[quote name='lordopus99']$20 Reward Zone Gamer's Club Unlocked for Dummies

1) You will not get your $20 RZ until around the 30-35 day mark (after purchase). Stop worrying about it until that point.
2) The RZ website is far from accurate. Proof in point, the RZ silver bar. Again, see #1. Patience is a virtue.

What does this mean on a purchase?
- RZGC UNLOCKED PO 10 DISCOUNT - Your 10% discount for Pre Owned Games. This will show up for ANY purchase (gaming or not) as long as you are Gamer's Club Unlocked.
- PS-(system)-(game) i.e. PS-X360-RESIDENT EVIL 6 - This is your preorder being deducted from the purchase of the game.

Preorder DLC Bonus - You need to have an email address associated to your Reward Zone account. This is the email address they will send your DLC code to. It typicially can take a day to obtain this. Potentially up to a week. Note your luck of getting this by the time you get home is a crapshoot. Wait a week and then call customer service if you haven't received.

FOR YOUR POINTS...
If your physical receipt shows like below, you should get your $20RZ preorder bonus.

EXCHANGE

Original Tran (Cust Serv Pin) Date

Return Items
Pre-order SKU PS-(system)-(game) 5.00-

Sale Items
SKU Name of Game for above 59.99

The complaining about these points/DLC need to die down. Come on guys/gals...

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE[/QUOTE]

Anyone know how long best buy online orders take to get delivered? Specifically how long after release date do get them? If I could avoid the drive and long lines I'd get more games.

if you want to get the game as soon as possible after release, you should avoid having shipped to your home.

Next best thing is Amazon for a $15 credit + the Bauer pack DLC or something like that.
 
Just called best buy told them about the Madden 13 sale at target and said "alright, well be mailing it to you and you should get it in 7-10 days". I don't even think he looked it up lol. When he asked me "you said target is selling it for $49.99" I almost told him "no $39.99" just because he literally just got my order # and that was it. I was on the phone for like 1 minute and got my email right when I hung up
 
Not that it was necessary but i got a RZ email promoting a $20 cert with a Black Ops 2 preorder. The amount of $20 was buried in the fine print on the bottom of the email oddly.
 
[quote name='Kevlar338']I stand corrected missed the 45 a tru , wish I knew though 45 sounds better than 50[/QUOTE]

Not only does it sound better, I just verified that it actually is better.

I wonder why they are mailing you a physical gift card. If you pay by credit card or gift card they just do a price adjustment and credit the $10 back to your credit card or gift card. At least, that's the way it has always been for me. Congratz on getting the price match, though.

The BB rep mentioned that but I had already thrown away the gift card I used a long time ago thinking I wasn't going to need it again

That's a pretty tall order. Skyrim is considered by many to be a GOTY for 2011. Not sure if Borderlands 2 can top that realistically speaking.

no luck here. csr said i had to wait til sunday because the target employee she called said that he couldn't confirm the upcoming ad yet.

You should try calling back tomorrow and say there's a sale for $39.99 at target and hope he doesn't check because the rep I talked to I know for fact did not call or check his computer or anything, he just took my word and believed me.

Edit: if this is illegal/fraud, I will gladly delete this.
 
Anyone know for sure if we get the $20 RZ cert with the special editions of black ops 2? The guy that works the gaming section at my store didn't really know (he said he knows the assassins creed special editions are getting the $20 but hasn't heard on blops 2), and it doesn't show it as being part of the promo on the pre-order kiosk. I did a preorder for the hardened edition today but if it doesnt get the 20 RZ cert I'll just go with the regular. I apologize if this has already been covered somewhere in the post.
 
halo 4 is the only one I definitely will get,
AC3 will be $10 in march like every other AC game i think so that is out.
Borderlands gets boring in 5 days so not spending $ on that until it is like $20
Black ops 2 is a maybe, if i have money i'l get it...
everything else I wouldn't want anyway.

Yeah, it was covered...in the FAQs of the OP.

Idk about other CAGs but I had a difficult time trying to find assassins creed brotherhood under $15-$20 until I finally got it from gohastings for $10 shipped.

That's cause Brotherhood was great, same with AC2. The only reason why ACR was so cheap so quickly was because it wasn't too good. It played a lot like 1, which was extremely repetitive.

Don't say that, Im almost done with ACB and was looking forward to finally get started on ACR until you said that... no wonder Ubisoft put AC1 in ACR for free

It was repetitive because it was the 3rd game in the 2nd series using the formula, lol. Do you think they would have put a lot of time and effort into engineering new stuff for a yearly update to a game using an old engine? Lol
 
Do you guys think dishonored is gonna be a 8/10 or 9/10 game on IGN? The gameplay and graphics look so sweet, then again I own a PS3 and the game is made by Bethesda so you know what that means.. But if the game is supposed to be amazing, I'd definately pre order this

Bethesda is just the publisher... Which, might mean you should be more worried. Because I cannot think of a single game that Bethesda just published that didn't have serious issues. The most high profile of recent is Rage, which seemed very much to be a love or hate affair. Less recently, Brink and Hunted: the Demon's Forge.

So... Yeah. Not a real history of quality there.

The game looks great but you are sadly right about Bethesda when it comes to games not called Fallout or Elder Scrolls.

Well I HATED Skyrim and loved the first Borderlands. Skyrim I played for a 5-6 hours and just got bored. All the missions felt the same, retrieve this, retrieve that. Bethsheba then released overpriced DLC that 2 systems might not even get.
Borderlands was co-op throughout, didn't have to worry about item weight, was humorous, had elemental guns, and last but not least, reasonably priced DLC and all systems got it at the same time.

if that is true, it is either going to end up on bestbuy as the deal of the day for $5 eventually, or $5 with the gamers unlocked club coupons
 
[quote name='Mugatu']The game looks great but you are sadly right about Bethesda when it comes to games not called Fallout or Elder Scrolls.[/QUOTE]

Yup, I got Brink day 1 goes it looked great and all that... and it was a complete and utter disaster.

Now, I'm not claiming that Dishonored is going to suck. In fact I do currently have it preordered and I hope its awesome as it looks... but, well, I doubt I keep my preorder... Just too many other games of none quality that I know will serve me well this fall/winter.
 
Did Brink get the same type of hype before release like dishonored? I know rage was really hyped up but that's mainly because the same developers that invented the FPS genre made the game. I just think that the teleportation in dishonored is so unique and think it can be 9/10 rated game. Ahh, decisions... If you could pre order one game between AssCreed3 and Dishonored, which would you guys choose?
 
AC3. Why? Known, established IP. The developers are highly regarded. An interesting setting that isn't overused in the video game world. Multiplayer.

I'm also a big fan of the AC series after playing 2, Bro, Rev this past June, so I may be a bit partial. Dishonored does look good, but its the one game that has been on and off my list over the past few weeks. Its the one fringe title of this deal for me.

Three words: Whale. Oil. Lamp.

To give you a better answer, I think you'd be happier getting them both. I realize that it means an initial $120 to do so, but you know that the price of AC3 is going to drop inside the price match window (especially since we're talking pre-Christmas pricing). If Dishonored ends up being so-so, you're still likely to be able to trade it in for Best Buy for around $40 shortly after release.

When it's all said and done, at worst that $120 should give you around $80 in BB credit and AC3 for the cheapest price within the PM window.

Couldn't agree more. Skyrim was like a carrot on a stick with no carrot. Never any reward or sense of progression. Combat was poorly conceived, and really it was an utter snoozefest.

Borderlands 2 has me excited, as I enjoyed playing the first one co-op very much.

If that's the case than wouldnt it be better to preorder AssCreed3 because of the 60 day holiday Price match guarantee (for everyone, not just silver member)
