Hopefully not a lot of people are doing doing this. It's pretty scummy.

i thought so too, the steelbook was the main reason i was going to preorder ac3

In-store.
Sweet, I haven't PMed a purchase that I used a Reward Cert on so I thought I was screwed by how my receipt looked like.

In-store pre-orders got the steelbook immediately from the stock the store received when the game became available for pre-order. Online orders get the steelbook shipped with them. If your store doesn't have any steelbooks left (which I doubt many, if any, do), then you're probably out of luck since it sounds like online orders have run out of the steelbook as well.

Naw, you'll be fine. The worst thing that could happen is that it needs a manager override. I've only had that happen once though, so it's rare.

Cool beans, now I can use the cert I get from Borderlands 2 on the next applicable pre-order =D

Already got $80 credit. Thinking about AC3 and Halo. The RE demo put me a bit off.

PES:2013 ($10 GC) and XCOM: Enemy Unknown ($15 GC) are getting gift card promos. Check OP for links to promotion.

PES is only $10 GC and not $20, would have preordered if it was $20 GCU. Thanks htz.

Is Halo 4 limited edition truely going to be limited? It sold out on amazon, gamestop, and newegg. Several Best Buy stores around me are sold out as well. Thinking about using some of my credit and gift cards to order this online. I was thinking about holding off on this until the edition dropped to like $50 like all the other halo limited editions did but i guess not anymore. Do you guys think this is just the same trick the retailers did when they showed they sold out of reach legendary editions? Are these actually limited?

Buy now and return later if not limited? During the holidays especially Best Buy, you have until near end of January to return stuff anyways, just make sure to not open it.

haha im actually gonna wanna play it though. I personally don't think the limited edition is worth it since you are basically just getting a steelbook case. I was gonna wait for the drop in price like most halo collectors editions have to get the map packs code but if it is limited i rather buy it now than wait for it to become $200 or so.

Tru is giving out 15 dollars gc with FIFA13 but we cant pm that correct? Also would you guys recommend pre ordering AC3 if i wont have the time to play it soon? Is the bonus DLC worth it?

Mmm, doesn't the free gift cards hinder any possible future price match?
I would have picked up XCOM if that wasn't the case

I wanted in on the Avengers steelbook, but it all the stores I checked in NYC were sold out.

Boo...

You might as well try after the game comes out, unless there's a Pre release PM mechanism that I don't know about.

Did anyone try pming the borderlands 2 gc deal tru had the other day? Any success? I'll probably try but with the 20 rz cet deal they'll probably say no.

how does the preorder credits work? Like how does bestbuy know that you picked up the game? When purchasing does customer service have to select a special sku? because the person i bought my borderlands 2 from had no idea what she was doing. Also the $5 deposit was made as "returned" on my receipt as credit towards the game.. is that right?

Also I have 2 gamers club unlocked accounts.. I preordered with 1 account and paid accidently with the other account.. which account will get the credit? or none?

I was successful in doing so but the reason it worked was probably because toys r us was across the street. Best Buy gave me Borderlands 2 with all the bonuses and a $20 best buy gift card. Also 1000 ptz are pending in my rz account. So basically $20 for a brand new game

It is supposed to say "Exchange" on top of the receipt instead of "Return." You are probably gonna have to call best buy in 30 days have the points dont show. And the two gamers club accounts will also be a problem.
