I'm upset that they pushed back the date. Guess I'll use the $60 that would of gone into that on Tomb Raider.

I think im going to pre-order GTA just to get the $20 locked in. I'll put the minimum one down

It's disappointing that they delay this game but it''s usually for good reason. If a game isn't ready for release, then i don't want to play it just yet anyways.

I didn't know your only option to get Dead Space 3 on release date was only expess shipping. I'm not paying $70+ for the game. Now I'm forced to do instore pick up.

I seriously cannot wait for Infinite.

I am glad they delayed GTA 5. This gives me more time to get through some of the games in my backlog already and get through games i will be getting soon like Dead Space 3 and then God of War. Plus I am sure to pick up Ass Creed 3 at some point as it has to hit $20 simetime this year.

Bioshock is my fav game of all time and bioshock 2 is the only multiplayer game I play, but I just am not into infinite. I will buy it and probably like it, but I don't like the art. Too cartoony and bright. It's like diablo 3 all over again.

One question for clarification. I am in GC and qualify for the $20 in points on preorders but if I pay for the game with gift cards do I still get the $20 in points or is it like other items bought with gift cards since you do not get reward zone points on purchases made with a gift card? Thanks for a reply.

You'll get the $20, but no additional points. If you PM they'll give you a GC for the value.

Woohoo, My copy of DS3 was shipped already!!!

Yeah mine shipped yesterday , if I remember right pre orders normally ship the day prior to release so pretty sweet .

based on the price drop with the new Hitman, Tomb Raider probably will be the same. $40 after 2 weeks anyway and now $30. So can we price match anyone cheaper than best buy?

Usually, yes, as long as you have proof of the lower price and it's a physical store (i.e., not online).

You still might be able to PM online prices, as I've done so with Amazon a few times (most recently for Far Cry 3 when it was $34.99 for a Deal of the Day), but it's more potentially YMMV.

So I just signed up for Gamer unlocked at bestbuy. To my confusion, someone please verify with me. Thanks

1. The first copy of the Gamer magazine will be mailed to you instead of picking it up right away in store? I asked for it and they refused to give me.
2. The subscription for the magazine is 1 year right? How come on my receipt it said "Gamer Digital-10 issue subscr"? Is that mean I would only get 10 issues (10 months left of the year??)
