I guess I'll take my chances and not place an order for in-store pick up tonight and hope to find 2 KI tomorrow afternoon-ish and pick out another game for the B2G1 deal.

 

[Jackovasaurus]

[quote name='dgwillia006']Whats with the email saying an item needs to be shipped to store? I ordered the literal minute it popped up...[/QUOTE]

Huh? Just checked my email, and got the standard we received your order email.

I think the site might be exploding. I just checked my shipping emails from the Blowout deals, said the same thing, despite everything being in store that morning

 

[slidecage]

That sounds normal to me. The stores are closed right now, but it's after midnight. They'll probably just pull your order first thing when they open. I've done store pick-up this late and I don't get the 'ready for pick-up' email until they are actually open the next morning lol.

 

[Tsel]

All of my pickup emails from the blowout sales said that my items needed to be shipped to the store and they were there waiting for me the very next day. As always, you're reading too much into things,

thats the point i dont read

nite all going back to bed so i can get up and run over there at 10am before work at 1030am

maybe if they have 2 more in stock i will grab those for people here (no promisses)

 

[watchgintama]

Not going to order this since I already have the game. I'm just pissed that this deal came AFTER I bought it recently.

Anyway, I need some KI:U buddies so it's fine.

 

[htz]

The stock locator on the BB website is usually accurate. If you don't see it on the floor, it is cause somebody misplaced it/hid it or the stock is in the backroom.

 

[Nintendokid54]

sweet... i thought i had to wait till midnight to order... $16.30 with tax in CA...
also there is an android app to get the AR cards

Woot. Just ordered one. $15.93 total with free shipping. Hopefully it will be at the house sooner than later.

The system is set at default to this message.
If they do have copies at the store, the employee will pick it up and scan it to their system, and you'll receive another e-mail saying that your game is ready for pick-up, usually a few minutes before 10am or opening hours.

this is normal..... for store pick up anyway....

 

[duderanch]

I think everyone is worrying for nothing. I received the exact same "3 to 7 business days" e-mail when I ordered Rhythm Heaven last month, and everything was fine with the order.

 

[nhlducks35]

If I ordered in store pickup and I don't want it will they refund my money or can I cancel it on the website and receive my refund from there?

LOL thought that said Bathroom instead of backroom

was going to say i think i pass on those games

almost 2am and says still in stock ... why did i get up probally be in stock all day

 

[scottman]

dang, too bad I got this back at launch for $30 and never even played it yet. If it was zelda, I would buy one just to keep sealed, but I doubt kid icarus is as collectible.

Rythm heaven/Fever
NFS the run
Metroid Other M
Pilotwings
SSFIV 3DS

They all receieved that same message and all of them became ready for pick-up between 9am-10am the next day, AKA ordered today, will be ready by tuesday.

So yeah, the message is default and perfectly normal.

Sadly when searching online, the store I picked is the only one listed as unavailable now. Other stores show up as available. Still a little worried.

 

[RoMee]

Looks like it's sold out online.
Shipping option is no longer available.

 

[outerfox]

In for Kid Icarus Rising. I don't have a 3DS but it doesn't hurt to start collecting games now just in case I get one in the not too distant future.

 

[SpartenOmega117]

Glad this Deal came up. I was thinking about returning my 3ds xl since i was bored with it and the games were just too expensive. This rekindled my interest. Thanks best buy!

Reconnaissance.
Check your stores, if applicable, before the actual deal starts so you have a good idea which one has a good chance of not being OOS when the deal goes live.

Yeah, but I chose the one by work so we'll see how that goes. Last time I went there, they were redoing the 3DS section. All I can do now is hope they have it.

3rd title for a system I yet to own.

[Pixie Stix 88]

Is live.

In for 1.

 

[RoMee]

I've had my 3DS since launch and this is only the 2nd game I bought for me.

 

[guardkitty]

normally my local store would show "unavailable" if it wasn't in stock (Kid Icarus) but now my store does not show up on the list at all, anyone else get this?

 

[209chromatic]

Is this the only DOTD fo this week?

 

[chahi]

In for one. Thanks OP!

 

[bobo2k4]

In for one. Now I got enough 3DS till winter.

 

[209chromatic]

I won't be surpised if this makes it back as a DOTD at a lower price.

Yes and it's because my local store is one of the fifty or so that are closing this year. Perhaps it's the same scenario with your store.

My store isn't one of the ones on the list, I put it for pickup on another store that is a little out of the way but I'll call the local one in the morning

 

[strait edge follower]

Wow this game was terrible. Who mapped the controls ? You are basically controlling the game with one hand. Even with that black stand thing it comes with it isnt relaxing to play. My canadate for most dissapointing game this year

Yeah no doubt. I only finished Bulletstorm the other day from when that was part of the 2.0 Blowout. Now to work on Crysis 2, Dead Space 2 and the other sh...tuff I got.

Way I figured, it couldn't hurt to have it. Worst case scenario, I sell it on ebay for $40 around the Holidays if I don't have a 3DS by then. Now if only we'll see a $14.99 Zelda and Star Fox... then Paper Mario when that comes out!

 

[dschroll]

Thanks OP. In for one as well.

 

[NEP]

I sold my copy of the game while I could still get money for it. I liked the game itself.. but..

The controls were just horrible. I don't understand how people can defend them.

I've actually never seen anybody complain about the game for anything other than the controls!

 

[akilshohen]

Got it for instore pick up. Gonna sit on it until I get an XL, trying to play anything on the regular 3DS just about hurts my hands.

 

[pinoyunggoy]

Thanks, got one for instore pickup.

 

[Yeloazndevil]

got my instore pickup order in

 

[PublikDefender]

just got back from best buy. they only had 2 copies of icarus 3ds so i got:

b2g1free:
kid icarus 3ds $15
kid icarus 3ds $15
and a third game (trade bait).
total: $30

 

[highoffcoffee496]

amazing deal! i'll prob be getting it tomorrow

 

[Tygamr]

I didn't hate the controls for air battles, but they were terrible for land battles. I wish they had put the aiming reticle in a fixed position (but only when you're on land)- flicking the touchscreen to turn is a pain, and can cause issues navigating certain areas and fighting enemies.

It really shows that it was originally in development for the Wii...

 

[Drclaw411]

anybody know what the trade in value at GS is? I have a cart-only copy and i'm considering trading that copy in and buying one of these.
