just curious to see if anyone got their rewards points for preordering Guitar Hero Live yet ??? Should they have been issued yet or am I jumping the gun?
Yes, and I pre-ordered the night before.

EDIT - I got 1016 points, jackpot!

Curious as to what you netted from the sale after fees and everything? Aren't you worried about charge backs?
I'm actually not sure. Haven't crunched numbers but I saw they were selling over $200 so I decided to put it up. I'm OK with any profit as I'll still get rewards points etc. I've had no issues selling in the past as long as you follow some smart guidelines.

Yes. My Halo 5 points are still pending, but I preordered that fairly late. You definitely should have gotten the GH Live points by now, you might want to contact them.

 
What's wrong with using metacritic?
Everything. Letting dorky critics influence what you do and do not purchase is not cool. I stopped caring about reviews a long time ago. Everyone slammed Ryse and Deadpool....I loved then to death. It was right around that time I tuned most reviews out. Nowadays, if I want to play something, goddammit I'm gonna play it and make up my own mind.
 
So anyone else get one of those "secret" Reward Zone certificates in their email? Wondering if there was a pattern with the numbers under the Barcode to know whether it's worth $5 or is one of the bigger amounts.

I'll read a few of the highest scores a few of the lower scores and a few of the middle scores to get a good overall view.I don't understand why thats bad.

I got one too, but haven't had time to go in store to see what the amount is. I'm pretty sure I got the minimum $5 but still, the 0.000000001% chance that it could be more is nagging at me.

 
It's a perfectly valid way to quickly get an idea of something. It shouldn't be your only source though, especially when dealing with offbeat, niche, and quirky things.

I don't mean using it as a place to compile several reviews, I mean taking the "metascore" as fact. Some things about the metascore:

- It is not an actual average of the reviews. Some publications are weighted much more than others.

- Variance in scoring methods causes even more problems. For example, say a place uses a 5 star review system, where 1 star is the lowest it can go. This means something that's total unplayable dogshit still gets at least a 20. It's assigning a numerical percentage value to something where that isn't actually what is intended.

- Sometimes the Metacritic people simply assign a score they feel appropriate if none is given in the review. That's fucked up.

Metacritic is still better for games than it is for movies, though, largely because most game reviewers adhere to at least a 10 point scale. For movies, Metacritic is beyond useless, as you can take the above problems and magnify them. Thumbs up or thumbs down? Well, shit, it's either 0 or 100!

I think Rotten Tomatoes, with a simple % of positive/negative, is much more accurate. Plus, in their case, if they have to assign a positive/negative to a review, that's something that's much easier to infer from text than a score on a 100 point scale.

Basically Metacritic is broken, it always has been, and game publishers using it as a metric to determine if developers get a goddamn bonus is terrible.

 
Anyone's Fridge Edition of Blops 3 ship yet? Both mine and my brother's are marked as "Preparing your item for shipping". I've never pre-ordered from Best Buy for shipping so I'm not sure at what point they ship out pre-orders.

For me, they wait until the day before it comes out and ship it overnight. So they might ship it tomorrow. My (ghetto regular version) Blops 3 is also "preparing."

Mine has been preparing since Monday. Usually with Tuesday releases, my package is shipped Monday around 5pm and delivered around noon on Tuesday. The last Friday release(Mario Maker) I preordered didn't get delivered until the following Tuesday(I believe the Monday was a holiday). So really it could go either way. The last CE I ordered was mgs5 and BB packed it really well. Hopefully with the Juggernog Edition being heavier and larger, I hope for the same quality of packaging.
 
I'm confused. I thought they were 12-can fridges. How can they be disappointing? Imagine something for holding a 12-pack, and that's what they advertised.

Also, remember that $250 for Halo 5 got you a dumb statue, a steelbook, and a bunch of paper. It can't be THAT disappointing, haha.

Mine's getting here tomorrow. It's 15.9 Lbs. Lol... It was shipped Tuesday. I am elite not sure if that matters on why it got shipped so fast?

So it's the size of a 12 pack and not an inch bigger. That's still not very big if you think about the size of a 12 pack.

I got an email with a code after preordering. A sweepstakes entry has to be just about the worst "pre-order bonus" in history though. Witcher 3 had a steelbook, Bethesda isn't even trying.

They automatically send it to you if you preorder. I had no idea the sweepstakes was a thing and I received a code about a week after I pre-ordered.
 
When is the cut off for pre-order black ops 3 with the 10 dollar bonus
I'd say Midnight or so, but AC Syndicate was fucked up the day before release on the website and wouldn't allow you to check out. I'd say if you're really pressed, just go to the store today and put $5 down.

I would just pre-order asap...the store where I pre-ordered my copy is doing it at 9pm tonight
 
Does the trick where you pay mostly in GCs and the rest cash still give you points from a purchase? I Pre ordered Tomb raider yesterday, and I'm curious if it'll work.

Not what I wanted to hear but thanks for the response. I may end up going into the store and getting it that morning instead and just returning the shipment when it arrives. I am most likely going to be off from work on Tuesday and Wednesday so I want to really use that time to play this game. Ugh

 
Got this in from Best Buy today. Haven't opened it so I can't complain about the size of the fridge yet.
