Best Buy turning into Gamestop

CAGiversary!
Walk in to buy TLOU Remastered today, "oh sorry we only got enough copies for pre-orders." fuck that shit. I'm not going to pre-order every single game I want on launch. Can't wait for my current Unlocked membership to run out so I can buy all my games on Amazon.

Anyone else have this happen to them or is it just my local Best Buy?

My Best Buy sucks. The whole store is a pretty big cluster fuck. I think the worst was when I bought a tablet with store pickup, and somehow they lost the tablet before I got there, it's just a bad experience overall.

I don't go there often, and I've never preordered a game from there, so I can't speak for that.

 
Actually, TC, this is one thing that I would not pin on Gamestop. Gamestop is very good about getting in lots of shipments of games. The only thing that they would only sell to preorder people are the CEs, LEs, and SEs that have more preorders than quantity because of the small batch that was made of them. But for a regular game like TLoU Remastered, Gmaestop will have a lot of those. Best Buy, on the other hand, seems to be moving away from gaming. Most of my Best Buys barely have any games anymore. They're the ones that wouldn't have much stock on hand.

I guess it just varies from location to location. The few Gamestops around me have this mentality of "gotta pre order if you wanna get it on launch!" and will barely get any non-pre order copies.
