You only get a $25 voucher, no 1600 point card. It is still a very good deal.

Just got a shipping notice for DC3. It's not in the UPS system yet so I don't know what time of day it was shipped, and the email actually says "Early Release For Processing" in it next to the game title.

Mine shipped at 7pm PST Next Day Air.

Finally got mine as well......I have to say I REALLY hate I took a chance on MS, especially after seeing how the past two weeks have gone with this promotion.
**Looking at my order history for this pre-order, I notice underneath the 1600pt coupon & the $10 off coupon, it says "Complete", which would lead me to believe that Microsoft is under the impression they've sent me the codes already....(when of course I don't have them, and there's nothing in my spam folder either).......am I incorrect in that assumption ? And does anyone else's information on the order summary look the same as mine / are you in the same boat with now playing the "waiting game" on codes now.
It really sucks also that there has been no consistency with shipping and receiving games for EVERYONE. Yes, it was nice for MS to expedite the shipping to "Next Day Air" for those to receive Resident Evil 6, Dishonored, Fable-The Journey, Sesame Street, etc. without any extra cost to the buyer....but if you're going to do it for some, you should do it for everyone....just my opinion.
Needless to say, I've learned my lesson, and will not shop with the MicrosoftStore again. We as consumers (especially those that have had issues with this promotion), shouldn't have to feel like we're pulling teeth to get what we've paid for. "Fool me once, shame on you. "......I won't be fooled again so that I have to complete the saying.

Mine says complete also but I wouldn't worry, it's probably just how they do their system

Turns out mine shipped Ground. I have no idea why they wait until the evening on the release date to ship, but I can look forward to receiving it next week.

I have received everything before the time indicated when I ordered. Also, my promotions have shown completed since the day I preordered each game, and each promotion has been emailed within 48 hours of receiving the game. I have had nothing but a positive experience shopping, and I would highly recommend microsoftstore.com to my friends. How they handled the cancellation fiasco last week was amazing, and far beyond what the really needed to do. Kudos to them.

I just looked at my shipping update. I selected the free option 4-7 days; it was shipped next day delivery at no additional charge. It will be delivered tomorrow, 3-6 days sooner than I was expecting.

Also got the DC3 shipping notification last night. I selected the free shipping, and yet it will be here today. Not bad.

Well, I'm glad you guys are having better luck than I am. It took all of the seven days to ship (and that was after a few days processing) and I still have yet to receive my pre-order bonus item (even though I got an email 5 days ago saying that it was complete and I could get it now by visiting their site). I'm hoping contacting them nets some results.

Well, I placed my order on 9/10/2012 for Dance Central 3 because I wanted the $10 gaming coupon and 1600 MS points. I had noticed I did not receive any shipping notice and my credit card had not been charged.

I logged into my live account at the Microsoft Store website and discovered my order was cancelled by the system. I send any email to them but I seriously doubt I'll order again from the Microsoft Store unless the promotion is beyond amazing.

It took forever to ship out my JD4. ( still don't have it). Decide after reading reviews, to return it, but used my points already, so they will not let me return it. Canceling my Halo and AC3 today.

Not sure why you thought you could do an incomplete return. Even if they accepted it as is, you'd likely be debited in the refund $20 for the points.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted is available again for pre-order.

Mines shipped out last night and will be delivered today. However, I did not received my 1600 pts and & $10 coupon yet.

You should try calling. It takes about a minute to get through to a person and you should be able to get some sort of resolution.

I ended up receiving DC3 today. The exact quote from Live Chat last night was "upon checking it was ground shipping. please expect the item to be delivered as early as Monday next week or by Wednesday next week." So they obviously have no idea what they're talking about as it turns out it was sent Next Day Air. At one point they also said to me "we do have a cut off time at 2:30pm so any order placed beyond that time will be processed the next day." even though it was pre-ordered.

Wasn't real surprised by that. Not upset by it.

People are so bitchy...

They get free games, $30 in bonuses for each game (including the free ones), some even release-day delivery even though it isn't mentioned anywhere during the order process, and still bitch and hate on Microsoft for it?

Check your spam folder, specially if you are a gmail user. Google's shitty spam filter will send actual important messages there 99% of the time when they contain any sort of promotional codes. Happens to me every time both with Microsoft Store and Amazon. Wait 48 hours for it to be there, although I haven't had one that took longer than a couple of hours after 9 am the day the game comes out.

I just checked and it still says out of stock. Where are you seeing this?

Well, that was quick. Yes, it's out of stock again. It was available for a short while.

BBY's 20$ unlocked deal is a better deal, as you'll also be able to pricematch at bby, and pick up the game night of. I had also thought the 1600 points + 25$ was the actual promotion, but last night I preordered it in the MS store using the wonderful Bing promotion and while in line I read the actual promotion details off the back of the preorder box, and it was only the 25$
