[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...

Yeah I just got through about 25 codes without a problem but you are screwed no matter what if someone complains. It is funny someone paying $4 fora code would do that but it happens...some people just are rotten.
 
I received my NBA 2K13 "ALL STAR DLC" code yesterday as I left the store from picking up the game. ALready sold it on Ebay for more than the pending RZ certificates lol BUT I just received another code from Best Buy called: " NBA2K 13 - Preorder Bonus" I'm away from my 360 can't punch it in to see what it comes up as before you click redeem now... anyone know what this is?

It's the All star bonus mode. Can play as legends/current players in the 3 point shoot out and dunk contest. Play the rookie game and then the east vs. west all in the Houston arena if I remember correctly.

Pre-ordered online on Monday afternoon. It was too late to pre-order in store according to a BB employee.

Yesterday I got what you described:

"Nba 2K13 Allstar Preorder Bonus Dlc - Xbox 360 [Digital Download Add-On]"

Today:

"NBA2K 13 - Preorder Bonus"



Guess i'll punch the code in when I get off work and see what the remdemption summary says.
 
[quote name='DemonsMaster']Did you even read the OP? It takes around 30 days for reward zone points to show up in your account. Sometimes it can come faster, but patience is your best friend when it comes to waiting for your $20 cert.

my problem with this deal is

1. inconsistency, some people are already getting their credit.
2. it's been 2 weeks - waiting 30 days for anything to be electonically delivered is bull...

defeats the whole purpose of this preorder deal in my eyes. and that was to use it towards another new release purchase, and roll it over to the next.

by that time i get the credit - let's be honest the game's price will drop online for $30 or less. + i would've beaten it and moved on by then, and you'll be stuck on another game credit train like "kmart" had a while back.

look - i just want my rzone credit and no one gets hurt...

People are getting them early because they are getting them from the date they preordered it on, not the pick up date. So I preordered mine Borderlands 2 on 9/1 and got my 1000 points on 10/2, unfortunately I preordered RE6 on 9/1 too, picked it up 10/2 on release and have my points pending right now, if I get them early great, if not, no big deal. You do not need to roll every cert from one game to the immediate next one out. I am still able to use them on something I was going to get anyways, such as my RE6 and Dishonored points will go towards BLOPS 2 or Halo 4 and I would pay $40 less for it.

edit: also if the price drops within 30 days (60 days for silver members) one can PM it to another store and get that $30 price tag anyways.

Re6 doesnt totally suck but its not the 9.1 I thought it would be. Camera is bad, ammo is almost non existent, and worse of all you cant pause the game.

BTW the begg. to chapter 2 of jake's story was some of the most frustrating gameplay Ive had since my playthrough of ninja gaiden 3.

So it is basically the first Resident Evil? That was a great game, but I believe it had all 3 of those problems.

You can pause if you choose to play in Offline Mode when starting the game. I agree with your other two points though. They obviously want it to be an action game first but fail to give out ammo while the enemies take quite a few bullets to kill. I also HATE, HATE, HATE getting locked in a room filled with enemies with these clunky ass controls and camera. The cover system sucks too. Why not just copy Gears' or Uncharted's cover mechanics? No manual with limited tutorials doesn't help either. Biggest disappointment of the year to me so far.

OMG for sure it is. I had to stop playing that chapter for fear of throwing my controller at something.
 
Anybody have any pseudo review on RE6 local co-op? Didn't preorder RE6 since the wife and I are still playing Borderlands 2, and will be doing so for some time.
 
Well I on the other hand am thoroughly enjoying it, and I've only nicked the surface of the game. I'm enjoying the variety in characters and how they fight, the skill system is pretty neat, and I love the fact they added that Demon's Souls esqe invading system.

Sure the game has its little flaws like the camera panning off to show a POI while enemies sucker punch you, but overall, this is a very polished game. And even WITH its flaws, the game is worthy of at LEAST an 8/10.

Seems a lot of people are having trouble with the dodge dive and slide moves but I'm finding them to be second nature for me.

Just played the first boss battle on Jake's first chapter and I was sliding and rolling out the woodwork almost shocked at myself for my fast maneuvering, and in the end didn't even take a hit because of my evading.

Game is well worth the price for the content given, IMHO..

The skill system is ok but I much prefer the weapon upgrades in RE5. It felt way more satisfying to build each weapon up then just put 3 points into the Firearm skill.

A big problem with the dodge dive is that you are not aware it exists unless you stumble on it or happen to catch the loading screen telling you about it. I'd also rather have it be one button or a double tap instead of LT+A. Same with the cover system I talked about before...they both just feel clunky. Anyway, why they didn't include a manual for a game with so much going on is beyond me. It's ok for something like CoD where you basically point and shoot but I think there's way too much going on in RE6 to basically force customers to hit the web or, what I'm sure Capcom hopes, buy the strategy guide.

I will agree that there is a ton of content in the game. Been hearing you tread familiar ground several times though.
 
I'm glad you guys are posting your opinions on RE6. Now I know to start with Ada's story first. I don't want to start with Jakes,get pissed,then want to trade the game in ASAP.

I heard Leon's is the best so I'm probably going to sacs that for last.

I'm wondering,if I do Ada's story,Then go to Jakes and get pissed half way,can I go to Leon's? Or do I have to complete Jakes fully before I can go to Leon's story?

You can only do Ada's after you've beaten the other 3. You can switch off between the unlocked campaigns though. I played 3 chapters with Leon then started Chris' campaign. Just do chapter select from the menu instead of continue.
 
I had to take long pauses between Leon's first mission. It's god-awful. All I'll say on that is beware of cars.

His campaign gets much better. There has been only one other moment that I've been super frustrated with the game and I'm about to start the last chapter tomorrow.

Leon's first mission started ok then went downhill after
the gun shop. The room after room full of enemies mixed with too many NPCs was just too much. Add in the fat zombie straight out of L4D that takes forever to kill and I was just not having fun. Once the bus came, I ran out of ammo the first time and had to quit the game and restart ALL THE WAY back at the beginning of the gun shop ordeal. Things ramped up way too quickly in my opinion. Since that is almost certainly going to be the first mission everyone plays, I think a little more even pacing would have been better.

I'm really sorry for asking this here but I just bought a 360 slim last week and I can't decide if I should get the Nyko STS intercooler, I really just want it as I have 2 dogs who shed a lot and my PS3 gets really dusty as it is and I'm afraid with the big vent on the side of the Xbox if it will easily trap dust and dog hair inside, anybody with knowledge/experience with this could please help me out? I'd really appreciate, again I'm sorry for posting this here but idk where else to ask as YouTube videos aren't really helping me out

IIRC the first MoH beta was 360 only too...EA's playing both sides of the field with exclusive content (Battlefield for PS3 and MoH for 360).
 
I pre-ordered Halo 4, Black Ops 2, and Assassin's Creed 3 in June and Never got the dog tags or the steel book for assassin's creed. Do they usually have more when the game comes out?

same here, i would of preordered if i could have tried out the demo. i won't feel sorry for ea at all, if the game flops ,LOL
 
So is the official process at Best Buy for the computer to acknowledge it as a fulfilled preorder to: Come up as an exchange receipt at pickup, with the preorder marked as a RETURN and whatever game you bought to automatically ring in $5 cheaper?

I guess, at least from the ammo perspective, it depends on the difficulty.

What difficulty are you playing it in?

I played Jake's story on Amateur (easy difficulty) and had 100 bullets by half of the 1st segment. Over 200 bullets by the giant boss fight. SO for me, there was too much ammo. Again, maybe it depends on the difficulty, since ammo was more than generous in my game.
 
I received my BL2 points and code days later. I picked up RE6 on Tuesday and have not received my code yet. It just showed on my reward zone this morning that I got it Tuesday. I really do not like the BB pre-order system. I got bounce around a lot on their phone support (silver member) because no one knew about the BL2 pre-order bonus. Because I got bounced around, they gave me a $25 giftcard and an additional 500 RZ points on top of the $20 RZ promo. I ended up paying about $24 out of pocket for RE6

I'm not really looking forward to picking up Halo 4 and COD BO2 from there. However, Amazon doesn't give much incentive anymore to buy from them either.
 
[quote name='shady520']People are getting them early because they are getting them from the date they preordered it on, not the pick up date. So I preordered mine Borderlands 2 on 9/1 and got my 1000 points on 10/2, unfortunately I preordered RE6 on 9/1 too, picked it up 10/2 on release and have my points pending right now, if I get them early great, if not, no big deal. You do not need to roll every cert from one game to the immediate next one out. I am still able to use them on something I was going to get anyways, such as my RE6 and Dishonored points will go towards BLOPS 2 or Halo 4 and I would pay $40 less for it.

edit: also if the price drops within 30 days (60 days for silver members) one can PM it to another store and get that $30 price tag anyways.[/QUOTE]
This logic doesn't make sense.... I preordered mine this summer. So I should have had my $20 GC before the game even came out. It's always been in relation to pick-up date just like PM is. It's so you can't get the points and just return the game getting free points.

Unless you're just talking about your reward points for purchase not the Bonus $20. I got my regular points a couple days ago. Never went pending... just appeared.

Makes perfect sense, are you preordering online? Also you have to pick up the game for it to award you the points, not just give it to you because then you would not have fulfilled the order. Notice how borderlands 2 was ordered 9/1 and I got 1000 points from it on 10/2

 
I think it would be a lot easier and would calm a lot more people if they just did this $20 promo like they did with ME3. With purchase/preorder of that game, you got a printable $20 GC emailed to you..NOT RZ points equivilant to $20.

I got that $20 GC about a week after I bought ME3. Easiest freebie GC I've received from Best Buy.

The key to that would be to not let people know they're getting the GC emailed, that way, chances are, the person has already opened the game and is playing it, that way when the GC comes, they can't go and get a refund on the game even though its still under 30 days.

I preordered my games online for shipping back in July. The purchases don't show up until the game ships. Once they show up all the points, including bonus points, are available because it's going by the July date. That's how it's working in my account.

It would be easier for people to just return the game and keep the GC if they did it that way. This way is fine, they just need to better inform their employees on how to correctly process a pre-order pickup so people wont run into issues with receiving their cert and DLC.
 
off topic, but why doesn't bestbuy have preorder for Aliens: Colonial Marines in xbox 360/ ps3? is it cancelled?

Man, I wish my extra $20 would show up early... I'd love to flip it over toward Dishonored. But it's no big loss... I'm sure I'll spend $20 at BB at some point in the next couple months.
 
I know they had a poll at BB forums trying to waive your return option and get points
quicker.

I pre ordered on 9/8 for BL2 and says available around 10/13 so looks like it goes by preorder date not release.
 
i think i'm in the same boat - preordered online, not in store pickup.

according to best buy.com - it shows order completed but
according to my rz.com - it shows total earned with this transaction 223

i called best buy to try to get this sorted out and they say that they see it pending in there system... but i have checked 100x times and don't see it in my screen in the past 2yr records.

i think it's time to give them another call.

i think it's time to give them another call.[/QUOTE]

The RZ website has 2 sides. There's an internal BB one that they can access and there's an external one that we gamers use.

The external one is a little wonky. I've validated this by attempting to report what I thought were missing preorders in the past whenever the RZ site went glitchy and couldnt display my transaction but in doing so the system would report that the reported transaction was ”already applied to the account.” Sometimes logging right back in or just checking the site a couple of days later showed my missing transaction again. This would explain the missing transactions others have reported about. Point is at the end of the day you're fine as long as you link your transaction with your RZ account.

That and wait 30 days. I cannot emphasize my last point enough.
