Hmmm, conflicted with preordering sunset overdrive...I already preordered COD AW and will get that cheap on day one, but to get sunset overdrive now or later. Impulse buy...yes or no guys XD. I guess if I don't like the game I could always trade it in to get my money back...no idea.

I saw you already decided, but just to pile on, I went to get The Evil Within Friday night (on chapter 3, not really a fan). At the same time, I pre-ordered SO, CoD: AW, and Halo: TMMC. It'll be a sad trio of weeks for my wallet. However, I figure that's $30 in rewards certs I can hopefully put towards SSB on the Wii U, meaning I'll get that for about $20 at launch (though I might have to wait a few days for the Halo cert to pass through before picking Smash up).

Yea, but thanks for replying as well frier! You've helped me a lot the past week already too haha. And I agree, my wallet is going to hurt for the next few weeks or rather for the next few months, and not to mention I have school and college applications to be working on ._.

Aw that i kind of sucks. I'm at around $1000 spent now, I might get another $200-$300 this holiday season unless i suddenly decide i need another big box item. so by the time I get to $1500 there might be only 1 month of elite to enjoy. Thanks for answering atleast!

No you would get it for Feb. 2015- Feb. 2016

 
i have the sso bundle preordered so that's $10. If I preordered the physical version of sso will that get me another $10? Or no because it's the same game included in the bundle
 
For those that just got their SoM points, are the points already posted or is it pending? Mines finally showed up on my account but in pending status.

 
A couple of questions:

1. Is the GTAV pre order bonus still available? It's listed on the Bonus page, but when I check the listing for the PS4 version, there's no mention of it in the special offers section.

2. It seems like the Halo pre order bonuses are only offered if you pre order both Master Chief Collection and Halo 5 at the same time, is that correct?

Holy crap, that's a lot better than I expected on the reviews. There were whispers about the game that worried me a tick, so I was expecting an average of about 7, with some 6s in there. That's an 8.2 average, with some high scores handed out. Color me impressed and ready to throw this flaming turd of disappointment that is The Evil Within back to Best Buy in the near-future (possibly today, to get more credit towards Sunset Overdrive).

1. If you're talking about the $1,000,000 of GTA online currency, the bonus is supposed to be a voucher packaged inside the first print run of games so you'll be fine.

2. You don't need to preorder Halo 5. You get the bonus as long as you preorder it, period. It's advisable to preorder online since you can guarantee the Halo book will be set aside for your order. Some cashiers will be obvlious about the extras so if you preorder in-store, you run the risk of the item running out of stock or just completely forgetting to get the freebie in the same transaction.

Question: How are you guys able to see the term of your GCU membership? When I log into my account online, I see the points that I've earned and no mention of the end date to the right of the points.
 
I have the $10 coupon for advanced warfare from trading in Ghosts.

I am also a GCU member.

Has anyone tried preordering AW yet with GCU and using the $10 coupon making the price 48.99-10= $38.99 AND still getting the $10 GC back for the preorder? I am asking because the $10 coupon says its only valid starting next monday.

You can't use the coupon till you pick up the game. Can't use it online either
 
Hey CAGS, quick question I cant remember the answer to. When does Best Buy cut off in store preorders?

The reviews for Sunset have convinced me to get it but I'd like to preorder in-store so I an get in the GCU deal too.

I seem to recall they cut in-store preorders off a day early but I cant remember.

Thanks!

i have 2 accounts…on my main one, its in Rewards-->Account overview right under $$ spent towards elite. It'll have the Gamers Unlocked logo, and your term date just to the right of that.

On my second account, everything is the same, but the term date is missing completely.

Look for an "overview" link.

Thanks I had to click around some links to find it but I knew about the Account Overview log in method. I thought someone mentioned being able to see it next to the points display but I find it via the "Learn More" link next to the "My Benefits" listed under the points. After that, I had to scroll up from the page I was linked to and found it there. Not as obvious and clear as it was displayed under the old RZ website.
 
Ugh, I went in today to pre-order Sunset Overdrive, but they didn't have any pre-order cards and their kiosk was down for maintenance. Really sucks since I wanted to pick it up tomorrow with 2 years of GCU. Looks like I might have to buy another game to do that with. Should have pre-ordered sooner.

 
You can pre-order in stores just by having them type in the SKU found on the BBY.com page. In your case, just tell them to type in 9812053 for Sunset Overdrive.

Oh... Well crap, might have to go after work. They said that once they run out of pre-order cards, they can't accept any more.

 
Alright, just pre-ordered Sunset Overdrive and put down $30. Ready to get another GCU tomorrow and finally play another game on my X1 (besides Destiny).

Not the $1,000,000 in GTA bucks. I mean Best Buy was offering $10 reward certificate for GTAV preorder at some point. It's still listed as having it on this page: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/games-promotions/my-best-buy-get-10/pcmcat308100050002.c?id=pcmcat308100050002 . However this page seems to be out of date since it still lists Shadow of Mordor. However, when you go to this page: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/grand-theft-auto-v-playstation-4/7358056.p?id=1219266293179&skuId=7358056 and look at the special offers; there's no mention of the $10 bonus.

nope it is still going, however if you got the $10 from GTA V when it came to 360 and PS3, you will not get the $10 for next gen copies.

You're in the right place. Not sure why it doesn't show an expiration date for you...

dc delta90 said:
This isn't right. The PS4 or XBX1 versions weren't even known to be coming when we did the original GTA promo. These are set up to work separately and will work separately. Doesn't matter if you participated in this offer on the old versions, as long as you meet all the qualifications for this (preorder and pick up within the pick up window) you're good to go.

Just a miscommunication on this. Apologies for that. We'll get this cleared up.

Pretty sure dc delta confirmed we will still get the 10$ if we participated in the last gen deal as it is considered separate.

He did.

If I preorder sunset overdrive right now for shipping I should still get the day edition and $10 certificate right?

And anyone have any idea what the trade in value would probably start at? Cause I know usually $40 base but with the 50% trade bonus next week I ain't sure how that will affect the starting value

Did you just recently get GCU or renew you sub? If so I'm almost positive it takes a few days before it's updated on there. Maybe that's why you don't see anything.

i got it with my white ps4 on 9/9. been using it like crazy for the past two months. i know it expires 9/2016 or at least it should. dunno why everyone else sees it but i don't, but hopefully i'll find out

That's exactly how mine looks. Just out of curiosity are you the only one in your house hold with Best Buy rewards/gcu?

It should list it above the part that says "club benefits." Looking at the picture for some reason it doesn't show your date. Mine says Feb 11, 2016.

It depends on the game. For games like SSO you'll be fine. It's not like they're gonna sell out tomorrow. As long as the system will allow it, you can still pre-order.

I was able to get the Destiny White PS4 bundle pre-ordered in store when that SKU got taken out of the kiosk and was no longer available for in-store pickup online. If when they enter the SKU into the computer it doesn't return an error, then you're good to go.

If you pre-order on a Monday before release and they don't physically have any more copies of the game in the store (like a niche JRPG or something), then you'll most likely have to wait until a copy is shipped to the store. Regardless, even in this case you should be able to pre-order in the store.

A lot of employees will tell you it's not possible without the slip or whatever, but just politely tell them to enter it and see what happens. If you can't, the system will tell them.
