Yikes, seems to be backorder central up in here already. That's too bad. Good thing I already bought everything I wanted yesterday, I guess!

Surprised they have more BLOPs controllers after the $10 deal of the day.

If it wont be at the pickup line, I'll go up to the front so the same employees wont seem me. Will they kick me out? lol thanks

So you bought games to get the $10 code, but you're going to just return the games? So you're openly just going to steal from them? Uhhh...that might raise a few flags.

I'm glad I pre bought my games. Everyone knew and joked this was going to happen with the backorders and trouble finding games once the deal went live. Nobody should be surprised.

Just so people know, I have an extra Dead Rising OTR for PS3. Not sure I want to go through the trouble of shipping it since it'll cost around ~15, but I'll meet up with anyone in the Kansas City/Manhattan area if they are looking for it.

I think a lot of people didn't realize these could be used on the PC. Once that started getting around these controllers got a LOT more desirable.

I think the BB.com coders just couldn't envision that somebody would want two copies of Phelps. They obviously didn't think about the raffle prize scenario:

1st Prize: a copy of Michael Phelps: Push the Limit.
2nd Prize: TWO copies of Michael Phelps: Push the Limit...

Hopefully my DS2 comes with Extraction(PS3). Only reason I bought it.

Didn't know Crysis 2 is 3D compatible! UGH! Been adding to my 3D games. I'll check in store.
No, I'm not getting Tekken. I know it's in 3D(compatible).


Oh well. Early day! Happy gaming all! Thanks OP!!!!!!!

Have you been able to order Rayman Origins ps3 shipped to home or shipped to store? I've been trying off and on all night to no avail.

ChunLiBarbie claimed to have bought Inivizimals, but I'm not sure if it was the same Invizimals. I'm confused because it seems like Shadow Zone is only a stand-alone game, and I think CLB referenced a bundle, which as far as I can tell was only the original Invizimals.

All I see on the site for Invizimals are some pre-owned items. Usually if an item was part of the sale it would still show up at this point - maybe "unavailable for shipping" or "sold out online", but it would still be listed.

What time is it where you are? Bestbuy isn't open till 11AM today (Sunday) but its only 5AM EST here which means its even earlier elsewhere?

I know you got it before it closed but BestBuy closes before 12AM when the deal is suppose to start. Did they just allow you to buy it at the sales price before it started?

i don't know. they are white, official Sony buds called "Headphones with Remote Control". i only bought it because it was a filler item. i don't actually have a psp. The sku is 7045832. The model # is PSP-140(W)

best buy closes at 10pm where i am but i was able to place my orders for in store pickup and pick up the orders as soon as the website went live because of the huge time difference.

shadow zone did come with camera i got one i think last year from target for 9.98 never opened it

and can only did store pick u for Rayman Origins ps3

Wow lame

Should have named this Summer gaming buzzkill

Thanks. Now that I look at Shadow Zone more closely, I see that it is a bundle.

However, still confused because I don't see Invizimals listed as part of this sale (it's in the OP "Invizimals 2 Shadow Zone" but not on the BB.com sale page for PSP). The only Invizimals returned in BB.com search are pre-owned SKUs.

Maybe it's part of this sale in BB's systems but had already been removed from BB.com so it's effectively in-store only (like Dead Rising OTR for 360). In that case, it's a theoretical sale because in the last 6-8 months I don't recall seeing a SKU like this in any of my local Best Buy stores.

I mentioned it right after the sale began...but got lost in the flood of posts.

I found it really weird that a lot of stuff went OOS so fast. Not that it's out of the ordinary...but weird in the sense they probably didn't have much stock. And if that's the case, I mentioned it might cause quite a few people to get backordered/cancellation emails. I don't think BB's online systems can handle the mass traffic during these sales...not to mention their systems accurately handling inventory count.

Sucks to hear it's already starting. :/

Great price on this. I reported it to Amazon. Hopefully they will match it...I would definitely like to save $8 on that one.

Anyone who "pre"-ordered in-store pickup for this sale please report back. I'm on the west coast and hopeful that today's Tekken Hybrids order will just auto-adjust down to $9.99 when I go to get it. (I've had about 75% success in the past with products auto-adjusting) That said I will probably try to be there at opening to grab it anyway, just so that I can get one off the shelf if there's any issue with the pickup.

I feel like I should be wanting to buy more from this sale....

Did he get it in store or online? I picked mine up in store a few days ago. Last copy. No, shadow zone comes with the camera. I have the SKU here from my reciept: 3558349.. or 98760, not sure which was the sku. Neither comes up when you search on the site though.

As somoene pointed out, Its also most definitely like the first game, and comes with the camera. The case was the same size as the first. I just cant get it to come up on the site at all, so im not sure if its really 9.99 like the OP says. Evidently theres a controller thats not on sale as listed either.

After last year's holiday debacle you think they would have fixed their inventory system. Then again...after a $1 billion loss...Best Buy corporate probably has bigger problems to solve. I predict that the sales this winter will be ASTONISHING....but then Best Buy will go out of business before next summer. The "Going out of Business" sales at Circuit City were awesome a few years ago. Looks like Best Buy is on deck unless they have some sage-like planing this Fall....
