Really hoping this is as good as it looks, I'll buy for PC if it is.

anyone else thinking zombieu will end up being the red steel of nintendos launch lineup?



I preordered last story so thanks to TC.

When you pre-order online can you choose to only put $5 down towards your purchase and pay the rest when you buy it, or how does it work?

I went in to Best Buy to pre-order some Vita games but found out it was online order only. Couldn't do it in-store.

There's no pre-order payment online. You give them your credit card (or gift card?) info and they'll charge you the full amount when it ships.

You could pre-order in-store, at least originally. It probably wasn't extended past June 7th for the E3 promo at stores.

Thanks, Mr.

Do you know if it's possible to cancel the preorder online before it ships in case a better deal comes up? (I'm thinking ebgames will possibly come out w/ included free DLC for some/most titles)

If I for whatever reason am unable to cancel the preorder online, does Best Buy have a return policy where I could return it in-store for a full cash refund within x amount of days?

Sorry for all the questions, I just am very unfamiliar with all of this stuff, and I don't want to be stuck with bills for games if they're reviewed very poorly and I decide I don't want them in the end, lol.

You're welcome. Yes, you can cancel your preorder as long as it's not shipped/processed. The return policy is the same as things you buy in-store. Within 30 days of being shipped, you can return it to any BB store in Canada. Since you're not paying with cash, it goes back directly to your card.

Now sure why, but Pokemon Conquest has $10 off now, and I was still able to get free shipping. Cancelled my other order and placed a new one. Pretty good deal...!

Crap, I just found out this game only has one save file. Maybe I should buy one more since my brother is gonna play it as well...

Do it! Two for the price of 1.33333333!

Awesome! thanks again for the help, Mr.!

I ended up pre-ordering all of the -$10/E3 deal PS Vita games available minus a Sonic Racing game(what the heck?) and the CoD game (was never really a fan).

Now, just need to get a 32GB memory card for my Vita and I'll finally have a reason to open it and play some games.. LOL :/

I totally gave in, I preordered another one. Might as well. Sometimes we share games, but I suck at strategy games so it's going to take me awhile to beat, and I know we both want to play it right away. :P

Yeah... now that Gravity Rush is finally (almost) out, I might actually play something on my Vita besides old Genesis games... :P

Thought I may as well throw out a quick q in this thread considering it's also about Best Buy.

Has anyone ever tried to PM CostCo at Best Buy? I'm reading some conflicting reports online. Would LOVE to be able to PM CostCo's price for the 32GB Vita at Best Buy, but I'm feeling like this is probably me getting a bit too optimistic.. hahah..

There's always a chance for PM, depending on what cashier you get. I had one lady match Newegg, she had never heard of the site before and it wasn't even the identical item, she matched it. So it's worth a try.

if its on costcos website its easier than trying to price match the actual store. But the website price vs the instore price is usually different.

You could try, the worst thing that can happen is that they refuse and you lose out on your gas money. You can try ordering from Costco.ca. Supposedly you can order without a membership.

And if you can wait it out, last time Best Buy had their online-only deal, they were selling the 32 GB for $85 as well. They had 15% off Vita accessories.

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but it's been a couple months so maybe my memory is foggy, but wasn't the BestBuy E3 pre-order deal $10 off the listed games AND 800 RZ points?

I pre-ordered 5 games, and 3 of them have already been paid and received (Darksiders II, Borderlands 2, and FIFA 13). I was charged $56.49 ($49.99+tax) but no where on my Best Buy Reward Zone does it show the pre-orders.

Just strikes me as odd as my order from yesterday is already there: Bonus - 400 Reward Zone points when you purchase The Avengers. In fact, I don't even see the double RZ points (or any RZ points) for the days they charged me for these pre-orders.

I understand they don't get "posted" until 36 days after, but they should show in pending activity, and in fact, Darksiders II is already past the 36 day rule. Anyone else having this issue? I feel like I'm going to be out $50 RZ certificates, plus I guess another 500 RZ points for the games themselves.

I thought online orders don't show up in pending. They're supposed to be added into your account after the 30+ days or whatever. Have you been keeping track of your RZ points?

Happened to me last year when I ordered 10 games in one single order.
I had to call their support and have the games manually added and the 800 points "goodwilled" to me.
It was like pulling teeth with most of the agents and some would transfer me to bestbuys support number (who can't do anything about it as they don't have access to the reward zone system).
Best advice I can give is have all the info ready when you call, stay poliet and calm but be persistent with them and don't let them ditch you over to bb's queue.

Ok, thanks a lot for the replies. I have been keeping track of the purchases, but I'm not sure if they add to the certificates, so maybe I have been getting some rewards but it just doesn't show as posted.

I don't know why movies always came up so nice with the name of the movie and reward points in the reward zone transaction log, wish they would do that with the games. I did place all 5 games as individual orders as one year I had issues with release dates as one would be in stock and the other still pending and wouldn't ship.
