Pre-ordered both Destiny and Watch Dogs for my PS4 yesterday

BBY sent me 2 emails about the Destiny beta which also included 2 different beta codes

So far its GameStop and GAME.co.uk that has Destiny preorder bonuses?

Go in store. Watch Dogs CE is sold out online and I still preordered in store.

Tried to preorder the Watch Dogs CE for PS3 in-store at 2 different Best Buys in VA, but it wasn't available; it WAS available for the other consoles, however.

Been checking online everyday, hoping it comes back in stock for preorder.

You physically went in? Shame. I also reserved it about a month ago on the X1.

Sorry to send you back in store but you could see if a store rep can locate any store even outside of your area that has one available for pre-order. If so see if they can work something out for you.
If you do find one available but the store reps aren`t sure how to assist contact the elite/elite plus reps(assuming you`re elite/elite plus) using their contact # & tell them the store info. They`ve worked magic in the past for several people I`ve sent to them in the past with similar issues. Even a local store may get extras would could be held or shipped to you.

You just gotta get the RIGHT people. An employee at my store was so dimwitted and lazy, he claimed "we can't reserve a game without the print-out receipt from the kiosk." Even after telling him the kiosk hasn't worked in months and I've previously ordered just using the SKU. A dude who was helping my mom with a phone straight up said, "What are the SKUs?" Gave them to him, and he reserved all 3 games, including the CE of Watch Dogs. Did it from his cell phone station.

Its all about the right people.

That`s so true, it`s good to have a good relationship with the good store reps they do wonders across the board. And when you really need them they wind up talking to a manager doing the convincing for you all you gotta do is nod, smile & say thank you.

Figure I'll ask here: I did an in-store preorder for the first time for Watch Dogs. How do I pick it up? Do I have to go to the customer service desk, or can I just go to a register and show my receipt, etc?

Bring your preorder receipt to the Store Pickup desk after the game releases.

Unfortunately, the gaming sections at the two stores I visited have been drastically down-scaled over the past year, and all of the knowledgeable employees are long gone. The reps and managers I spoke to simply directed me to the preorder kiosks, stating that if a game wasn't listed, it couldn't be preordered. (Again, the Watch Dogs CE for PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 WERE available for preorder in both stores; only the PS3 version was unavailable; this was about a week ago.)

With that being said, I am traveling over the weekend and will be able to check a few more stores; will try some of the suggested tips.

Agree 100%. There's a csr I go to regularly and now that she recognizes me since I always go to her for trade ins the process is so easy and flows. She also lets me combine my gift cards without question.
 
Just put my order in for Wolfenstein, Dying Light, and WatchDogs. 

I'll sell my Wolfenstein just so I can get the $20 cert.

Fillout the feedback sections on receipts when she helps you I believe this helps both the rep & store. Plus it may also affect her pay raises too they won`t forget you if you help their wallet too.
I got in good with reps I never talked to b/c other reps said I always had my $hit together, always had my receipts, proof of price match already pulled up& never made a fuss. They go the extra mile if you make their day easier plus if you follow after @sshole customers they really appreciate you being prepared & not yelling at them.
Nothing funnier than seeing upset customer trying to return something used with no receipt, didn`t use their rz & they want cash back for entire amount paid...just take their word for it lol. I seen people try this with tvs, cell phones, tablets...then I come up with a YMMV pm they`re like at least you got the ad from the other store/site & if we didn`t do you wouldn`t curse at us.

Thanks. May buy this for the campaign. Looks interesting. No comment on multiplayer til I see more. Though my online fix may be obsessed with Destiny...

 
Visited two Best Buy stores in Northern VA today--the Watch Dogs CE for ALL platforms is no longer available for preorder in-store, at least in my area. Checked via preorder kiosk, confirmed by a manager.

No shock there I don`t think COD has been excluded from a BB promo for a few yrs. I remember the MW2 one was pretty good don`t remember prior to that but I think Circuit City was still around back then too.

Also the kiosk is listing madden 15 will be $10 in points. Not updated on the website however.

Wow. That would be icing on the cake for those who pre-ordered it during the..., um, deal a few days ago.

I can't remember, are EA published titles typically a part of these promos?  Just wondering what the odds are of them adding Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Pretty much most of their sports titles are always there along with shooters, Dragon Age titles haven`t been apart of the pre-order deals but there will be a big ideax thread dedicated to additional games after E3. That way BB has a baseline of feedback.

Also, after a few years of complaining looks like PC gamers will be included going forward.

[quote name="kelo360" post="11737146" timestamp="1399327436"]No I was just my NorCal best buy had madden 15 with a $10 credit on their kiosk. Not updated on their website yet.[/quote] cool. No sense pre ordering so early though. There was a lot of good deals last year for madden 25. Remember those shick and trade up next gen deals? I guess we prob might not get those this year.

Heck BB had that guaranteed $45 trade in for madden.

could be a kindle special offer to amazon had madden 25 $5 last November in the first week of November
 
Also keep in mind Amazon is selling a standard edition right now. That may mean they will offer a special edition with NFL Sunday Ticket included like last year.
 
Wolfenstein is a no brainer, you can play it keep the beta and make $ flipping it back in. I'd buy it even if I didn't wanna play it or Doom. Ditto that on Mario Kart although I am HYPED for that game. 

I didn't take part in the pre-order glitches hope you guys don't get them cancelled. I did hammer the same day in store pick-ups and came back and did another round the next day. Getting lots of Amazon and Walmart orders received credits and updates today. Wish I'd kept some for the 70% GS bump but oh well. Still profitable and nice trading towards half price groceries. :)

I was originally planning to do that -- play it then trade it right back in -- but I just found out that the 360 version comes on 4 discs!!!! Unless they're all graphic assets, there's no way I can finish a 4 disc game in one day.

I wasnt sure about getting the game before. But the DOOM beta and huge discount/coupon return from Best Buy adds a great kicker making it worthwhile.

Elder scrolls has been delayed for approximately 6 months :/ I was planning to get it on best buy with GCU.

Yup, now its completely fallen off my radar. .... Shoulda come out in the late June, during the annual summer drought. Woulda made it easier to overlook the subscription fee (*cough* pay for one month then stop *cough*). But late 2014 / early 2015 puts it up against some amazing games.
