DR3 still at $59.96Amazon priced match these deals. At $39.99 price point
I had the same issue as far as people not knowing about GCU. How do they not know about it at this point? It's not like it's a new thing anymore . I know the way GCU works now is new, but they don't even know what GCU is at all.Like another user posted, talking to these people on the phone was like pulling teeth. Half the people I talked to didn't even know what GCU was and the others couldn't do it because the system wouldn't let them or they said I would have to do it in-store. I finally gave up after about an hour on the phone being transferred from one department to the next. I drove to Best Buy (it was on the way to somewhere else I was going) and talked to their Customer Service and relayed my experience on the phone. They tried a return/rebuy, but the system wouldn't let them. They ended up calling somebody and there was a separate system the person on the phone had access to and they were able to apply credits to my account. So, finally got the price adjustment on DR3 and Ryse. No one ever mentioned anything about the $25 gift card, so I don't think that was a factor.
Lol...I wish there were deals like this for PS4 games.
Because if you bought it online you can't do it in-store...And if you bought it in-store you can't do it online.Why is everyone price matching over the phone? Why not do it in the store?
Your like one of the cheapest man ho's I know, you should be right there next to deuce. He would have only done it for 1/4 and been done it 20 minutes though.I guess I'll relay my story. My cousin and I made a deal, I call Best Buy on his behalf when a price-match/deal comes up and I get 50% of the return. He is very well off (his parents just bought him a $2,500 gaming PC and he bought himself a PS4 and XB1).
So he had bought Ryse, DR3, and Forza 5 early December. I told him I could get back $48 total for all three games, would he want me to try, he said go for it.
The woman I talked to understood, or so I thought. DR3 and Forza were in one order and she got $32 back on that no problem. But she said they couldn't give anything back for Ryse due to using $25 in rewards. Which is nonsense since that is still currency to Best Buy. She then puts me on hold and comes back and informs me that she talked to her supervisor and I am indeed correct and they will issue an $8 refund. I was like "why $8, it should be $16. Just like DR3/Forza. They are identical in the situation $60>48 and now $40>32."
She said because it was $48 when it was purchased and now it's $40...I explain AGAIN about the 20% making it $32 right now. She then falls back on the "You used rewards"....We just went over this, you agreed that does NOT negate a price match....This goes on for a few more minutes and she puts me on hold again. When she gets back on the phone she said OK I do apologize, you are correct and I applied the $16 to that order as well.
Overall it took 48 minutes from start to finish...But I got it done.
No idea who deuce is...but my cousin is the one who offered to give me half. I never asked for anything. He's my cousin, I help him out and he felt it fair to give me a share of the refund.Your like one of the cheapest man ho's I know, you should be right there next to deuce. He would have only done it for 1/4 and been done it 20 minutes though.
5 minute phone call sitting at home vs driving 10 mins to the store and wasting a gallon of gas in my truck.Why is everyone price matching over the phone? Why not do it in the store?
I never experienced any glitches, but the replay isn't great. I beat the campaign twice and got to about level 35 in multiplayer and it was pretty stale by then. Good, pretty game but I've enjoyed Black Flag and Lego Marvel more.5 minute phone call sitting at home vs driving 10 mins to the store and wasting a gallon of gas in my truck.
That said I finished RYSE tonight, what a great freakin' game. I understand the reviews I guess but I loved every bit of it, never once got bored which is saying a lot for me. May trade it in if it's still $30 tomorrow, not sure if I wanna get 100% on it or not, heard it's glitchy and the replay is a bit small.
You could always add one of the games to your cart and go through the checkout process up until the point where you add in RZ certificates to see if they can be added. You can do that without actually completing your order. I would assume if they can be added online that they can be added in store.Sorry to repost this question, but I need an answer ASAP.
Is it possible to use a RZ certificate on a purchase, even if the certificate wasn't earned on the GCU account that you're using for the 20% (online). I would also appreciate an answer to if it works in-store too.
Thanks.
Ive used my wife's RZ certs a few times as well as those gifts that best buy sends out but it's always YMMV :/Sorry to repost this question, but I need an answer ASAP.

Yeah, the economy is skewed the other direction now actually. Not complaining, just cars are wicked cheap. Most expensive car is 2M. Admittedly doesn't hurt that I've gotten 6M from Forza Rewards but yeah, cars are cheap.Just put in an order for Forza 5. I hated on that game due to the micro transactions. It sounds like they fixed a lot of that??
I already bought, played and sold the other two games.
This makes no sense and is faulty logic.This might also be because PS4 software is supposedly selling better so Microsoft feels the need to start offering more sales.
I know there's a lot of articles (Google it) that are saying Killzone is at 1Million+ and Dead Rising 3 was last around 600k.
For what it's worth, she wasn't really wrong per se; the issue is with how Best Buy lets you redeem RZ points. It subtracts them from the price of the item, making the item appear to cost less on the receipt. I used to work at a Best Buy, and it made returns problematic, because it essentially devalues the item. Glad you eventually got it worked out, though!I guess I'll relay my story.

Nope, but seriously wish they had a service where you could just email them your order numbers and screen caps or something to get a PM.
Not sure, but hopefully they match soon. I'm pretty close to hopping in my car and going to best buy if they don't match in the next hour or two.Amazon has yet to drop Dead Rising 3's price, what gives? They did it for Ryse and Forza so far, but no DR3?
Just did last night. Said they would reply within 3 days...
The mail has been slow because of the holiday backlog. I still haven't gotten my $25 giftcard that shipped on the 27th.A bit OT, but has anyone had any problems with Bestbuy's shipping lately? I recently ordered a Fitbit from them with Express shipping and it was supposed to arrive today or tomorrow. But I just got a UPS Mychoice notification saying it'll arrive on the 6th.
It's UPS. I have gotten 6 emails for one package due "unavoidable circumstances" or something like that.A bit OT, but has anyone had any problems with Bestbuy's shipping lately?

Can you confirm what is the status of your delivery? Mine says already delivered on 30th, but I never received the GCs!The mail has been slow because of the holiday backlog. I still haven't gotten my $25 giftcard that shipped on the 27th.
I'm the one using another person's GCU account and I don't have that login info, but thank you though.You could always add one of the games to your cart and go through the checkout process up until the point where you add in RZ certificates to see if they can be added.

Agreed. UPS is getting ripped right now for their shoddy service during the holiday season this year. Strange, because they're usually better than FedEx or USPS.It's UPS. I have gotten 6 emails for one package due "unavoidable circumstances" or something like that.
I'll wait for Ryse to price drop to $20
Honestly, I use USPS for my eBay sales all the time and they are a seriously undervalued service these days. I print my labels online and save a ton of money, because I do that I never have to stand in line to drop off a package, they have pick-up locations everywhere and most of my packages arrive to their destination in 3-4 days regardless of how I ship. Making it even funnier is how often FedEx or UPS just delivers to a local post office and then lets the USPS deliver to the actual destination.Agreed.

Funny thing happened to my ThinkGeek package this year. It was sitting at the UPS warehouse in my town on Wednesday. On Friday, I check again...still sitting in the UPS warehouse. Saturday, same thing. Sunday they passed it off to the USPS (United States Postal Service) & I had it on Monday.
So UPS couldn't get my package from their warehouse 5 miles from my house in 4 days, but the USPS could do it in a few hours. What a strange holiday season.
Slightly back on topic. Ryse is fun. $20 would be an excellent price point, but I don't feel bad for buying it with my new console. I had a blast.
USPS is excellent. They handle more mail then everyone and a few bad experiences are the exception not the rule.Honestly, I use USPS for my eBay sales all the time and they are a seriously undervalued service these days.

Getting Ryse for $17 or cheaper (if you got DW8 online it was what $8 compared to $15 in store at least for me it was) is a HUGE upgrade. I love Ryse and plan on going back and playing through it again shortly.I got my Dynasty Warriors 8 in from GCU coupon, guess I'll go trade it in for $30.80 and pick up Ryse which I hear is underrated.
Did you buy in-store or on-line originally?Got this price matched over the phone and they just credited me $20 flat :|

This was an online order :/ but it was part of the 100+ and they did it. Tried matching deals I store for in store purchases that were also part of $100+ for $15 GC and was denied since the GC made value of games lower than the price I wanted to match :/Did you buy in-store or on-line originally?
I would contact someone at Best Buy about that. I got mine some time on the 30th. Surprisingly, it arrived before the games did.Can you confirm what is the status of your delivery? Mine says already delivered on 30th, but I never received the GCs!
I hope it is incorrect status update, and the GCs are still on route.
Seems like the norm with most people. I really enjoyed the game. It looks absolutely amazing and has a solid story line. The replay value seems to be slim and the multiplayer is meh after a few rounds. But at this price point, pick it up and trade it back in after you beat it in a week.Just finished Ryse. Gotta say that maybe it was because I went in knowing the scores so I didn't have expectations. BUT I really enjoyed myself. Don't regret paying $40 at all. Will I ever play it again? Maybe but probably when its bargain bin anyways.
Mine should be delivered tomorrow. We'll see if that happens or not.Can you confirm what is the status of your delivery? Mine says already delivered on 30th, but I never received the GCs!
