[quote name='nnthomas']Is GameStop the only place offering the Dead Island Steelbook? I plan on buying that game anyway, I will pre-order it there.[/QUOTE]
If your BB still has them in stock, you can get them there at the time of Pre-Order. You will need to find the steel case on the shelf in the VG section.
I know a couple of my BB still have them.

I did this with Starhawk last year when it dropped to $30 for a one day sale. I have two GameStops in my city. Bought a second copy for the $30, then went to the other store and returned one with the first receipt.
Easy peasy.

Went to a Gamestop tonight and saw that all 0.99 cent PS2 games were marked down to 2 cents each.
Saw games like Gran Turismo 3 and Splashdown for that price.
Just checked their website and it seems they have de-listed most of their 99cent games though but the few that are still their indeed show the new 2 cent price.

This is why best buy does 30-day price matching (or 60 for silver members). Why can't GS catch on to this? What a waste of time for both me as the consumer and the company to go through that charade over 10 dollars. It's why I haven't set foot in a GS in years. I did in-store pick up with Ni No Kuni at BBY and it took a simple call to their 888 number to do a price match/adjustment.

This is probably why so many of their stores are closing. They aren't interested in what gamers want. They just want $$$ and are too stupid to change their ways.

Far Cry 3 (on 360) on the other-hand.... i'm tempted to get because I have a $25 gift card. Any thoughts or recommendations on it? All I heard was good stuff. Hrmmm..

Yeah it's odd however it makes it impossible to preorder titles and earn the $20 RZ cert while doing post purchase adjustments now since you're not supposed to void the original preorder if you want the $20 cert.

You should be able to price adjust any purchase with 60 days (PS members). If your item was an initial price match, then you have 15 days if it becomes even cheaper.
For example.
You buy a game for $60 you can price adjust any BB price drops/sales up to 60 days (PS members).
If you buy a game that was priced match at another retailer (Amazon, etc) then you have 15 days regardless of RZ level.
Game was the example I used but the new policy will be any items. Not a bad move on their end.

No, thats wrong.
You can only PM other retailers at time of purchase no matter who you are.
No matter what level you are, you get 15 days to PM if it goes on sale at best buy or bestbuy.com
Regular members only get 15 days to return an item, while silver members still get 60 days to do a return.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I didn't mean PS members only (that's why I had it near 60 days). Pretty much what you typed is how it will be.

The one thing the policy doesn't talk about is PMs after purchase. If you read the policy it states:
"At the time of purchase, we will match the current pre-tax price for new, identical, immediately available products from a local retail competitor’s store and these designated major online retailers: ....
We will match prices between our stores and BestBuy.com ®. We will also match prices post purchase if we lower our price within 15 days of your purchase.
The Guarantee is limited to one price match per identical item, per guest and does not apply to: Contract mobile phone devices and plans, the online prices of retailers not listed, the online prices of third party vendors (Marketplace vendors) on designated major online retailers websites, post purchase price match requests to competitor’s prices"
It isnt clear (to me at least) if that means no post purchase PMs to any competitors at all, or if there is another policy for PMs against other retailers. If it is the first option, it is actually worse than their current 30 day PM window against other B&M retailers, which I dont think is their intention. Hell, even Target's new policy includes a 7 day (granted it was 15 before) post purchase PM window to any retailer.

Seems clear to me as was summarized a couple posts above.
The only post purchase PMing is within 15 days by BB stores or BB.com. Only PM available with local retailers occurs is when you purchase the item.
The silver benefits have been severely pruned by reducing the PM possibilities/windows although I PMed MGR yesterday with Fry's.

Agreed that the benefits of silver are reduced significantly. The only other thing I can find is that the 15-day PM window wont go into effect for silver members until April 18.
"If Best Buy lowers a price on a product (online or in-store) we will allow price-matching up to 15 days following the original purchase. This applies to all customers including Reward Zone Premier Silver members. Please note: After a transition period for Reward Zone Premier Silver members through April 18, 2013, the 15 day period of the Price Match policy goes into effect (post-purchase – Best Buy only)."
I'm assuming that means silvers can post-purchase PM to BB any purchase within 60 days, assuming it was bought before March 3, and only until April 18.
