They were ready for pickup.

I think maybe the reason why they asked for my name for Dying Light was b/c some stores stopped taking pre-orders (at least online for store pickup) before it was released. So I guess they had to properly inventory the orders. I don't think that was the case for Evolve so they just grabbed it off the pre-order pile.

GCU is applied if you pay in full (which you have to) for online orders. GCU is not applied for in-store pre-orders, so if you did pay in full ($60), I gather you'd have to go through the process of getting a refund when you pick up the order (I'd avoid that).

You can use certs online, but I can't confirm if you can use them for an online pre-order.
Click to expand...
Cool that's what I wanted to be confirmed. If I pay in full before the game comes out, I'd have to return and rebuy to have the gcu applied correctly. Also, I'm planning on using certs on 2 pre orders and it seems like you can apply the certs on pre orders online. I'm not gonna cancel my the order 1886 CE instore pre order though since it's sold out online lol. Thanks for helping out man I appreciate it.

Also, do you remember how long it took for the "victory can be pre ordered bonus" 500 points to show up on your dying light purchase? I think mine took about 3 days.

i can (confirm).

online GCU pre-orders have been 100% painless for me and I have always received my RZ certs/bonuses, etc.

Also nice is that the rewards certs are applied after the GCU discount, so you get the full benefit. I used my Evolve/Dying Light certs plus an extra 5 from blowing a bunch of money to get Majora's Mask 3D for 7.50.

Really it gets applied after GCU? I thought they apply gcu first then the cert atleast instore.
 
Just preorder online next time. The process is much smoother.

randoms haven't been terrible so far, tbh. monster tends to have the upper hand by default, but a well coordinated (and perked) human team gives them a run for their money.

but, i will say, friends are probably more forgiving of dumb mistakes. except when they're not...then they're ruthless! haha.

I wish we could have an option to allow "all talk" between monster and hunters. That would be so much fun if I could taunt my buddies while playing as a monster.

Im liking Evolve a lot, glad I picked it up last minute. But like others said its definitely a game you need to play with friends to get the full enjoyment. Takes a lot of teamwork/communication that you dont get with most randoms.

Just put in my preorder for The Order, after Certs and GCU, it was only $8.48. That's one of the many reasons I enjoy shopping at BB. Excited to see Mortal Kombat finally showing up on the $10 Bonus Cert Program. Seems most people got their bonus 500 points for Evolve already? That's impressive, 3 days is the fastest I've seen them post. Maybe this is the start to them trying to make the program a little better/faster.

I guess it's one more reason to never bother going to a real-life store.

 
My points for Dying Light posted a few hours ago, so for me at least, I can confirm that a return/rebuy (that says pricematch at the top) when your deposit doesn't come off the total will still get your 500 pts. In the end, I got an extra $5 back back on the return/rebuy for whatever reason too, but I didn't get any points for the $2-$3 in cash I paid (after using gift cards).

 
Since a lot of BB regulars hang out in this thread, the new movers packet at USPS offices still have a Best Buy 10% coupon, good till 5/30/15.  Only one item, has both an in store code and online code (seperate) and again good only for one item.  Its attached to the actual form you fill out for moving, not a seperate slip of paper like before.

They were able to help me and received both the code and the 500 points. The 500 points are available to use already though what the hell? Not sure if it was manually added or not but hey I can't complain

Sounds like it's more in-store vs online preorder. Online preorders show as pending quicker and it sounds like they probably get posted quicker. Although maybe when you pre-order still factors in.

I pre-ordered Dying Light in-store 2-3 weeks before release date, picked it up on release date, and I didn't get it posted until today.

I have got one of the movers coupon that is valid from 2/1/15 - 4/30/15. However, I have tried to use it for the recent pre-owned b2g1 and shadow of motor deal (the $23.99 one after gcu), but the coupon stack with none of those deals when I bought the items in store.

Any idea how to use it with the new game pre-order? Do I HAVE to Do the $5 pre-order in store first?

are these coupons in any (or most USPS offices)? Where are they kept? Do I have to go to whomever is working and ask for it? Fill anything out?

fuck, the online code is separate? I used one last weekend on a new laptop and the cashier just took the coupon, didn't even think about the online code :wall:
 
Can I retroactively get a $10 for, say, Evolve? When you click the first link in the OP, the likes of evolve and dying light are still there, despite me thinking that this was exclusively for pre-orders.

I tried figuring it out by adding both new releases and pre-orders to the cart and reviewing the info, but nohing is mentioned about a gift card -- NOT EVEN THE GAMES FOR PRE-ORDER -- thus making it unable to see any difference.

I want to pick up evolve today but only if I can get a gift card!

you have to preorder and when you do it says nothing about the 10 dollar cert in the cart. It will pop up in your purchase history within 15 days.

I did my first ever trade to Best Buy a couple hours ago so I can get the new Mortal Kombat. The guy who took my trade in even did a balance inquiry on my gift card before I left to make sure it was activated properly. So I just went to place my order and every time I get this message "We did not recognize the security code you entered for the following gift card, Be sure to enter the 4 digit security code from the back of your Gift Card"

The security code is my pin, right? Any help getting this to work would be very appreciated.

Yeah I checked it like 5 times. I logged out, closed my browser and logged back in and then it worked fine. It must have just been a glitch with the system, thanks though.

One more question, How long does it take for my trade in points to post?

Anyone that might know the answer to this; I bought this game Friday afternoon for the full price online. It hasn't shipped yet. Either way, is it possible to get a price adjustment for the $10 cheaper version?

I am GCU but that shouldn't matter either way.

I would like to Pre-Order Mortal Kombat X, but not sure if I should do it through Gamestop's Exclusive Kollectors Edition or through Best Buy with GCU and buy the "Kombat Pass" separately...

This is Gamestop's Exclusive Kollectors Edition, which comes with the game, Kombat Pass, and a special skin for Scorpion (which I really don't care for) = $99

http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/games/mortal-kombat-x-gamestop-exclusive-limited-edition/120160

But through Best Buy and my GCU, the game alone would be $48. Do any of you think the Kombat Pass will be sold separately, or is it only included with special edition preorders?

Thanks

 
kombat pass will be sold seperately, Best Buy is the better way to go if you like money since its going to be $38 ($48 - $10 RZ preorder bonus) the season pass will be probably on PSN/XBL for $20-25, so that'd be total of $60-65 vs $100 at GS.

http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2015/02/12/mortal-kombat-x-season-pass-confirmed-will-include-new-characters-skins/

they sold the MK9 kombat pass seperately there will also 99.99% likely be DLC skins sold on the store and then in 6-9 months a MK10 GOTY edition with all skins included.  Unless you are a huge skins fan i'd just buy the base game, skip the skins, and then buy the GOTY edition this winter.

Thanks! I figured that the Kombat Pass would be sold separately... with the trend nowadays, it may even be available on the day of release.

Yeah, when the developer decided to not comment rather than offering a "real" time, that's troubling news. The game may be great, but I can't pay anywhere close to full price if there's so little to offer. I'm afraid this is just another in a long line of disappointments from Sony. I really wish they could get their act together because I respect them for taking more risks and investing more than Microsoft, but these sales duds will eventually make them give up on anything but the biggest franchises (we've already seen them scale back somewhat).

I'm sure that's true and I'm willing to still give it the benefit of the doubt. My only concern is that the developer decided to not address the play through time instead of saying something more encouraging. I guess I understand why he didn't, but if you have good news about that, you would think you would want to get it out there for marketing/sales purposes. There's no doubt this 5 hour play through news is going to significantly affect sales.

Also, to your point, my play through of the Last of Us was much longer than what many other people said it took them. I spent 23 hours (according to the game) and I routinely heard people say it took them 12-15 hours.

true but when someone "can" beat it that quick it's not a great sign from a linear single player only experience and won't offer much replay value in later playthroughs. He also mentions it is impossible but doesn't say why it's impossible, what part of the game he's missing or maybe a sped up video or something.

and in that article they mention half the game is cut scenes? If they're gonna do that it should be much longer. idk I'm interested to see reviews on this, I mentioned it awhile ago I smell flop and this doesn't help it's case.

maybe just trying to summon a $10 GC for it. I might be in the minority, but i dont care if a game is only 6 hours if it's a really good 6 hours. Embargoed reviewers are suggesting 8-10 hours if you play it like a normal player. 5 hours to speedrun. I hate games that dont respect my time by padding out length or sticking around too long, even if they have a great idea/premise (cough cough, Alien Isolation).

Agreed. If it's an amazing 6 hours I'm satisfied. There are plenty of other games I can go waste 30 hours in if I want. Sometimes I just want a good story to play through.

well excuse me, I actually thought it was. It's been so over hyped up I figured it was. I guess Best Buy smells it's gonna be a flop too :p
