Pretty good deals for some games not part of BBY's promo, especially if you don't want to take your chances pricematching.

You have to navigate through the obnoxious game lists to find Just Dance 4 and Black Ops 2 since they don't come up through search. Anyways, I preordered Just Dance 4. That brings it up to 3 preorders with this promo with Dance Central 3 and Sesame Street from a while ago. This deal is going pretty well for games not on Best Buy's preorder program.

Pre-ordered Borderlands 2! Thanks OP!

If you have a Discover card then don't forget Shop Discover 10% cash back for MS Store

I preordered BL2 on 9/5 and it came out to $63.74 w/ tax

I just got my cash back pending email today:

Still not sure this is a great deal. Shipping takes 3-7 days. I wonder if that's business days. Still too long to wait for an extra ten dollar bonus compared to best buy or new egg deals in my opinion.

I picked up Sesame Street TV. Since it is basically paying for itself at $30, there is no reason not to!

I think Black Ops 2 and Borderlands 2 I'll buy at Best Buy, but other games I'll get through this deal.

Those 2 games, I'm going to be annoyed if I'm not playing them day one when everyone on my friends list is. Games like Assassins Creed 3, I can wait a week to play it.

I just tried to buy a bunch of games, but my shopping cart kept hanging. Not sure if it can't handle all the stuff in the cart or if too many CAGs are on there right now shopping.

What about the special edition versions are they offering them with the deals like the halo 4 or assassins creed?

No, Halo 4 is only for the regular to get the $25. Same with Assassin's Creed III.

Any idea how long the preorder bonuses will last? I ordered Borderlands 2 through the MS store, but haven't really looked into preordering through Best Buy. I'd be nice if I could use my Borderlands $10 off and roll that into another preorder.

I would love to see Hitman on this list. I am sure that game has a built in base but without some deal it gets pushed to 2013 without a sale for me. Too many good games with $20-30 back to pay $60 outright.

I get the day 1 dlc for free if i pre order moh right?

NO THANKS.

This is what happened to me. No joke.

Me: I would like to sign up for the Best Buy Reward Zone Program the Unlocked version for $15 a year with the @Gamer Magazine and Coupons.

Her: Ok I will get you on this register here. (Supervisor stands beside her.)
Can I have your information please?

Me: I give her the info. She gets everything wrong. Not once but twice.

Her: Ok I think I have it now please confirm by pressing accept on the screen.

Me: You spelled everything wrong and thats not even my address. She entered everything wrong and used a different address.

Her Supervisor: What's wrong with you? He has stood here and spelled everything out for you and you still get it wrong! Why?

Her: I partied to hard last night.

Her supervisor: You are 19.

Her. So what? I don't care. (Got a little bit cocky here. Starting playing with her hair and pulled her cell phone out to text.)

Her supervisor: Do you want wrote up on your first week on the job. This gentleman has stood here for a good 10 minutes. Finish the transaction or I am writing you up.

Her: Oh I think the computer stopped working. (She unplugged something. Supervisor looks at her and she plugs it back in.) Oh look it came back on. (She logs out.) She says I can't help you the computer logged me out.

Her supervisor: Log back in. This is your last warning.

Her: Logs back in and finishes the transaction. Forgets to give me my card. (This was the last straw for the supervisor.) He pulls her aside has a little chat with her (she is about to cry) and he hands me the card. (I think she either got warned, wrote up, or fired because after that they put a now hiring sign up.)

AND if you think thats bad becuase I wanted to switch from Digital to an actual Magazine (I like to read the magazines. (Is there a problem with that? Best Buy says YES!) I get my account suspended for 2 months. So I miss out on 2 months of coupons and magazines. I call them they fix my account and extend my subscription 2 months. I asked them if they would honor the coupons since they screwed up and this black woman on the phone told me this.

Woman: Well sir the coupons are expired we cant and we wont honor the coupons because they are expired.

Me: I never got my magazines so how could I use the coupons. Do I at least get anything to compensate for mty lose because I was going to use those coupons to get a few games.

Woman: Well we could load the coupon value on your RZ Card and you go buy the games but you would probably screw us and buy a laptop and get a free console. We cant and we wont do this for you even though we are at fault.

Me: Can I speak to your supervisor I have been on the phone for an hour I have been disconnected, hung up, called a liar and a thief.

Woman: No he left for the day. (I called 5 times in 1 day.)

Me: Is there a manager or something I can talk to? Somebody with more seniority.

Woman: No I'm the oldest one here. (She sounded 30.)

Me: Thats not what I meant. Is there a manager, a supervisor, a senior customer representtive I can speak with.

Woman: I told you no.

Me: Ok, Do you have any magazines I missed out on just so I can read them because I would like to read them.

Woman: No because you'll just go to your local Best Buy and try to get a managers overide.

(Best Buy is 50 miles away.)

Me: Best Buy is 50 miles away. Why would I go there if I cant use the coupons I just want to read the magazine.

Woman: Why would you want to read the magazine when its obvious you cant read anyway because you called wanting use to fix something expired. Its your fault you didnt use them im not sending them out.

Me; Its your companys fault I didnt get my magazines or my coupons. I just want to read the magazines.

Woman: No I dont care im not sending you anything its 5PM I am hanging up and going home. Have a nice day. CLICK!

The next day I call back and tell a man what happened. He said dont worry I'm her manager and I listened to your conversation you had with her and I can assure you she no longer works here.

I guess she forget that all calls are monitored and recorded for quality assurance. Lol. Sory for the long post.

AC3... does it come with any preorder bonuses from the microsoft store?

Any chance Borderlands 2 will be back in stock before it comes out? I don't understand how they sold out when it's a preorder.

Each retailer gets a certain amount of copies to sell and they have to keep X amount for online sales and Y amount for retail stores -- they can request more copies from the distributor but they have to wait for a confirmation that they'll get more stock in

Another thing is that most websites are designed to cut off sales after they sell an X amount of each item -- its mostly designed to prevent loss from price mistakes or coupon abuse

The BL2 preorder has been going in and out of stock for a few days now so just keep checking the website

COD Black Ops 2 does not have the deal.

Too bad BL2 was OOS, I would have done it. Currently Amazon has only given me a few bucks off since I preordered in 2005.

I did Medal of Honor, Nike+ Kinect, and Dance Central 3. Almost did Fable Journey! SORRY HATERS

It is true, I'm not totally sure where the $30 in coupons will go, perhaps if Fable Journey gets over '70' metacritic, I can buy that. And then hell froze over.

BlOp2 isn't stating it has any pre-order bonus.
