We need bb to extend this! I plan to get ghost. 20extra would be awsome

 

[Maestro]

I would love a pretty hefty bonus for preordering the Xbox One at Best Buy. $100 gift card is what I'm looking for. I mean, it does cost $500.

 

[strait edge follower]

if games were gonna be added they would have been added by now. mabye when this set of games are done with this promo a whole new list will be added

Not gonna happen.

Yeah, retailers are going to have enough trouble fulfilling orders at msrp.

 

[Havok83]

I wish they would add more games. Its the sole reason why I buy my games at BB day one over any other retailer.

Make sure you vote in the thread htz linked

 

[htz]

Great job guys, both ideax suggestions are currently changed to "under review" by Allan.

 

[Donut2922]

That thread deserves more kudos. I'm sure hundreds of people preorder at Best Buy through cag alone.

If you guys don't speak up and vote don't complain if the $20 RZ offer stops after GTA V.This is our chance to affect Best Buy's promo for Day 1 releases.

Sorry to derail the momentum, buy how does one renew Unlocked? I was at the CS desk trading Black Ops2 and the girl had no idea. They have eliminated the gaming register at my store. Any help?

You basically just purchase another subscription/ the latest issue in store to get another year.

Keep up the kudos in the BBY forums everyone!

^Just print that out, and make sure they have your reward zone number. Also ask for the coupon pamphlet before you leave.

There should be a barcode in each magazine that they can scan.

 

[kellte2]

Thank you all for the responses! Hope we make some headway on re-upping that Victory Can Be Unlocked promo.

 

[Mako1215]

I wish they would allow a $20 cert for each different system.

Pretty sure I just got a $20 reward certificate from preordering God of War: Ascension. Didn't think I was going to ever get it since I goofed and cancelled my preorder on release day to instead buy a regular copy....and then go back 2 days later to trade it back in for the CE.

 

[nextisland]

i hope they add more titles for the $20 credit cause theyre memebership isnt worth the $15 atm with those mediocore coupons 

 

[TheCollegeGamer]

Just logged in over there to give kudos to both of those threads and comment on the Victory Can Be Preordered one.

 

[Ashtaar]

I have a question, I want to get splinter Cell black list but my 5 dollar GC expires on 9/7/13 

If I preorder online with the coupon will it still count or do I have to spend the 5 dollar GC on some random junk before it expires?

As long as you place the pre-order before the expiration date, the GC will apply...

Freaking sweet dude

 

[kinney_bmx]

Does this apply to the WiiU version of a game too?

Really need more games to play on my WiiU so was thinking about Splinter Cell

 

[Wint3rSoldier]

only have GTA V left to pick up...

BestBuy really needs to re-up this promo for the rest of the fall releases

 

[usagi]

Nope, just PS3/Xbox 360 for now. Maybe in the future that might change that if they continue the promotion.

 

[Hoffer]

I agree!! I work near a BB and walk over there once or twice a week. I keep checking to see if they're adding more titles and it's bumming me out.

 

[Ashtaar]

my votes for next titles added: Watch Dogs, AC4, Killzone

Guess I'll just be doing GTAV then. Might not even do that

So, I'm pretty sure my Gamer magazine subscription will lapse right before GTA 5 comes out. Does anybody know if your gamers club unlocked status lingers around for a month or so? Because that would be super.

 

[Xellos2099]

A question, GTA V is coming ou on 17 and my gamer unlock expire on 19.  Well I get the 20 as long as i pick up thr game on 17th?

 

[strait edge follower]

new ones will be added in january, watch

No, unfortunately it doesn't linger.

Do you know if you can renew your Magazine subscription online and pay with paypal. GCU is worth the 15 bucks easily but I don't want to have to drive 45 minutes twice so I can get one game.

You can only sign up or renew in store.

 

[TheCollegeGamer]

Damn, have a RZ cert expiring tomorrow. I need to find something to use it on. Would just get a Kindle Card, but the closest BB to me is 40 minutes away and I don't think I'll make the drive for that. Chances South Park is good?

you can place an online order and then return it in store next time you're there and then they will reissue a new certificate

Really? I thought the cert was gone for good once you used it because of expiration dates and what not. Could theoretically just chain ride all of my certs then, I guess until I figure out if Amazon upgrades me to a Day One Edition Xbox One.

yup there will be a point adjustment in your account within a week

Interesting. Good to know since I have a few more certs expiring in August and beyond. Will probably just use this one for SMT since I could get it for about $25 which is less than the $30 eShop credit I would eventually have to buy for Dual Destinies (since I already have FE:A and imagine that Phoenix Wright will be at least $30 when it comes out). Probably will just preorder South Park with the $20 cert that expires in August on that though and just return it if the game reviews poorly. Wish they would give a date for that game! Or just reup this promo! Or if Amazon would upgrade my order!

Thanks again for all of the info and help, Donut.

south park is under the $20 certificate promo

 

[TheCollegeGamer]

south park is under the $20 certificate promo

Yeah, I know, that's why I was going to just use my cert on it because I've been getting most of the games in the promo with certs (no interest in Blacklist though), but I'm just afraid with so few critics doing hands on coverage with the game that it's not being shown because, despite Matt and Trey working hard on the script, it doesn't play all that well. I could be wrong though, just wish there was more info before I throw down one of my certs on something that I have reason to believe won't be good. Less of a concern now that I know I can get the cert back, didn't think I could before.

Best buy is giving $10 in reward zone points for preordering GTA 5 as long as you are a reward zone member, anyone know if this will stack with the gamers club?

Can you tell us where you are seeing the $10? How you heard about it?

Yes, need more info please.

 

[MXRider]

How long before do you have to preorder to get it? Can I preorder gtav the day before it releases and still get the $20 RZ credit?

 

[inky1600]

It's in the Best Buy ad for 8/4

 

[PublikDefender]

It's in the Best Buy ad for 8/4

wow weird. so is the better option to try for the extra $10 to wait until 8/4 to pre-order?
